Why should God be available for cheap? – Part 1
Sitting on the cushioned seat we wouldn’t be thinking about innovative ideas to meet our quarterly targets if we had bleeding piles. Or we wouldn’t be fighting with our wife just because she doesn’t have a good relationship with her in laws, if we had a tumour in our head. We usually take our health for granted, and ignore all those good things God has blessed us with. We crib about most things in life, and keep aspiring for more & more from God. And in return we either break few coconuts or give away our hair! What on earth would God do with our hair?!!
I had this query in my mind for long that why all rich people get to see God & Godmen easily when compared to the poor. You would notice all the millionaires lined up in the front row to have darshans of Satya Sai Baba, Shiva Shankar Baba, Melmaruvathur Amma, Mata Amrityanandamayee. And also there are special queues & special charges to see Tirupathi Balaji faster without standing in long queues for hours together. Is God more courteous to the riches? Yes, he is. And why shouldn’t he be so?
Richness & poverty is a state of mind. A person moving in an air conditioned Benz Car would have more debt than the person who drives an auto rikshaw. Richness is in what a person does with his money and how he brings changes in others’ lives - and not about how much bank balance a person has.
In my personal experience, I have seen rich people better human beings than the poor people. I am just not talking about people who have more money in their wallet I am talking about people who take out more money to spend. It is not that poor people don’t have money - they indeed have. Just that they spend them in all the wrong ways. To be honest even I wouldn’t afford to drink a quarter of brandy everyday like a mason does.
God is good to people who are richer at heart, and people who are richer at heart have all the comforts of the world, and to get all the comforts they are blessed with more money. That is what is called ‘Raj Yogas’ in astrological terms.
Hence the simple truth is – if you are good you make more money, and when you have money don’t hanker for more just spend more on good things, and you will be blessed with plenty.
