My very easy intention didn't manifest

[Gayathri]

Sorry for double post, but one more thing. When we say that we "intend" something with our mind and expect it to manifest in our reality, sometimes we forget the role of our body and physical action - if we intend to have a million dollars in one year, we better start working on an action plan towards it, so the Universe could help manifest it! It doesn't do for us to simply sit home and pass up on every opportunity offered to us in the form of jobs, contacts, ideas and so on, waiting for 1 million dollars to arrive by post to our doorstep. (Even if it did, we would still have to walk to the door, open it, receive the parcel and take the money - so we still have a role to play).

If we just sit around day dreaming and lament that nothing manifests in our lives, we are pretty much like the devotee in the story I shared above.

So maybe the best course is to have an idea, work towards it and let the Universe take care of the rest - like bringing the resources and people when we need them and look for them?
