When is earning wealth successful? Days 3 and 4 Guna Katha
The relationship of Gayatri Mantra to Shrimad Bhagavat
Bhagavat, Ramayan and Gita are the essence of Vedas. The scripture, Shrimad Bhagavat, is the expansion of the Gayatri Mantra. Gayatri Mantra is the seed from which Shrimad Bhagavat has been made.
Aum tatsaviturvareṇyaṁ bhargo devasya dhīmahi dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt
We reside the Supreme Being who is our life-breath, the destroyer of sorrows, the best, powerful and the destroyer of sins, in our heart, mind, intellect and ego. May the Supreme Being inspire our intellect on the path of virtuousness and well-being.
Pujya Bhaishri also compared the differences and similarities in the battle to destroy attachment and delusion in the forms of Ravan and Dhitrashtra in the Ramayan and Mahabharat, respectively. Watch this video to learn further.
When is earning wealth successful?
The Lord is the husband of Lakshmiji. This means that the true master of wealth is Lord Narayan Himself. On the contrary, we are all under the false ego on how much wealth we possess. Whatever one has belongs to God and has been given by God.
God gives plenty but when he takes, he takes everything like he did from King Bali. Hence, it is wise to always use your wealth for the service of others and for virtuous as well as charitable purposes. Use wealth for good causes, consume it for oneself but do not misuse it. If you can not use your wealth and power to make someone laugh, then certainly do not use it to make someone cry.
Pujya Bhaishri praises and pleases Lord Shiv with the singing of Rudrashtakam.
