"W"
WAGES
As money is the wages of physical and mental labour, God-realization is the wages
of God-devotion.
WEALTH: BLESSING
Even wealth is a blessing if it is utilized for public welfare, but a curse if it
makes us proud.
WEALTH CHANGES
As wealth changes hands, its worshippers change colours.
WEALTH: MASTER AND SLAVE
Wealth is the master of the worldly, but a slave of the saints.
WEALTH: MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL
For the worldly people, material wealth is all in all. For the devotees, however,
spiritual wealth is the greatest treasure.
WEALTH: NOT EVIL
Wealth is not an evil if used for the human welfare. But it is surely an evil if
it makes one arrogant.
WEALTH: REAL
Today money rules the roost. Love and faith are almost extinct. In fact,
spiritual attainment is the real wealth, the greatest asset, that bestows peace, bliss and
contentment.
WEAPONS
Love, humility and non-violence are the sure weapons of a devotee to
conquer (the hearts of) people.
WHITE SCARF
No one can become a saint simply by wearing a white scarf. It is a symbol of
purity, piety and humility. Wearing it is meaningless unless one is actually pure, pious
and humble.
WINNING OTHERS
No two persons think or feel alike. By imposing our own viewpoint, we alienate
instead of winning others. People can be won over by understanding, appreciating and
accommodating their view-points, faiths and beliefs.
WISHING WELL
If one wishes to thrive at the cost of another, one is bound to suffer
ultimately. Hence one should always wish well of one and all.
WORD AND DEED
One is as apart from Truth as is ones word from ones deed.
WORK IS WORSHIP
To do ones duty conscientiously is as good as worship.
WORSHIP: CREATION OR CREATOR
Both, the worldly and the devotee, worship. However, the former worships the art i.e. the
creation, while the latter worships the artist i.e. the Creator.
WORSHIP: GOD OR GODS
It is no use worshipping manmade gods. Worship only God, the creator and
sustainer of the universe, after knowing Him.
WORSHIP: KNOWN GOD
God can be truly worshipped only after He is known and realized.
WORSHIPPERS
The worshipper of the creation attain but transitory happiness, while the
worshipper of the Creator experience abiding bliss.
WORTHY
We can become worthy beings only by worthy living.
