The principle of wealth

The word “wealth” carries in its root the word “God.” (In Serbian: Bog – God; Bogatstvo – wealth).
A lot of God-ness, the Divine principle. The meaning of the word wealth in this world is often turned upside down into its opposite, into the opposing principle of the “prince of this world,” the negative image of God. Everything opposite. Like a film negative from which, in a photo lab, the image needs to be developed to reveal the original, the likeness of God. In the digital world, we only see an image that looks the same because the positive isn’t visible, making it hard for us to visually distinguish good from evil. 

If, according to God’s principle, truth exists, in the negative lies falsehood, which can appear as truth with good and continuous advertising, repeated thousands of times. God’s principle doesn’t advertise; it simply conveys what is, spreading like concentric circles when a pebble drops into calm water. Briefly and clearly, principled and beautiful. Look around you, observe nature, living beings, children… what is there to advertise? Everything is evident in action, if “you have eyes to see and ears to hear,” you will see and hear without polished advertising and pomp. The spiritually blind and deaf are susceptible to the advertising of the “father of lies.” 

The same goes for the concept of wealth. Instead of possessing the Godly principle, the soul, wealth (hidden behind the same word, due to camouflage), it advertises money, power, soullessness, and exploitation of one’s neighbor as values, presenting them as good and desirable. Yet all this calculation is completely misguided. 

Such “wealth” does not bring happiness but misfortune, does not bring God’s peace but unrest, does not bring tranquility to the soul but disquiet. If you follow the traces of people’s feelings instead of the trace of the money, you cannot be deceived by the advertisement of the negative. For example, “if you’re rich, then you feel great, powerful, ‘happy’ (the greatest illusion), you can have everything…” But if that’s the case, why are the rich so greedy for more money? If food is good, nutritious, and tasty, if it satisfies you, why do you need a mountain of it, as if you remained hungry even after gorging yourself on food, money, and power? Insatiability comes from a constant feeling of emptiness… more, more, more. 

For Wealth, according to the “emotional accounting” of God’s principle, the logic is different. What has a soul is enough for me, brings me joy, and makes me rich. 
A photo with my granddaughter, with just one sentence “The meaning of life, my version,” was liked by more people in an instant than various of my “smart and professional posts.” Without advertising, without words (it could have been just that one word: “Meaning”). And you can see happiness on her and my face without words. Almost everyone commented with similar phrases about “true wealth.” And indeed, it is. In truth, it is born. 
The calculation of God’s accounting: Happiness cannot be bought; it can only be “earned” by making others happy. It is a reflection in the mirror of the eye. 
I don’t compare this Wealth to money, but I can, for the sake of metaphor, draw the following calculation. When I see this priceless, happy, toothless baby smile, in relation to the feeling it evokes in me, I jokingly say, “Here’s my million-dollar smile.” Of course, what is priceless cannot have a price, but just for this occasion, let’s estimate it at a bargain, just a million. Let it be a million dollars per happy smile I receive at least 100 times a day, and I will do everything in my power to keep that frequency from decreasing. So, a billion a day. You do the math… And I’m not greedy. Every one of her smiles completely fulfills me. Oh, my Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Gates, and other poor calculators… who among you has such a rate of return on “capital”? Come on… your business with life has nothing to do with life.
