Be Happy - Start Up India Stand Up India.

For some time, the hope for smooth living was not in sight. It appeared that in every wing of administration, government as well as in judiciary and media, everywhere there would not be any solace unless we had some good amount of money in pocket to bribe or spend lavishly, even to get what we rightfully deserved.  Not only on borders, law and order had depreciated within the lanes of the city and villages and our families were always worried if we could come back to home safely and for those who were out of homes for work were equally worried about the safety of their families. There were incidents where the whole family had been looted and/or beaten horribly. The conditions have not changed so much but there is some improvement in sight now. We hope that they would improve further because some awareness towards collective responsibility is coming up.

Still we need to do a lot. Yesterday, after greeting the nation on its 69^th Independence day, the hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi  touched many points of interest and inspiration for the Indians. The highlights of his speech can be mentioned below:

I salute our brave freedom fighters today.

This is the Team that makes the nation and takes our nation to new heights
Be it casteism or communalism, there is no place for them. In no way can they be tolerated

Jan Bhagidari' is the biggest asset of our democracy. "Be it MyGov, letters from citizens, Mann Ki Baat, communication with people...daily Jan Bhagidari is increasing", the PM said.
The poor want to move away from poverty and that is why, all our programmes must be for the poor- PM Modi
Bank accounts are essential for integrating poor into the financial system, 17 crore people opened accounts under Jan Dhan Yojna.
All our programmes and institutions should be helpful to the poor; have to empower them through financial inclusion.
Last time from the Red Fort I spoke about toilets and cleanliness. People wondered what kind of PM is he, talking about these issues.
If there is something that has touched every person, it is the movement towards cleanliness.
Almost 4.25 lakh toilets were built in 2.62 lakh schools nationwide in one year; this gives self-confidence that we can do what we want.
Who has given maximum strength to Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan? It is the children of India.
We have been very successful in our campaign to make toilets, especially for girls in schools across India.

We introduced Shrameva Jayate Yojana. It is an effort to change the way we look at the workers of India.
 Dignity of labour has to be our national duty, it has to be a part of our nature.
 India can be free of corruption but we need lots of measures. We have to start from top.
 Some people like to remain in 'Nirasha'. And they are not satisfied till they have spoken about it to other people.

20 lakh Indians have given up LPG subsidy
Coal block auction has been undertaken by the govt, national exchequer will get Rs 3 lakh crore.
 On the issue of black money, we took a lot of steps within such a short time. We formed a SIT under the SC's guidance the day we took over.
Some people are worried about tough law on black money. It has ensured that nobody dares to take black money out of the country.
 PM makes disclosure that Rs 6500 crores disclosed under compliance window of black money and foreign assets law.
CBI has registered 1800 corruption cases after we formed government.
India cannot develop till the eastern part of India develops.

India will progress if Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha and the north east develop.
Even after so many decades of Independence there are 18,500 villages in India which do not have electricity.

We affirm our commitment to provide electricity to all those villages that do not have electricity.
 Agriculture ministry to be renamed as ministry of agriculture and farmer welfare for institutionalised care of the farmers.This is not just a change in nomenclature of the ministry. This means farmers issues would get prime importance in the ministry's scheme of things.
A new vertical has been created to look after farmers' welfare and to help those farmers who are in distress.
Start up India' and 'Stand up India', PM exerts in his speech.
As part of the Skill India and Digital India initiative, the Prime Minister said a package of incentives will be given to manufacturing units for generating jobs.
Our government has agreed to One Rank One Pension in principle, talks are in last stages.
The Prime Minister reiterated his government's resolve to make India a developed nation by 2022, with a house and access to basic services like electricity, to all. He said the government had resolved to connect with electricity, all the 18,500 villages which still remain without power, within the next 1000 days. He also reiterated his vision for the development of eastern India.
Questioning the practice of interviews for recruitment even at relatively junior levels, the Prime Minister called upon concerned departments to end this practice at the earliest, and to promote merit by recruiting only through transparent, online processes.

He announced a new campaign 'Start-up India; Stand up India' to promote bank financing for start-ups and offer incentives to boost entrepreneurship and job creation. From the Red Fort, he added that each of the 1.25 lakh bank branches should encourage at least one Dalit or Adivasi entrepreneur and at least one woman entrepreneur. He also promised to do away with the current practice of interview-based selections for low-skilled government jobs. More significantly, the Prime Minister announced the 'Start-Up India' initiative, to encourage entrepreneurship among the youth of India. "We are looking at systems for enabling start-ups. We must be number one in start-ups... Start-up India; Stand up India," he said, exhorting all bank branches to fund at least one start-up of tribals and dalits. The initiative, Shri Modi said, would give a new dimension to entrepreneurship and help in setting up a network of start-ups in the country.
As part of the Skill India and Digital India initiative, the Prime Minister said a package of incentives will be given to manufacturing units for generating jobs. Shri Modi also questioned the practice of "interviews" for recruitments even at relatively junior levels and asked departments concerned to end this practice at the earliest and promote merit by recruiting only through transparent, online processes. The Prime Minister reiterated his government's resolve to make India a developed nation by 2022, with a house and access to basic services like electricity to all. Talking about the financial inclusive programme Jan Dhan, he said 17 crore bank accounts were opened. Although these were to be zero-balance accounts, people deposited a whopping Rs 20,000 crore in them, reflecting the "richness of India's poor", he added. The Prime Minister also spoke of the welfare schemes launched by the his government, including Atal Pension Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Yojana, and the schemes launched for labour welfare. He said 10 crore people have enrolled for social security schemes in a mere 100 days. He added that the government has resolved to provide electricity to all the 18,500 villages which still remain without power within the next 1,000 days. He also reiterated his vision for the development of eastern India.

Here some of the announcements made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday during his Independence Day address:

-18,500 villages which still remain without power to be provided electricity in the next 1,000 days.

- Government to club 44 labour laws into four codes to simplify them for the people.

- Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana launched with an outlay of Rs. 50,000 crore.

- Ministry of Agriculture would be renamed as the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare.

- A "Start-Up India" initiative to encourage entrepreneurship among the youth.

- One-Rank, One-Pension accepted "in-principle". Modalities being worked out with stakeholders.

- Boost to financial inclusion with 17 crore bank accounts opened through the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana.

- Scheme for direct transfer of LPG subsidy has resulted in savings of Rs. 15,000 crore.

- Corruption cases probed by CBI have gone up from 800 before NDA government assumed office to 1800 now.

- Each of 1.25 lakh bank branches should encourage at least one Dalit or adivasi entrepreneur and at least one woman entrepreneur.

If we go through the inspiring speech of the Prime Minister on the eve of Independence Day, we feel that he has been able to arouse inspiration in the common man towards the governance. But keeping in view the performance of the bureaucracy for last 68 years, we may not be able to make the hope of improvement so easily and hopefully. There is a need of revamping their attitude through all sorts of the commands. In passage of time, they have joined hands and work in gloves with the corrupt politicians resulting into mismanagement of the resources, deteriorated law and order, unsafe borders and wide-spread corruption.

We will have to change ourselves and bring about the transparency in our income resources and expenses not to evade the taxes. The accumulation of unaccounted for money becomes headache and we start to invest that accumulation unethically. In a study, it is revealed that even those people who do not pay income tax have to pay out about 50 to 65% of their income through indirect taxes/service taxes/excise duties  etc. Though the Governments too are required to rationalize the tax structure to enable every citizen to pay tax smoothly, we are also required to ensure that we may declare our income sincerely.  

Further, we are also required to ensure that we would like to take what we deserve and when we deserve. In case we get something undeserving, we would let it go to the deserving fellow citizens.  The government provides subsidy on many products to make them reach by those who are not able to afford. Those who can afford easily must give up subsidy. At least those who are Income tax payers because of their income must give up subsidy on LPG connections they do have. 20 Lakhs Indians have already given up subsidy on LPG. Likewise subsidy on diesel is primarily meant for farmers for their agricultural activities but our rich fellows use the same for their luxury 4-wheelers. We are having reservation in jobs for some classes of society. They are enjoying the same in spite of the fact they have in course of time become well-to-do families but still seek reservation. Such privileges will have to be given up voluntarily in interest of the nation, in interest of those Indians who really deserve. Unless we do not sacrifice the excess with us, we can not expect the other ones to do so.

The Prime Minister has exhorted all the Indians to work like a team and with the Team India of 125 crores Indians, we can make the miracles. Since we made in past and showed to the world, we can repeat the same now also not only for being happy in the rest of our life but leave behind a better India for next generations too. We all need to work hard with all the sincerity at heart for the nation. We need to be happy and for which, we must work hard.

Be Happy – Start Up India, Stand Up India

Be Happy - We may start making of World as a Happy Family.

Be Happy  - We may start making of World as a Happy Family.

Today I find that there was a post from  Francois Gautier on 26 March at 09:48  mentioning that facebook has deleted his article, “Are Hindus Cowards” His grievances are true because the contents are speaking something true and the truth is found not easily acceptable. FB might be afraid of attacks from those who do not agree with the contents. What he posted on my wall is reproduced herebelow.

He writes - Face Book deleted my article "Are Hindus Cowards"; because of 'inappropriate content'! Do you think that is fair? the ISIS and Al Qaeda use freely Internet, Twitter and FB for their murderous purposes, but when you dare say that there is a problem with Islam, as I have personally witnessed a journalist, in Kashmir, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, you are censored. I am reposting the article below. You judge. FG

ARE HINDUS COWARDS?

Someone wrote today in the face of the growing attacks on Mr Modi at the hands of the Christians, who are creating fake incidents and Mr Narendra Modi’s muted response, that “A dark fear is growing in our minds that we Hindus cannot rule. The art of ruling requires special upbringing, grooming and attitude besides guts and courage.And this raises the question: are Hindus good people, but nevertheless cowards?

“Muslims are bullies and Hindus cowards”, the Mahatma Gandhi once said. He was right – at least about Hindus: there has been in the past 1400 years, since the first invasions started, very few Shivaji Maharaj’s and Rana Pratap’s to fight the bloody rule of the Moghuls, or hardly any Rani of Jhansi’s to stand against the humiliating colonial yoke of the British. If a nation’s soul is measured by the courage of its children, then India is definitely doomed: without the Sikhs, whose bravery is unparalleled in the more recent history of India, Hindus would have even lost additional land to the Muslim invaders and there would have been infinitely more massacres of Hindus by Muslims during the first weeks of Partition. Are Hindus more courageous since they have an independent nation (thanks - not to the non-violence of Gandhi – but to the true nationalists, such as Sri Aurobindo and Tilak, who prepared the ground for the Mahatma at the beginning of the century)? Not at all! Because of Nehru’s absurd and naïve “hindi-chini-bhai-bhai” policy, the Indian army was shamefully routed in 1962 by the Chinese, a humiliation which rankles even today. Beijing is still able to hoodwink Indian politicians, by pretending it has good intentions, through the interviews the Chinese leaders very generously give to the Hindu newspaper (which should rightly be called the “anti-Hindu”) and Frontline (“the mouthpiece in India for the Chinese communist party”), while quietly keeping on giving nuclear know-how to Pakistan, as well as the missiles to carry their atomic warheads to Indian cities, arm separatists groups in the north-east and continuing to claim Arunachal Pradesh or Sikkim. Everywhere in the world, Hindus are hounded, humiliated, routed, be it in Fiji where, an elected democratic government was deposed in an armed coup, or in Pakistan and Bangladesh, where Muslims indulge in pogroms against Hindus every time they want to vent their hunger against India (read Taslima Nasreen’s book “Lalja”). In Kashmir, the land of yogis, where Hindu sadhus and sages have meditated for 5000 years, Hindus have been chased out of their ancestral home by death, terror and intimidation: there were 25% of Hindus at the beginning of the century in the Kashmir valley… and hardly a handful today.

And this is exactly what happened in Bombay, after the Ayodya mosque was brought down by Hindu militants : Muslims, angry of the “terrible” affront done to Islam, started pelting the police with stones and burning shops; but unfortunately for the Muslims, who have made of riots an art (please read the passages of the Koran which deal with riots as part of jihad), they found that for once, the Hindus under the leadership of the Shiv Sena, retaliated blow for blow – an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth – as the Israelis, who have been so long at the receiving end of Muslim bullying, say so well. It is not for us to condone violence: but how long can the Hindus be the butt of killings and persecution, be sacrificial lambs that meekly go to slaughter ? For in a way, Gandhi was right: Muslims are bullies, they have bullied India and they continue to bully Hindu India, as Pakistan demonstrates time and again by shelling in Kashmir, which make the US apply time and again pressure on India to ‘negotiate’ with Pakistan. Remember how Musharraf deceived New Delhi by receiving a well-meaning, but naïve Vajpayee at Lahore, while its soldiers were quietly invading the heights above Kargil.

The truth is that there are two standards in India: one for the Hindus; and one for the Muslims. Did the “fanatic” Hindus who brought down Ayodhya (and brought shame onto secular India, according to the Indian media) kill or even injure anyone in the process? No. But Muslims do not have such qualms. When Gandhi said they were bullies, he was being very nice or very polite. For forget about the millions of Hindus killed during the ten centuries of Muslim invasions, probably the worst Holocaust in world history; forget about the hundreds of thousands of Hindu temples razed to the ground, whose destruction - whatever our “secular” Hindus of today say - was carefully recorded by the Muslims themselves, because they were proud of it (see Aurangzeb’s own chronicles); forget about the millions of Hindus forcibly converted to Islam, and who sadly are now rallying under a banner, a language, a scripture which have nothing to do with their own ethos and culture. Yesterday and also today, when the Muslim world feels it has been slighted, in even a small measure by Hindus, these Infidels, who submitted meekly to Muslim rule for ten centuries, it retaliates a hundred fold – this is the only way one intimidates cowards. After Ayodhya, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia (at least in a passive way by giving shelter for a while to Tiger Memon) with the help of Indian Muslims, planted bombs in the heart of Bombay and killed a thousand innocent human beings, most of them, once more, Hindus. Tomorrow, Pakistan might wage, with the blessing of the Muslim word, the ultimate jihad against India, which if necessary, will utilise the ultimate weapon, nuclear bombs. For has not the Koran said “'Choose not thy friends among the Infidels till they forsake their homes and the way of idolatry. If they return to paganism then take them whenever you find them and kill them” (Koran 98:51-9:5-4:89) ?

Unfortunately for India, the British, when they were here, had created an intellectual elite, to act as a go-between themselves and the “natives”, which today, thanks to the Nehruvian culture of successive Congress governments, looks at its own country, not by means of its own Indian eyes, but through a western prism, as fashioned by the white colonizers and the missionaries. These « Brown Shahibs », these true children of Macaulay, the « secular » politicians, the journalists, the top bureaucrats, in fact the whole westernised cream of India are very critical of anything Hindu. And what is even more paradoxical, is that 98% of them are Hindus ! It is they, who upon getting independence, have denied India its true identity and borrowed blindly from the British education system, without trying to adapt it to the unique Indian mentality and psychology; and it is they who are refusing to accept a change of India’s education system, which is totally western-oriented and is churning out machines, learning by heart boring statistics which are of little usefulness in life. And what India is getting from this education is a youth which apes the West : they go to Mac Donald’s, thrive on MTV culture, wear the latest Klein jeans and Lacoste T Shirts, and in general are useless, rich parasites, in a country which has so many talented youngsters who live in poverty. They will grow-up like millions of other western clones in the developing world, who wear a tie, read the New York Times and swear by liberalism and secularism to save their countries from doom. In time, they will reach elevated positions and write books and articles which make fun of their own country, ridicule the Narendra Modi’s of India and preside human-right committees, be “secular” high bureaucrats who take the wrong decisions and generally do tremendous harm to India, because it has been programmed in their genes to always run down their own country. It is said that a nation has to be proud of itself to move forward - and unless there is a big change in this intellectual elite, unless it is more conscious of its heritage and of India’s greatness, which has begun to happen in a small way, it is going to be very difficult for India to emerge as a real 21st century superpower.
One would be tempted to say in conclusion : “Arise ô Hindus, stop being cowards, remember that a nation requires Kshatriyas, warriors, to defend Knowledge, to protect one’s women and children, to guard one’s borders from the Enemy”…. And do Indians need a Narendra Modi to remind them of that simple truth ? FRANCOIS GAUTIER (*) This is no to say that all Muslims are fanatics; on the contrary, many of India’s Muslims are extremely gentle and their sense of hospitality unsurpassed. The same thing can be said about Pakistan: Pakistani politicians, for instance, are much more accessible than in India and Pakistan has its own identity, which cannot be wished away. No, the problem is not with Muslims, whether they are Indians or Pakistanis, the problem is with Islam, which teaches Indian Muslims from an early age, to look beyond their national identity to a country - the Mecca, in Saudi Arabia - which is not their country, to read a Scripture which is not written in their own language, to espouse a way of thinking, which is inimical to their own roots and indigenous culture. Indian Muslims, have to think of themselves first as Muslims and secondly only as Muslims. Muslim soldiers fighting against Pakistan in Kargil, have shown the way.

Whatever Francois Gautier wrote, he tried to show mirror to the communities concerned. Rajat Kumar Chakrabarti’s comments on the same page are there. He writes, “ Fantastic FG. Hat's off to you for this superb article. In my 90 years of life , went through 1942 "Bharat Chharo" Andolon, Great Calcutta Killing in 1946, Bombing of calcutta in 1941, famine during the war and last but not the least Partition refugees in Sealdah station, families picking up food from dustbins to feed their children. Had there been a few more men like "Late Balashaeb Thakre " and born earlier Hindus condition would not have been so bad as it stands today with spineless  leaders.

But I would like to add that instead of leading the world in the directions we have so far been following, should we not revisit our own attitude? The Prime Minister of India, Mr.Narendra Modi has repeatedly mentioned that he has been working and would now be continuing to work for the welfare of all the 125 crores Indians. No particular religion/caste will make any special mention in his efforts to modify. And the “Indians” word refers to all those who inhabit in India and except those who follow Hinduism, other inhabitants are either themselves converts to other religions or their forefathers might have changed their religion under some threat or greed but their DNA is still not different. For example, Indian Muslims are fighting bravely against Pakistani Muslims at Kargil or somewhere else. Our Muslim players show their sportsmanship fully not only against their Pakistani counterparts but muslim players from other countries as well. Mr.Jinnah’s stand of Two States for Two Religions at the time of Partition of India has miserably failed in course of time. As far as in free India the policies so far followed are concerned, they have not been found to be very much favouring Hinduism because our politicians so far followed their vote bank policy of dividing the inhabitants into different groups. India may soon adopt uniform policy of development for all of its inhabitants without granting any special privileges to any community or class on any ground.

Now there is some change in India but out of India, we find that much of the politics being followed is afraid of terrorism whether it is being practiced by Muslims or any other. That requires changes. Should we not change our attitude now towards religion by applying our brain power to find out the way to have mental peace for all? Religion as we generally understand is nothing but a set of beliefs based on the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs. In course of time, we found that the religions which have come into existence have somewhat same messages what one religion has but the other has made some modifications. But their interpretations have been changed and the conflicts have arisen. This proves that the code of conducts defined under different religions have utterly failed to bring about peace and happy life on the earth. We should put aside all the codes so far defined in the name of the religions and write down afresh code of conduct for the sake of humanity. It appears that it may not be possible as the so called heads of Religions and the people who trade in arms, may not permit for the fear that their shops may have to be closed down. But we will have to speak out against terrorism whether it is directed against one religion or more. Those who may try to keep silence for any fear would be wiped out soon. Better, we may die fighting against the misrule than to die as cowards. We will have to work even forcefully to achieve the task of making the world as Religion Free World.

Be Happy  - We may start making of World as a Happy Family.

Be Happy – Live Like Kingsize.

“Live Like Kingsize”, it is just a proverb. It has nothing to do with “King” as in the present era of democracy, Kings are generally not there. We call a person to be king if he spends lavishly on his needs, whether they are his basic needs or they are his social needs. Kingsize means like a king. In old times, when there were kings of the different states, they were stated to be spending as they wished. Like today, there were no rules and regulations, no audits, no controls etc. – they could spend anything for any cause. At that time, the subjects were there to bear the burnt if the treasury got empty. Against the king’s whims, nothing was to stay important.

Today, time has changed. The monarchic

era has come to an end and we are living in the time of democracy (with few exceptions). The head of the State is elected by the people for a limited period. He/she works according to the laws already laid down with permission to bring about the additions/modification to implement the policies upon which he or she is elected. There are various forms of economic systems being followed. Some countries follow capitalism in which the governments have minimum control over business activities whereas some countries follow mixed economy by having some controls. Some other countries control the financial activities fully.

Living like kingsize has better chances in capitalism and good chances in mixed economy. It has positive notion to the extent that the people try to give up the usual tensions and enjoy the life whenever they get an opportunity or some spare time. A step ahead, those people who believe in this concept, make efforts to get off the tensions at the earliest so that they are able to enjoy afterwards. In other words, they endeavor to have spontaneous dedication to the task they take up so that as early they finish, they will like to enjoy afterwards. Some people do the work joyfully. Such people really live like kingsize.

Sometime, we may feel frustrated with what is happening around us. We may feel that everything is going wrong or at least, not as we wished for. We may feel that our efforts are going waste, our energy and our time with our investment too. But it is not the ultimate. We must not get stuck in hoping things will change - instead get on with the business of being the change we wish to see unfold in our life. Friend, we have got what it takes, but make no mistake; it has to start with our decision to take action.

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence. After every night, there is a day. At the end of a tunnel, we usually find a ray of light. If for some reason, we find ourselves to be in mid of many troubles, that does not mean that those troubles will remain always there. Sometime, troubles make us aware of the circumstances why they have come about, if they are there in result of our wrong decisions and/or we have mismatched our resources with our targets.

Similarly, poverty is a choice that we make everyday without our active knowledge.  It's the choice to be uncreative, feel limited in resources, thinking inside the box, smaller than life, deeply powerless, incapable of receiving love, and not believing that anything is possible.  Poverty thinking is a disease and an unconscious choice that is based in the ignorance of our true power.  This unawareness is the one deciding factor as to whether someone continues to remain broke and struggling for another year, or starts to shift their energy into receiving a new source of income next week.

The moment we choose to believe in any poverty based thought, we start thinking more small, limited and negative thoughts about life.  It has a snowball affect to it, where we begin to attract more limiting thoughts based in that misunderstanding.  When negative thinking becomes our habit, we begin to invent thoughts that support our old poverty minded thoughts.  The repetitive cycle of poverty thinking is a social disease that festers and feeds upon itself. 

Every time we identify with the poverty mindset in other person who thinks there is "not enough", we slowly inherit and mirror their disease.  By accepting the limiting beliefs of others, we forget our original abundant nature, and stop realizing who we really are, are all-powerful beings.  The moment we can understand the foundational lie that poverty is based upon, and take full responsibility for the suffering we are creating through our choices, then we can begin choosing a new path and acting from a new mindset to create a new world.

It's good to know that poverty thinking is not our original nature. Our real inherent nature has no boundaries or limitations on what is possible and what isn't. This original abundant mind is something we were born with, and is rooted in knowing that we are all absolutely loved, free and totally abundant.  Poverty consciousness is a limiting mindset that was inherited by our community in order to be accepted, fit in, and welcomed into the social norm. We often would rather be accepted by others than seen as an outcast who is believing they are bigger, better and richer.  If our friends, family and community never had any poverty thoughts on any level, we wouldn't have it either.  We would only know how to be creative in ways where we think anything is possible, and know deep down that abundance was our birthright.

When I connect with people who are struggling financially, I always find there is one thing they have in common. They all continuously choose to support their old limiting thoughts and negative beliefs around money.  Rather than actually doing something radically different and exciting to move through them, people live and hide underneath their excuses.  They become cowards to discovering their real power, hiding behind their pride, rather than revealing and healing their feelings of fear, self-judgment and financial intolerance. Each time their mind unconsciously creates this pattern of choosing a desperate needy response to life. The habit becomes so natural that they have to something very radical to alleviate this perpetual addictive state of financial frustration.  They have to accept the fact that they are following their old excuses, and now choosing to live a life that is continuously moving through the fear.

The impoverished mindset is one that continuously resists fear, controlling the emotions and creating distractions so they do not have to feel their fear.  This type of controlling energy tends to say NO to life, denying new ideas, opportunities and people.  It abides in a feeling there is never enough to go around, and we must compete, suck it up, and live a life of compromise if we are to survive.  It thinks we must stick to doing our duty, live in obligations, always work hard, struggle to survive, and not think too big just so we don't upset others.  It's in this very uncreative approach to life that people escape from their true power and get to be irresponsible for their real life purpose which is to know themselves. 

Poverty thinking is the one disease that can completely destroy the great potential of love and joy our life contains.  People continue living in their comfort zone or choosing to play small, helpless, lazy, abandoned, unloved and unwanted because there's nothing they can do about it and it is their "destiny".  It's actually a very selfish self absorbed way to live, never considering how to help out others, and thinking only of ourselves and how our desires, wants and needs are not quite fully met.  Poverty consciousness is perhaps the most unconscious, self destructive and addictive pattern that people have which will ruin their chances at enjoying their life. 

The poverty mindset can be brilliant in the way that it will rationalize things, thinking that by consuming fewer resources we are thus helping the world out and saving our planet.  By spending less money we become wealthier and less dependant on money or the world for our survival.  Of course, there is a grain of truth in everything, and the best path is to create a world of total sustainability within a conscious loving lifestyle. 

Yet the intention of holding back out of fear and not fully honoring our true power is the greatest loss of all.  If we are constantly holding tight onto money, we are creating struggle and strive within ourselves and always feeling that we don't have enough. This manifests in many forms, one will show up as our inability to contribute our full unlimited unbounded joy into our community. We cannot show up for a wild free abundant loving life purpose if we are holding tight onto anything and living in fear on any level. 

The feeling of being poor is so terrifying for some people that every thought and action becomes about avoiding that experience. Many people in this world choose to become insanely rich based out of their deepest fear of being broke.  This avoidance however morphs into another type of poverty consciousness, as it never allows the mind to relax and rest into its divine original nature.  Any type of non-relaxed fear based thinking is going to have a feeling of poverty connected to it on some level.  Be aware that poverty consciousness is a very sneaky beast and it can show up in our life in a large variety of forms.  It may be as obvious as feeling we don't have enough money to pay our rent each month, the paranoia that someone may rip we off, the idea that there is only one soul mate in the world for us, or the idea that we have to eat everything on our dinner plate, even if we are not hungry.  Just know that if any thought is formed out of fear, it is based in some level of poverty thinking.

The first step to giving up poverty consciousness is to find out exactly where it is showing up in our life and in our thinking.  It is only through the awareness of these negative thoughts that we can liberate our mind from repeating them.  The moment a limiting thought flows through the brain we must step back from it, see it from a distance, and don't emotionally buy into the story that accompanies it.  When we are able to identify exactly where, when and how we emotionally fall into our poverty stricken belief system, then we have a chance at moving beyond it.   Yet, we must keep a very close watchful eye on poverty thinking if we are ever going to get beyond it.  When we can see how we justify being stuck, poor, or happily struggling then we shall be able to find a way to invent a new story about how good it feels to no longer live in a world filled with excuses. 

People often tell themselves that its easier to remain stuck in just having enough to survive, than to own up to the fact that they are a super powerful manifesting being who can have anything they desire.  If they owned that empowering thought, it would either mean their whole life was some sort of failure or they were a completely stupid and ignorant person.  So people make up all sorts of wonderful "feel good" stories about their poverty, saying that it is more holy to be poor, or it’s not ok to take "too much" and this takes up their energy for remembering we have an infinite supply of creativity, love, energy and consciousness available.  These are the ingredients which actually create money! 

 Living in poverty consciousness is living a lie, based in deep denial to knowing the magical manifesting potential energy inside us.  The consequences for continuing to believe in such a deep misunderstanding are the experiences of struggle, pain, desperation, and lack.  The more money we feel we don't have the more busy we become to fulfill this need.  Poverty thinking creates an energetic distraction from knowing our intimate connection with the source. The mind is obsessed with being right, and for it to admit how its choosing each day to remain stuck manifesting more poverty stricken situations, would completely destroy it.

No matter how rich or poor we are the ego/mind will be addicted to wanting more.  It will always tell us that we need more and no matter how hard we try, we can never completely satisfy the demanding desiring ego. Its purpose is wanting, wanting, wanting and wanting more wanting!  This incessant wanting creates the feeling of poverty.  So it is important to remember that our ego is not designed to know what true satisfaction is, this is the purpose of the soul and discovering our spiritual nature.  The mind doesn't have the time to be curious about this divinity inside us.  It wants us to believe it is a lie, and that we need more stuff if we ever want to be happy. This lie that more things equals a better life is very deep, and if accepted over time it may cause us to lose sight of our source of true happiness, which is in our life purpose and spiritual nature.

To completely break away from poverty consciousness, we simply have to commit our life to a new way of being.  We have to totally retrain our brain to believe that anything is possible.   Perhaps the most hidden secret to living like kingsize is also the most powerful one which is this.  Ultimately, when we can truly relax into the core of our worst feelings of poverty, the peace found in that relaxation contains an unstoppable resource of abundance, love, healing and creativity inside it.  It is only through facing our fear that we can be released from it.  What happens this is we find a state of total emptiness inside that also contains our greatest fullness.  We do nothing and merge with everything. 

It comes down to dropping out of the head and into our heart, that we finally relax, and discover the natural state of abundance inside.  The heart contains the greatest freedom that is truly freeing and life enriching.  The feeling of great abundance naturally comes when we live from the heart and abide in feelings of gratitude that are already there. Check it out and see for ourselves!  Imagine what would our weakness be like if we lived from our heart, and only practiced gratitude for the life we already have?  It is first through accepting the idea that we are enough that can later manifest into the experience of having enough.  If we are thinking for one minute about what we don't have, it means we have missed 60 seconds of feeling loved, rich, and abundant about what we do have.

Poverty thinking is a cheap way of getting scraps of love, which ultimately end up costing everyone in the end. It can be very enticing to stay in as other people around us don't want to leave their habits, and thus will give us tons of extra sympathy when we're broke and struggling in the dirt with them. It is all about believing in the lie that we are not an all powerful manifesting being that creates all suffering.  This lie is the greatest sin one can ever make.  It is the original missed mark of mankind, and is causing us to miss out on the deep source of joy that is at the core of our being. We need to revamp our attitude and mould it towards becoming a rich person as to how we would deal with ourselves, others and judicious treatment of our resources without being jealous with other’s progress. We need to learn how the other one got success while we had the same set of circumstances around us. If we lack something, we must try to gain that and we will start living like kingsize soon.

This way, living like kingsize needs a change in attitude only. It does not need a person to arrange living accommodation like palaces, highly priced vehicles and/or other luxuries. We may start our brainstorming with problems that we are personally invested in. Building a business is hard as hell and takes the kind of relentless dedication that comes from personal passion. But we can do it. If we work hard, make balance between our resources and the heads of our expenses making priorities therein according to their utilities, we can live like kingsize even in our meager income.

One of my friends keeps 25% of his income reserved for savings and the rest 75% he uses for living expenses for which he has already made out the list having provision for the contingencies as well. The 25% savings are invested in fixed deposits. When that fixed deposit matures, he gets that renewed to the extent of 75% for another term of time and the surplus he spends lavishly to meet those needs he keeps pending in awaiting for the maturity of his fixed deposits.  This way, his savings are going up and with the 25% surplus after renewals, he enjoys the life like kingsize without borrowing from anyone. No tension, he lives like kingsize. We too can try this example but according to our own circumstances.

Be Happy – Live Like Kingsize.

Be Happy - Your Own Wisdom is Your own Asset.

जीवन पथ जटिल है यह, कालचक्र कठिन है यह,.

पग-पग में भेद-भाव है, रक्त रंजित पांव हैं। 

जन्म से किसी के सर वंश की  छाँव  है,

झूठ के  रथ पे सवार डाकुयों का गाव  हैं।

किसी के पास है छल -कपट, किसी को रूप का वरदान है,

यह सोच के मत बैठ जा कि यह विधि का विधान है।

बज रहा मृदंग है , यह कहता अंग-अंग है,

कि प्राण अभी शेष हैं, मान अभी शेष है।

ऊठा लो ज्ञान का धनुष,

एक कण भी और कुछ माँग मत भगवान से।

ज्ञान की कमान पे लगा दे तू विजय तिलक,

काल के कपाल पे लिख दे तू यह गुलाल से ,

"कि रोक सकता है कोई तो रोक के दिखा मुझे,

हक़ छीनता आया है जो अब छीन के बता मुझे। "

ज्ञान के मच पर सब एक समान है,

विधि का विधान पलट दे ,वोह ब्रह्मास्त्र ज्ञान है,

तो आज से यह ठान लेय, यह बात गांठ बांध ले,

कि कर्म के कुरुक्षेत्र में,

ना रूप काम आता है, ना झूठ काम आता है,

ना जाति काम आती है, ना बाप का नाम काम आता है,

सिर्फ ज्ञान ही आपको आपका हक़ दिलाता है।
