LAWS OF PROSPERITY IN THE HOME : 10.1 - Swami Chidananda

10. Wealth in the Sadhaka :

I.
Now we come to the most important aspect of Goddess Lakshmi as the Moksha-Dayini (bestower of liberation).

Mother in Her aspect of Lakshmi is of the Rajo-Guna; because through Rajas activity is kept up.

Life has to be preserved by dynamic processes.

But yet She has within Herself the inner resources of pure Sattva, because Vishnu partakes of Sattva Guna and ultimately She has to merge in Her third aspect as Goddess Saraswati.

As we approach the borderland between the manifestations of Lakshmi and Saraswati, Mother Lakshmi manifests as Moksha Lakshmi—that is the means that help us to attain deliverance.

II.
The Sixteenth Chapter of the Gita gives us some of the main qualities in which the Mother is manifest.

She is manifest as 1.fearlessness, 2. purity of heart, 3. steadfastness in knowledge and Yoga, 4. alms-giving, 5. control of the senses, 6. sacrifice, 7. study of the scriptures, 8. austerity, 9. straightforwardness, 10. harmlessness, 11. truth, 12. absence of anger, 13. renunciation, 14. peacefulness, 15. absence of crookedness, 16. compassion to beings, 17. uncovetousness, 18. gentleness, 19. modesty, 20. absence of fickleness, 21. vigour, forgiveness, 22. fortitude, 23. absence of hatred and  24. pride.

These are the twenty-four Daivi-Sampati (divine qualities), aspects in which  GODDESS OF AUSPICIOUSNESS.

Lakshmi takes Her abode in the heart of the spiritual aspirant.
