Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 People generally envy the rich. Some devotees also falls prey to this habit. But Saibaba tells us not to envy anybody including the rich. In fact 'envy and hatred' are the two pests that eat the goodness in a human being. Why should we feel jealous about any? Each earns according to their previous 'karmas' in their past lives. For instance, if you have given for charity in the previous lives, you receive wealth according to the proportion. Saibaba says, 'I do not receive any thing from anybody. It is "Masudi Mayi' who asks for the debt, a person owe. I only take from him, whom the masudi ayi indicates. See if i receive something from somebody, i have to return it manifolds. Charity in fact cultivate sacrifice in us. Whenever we give any thing to anybody, we slowly cultivate sacrifice and detachment. Hence greed and miserliness must be eschewed from our consciousness. Thus our progress in spiritual path become rapid. Sairam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
