*7 SPIRITUAL LESSONS FROM THE CURRENCY INVALIDATION IN INDIA*
*1. Change is Sudden*
Everybody is concerned about the overnight action making high value currency invalid across India. Nobody saw it coming; or was prepared; or had even any idea of its happening.
But there is something else which we know will surely come, but are not sure when, where and how - that is death. And it will come even more stealthily than this!
We had 4 hours advance notice for this - but in death, there will not be 4 seconds. Are we prepared for the secrecy and suddenness in Death?
*2. Value can be Lost in a Second*
We had Lakhs of Rupees in 500 and 1,000 denomination yesterday - but today they are just pieces of paper!
Similarly, all wordly gains - money, wealth, fame, power - not just high currency - will all be worthless for us a second after death.
*3. Don't Bank upon Banks*
Like the ATMs and Banks are closed today, options to do good deeds will close with death. No further good deeds can be done / notes withdrawn by us directly.
We can enjoy the assets we purchased earlier with the 500 / 1,000 currency but can't purchase any new ones now. Similarly, only the lasting assets of good deeds we created will benefit us after death - no new goodness can then be done.
*4. Fakes Will Not Last*
One of the purposes of the action is to deal with fake currency. After this, all fake notes will be out of the system. So will it be with ourselves and our actions...
Let us test ourselves - do we have authentic notes or fakes ones - of success, relations, happiness, even good deeds? Is our life itself authentic or are we living a fake life in a fake world?
*5. Small is Big*
Big deeds run the risk of breeding pride and arrogance. The real gems are the small, quiet, hidden, good deeds that are done with sincerity when no one is looking.
The person with two 100 rupee notes is today richer that the a person with a thousand 500 rupee notes!
*6. Source Matters*
For each of your actions, you shall be questioned and your source / intention seen.
When you go to the Bank to exchange the Rs 500 / 1,000 note, you will be asked for identity / PAN / source of Income.
Similarly when you bring your deeds to the Creator, he will ask for your source / intentions / purpose. Did you do it to be called a generous person? Or to compete with someone? Or only for the will and happiness of God?
Only the last will be valid currency there!
*7. Plan Ahead*
A lot of people are busy worrying and planning what they can do with the invalidated currency now. But it may be too late.
Planning for the Hereafter needs to be start in the Now - with right intention, sincere devotion and regular action. Else it could be too late.

Looking for Happiness

Once a group of 500 people were attending a seminar.

Suddenly the speaker stopped and decided to do a group activity.

He started giving each person a balloon.

Each person was then asked to write their name on it using a marker pen.

Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.

The people were then let into that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written on it within 5 minutes.

Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.

At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon.

Then, the speaker asked each person to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it.

Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.

The speaker then began,

"This is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.

Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people.

Give them their happiness; you will get your own happiness.

And this is the purpose of human life...the pursuit of happiness."
