Money is very important in to-day's world,but only to the extent of giving physical comfort.And,what about mental comfort?That depends on your attitude.What attitude?It means how you look at money.If you are looking at money to buy your real mental or inner happiness, then the answer is a plain 'NO'Money can never give you 'real' happiness consistentely.
A friend,once asked me....."Manohar why don't you have money?"I counter questioned my friend...."Why did'nt Jesus had money?"My friend could not answer that.However, he had money in another form.He had spiritualism,he had wisdom,he had goodness,which more than made up money.He was supremely contented and blissful.Mind you friends, I am not using the word 'Happiness' here,because "Happiness' is a misnomer;real happiness is bliss,contentment and joy.Tell me,whether any rich man is completely happy,contented,blissful or joyous to-day as was Jesus Christ.And, do you know what's the reason for this unhappiness?.............THE LAW OF CAUSE & EFFECT.What's that?
Nothing happens without a cause.If you do wrong, its bound to come back to you as a negative reaction and you will pay for it.If you do good, then it is bound to rebound positively and you will get paid for it in abundant goodness.But what happens now?A rich man, on his way to accumulate wealth does something not in tune with this law,and he gets paid for it for his wrong doings.That is why he is not always happy or contented.So the ideal combination for a man is to have lots of money and at the same time to be spiritualistic.But being spiritual is more important than to have money.
Once a farmer asked Jesus........."Why there is not enough harvest?"And Jesus answered......"The land is plenty,but the tillers are few."
So money and spiritualism are both needed.But, if a man has no money,then at least he should have spiritualism for him to remain happy and contented.So, the importance of money is always there;but one cannot overlook the importance of spiritualism!
So, what is spiritualsim?There are only two kinds of people in the world.....The business class & working or service class, there is no third type of people.The business class are almost always rich class and the service class are almost always poor class.Both of these types live in a world of their own.
But the service class are more god-fearing than the business class.For the business class, MONEY is their GOD; for the service class,FAITH or BELIEF is their GOD.Both believe that their 'GOD' is bigger than each other.But the service folks are at an advantage here.For them their 'GOD' is their conscience and hence spiritualism is born faster in these people than the other so called business class.Only one in a million persons of a rich or business class can be termed as spiritualist!
Guatama Buddha was one of the rare spiritual soul,who was born into a rich family of kings.Yet, he knew the full meaning of spiritualism.He knew the distinction between poverty & richness,between fear & courage,between freedon & responsibility,right & wrong,heart & head.
So, friends,spiritualism has a very wide meaning.Its all about calmness,softness,honesty,integrity,righteousness,joy,happines,wholeness,oneness.Evenif, one of the top written virtues are missing in a person,he can never be called a spiritualist.
Hence the secret to spiritualism lies in being almost always poor in money, but rich in the above declared virtues!
ARE YOU READY FOR SPIRITUALISM?
