Sadhana is wealth that will stay with you forever (Sa-Dhan). This is absolutely true, however, many people in the name of spirituality seem to have developed an allergy to material wealth.
Material wealth will not guarantee happiness, that comes through Sadhana and Seva. But this doesn't mean that rich people are not or cannot be spiritual. Many feel that people who are spiritual should wear torn clothes and travel in unreserved compartments on trains or preferably walk. If material poverty is a sign of Spirituality, then there are millions around the globe who are deeply spiritual :)
In the Indian tradition, Narayana the God of Knowledge, the Guru, is married to Laxmi, the Goddess of Wealth. So where there is Spirituality, Sadhana and Seva, abundance will come naturally, almost effortlessly. Spirituality and Materialism go hand in hand, infact are married to each other. Don't divorce them.
Your spiritual practices will bring you peace and happiness. Your material wealth will bring you comfort. If there has to be a choice, definitely choose happiness over comfort. Many don't. They remain comfortably miserable. But the best is to have both.
May you have Narayana and Laxmi reign in your life!
Jai Gurudeva!
