If you have wealth, enjoy it, consume and enjoy it.
Or, give it in charity for the welfare of the deprived section of the society.
Or, if you are a miser and don't want to do either of the two, the wealth you have will be destroyed.
This is what is said in a Sanskrit shlok ( verse).
.
Do you agree?? Do you know the fourth way to spend your wealth.

That never made any sense to me, because obviously it is impossible for a camel to pass through the eye of a sewing needle, for example. But then I found out that the small door within the large doors of a caravanserei is called the eye of the needle, and suddenly it all made sense. (See for example the door in this picture
)
Because a small camel probably could pass through 'the eye of the needle' if it wasn't carrying bulky saddle bags. So if the rich man gave away his wealth he would be able to pass through. Doesn't that make much more sense? If he was generous and helped others he would be able to get to Heaven.

Thank you. I also thought to find the fourth way to spend my wealth, but couldn't find. You either use your money to enjoy yourself or help the needy with it. There is no other way to use your wealth.

If I had money I would give it to my relatives and save the rest of the money for emergencies.
