Money, Spirituality, and an Old Man: A Life-Changing Encounter

Money, Spirituality, and an Old Man: A Life-Changing Encounter | DIOTALK EPISODE #223

At just 12 years old, his first job was delivering newspapers in England. While most kids would spend their earnings, he found himself fascinated—not with spending money, but with the act of earning it. Years later, that curiosity about money intersected with a deeper journey into spirituality.

On a trip to India, he decided he wanted to donate everything he had saved. His uncle took him to a temple, where he met a frail old man in his nineties whose eyes radiated with light. When asked about where to donate, the old man gave him a test:

“If you were to give me that money—and you knew I was going to throw it down the well—would you still give it to me?”

Without hesitation, he answered yes. The old man smiled and said, “That’s the correct answer.”

That moment became a turning point. The old man began to guide him, sharing lessons and even gifting him a book that would shape his life: Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich.”

For the next 20–30 years, he lived by affirmations, applying the wisdom he had learned—and watching many of his visions manifest.

This story is more than about money. It’s about detachment, faith, and the power of guidance that can transform a life.
