International Day for the Eradication of Poverty
On this International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswatiji shares that the real wealth, real abundance comes not in the collection of gold and silver or vessels (typically purchased on Dhanteras) but rather in the peace and joy in our hearts when we connect deeply to the Creator (by any name, any form, any religion) and therefore connect to all of Creation. When we are connected we realize that we are already full, whole and complete, that our cup runneth over and we are eager to share with others.
As so many of our sisters and brothers suffer from extreme poverty all over the world, she urges us to pledge and commit to sharing with them, to serving them, to doing whatever we can to alleviate their poverty. That is the real prosperity, she says.
