THOSE WHO KNOW THE DIVINE WITHIN ARE THE ONES WHO KNOW TRUE WEALTH. HOW WE EXPERIENCE OUR EXISTENCE WITH FEELING IS WHAT DETERMINES OUR WEALTH. IF A PERSON HAS ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD BUT IS MISERABLE AND NEEDS TO DRINK AND USE DRUGS TO RELAX AND ENJOY THEMSELVES THEN WHAT VALUE DOES HE TRULY HAVE? NO VALUE AT ALL. THIS PROVES THAT MONEY AND MATERIAL THINGS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH TRUE WEALTH.
HAVING TOO MUCH BECOMES A BURDEN BECAUSE A PERSON SEEKS PLEASURE IN MATERIAL THINGS AND THEN LOSES THEIR FREEDOM WHEN THEY HAVE TO THINK ABOUT TAKING CARE OF ALL THEIR THINGS.
SIMPLICITY AND APPRECIATION IS THE TRUEST WEALTH. THOSE WHO HAVE LITTLE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING A LOT MORE THAN THOSE WHO HAVE TOO MUCH AND VALUE NOTHING.
A QUOTE BY KABIR SAYS, “ The fish in the water is thirsty and it makes makes me laugh” YES, INDEED IT IS A FUNNY QUOTE BECAUSE MANY HUMANS ARE THE SAME SAME, DESIRING TO GO TO HEAVEN AFTER THEY DIE WHEN THEY ALREADY ARE IN HEAVEN ON EARTH WHILE THEY ARE ALIVE. PEOPLE ARE TAUGHT THAT HEAVEN IS A PLACE SOMEWHERE IN THE CLOUDS AFTER DEATH WHEN HEAVEN IS NOT A PLACE BUT AN EXPERIENCE FROM A FEELING THAT BUBBLES UP FROM WITHIN LIKE A FRESH SPRING EACH MOMENT IN THE PRESENCE OF HERE AND NOW WHILE LIVING.
WHEN WE HAVE GRATITUDE FOR THE THINGS WE USUALLY TAKE FOR GRANTED LIKE OUR BREATH AND A REFRESHING BREEZE, THE SHADE OF A TREE OR THE KINDNESS OF A PETS SINCERE STARE OF CONCERN FOR YOU OR THE GESTURE OF A CHILD OR A STRANGER THEN WE FEEL THE MAGIC OF HEAVEN IN EACH MOMENT WHILE BEING ALIVE ON EARTH. THE SECRET IS BEING FULLY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOMENT FREED FROM THE CHATTER OF THE WORLD AND THE MINDS OF OTHERS.
IT IS IN GRATITUDE THAT WE FIND TRUE JOY AND FREEDOM.
