Summary

This quote suggests that there is a societal dichotomy in how wealth and poverty are regarded. According to the eyes of God, wealth is viewed as a great sin, possibly because it can lead to materialism and greed, which can divert one's focus from spiritual values. On the other hand, in the eyes of humankind, poverty is seen as a great sin because it often implies suffering, inequality, and lack of basic necessities. This quote highlights the contrasting perspectives on wealth and poverty, and raises questions about our prioritization of material wealth over compassion and empathy.
