True peace comes from depending on Krishna's provision, not from greed that violates dharma and creates bondage.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Pradyumna: Translation: "If a person too attached to the duties of family maintenance is unable to control his senses, the core of his heart is immersed in how to accumulate money. Although he knows that one who takes the wealth of others will be punished by the law of the government, and by the laws of Yamarāja after death, he continues cheating others to acquire money." Prabhupāda: vitteṣu nityābhiniviṣṭa-cetā vidvāṁś ca doṣaṁ para-vitta-hartuḥ pretyeha vāthāpy ajitendriyas tad aśānto-kāmo harate kuṭumbī [SB 7.6.15] So, vitteṣu nityābhiniviṣṭa-cetā, if we become too much attached for getting money, that is the material world. There is no satiation. Idaṁ prāpta [Bg 16.13], that Bhagavad-gītā word: "I have got so much money.
Now my bank balance is so much, and I shall get further money, and my bank balance will be like this." This is the demonic mentality. We shall require money, yāvad artha-prayojanam. Whatever is absolutely necessary, that much money I must get. That is order.
That is an order. We cannot take more than what is necessary. This is actually spiritual communism. If everyone thinks that "Everything belongs to God, and I am son of God, so I have got right to enjoy the property of my Father, but as much as I require, not more than that," this is spiritual communism, bhāgavata communism. That is stated there in the Seventh Canto by instruction by Nārada Muni: gṛhastha, householder, or anyone.
By nature, you'll see, if you throw one bag of food grains anywhere, so many birds will come. But as soon as their belly is filled up they will go away. They will not take more than that for tomorrow. Sañcaya.
[Accumulation] That is nature. They know, "Tomorrow we shall get again somewhere grains. There is no need of stocking." This is nature, you'll find amongst animal kingdom. Similarly, we should also learn that Kṛṣṇa has given us this belly, so He has provided also the eatables.
That is real philosophy. It is not recommended that you get more than what you require. No. Yāvad artha-prayojanam, especially for Kṛṣṇa conscious persons.
Everyone has got right to claim what is absolutely required. In the Bhāgavata, it is stated if anyone takes more than that, then he's a thief and he's punishable. Īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam [Īśo mantra 1]: everything is God's property. Either on this land or in the sky or in the water, everything is God's property. And Kṛṣṇa claims also, bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ sarva-loka-maheśvaram, suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānām [Bg 5.29].
