Do You Want Wealth To Be Showered Upon You, Then Here’s What You Need To!

Goddess – Come hither, and quickly load the treasure onto my chariot! Don’t you know it is my birthday today? I need to go earth and shower this wealth on the deserving / suitable people

Helper – Oh Goddess, it is futile to carry along so much of the treasure. You are not going to come across a large number of deserving people! 

Goddess – What are you saying? These days I am worshiped in almost every household! Poor human beings, they work so hard around the year, expecting my arrival! I can’t afford to disappoint my worshippers! 

Helper – Who is asking you to disappoint your worshippers? But you can’t break your own law!

Goddess – Don’t make excuses! Come, let’s quickly go to earth

(...on earth, even after roaming from evening to late in the night, the Goddess could shower wealth on barely a few people. She becomes quite dejected.)

In the same sad tone she asked the helper – How did this happen? Everybody knows that I ride the ‘ULLU’ (An owl is called 'Ullu' in Hindi which also means a fool)...and bless only simple and straightforward people. Then today, even on the occasion of dhanteras, how come I didn’t find many such people?

To this the helper replied – Well, didn’t I tell you earlier that, now times have changed. Not too many of your devotees are left on earth. A lot of people desire you, but they are scared of taking the right path to become your favourites! Now they resort to robbery, cheating, and notorious activities to try and gain you. These days no one believes that you “sit on an Ullu”. Instead, everyone has found a short cut to worship you. Otherwise, day and night they only flaunt their smartness! 

Angered by hearing this, the Goddess said – That’s it... let them struggle to get me! I don’t want to bless anyone with anything. I like only riding my Ullu and will continue to do so! So, now onwards, I will not open heartedly shower abundant wealth. Only as and when I find people who are simple, straightforward and don’t show their over-smartness, no matter how few they are! But those who try to obtain me by devious means or manipulations, I will make them pine for wealth all their life.
