sire　for　riches　is　simply　the　capacity　for　larger　life　seeking　fulfillment。　Every　desire　is　the　effort　of　an　unexpressed　possibility　to　e　into　action。

It　is　the　desire　of　God　that　you　should　get　rich。　He　wants　you　to　get　rich　because　he　can　express　himself　better　through　you　if　you　have　plenty　of　things　to　use　in　giving　him　expression。　He　can　live　more　in　you　if　you　have　unlimited　mand　of　the　means　of　life。

You　must　want　real　life；　not　mere　pleasure　or　sensual　gratification。　Life　is　the　performance　of　function；　and　the　individual　really　lives　only　when　he　performs　every　function—physical；　mental；　and　spiritual—of　which　he　is　capable；　without　excess　in　any。

You　do　not　want　to　get　rich　in　order　to　live　swinishly；　for　the　gratification　of　animal　desires。　That　is　not　life。　But　the　performance　of　every　physical　function　is　a　part　of　life；　and　no　one　lives　pletely　who　denies　the　impulses　of　the　body　a　normal　and　healthful　expression。

You　do　not　want　to　get　rich　solely　to　enjoy　mental　pleasures；　to　get　knowledge；　to　gratify　ambition；　to　outshine　others；　to　be　famous。　All　these　are　a　legitimate　part　of　life；　but　the　person　who　lives　for　the　pleasures　of　the　intellect　alone　will　only　have　a　partial　life；　and　he　will　never　be　satisfied　with　his　lot。

You　do　not　want　to　get　rich　solely　for　the　good　of　others；　to　lose　yourself　for　the　salvation　of　mankind；　to　experience　the　joys　of　philanthropy　and　sacrifice。　The　joys　of　the　soul　are　only　a　part　of　life；　and　they　are　no　better　or　nobler　than　any　other　part。

You　want　to　get　rich　in　order　that　you　may　eat；　drink；　and　be　merry　when　it　is　time　to　do　these　things；　in　order　that　you　may　surround　yourself　with　beautiful　things；　see　distant　lands；　feed　your　mind；　and　develop　your　intellect；　in　order
