Pujya Gurudev clarifies why wealth is being sought for by the Gurukula. He says: “Wealth in the hands of unprepared intellects and uncultured hearts is not only suicidal to them, but is a threat to the stability of society. In our world, political and economic problems can be traced to the lack of character in the rich.” 

In this verse, the teacher and student pray first for a strong bond between the Lord and them. Only after that is established is an appeal made for wealth. Thus, wealth is seen to subserve the higher values of life, and not to compromise them. Sri Gurudev says, “The pre qualifications for wealth are full discrimination, good health, the spirit of tolerance, and an irresistible impatience to serve others. Without these, wealth becomes a dangerous weapon as a loaded pistol in the hands of an innocent child.”

Everyone in this family has studied the holy scriptures and the spiritual way.” So Svetaketu went to a teacher and studied the scriptures for twelve years. He returned home very proud of his intellectual knowledge. His father observed him and said, “My boy, you seem to have a high opinion of yourself; you are proud of your learning. But did you ask your teacher for the spiritual knowledge that enables you to hear the unheard, think the unthought and know the unknown?” “What is that knowledge, Father?” asked Svetaketu. “Just as by knowing a lump of clay, everything that is made of clay can be known, since any differences are only words, and the essential reality is clay. In the same way, by knowing a piece of gold, all that is made of gold can be known, since any differences are only wo...
