SatNaam

 

I never understood this craze about getting personalised number plates. Saw

a pogram about why people collect status symbols. Because when they grew up

they felt unpopular/unliked/unloved for whatever reason. But wanted all

those things from other people. So they see that big houses, flash cars,

pretty girls , gold chains, personalised number plates etc are respected by

society. So they crave those things so that they will also be respected due

to their association with those objects. Its a pretty shallow existance. You

have to look inside deeper and find love within yourself, love Truth within

yourself. Find that inner stability, that a thief cant steal, that water

cant drown, that fire cant burn. What happens to your life when those status

symbols get damaged, stolen, or your wife leaves, or you lose respect? Then

your whole world crumbles and your mind goes down with it. That's why it is

called as false. So meditate on the Truth - Sat Naam. God Bless You.

I think that people need a certain amount of money to live decently and a few

items they feel good about having (like a favorite piece of jewelry or shoes).

They shouldn't end up homeless or chasing after a big mansion. Balance is good.
