Remember that the Law of Karma (Cause and Effect), will repay you much more than you would receive in currency, for as you help others, so you will be helped yourselves.
Cause and Effect
It is up to you to help your fellow human beings. If you live in a land of plenty, then help in the lands of scarcity. If your country has plenty of money, then it should give help to those countries that need it. If your country has plenty of natural resources, then it should share them with any country in the world that needs them. Examine your motivation in everything that you do with your money and possessions. Remember that some of the wiset, the happiest and the most spiritual people that have walked this Earth have possessed nothing.
The Nazarene was of a poor family, possessing nothing but the clothes he walked in, and was fed by those with whom he stayed; yet he exemplified the Christ Principle for the World. There is the example. You do not need money or possessions to be as the Christ. Indeed, it is best to be without them. Societies have existed where people lived together in a community, growing and making what they needed, without money. It could be done today.
All over the World New-Age souls are striving to do just this, to establish little communities which are not based on money and possessions. Until you have tried this, do not despise it. If you have had possessions all your life, is it not difficult to give them up?? In the end possessions possess you and, in that they possess you, they deny you your full spiritual birthright.
The Law of Karma
So to those of you who have money and possessions I say beware, for you could be creating great karma for yourselves. You must handle all your money and possessions with responsibility otherwise one day the Law of Karma (Cause and Effect) will decree an incarnation for you where you too may be one of the millions of people who live in poverty and die of hunger in a far-off country.
Changing Your Values
The structure of society today is such that the monetary system of the World is soon to collapse. The money on which you place so much faith and security will become worthless. The present situation, where the rich countries keep on getting richer and the poor countries poorer, cannot be allowed to continue. The value of money and possessions will change. How much better it will be if you have changed your values before that happens. If you can look at your bank account, if you can look around your house and truly say that you could give them up, if you had to, with no pain or remorse, then you have the right amount of money and possessions. But if you say that you could not do this, for you needed them you had to have them, then you have too much.
A Necessary Balance
I ask you all to examine the motive force on which you base your lives. Is it to be money, or is it to be spirituality?? That is not to say that the two cannot go hand in hand, but that the balance must be there. The balance of spirituality is that you do not possess or strive to possess more than your Creator intended for you. If you possess a great deal while other possess nothing, then obviously the balance in wrong. The fact that you have so many problems in your World today, between both races and individuals, can nearly always be traced to money and possessions. What you have, another wants. What you are striving to possess, another will try to prevent.
Our Only Possession
Remember that you are the children of God, that you are living on His Earth along with the matter of the Earth and that nothing whatsoever belongs to you. All that you possess is your consciousness. That is the only thing that you will take with you when you leave the physical body. How much better, therefore, to advance that consciousness.
