Diligent People Have No desire Of Money

Meaning: According to the Rigved 6/19/5 - "The ocean has no desires, even then innumerable rivers merge into it. Similarly wealth is always in th eservice of industrious men, i.e. those who work and are diligent, never feel the want of money".
Message: "Seva paramo dharmaha" - To serve others is the most pious and pure act in this world. One principal part of religion is a feeling of togetherness. Because of man's nature of working together and helping one another in innumerable fields such as education, health, culture, science, trade and architecture etc man has reached the zenith of progress. It is our duty to use our talents in the uplift of society, to help the wretched, sorrowful, ill and helpless person, and to donate to social institutions engaged in good activities and working for good purposes.
It is a misconception in people's minds that by giving in donation, they suffer financially. The actual truth is that the money used for other's welfare is returned to us many more times. The religious books enjoin us to "earn with a hundred hands and distribute with a thousand hands". Those helping others do not remain wretched and unhappy. It is an act of sowing seeds in God's farm. Each grain produces thousands of grains. Man should never be lethargic in work and diligence. Earn to the maximum extent with hard work and honesty and after fulfilling your meager needs as befits a Brahman, use the remaining in helping others.
The ocean has immensurable quantity of water, but does not utilize it for own use. With sun's cooperation he gives away water as vapor which in turn comes down as rain to quench the thirst of the world. The ocean has no self-interest, no wish, nor any desire. Still does its water ever decrease? No, innumerable rivers always go on filling it with their waters. For a man connected with diligence and helping others in this way, there is never any dearth of money. When the desire for helping others is aroused in one's mind, then one's life is uplifted, wretchedness gets destroyed; new capacity is stirred up in the body, the capability to bear hardships increases and in every way, the path to progress manifests before the self. When one's talent and capacity is utilized for welfare-work, then God's help and blessings are automatically received. Not only that, cooperation from others too is easily available. The difficulties in the path of self-progress automatically start disappearing and achievement of life's goal becomes easy.
The learned ones and the Brahmans must try to tread this royal road to success.
