Why do humans choose materialistic riches over spiritual wealth?

The reason why people prefer material riches over spiritual wealth is because they believe that happiness lies there.

When one sees and reads through numerous social media platforms how those with materialistic riches are living and enjoying their wealthy lifestyle, one starts to dream of pursuing a similar lifestyle.

However, only if one were to investigate whether happiness lies in materialistic riches, one will find that the reality is far from the truth; happiness may be experienced, but it lasts only for a while. It is never for long and never everlasting.

Material wealth does bring temporary happiness, but it is always followed by unhappiness for one reason or another.

The world considers money and wealth to be one of the most important things in life. But this love towards money will disappear when a person develops a love for their spiritual wealth.

Following are some important spiritual principles that help instill in us the right understanding regarding material riches and spiritual wealth:

• Do not obstruct money if it comes your way but do not go digging for it if it does not. Money will come when it is destined to come to you, and it will leave when it is time for it to leave.
