Watched a program related to bonded labour and how they suffer. Some want and work towards liberation while others are ignorant. The sufferings of both sets are different.
Now rethink with people in on the spiritual path in world and those in the worldly world. Suffering, approach and goals are different while being present in the same place physically

Vision
Look at the ground standing there
Now look down from say 4th floor. we will still see the drain, the dirt , the grass, a bit of the tree & the street, some cars etc
Now compare with the view from say 20th floor...tree tops , green grass, tiny cars on streets far away, clouds, roof tops...it all looks lovely
And when we see a city from a plan that has just taken off or just landing, it looks very pretty.
In fact while on a flight we see mountains & valleys and even arid desserts and they look beautiful in their own special way.
From where we see physically changes how we see it.
The ability to see with a higher perspective or to a further extent is VISION.

Body, Matrialism & Knowledge
Body, Matrialism & Knowledge : All 3 are needed to survive.
Durga, Laxmi & Saraswati represent these 3. And each Goddess has 3 days of the navratri dedicated to her.
An alignment and balance of all 3 during our time of Earth in human form can help achieve realisation.
Without a healthy body and basic needs of life met, one can't think of knowledge seeking etc....think about it.

Desire Vs Duty
Desire
When you have an expected result it is a desire; if you fail and you are hurt & upset with outcome ;it is a desire. The outcome not being what you expected makes you angry, it is a desire.
Duty
And it is duty, when you only focus on effort before, during & after. You are happy with effort and accept the outcome. You do efforts to your best ability knowing God has chosen you to do this. You know God will decide outcome and your control is only doing your best.
Some people camouflage their desire in their duty. I want my son to become a doctor. I am helping my son get into medical school. Can you see that?!

Types of wealth ( Copy & paste from FB)
However, there are seven types of wealth:
Comfort in material wealth
The first type of wealth is what we commonly understand as material wealth. Just being born in Ford’s home, somebody acquired all that wealth without any effort. Why does this happen when somebody else had to toil all his life to make money?

Health equals wealth
Just having money is not sufficient. Some people may have a lot of money but they cannot eat well. They are suffering from many diseases — that wealth is nothing. Some people do not have money, but they have enough to eat and are healthy.

Courage to become wealthy
One must see life as a game and should play without worrying about the outcome. But if one is afraid of making mistakes then one lacks the wealth of courage. And without that there is no fun in life even if the person has a lot of money. Someone may not have any money, but if they possess courage, they reflect wealth.

The friendly wealth
The fifth type of wealth is friendliness. You may have the other types of wealth, but still feel no sense of belonging.That is what happens at most parties — rich people go to a party to show off their wealth, but feel out of place. Parties are like competition grounds or battlefields; everyone is carrying a shield. That is no wealth at all.

Need skill to be wealthy
Another wealth is having different skills and talents. Some people write well, some good at debating, some have a knack for music, some cook well, some are good in administration, and so on. Some, put their maximum efforts to achieve what they want, yet they fail. Effort is not enough to achieve one’s goal.

Be dignified, be wealthy
The world is full of lessons if only we observe it. Be as humble as the grass. Then nothing can touch you. No one can humiliate you. Always, walk like a king and be a perfect servant!

Memories are also wealth
Our memory only develops when we are three or four years and we start understanding things. The moment we become aware of our source of memory, and our infinite past, our whole life changes. It’s just like someone suddenly realizes how wealthy he or she is. Immediately your style of walking changes. This is the awareness of the source. - His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
