1 You see people working because they need to feed their families and comply with what karma brings to them. There is no wrong for those who live in poverty, and neither is it for those who live in wealth.
2 The one who hoards more money than can ever be spent in a lifetime gets engulfed in his environment, while the one who sees no future in his work is also engulfed in his own thinking.
3 It is not through striving to escape poverty that one becomes whole but by complying with what has to be learned. You see, through poverty, you can cleanse yourself from whatever you may have done in the past or past lifetimes.
4 Through wealth, you may have chosen to live and experience such a lifetime, but be humble because avarice can take you to self-destruction: If, on the one hand, to be wealthy is good, on the other hand, it may also be (*)bad.
5 And for the one who wants to suffer only to earn a place on heaven and Earth, he also falls into sin (error) by seeking to accomplish what does not correspond to him in an elusive attempt to free oneself from what is due to him.
6 The one who suffers because he wants to suffer, thinking that the more one suffers, the more indulgences he earns in heaven, will not acquire them because indulgence is indulgence—greed is greed.
7 The greed for suffering to advance and grow is the same as that of the rich man who wants to possess and possess in order to always have.
8 It is honoring life itself—what is given, what is provided, what is placed before oneself; fulfilling it and doing it as it was meant to be. Because it is oneself who seeks one’s own balance. And it is oneself who forgets what, in essence, and origin, was supposed to be done and become. You see?
9 Helping others through compassion is helping them to understand… to un-der-stand; not to free them from their karma—not to relieve them of their burden, but to make them understand what needs to be understood. You see?
10 How many years were you (FV) working hard and barely receiving payment for your work? Do you see how it makes sense what you had to go through in order to learn, understand, and attain the knowledge of what money is all about? Abundance is in the continuity of things and not in the excess of things.

Article 4—Bad implies bringing adverse behavior. On a deeper level, there is no good or bad, but in this earthly realm, these words seek for humanity to understand certain aspects of life.
