ALL GOOD QUALITIES JUST DEPEND ON GOLD

यस्यास्ति वित्तं स नरः कुलीनः स पण्डितः स श्रुतवान् गुणज्ञः ।

स एव वक्ता स च दर्शनीयः सर्वे गुणाः काञ्चनमाश्रयन्ति ।। 41 ।।

(भर्तृहरिविरचित नीतिशतकम्)

yasyaasti vittham sa narah kuleenaH sa panditaH sa shrutavaan gunajnaH

sa eva vaktaa sa cha darshareeyah sarve gunaaH kaanchnanam aashrayanti..

a quote from the great Philosopher king poet of India.. Bhartruhari...

"The one who has money is the ideal man, he is the man of class, he is the scholar, he is the learned, he is the connoisseur, he is the orator, he is the one who is worth meeting, ..

ALL GOOD QUALITIES JUST DEPEND ON GOLD..."

We human beings have somehow fallen into the trap of measuring human values on the basis of wealth, and also measuring wealth on the basis of possessing Kaanchanam or Gold..

The fact that Gold is the sureshot means of investment, in preference to most other means cannot be gainsaid..

Love of Gold appears to be psychological too.. but not without reason..
