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.
