Heart Over Matter

I hope you agree with me that we all are living beings...to be more precise human beings. God's greatest creation.
What is the purpose of this God's greatest creation???
It is to earn money and earn money and earn lots of money and earn lots and lots of money...but earn money for??? Obviously for buying land, bungalows, flats, shares, car, home theatre, music system, latest mobiles, refrigerators, washing machine, furniture, antique items........and if we have one-one of all these...then again one more set of land, shares, car, home theatre, music system, latest mobiles.....and after that 1 more set and this goes on and goes on and goes on....
So you must be thinking the title should be 'Man Over Matter' or 'Matter Over Everything' rather than Heart Over Matter....So here we go..
Actually the truth is that in the race of acquiring all these materialistic things...we really suppose our lust for paper money and eventually the above mentioned non-living things of comfort as the voice of our heart. But there is a truth that every heart knows. Our heart wants love, friendship, togetherness, peace...in one word happiness.
Here the point is not that we should not work or earn money or not buy all these ...but the point is not to forget we are human beings; we are having higher purpose on this earth; to serve not only human beings but also our mother earth; not only to reach stars but also to reach hearts, not only to teach our next generation how to operate computer or playstation but also how to have a compassionate heart; not only to invent higher technology but also to safeguard what nature has given us; not only to increase our bank balance but also to preserve fresh air and pure water.
We believe what we see. And we see only matter. We never see heart. Heart is something that can only be felt and in this fast moving world, we rarely get time to feel. People alienate themselves with what is happening around them and they indulge themselves in all the luxury they can afford. They think that this attachment and detachment can bring them happiness. But if this had been true then we would not have so many cases of depression or the lifestyle diseases. Some people think that they are not millionaires like Warren Buffet or Bill Gates or Tatas or Ambanis, they have their own needs so that should strive to achieve their personal goals. Some people think that they don't have time to join any NGO or any community service. But our earth can also be served by small small acts, it doesn't always need lots of money or time. It just needs heart and sometimes only smile.
The truth is and will always be that happiness is all what we need. Everything has got its own significance and may be a part of life but the heart of life is love, friendship, peace....and in two words..true happiness. Value your family, love & friends. Have a compassionate heart that can feel others pain & joy. Serve mother earth.
Work smartly with passion, earn money with dignity & spend for need as well as luxury (there is absolutely no harm in that) but to enjoy the bliss of true happiness..we need to keep in mind that 'Matter' always comes after 'Heart' and 'Heart is always before, after & over Matter'.
That is it!!!
