Good story Shivraj. The parable certainly makes your point. Like honey bees accidentally pollinate, we are "money bees" that make the world prosperous by creating with the intention of making money. Actually, the way to earn the most money is to be of the most amount of service that you can to as many people as possible.
The trouble come in when we are attached to the money, or as Eckhart Tolle says, "attachment to form". I struggle with this a little bit as I am in the business of personal, business and spiritual growth and development. I teach people to become wealthy, because they can do more good for others and for themselves if they are wealthy and then I teach them not to be "attached to form". When I say form, I mean money and all the things that the money can buy.
The secret to enlightenment is awareness combined with absence of judgement and attachment. In other words, being aware of your egoic thoughts, noticing things (not judging) and not being attached to any outcome or any physical thing.
Any comments on my thoughts?
