What attitude can help us earn money?

Sri Bhagavan:


"We should also understand the difference between money making and wealth creation. Making money is an unenlightened pursuit. You could gamble and make money, or go racing and make money. While wealth creation, on the other hand, is a spiritual activity. Wealth, ultimately, is the ability to add value to things and people. Let us say you set up an academy to train young minds in order to create productive citizens, who are creating wealth for the nation. You create an industry, you are helping employ many people, and are also strengthening the social fabric into being richer. Wealth always has a tendency to percolate.

There is an Indian word for money, which is called "nanayam". What this means is integrity. That is, the name means integrity. If money is rightfully earned, it indicates your contribution to society. What have you done for society, whereby you've earned that much money. It's an indicator of your contribution.

Your ability to create and retain wealth is determined by your relationship with money. Like everything else, money is a form of energy which is attracted to the energy that is like itself. Your relationship with anything determines how much of that thing you are attracting or repelling. Money does not exist by itself but it is always attached with the energy of the person who relates with it. The same money can be experienced by different people in different ways according to the relationship they each have with it.

Rich people know that money is important, that is why they have it. Poor people think money is not important, that is why they lack it. Can you imagine if you kept telling your spouse that they are not important, how long do you think they are going to stay with you? What you appreciate, appreciates in value. What you do not appreciate, depreciates in value. Know that money is important and appreciate it, but do not be attached to it. It's having a healthy relationship where you cherish it but are free from it.

Your motivation for making money is vital. If your motivation for making money comes from fear, anger or the need to prove yourself, then money will never bring you happiness. Anger and the need to prove yourself are also forms of fear. It is a state of being where you feel you don't have something and therefore you need to fight to get it. It is to intend and act from a place of fear. The opposite is to intend and act from a place of love. It is a state of being where you are whole and doing what brings you joy

When you indulge in wealth creation with intelligence and integrity, money is an automatic byproduct."

Sri Bhagavan on Happening of Miracles and Transformation.

Bhagavan, when people meet Amma ji and Bhagavan ji, tremendous miracles are happening to them and they are experiencing great transformation. How does it happen? Sri Bhagavan: See basically when you come to me, that is why we say please come one by one. Even when you are one family or husband and wife, very often i am focusing, we don't even know who is the person standing next. Even though we know the person very very well. While looking we can't pick up the other person at all. When we focus on you we actually experience you. Of course we take some precautions because, if you sense we are experiencing, you will collapse. So we don't do that. So up to a point we experience you. Then it gives me a feeling that what is causing you pain. That is why I take little bit time to adjust. So once I can get it exactly, we feel that this is what you want desperately. We take sankalpa that this must change now. When we feel and take the sankalpa, then what happens is, it becom

Vision of Oneness

Dear Bhagavan, we have heard you say that vision of Oneness is to set humanity free. Could You elucidate on this? Sri Bhagavan: "Nature has thrown up a tremendous variety of species. The physical component provided by nature could be considered the hardware. If evolution of life were compared to a day then humanity suppose to have emerged in the last few moments. This tremendously advanced spieces of human kind has created a software, based on the hardware provided by nature. This software consists of beliefs, perceptions, religions, myths, cultures and any number of stories on which it runs. The sum total of this psychological content could be termed the software that is running the spieces. A significant section of this software is limiting in nature and is detrimental to the experience of living. One of the most defective softwares that has become part of the human system is the illusory identity of the thinker or self. The vision of Oneness is to set humanity totally and

Man's victory lies in his surrender to God.

Sri Amma Bhagavan: We can expound this teaching at different levels. We will see one perspective only right now.      God's will is the Divine Will. What we see is the Divine Will. All things are happening automatically. Sun is rising in the east, seasons are coming, earth is revolving round the sun, you are waking up in the morning, you are getting hunger, thinking is happening etc. Therefore, what is happening is the Divine Will.      God has gifted man with the Free Will. Which means, man has the power to think whatever he wants, speak whatever he wants and can do whatever he wants to do. That is how one can design one's life. Throw flowers, flowers will fall on you; throw stones, stones will fall on you. Thus you are the creator of your own destiny. But, you are full of hurts, ego, jealousy, anger, hatred, traumas etc. hence your thoughts, words and actions result in such decisions leading to a particular kind of life.      On the other hand, you surrender to
