You don’t have to be very rich to feel the abundance.

What are you struggling for?

Is it Money? You are struggling for money, then don’t sit and day dream, do hard work. If one business does not work, choose another business and do it. 

Don’t sit and day dream and only think about miracles to happen. 

Miracles do happen, but if you crave for miracles then they will take a back seat. Nature wants you to be dynamic. There are people who have asked me, ‘Guruji, please give me some numbers for my lottery ticket. I just want to win a lottery so that I don’t have to do anything. Just do sadhana all the time and some seva(service).’ No way! First of all, decide what it is that you want from life. You know money is something that you will always find people short of. Always!

You can see for example, the richest country, the only super power on this planet is USA and it is under heavy debt; trillions of dollars of debt. You take big companies; many of them are in debt. The richer a person gets, the more expenses he has. At the same time, there are poor people who are contributing towards charity, poor people who take time to do service, which is amazing. They feel so much abundance.

Did you know that during our silver jubilee celebration, a beautiful incident happened. I came down from the steps on the last day and a small boy came running to me with tears in his eyes and gave me an envelope. I took the envelope and it had Rs. 5000 in it. I looked at that boy and I asked, ‘What do you do?’ He said he is a labourer. The money in the envelope that he had given me had two months of his earnings, and he said, ‘Please take this.I can’t tell you how much my life has transformed. Please accept this.’ I took just Rs.100 from that envelope and returned back Rs. 4900. I told him, you know this Rs.100 is so precious for me, this is enough. I will take this. Two months of his salary; someone who is a labourer who does manual work, he comes and offers this. Such a big heart! You don't have to be very rich to feel the abundance.

In fact many rich people don’t feel abundance at all, they feel lack. They are not generous. But poor people are very generous. Don’t imagine a situation where you will become super rich one day and then you will start doing some seva(service), no, nothing like that. You can feel abundance at any point of time. 

And the moment you start feeling abundance, you will see things will get better.

5 Things You Can Do to Make India Unstoppable

#1 Take pride in your roots

The youngsters today should be proud of their roots. If they are not proud of their roots then that will show up as a weakness in their personality. So, take pride in your roots and your self-esteem will go up. If you have a good self-esteem then you can do anything in the world. In India, many people suffer from a lack of self-esteem.

#2 Stay away from intoxicants

The province of Punjab has been destroyed by drugs from across the border. It is such a sad thing. There are people in India, and many youth who don’t want to do anything because they are so addicted to drugs. Not just the province of Punjab, but the same is in Kerala, Mumbai and in Bangalore. It is unbelievable. We must chuck the intoxicants. I request the you to stay away from all types of intoxicants. Drugs and alcohol de-addiction is a must for a progressive country.

#3 Participate in social service

Engage yourself in some form of social activity, at least for one hour a day. Give one hour to the nation.

Even if you are a housewife, you can contribute. Women love talking, you should go and talk to the people on the streets, in the slums, and to the under privileged people. Go in groups to areas where there are underprivileged people and sit with them, talk to them, and give them some solace. Just by talking you can reduce the burden and worries of many people. You can bring down their tension.

#4 Do some random acts of kindness

Emotion is in the very core of every human being. It just needs a little nurturing through random acts of kindness. Take a sankalpa to do one random act of kindness every now and then.

#5 Improve on your talents

For the youth, this is the time to improve your talents. This is the time to be creative and multi-dimensional. You have to be multi-talented. Though you may pursue one line of education, do not ignore to equip yourself with others skills. You may be studying engineering, but also learn some cooking. Suppose you don’t get an engineer job at least you can cook somewhere.

When I was a youth like you, I use to think, what else can I do? I thought I was anyway going to do spirituality. So, I used to put my hand everywhere. Even if you are not a master it is good to be a jack of all trades. Explore your ability to be a multi-faceted personality. So, it is very important to improve your personality by engaging yourself in many areas.
