POVERTY AND GREED

 

This is a text about poverty and greed, theirs double faces, about fears, the paths of sycophants, sweet words and in this text I also give you some tips on how to Make a Difference and why to look deeper into the eye of the abundance.

 

SUBJECT VS OBJECT?

---

 

Nothing that distinguished our ancestors millions of years ago is missing us today.

However, neither hyenas nor the cavemen have been trained to be greedy, to abduct and to take what does not belong to them. Both the hyenas and the Neanderthals knew how much they needed to survive. For more than that they did not risk their lives. Even a fish, as a species of life that has much more developed awareness of the environment than other species (maybe an extremely developed intuition) did not overeat and thus killed itself. So it is with animals and so it was with people 40 thousands years ago.

Interestingly, it is not with today’s man.

 

What happened to the human heart and the most developed consciousness on Earth? Why does he allow himself to be trained and turned away from meaningful thoughts and actions by another person, another system, another state?

What great tragedy has happened to the human heart that it does not even feel own set back to a lower level of evolution? The heart no longer even feels itself.

Many human hearts and brains today even enjoy greed, so absent, so separated from their very nature.

Greed and poverty could not exist one without another.

 

Whether greed and moderation are genetically inherited or not is a little philosophical and much more a topic of analysis of the human psyche. Cutting for these human traits are certainly, again, upbringing (perhaps inheritance), living conditions,  environment, personal mentality, ability for self-control and above all unleashing of heart energy.

Greed on a material level (for money, for objects), on an emotional level (for recognition in society, craving for attention), on a mental and spiritual level (craving for power) has led the world to the utmost material, emotional, mental and spiritual disharmony.

Even gods are greedy keeping telling us that we should only love them, rely solely on them and trust only them.

Thus, it seems that with all these combinations a man has setback his consciousness instead of developed. And human consciousness is like all other phenomena and forms constantly evolving and shaping regardless of whether you want it or not. Keeping human consciousness and human resources under control is not a product of a new modern man, it is an activity old as   first human abundance, but that is another topic.

 

What is the value of that reckless sale of the goodness of hearts of those people who allowed themselves to be trained to lie, abduct, and abduct even more? Today, a man is so well (but finely and quietly) trained that he does not even see or hear himself.

He sees and hears only his greed and avarice.

Many flatter, many are slippery.

Are, dear people, fast cars, big houses, expensive trips, bags and pants really worth such easy sales of hearts and wonderful, human souls?

Remember, when you leave, people will still remember the energy of your deeds (and the deeds of your parents, if you are lucky) and not the brand of your purse or car.

Our planet is full of people. It hosts 7.7 billion people of different habits, opinions, approaches to life, gifts or skin color.

But to stay alive every person on Earth needs the same amount of water, food, warm clothes and roof over his head. This is what a human being cannot survive without.

Not having (enough) money to cover basic needs in life, people usually call poverty.

However, this experience is especially familiar to my compatriots. Wether we are all born on the corner of the Earth to whom it was given so, wether it so determined for us, wether we deserve it so, wether we allow(ed) ourselves that persistent poverty (I am talking, of course, about the majority of the population of the whole piece of Earth from Vardar to Triglav), whether behind that small piece of Earth stands some great mystical force be it the force of nature, the Universe or the bankers, will be determined by personal philosophy, personal ability to think and believe, personal creativity, intuition and personal insight of each of us.

However, in the West, people have more problems with too much food and obesity than with not having food.

Most people in Africa live in total poverty without even water.

In the West, every single person owns a hundred times more than he needs.

On earth, 2.3 billion people do not have the most basic living conditions.

A single citizen of Western Europe has a hundred times more than a man with the same education, in the same job in Eastern Europe. Europe is a small space, the borders are very close to each other, both visible and invisible.

Fortunately, poverty in many European countries is still just a topic for philosophizing with friends. Fortunately, many people in Western Europe and other rich countries only have an “opinion” about what poverty is (or what it could be) and not a real experience about it.

The having-not having relationship is out of balance on Earth. Greed and poverty have never been on a higher and faster seesaw than today.

Who is responsible for this incredible imbalance on Earth or in a single country is a matter of politics, ethics and the morals of the human race. There is a huge mess, from the morals and ethics of each individual to the health of the minds of politicians.

However, this imbalance keeps pace with the development of technology. So we wanted, so we choose. And so we leave it to be.

Also, don’t forget that the “happy pill” was invented in the richest country in the world, and that it was first consumed by the inhabitants of that country.

As someone whom the path has carried and brought to various corners of life, I could write and talk a lot about poverty and abundance, or about games that greed and poverty can play. But on this page I will stick to the topic how to stay balanced despite provocation of abundance. This entire website talks about how to stay balanced in all areas of life.

Both abundance and poverty have double faces.

“I was poor, now I have and now I will show it” – and so he lost his sense of proportion.

Abundance feeds greed and greed becomes a blind man who slowly but surely loses his values. Values ​​become exclusively material. And their guide is a complex of lower value.

Day after day, all that was subjectively, it is transformed by the new rich (in relation to himself) into objects, which, as each of our souls knows in its depth, are neither a source of happiness and peace, nor the meaning of life.

Man thus leaves his most serious teacher and greatest guru (guru– leader, teacher, the one who removes the darkness in knowledge and bring light into it) to superficial, greedy, empty snobbery. Just as a self-loving rich man whose heart is completely obsessed with objects and possessions cannot see what kind of fool he is making of himself, neither can a snob.

There is certainly nothing wrong with financially well-off conditions, of course, but many of those who get rich (sometimes very quickly, how?), very quickly get lost in that new skin. Very few of them will be able to keep a pure heart and head. Remember, abundance is essentially everything we don’t need to survive. Most western houses are filled with things that no one alive needs.

What is a reality for today’s trained welfare sellers is not a reality to the rest of the world.

The tragedy that happened to the evolution of human consciousness is that to many people’s heads power today means money.

It’s true.

However, just as light appears only where there is darkness, so tragedy in our evolution has its pair, and that is the bliss of the heart. Development and transformation of consciousness develops and transforms the heart.

Evolution is nothing but the transformation and change of forms and their potentials.

You have two poles in and around you, you are the helmsman, the third, and the decisive one.

This is available to every person every day and every night.

It is up to man to transform this face of one money.

No one can sell love and serenity to a developed heart, which brings clarity to the mind. Such a man is love itself.

 

FEARS

---

 

Every manipulation is an echo of fear. Fear turns into aggression (through words and deeds).

Aggression is a feature of low-developed consciousness.

There is also the so-called positive fear, inherited from ancestors, it is a good and necessary fear for survival. Manipulation of people is not a pure instinct of survival, but a complex of lower value, a consequence of spiritual weakness and low passions. Fish and hyenas do not have a lower value complex.

There is, of course, a positive greed which, unlike this self-destructive one, is small but useful for personal, positive creativity. It is very productive.

The question is whether and when a small or big man will mature and recognize the boundary between positive creativity (and life without creativity is a dead life) and the self-destructive one and turn the helm of self-realization towards the right coordinates. The “little man” to transform his poverty into wisdom, the “big man” to transform his abundance also into wisdom.

As in every deed and move of people, everything is rejected on existence itself and extended to the whole of humanity. So are greed and poverty.

Today’s world leaders are intelligent people who may have very low energy levels of heart and goodness but their intellect and awareness of the weaknesses of others are at very high level.

The paths of sycophants are like the paths of every parasite slippery, foggy and dead-end streets that lead nowhere but into the mud, to the inevitable mockery and cynicism of the surroundings.
Society can be very cruel to sycophants, even though the mind is a very corrupt phenomenon.

The greatest sages are people who live a simple life without desire to possess, manipulate and abduct.

One should simply think hard before responding to sweet words and stone faces.

… This kind of morality or Dharma is known as Apiragraha and people with transformed consciousness are called Rajas, the kings (Raja Yoga, the Yoga of Kings).

One Raja knows what poverty, greed and non covetousness is. He can sleep on a thin blanket right on hard ground because his awareness of the true qualities of the human mind and its connection to cosmic energies is at a very high, transformed level.

There are people on Earth who are calm with the bare earth as a bed and the bare sky as a blanket. There are very few people like this on Earth.

Apiragraha is an old wisdom we need today more than ever. It is about not recklessly accepting sweet words and (mostly) empty promises as these things lead us into even greater enslavements and harder disappointments.

Try to achieve your goals through your hard work and sincerity, give up the sycophantic life and the life of expectations. This is hard work but it brings immeasurable peace to the spirit and serenity to the heart.

 

There is a nice Serbian proverb, it says:

„Who wants more, loses from the sack.“

They must know what they once talked about.
