I would rather be A Bliss Billionaire than a Dollar Millionaire ππ
My grand daughter is very conscious of looking good! And I always tell her happy people always look beautiful ππ οΏΌπ
It is so very sad to see the bulk of humanity completely lost seeking their happiness and fulfilment in possessions, things money can buy. But it is a mirageπ
Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, had often said : Be a Smile Millionaire π πAnd I have heard so many accounts of how happy and cheerful he always was.
The pic above is Paramahansa Yogananda’s last smile. It was taken just an hour or so before his maha samadhi (A Yogi’s conscious exit from the body)
Any unhappy saint would be a sad saint indeed π
All the pleasures associated with material possessions and comforts are transitory. They come and they go. But if we dive deep inside us and touch our souls we shall realise our true blissful nature; and we shall see the futility of chasing and looking for happiness in the transitory and the ephemeral.
If we look at life impersonally, we shall be able to see it as The Reality Show it is; every day a new episode. If life didn’t have its ups and downs, it’s successes and failures; it would hardly be worthwhile. To watch the same show everyday, however well made, would be pointless and monotonous. Do not take this show seriously π
Whatever your role in the changeable mortal life, never forget that you are immortal, and endowed with eternal joy. Your very nature is bliss.
You need not give up your ambitions and live in negation; on the contrary, let everlasting joy, which is your real nature, help you realize all your noble and worthwhile goals.
Make service your goal rather than money, and you will see the entire cause-effect principle of your life change. Abundance will flow in your life. When we act solely to benefit ourselves, such selfishness limits our consciousness, constricting the opening through which abundance, true prosperity and joy flows into our lives.
Let us all be: Smile Millionaires and Bliss Billionaires πππ
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness, and all these things will be added unto thee … Mathew 6.33
