Which is the emotion that binds us and which is it that liberates us?

Material wealth brings along with it, not only joy but grief as well.

Accumulation of riches and multiplication of wants, only lead to alternation between joy and grief.

Attachment is the root-cause for both joy and grief; detachment is the saviour. Attachment is death; non-attachment is the saviour.

A millionaire pays income-tax with tears in his eyes; a headmaster joyfully gives up the furniture and laboratory appliances of his school when he is transferred to some other place.

Why? Because the headmaster knows that he is only the caretaker, not the owner. He is not attached to these articles; he knows that they belong to the government.

So too feel that your family, your house, your fields, your car, and so on are all the Divine's property and that you are only the trustee; be ready to give them up without a murmur at a moment's notice.

- Divine Discourse, Aug 19, 1964.

Whatever happens to you, take it as a lesson to harden your character, toughen your nerves
and heighten your detachment. That will give peace and joy.

People who want to be rich fall into all sorts of temptations and traps.

They are caught by foolish and harmful desires that drag them down and destroy them.

Possessing Vs Pursuing

by Vishal Khandelwal

I believe our lives are not defined by what we possess but by what we pursue.

History has ample proof that it is not what people (like Alexander and Hitler) have tried to possess but what people (like Einstein and Gandhi) pursued that brought meaning to their lives and to those around them.

"I enjoy life," Seneca said, "because I am ready to leave it."

In his book On the Shortness of Life, Seneca wrote this -

As far as I am concerned, I know that I have lost not wealth but distractions. The body's needs are few: it wants to be free from cold, to banish hunger and thirst with nourishment; if we long for anything more we are exerting ourselves to serve our vices, not our needs.

Imagine if we can unburden ourselves of 90% of our worldly goods, it should not be difficult to leave the remaining 10% behind?

Seek Wealth, Not Money or Status

by Vishal Khandelwal

Here's an excerpt from an insightful discussion that Naval Ravikant had with Babak Nivi -

Nivi: What's the difference between wealth, money, and status?

Naval: Wealth is the thing that you really want. Wealth is assets that earn while you sleep.

Wealth is the factory, the robots that's cranking out things. Wealth is the computer program that's running at night, that's serving other customer.

Wealth is… even money in the bank that is being reinvested into other assets, and into other businesses.

Even a house can be a form of wealth because you can rent it out, although that's probably a lower use of productivity of land than actually doing some commercial enterprise.

So, my definition of wealth is much more businesses and assets that can earn while you sleep. But really the reason you want wealth is because it buys you your freedom.

So, you don't have to wear a tie like a collar around your neck. So, you don't have to wake up at 7:00 AM, and rush to work, and sit in commute traffic.

So, you don't have to waste away your entire life grinding all the productive hours away into a soulless job that doesn't fulfill you.

5 HUGE Mistakes that Drive Good Fortune Away

By Tana Hoy - August 3rd, 2015

Are your dreams and wishes coming true? If not, you need to find out why the blessings of the Universe are being blocked from your life!

Wouldn't you want to have an abundant life? Abundance is a form of positive energy from the Universe. Energy needs to flow freely to be of any use at all.

If you’re doing something that keeps you from getting the good things that you wish for in your life, you need to find out what it is that is preventing it.

1. Neglecting to be Generous

Are you wary or afraid of sharing your material blessings with others, because you are somehow afraid of not having enough left for yourself? If yes, then you are preventing the smooth flow of prosperity into your life.

Whenever you give something to others, especially those in need, you are planting “good seeds” that, in time, will translate to positive Karma.

Positive Karma is a result of something fortunate coming into your life, because you have also done something good for someone else. But if you have done something negative, then you will suffer the consequences of that action.

Remember that Karma works in a continuous cycle. So, if you sow seeds of kindness, you also reap kindness. But if you keep thinking negative thoughts, you will surely reap the fruits of those negative thoughts.


2. Not Following Your Intuition

Another huge mistake that drives away good opportunities and good luck is not following your intuition.

It is a huge mistake to ignore your intuition because your intuition is a gentle message from the Spirit World. Your intuition is the voice of your Spirit Guides.

Your intuition is more than a gut-feeling motivating you to do something. Your intuition can warn you, encourage you, or ask you to postpone making a decision. Your intuition has your best interests in mind.

So, if ever you experience your intuition telling you that you will lose your money when you are about to invest or buy something, draw back and listen to that quiet message. You’ll be glad you did.

3. Not Believing that You Deserve to be Fortunate

Everyone deserves a good life: more money in the bank, a huge house with a beautiful garden, a fancy car, and a good husband or wife at their side. Good health, peace of mind, and the presence of other people to love and be loved by are your divine rights.

What’s strange, however, is that there are people who think that they don’t deserve these blessings from the Universe!

One of the worst mistakes that you can do is to think of yourself as being unworthy of good things. When you start thinking in such a manner, you will find in the long run, that you keep on getting into one difficult situation after another.

That’s because negative thinking attracts negative energy.

Positive thinking attracts positive energy.

To attract good things in your life, start by firmly believing that you deserve to receive prosperity, happiness, and abundance in all desirable aspects of living.

Your mind is more powerful than you think. Inside your mind, miracles are unfolding. But miracles will only reveal themselves completely if you let them happen!

4. Neglecting to be Thankful

Everything that happens in your life happens for a good reason. Sometimes, it may be hard to believe such a fact.

You may not realize at first, that even the bad things which are happening in your life are blessings in disguise.

But it you reflect upon all the bad things that have happened in your life, you will see that each of those bad things eventually produced a good result, one way or the other. Bad experiences can teach excellent lessons, lessons that you can put to good use later on.

Have you thanked the Universe for the blessings that you have already received, and for the blessings that you are about to receive?

Thankfulness is an attitude that attracts more and more blessings, but lack of gratitude can drive away the good things that are about to come into your life.

5. No Longer Having a Childlike Heart

Being childlike is vastly different from being childish.

Childishness is all about being petty and selfish, of always wanting to be the center of attention.

On the other hand, being childlike is having the kind of innocence and openness that children start out with in life.

Having a childlike heart is being able to hope, to forgive, and to believe in what is good.

Did you dream of achieving many things when you were young? I did! Most of my dreams came true. Some are still coming true. I am thankful that I have the capacity to dream and help myself,along with others, to create a better future.

Sometimes, people stop dreaming when they start facing difficulties and challenges in life.

This is very unfortunate because if you stop dreaming – becoming a visionary– you are also driving away the good things which the Universe wants you to have.

Dreaming is part of our creative process.

As you visualize an image in your mind of something that you want, you are creating waves of vibrating energies. And as the vibration becomes stronger, it will eventually manifest in real life.

So, never make the huge mistake of surrendering your dreams. Dream and believe.

How Can You Attract More Luck and Avoid Misfortune in Your Life?
To drive bad luck from your life…

Be optimistic. Doing so will help you a lot in creating changes in all aspects of your life.
Make affirmations a daily habit: the more positive, the better. Affirmations are sets of positive words that help to reprogram your subconscious. They are repeated many times until your mind and heart absorb them, and they become a part of your reality.
https://www.tanahoy.com/affirmations
Some good affirmations are: “I am healthy, I am wealthy, and I am good at what I do! I am grateful for these blessings!”

Be more positive and avoid worrying. Trust that the Universe has a very good plan for you. Develop that strong belief that you deserve all the good things in life. As it’s been written in the Desiderata,“you are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars.”

Always be open to sharing your blessings with others.
Be thankful for all the things that are happening in your life. Thank the Universe for the blessings, and even for the challenges that you face. The blessings are there to nourish you, and the challenges are there to make you stronger.

10 Bold Ways to Reboot Your Finances (Your Spirit Guides are Waiting to Help!)

By Tana Hoy - October 9th, 2019

Your Spirit Guides are always willing to help you accomplish and achieve things you need to accomplish at this lifetime. They can also help you get your finances back on track.

If you’re like most people, chances are you’ve experienced financial difficulty one way or another. It could be that you are a few payments late on your home mortgage or credit card, or you have far too much debt, or perhaps you don’t have any savings at all.

If you think that you’ve already done everything to get your finances back on track, but have so far failed, then it’s time to call upon your spirit guides to teach you how to solve your financial problems.

Getting Your Finances Back On Track By Calling On Your Spirit Guides

Spirit guides are people just like you and me, who have learned all of life’s lessons, and therefore, no longer need to reincarnate into a human form. Given the knowledge and wisdom that these spiritual beings have gathered over time, rebooting your finances is definitely going to be a cinch when you ask for their help.

Here are a few ways you can get your finances back on track with the help of your spirit guides:


Acknowledge that you are surrounded with spirit guides

These spiritual beings won’t be able to give you their guidance and advice, if you don’t open yourself up to them. You can start by declaring that you are ready and willing to reboot your finances with their help.


Ask your spirit guides to help you eliminate your karmic debt

Karmic debt is a spiritual debt that is the result of bad karma from this life, and bad karma that has been carried over from your previous lives. You could have done something in your previous lives that are significantly affecting your present financial situation.

Call upon your spirit guides to surround you with financially-successful people

In the Laws of the Universe, there is a law that states, “like attracts like.” Your life is basically a magnet that attracts whatever you draw into it by using your words, actions, and feelings.

Surrounding yourself with financially-successful people helps you think, act, and feel like them, which improves your capability to attract the financial success that they have into your life.


Ask your spirit guides to help you fortify your White Light.

White Light is the powerful, yet gentle healing energy that you can use to protect yourself from negative vibrations. Negative vibrations simply make you feel pessimistic, distrustful of others, and unsure of your talents and capabilities, including getting your financial situation back on the right track. It is much easier to reboot your finances when you have the powerful protection of White Light in and around you.


Make meditation a daily routine

Meditation keeps your aura strong, which protects you from the harmful effects of bad energy. It also helps clear your mind from negative thought forms that can potentially force you to make bad financial decisions. Meditation also makes you feel more attuned to your spirit guides when you practice it on a regular basis.


Consult your spirit guides before making a crucial financial decision.

Your spirit guides are Beings of Light that can offer you comfort, advice, and guidance, if you simply call on them whenever you need their help. Keep in mind to ask your spirit guides for their wisdom whenever you have to make a crucial financial decision to guarantee that you will pick the best one.


Ask your spirit guides to fill you with positive thoughts.

When you think, you are literally transforming consciousness into a more concrete form of energy and your financial situation can be directly affected with how you’re using this transformation of energy. Simply making it a habit to only think positive thoughts can help you improve your finances.


Chant on a regular basis

Chanting is one way of healing the tears that are caused by negative energy in your aura. The faster you heal these tears in your aura, the more protected you will become from the harmful effects of negative energy, which can have a direct effect on how you manage your finances. You can also combine chanting and meditation to feel as close to your spirit guides as possible.


Wear a crystal

Crystals have the ability to magnify your aura, which helps to protect you from negative forces. You can go for labradorite, black tourmaline, amethyst, watermelon tourmaline, smoky quartz, and clear quartz, to name a few which you can choose.


Ask your spirit guides to help you attract lots of positive energy into your life

The more positive energy you have in your life, the easier it is to keep clear from financial problems.
