Do You Hear the Song of the Lord With Your Heart?

It’s too distracting to be too wealthy. You are too absorbed in the new gismos like the I Phone and the Blackberry. You can’t be too confident that your choice of a Ferrari over the Aston Martin was the right one. The bookings for the ski slopes at St. Moritz and the Swiss Alps are fast running out and your glamorous new wife, the third in a string, has not made up her mind about the tentative dates.

The highlight of your social climb is how close you can get to the Wall Street wise moguls to give you a tip and a head start in new financial inventions. When the rest of the world comes with a bee line to partake of the derivatives, you would have been there and gone back. You and your young paramour chuckle at and try to outsmart the best dressed and the worst dressed in celebrity gatherings with outfits worn only once with stupendous price tags.

You become cocky and look down with a superior mien learned from the old boys club on the travails of the less endowed and the struggling with their dispositions to run to the Churches for Divine aid. You were trained to assert yourself and use your training from the business schools to deal with earthly problems in a studied way. IT and computers souse your psyche with a preponderance of human achievement and prospective genius. The literature and the multi media themes you imbibe as modern morality are all packaged to serve marketing campaigns.

You sir have become deaf.

Now the world in not too rosy and you are beset by problems that cannot be solved with case studies from the MBA lectures. You have to part with your glitzy toys and take back the tools that properly belong to your bare hands and eke out a hardy living. The ways of your parents which you dismiss as endearing yet outmoded crunch on you with the flurry of a crisis. You have to smudge your nose in the basics and take the two-step to the beginning.

Discomfort makes all your antennae bristle and leap out high in the air to listen. You put your ear to the ground to gather the drumming of distant hoofs. Like the braves in the hinterlands you look for signs in the wind. Most important of all you shuck the din of all the game paraphernalia and the ear bursting MP3’s and turn to the sounds inside your heart and soul. And then there’s only you in all the silence striving to speak out.

Your mind is a wonderful being in its natural state without the encroachment of material ornaments. It can see its way clear to rise above problems and come out with solid solutions. The mortgage and the fancy cars are mind boggling dictates that can electrify you to go in directions that bring you around where you started. You could go around in concentric paths which don’t take you forward. It is better when you have a clear thinking head on your shoulders and a sharp vision to see the true pathways to the future.

You don’t have to pray to the Abba Krishna

Chanting is prayer. Chanting with music is enough glorification of the Father. Why do you need that? You need inspiration. Inspiration can make you creative. Creativity brings out your genius. You must begin to think in a magical way. It’s from inside you that comes out and benefits not only you but everybody else.

You can be the solution. Let’s hear from inside you.
