The Money Trap: Are We Chasing Wealth or Happiness?

Thursday, 27 March 2025 | Arihant Jain

In today’s fast-paced world, money has become the ultimate benchmark for success. The pursuit of financial security, luxury, and status often overshadows deeper aspects of life—family, relationships, and inner peace. But have we ever paused to ask: Are we earning money to live, or are we living to earn money?

Master Choa Kok Sui, the founder of Pranic Healing , provides profound wisdom on this matter:

"Making lots of money is good, but you have to take care of your family. If you have so much money and nobody to give to, what are you making money for? There is no happiness."

This statement resonates deeply in a time when long work hours, stress, and burnout have become the norm. We often prioritize careers over connections, investments over emotional well-being, and savings over shared experiences. While financial stability is essential, when money becomes the sole focus, it leads to isolation, dissatisfaction, and a never-ending cycle of desire.

The Modern Dilemma: Are We Slaves to Money?

Social media constantly reminds us of what we "lack"—bigger homes, fancier cars, luxury vacations. The pressure to earn more is relentless. However, as Master Choa Kok Sui warns:

"To be rich is okay, but you must control money and not have money controlling you. You do not become a slave of money."

This is a critical lesson in Pranic Healing about Financial Mindfulness. Money should be a tool, not a master. It must serve our well-being, not dictate our self-worth. True wealth is measured not just in currency but in the quality of our relationships, health, and peace of mind.

The Karma of Wealth: Why Saving and Investing Matters

Master Choa Kok Sui also highlights a lesser-discussed truth about wealth:

"If you do not save and invest, there are fewer channels for your good karma to manifest."

This means that prosperity needs multiple channels to flow into your life. When you save and invest, you are opening more doors through which financial karma can return to you. Wealth does not always come from a single source; rather, it flourishes through multiple streams—investments, savings, business ventures, and wise financial planning. By creating these different avenues, you allow prosperity energy to flow into your life in various ways.

Many misunderstand financial success as greed, but true abundance comes with responsibility. Saving and investing are not just financial strategies but spiritual ones, allowing wealth to grow and be shared. Giving to those in need, supporting charitable causes, and ensuring financial security for future generations are all ways to use money as a force for good.

A Balanced Approach to Money and Happiness

So how do we break free from the money trap? Here are some key takeaways:

 

Earn with Purpose – Work hard, but ensure your financial goals align with personal well-being and relationships.

Invest and Save – Open multiple financial channels so that prosperity can flow through different avenues into your life. Give Generously – Sharing wealth fosters abundance and brings greater joy than accumulation.

Prioritize Inner Peace – Meditation, spiritual growth, and gratitude can bring fulfillment beyond material gains. At GMCKS Wellness Studio, Pranic Healing Center, we believe that true prosperity comes from sharing. As a school of Pranic Healing, we wish to share this spiritual wealth with people of our city by offering:

1. Daily free meditation at 4 PM

2. One hour of free healing and counseling every Wednesday (by prior appointment)

If you would like to benefit from these services, you can book your free slot in advance by contacting on 9835178954.

In the end, money is a means, not an end. The real measure of wealth is not how much you have, but how well you live, love, and give. Let’s ensure that in the pursuit of financial success, we do not lose sight of what truly matters.
