What is fulfillment?
Fulfillment is completely different from contentment. If you start with the idea of not having: 'I don't have, I don't have' you will only grab. If you start with the reality, 'I am showered.
Arey, still I am alive, my kidney is working, my liver is working, and my brain is working at least once in awhile! My heart is working and my lungs are working. So many things in my system are working. I am still feeling I am alive'.
Millions of possibilities open the moment you feel that you are alive. The moment you step out of this door, millions of stars are seen, millions of possibilities are opening up. Same way the moment you feel you are alive the millions of possibilities are opening. The door for the millions of possibility is the first experience 'I am alive'. Why don't you recognize that and celebrate.
The life that is happening in your body is a gift. You are constantly showered. If you stand on this base, you can create wealth ten times more. You can create infrastructure. See, if you start your life from the mood of not having, you will not create wealth. You will grab wealth. If you start your life feeling blessed, you will create wealth. You will not grab wealth. There is a big difference. Understand. If you start your life with the feeling 'I don't have', you will grab; you will never create. You will be waiting for the opportunities to grab. Sometimes people tell me 'Swamiji I am completely content'. I tell them 'Oh that's great! If you get a lottery, billion dollars, will you say you don't want?' No, no, no! Then what do you mean by you are completely content. No. Move from contentment to fulfillment.
