On ingratitude!

On Ingratitude!

Gratitude is the back-bone of abundance – be it any abundance – more so for the financial. First let me see how or what acts show- my lack of gratitude! Ingratitude is the main reason for mis-management of finance and thereby bringing about financial abundance in life.

Mother Lakshmi has two vahans – vehicles to travel. One being Owl and the other Garuda. When she enters our life on Owl, she makes a fool of us – ullu – and walks out of our life too that way! Not every rich person has right attitudes, then why attitude is considered so important for a sadhak? Well, here goes the answer. Just the way he earns, his spending is also found senseless and useless even to himself in many ways. When money is earned by wrong ways, then Mother Lakshmi is said to be entering our lives sitting on Owl and hence she brings only sukkh – only comforts and there is no samridhdhi and also no shanthi.

When Mother Lakshmi comes sitting on the Garuda, she enters our lives with Lord Narayana sitting with her. She represents sukh – comforts and he represents shanthi & samridhdhi i.e., character and also wealth. When Financial abundance is uttered by a sadhak and that too with sadhan, then we are talking of Goddess of Wealth coming into our lives with her consort Lord Narayana.

Now, the question is what are the symptoms that point out my ingratitude?
· Talking ill of against person/ system / institution / nation which supports us and also benefits us. Just for sustaining us, we should have gratitude! Over and above that, it supports us and feeds and benefits us. But, we are ever so cribbing, complaining, talking lowly about the person / system / institution etc that’s given us so much.
· One more statement that surprises me is when people get job / loan / money to run their families / life through Reiki yet complain that Reiki doesn’t give financial abundance in their life. Are you AWARE of the level of ingratitude that you have?
· Calling / SMS when in need and not calling / Sms once the healing is complete. Dukh mein sumiran sab karein, sukkh mein karein na koi, jo sukkh mein sumiran karein, tho dukkh kahe ko hoi?
Every one remembers while in need/ pain, but hardly anyone remembers / calls to say thanks once relieved of it. If people can remember even in good times, then why would be there any pain at all in life?
· Calling for an enquiry regarding Vaasthu etc and not calling in say if house is purchased / shifted etc….

These instances are only examples and not the be-all of ingratitude. Similar must be the fashion we deal with others in our life. We would be taking others also for granted in the same way.

Ingratitude can be negated with Gratitude only. What Gratitude is and what it is not will be discussed tomorrow. But, before that please come out with instances that talk of ingratitude especially so with regards to the financial aspect. Till you come out with your examples, I go to write tomorrow’s blog….
