Money is 'gross' and hence it can be exchanged with only the gross objects of the world. Subtle objects, such as 'love' and 'knowledge', are beyond the reach of money. We may buy the most expensive painting of sunset, but can it give us the joy of seeing a real sunset? The flowing water of a river can teach us to be selfless in a way, even the most expensive book on philosophy cannot.
Is money worthless? Not at all. It is required - to fulfil physical needs. And, it should not be given any more exaggerated value. However, when we carefully share it with those who are struggling to make their both ends meet, we get in return the joy that cannot come from spending the same upon ourselves. This, when done without arrogance, make the money more than its worth.
