Winning back Money
Watch the Breathe with Sudha Video here: https://youtu.be/rgrtjl1nh1U
How do we approach money as a spiritual practice? How can we bring light onto this sticky matter that is often disassociated from spirituality or obsessed over in material life? Can it perhaps be the bridge that helps bring together spiritual life and material life into just LIFE?
Since the early days at A Sunlit Path, we have been experimenting with different ways to approach money. Auroville is an apt place to experiment as it aspires to be a moneyless society. Yet, it is important to recognise and start from where we are today while aiming for the ideal.
We are generally either preoccupied or uncomfortable with money. Few of us have reflected on our relationship with money and found a place of balance and freedom. Yet, such a freedom is what will naturally lead us to the ideal. And any reducing of the complexity that is our interconnected world today kills the possibility of growing naturally into the ideal. It’s a misconception that most Aurovillians have given everything up for the calling and are without much money, just as it is a misconception that most foreign visitors have more money than most Indian visitors. Reality is much more complex and challenges us to keep the process alive within us rather than resorting to rules that create division and deaden the process.
It has certainly been a challenge, but a worthy one as it has forced us to go deeper into faith in the face of uncertainty. It has also demanded more communication and alignment with facilitators and with participants on values of faith and surrender rather than security and comfort. To bring light and awareness to every aspect of how we function at A Sunlit Path helps us walk the sunlit path along with you. We invite you today to keep the process alive within you, to invite the discomfort, the unknown, the surrender, and the faith that will ultimately leads us all towards a world that is abundantly moneyless.
