Prosperity, Service, Support

What is prosperity? Everyone seems to be madly pursuing the concept of prosperity without really knowing what it is. If true prosperity meant having a huge bank balance and all of the financial security possible, then there would be little need for psychiatrists and the wealthy would not be committing suicide and becoming addicted to a variety of drugs. There is a certain amount of financial security that is helpful in gaining prosperity in our present world although it is not completely essential. Look at what Mother Teresa did in her initial work. She showed that the true nature of prosperity is the sincere desire to serve the highest needs of others. When this is the focus of your life you will feel fulfilled and therefore will perceive yourself to be prosperous regardless of your material situation. Then as your desire to serve increases you will be amazed at the support that you will receive in terms of financial and material support. Without even considering it you will become prosperous because the desire to serve others will attract the natural bounty of the universe. When you understand that the full resources of the universe are available when your desire to serve is strong enough, then your intention will open the floodgates of an unlimited amount of support for your efforts. In this way you will bring true prosperity to a large number of other living beings while your life will automatically be filled with the greatest satisfaction that no amount of money can buy.
