Jai maa maha Lakshmi!
Jai shri ganpati deva!
Goddess Lakshmi graces with her presence wherever there is no theft or deceit in mind, speech, or body. Even if a person does not worship God or Goddess Lakshmi, as long as they are moral, they will continue to receive benefits. Morality should be the foundation of all our worldly relationships.
Never leave any stone unturned in showing respect to Goddess Lakshmi. Regarding money, never say, "I don't need money." Many sages and saints renounced money, which is not good. By doing so, a person binds karma that causes them to face financial hardship for many lifetimes; they may not even see money in their next life.
The more you think about money, the more it moves away from you. Don't think about money all the time! During Satya Yuga (the era of unity of mind, speech, and body), a person receives everything they desire the moment they think about it. Whereas the influence of Kali Yuga (the current age we live in) is such that the more one misses someone or something, the further one moves away from it. The hunger for wealth and riches drives the entire world today. But what is the real reason behind earning money? If money comes from hard work, then laborers should be the richest people in the world. But they are not! Moreover, if money is earned through intelligence, no chartered accountant or engineer would be unemployed. In reality, money is the result of our past virtuous deeds. In our past lives, we have accumulated virtuous karma through the good deeds we performed, the religious practices we followed, and the charity we gave. As a result, we have a good income in our homes today.
But, if we want the Goddess to continue to reside in our homes, or if we want to welcome her into our homes, there are a few things we need to keep in mind. We must ensure that we do not quarrel within our homes, that we do not hurt others, that we use our minds in a pure way, and that we remain honest, noble, and generous in our worldly behavior. This will accumulate virtuous deeds, and Goddess Lakshmi will surely reside in our homes in our next life.
If you are facing financial difficulties, remain calm and face these difficult times with patience.
May Goddess Mahalakshmi bless you all.
With best wishes
