Perhaps you are not aware that this store of black gold is limited and it is just a question of few decades that the oil wells are going to run dry. What do you think will happen then? Isn’t it also interesting that the timeline when Islam and Christianity were on ascendancy is known as the dark ages of mankind. As to wealth, how is that a sign of God’s favour? It is, as the Bible says, a sign of curse. Ravana had all the Kubera’s wealth with him but it didn’t help him become a better person. He died a disdainful death whereas Rama who walked away from his kingdom is worshipped as a god. Whom did the gods favour then? With the emergence of the New Age of Truth, we can already see that the falsehood of Islam is getting exposed through the world and many Moslems are leaving Islam already. On the other hand the sun of Sanatan Dharma is rising and drawing many from across the globe. All these are indicators that the Spirit of Time is changing and a new Age is dawning upon mankind.
Actually our values are all topsy turvy. Outer wealth with a crude nature is like crown on a pig’s head. It doesn’t make the pig happier or better and blessed. On the other hand a sage even in rags is revered and emulated. It is man who has made goddess lakshmi a giver of material prosperity. In truth She is the goddess of inner prosperity, the giver of inner qualities, the wealth of inner riches such as joy, harmony, beauty, love etc.
