Guest guest Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Sai Ram! Diwali Gift – “Motor Your Mind” Towards SAI Cheers to all for the Diwali “festival of Lights”. We normally find that most people buy Gold and worship God / Goddess for wealth ( money) during this time . Some even spend lot of wealth on selfish pomp and show ( like ostentatious decorations and big firecrackers) for personal gratification and perform rituals asking for more wealth fm “Goddess Lakshmi”. Baba has repeatedly pointed out that ‘Human Body is very rare to obtain’ and only by cultivating proper wisdom in Human Birth can we cross the repeated birth-death cycles’(pls read “My Baba & I – By Dr,. Hislop” for more details) But the moot point is : · even though all this may give temporary happiness, is the precious human birth being used productively? · Have you ever thought of what use is this ostentation and show of wealth ? Compae your wealth to the automobile that you drive everyday. When you are at the wheel, you have two options: · You can either drive without direction or, · you can drive steadily to the temple and derive long-lasting happiness New Roman">. The decision is yours. So are the effects. You are the master of your destiny. You may choose to amass wealth and use it for inferior means of consumption or decide to use your resources to serve humanity and therefore, TEXT-DECORATION: none; text-underline: none">Lord Krishna. Amassing wealth is like wanting Lakshmi to be with you always. Lakshmi's natural inclination is to be with text-underline: none">Narayana, the Supreme. So, in a way, your wealth wants to be with Narayana. So … we should use our wealth for His service ! Additionaly, all of us should realize … ALWAYS … in ALL Ways, that whatever we are doing to create wealth is temporary by nature ! Why ? Since our temporal activities are ephemeral - not permanent; as nothing can be taken out from this material world! As simple as that. But still, many people run after money in the wrong way - being fatally drawn to maya, or the illusory energy that binds us. So worship your wealth as God … but don’t worhip God for wealth! Ram Ram RAM RAM Thank you & God bless.
