A real good natural pearl of 3 carats costs minimum 50K.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Then there are HYBRID pearls which are produced with human intervention. Thailand, Malaysia, and many such island nations have large breeding centers where these pearls are produced &#8211; they are NOT natural and since they are produced by human beings &#8211; they are available in abundance and are damn cheap. You can get a 5 carat good quality hybrid natural in 10K.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Whereas the same NATURAL PEARL (MOTI) will cost\u00a0minimum\u00a050K for 5 carats &#8211; the best will cost 5 Lakhs!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">So be careful when you are buying a natural pearl and I say this for the larger interest of all my followers and readers who may at some point in life &#8211; may want to buy a pearl!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">But the larger question is what will a POOR MAN or POOR WOMAN will do?<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Is ASTROLOGY is only for the RICH?<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Are solutions only for those who have so much of MONEY?<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Can\u2019t a POOR also get equivalent SOLUTION?<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">God is only for the RICH and not for the POOR?<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And the answer is &#8211; GOD is MORE with the POOR than the RICH!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Jesus moved mostly amongst the POOR! Jesus LOVED the POOR.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Jesus himself was a Poor Man. Jesus is a poor carpenter&#8217;s son; he knows what poverty is. And because of that poverty he speaks a totally different language than Buddha.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Jesus is a poor man, he is not like Krishna, Buddha and Mahavira. Buddha and Mahavira have not said that no rich man can enter into paradise. Jesus says: &#8220;Even a camel can pass through the eye of a needle, but the rich man cannot enter through the gate into heaven.&#8221; &#8211; Osho<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"q-box\">\n<div class=\"CssComponent-sc-1oskqb9-0 QTextImage___StyledCssComponent-sc-1yi3aau-0  cfUEeh\">\n<div class=\"q-box unzoomed\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Jesus says\u00a0\u201c Blessed are those who are POOR in SPIRIT &#8211; for theirs is the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">\u2018POOR IN SPIRIT\u2019 is a reference to the SPIRITUAL POVERTY!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">What is Spiritual Poverty?<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">If a beggar is EGOIST &#8211; then he is NOT spiritually poor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">If a KING is EGOLESS &#8211; then he is spiritually poor!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Spiritually poor means there is nobody inside, utter emptiness, a silence prevails.

When Jesus says,\u00a0&#8220;Blessed are the poor in spirit.&#8221;\u00a0HE is talking exactly about FAQR. It does not mean poverty, it means spiritual poverty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And so it doesn\u2019t really matter whether you have millions in your bank balance or you just have a few thousand in your bank balance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">What matters is that whether you are \u2018spiritually poor\u2019 &#8211; meaning humble, grounded, understanding, and meditative!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And so if you are spiritually poor &#8211; then Jesus says &#8211; the KINGDOM OF GOD awaits you!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Apart from buying an expensive pearl of thousands of rupees\/dollars &#8211; the best remedy for those who are SPIRITUALLY POOR is &#8211;\u00a0FASTING ON MONDAYS and DONATING FRESH COW\u2019s MILK\u00a0to those\u00a0needy poor men and women who are poor\u00a0but not spiritually poor!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">MONEY is NOT the only SOLUTION.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">BEING RICH is NOT the only SOLUTION.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">BUYING EXPENSIVE GEMSTONES is NOT the only SOLUTION.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">But who wants to listen? People want some fancy solutions &#8211; they think that only by SPENDING MONEY and buying precious gemstones the solution can be found &#8211; in fact it is NOT their fault &#8211; because they are made to believe by those who are yet to know themselves!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Still for the larger interest of my followers and readers, I thought to share my answer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">As long as this answer remains, it can help those insightful readers &#8211; who are or are trying to become\u00a0\u2018Spiritually Poor\u2019!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">\u2018Inner Poverty\u2019 is needed. Buddha calls this state of poverty &#8211; NIRVANA. The Sufi address this state of poverty as FANA &#8211; FANA means a state of non-being &#8211; Nirvana!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Non-being is exactly the state of NOTHINGNESS &#8211; EMPTINESS WITHIN &#8211; that is what the master addresses as Spiritually poor!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">And my fellows &#8211; this NOTHINGNESS &#8211; this EMPTINESS &#8211; this spiritually poor state is the state that comes through\u00a0KETU!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Just a few days ago my new book \u201cWhy Ketu Can Heal\u201d is published worldwide on Amazon- do read it when you all get some time!<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">See how all is connected &#8211; see how we finally arrived at the state of KETU &#8211; SHUNYA &#8211; the inside poverty &#8211; NO EGO &#8211; NO MIND!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The mind has no answers, it has only questions.
