You will be surprised to know that in poor countries people are more contented than in rich countries. The poor man is already living in hell, but he lives with a consolation. He knows this life is short, and after that is just darkness and hellfire. Now can this man make love? He may be eating the best food possible, but he cannot enjoy it. He is thinking of paradise where camels are entering, and he is standing outside and there is no way to go in. He may be making love to a beautiful woman, but it is only the body that is making love. Even if he enjoys, or tries to enjoy things, his guilt poisons it. They will be thrown into hell.īecause of this situation, the rich man lives in a very fearful state. Riches are creating guilt in them – they will not be consoled because they are not mourning: they will not be allowed in paradise because they are having so many things on the earth. And they are deep down afraid: perhaps they may not be allowed to enter into paradise. They cannot enjoy their richness because of the guilt. Ninety-eight percent of the people live in poverty, but with a great consolation, that where rich people will not be able to enter, they will be received with angels playing on their harps, “Alleluia… Welcome!” And the two percent who are rich are living with tremendous guilt that they are rich.
