Spiritual Wealth

 

I strongly believe that every citizen of this country must take up a cause. This is the only way we are going to wake up to those around us and their needs. Not only that, we also start waking up to our own abundance which, sadly, we don't ever understand because we are always looking to acquire the trivia we don't possess because someone ekse has it.

If we can just do this exercise : put down what we have on one side and what we want on the other . Just examine how many things that we want are really worth desiring. And examine the worth of what we already have.

Strangely enough, we never ask for : god, give me more goodness, more generosity, more compassion for those around me. Or, please help me be honest and simple in my relationships.

We ask for more of what money can buy. More power. More fame. People lining up to praise you to the skies for what you possess. Gautam Buddha left all the pomp and glory , and years later, emerged as the most glorious of humans.

The moral : Only in letting go do we find spiritual wealth and glory.

Abundance

It is amazing that many of us don't know how to live in the moment right now! In the present moment either we are reminiscing about what has already happened or planning for what we will do next.

My feeling is, we are restless living within structures of brick and mortar or whatever the current advanced technology may be. The soul craves a natural habitat to become peaceful.

In order to feel connected, we need to be amongst nature. To feel the beauty of the present moment, we need to feel the green grass under our feet, a gentle breeze on our faces, the sun energizing our spirit and all the elements enveloping us in their embrace.

When we say things happen to us, it is true provided we are receptive to the Universe and egoless, in awe of the majesty of creation. How else would the Universe help?

We are strange creatures. We love to pray for abundance but block it ourselves. We want happiness but do everything in our power to become harbingers of unhappiness due to our own misdeeds.

And the crowning glory!!! If anyone points this out, God help that person!! We have amassed all the tools of disquieting our minds ourselves. We don't have to look far.
