We are living in - you might say swimming in- a culture that has become so oriented around the physical, and around money as an exclusive measure of one's worth, that the conversation is rarely had. Our virtually exclusive acceptance of money as equivalent to self worth is inconsistent with a yogic understanding of life, and it is useful to break up this mindset. I especially enjoy finding examples of this 'breaking up' in action.
Since much of the practice of yoga is a 'freeing up' of this attachment, something we strive to do in the way we begin to relate to our physical body, as well as in the manner in which we start to use our mind to focus our attention.
I recently ran across these two guys - Graham and Graeme - talking about money and 'status'. Its a podcast that you can download for free. You can also read about it here.
Along the way towards making changes to bring the usefulness and power of a yogic perspective into your life you will likely begin to think through issues around money and status, so as to deconstruct this relationshio for yourself. I think you'll find this podcast useful.
