Giving up riches is not the command, but putting it at the service of the needs of others is. Riches are usually expressed as the accumulation of money or equal goods. Money symbolizes the fruit of human effort. It can allow us to do w things that cannot be bought with it, like for example give us freedom. Liberty and independence to make earnings everyday is the biggest luxury one can aspire to.
