The Vedas, ancient scriptures of Hinduism, encompass a wide
range of topics including spirituality, ethics, rituals, and more. While they
primarily focus on spiritual enlightenment and moral values, there are also
verses that touch upon acquiring wealth or prosperity. Here are a few quotes
from the Vedas related to wealth:
May we be blessed with abundance, may we be granted
wealth in its fullest measure. - Rigveda 1.77.1
Let us acquire that excellent glory of the deity, let
us enjoy that supreme splendor, like treasure, in the kingdom of God. -
Atharvaveda 4.29.2
May we find prosperity in the wealth of cattle, may
the god who gives food bestow upon us all manner of food. - Yajurveda
27.47
Riches wax abundant in the home of him who knows the
sacrifice, and those who know it not obtain no share thereof. - Rigveda
1.1.9
May the god of wealth, who resides in the firmament,
shower upon us the divine treasures of prosperity. - Atharvaveda 4.7.8
These verses reflect the ancient Indian perspective on wealth, often associating it with divine blessings and the fulfillment of one's duties and responsibilities.
