What is Maro?
The word is short for
magokoro, which means “true heart,” or “sincere heart,” in Japanese. You could
say maro is strong in those who have a pure heart and lead an upright life.
Even in Japanese, it’s hard to define maro because it’s a spiritual state, but
it could be called a state of selflessness; the opposite of ego. It can be
thought of as the deeper end of one’s consciousness, closer to the collective
consciousness, the level at which all of humanity and the universe are one. As
such,maro is the wellspring of our unconditional love for others, and also for
ourselves.
Maro is also the key
to success. Wahei says that those who are in touch with maro always create
win-win situations for themselves and the people around them. It follows that
if you have a pure heart and true sincerity, not only will people treat you
better, but you’ll begin to feel the whole universe support you as well. When you Maro-Up,
1.You become beautiful
and attract all good things, because to maro-up you must read, write, think,
and speak beautiful thoughts. Doing so fills you with the loving wisdom that
radiates from you, shines through all you do, and attracts all good to you.
2. You love your life
because to maro-up you must always follow your passion and intuition to take
the path that intrigues or excites you, and so your life is always moving in
the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment.
3. You become
grateful because you must say “Thank you” to everything you encounter, as this
is the quickest and easiest route to being in touch with your maro. By giving
thanks, you are able to appreciate the sheer miracle of simply existing,
which allows you to see the miracles that surround you.
When your maro
increases, Wahei (Often called “the Warren Buffet of Japan,” Wahei Takeda is the most successful investor in the country, and no doubt he’s the happiest one, too!) says you “maro-up” and invite many miracles in your life.
Without
fail, Wahei works to maro-up, in part by applying his
attitude of gratitude and his habit of saying “Thank you” every day of his
life, and this has brought him to a place of great wisdom—and
enormous success.
Gratitude moves people” Wahei
Wahei believes that kindness,
generosity and appreciation of what he has are the keys to how he has been
able to maintain and grow his wealth throughout his life. Drawing on the wisdom
of the Shinto religion, he has closely examined how people can invite good
fortune into their lives.
The Power of “Thank you”
Wahei might be a very
wealthy man, but he never forgets the power of the word “Arigato,” meaning
“Thank you” in English. He still makes a practice of saying “Thank you,”
hundreds and sometimes thousands of times a day and is always alert to share
this technique with those in need of it.
Wahei on Money
Here’s what he
said: Money wants to go around everywhere. When it goes to everyone, then it’s
very happy because, in its essence, money is love and it’s good. If you want to
keep money with you for a time, celebrate money when it comes to you, give
thanks for the money, acknowledge the happiness this money is bringing and will
bring to you. The people who make money are the people who light up society.
It’s all in the heart.
If your heart loves money and treats money preciously, then money will be drawn
to you. When you treat money as the light of love, when you appreciate the
money that you have, this is how you keep money flowing to you.
Money is born all
over the place. It just keeps remaking itself. Money is really energy. It shows
how wealthy you are inside.
I hope reading and then applying Maro-Up and Arigato in your life will bring wealth and happiness in your life.
