Deeper Secret of Life
You need to understand a deep secret of this universe. It is a truth, a cosmic law.
Nothing can ever be taken away from you for which you are worthy of. Whatever you are worthy of, whatever responsibility you take, whatever you are able to handle, will never leave you. Even death cannot separate that from you.
Nothing can be enjoyed by you, even if you acquire and legally keep around you, that for which you are not worthy of. Whatever you are not worthy of, even if you have it legally in your name, you will not be living it.
Please understand, you don't even have to believe what I am saying. All I am saying is have little sympathy to what I am saying and experiment with this understanding in your life. I experimented with this truth not only in my life but in the lives of tens of thousands of disciples; I can say this is 100% true in the case of all 100% of them. One more thing, I have no vested interest to convince you about this truth. I don't get any money or there is no company to fund me for every person getting enlightened! So what I am saying is the truth and I have verified it based on my experience.
I have seen people all over the world, they can't enjoy the scene unless it is legally theirs. They will go to lovely hill-stations and beautiful beaches; but they can't enjoy. First thing they will want to know is how to own an apartment or resort in that place. They will go on buying resorts and beach-houses but they are never be able to have vacation – because they are too busy buying another vacation home somewhere! And the watchman at the resort will be enjoying the wealth!
In the Vedic tradition, two types of wealth are described – Kubera's wealth and Lakshmi's wealth. Kubera is a demigod. He goes on accumulating; neither does he enjoy nor does he allow others to enjoy! It will be there for the future. When that future will come, nobody knows! This is Kubera's wealth – accumulated out of insecurity.
Please understand, that wealth will never come of use when you really need it. Because when the need arises, you will think, 'No; worse needs may arise. Worse times may come. For that let this wealth be there.' Lakshmi's wealth is circulating wealth. Kubera's wealth is not wealth; it is sheer load and pressure on your body, mind and system. Lakshmi is wealthy but constantly showering.
Wealth created and maintained out of insecurity brings more and more bondage and fear. Wealth created out of overflowing energy, intelligence, clarity and freedom brings more and more freedom. So the basic attitude with which you function is going to play a major role in whether you are going to be a Kubera or Lakshmi.
Understand, the cosmos runs based on dharma. Whatever you carry – intelligence, energy, relationships, love, wealth, awareness – everything stays with you even if you die. It is like you are a bubble that disappears here and reappears somewhere else. If this one truth you are able to internalize, you will be liberated from the fear of death now itself.
You will be completely liberated from all the insecurities and fears you constantly carry. Now you are carrying your own hell. The constant fear and insecurity we carry with us can be healed this minute.
Be very clear, the cosmos is not an accident. It is an order; it is pure auspiciousness.
If you believe the whole thing is chaos, depression is inevitable. Because at every step, there is fear, there is no order. You don't know what can happen next moment. If you think you are here to be punished, you are in hell. But if you think you are here to be fulfilled, you are in heaven. Hell and heaven are not geographical; they are psychological.
A small story:
A man was driving his car on the highway when he heard an announcement on the local radio station, 'There is a car driving at 180 mph on Highway 205. Please drive carefully while the traffic police are at work to catch the culprit.'
The man exclaimed to himself, 'One car? God, there are hundreds!'
The man was himself driving on the wrong lane but was blaming others for driving on the wrong lane! Understand, if you feel life is a chaos, you are driving on the wrong lane!
Understanding the purpose of cosmos, purpose of your existence and the connection between the two is what I call awakening to the truth, awakening to the enlightenment. Then the cosmos will simply live through you.
