What is the true meaning of wealth? This life coach has the answer

Gaur Gopal Das, a life coach and motivational speaker — also a former engineer — talks about the meaning of life and sheds light on things without which our lives are incomplete.

“Hope, love, respect, dignity, character, integrity and acceptance — wealth is a very broad term. Money is not wealth. Money is a part of wealth,” he says.

Remembering the time when he had to take care of one his friends, he says the experience changed his thought process. “I was lying in a monastery, in an ashram, on the wooden floor, exhausted, tired from the anxiety of last night and suddenly a fellow monk came up to me and woke me up saying ‘He’s leaving, he’s leaving’. I got up and gathering myself together, rushed to go to the room where my dear friend, Stoka Krishna Das, was leaving his body,” he recalls.
