Politeness originates from Education, and Humility derives from Politeness. Humility leads to Wealth, Wealth to Righteousness and one begets Happiness from Righteousness.
All of us received and assimilated education-knowledge-wisdom into our lives, and this close context has enabled us to lead our current lives. We may be a Doctor, Engineer, Teacher, Factory Worker or a Businessman, but one fact is abundantly clear. We are able to pursue these professions only after attaining the required capabilities through learning, comprehending and utilizing this knowledge. Those who could not assimilate this knowledge are currently unemployed and wondering around for employment. They have the requisite graduation degrees, but lack the wisdom. They consider themselves helpless due to either lack of proper opportunities or their inability to use the opportunities properly.
It might be part of your destiny to take birth in poverty, however, continuing to lead a life of poverty is solely due to your own weakness. We have received this divine-human physical form to eradicate the poverty and paucities of life. All sensory and motor nerves are fully active in this human form. It is now up to you to either expand and develop these senses-activities or to spend your entire life in the same dire condition. If you do not make any change in yourself and retain the same status quo situation, then the conditions within your life will become more dire and dismal. And you will be the only one to be blamed for this sorry state. On the contrary, you can make your life completely joyous and happy by productively utilizing the various opportunities offered in life.
Guru also bestows this wisdom to us. He guides us on the correct path and grants us the consciousness to enable us to attain total success in life. We should not beg from anyone. Our sages, ascetics, and Gurus have crafted superior knowledge-wisdom through meditations and penance. When we assimilate this divine wisdom in our life, when we study this knowledge, when we comprehend this divine knowledge bestowed by our Guru, within our own life, then a divine sense of politeness and humility awakens within our inner being, and as a result, we get elevated to the status of exalted gentleness, in the company of distinguished erudite. All of you desire development and growth and wish for wealth and prosperity. Goddess Lakshmi accompanies only those who are humble, gentle, and industrious.
The new year 2077 has started and these Navratri days are the auspicious days of new creations. New thoughts about the development of our life should also arise from our hearts. These noble thoughts, along with a persistent sense of implementation, will convert this year into one of the best years of your life. All of us wish to become enlightened and desire to become erudite and prosperous like our Guru. We all long for favorable fortune. Continuous focus on productive actions will enable us to achieve greatness within a short span of time.
You should continuously endeavor to eradicate the vile, dirty, and ill thoughts from the altar of your heart. Assimilate divine Guru within the shrine of your heart, to attain happiness, wealth, prosperity in both materialism and spiritualism fields. This is not a mere imagination, rather it is the irrevocable truth. Many Sadhaks have successfully accomplished this in the past, and I am sure that many of you will be able to successfully accomplish it as well. I have full belief in you and my SadGurudev.
Your own, Vineet Shrimali
