All Family Members Shouldn’t become Earning Animals

If there are two brothers at home and both are involved in earning money, then it wouldn’t be right. If one of the brothers earns money and the other works for religion, then this is the right model to follow. If both brothers have become earning animals and want to earn more and more, that's wrong. Even if you are alone at home, you must divide your time into two. 50% of your time should be spent on earning and the rest 50% time you should give to religion.
