MONEY MATTERS
YOU WANT THE KIND OF WEALTH THAT WILL MAKE FOR A BETTER LIFE FOR YOU AND AND YOUR LOVED ONES
Money, a creation by GOD’s most beautiful creation — man. Many a time, it is rightly said, “Creation is more powerful than the Creator”. As per Indian culture, money is not considered just a piece of paper, but, a form of Goddess Lakshmi, and thus money is given sacred importance.
As a story goes, once upon a time, a ‘piece of paper’ and a ‘money note’ were having a conversation; the piece of paper said, we both are a piece of paper what is the difference between us? Money replied, “I am a piece of paper that has never seen a dustbin”.
When you buy anythingclothes, a laptop, mobile phones, we are provided with a user manual. “Dry clean only” or “keep away from heat and flame”. A manual to make correct use of the product, which leads to longevity and better efficiency. Have we ever thought about how we purchased the product in the first place? We often show the love for all that we buy — the best car, latest gadgets, a wonderful home—but how many times have we sat down and showed gratitude to money? Our universe is governed by innumerable laws and we follow them because it makes our lives less cumbersome and more aligned to the society we stay in. Thus, there have to be some laws to define the flow of the most desired thingamajig on this planet— MONEY! That’s why we see that the few who follow these laws get abundance, because wealth doesn’t understand good or bad—it just understands the laws!
LET US DISCUSS OF SOME LAWS IN BRIEF money from spirituality, but who is Lakshmi married to? Lord Vishnu. We often have this conditioning “materialistic people cannot be spiritual”. Can an empty pocket do charity? Even if you want to gift one chocolate to a kid, you require money. Thus, treat money with lot of respect.
SHOW LOVE TO MONEY Keep it properly in your wallet, count it every night before you sleep and say “I love you” to it in the morning. As Einstein said, “Everything is energy”. In the same way, the financial energy also expects love in return.
IN GIVING, WE RECEIVE What is the 3rd of Law of Newton? To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The more you give, the more you receive. If you try to hold on to money, it will find its way to flow out. Money loves circulation, it is the simplest way to generate tremendous abundance.
THE EFFORTLESS MIRACLE
What is it, without which our survival is impossible even for a minute? Our breath! But, does it require any effort? It is effortless! When we do our work effortlessly, it starts to manifest, thus, we end up calling them miracles. We feel we didn’t put much effort into it and hence, never expect it to happen. But most of the time, ‘smart’ work pays off better than ‘hard’ work.
REMOVE THE NEGATIVE CONDITIONING people who do everything possible yet cannot manifest the right abundance, I find subconscious blockages in them related to money. They are often conditioned in childhood to think as if — “money is the root cause of all evil”, “you cannot earn money till you do some illegal stuff”, “money spoils relationships” etc. The sub-conscious mind, which is 6,000 times more powerful than your conscious, will it ever let you earn the desired money? You want the kind of wealth that will make for a better life for you and for those that you love. Be grateful for whatever you have, even if it’s very little. When you express gratitude and count your blessings, it opens the window to abundance. And then it opens up opportunities for you!
