Earning a Living

• KAMaaI jindagi jeene ke liye hai YA KAMAAI hi Jindagi HAI ? why people are working 14 15 hours a day ? IS there a life to be lived beyond earning a LIVING ?
• GOD has sent us on earth to do satkarmas , sadaachara ,and satshaashtra shravana ..and progress spiritually .. For the body to sustain he has created various jobs to be done by people make an earning and live properly . For that people in olden days used to spend a max of 4 to 5 hours of work / job and then spend rest of the time in LIVING a life , a meaningful life ... A bramhin is supposed to spend only 96 minutes for earning a living in a day and be happy with whatever GOT for the day ! rest of his time is spent in KNWOING HARI ....
• BUT today EARNING itself has become a PURSUIT of LIFE ... everywhere people are busy only in geting a JOB , after getting a JOB they are lookingfor BETTER JOB and then BETTER paying JOB and then BETTER paying plus perks JOB ... all seem to be earning earning earning ....... AT the end of the DAY has anyone EARNED enough WEALTH ?
• BUT the demand to be paid more has led to 15 hours working .. an average man starts his career with 1.5 lakh per annum and ends with 25 lakhs per annum , by thattime he would have exhausted his ohysical capaciy to work also .. HOW much wealth would he ahve made ?
• let us look at a small scaleindustry .. it will not be able to afford many 25 LAKh pa mangers in its organisation so It will definitely find weays to vacate the position for new person .. so there is instability ... GOVT organisations BANks are in maintenance ONLY model .. so they wont incraese PAy scales frequently .. which organisations CAN afford continuous increase in PAY scales , only those which ahve contnuous RISING PROFIT model .. In todays era , which are such industries ? ALCOHOL , FOOD and beverages .. and FMCG .. and EVIL entertainment ... Aand all allied industries
• BUT are these industries worth serving ? how lomng will these sustain ... sooner or later , people working 15 hours will break down .. and as they are doing only routine jobs [ non creative ] their intelligence levels totally collapsed .. what will they be fit to do in another decade ..
• IT boys are retiring at 36 , because they ahve nothing to do [ unless they are extraordinary ] and try theirhands at STOCK marlet with their earnings .. BUT SI anyone LIVING a quality LIFE ?
• The struggle is always there .. before job while in jOB and after JOB too ? the insecurity is cropping up because the work is NOT SUITED ... and earnings are never enough !!!!!!
• put apause and think ...what ahs changed .. if one were to earn just about to live a happy life .. work for fewer hours .. and spend more time in MEANINGFUL activties .. then after few yearsdown the line cumulative effect will be LIKE yes I AHVE LIVED ..... meaningfully ... ELSE after ten years what ahve you done in life .. if you ask yoruself .,.. served a PURPOSELESS entity ... [ perhaps evil entity ] and not earned enough to enjoy also ? because time to enjoy has passes away , there sis no KNOWLEDGE how to enjoy too
• what is its effect ? BRAMHINS have lost edge , they are neither VEDA educted to know right wromng or be in Position to lead SOCIETY , NOR are they considered BEST in any educational field to boast of because RESERVATIONS and MANAGEMENT seats back door entry ahs made many a ineligibles to STAND at PAR with them [ for no definite reason but as a papaer certificate holder ] .. SO there is no meritocracy anymore ! SO what next ? EXCEPT fopr being BRAMHAN name sake ? what are YOU ?
• WHAts there a big issue in doing POOJA in temples . we can do that tooo SAY some ... After all DOCTOR cuts open a Stomach witha rajor to do operation , whats big thing in cutting open , i can tear a stomach too ? well do you still need degree for it yes I can get one ? now what shall I cut open ... is there any restriction ...
• when meritocracy has taken a HIT .. BRAMHINS you have nothing to claim as BEING BEST in any field ... ANd then you are no better than shudras ... and people will treat you that way too ... many ofthe people have so miserable IQs that it would be harder to believe that HE is BRAMHANA ... why miserable IQ because they do not knwo anything about life / living and application ..... they are vegetables ..
• BUT learning shastras gives atleast a Respectability that YES Being BRAMHANA something ahs been achived in life , which wuld mean good after life tooo .... BY being in pseudo feeling that I am earning [ which one never is infact ] one is only making his afterlife .. worse .. when will one REALISE , after life is IMPORTANT TOO
• AFTER saying taht IF you want to edge out others LEARNING your core shastars is more im;portant ... else soon ineligible will start preaching you what youshoudl be doing to imprve your after lfe
• now HOW much important is shastra learning ? should it be priority to my EARNING activity or SUB to it ?
• for that we need to ask WHOM are we earning for ?
• IF it is for family [ wife child ] ... what great change would ahppe in ones own after life life status .. If onehas done more thannecessry for a WIFE and a CHILD ?
• a contemporary richest MAN in world gave in charitry 80% ofhis wealtha nd gave only 20%to his child .. if asked why so ? he said my father had not given anything to me .,, if my chiuld cannot make up his life even with this much , than he can never make his life with as MUCH also ... better doc harity .. why ? after life !!!! see even mletchas understand that !!!!! WHAT bramhans you dont undertsand simple things ?
• whena man leaves ITS only his KARMAS that accomapmny him not WIFE and children .... and IF has spent entire life inearning MONEY for those who woudl never recognise you also ONCE runanubandha ends ... WHAT is teh use of STRUGGLING hard for them ? EVEN now there is TIME , WHY not HARI SEVA .. with priority ?
• a man having 10rs in hand .. as his wealth if he does 5 rs daana ... hegets much much more punya than a man who has 1 cr rs in hand and does daana of 10000 rs
• for daana what is required is daana buddhi not money !!
• daana is about doing tyaag of your possession where is the question of expectation ... if doen with expectation it is vyapaara not daana
• when you go to supermarket .. you hand over rs 100 in expectation that you would get rs 100 worth goods and also some discount .., THIS is not called daana , it is called kraya vikraya .. trade
• a grahastha's duty is to employ [ a well settled man 's duty ] 20% of his wealth in daan ./.. another 20 % for welfare of friends and relatives ... 20 % towards self , 20 % on family and 10% savings ... SO giving daana ismandatory not a CHARITY , daan is not upakara
• when a person sees daana as charity he looses his punya then and there itself ..
• sometimes people give very lowly rated items when it comes to give daana ... like a cheap dhoti shalya , a very cheap blouse piece [ when one has todonate ] one usually hears in shop , KINDLY show some dhoti , immediately SHOPKEEPER asks FOR SELF or for DAANA .. the meaning for daan m,eans low quality
• if one donates anything which is below ones own STATUS ie if you eat 40 rs kg rice and donate 10 kg rice from ration dukaan to temnple , you get SNATANIK loka oe NS lokas
• one should always gives daana those thingswhcih is more than what one uses for self
• daan is for PARMATMA as present in bRAMHANS as BRAMHANAS are chal moorty , what ytou give to PRAMATMA it comes back manifold if doshapoorna items are given multitude of dosha comes back to us
• STORY of nachiketa is when his father was doing all useless objects as daana ... NACHIKETA stops FATHER from doing it saying THESE will give santanik loka , FATHER gets irriated and says GO i ahve given you to YAMA and NACHIKETA ges to YAMA live ..
• So one must live to give daana , one must never loose an opportunity to give daana .... KARNA was once shaving .. and he had a diamond crucible before him which was used to hold water for shaving .. a bramhan came for asking daana , as KARNA was holdi
• A bramhan birth comes after 100 crore births of other non bramhin janmas , not doing bramahnochita karma will push back into non bramhan janams and agin itwould take 100 crore births to get back a bRAMHIN birth , soone must not loose such an opportune BIRTH in making futile NON realistic and wasteful efforts towards EARNINGS ... one must instead try to steer ones lifetowards PROGRESSIVE SPIRITUAL evolution
• SO jumpng JOBS and running MAD race .. what would it serve at the end may be one might have earned a few lakhs more than one who has not tried .. [ that too if there is some poorvajanma punya ] .. and that efforts vis a vis AMOUNT of time LOST ... is not comparable ... its like tradinga a precious stone for an ILL STITCHED RAGS
• daan and its effects and patra and varities all are discussed in this post
• neetishastra says .. best use of MONEY earned is to hand it over to a satpatra
• Antakan dootarige kinchittu dayavilla " yamadootas dont show any mercy .. they wont klet anyone take anextra minute to set right their accounts , debts gain etc ..NOR will they giveextra timeto repair ones after life ... so while you ahve time think how much satkarmas have you done ? and how much time is LEFT ? HAVE you ever done ekadashi .... have you listened to BHAGAVAT .. have you ever tried to flip through MADHWACHARYA's works ... HAVe you ever done RAYAR namaskaar seva in LIFE ... have you ever done a VRAT ... have you ever spent a LITTEL time Ponderingwhat is indriya nigraha ? what is TAPSYA ... what is BHAKTI ? why VAIRAGYA is recommended ! is it necessary ? ARE we anywhere thinking about MOXA ? if not now ONE SI ANSWERABLE BEFORE YAMA !!!!!! krishnarpanmastu
