GUIDES OF SOULS
The expression "Standard of
Living" is not properly translated. It is concerned with higher
ideals.
Living with good qualities and devotion to God will denote our standard of living.
What we call as standard of living should only be attributed to the quality of our life and ways or fashions of living it. Now people refer to increase of economic standard alone as of standard of living. It is a wrong idea. Growing by the mind and improving its standard should be our aim in increasing the standard of living.
