I think nine out of ten believe that there is super natural power on top of us who orchestrate our script in the form of our lives. But God's creation is so very wonderful that humans seldom realize. I plan to go over some practical day to day examples of how God has given a space for each Individual to shine in her/his life.
Degree from high profile university and a street vendor: Let us assume guy named XYZ is born in an affluent family and gets to study from a reputed business school. He studies pretty good and get placed in a MNC company as a starting package of 12 lakhs/annum; Now take another example of ABC son of a cobbler who is not privileged enough of going to school since his parents cannot afford to pay for his education. He rather sells samosa/vada is a busy bazaar street; So here we are with two examples from two different backgrounds. Now read further ...Guy XYZ makes 1 lakh/month and his take home is roughly 80000; There is lot of expectation from society/community on his next steps so sometimes he had to take decisions due to peer pressure. He has to work long hours, travel often, have plenty of outside food due to his work culture. Now coming to ABC he starts his day around 2 pm where he does preparation for all the stuff he will be selling in the evening. He starts selling from 5pm and because he is in such a busy spot he is able to sell 500 each of samosas, vadas, bajjis and pani puris. He prices each of them at 7/piece and that is 2000*7=14000; Raw material, labor and other overhead expenses will be 50% so that is roughly 7000 profit per day and assuming he works 25 days in a week that is approximately 1,75,000 and even if you consider dull days, police bribe, other unexpected expenses for 75,000 it is still 100000 rupees. I may sound little exaggerating but trust me this is happening. All I wanted to say is XYZ and ABC pretty much earn the same amount of money though the society look both of them in a different way. Rich is blessed to be born in an affluent family but is it mistake of poor to be born in an economically back family ? If there is a will there is a way and God though made XYZ born in an affluent family still makes him work for it and made him cynosure of all eyes whereas ABC has no expectation from society but has to sweat and work hard to earn money. The point I am trying to make is not to say street vendor is better than job from MNC company but want to emphasize on how God has made a level playing field for everyone to prosper.
Vitamin and Iron Supplement: Vitamin and Iron deficiency is becoming very common these days and pharma companies are coming with a seperate sub division called Nutraceuticals where they focus on supplement drugs. Doctors have started to prescribe these drugs where some are available over the counter and some are allowed to be purchased only with valid prescription. People have started to buy supplements as they don't want to take chances but these drugs are expensive. Some can afford to buy whereas many cannot. Once again god's creation is beautiful - rather than having Vitamin C supplement tablets if you consume Guava it can make up for it. In fact one Guava contains twice the amount of recommended Vitamin C intake per day. By the way myself and my two boys are big time consumers of the fruit and our love towards the fruit can easily surpass Surya's love towards Jo. Iron deficiency is becoming very common these days and supplement tablets are available in plenty of brands but easy solution is moringa leaves. If you buy moringa leaves for 20 rupees that is good enough for family of four but unfortunately in this zomata era no one has the patience to pluck leaves of moringa.
Iraivanin padaipu is amazing - He made earning very difficult and spending very easy, if its other way round things will be chaotic. He makes you inherits wealth at the same time also inherit punyams/paavams from ancestors, God make elders like kids in their older age to help remind the kids this is coming soon for them too. There is always checks and balance and his creation is designed in such a way that he wants people to be humble and grounded all the time.
