Quotes By Devamrita Swami

Spiritual accounting is the consideration of not just fiscal gain and loss, as mainstream accounting does, but also of all the factors of human life and its impact: physical, mental, ecological, and certainly spiritual. Spiritual accounting means: “Let’s wise up—we must see the whole balance sheet of human existence, not just the dollars and cents.” When seen in this way, our so-called economic development may actually be uneconomic, when all the ecological, health, and spiritual costs and damages are tabulated. Accounting, so much at the heart of our current attempt at civilization, can actually become real accounting by consideration of all the aspects of our life, rather than giving us merely a distorted report of just financial profit and loss.
