Vivek's Journey
Everyone on this earth is poor, I mean it, each person is poor. Some are poor, some very poor, some are extremely poor. Now it differs at what people are poor of.
Generally it is considered that people are poor because of money, actually the lack of enough money. That's true, most of the population is worried about not having enough of it. Not just people but even some countries are poor, I mean how??
But anyway, this is not at all about Poverty of Money, this is about being poor in all other aspects of life.
Many people are poor in Love, they just can't get over themselves, they have too much ego, selfism, mine, my, Just me. No matter how successful (?) they are in their carrier or education or something they are doing, they can't be happy with their close ones and make themselves wealthy. They have a huge barrier in their mind, so they can't work with their partner into richness. So these people stay in poverty all their life without giving and receiving the greatest gift to humans - The Love.
Some are poor in Compassion. They have no wealth in helping or understanding people. These are very poor people. They lack the emotion which can take them towards wealthyness, but they stay aloof when someone is in trouble, making them poorer day by day.
Some are poor in Basic understanding & Common Sense, mostly so called academic intelligent people. They are so much into their own knowledge (?) world, that they forget to make money out of understanding others. Thinking they know everything (hardly!), they lose the wealthiest part of life, being the understanding person.
The powerful people are poorest of the lot, thinking they have everything, when actually they lose all the wealth because of their own behavior. Having more & more money and commanding people does not make you wealthy. These are getting way more poor in life than anyone can think of. The unwanted aggression makes you weak not strong.
