In Satsang with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar someone asked the question that if God is all
abundant, all full and we are connected to God, then why are we in debt, except for some?
Why do they have, and we don't have?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar answers with a question – “Is it only money? You have abundance, yet
at the same time, you are indebted. So how can both be true? How can you be indebted
and at the same time have abundance?”
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: “Somebody says: An abundance of indebtedness!”
“When you say you are indebted, that means you have received. Otherwise how can you be
indebted? So be thankful for being indebted, because you have received. Those who have
received should feel indebted.”
“If you don't feel indebted, you cannot have abundance. So the more indebted you feel, the
more abundance you have.”
“When the disciples met Jesus, they were not very successful, did not catch very many fish.
When they met Jesus, he told them exactly where to fish and that's when they got lots of
fish and then they decided to follow Jesus.”
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar reasserts: “Feel indebted. Feel gratitude. Then abundance comes. As
long as you are wanting for abundance you get in debt. Feel indebtedness and gratitude,
then abundance comes.”
“Abundance and indebtedness coexist. You think you are in debt (financially), but you really
are not. It is better to feel totally indebted (grateful to the Divine), because every bit of what
you have, doesn't belong to you, including your body. Then you are infinitely indebted for
your body, for Knowledge, for things you have received, and for your own life. Then you
bask in the abundance of the Creator.”
Someone in the audience says to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: “I feel very indebted. Thank you!”
