The Living Quietness

The whole world is your home. I am the Mother of the wicked, I am the Mother of the virtuous. Whenever you are in distress, say that 'I have a Mother'. Sri Sarada Devi.

Money, a sense.

Everything in life is an expression of God, as are food, money and so on.
Siva Baba, the Scholar Mystic who brings forth the beneficial expansion of wisdom, shines the truth of honoring wealth through relating this example - the setback and shortcomings in one's finance is due to one's disrespect toward Kubera, the Lord of wealth.
A coin lying on a pathway is a lack of reverence. I am glad that whenever I came across the one cent or a dime lying on the floors disturbed me. Sometimes I had put it somewhere so someone else do not have to walk over it.
Similarly a writing material like a pencil or a paper, a typing station like a computer are Sarawati, the divine source for learning and knowledge. Reverence to God in the many forms in the details of our life brings us the unique grace and keeps open the doors of wealth, of all kinds - knowledge, learning, food, money, joy, meaning and so on.
