"Goddess Lakshmi sits on a lotus flower. Meaning that wealth and prosperity can be very fleeting. Any moment they could sink! Also the lotus signifies a fully blossomed consciousness and that only such a person is really capable of handling wealth effectively. The finances of a country (or a family for that matter) need to be managed by extremely capable hands, other wise, the wealth (and the country) could go under very fast… (America… You listening to this?! :))"
Diwali is coming and most Hindus around the world will be praying to Goddess Lakshmi on this day, much needed at this time...the world is going through an economic crisis.
At times like this one realizes that all those things that we find support and security in, money, home, job...are so flaky! Any moment they can go poof! Even our very life...there is no guarantee it will be there the next moment. So what is one to find security and solace in?
Most of our lives we use the help of so many walking sticks - we take the support of our bank balance, of a relationship, of our career, we constantly look outside to fulfill some need, physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. When all our supports come crashing down what happens? So what is one to find security and solace in?
Most of our lives we are facing one or more problems in the following categories: children and/or parent related, health related, or finance/prosperity/job related. We look to God for support, we ask Him to relieve us from these problems, to bless us so we don't have to go through them. And we keep going through this infinite loop all our lives...or multiple lives, never really thinking about our existence out-of-the-box. What is the meaning of our existence? Why am I here? Or who am I?
Ever wondered if there are...and who are those who blossomed souls, like the lotus...The lotus has it's roots in muddy waters signifying the world, yet it rises and blossoms above it. What do those souls find support in, solace in...Most people work on the outside and let it project inside, few work on the inside and project that on the outside...
"3 things that you should ask of a Guru are Unshakable Faith, Unwavering Devotion and Liberation! Everything else will anyways come to you when the time is ripe…"
"Yeh choti si zindagi mein kya?(what will you do in this short lifetime). Leave everything it will all come chasing you. There is nothing you will not have..."
