Devi Lakshmi - Goddess Of Prosperity

Devi Lakshmi - The Goddess of wealth, Is selective and choosy. When she gives, she gives in abundance, Filling you with plentitude and prosperity. She shuns the lazy man, full of inertia, She refrains from helping the lethargic people. A wealthy man has to keep a strict awareness On himself or how it affects him. If he becomes proud and conceited, Then, Goddess Lakshmi knows to turn the table, She becomes ‘Alakshmi'- She pushes the rich man into a dark abyss! She reserves her affection For those who earn their wealth In an honest and sincere way! Goddess Lakshmi blesses only Those who toil hard and share Their wealth to reach their goal in life! Goddess Lakshmi visits places That are spotlessly clean and bright. She abhors dirty and filthy places! To remain the favourite of Lakshmi, One has to cultivate cleanliness, clarity Of body, mind, speech and the surroundings. The white owl who keeps vigil and alert, Like a night watchman Is the vehicle of Goddess Lakshmi! A strict awareness of every action in life, A constant check on falling a prey to arrogance Is a compulsion, to remain healthy, wealthy and happy!
