Pure and Selfless Love is my only wealth.

You cannot attain God by your wealth. God can be attained only through devotion. Satyabhama in her pride hoped to possess Krishna all for herself by her wealth. She chose to weigh Him against the huge amount of gold she possessed, and failed. Narada made her realise her folly by showing that a single basil (Tulasi) leaf offered by Rukmini with real devotion exceeded all the wealth of Satyabhama. Satyabhama symbolises desire while Rukmini represents devotion. Krishna says that He is pleased with the offering of a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water. Do not take this literally. Your body is the leaf, the flower is the blossom of your heart, your mind is the fruit, and the tears of joy is the water - these are the acceptable offerings to God. You will have everything in life if you have love in you. Never hate anybody. Make this your goal in life. This is My message for you today!
