Sri Sri Ravi Shankar speaks about the sign of prosperity. In general we think the person who has freedom to go wherever he wants to go, whenever he wants, is a prosperous person.
But if we look at businessmen, or millionaires, they have lot of money, lot of freedom to go anywhere, but are they really prospered? They are worried about their shares in market, businesses. They are free outside but their minds are filled up thoughts & worries. Now do you think he is prosperous?
Wake up and see You are rich! IF you smile often, you are rich. Someone with lot of money cannot smile. check how many friends do you have and how many friends rich people have.
Sri Sri says he is not supporting poverty but he is saying come out the poor mind sets & poor thoughts that we have. It is important to have your minds rich.
Poor or rich should not be decided on basis of money but richness of thoughts, and minds. Prosperity should be measured on willingness to share what you have with all around you. The sign of prosperity is the trust and confidence that you’ll get what you need tomorrow.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Being Content is the KeyLive your life to the best. If you are useful to people, there will be many people to help you when you are need. There are many examples likeMother Teresa, Vinoba Bhave for whom there were hundreds of people to care of them. Serve everyone without any expectation and miracles will happen to you too. Give your devotion a chance to work.
Contentment is another sign of prosperity. He gives examples of people from his family who served selflessly and all of them have great faith that what ever they do the others they will get it. They all were always happy and ready to serve. All felt this world as One family.
