Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Ana, glad you didn't take offence though I wasn't sure if you realize what I was trying to specifically express. You're indeed a good mother, wife and daughter to your mom in the Philippines. You're doing dharma and seva by contributing to charity and in the future adopt a child from 3rd world nation too. 16,17 & 21 mukhs will help you achieve success but money gained must be shared with or donated to charity, then the flow of money continues round the cycle. You're right, everything costs money in samsara Fully understand the daily stress you go thru, having to juggle so much! Thanks for sharing a part of your life, aspirations and future hopes. Privileged to know, bless you. If only there are more folks like you around the world, there would be less suffering. 1000-fold blessings Ommmmmm , "ana_raguin" <ana_raguin wrote: > > Hi there. > > First of all, when you mentioned that I am engrossed in Samasara, I > did not even know what Samsara meant :-) > > So, I was not bothered at all. :-) > > I admire people like you who chose to give up material things and > yet live life to the fullest. > > Living in London, wherein standard of living is very high and there > are a lot of crimes because of money, I think it is maternal instict > to just try to secure your kids future in all aspects.
