DO YOU HAVE THE EYES TO SEE WEALTH?

What if you are already surrounded by enormous wealth—but have been
conditioned not to recognize it? One quiet morning after the rain, Dr.
Abhishek Gilara stepped into his veranda and saw three Alba Plumeria trees
covered with white flowers. The flowers scattered across the green garden
looked to him as though pieces of the moon had fallen to earth. For a few
moments, he experienced pure happiness. And a simple question arose: If
wealth is ultimately pursued to bring happiness, peace and wellbeing, then
wasn’t what he was experiencing also wealth? That question opens a much
larger inquiry. We have been taught how to earn money—but who taught us
how to recognize wealth? We calculate bank balances, property, businesses,
jewellery and investments.
But where do we record health, time, energy, sleep, family, peace, character, sunlight, fresh air, movement, knowledge
and the ability to wake up excited about another day? In DO YOU HAVE THE EYES TO SEE WEALTH?,
Dr. Abhishek Gilara challenges our conventional definitions of both wealth and work. He argues that real work is
not confined to offices and businesses. Waking on time, sleeping correctly, exercising, caring for the body,
controlling the mind, protecting attention, nurturing relationships and performing one’s karma according to dharma
are also forms of work—and their returns may be more valuable than money. This is not a book against ambition or
material prosperity. It is an invitation to become richer in every dimension of life. Earn more—but see more. Build
more—but appreciate more. Own more—but never lose the ability to enjoy what you do not own. Work hard—but
do not become poor in health, peace and relationships while becoming rich financially. Nature has already opened
the world’s richest bank. Its deposits are everywhere. The question is not whether wealth exists. The question is
whether you have developed the eyes to see it.
