manifestation of Goddess Saraswati, because it comes out after
having ‘touched’ the Supreme Soul within!
What are the laws of Goddess Lakshmiji, the Goddess of
wealth and prosperity? Her law is that one should not steal
through his mind, body or speech; that is one foremost law of
Goddess Lakshmiji. One should also not go chasing after
Lakshmiji (money or wealth) nor should one obstruct her path.
One should not have contempt for Lakshmiji either. The Gnani
Purush will honor Lakshmiji with flowers when she comes
before Him and He will honor her with flowers even when she
leaves. Those who harbor a desire for wealth, Lakshmiji will
‘visit’ them later than sooner and she visits on time, those who
do not harbor a desire for wealth.
How does one earn wealth? With labor and hard work?!
With intellect (buddhi)?! No! A person earns wealth as a result
of his past merit karma. Not having the knowledge or awareness
of this hidden fact, people boast, “I earned my fortune. I earned
it because of my intellect.” This is a wrong ego. Lakshmiji will
come to you if your intent improves. True wealth, i.e. money that
brings meaningful happiness when it is being spent, will never be
earned if one has deceitful intents. What is more, only true
wealth will give one peace in life. Wealth acquired through
deceitful means will inevitably be lost and in the process, the
pain it will entail will be like the pain from the bites of a thousand
scorpions! The authority over whether one receives wealth or
not is not in one’s own control; it is under the control of some
other entity. Man only needs to do the work as a nimit (become
instrumental in the process); he has to make all the attempts.
One should not become disinterested in money (Lakshmiji)
either and one should definitely not insult money (Lakshmiji).
Anyone who insults Lakshmiji will be without Lakshmiji for
many lives to come and all efforts he makes for Lakshmiji will
be in vain.
