 Hi, happy Monday. Welcome back to another Monday Motivation. I'm Shiva here, the trainer and motivational speaker on a mission to reach out to a million people. Today is a special day. Today is the Festival of Varnam. And that reminds me of the great Emperor Bali, who is believed to visit the planet Earth every year on this day. What a time we're all going through now. If only we could learn about this great king and pick up just one quality of him, that could be a savior for the human race at this point in time. What is that quality? Let me take you through this story very quickly. Emperor Bali was one of the greatest kings ever. His rule was characterized by peace, prosperity, truth and righteousness. He was a great barrier too. He expanded the empire to all the worlds, conquering even the heaven and the other worlds, the patala. In the process, King Indra lost his kingdom heaven and he approached Lord Vishnu and requested him to help him get his kingdom back. Then Vishnu took pity on King Indra and took the avatar of the vaman, the little boy, the dwarf and approached Bali. Seeing the vaman, Bali offered him to choose what he wanted. Vaman promptly and immediately requested for the land enough that he could cover it with three bases. And Bali, thinking that it was one of the easiest things to do, immediately granted. And then, his Guru Sukracharya, who was next to him, suspected something wrong with this kind of fish, tried persuading Bali to retract from delivering the products. He also reminded, he also told Bali who actually the vaman was. However, Bali did not agree to break the law. In fact, he said, what great bhoonyas I might have done that Lord Vishnu himself came to me asking for my help and that I got an opportunity to give him what he wanted. And I will not lose this chance of giving God what he wants. Even if I have to lose my entire kingdom, then you know, Vaman has grew in size so much that he could cover entire heaven and the universe with just one pace. And in the other world, the pathala with the second pace and asked Bali, where is the place for the third pace? Then, saying nothing except his own head, Bali showed him his head to keep Vaman on his third pace. And Vishnu, who is actually in the form of Vaman, plays his third step on the head of Bali and pushed him into the pathala. What is the one thing that we could learn from Bali? Righteousness. What is Righteousness? Bali gave his word and kept it. Even after knowing the difficulty involved in doing it, we could make this world a better place to live. And a safer place to sustain for some time to come by learning that one thing from Bali and that is learning to be more Righteous in whatever we do. You know Lord Vishnu blessed Bali for his Righteousness with Moksha, entry into the heaven and also another boon that he could rule the entire universe for one day, every year. And that is the time he visits the earth, the place he ruled and the people whom he loves so much. And the God would save all of us if we learn to live our life also in the Righteous Man. And the key word that I want to leave you with this week is Righteousness. Thank you once again for watching this video. Happy Vonam to you and your family.
