You can desire to be rich, but instead of thinking about how you'll use this wealth for your sole satisfaction, rather help those in need

"It is not bad to wish for the realization of your desires, provided you never neglect the moral side of the question. You can desire to be rich, but instead of thinking about how you will use this wealth for your sole satisfaction, rather think about the way you will help those in need. You can desire beauty, but not that beauty which shatters hearts and leads people to despair or crime: concentrate on the beauty which inspires spiritual thoughts and feelings, which frees human beings, releases them from hell and projects them towards heaven.
The trouble with human beings is that they fail to consider morality in their projects. Even when they enter a spiritual teaching, they continue to look for material success that will satisfy their covetousness. Well, no: in a spiritual teaching one learns to give priority to morality."
