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 else 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.
