The Mahabharata gives this teaching:
Lakshmi Devi says that she does not stay with a woman who:
Keeps the house and utensils unclean
Acts without thinking or care
Is always against her husband
Frequently wanders in others’ houses unnecessarily
Lacks modesty (lajja)
She says, “I leave such a person.”
Lakshmi Devi stays with a woman who:
Keeps the house and utensils clean and well-maintained
Uses things properly and with care
Acts with thoughtfulness and responsibility
Is supportive and harmonious in family life
Has modesty and good character
Takes care of home, husband, and children with sincerity
👉 Cleanliness and discipline attract Lakshmi Devi
👉 Good character and responsibility are essential
👉 Carelessness and improper behavior drive away Lakshmi
In short:
Where there is cleanliness, humility, and responsibility, there is the presence of Lakshmi Devi.
