In the vicinity of a small establishment there lived a gentle and most spiritual family in my neighbourhood, where people knew each other by name or face. They used to hold devotional flames, which they thought to be their life’s romance. They were humble people and were living much below their means. Their limping efforts and sundry attempts pointed to their efforts for gaining enough money to enable them to lead a comfortable life. The calamity of their life was not that they deviated from the spiritual path, but they ceased to love simple and spiritual life.
They started believing in miracles and wanted a sudden twist in their existence. Ultimately God fulfilled their desire and instead of giving a drop, gave them an ocean, and they became the genitors of their possession. It became difficult for them to keep it safe from thieves and burglars. They were in a fix how to make the right use of it. Thus their possession became a constant source of pain and pleasure. A solid fear resided in their mind for not losing their possession. Getting wealth all of a sudden and losing it suddenly give people a heart-break, which is difficult to sustain.
Their dawns became sadder than ever and they felt embarrassed. They realized them weird’s who got consolation in the company of other compatible weird’s. They started with a smile but ended with teardrops. Their thoughts fell apart and their desire of acquiring wealth started troubling them. Things started looking bleak, terrifying and tragic. The family members realized that money is not the only thing to make them happy because it has wings, and when it flies away people lie low and finally comprehend what loss means.
If instead of getting money by luck we may obtain it by efforts then great miracles and wonderful treasures are in store for us. The trifles are not going to hinder us and the trials would definitely end in success. In that case we can believe in hitting big and missing big, but it is only possible if the right amounts of efforts are made. We should not remain fixed up and follow others blindly because our minds are like diapers and need occasional changes. Our simple desire to have money is useless unless we know how to make the best use of it, and after knowing the meaningful answer the chances of losing it lessens. We must think twice before collecting more wealth, that after death which is certain, the rich have no money and the poor have no debt.
It so happened that once the landlady while going to the market saw three saints with saffron cloaks and staffs standing before the main gate of their house. “Are you waiting for somebody,” she asked. “We have come to meet the master of the house,” one of them replied. “Do you know him?” “No. He is a nice guy, and we are here to bless him.” She became courteous thinking that they might get the reward of their reverence to god. “Presently my husband is not in the house, but you can wait for him inside. I will serve you tea and snacks to push away time.” “ We cannot come in. We shall come to meet him at another time, “one of them told her. “It is up to you, if you are in a hurry.” “Thanks for your generosity, we shall meet him shortly.”
They moved back and after two to three minutes her husband entered the house. The lady told him about the saints who came to bless him, and after listening to it he became restless. “How long have they gone?”He asked. “Only three minutes earlier,” she replied. “You may go and call them? Tell them your husband has come back.” She went in search of them and luckily they were crossing to the side lane. She called them and they turned back to talk to her. “My husband has come back and you can meet him, if you so desire,” she told them. They accompanied the lady and reached her house. She opened the door and asked them politely to have their seats inside the room. They preferred to sit on the chairs which were spread in the outer compound.
“Let me introduce us to you. We are three persons, my name is Love and the person standing to my right is Wealth and the other one to my left is Success.” “Nice names.” “Thank you. You may consult your husband and tell us to which one he would like to meet first.” The lady went in and told everything to her husband. “In my opinion we may call Wealth to lord over the world.” “I disagree. If we may call Success, we will be having name and fame. So instead of Wealth we may call Success.” Their conversation was within the ear shot of their daughter-in-law, who jumped in with her own suggestion.
“Dad, Will it not be realistic to invite Love, our house will be filled with tender feelings of affection and there will be serenity in the house.” “I fully agree with you. We must heed to your advice and call Love. He told his wife to go and ask Love to come in. The lady went out and asked,” who is Love amongst you. The master of the house has invited him to stay with him.” “I am Love.” The man got up and followed the lady to get in. The other two also got up to go with him. The lady told them about their invitation to Love and the other two can stay back. “Madam, if you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two would have stayed behind, but you have invited Love and wherever she goes we follow her.
So wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success. Let us generate Love if we want Wealth and Success.
