Store not your treasures on Earth...
Bhakti yoga / Sri Krsna, teaches that things of this world are temporary, whereas our relationship with God is eternal. Therefore, one should do one's material duties properly but without over-attachment for the fruits, using what is needed, but understanding you can't take your gold with you when death comes. But love of God is eternal, the soul and devotional exchange are eternal. Entrance into that realization is the highest gain, and brings the highest happiness.
Those too desirous of temporary pleasures of the human existence become bound by sinful reactions. But one who does his God-given duties in a spirit of cooperative service and duty, and enjoys the normal human things without attachment, without excess or sin such as illicit sex, is a liberated soul acting in a godly fashion. Re-Establishing loyal service to God in a loving and humble spirit of devotion, is the greatest gain. In due course, every possible richness is given to such loyal servants, even though they no longer have any mundane desire.

@1234gone This orientation towards bhakti helps immensely as a parent. The urge to fear the worst and try to control outcomes is exhausting; bhakti loving devotional service aids in relinquishing my iron grip on life and it's ups and downs. Hare Krishna
