  • Proverb (Hindi): When God gives something to someone, He gives in abundance.
  • Story of the farmer who found a silver chest full of treasure buried in the ground. Description from the Srimad-Bhagavatam.
  • Money is not everything in human life, but it is necessary.
  • What you get in this life is the result of your pious activities (punia-karma) in your past lives.
  • Story of the brahmana Sudama Vipra, a great friend of Krishna, who stayed in the ashram of Sandipani Muni (Srimad-Bhagavatam).
  • Krsna was such a friend of Sudama Vipra that when he visited him, Krsna bathed his feet and gave caranamrta to all the queens and children of the palace and took it Himself.
  • Krishna and His queens served Sudama Vipra lovingly and excellently.
  • Though he was poor, he didn’t ask Krishna for anything and left the palace.
  • On reaching his village, Sudama saw a large palace with a fire ceremony and several brahmanas chanting mantras.
  • Sudama Vipra realised that by visiting Krsna and offering Him a little rice, he had received all this from Him.
  • The conclusion is that Krishna can give you everything, have firm faith in the guru and in Krishna and everything will come!
