Our life has nine aspiration points and all are essential. They are: health, wealth, relationship, fame, children's growth, helpful friends, career growth, know-ledge and blessings. These are interlinked. Even if one aspiration point is missing you begin to feel uncomfortable.
According to Zen masters there are five principles of abundance. They help us achieve our life aspirations in full. The first principle of abundance is: "God does not choose to discriminate while giving". For God everyone is equal. He gives all life aspirations. It is up to us to take whatever we want. We cannot blame God if any life aspirations are missing in our life.
Then why are there differences between you, me and others? It is only due to two reasons. We create blockages in the mind and in the environment. Especially when we are young, we come across many people including teachers, friends, family members and others.
All of them wish us good. But all have their limitations according to their circumstances and beliefs. These limitations they pass on to others also. Without awareness our subconscious mind accepts these limitations and these act as blocks in our thinking and in our growth.
The second principle of abundance says, "Be a limitless person and accept the universe as it is". God has made you to get the best of everything in this world. You deserve it. There is no limit for your aspirations and dreams. If someone says, "It is not possible", it is his limitation, not yours.
The third principle of abundance says, "Whatever be your intention you will get it". If you have strong intention, your efforts get adjusted to your intention and the universe ensures you achieve the same. When you have a strong intention of owning a house you somehow arrange finance. With only Rs 10,000 in hand you start looking for a new house and you find that within a short span of time you have managed the finance and moved to a new house worth several lakhs.
According to Vaastu Shastra there are 32 directions in a house. Each direction is governed by a god or goddess. Whenever we speak something the deities say "Tathastu" — be it happen. The words that we speak also have energy.
The fourth principle of abundance states, "Negative words multiply and come back to us hundred times. Positive words multiply and come back to us hundred times". When we say, "I am becoming poor", "People cheat me", "Children are not studying" or "No one loves or cares for me" — each sentence multiplies and comes back to us. For our life to be happy it is very essential to avoid negative words and use more positive words.
Feng Shui, the Chinese science of balancing energies, and the latest Japanese management principle of Kaizan: Both have their roots in the fifth principle of abundance which believes "Clutter blocks energy".
Clutter is anything which we carry in our life, which has no value for us now. We purchase a new shirt, wear it for some time and after a few years stop using it but still carry it in our storage space. This is clutter. Clutter can be anything — books, clothes, broken clocks, old electronic items etc. With awareness when we remove the clutter from our house, prosperity fills in. So, live in abundance.
