On Albert Einstein with respect to spirituality...

I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker in this cause. The example of great and pure characters is the only thing that can produce fine ideas and noble deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and always tempts its owners irresistibly to abuse it.
Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus, or Gandhi armed with the money-bags of Carnegie?

--- Albert Einstein


I would like the thoughts of you guys on this....

Who desires food when your stomach is full?

What all great and pure characters have in common is that they had a feeling of having. They did not need money to prove it. They did not fear the future and therefore "save" their money. They knew that money was but an energy that comes and goes, and flows freely if not horted. Poverty is not of the material, it is a state of consciousness.

This is a great answer and very insightful. Now, if I could learn that lesson...

Man living and born into a world , and whole life not knowing why anything happens,, really , we Man are a fine example of Love and strength and especially strength as we try to desparatley get along and help our young and ourselves and to accept that we do not know and live and try to live in peace when we are all destined for anger and wonder of why why why and we are all so far still here and this shows how patient and strong and Loving and so innocent people we all are and this is good and Man is quite impressive .
