Today's Meditation is taken from *Proverbs
11:4 "Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath , but
righteousness delivers from death "
Still
the same position about the money in India , different people are
facing different problems about the money.
We
all can learn spiritual things from the current situation in India
1.
Change is Sudden
Everybody
is concerned about the overnight action making high value currency
invalid across India. Nobody saw it coming; or was prepared; or had
even any idea of its happening. But
there is something else which we know will surely come, but are not
sure when, where and how - that is death. And it will come even
more stealthily than this!
We
had 4 hours advance notice for this - but in death, there will
not be 4 seconds. Are we prepared for the secrecy and suddenness in
Death?
2.
Value can be Lost in a Second
We
had Lakhs of Rupees in 500 and 1,000 denomination yesterday - but
today they are just pieces of paper!
Similarly,
all wordly gains - money, wealth, fame, power
- not just high currency - will all be worthless for us a
second after death.
3.
Don't Bank upon Banks
Like
the ATMs and Banks are closed today, options to do good deeds
will close with death. No further good deeds can be done / notes
withdrawn by us directly.
We
can enjoy the assets we purchased earlier with the 500 / 1,000
currency but can't purchase any new ones now. Similarly, only the
lasting assets of good deeds we created will benefit us after death
- no new goodness can then be done.
4.
Fakes Will Not Last
One
of the purposes of the action is to deal with fake currency. After
this, all fake notes will be out of the system. So will it be with
ourselves and our actions...
Let
us test ourselves - do we have authentic notes or fakes ones -
of success, relations, happiness, even good deeds? Is our life itself
authentic or are we living a fake life in a fake world?
5.
Small is Big
Big
deeds run the risk of breeding pride and arrogance. The real gems are
the small, quiet, hidden, good deeds that are done with
sincerity when no one is looking. The
person with two 100 rupee notes is today richer that the a person
with a thousand 500 rupee notes!
6.
Source Matters
For
each of your actions, you shall be questioned and your source /
intention seen. When
you go to the Bank to exchange the Rs 500 / 1,000 note, you will be
asked for identity / PAN / source of Income.
Similarly
when you bring your deeds to the Creator, he will ask for your source
/ intentions / purpose. Did you do it to be called a generous person?
Or to compete with someone? Or only for the will and happiness of
God?
Only
the last will be valid currency there!
7.
Plan Ahead
A
lot of people are busy worrying and planning what they can do with
the invalidated currency now. But it may be too late. Planning
for the hereafter needs to start Now - with right
intention, sincere devotion and regular action. Else it could
be too late.
Plan
for heaven on earth. And life after death.
Let's
pray Lord , please give me a heart of satisfaction about the wealth
,not the love of money , help me to look for the things which are
above .
GOD
BLESS YOU
