Money is a Fool's God
We live in a world that worships a paper god. We sacrifice our health, our time, and our nervous systems at the altar of "Money." We are told that if we just earn a little more, we will finally be safe. We will finally be happy.
But as a Master, I must tell you the truth that the economy hides from you: Money is a tool, not a pulse. You cannot breathe a bank balance. You cannot hug a portfolio. To worship money is to starve the soul.
The Deathbed Test (The Only Statistic That Matters)
If you want to know the true value of your life, do not look at your net worth. Look at the end. Bronnie Ware, a palliative care nurse who spent years with people in their final weeks, recorded their most common regrets. Do you know what wasn't on the list? "I wish I had earned one million more." "I wish I had bought a better car." "I wish I had spent more time in the office."
Zero people said this.
Instead, the number one regret of the dying was: "I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me." They wished for simple things. They missed the sunlight. They missed deep conversations with real friends. They missed the taste of food eaten without rushing. They missed Peace.
The Illusion of Immortality
We live as if we will never die. We delay our happiness for a retirement that is not guaranteed. But the reality is that your breath is finite. Every inhale is a gift, and every exhale is a letting go. To trade your limited breaths for unlimited stress is the worst investment you can make.
The Path to Wealth (Silence and Breath)
So, if money is false wealth, what is real wealth? Real wealth is the ability to sit in a room, close your eyes, and feel absolutely whole. Real wealth is a nervous system that is not screaming.
The means to attain this peace is not through a purchase. It is through Silence and Breathing. At Yogveda, we do not teach you how to "perform." We teach you how to return to the source. Through the systematic practice of Yoga, we quiet the noise of the "Fool's God" so you can finally hear your own life.
Don't Wait for the End - Peace is the New Success
Do not wait until your final breath to realize that you forgot to live. Prioritize nature. Prioritize family. Prioritize the silence that heals you. Invest in the only asset that travels with you when you leave this world: Your Consciousness.
Start Your Journey to Reality.
