Start inviting abundance into your life
Everybody wants to live an
abundant life; A life with no scarcity.
Still, a majority of people live
in a mindset of insufficiency. They start their day by thinking what is lacking
in life. When they worship God, they have a list of demands. When they talk to
their friends and relatives, they talk about their desires. Such people can
never get happiness until all their desires are fulfilled. They crave for the
worldly materials all the time.
According to Lord Buddha, such
craving is the reason behind human sorrows.
All cravings, desires & needs
are, in fact, impurities that gather near the soul like dust. When dust
particles gather on a mirror, it fails to show a clear image. The mirror has to
be cleaned in order to see a clear reflection.
Likewise, various casings gather
near the soul and the path to remove these casings & coverings is the path
of knowledge.
Knowledge brings purity to the soul
The inner Knowledge brings purity
to the soul by removing all its impurities. It helps in developing an inner
understanding and conscience, helping the man realize that his life is full of
abundance.
But with casings near the soul in
the form of doubts & desires, the man is just a beggar. These desires say,
you can’t be happy and contented until you get what you lack in your life;
right now there is a lot of scarcity in your life. You have to gain a lot and
your situation is just like a beggar right now.
Such desires change the whole
perspective of life.
Be on the path of knowledge
But when a person is on the path
of knowledge, he does his duties and seldom thinks about the scarcities. He
thinks about what all are available to him right now as the kind blessing of
God. In such wise people, inner understanding awakens.
They understand that God has
given everything to them, but their mind is sitting with a begging bowl in the
hands.
So, a wise person realizes, “God
has bestowed upon me a beautiful body and equally beautiful life like a gift.
What more should I want? I seldom think about how am I eligible to get all such
blessings and I seek even more. First, I must show gratitude for all that I
have.”
Invite abundance with gratitude
Thus, the knowledgeable and the
wise person is the one who develops a sense of gratitude for what he owns right
now. Such people have a sense of thankfulness in them.
Whatever they have at present- a
healthy body, enough clothes to wear, food on the plate, a house to live, and
loving relationships - they remain grateful for that. They don’t guide their
senses deliberately towards those aspects that they lack.
Their mind is full of
gratefulness for what they have and God provides them with even more abundance.
God provides them with more opportunities to create greater material as well as
spiritual wealth in life.
So, for inviting abundance in
your life, count your blessings and awaken the feeling of a go-getter within
you. Perform your work dutifully, be grateful, and trust God. He will provide
you with everything at the right time.
