to transport energy from 1 soul to the other in thinking, speaking or actions for spiritual benefit
and then asking money for this for me is a red flag.
I agree with you peterbindi, it stinks when through such a gift people make big money. But than according to your logic only the gifted ones with personal income like the farmers in small villages you mentioned should practice spiritual healing or healing with bioenergy or healing with alternative medicine whatever they call. It is a dilemma how should the others in the big cities survive, who have no other jobs and income and devote their whole time to their healing activity ? Put a box for donations?What would the income tax department do to them than?
I myself have taken benefit of spiritual healing twice in my lifetime in the big cities. And i have experienced miraculous results. In one case the healer was a retired person and was doing it for sewa. I was insisting and leaving some money occasionally when i had the possibility, in order not to create karma.My life was saved with his immense efforts and energy and i just wanted to give something small in return and make a contribution to his simple life.
The other healer another time, was an internist, doctor of medicine and had different other diplomas from different universities of the world for alternative healing practices and the price was fixed. We don't go to the doctors and wait from them to look after us for free, don't we? They also have a body to look after and mostly a whole family.
Let say i find 2 apples from a three for free and then i meet some one who is very hunger and need this apple,there is something very wrong if i ask this person money for this apple,this action makes the hole thing selfish isn,t it and what is the affect of this.
You are right, it is Kaliyuga which makes everything rotten. Only allow me to make some remarks on your apples.I know, in this age the apples are not growing from themselves. The apple tree belongs to some farmer. And maybe the farmer's life depends on these apples.Maybe he has invested his whole time and money to grow them. I may get some apples with his permission or without -than it is called stealing, is not it? But these are considered small crimes we do them without thinking much of the consequences. And then if i meet somebody who wants them, a) i can give them as i got them for free, b) or if the person gives me some money in return, this money belongs to the farmer, not to me.
How i pay it back is up to my conscience. I can visit the farmer one day and give him the money,or if it is not possible i can donate the money on behalf of the farmer to somebody in need.
Yes, peterbindi, good old days ,where people were living simple lives in simple houses surrounded with gardens full of fruit trees are gone. In the country we can still find generous people who give their apples and their healing energy for free but i think we have to consider that they also have their needs to survive.
