Divine grace is the true wealth. Acquire that and you would have acquired everything. Character is important, not wealth. But man is wasting his life hankering after wealth. No doubt money is necessary, but it should be within certain limits. Spend your time in serving others. Love your fellowmen. Surrender yourself to God. Nothing surpasses divine love. The entire world is permeated with love. The Veda declares: antar bahis ca tat sarvam vyapya narayanah sthitah(God is all-pervasive). All names and forms are His. Names and forms may vary, but the Atma is the same in all. Recognise the unity of all beings. That will result in universal love. The world is a mansion. All belong to the caste of humanity. Unity should prevail in such a mansion.(SSS Vol.32 Part II, p. 21)
O Mind! Do not ask for anything.
The more you ask, the longer will it be delayed.
If you do not ask, the sooner will it be done.
Did not the Lord bless Jatayu and Shabhari,
though they never asked for their last moments to be spent
in His proximity?
God knows for sure when, where and how He
should bless His devotee.
Divine grace is in proportion to the meritorious deeds that one
performs.
