In today’s time, incidents of fraud and money grabbing have become common. When a person loses his hard-earned money, he not only becomes financially broke but also mentally gets engulfed in immense stress and anger. While answering the question of one such suffering devotee, Premanand Maharaj of Vrindavan has given a very esoteric and practical solution. Premanand Maharaj explained how a person should handle his mind in such a situation and how the cycle of karma works.
This is a ‘transaction’ of previous lives
Premanand Maharaj According to him, nothing happens without a reason in the world. If someone has run away with your hard-earned money or grabbed it, it could be the result of your karma in your previous birth. Premanand Maharaj says, “It is possible that in your previous life you may have taken something from that person, which he has taken back today in this form along with usury.” This should be understood as ‘equal accounts’.
Avoid malice and hatred, otherwise ‘new karma’ will be created
The most important advice given by Maharaj ji was not to harbor hatred or malice in your mind towards that person. If you harbor hatred towards him or have a feeling of revenge, you are creating a new bad karma. You will have to be born again to suffer the karma that will be created due to this hatred. Maharaj ji says that it is wise to end the dispute here and not take it further.
use discretion
Premanand Maharaj He does not say that you should give up your efforts, but he emphasizes on the use of ‘prudence’. Make appropriate legal or social efforts to protect your money, but do not spoil your mind. If the money is not recovered even after efforts, then it should be accepted because it has been lost due to some previous dispute.
Because if that money is really your destiny and your right, then no power in the universe can keep it away from you. Therefore peace is not in wealth, but in contentment and right understanding. If money is lost, it can be earned again, but if mental peace is lost in anger and hatred, then life becomes hell.
