AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Everybody deserves to not be rich or they cannot be rich?

Asked by 12 year old

Everybody deserves to be have enough money to be able to take care of their needs and lead a reasonably comfortable life. This does not happen because of two reasons.

  1. Most people are selfish and do not want to share what they have. The greed of few leaves holes for others.
  2. Not all are meant to be rich. Or we can say that there are different kinds of wealth such as intelligence, compassion, love, peace, strength, endurance, courage, faith. Everyone gets their share in life but very few realise it and use it well. Most remain busy trying to get something that they do not have because they see others have it. In the process they neglect what they have and since they do not value it, they tend to lose it.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

My niece who is 12 yrs old doesn’t like sharing😥. If she takes her favorite food to school and her friends ask her to share, she doesn’t give or gives a very small piece. If by chance she happens to share a chocolate with girls she doesn’t like, she wants to snatch it away. She is attached to Krishna, and only thing that pacifies her is when we tell her that Krishna likes if she shares what He has given her. She says “I know it’s bad, i know it’s a devil that says this, but I can’t overpower it. It tells me that those girls did bad and said bad things about you, instead of that you shared your things, now you go steal something from them. Or I keep thinking what will I get if I give them”..[conti]
