Sri Ramakrishna considering money worthless:
Meditation:
I meditate on Sri Ramakrishna considering money as worthless as earth in the path of God-realization and throwing them both in river Ganga.

Sri Ramakrishna considering money worthless:
Events:
Ref: Sri Ramakrishna the Great Master - Part 2 - Ch 6: Renouncing both mentally and physically: Sri Ramakrishna was not satisfied by merely renouncing the obstacles to God-realization mentally, but he undertook practices to discard them physically also as far as possible. He compelled his body and senses to act contrary to their natural inclinations thus destroying their past impressions. His body and mind thus became a fit instrument to be wholly directed to God and call on the Divine with a whole heart.
Considering money as worthless as earth in the path of God-realization: Thus in order to destroy attachment to wealth and its consequent bodily enjoyments, and completely turn towards God, he took in one hand a few coins and in other hand a clod of earth and repeating - "Rupee - Earth, Earth - Rupee" over and over again, finally threw them both in river Ganga.
