One day Ma Parvati asked “ Can a moneyed man be spirtitual? “
“Why not?” answered Shiva. “Man has only made the currency, but money is evaluated in terms of what it can buy. Whatever it can buy, wherefrom has all this come? Break everything down to the elements and you are back to Nature again. It can buy food, livestock, tents, a home, gems, metals, contraptions? All these belong to God, in any case. Is money unspiritual? No, you cannot blame the piece of paper. What goes wrong then?
On yet another day, Parvati asked Shiva, “So what exactly was the plan of Divine consciousness in creating this world? Was it essentially for learning about the Self?”
“Divine consciousness meant for this world to be a school of learning, yes; but as a playschool,
not one with fear of results,” answered Shiva.
“Hmm… like children at play are always in bliss?”
“Yes.”
“So, is that why they say children are the best representative of God?”
“A child is in the image of God. Most tribes and cultures agree on this.
