“The
fear of scarcity emerges in relation to money, but also in relation to
feelings. When you are controlled by a fear of scarcity, you need to
wield power over others in order to feel secure. This fear breaks your
connection with the source and you feel powerless. So the only way you
get power is through robbing other people’s energy by making them feel
inferior, guilty, incompetent, or wrong. In other words, making them
feel fearful as well. This lowers the other person’s awareness to the
same level as your own, and you feel stronger. But the price you pay is
very high, because this creates karma that will pursue you
indefinitely.”
Sri Prem Baba
