Dear Shankuntala,

I have seen many people like what you wrote in this line.

They are so jealous of others and only want good to happen to them.

Especially relatives tend to have this type of thinking.

But frankly speaking a car is just a mode of transport which depreciates in value the moment it hits the road.

So it does not really matter who drives BMW or Mercedes at the end of the day.

Making comparisons are inevitable. Whether it is car or house or spouse. But it should not result in jealous or hatred feeling about the others. Be happy with whatever your are having and if something better can be attained - by legal ways - try at attain the same. Anything can be compared and we can aim to attain the same (except spouse - pl don't jump to Chinna Veedu thread).

Yes I know..one has to be very careful in spending money as not to waste...so that extra money can be used for charity.

Even to decorate house..you know what I do?

I go to some expensive showroom and only look at designs but do NOT buy anything and then go to medium cost show rooms and try to recreate the same look!

We can recreate a classy design by using less money.

I like the comment and agree with it, in my personal lifestyle. It helps that you do not have craving for material goods.

Having said that, let us take the other side of the equation. In a consumer driven economy, Gandhiyan philosophy will be the last nail on the coffin.
For younger people (except Dr. Renuka) it might be better to have a different perspective.
Every statement is appropriate in its own time and place. What was true before Independence is not true after Independence. Similarly what is normal in India is not same in Saudi Arabia.
If we all live the austere life style of Mahatma Gandhi, we will have to shut down all factories, and people will loose jobs and there will be chaos in the country. We should live within our means, but credit is the engine of growth. So home loan, car loan and credit cards should be accepted life style.
"want not - Have not", sometimes greed is the driving force.
Let us not condemn all those people who are chasing after the next BMW. I am an INVESTOR lol.

Dear Prasad ji,

Out here luxury car theft is quite rampant.
So you see I can go to bed peacefully that no one will steal my local made car.

[radikal]

economy, Gandhiyan philosophy will be the last nail on the coffin.

Dear Prasad ji,

I am not really a Gandhian.

I do not deprive myself but I do not over spend either.

I update my fashion sense and clothes from time to time and always dress up to date but I do not buy branded labels.

In Malaysia lots of local brands are very nice and affordable and one can still looks like a million dollars by only spending RM 50.

It all boils down to careful spending.

Some woman chase after brands like Prada,Chanel,YSL just for the sake of the label name and end up wasting money cos they do not have good fashion sense and choice of clothes.

I spend a good amount of money on food cos I tend to buy only organic stuff.

I do not mind paying more for quality food cos health is important.

I also invest in good gym equipment at home so that exercising will be an exciting experience.

I have a passion for Sanskrit books and have a library at home too.

So I am no Gandhian it is just that I do not over spend.

My father used to say this often.....

'The rain it raineth more upon the just, because
the unjust has stolen his umbrella!' - taken form the poem:

'The rain it raineth every day
Upon the just and unjust fella,
But more upon the just because
The unjust hath the just's umbrella.'

The persons who are not selfish and help others in their distress are good people. They might suffer due to financial

problems or ill health. This is because of some wrong deeds they have done in previous births. I was a non believer of

previous births when I was young but as I watch the changes in the lives of many of my relatives and friends, now I am
forced to believe it!

[Beerinkol]

I am not sure of rebirth or previous births yet. Concentrating more on this birth.

Dear Shakuntala,

My mother' elder brother's wife served as a gynecologist first and in the cancer ward later, in a leading hospital in Coimbatore.

She was a great asset to our family and showed love to everyone around her. Extending help to others was the ONLY motto in

her life. Do you know what her condition is now, when her age is nearing 90? She is bedridden for the past four years and her

condition is really pathetic. She can not move her limbs but her memory and speech are excellent! I can justify this only by

believing that she might have done something wrong in her earlier birth! I know a few more persons like her.

I would like to go with Raji maam.

We have come across so many a incidents where in by some miracle a person recounts his previous birth. My patti used to say MS, would have done so many abhishegams with hiney and other things to get such a great voice, and the way she has done great things in the present birth she would have straight away attained moksha...More and more births so that you can do something good in this life and get salvage!! We also see many childrens excel in some fields totally new to the family he/she is born... விட்ட குறை தொட்ட குறை என்றும் சொல்ல்லாம்....
Cheers.
