Read the passage carefully, make notes on it and give the suitable title
We need money to survive, to be comfortable, to indulge and enjoy our-
selves. Even as children, though not earning ourselves, we seek pocket money
from parents money also gives you power over others. The more the money
more the purchasing power Nor surprisingly, money is the single most
sought after commodity today.
To acquire wealth, however, one needs knowledge The main purpose of
education is to acquire knowledge that prepares you to face life and help
build your character. If the only purpose of knowledge acquisition is to earn
money, then education is narrowed down to the knowledge required for only
a low level of subsistence.
Broader and deeper knowledge has sural advantages over material wealth
Knowledge can be used to make money, but it cannot really be purchased
with money, It is acquired by individual efforts, Worldly wealth is limited,
knowledge is unlimited , Knowledge cannot be taken away or stolen. It is not
burdensome to carry and it causes no anxiety. Safeguarding one's costly wordly
possessions could be a source if immense anxiety. Wealth could diminish but
knowledge increases when shared. A man of wealth is respected only till he
possesses it; an erudite person is respected even long after he is no more.
The Mundaka Upanishad speaks of two kinds of knowledge; 'apara vidya' or
lower knowledge acquired by study of the Vedas, rituals and astrology for
one's well being in the material world, and 'Para vidya' or higher knowledge,
knowledge of the imperishable Being or God .one of the three main paths to
be followed to attain liberation is jnana yoga, or union with God through knowl-
edge. Krishna says in the Bhagvad Gita:
"Realisation and competence gained through spiritual practices are never lost"
Material wealth is an impediment for a seeker of ‘Para vidya'
, because it is a
source of obstruction. As Krishna says: "He on whom I want to bestow My
grace, I slowly deprive him of all his wealth.”
