The greater your riches, the further you are from them.

When you only have a little money, you can keep it on your person.

When you acquire more, you must keep it in a locked box. It is then more distant from you.

When you acquire still more, then you must keep it in the bank. It is yet further from you.

Acquire still more, your wealth and investments are scattered in other cities and faraway places…

This is true of the worldly.

But with Torah and Mitzvos, the more you have, the closer they are to you.

~ R’ Nachman of Breslov zt”l (1772-1810)
