RE: Small Question from Hyderabad

Mr. Knk,

Welcome to the group and I am sure your contributions will have positive impact in the group discussions.  The question you raised is excellent and very relevant to what is going on in AP today.

The simply answer is most (not all) of the WELL EDUCATED NRI's are having strong desire and feel enormous peer pressure to have materialistic things like land, buildings, luxury cars, gold so on and so forth. We just want to be materialistically superior to others and talk about all day about such things.

We go to temples every weekend and pray to God to give us more materialistic things. The mighty God has no interest in materialistic things, he is interested in spiritual things. Unfortunately, we so called educated people don't understand this simple fact. I think that is why the prices are going through the roof and a common man can't even afford to rent a apartment in such cities. My logical thinking ( is there is such thing in me) is telling me that it is going to get worse in the future.

"God.... please keep our minds away from materialistic things and give energy to focus on the spiritual path. God....please help us to understand the simple fact that the great saints Mahatma Gandhi & Mother Teresa cared for humanity and spiritual path not for materialistic path."

With love,

Ramesh
