About the Book
What is prosperity? How best can we attain to it? Of what is it constituted? What are the laws which govern this highly desired state?
Revered Dada J.P. Vaswani reinterprets prosperity for us in terms that we can relate to. He redefines prosperity as a state of abundance, contentment and self-fulfillment which includes material wealth, physical wellbeing, emotional health and spiritual welfare. Reading his magical Formula for Prosperity, we will come to realise that true wealth is not confined to bank accounts, safety vaults and fat paychecks. It is that which ever multiplies, and never diminishes!
Prosperity, Revered Dada tells us, is not just having lots of money. It is about an attitude, a mindset, that thinks in terms of abundance, instead of lack and want. As he tells us forcefully, “Change your attitude, and you can change your life!”
Revered Dada has no short cuts to offer. He has no get-rich-quick tricks to promote. His formula emphasises those timeless, universal values on which the true and lasting wealth of this world was produced in the past, and continues to be produced today- honesty, integrity, generosity and hard work. When you translate these values into deeds of daily life, you too can earn your wealth and prosperity.
So go ahead, and discover true abundance and contentment with the help of Revered Dada. As always, he captures the essence of things, with his characteristic lucidity, precision, wisdom and good humour!
Foreword
I would like to begin this book on Formula for Prosperity with the words of Gurudev Sadhu Vaswani:
Wealth must be earned, not simply got, or ‘legally’ possessed. The earning of wealth draws out your powers, teaches you concentration, helps a planned existence and is a contribution to the welfare at once, of your personality and society ...
The thoughts and suggestions I wish to share with you through this book are based on Sadhu Vaswani’s “Gospel of Wealth”, from which I have quoted above. In this and other articles, he emphasises the notion that poverty is NOT morally and spiritually superior to prosperity; and that a vital nation and its thinking people should not repudiate wealth, but seek to convert it into national, social and individual prosperity.
My “Formula of Prosperity” is rooted in this fundamental assumption that money is not in itself evil; that true wealth is valuable; and that the ideal of prosperity encompasses a sense of abundance and well-being that transcends mere wealth and money.
Are you wealthy? Do you aspire to greater wealth? Then, let me say to you: you do not have to feel guilty about your wealth, or ashamed of your genuine aspirations. But you must remember that the best thing you can do with your wealth is to convert it into personal, social and national well-being.
May God grant you the grace of true prosperity!
