Understanding Money

I was telling the Lord Ayyappa story to my daughter.

In this story there was a King called Rajashekara and his Diwan. The Diwan was the second most powerful person in the country. But he somehow wanted to become the King. Since the King didnt have any children, the Diwan thought he would become King after Rajashekara. Meanwhile Rajashekara finds a baby in the jungle which happens to be lord Ayyapa in future. The Diwan and the king's wife plan to kill the child by sending him to the forest to bring Tiger milk. But Lord Ayyapa returns with Tiger milk. Diwan suffers for his mistakes but ultimately realizes his mistakes and gets forgiveness from Lord Ayyappa.My daughter liked the story and when I finished the story she asked me a doubt and I was taken by surprise.

" Ma. Since the Diwan is second to the King will he also have lot of money, bunglow, car etc?"

I told yes certainly he will also have.

So my daughter asked " Then he can live happily know. Why he has to bother who the King is? Let anyone be the King, He can live happily with all the money and bunglow and be in second rank itself know Ma"

For a moment I was confused on how to guide her. I was not sure whether I had to tell, always you should aim for the first position or whether I should tell, yes you should be satisfied with what money you have and live peacefully. But finally, I guided her tellling, she has to aim for the first position, but that should not affect anyone and the approach should not be negative. And in case of money, one should be content with what ever one has and should not be greedy..

Hope I was right :)
