The viewpoint which some Western scholars and their Indian counterparts spread among people that Aryans of Rig-vedic era were not focused on having material pleasures, and that they had only spiritual attainments, is wrong. Aryans used to perform prayers for getting material benefits as well.
Money flow follows three routes :
- Bhog - For Material pleasures
- Naash - loss of money due to state,thieves or robbery
- Daan - charity to the needy
Artha is not just wealth ,but it includes all material benefits and happiness enjoyed by us. Artha is second among the four purushaarthas in life.Money should be spent to enjoy pleasures in life and it has to be donated to the needy as well.
