cents! Money comes because of one’ s merit karmas. Even a mad man will make money if he has the punya.‘ We’ will give you an example of a mad person.
Inflow of Money
A sheth( wealthy man) and his chief accountant were sitting next to each other in Ahmedabad. There was a wooden bench with a cushion on it and in front of it was a platter of food on top of a small table. The sheth was getting ready to dine. Let me describe to you what he looked like. He sat spread three feet across over the floor, a foot and half above the floor was his head. A triangle shaped head with big eyes, a big nose and lips as fat as a donut! And what else but a telephone sitting next to him! The phone would ring often and he would talk into it as he ate. He did not even know how to eat. On the floor scattered around his plate were pieces of puris and rice. The phone would ring and he would speak into it,“ Buy two thousand.” Next day he would have made two hundred thousand rupees. The accountant sat wrecking his brains and the sheth made money without any efforts. It would appear that he was making money through his intellect but really that intellect came forth at the right time because of his merit karmas. His success is due to his punyas and this becomes evident when we put the sheth and his accountant together. The accountant is the one with real intelligence, not the sheth. Where did the sheth’ s punya come from? Was it because he worshipped God with a right understanding? No, it was because he did not have the right understanding. If you are benevolent towards others or do something good for others, you bind punya. Even if you worship God without the correct understanding, you will get result( benefits); just like you would if you were to stick your hand in a fire without understanding the fire. You would still get burnt, would you not?
