What are the rules of Lakshmiji?
Questioner: What are Goddess
Lakshmiji’s—the Goddess of wealth—rules?
Dadashri: Her rules are that one cannot
make or take money dishonestly. How
can Lakshmiji be pleased with you if you violate
this rule? Then it matters little whether you
worship Goddess Lakshmiji to no end. It is of
no consequence when you perform the ritual
of washing coins on Lakshmipujan Day prior
to Diwali! Everyone does that too! Do they
wash coins in England?
Questioner: No Dada, no one washes
money there.
Dadashri: Even then does Lakshmiji
not grace their homes? What is the meaning in
washing coins? Here in India, people wash
them with yogurt also! Everyone washes coins.
When it comes to money, everyone is shrewd;
no one lags behind in doing this. People even
come and ask me, “Did you wash coins today?”
‘We’ ask, “What for?” Whenever
Lakshmiji meets me ‘we’ tell her, “Our home
address is 6, Mamani Poda, Vadodara. You
are welcome there anytime it is convenient for
you. It is your home, so you are welcome.”
This is all ‘we’ say to her; ‘we’ never fail to
show ‘our’ respect. Where money is concerned
‘we’ never say ‘we’ have no need for
money. You also speak when you go home
tonight that, ‘hey, goddess Lakshmi Devi,
whenever it is convenient for you, grace us
with a visit and leave whenever you please.
However, please come to our home. Please
take care of this home.’
‘This is your home. You are welcome anytime it is
convenient to you. It is our wish that you do
come.’ After speaking this much you are to go
to sleep meditating on ‘Shuddhatma—pure
Soul’.

The value of the right kind of money
In this current era of the time cycle of
Kaliyug if the money is pure and right, even
one rupee that is destined to bind merit karma
will give peace and happiness to everyone;
it creates an atmosphere
whereby everyone in the home will
continue to have positive and religious thoughts.

Courage
I laugh at all fears, for my Father-Mother, beloved God, is attentively awake and present everywhere with the deliberate purpose of protecting me from the temptations of evil.
