Often failure people have a very negative view of money. In their opinion, every rich person is characterless and criminal. I would like to tell you that most of the crime in society grows in the habitations of failure and unsuccessful people.
Immorality also dances among those who live in despair and frustration. The words, such as crime, characterlessness, disappointment, accusation, complaining, lying and doubts, are found in the dictionary of people of negative life only, and permanent success can never be imagined with these defects and negative visions. Success in life can only be achieved through a positive lifestyle only. The science of money is not only a science of infinite wealth and happiness, but it is also a science of positive life and purity. I have an unwavering belief that every successful person is close to God because he understands not only the divine message but also travels throughout the life on that path only.
Please note that all negative sentences like “money is a scam of money” or “money is the cause of all evils” or “one cannot be rich without indulging in crime” or “one should spread foot as long as he has his bed sheet” should be removed from your life forever. As long as you are not favourable for money, you cannot attract it. The truth is that some people with distorted mentality have always dissected the meanings of positive sentences to maintain their influence on most of the people of the society, and the naive people are perplexing the meaning. If you are committed to your positive life vision, you should avoid these perverse sentences and remember always the correct and self-proven sentences because these positive statements are not only part of the conversation but also the rules of positive and purposeful life:
| Negative life vision | positive life vision |
| Money is the scum of palms. | Keeping ethics in mind, there is scarcity in every line in the hands of those who do not develop their ability to earn money. |
| Money is the root cause of all evils. | The lack of money is the root cause of all evils. |
| One cannot be rich without indulging in crime. | Without making the life meaningful with positive attitude, and without being sanctified, wealth, one cannot be made. |
| One should spread foot as long as he has his bed sheet only. | Never fold the legs but If necessary add new sheets to your earlier sheet. |
Keep in mind – love and attraction are the natural laws of success. If you do not love money and are not attracted to it, you can neither attract money nor earn it. Similarly, if you do not enjoy your success and are not attracted to your success, you can never succeed in life. By saying something bad, we can never make it for ourselves. The truth is that money is as pure and divine as the ‘Ganges Jal’ (Water of Holy river Ganga) for an Indian. Only your unholy feeling for that money corrupts it. Therefore, we have to do surgery not of ‘money,’ but of our ‘contaminated emotion and negative thinking.’
I understand that till now, we have correctly assimilated the definite meaning of success and positive thinking towards money. If you agree with these things, it is a suitable time to come again to the title of this halt, because, after the correct meaning of success, Kapil Ji’s direct question was, “what is the ‘Lace of Richness’ and how can we measure our richness?” I am sure that you too will be eager to know the answer to this question and your mind will be speaking ‘KHUL JA SIM-SIM’ so that the curtain of this stage of mystery be risen.
How can the richness be measured?
Kapil Ji was listening being spellbound, and I had been feeling that with this conversation, his general ideology got disintegrated and started creating new images on the new canvas. Every word of that conversation was outside of the world of his faith till now, but he was experiencing a new hope in himself by becoming the hero of this new incredible world of faith.
“Kapil Ji, now I am returning to your present circumstances.” I said, “You said that your current income is twenty-five thousand rupees per month and you feel that if you continue to work as an employee, you will have to face financial pressure because you do not have any other option of living. If you are ready to bear a little extra pressure for a little while for your golden future then not only you will be more secure but in the unbreakable wall of future, you will be able to open an entry to move from life of this disappointing job of an employee to the life of hope and full enjoyment and ultimate satisfaction.”
Whatever I told to Kapil Ji, it is also necessary for you. That’s why I am talking to Kapil Ji and even to you simultaneously. I hope not only Kapil Ji, but also you will be eager to know what is the Lace of Richness and how we can measure our richness. If Kapil Ji can take a little financial pressure and tolerate the first payment of each month and start paying himself only five thousand rupees from the accumulated amount of twenty-five thousand rupees, he will have his asset of five thousand of rupees immediately and if he continues with such making of monthly asset of five thousand for a year, at the end of the year, he will have his asset amounting to sixty thousand rupees. And if he has invested these savings in a planned manner as recurring deposits then he can earn an additional amount of five thousand rupees as a further installment provided by the bank as interest on deposit at the end of the year.
In this period of one year, Kapil Ji, with a little economic pressure, saved twenty percent of his monthly salary of Twenty Five Thousand and he wisely invested his savings in Recurring Deposit. By the end of the year, he created his asset of sixty-five thousand including as additional installments towards interet. Throughout this year, Kapil Ji spent his life according to the economic level of twenty thousand rupees per month.
This means that after one year, if Kapil Ji leaves his old job or if there is no source of wealth available to him for any other reason, even then he can continue living at his current level of twenty thousand rupees per month for three months and one week. And so, we can say that the said technique prolonged Kapil Ji’s richness for ‘three months and a week.’
I was also told that his boss receives one Lac rupees per month as salary, but he does not save anything of it, so at the end of one year, if he has to leave the job or for any other reason the entire sources of his income expire, his current economic level will be immediately dashed.
This Lace of Richness can not only measure our richness, but this lace also tells us that on many occasions, we are more abundant than the person who has earned more money than us.
At the beginning of this stage, you have read that “This Lace of Richness shall be as long as you can continue to maintain your current level of living without earning. This thing can happen in days, in weeks, in months and even in years.” This is lace of Richness, and it depends on you how long you would like to stretch this lace. If you make a habit of the above-mentioned procedure, there is no doubt that your lace will be longer than your lifetime, and on the day when this lace becomes longer than the rest of the life of the person, that person will sit permanently on the throne of success.
You have seen – how your small but regular savings are converted into a tremendous asset and your Richness is going to lengthen each day.
I am sure – you have been fully prepared for the creation of life with new values and norms, and I am further sure that you are listening to the melody of cracking voice of the shackles of economic precariousness around you.
You should start your new journey fearlessly – I am waiting for you to a new halt at the next turn with a new magic.
