You can have so many material goods that are not afraid to lose

Coming into the material world, the living entity comes under the influence of the three energies (gunas), which is the basis of everything in the material world.

The word "guna" can still be translated as the ropes that hold us in this world.

Knowledge of the three gunas – Sattva (Goodness), Rajas (Passion) and Tamas (Ignorance) is very important for us now, and if it to understand, it is possible to improve all areas of life because these energies permeate everything.

If the person is in the mode of goodness. He feels happiness, peace, very clearly hear your intuition. Only when this energy dominates, one can advance spiritually and be really successful.

If this does not happen and the person is often sick, sad, angry, restless, prone to frequent mood swings, then it means that it is the influence of the modes of passion and ignorance.

Everything in this world, including our work and our business is under the influence of these three energies.

And it's important to have "points of knowledge" through which we look at the world and see the true reality, including what modes of affect.

If the Ignorance of man in illusion (stoned, under the strong influence of anger). Passion -people first gets the nectar, but then the poison (dishonestly earned money, lost a lot of good partners and friends, landed in jail).

In goodness — first the poison, then nectar. For example people self-studying languages, regularly in the morning, gets up early and does yoga - in the beginning it can be difficult-but then bears fruit in more full and interesting, healthy life.

Business in different energiesBusiness ignorance is when a person thinks in categories: the need to "throw," "dunk" competition, to achieve the goal of all good (including fraud, murder, violence, fraud, robbery, intimidation, blackmail, anonymous letters) and acts accordingly. Rudeness and dirt — common in his office. His lifestyle is a source of problems to others. He constantly criticizes, insults competitors and even their customers.

Ignorance begins to affect a person if he (she) is: trade in alcohol, drugs, meat, weapons, pimping, theft of children by abortion, pornography, contract killing, sabotage spiritual seekers, causing the suffering of others, etc.

Although, of course, ignorant people in our time can be found in any business. Enterprises of such people long do not exist and they themselves usually become a victim of violence, dying from a serious illness or drink too much.

When dies the leader, whose business was based in ignorance, something about his death say that he died to the delight of all. Usually death comes by using competitors of alcohol or drugs, from any serious illness, accident or suicide.

Most common in our time, the business of passion. Contemporary culture since childhood, develops in us the spirit of competition, we are told: "you have to be better than your classmates or you will not succeed in life." From childhood we are compared to others, say that someone is better, smarter, etc. All this forms the psychology of scarcity. We begin to feel that in the world there is a shortage of everything, and if you don't manage to snatch, others do.

To be happy, earn respect and love others – you must become famous and rich.

This attitude gives rise to many fears. Fear that we will fail to succeed; fear that we will not be able to maintain these gains and many others. These fears are poisoning someone's life and not let her wealth and prosperity. Fears block your intuition.

Generally, one measure of passion is greed and inability to be happy, even when something reach.

The words "business" and "competition" are considered in modern culture almost synonymous. The competition is full of anxieties and fears makes us suspicious. Fear of being a loser, blocks the channels of creativity, does not allow to use our potential, our talents.

Cheating, stealing is ignorance and passion. No need to drown, fool. It is high time to build a business correctly and legally. In this world all just enough. There is only lack of love.

In the Vedas it is said that if a person has earned by cheating, by stealing, it is a maximum of 10 years, he will lose everything.

If a businessman introduces elements of Sattva in his life and work, his company, even after experiencing a big rise in a short time, closes or changes its activity. And he, working wear, constant stress depletes itself, ruining his personal life and health. He soothes himself with thoughts: "And what else? Such is the price of victory." But on his deathbed, he if sorry about something, it is not about what is spent in the office, not enough time....

These people are attracted to any area where you can quickly earn money. It is the organization of various low places, gambling, entertainment events (beauty contests), sporting events, genetic engineering (there is already an element of ignorance), production and selling of wine, food (which look good but do little else useful to the body), various exchanges, advertising companies, show business, etc. In all of these areas is dominated by Rajas.

People rajasinha type can nowadays be found everywhere. The tragedy starts when they are thinking only about money, go to tamoxifne types of businesses. Especially the business associated with the drug trade, alcohol, slavery, use of women, pornography, etc. Due to its strong Rajas they can quickly succeed on relatively long term, but they doom themselves to a multitude of hellish incarnations and bring much suffering to others.

People's passion often dies in the course of (or gets sick a serious illness, often associated with the heart), sometimes finally having time to wonder, "Why? After all, I am in my life so rarely sick!". His family and friends are more concerned with "right and fair" to divide what is left of him, than to sincerely mourn him. If someone remembers the heat (and that briefly), so those who got the larger part of his property. "Good deeds" like this man did out of fear and selfishness, so they are quickly forgotten.

If the businessman being passion starts to add into your life the elements of Sattva (goodness), engaged in staticname types of business, it begins to progress quickly and brings others much good.

If in the third Millennium will be dominated by the business in Sattva, the society will survive, and will progress in all areas. Businessmen who do not reach this level, will destroy themselves, will bring destruction and degradation of society as a whole.

Doing business in the mode of goodness, one understands that the only person with whom you need to compare is himself.

It does not matter what position in society you have achieved (from SKT. Pratistha — temporary prestige) as a result of their professional activities, and that the man you eventually became. A businessman understands that success is not the attainment of selfish goals, and personal creative growth and service to others. It is very important that happens to a person in the process of achieving this goal, his emergence as a harmonious personality, the realization of its talents and capacity for the benefit of the world.

Equally important for him to create something useful to people, to help them achieve happiness and success in life. And above all, help in developing Bhakti-divine love, not the accumulation of a lot of money, He realizes that the higher the position, the more responsibility, the more you need to serve the world. And that you become happy as much as you useful to others.

A person in Sattva knows that the best solutions, insights come not when man is working hard, and during a well-conducted relaxation and meditation. This is one reason why they have the schedule there is always time for relaxation, socializing with family, Yoga, exercise, reading, self-education, most stay outdoors.

Such leaders understand the importance of training (both personal and of their staff), investment in science and maintaining cleanliness. They know that life is too short to do what you intended and not what you have is not soul.

People in Sattva work with constant enthusiasm, but not attached to the fruits of their labor. For example, long-term project can lose perspective, but it is their "get out of the saddle". They understand that everything is in the hands of the Almighty, anyway temporarily. And if they suddenly get rich, get famous, and they're just as simple, devoid of pride, pacified the people and will continue to do what you love.

They love their employees, customers (and indeed the whole world) and care about them. The main thing for them is people, not money and instruments of production. Henry Ford said "You can take all my factories, money, but leave me my people and we'll renew". His principles were always high and pure, he was a vegetarian and believed in reincarnation, and his great-grandson was initiated into Bhakti-yoga.

When a person in goodness leaves this world, we all feel that light in the world has become smaller. His firm, his ideas long outlive him. Grieving many people, even those who came into contact with him quite a bit or even personally was not familiar. If the person worked in the state structures, it is not a "politician" and "statesman". If in business, there is a "great leader", "great personality".

Activities in Sattva – is the production and distribution of organic, devoid of the chemistry of food additives, food grown in nature, natural dairy products, natural honey, teaching knowledge, promoting self-expression, and teaching yoga and other spiritual Sciences, work in charitable institutions, etc., But, by and large, it is almost any activity (except tematichnyh spheres of activity) that a person performs in accordance with his nature, his talents, from the heart and for the good of the world, as service to God, without attachment to results.

Unfortunately, when people with dominant energies of ignorance and passion come in pure stickie scope, it can be damaging to society. For example, selling alcohol, cigarettes or even drugs to maintain the temple.

In modern society, among the leaders, unfortunately, dominated by traders and businessmen (Vaisyas). For them, the main goal is money. They may sell weapons, and research, and religious attributes, as long as it brought benefits.

Vaisyas can quickly progress and live in harmony with the Universe if they: donate money to charity (more than 10% of their income), help others, care about their employees, do business which brings benefit to the world, keep his word.

Generally, in the Vedic culture, the Vaisyas were considered the body of society, from the successful operation of which depended the prosperity of the society and its various institutions.

It is believed that money comes to us by karma (fate). And that big money is good karma from former lives. In General, it is. But it is possible in this life to earn good money, our efforts, and changing the karma. In General, no serious work on himself, without changing his character and attitudes to change fate for the better unlikely, and without it people can work for 20 hours a day – the result will be.

Become a harmonious person, create a product, service, company, which will help many people and earn money a lot of money. Less communicate with those unhappy who are in the role of victim (ignorance), accusing all, believing the world is unfair.

The masters of yoga say that the property of others should be treated as garbage, then there is no envy. But to their property as property which is leased from God and, above all, it is designed for self-development and service to others.

We can have so many material goods that we are not afraid to lose.

Material possessions become a curse when we become proud and contemptuous attitude towards those who have less and to envy and zaicevas to those who have more of them.

Things are designed to use them, and people are designed to their liking. But very often we love things and use people... Radhanath Swami.
