TIme

I have seen that money gives power and allows me to achieve the wishes or impulses. On the other hand when I have no money, I see clearly What universe wants to be done through me and When. Without money I cannot accelerate things or bring to action whatever I wish.

Not having money therefore allows me to see a clear filter and a training to understand and separate the sources of various impulses for action - those that come from the level of the ego and those that come from an action sought by the Universe. Further I need to train and look for clues to understand  the Timing of such Action and to Wait for the moment to act.

CHing 34 has something very amazing to say about this.
"The hexagram points to a time when inner worth mounts with great force 
and comes to power. But its strength has already passed beyond the median 
line, hence there is danger that one may rely entirely on one's own power 
and forget to ask what is right. There is danger too that, being intent on 
movement, we may not wait for the right time. Therefore the added 
statement that perseverance furthers. For that is truly great power which does 
not degenerate into mere force but remains inwardly united with the 
fundamental principles of right and of justice. When we understand this 
point—namely, that greatness and justice must be indissolubly united—we 
understand the true meaning of all that happens in heaven and on earth."
