Our inner treasure is as large as the universe.

By Murli Chari

We human beings are so obsessed with the external material riches that we have totally neglected the treasure within. Just imagine the limitations of material riches and our physical capabilities. Even a gormandizer cannot eat unlimited food. He can eat only till his stomach is full. We can also sleep at the most for 12 hours. We have limitations of travelling in a day. Imagine the immensely infinite capacity of our inner being which includes our brain, our mind, consciousness, and the subconscious mind. Sitting quietly at one place our minds can travel billions of kilometers in a nano second. External reality is shaped by our inner reality. Unless we make a blueprint of what we desire the external reality can not be shaped. All the best architectures we see and appreciate are the result of our inner conceptualization. There are no limits to developing and harnessing our inner being. The best of inventions and discoveries in the world are the result of imagination. The invention of bulb, radio, television, automobiles, aero planes, mobiles, computers, software, and the legions of other things have emanated from the brains of geniuses. Even the billionaires have emerged due to the rich inner being. Even humongous physical efforts can not produce riches of the highest order. Even our physiology is driven by the unconscious. Most of our habits are driven by the programs written firmly in the subconscious. The internet, medicine, surgeries, and the myriad facilities are the result of our inner being. Mankind has evolved and adapted as he used his brains and minds to think and act. All the planning is in the realm of our brains and minds. It is our mind which runs all the organs. The basic difference between human beings and other species is the highly developed brains and minds of human beings. We human beings are flying in the sky, exploring the space, thanks to their superlative brains, imagination, repertoire of knowledge, understanding, planning, abstract thinking, and inquisitiveness.

Now, we are all heading to a new civilization where human beings would make the robots and computers to do all the work thanks to automation, artificial intelligence, internet of things and integration of all the technologies. Just imagine the kind of work going on these days where high-tech machineries are doing the onerous work of excavation and construction. The inner being also helps in spiritual development, harnessing the full potential of all human beings. We human beings are self-sufficient in all respect. The science and technology are growing by leaps and bounds. Even most of our thinking is being transferred

to super computers. The calculations which would have days and months are done in a jiffy by computers. Days are not far off when spending lot of time, money, and energy to get oneself educated will be done away with as all the knowledge one needs will be available on the fingertips. Even human beings may stall the aging and have cures for all the ailments at present seem intractable. Space travel for all human beings would become trite and ubiquitous. Every one of us has the potential to become persons like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mukesh Ambani, Ratan Tata, Azim Premji and the legions of billionaires. It is in the interest of all to have abundance mentality rather than scarcity mentality as there is infinite cornucopia of abundance in our limitless universe. Limitation exists in our mind. It would be in the interest of all to make everyone knowledgeable and competent to become multi-billionaires. All we need is to dwell deep into our inner recesses to explore the treasure trove of innate talents waiting to be discovered. To do the best thing in creating affluence for all is to give free education and health rather than heavily investing in infrastructure. Investment in people is the best investment. One of the best aphorisms on prosperity is a Chinese adage. “If you want prosperity for one year grow crops, if you want prosperity for 20 years grow trees and if you want prosperity for 100 years grow people.” This is a proven rationale and very practical. We have within ourselves to become emperors provided we have the self-belief.
