will definitely get. But it irks(annoys) you to see ten thousand in the neighbour's bank account. These kinds of things cause misery. He that invites misery upon himself is a fool.
Ego is the foundation of life
It is when people have a lot of money, that they experience agony and uneasiness and worries. These people are worried. If I were to tell you details about these owners of factories in Ahmedabad, you will say, 'Lord, let me not be in their shoes for even one day. Day in and day out they suffer like a sweet potato being roasted in an oven. 'What do you live for?' I asked one of them and he answered, *That, even I do not know.' So I told him that his existence was based on his belief that, 'I am the greater than all the others. There is no happiness in this. Don't worry about that which is not in front of you
Dadashri : Those are all departments. So you should not take the worries of one department into the other department. Complete all the work that needs to be done in one division first, where you are. But when you go into the division to eat, you must enjoy your food there and leave your worries of the other division. When you go to the bedroom, leave the worries of kitchen or the office for that department. Man suffers because he does not have such organization and does not compartmentalize his daily life. While he is having a meal, he worries about what he will do when his supervisor gets upset with him. Deal with it when he does. Enjoy your meal now.
What God said is, Enjoy what is present in front of you. Do not worry about that which is not present.' That means stay in the present moment in time and enjoy what you have.

When I asked him the reason, he replied, "My mind is in the complex affairs of my business.' So I told him, 'don't do that. When your plate is present in front of you enjoy what is there and do not worry about what is not present at this time. Enjoy whatever comes in front of you now. Live in the present.'
When you are in the kitchen, do you go to the bedroom? When you are supposed to attend to a matter at hand do you go elsewhere in your mind ?
Questioner : We go all over.
Dadashri : There are worries even while eating. It is like having a heavy bell hanging over you, making you apprehensive about when it will come crashing down on your head. In this world filled with worries and tension, it is a wonder how people without any thinking follow the rut and enjoy worldly comforts. How can this be? Yet people go about enjoying everything shamelessly. Whatever is going to happen will happen, but enjoy. Let's live it up. Is there anything in this world worth enjoying?
It is not so with the foreigners. No other country has
