Self Interest

Secret Of Abundance

In the Bible there is a saying that, “Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.”

In our day-to-day life we observe that, generally this is true. Money attracts more money.  God seems to be unjust. It doesn’t distribute the wealth equally.

But if we look at the deeper meaning of this sentence from Bible, it tells us a different story.

The real meaning is – one who has no complaints, feels that he has everything and is generally happy and grateful; will keep getting more and more.

And one who is always complaining, feels that he has nothing, and is generally unhappy and un-grateful will keep loosing whatever is available with him.

Now, why this is so?

God is all permeating infinite consciousness. It is formless and nameless infinite, intelligent energy which expresses itself through millions of forms, living and non-living.  All the living and non-living things are like bubbles in this infinite Ocean of consciousness.

This Ocean has infinite power and wealth in it and it can give whatever is required and desired by anyone.

Now, if any bubble in the Ocean starts complaining and feeling that it has nothing, then the bubble is not recognizing that it is part of the Ocean. The bubble has created a wall of separateness between itself and the Ocean. The Ocean has infinite wealth inside, but it can not give it to the bubble because of this wall.

On the contrary, when the bubble feels that it has everything, feels completeness, feels grateful for everything; the wall separating the bubble from the Ocean gets broken. Bubble becomes a part of the Ocean. Now all the wealth of the Ocean belongs to the bubble. Abundance will dawn in the life of the bubble.

Our old people also knew this secret. They used to say there are ‘Astu Devatas’ everywhere and they will bless everything you say. If you say “I am no good” then those ‘Devatas’ will say “Tathastu (So be it)”. If you say “I don’t have any thing” then they will say “Tathastu”.  If you say “I have everything” then they will bless you with everything.

So be grateful for everything and abundance will dawn in your life.
