Man and Money

From the writings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov

Worldly desires, are like sunbeams in a dark room. They seem solid, until you try to grasp one.

Be forwarned: Man and money, cannot remain together forever. Either the money is taken from the man, or the man is taken from the money.

Money-worship, like idol-worship, stems from a lack of trust in God. The more it is uprooted, the more the world radiates, with the blessing of the Holy One's love.
