The word Dhanam (wealth) means any valued possession, an object of
affection. It does not merely mean riches and precious metals. The most
valued possession of human beings is Self-Knowledge. Arjuna earned this,
and hence was called ‘Dhananjaya’. Anyone can earn riches or money –
even crooks, dacoits and pirates amass money. True wealth, worthy of
deposits in the Divine Bank, is earned only by those who struggle to be
virtuous, detached, humble and holy. Do not underestimate the value of
this deposit. Your meritorious noble deeds, your purity, the selfless
love that you manifest with your fellow beings – bring to God these
precious commodities and He will readily accept them as deposits to your
credit.
