Health, Wealth, Stability
Sri Aurobindo, speaking about health, wealth, and government said health can be well preserved, for us to guide the government, we must be the Government. About wealth, He claimed ignorance. He was speaking not of family life, but about the global life ruled by higher consciousness. Mother took it up, went into the occult world, met the Black Python, saw the treasure of the earth guarded by him. He stopped Her, saying She could have it if She overcame the sex vibration in the world. Occultists can go there. Spirituality does not give one that power. Should any such occultist go there, he will find that Black Python no longer pitch dark. Some of his darkness has faded away. This is the principle of a knowledge that comes from above. We do have its version that rises from below – a human version.
Human life is not infinite, but finite. Welfare here is conditional. For every accomplishment there is an accompanying condition. Land produces by work, exam is passed by hard work of reading, a family flourishes by steady work as well as sacred values. But most men want to be absentee landlords, pass without reading, enjoy a life in the family without work or values. Of course, it is not common sense. The ideal is the rich man, rather the sons of the rich man. How hard the Man worked to become rich, they do not want to know. They would like to inherit fabulous wealth. Whether it is right or wrong, that is the normal human aspiration. We are not here to condemn it or justify it, but there is no harm in analysing such an attitude. This is the age of Internet and many things are received for a small price, almost a token price and many other things are totally free. To expect to get anything free is not a welcome attitude, but our phone bill is only a token. The truth is because the Society is highly advanced, our comforts and conveniences have becoming cheaper. There are free libraries. There is free software. There is a Google scheme where if you are willing to watch advertisements about a place to which you are going, the taxi fare will be partly paid by the companies that advertise. Sometime, it is the whole fare. Google knows how to convert a resource of the Society into Money for some customer. This is a long experienced phenomenon not noticed by all, as the benefit is indirect. But, here, we do see that resources of the Society lend themselves to be converted into Money. McKinsey saw the lower side of this truth long ago.
A national phenomenon, a corporate phenomenon are good in themselves, but for the individual to be benefitted by this idea and abundantly, one must be able to see this phenomenon in his family. Wealth is earned, but often there are members of the family who play ducks and drakes with the Money and the family perishes. 30 வருஷம் வாழ்ந்தவனுமில்லை 30 வருஷம் கெட்டவனுமில்லை. செல்வம் சகடக்கால் போல் வரும் are the essence of our culture. It was definitely true, even today in rich measure. But there are new phenomena in life. Those who can put up NEW attitudes can benefit by them and there can be abundant wealth that can never be bankrupt. Those who enjoy destroying wealth in race, gambling, etc. are exempt to this rule, not that they are exempt in all conditions.
The social resource lends itself to be converted into Money. It can be created in the Family where the social resource can become a family resource. Or the Family resource can allow one to draw upon the social resource. Those devotees who have taken to consecration very seriously at home or at work in the company are already enjoying this benefit. Family produces as the company produces. Equally the Family as well as the company can create this Resource in abundance.
When this Resource is turned into Money the Resource increases.
So, it is inexhaustible.
Families that follow Mother’s Principles everywhere see such resources are being created. It is understood as credit worthiness in our society. It is really the Power of the Family, as a long standing company creates Good Will which carries a market price at the time of sale. This Power is the Resources I speak of. It is a power that can be turned into Money. As Money is thus created, this Power increases. Our people, when they see this phenomenon occasionally, term it as அதிர்ஷ்டம், luck. It is a way of missing the knowledge.
The Power which is a Resource is VALUE comprising of multifarious values.
As values they are powerful.
As Mother’s values they are infinitely powerful.
A family of ten or fifteen will be able to create great power. Small families of course can create only small powers. A family that is now at point five or ten in the Social Scale can readily move to thirty or fifty. The power of a family issues out of Values. Following the values of The Mother uncompromisingly, one must be able to reach 90 to 95 points on the scale, if not hundred.
What is paramount is constant effort to rise, touch and stay at the peak of hundred, which alone can give the energy.
A family that launches on family values will soon see it has moved from general scarcity to visible plenty. Its stability is assured as long as members are under self-control. In the West the least of Men enjoy a total sense of security which is absent here. At its height it is given to Royalty in great abundance. Their fame and reputation is unwounded. The Family rising from point twelve to 92 rises 80 points. Its life will equally become comfortable. For an exertion at the level of 12 the Family will enjoy at the level of 92. The benefits are enormous but are unfelt as it is indirect, invisible in its incidence. For that to become a tangible monetary result at the family level, there should an expression in the commercial sector. For centuries here we know of the chit fund. In the West it is the stock market. It is possible today in retail sales or house building or any other possible innovation (as the idea of a Bank of Human Development) to witness investments multiplying ten or even a thousand times. Commercially products of a recognized standard ‘create’ such wealth. A successful entrepreneur needed 2.5 crores for expansion. No scope existed. He was told his product carries all the Money he needed. The market offered twenty crores when he was unable to raise 2.5 crores. It is there all around us as an unorganized invisible power.
A Family of reputation for its values நாணயமான குடும்பம் can today raise hundred times the Money their properties are worth. And such a multiplication is endless. The limit is the limit of its VALUES.
இது அழியாத செல்வம், அழிக்க முடியாத செல்வம்.
எடுக்க எடுக்க வளரும் செல்வம் எவராலும் அழிக்க முடியாது.
This is true of Money, very true in essence and expression. It is more true in knowledge – Education. It is true in all life, in Power, Truth, Goodness, Love and Beauty. Only in Money it can be seen easily. The enormous Money that is created in real estate in India, in speculation in the West is drawn from this inexhaustible Source.
This is indestructible wealth as its power is inherent.
As it grows by spending, there is no way of destruction.
