Hello Readers, Before meeting Dadashri my whole life was focused on earning money. Well that may be the case for most of us. Isn’t it? In this issue, let’s understand the science governing ‘Money’ – whether it can be earned through Hard-work or use of intellect? May be there is something in this context which cannot be perceived through ordinary thinking. Everyone likes profit, but no one likes loss. How does the mechanism of profit and loss work? Dadashri’s deep insight revealing this principle is unparallel which aims to direct the use of money in the right sense. A strange but unique incident occurred in the life of Mr. Alfred Nobel which made him take a U-turn and shift his attitude for making better use of money. So let us learn and remember that earning is a by-product of learning.

nce there lived a poor woman and Oher son in a small village. One day there was a festival in the village

and all the kids, including the poor boy, were playing together. It was a custom that people in the village celebrate that particular day by preparing and eating Kheer (cooked rice with milk and sugar). All the boys, except the poor boy, enjoyed their homemade delicacy ‘Kheer’ that they had brought with them. The poor boy felt the desire to eat but he did not have it. He felt sad and ran home to his mother. He told her that he wanted to eat heer and Kwanted her to cook it for him. His mother said that she would not be able to make it because they were poor and lacked the basic ingredients required for it. The boy started crying and kept on demanding Kheer adamantly. The mother felt paind as she could not bear to see him cry. With a

heavy heart she went to a neighbor’s house and borrowed some milk, sugar, and rice and prepared Kheer for her son. She served him Kheer in a bowl and left the house to bring some water from the well.

As the boy was about to start eating, he heard the words, “Dharma Labha” (meaning, ‘may you be blessed with

punya-karma’. This phrase is usually spoken by Jain Sadhus and Sädhvis when they move around door to door to collect food from the residents living

nearby. They call it ‘Gochari’). He saw a Jain S a d h u a t t h e d o o r . W i t h o u t a n y hesitation, the hungry boy invited the monk in the house and offered him the Kheer. He poured all the Kheer into the monk’s empty bowl. In his next life he was born as ‘Shalibhadra’ and his parents were

‘Bhadra Shethäni’ and ‘Gobhadra Sheth’. His life was full of riches and heavenly pleasures. While Shalibhadra was still a young boy his father renounced the world to become a monk. His mother provided him all the comforts and luxury. It was said that even the heavenly beings were jealous of his lavish lifestyle. The moral of the story is that any act or deed committed with good intentions is bound to form punya karmas.

Dadashri says “ Apne koi ne sukh apiye tou apanne sukh

maley and dukh apiye tou dukh maley” meaning if we cause

happiness to others, we will in turn receive happiness for

ourselves in manifolds. If we give sufferings to other, we get

sufferings. It is the intention behind the act that is

important.

called Ronak and told him : “Look after everyone in the house.” “Yes father; you please don’t worry.” After his father’s death, Ronak shouldered all the responsibility of the factory as well as household. Three-four years passed away very well. Thereafter, due to stiff competition in the market, his factory earned less profit. In spite of his efforts, Ronak was unable to increase his profits. Experienced Mansukhbhai, who had been working in the factory, together with Ashwinbhai, noticed Ronak and told

him :” Today the output of the

goods that we get through our machines

and workers also brings on lot of wastage. If we can

control that, it will make a difference for sure.”

“All that is okay, but I believe that if we have to face competition, we will

have to make some smart moves. How long can we cling on to old methods?” said Ronak. “What have you thought about this?”questioned Mansukhbhai. “I am working on it and I will let you know soon.” Ronak promptly replied. They both parted.

How did this happen?

On Sunday night around 10:30 p.m. Ronak visited Mansukhbhai suddenly. After a long time there was a smile of victory on his face. “Tomorrow morning Malay will be coming from Mumbai to check the goods of our factory which are for export.” “Yes, I am aware. I shall reach the factory early.” replied Mansukhbhai. “NO, you don’t have to come to the factory tomorrow morning. Only, you have to take good care of Malay!” Saying this Ronak pulled out an envelope from his pocket and gave it to Mansukhbhai. “Take this. There is some cash for you and Malay. Take him to a 5-star hotel and both of you enjoy yourselves.” It was difficult for Mansukhbhai to swallow Ronak’s plan, so impatiently he enquired, “But what about inspection?” “For that formality, you bring him to the office for an hour in the evening. I will handle the rest.” instructed Ronak. The next day, after completing all his requirements, Mansukhbhai brought Malay to the office. “Welcome, welcome, Malay saheb … So, how was the day? Tell me, how can I serve you?” saying this Ronak got up from his chair. “Er…. Let me check the goods for export..I’ll have to put the ‘quality passed’ stamp on them. The container is ready-said Ronak Once you stamp the goods, we can start loading them”. Mansukhbhai was stunned and like a puppet silently watched the entire scenario and the new happenings in the factory, while the containers came out of the factory after being loaded.

Thus, with this new system, the factory started working with full intensity. Some years passed. Stepping up on the ladder of fraud and cheating, Ronak was adding his profits. One day Mansukhbhai’s mobile rang early in the morning. It was Ronak’s disturbed voice instructing him to rush to the factory as a fire had broken out. “What? When? How d id i t happen?”manshukhbhai inquired But the phone got disconnected from the other end. Now Mansukhbhai was in silent contemplation… “Have the goods been loaded on the container of Nature’s justice? On arriving at the factory he found that the fire brigade had arrived and were busy extinguishing the fire, but finally 70-75% goods were destroyed in the blaze. On seeing this, Ronak broke down completely. He thought about it again and again. How did all this happen?

Ronak and Malay shook hands; Ronak passed an envelope containing money to Malay who signed the necessary documents.

Let us see what Dadashri has to say about this...


Questioner: Due to what reason does shortage of money happen?

Dadashri: Due to theft. “Laxmiji's” bounty is present when one does not rob through thoughts , words or action. Obstruction of Laxmiji is due to robbing others. Cheating and Laxmiji don't go together. When materialistic robbing stops, one is born in a noble family. But in case of subtle form of theft, i.e, when one cheats and robs, through tricks or manipulation, this is “raudra dhyan” and it results in being born in the lowest realm. When you overstretch the fabric whilst measuring it for the customer, you are doing hard “raudra dhyan “You should not do trickery. “ This is pure stuff”, you say so and feel happy whilst handing over adulterated stuff. This is cheating. When you point out saying “how can you do such a thing”, he would reply “this is what everybody does”. But the one who believes in honest dealing, he should say: “My intention is to sell pure stuff, but this is what I have at present, so take it if you want”. If you admit this, then you are not at fault. Every day people commit “artdhyan and “raudra dhyan”. Therefore, you will get meager wealth. Bhagwan has said that 'Flow of luxmi' will increase where there is “dharma

dhyan” and will decrease where there is “artdhyan” and “raudra dhyan”. You will obtain wealth only if you have that to your credit through, righteous deeds of the past birth. “Laxmi” is always there, but you have created your own hurdles so you remain less fulfilled. When you will nurture good intentions, you will gain true wealth. How can you hope to amass wealth with your immoral thoughts? I’ll-begotten 'Laxmi' will pinch you all over and will melt away causing & sufferings.

uestioner: But today people are in Qneed of money…

Dadashri: Yes. But does that mean that they should resort to deceit and trickery? One should put in efforts, but intentions should be clean. Just as the flow of water is natural, so is the nature of 'Laxmi', and when the time is due 'she' walks away. At such time, if you spoil your intent and try to snatch by deceit, How would the end result be?

The inventor of dynamite.Nobel amassed a fortune during his lifetime, with most of his wealth coming from his 355 inventions, of which dynamite is the most famous. Nobel invested in oil exploration business of his brothers and amassed great wealth through the development of new oil regions. During his life Nobel had established some 90 odd armaments factories.

n 1888, Alfred's brother Ludvig died but the Inewspaper erroneously published Alfred's obituary (incorrect death report). It

condemned him for his invention of dynamite and is said to have brought about his decision to leave a better legacy after his death. The obituary stated, Le marchand de la mort est mort ("The merchant of death is dead") and went on to say, "Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday. Alfred was disappointed with what he read and made him apprehensive about how he would be remembered. This inspired him to change his will.Nobel's last will specified that bulk of his fortune be used to create a series of prizes for those who confer the "greatest benefit on mankind" in physics, chemistry, physiology or

Swedish and Norwegian committees in recognition of academic, cultural and/or scientific advances. The prizes in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and Peace were first awarded in 1901 with inclusion of Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences later on. The Nobel prize was made of the mixture of gold and silver with 24 carat or 4.8 g gold coating. Between 1901 and 2012, the Nobel Prizes and the Prize in Economic Sciences have been consistently awarded to various people and organizations and is widely regarded as the most prestigious award.

nce there lived two friends in a Ovillage - One a landlord and the other a businessman.

The landlord usually had his coterie of friends around him (kusang) and was into the habit of drinking and gambling. One day he lost heavily whist gambling and his financial condition deteriorated. He lost his home, business, everything and virtually became bankrupt. He was in desperate need of financial assistance. He approached his noble friend – 'the high profile businessman' to seek his assistance. The businessman listened to the whole story of his collapse and advised him to stay calm for few months. He told him –“Right now my position is also tight. I will inform you when I have financial surplus with me. Till such time

contact me after 6 months again and let me see what can I manage for you in the meantime!” After 6 months the landlord again r e t u r n e d f o r f i n a n c i a l h e l p . T h e businessman again inquired as to what happened this time with the goats! He informed that this time around there were 10 babies born to them but only 3 could survive. The bus inessman once aga in excused himself, Now this landlord got upset. He thought, This man has so much money but still he is not giving me. He doubted his intentions to help him out. But as he was in a tight spot he didn't have any choice. He obeyed the instructions again. After a period of six months he returned. This time he was beaming with joy and there was a sign of happiness on his face. When asked he replied, “I don't know how the time went by. The goats reproduced 10 babies and all of them survived. Most of my time was consumed in their nourishment through the day.” “Excellent” – the businessman shouted in excitement. “Tell me how much money you need to do your business? The landlord was stunned. He didn't expect any financial help. He had been chasing him for long and this man was not lending. How was it that all of a sudden he was willing to lend? The businessman finally explained to his landlord friend – “The reason behind this is that now your 'time' had changed for better. Earlier there were no survivors from goat's babies for initial 6 months.

you do one thing: I have a small farm-house on village outskirt. You stay there for some time. Take some cattle along”! He also gave him 10 goats to take care of. After 6 months, the landlord once again came to his businessman friend and asked if he could lend him some money to start a new business. The businessman asked, “First tell me what have you done during these 6 months?” The landlord replied that most of his time passed by taking the goats to the farms for their food and nourishment. They reproduced and gave birth to 10 new-born babies. But unfortunately none of them survived. They all died over a period of time. “ H m m ” - T h e b u s i n e s s m a n responded. “You do one thing. Please

The wise thing is that during such time one should take up a job or some alternative means of income and try to keep low profile.

ada's Janma Jayanti at DGandhidham was approaching. One day, a meeting was held at

the GNC office for allotting work. My name propped up in ‘Bal Vignan Bookstall’ department. I thought that I would have to sell books and CDs. Instead I was told to take up full responsibility of the entire department! How would I be able to manage this? I prayed to Dada for 'Shakti'. On reaching the Janma Jayanti venue many thoughts were raging through my mind and things started happening. This was Dada's grace on me. Right from little children to adult 'Sevarthis', all put in their efforts and a beautiful area was set up. Among them there were several experienced senior citizens and I was hesitant whether they would accept my instructions. I needed a low ego, remain polite and don't thrust my ideas on them, All the volunteers provided unselfish service heartily. This resulted in good feedback from visitors as well as 'Mahatmas'. They watched the demonstrations calmly and took back some interesting lessons with them. Thus, my work and management at Gandhidham Janma Jayanti ended successfully. After some time I was told to prepare a report of the sale. Before this event, I had never handled expenses running into lakhs of rupees. In such

cases, one normally finds a difference of Rs.1000/- or Rs.2000/-. Whilst tallying in my case there was a big difference. I remained positive and informed this deficiency. I was confident that I would be able to solve the problem. I didn't slip into depression and again I prayed to Dada to give me 'Shakti' and show me the way. I got a response from within me telling me that since I was taking false

pride whilst doing 'Seva' and taking all credit for myself for completion of all tasks, so I had to suffer this blame and punishment alone! I then recalculated with a cool mind. Finally I found a small mistake in an accounts entry into debit column and rectified the same. I gained confidence that I can also manage to do some accounting work. Henceforth, I shall never be afraid of accepting my ‘Seva’ in any department. Besides, I will never be boastful while doing ‘Seva’ and applaud other’s contribution to the project equally important. That is the key to achieve success!

Coming And Going of Laxmiji - the Goddess of Wealth (money)

After that, one who does not have to do physical work, instead needs to do work with speech, like lawyers, shows that they have more merit karmas than those for the earlier one. And what's better than that? No hassles of even speech, no hassles of body, but earns from mental work. He is called morePunyashali(one with more merit karmas) and what is still better than that?

cannot happen. Minimal effort, at least, is required. To delve constantly about making money is a bad habit. It is like giving a daily steam bath to a person with fever. There is an initial temporary relief, so he becomes habituated to it. The fever will come down, but the cause of the fever has not been treated so that it returns every day. Likewise, running after money is futile. If you become obsessed with money, then you will become restless. Money roams and so will you. One should never become obsessed with money. It is the highest raudra dhyan (adverse internal meditation that hurts the person having it and also others around). It is not artdhyan (adverse meditation hurting only the person having it), because although a person may have food and everything else in his home, he still has expectations of more wealth. When a person runs after money, other people are deprived of their share of the wealth. Do not do anything that will create shortage for others. Do not break the proportion of the distribution of wealth in a way that will cause shortage for others. Otherwise, you will be liable. If money comes to you spontaneously, then you are not liable. You may get five thousand or even fifty thousand rupees spontaneously, but once it comes to you, you cannot detain it or obstruct it from leaving. What is the natural law of money? It says, 'Do not detain and hoard me. Circulate me. Give away as much as comes your way'.

Questioner: Many big businessmen of Bombay accumulate money taken under the table, What effect will this bring on them?Dadashri: With black money, one binds bad karma and will spend a life in the animal kingdom.

How much thought should you give to your business? You should think about your business as long as your thoughts remain manageable.

am trying to say. Doing this will prevent many people binding demerit karma.When people set up a business they look for profit. They will say we are guaranteed a profit of twenty-four thousand in this project. Now when they forecast these figures, they do not take into account changes in circumstances. They never deduct the losses from such proposals.

I have been a contractor all my life and have been involved in all kinds of contracts. Amongst such contracts, we have even built jetties in the sea. Let me tell you what I used to do in the beginning. Wherever there was a scope of making a profit of five hundred thousand rupees, I used to say to myself that it would be enough even if we made a profit of one hundred thousand rupees. In the end, even if we had enough to pay taxes and the daily expenses and broke even, that would be adequate profit. The profit would be of around three hundred thousand. This would keep the mind satisfied and content because we made way more profit than was expected. Here people expect a profit of forty thousand and get only twenty. Surely they are bound to be unhappy!

If someone were to ask what religion he should practise in his business, I would tell him that he should follow these three principles: 1) Ethical practice! The flow of money may increase or decrease. Never become unethical. 2) Maintain an obliging nature. If you do not have any money, at least ask people if you can be of any help to them.

You can run errands for them instead. This is called an obliging nature. 3) Do not ever harbor any desire of expecting something in return for what you do for others. The whole world has expectations in return for services they render; whether you wish it or not, you will be rewarded. There is always a reaction to every action. Your desires are nothing but actually begging on your part. They go to waste.

Display the following statements prominently in your shop: 1) Enjoy the present - do not worry about what is not in front of you. 2) The fault is of the sufferer 3 ) D i s h o n e s t y i s t h e b e s t foolishness.

GREED PERPETUATES WORLDLY LIFE AFTER LIFEQuestioner :Dada, is there a difference between a stingy fellow and a thrifty person.Dadashri :Yes, a tremendous difference. If you earn a thousand rupees a month, then you should keep an expense account of eight hundred rupees, and if your income is five hundred rupees then you should have an expense account of four hundred rupees. That is called thriftiness. A miser, however will spend four hundred rupees only, whether his income is a thousand or two thousand rupees. He would not use a taxi. Thriftiness is economics. It helps maintain awareness of future financial difficulties. People despise a miser the moment they see him, whereas people do not feel that way about a thrifty man.

to earn lot of money and also spend a lot. What should I do?

the same: Dadashri says that you get money by 'punya' [credit of good deeds from your past birth] and this can only be achieved by giving happiness to every living creature. So, first of all, stop giving slightest pain to anyone by your thoughts, words or action. By giving happiness to others you develop your 'punya', and due to that you receive wealth. Then, for getting more money you don't have to study hard or do hard work. In the same way, if you want prestige, you want to earn a good name in the world, you have to do such deeds. If you have to your credit 'Yashnam Karma' from your past life, you gain prestige. If your intent is always to do good of the people, the nature will take you ahead till you reach the top of the ladder. If you do not misuse your 'seat' then people will praise you and call you 'great'. If money is used for noble purpose, only then its usage can be considered justified. Otherwise, if lots of money is spent on splurging after one's luxurious life style delusions, then in the next birth he will be born a beggar. So, if you intend to use money, do so for good helpful purpose, only then it would be worthy. Even if you serve your mother father and guru heartily, you will earn high rewards. You will gain money and prestige in society.

Gnani An Idol Of Astonishment

nce an American lady came to visit Dada for the first time. She observed Niruma doing ODada's 'Seva' and casually enquired, “Dada, who is she?” Dada replied, “She is my disciple.” She asked again, “How is she relating with you?” Dada replied, “Generally,

how do people relate with me?” It's two bodies and one soul. Whereas, with Niruma it is relationship of one body and two souls. Such is the oneness with me. Mahatmas often wondered that we have worshipped Dada as Gnani but we have never felt that oneness with Dada as Niruma. Dada used to explain that it is due to ‘Roonanubamdh” of past life -meaning link with past birth resulting into this unique relationship with Niruma. Dada used to constantly tell Niruma, “Since so many lives we have been together and we will achieve ‘Moksh’ (salvation) together. So we don’t need any introduction in any particular life. It will happen in a Natural way and will be instantly recognized. introduction; on its own we get recognized.
