Peace or Prosperity?
Prosperity is like a well decorated palace in which beautiful furniture and ornamentations have been placed by you.
And Peace is like the Light that lights up the Palace.
If the lights go off, you will find yourself stumbling against the very furniture you placed there and falling over its ornamentations.
Your own furniture and ornamentations will cause you hurt.
Your prosperity will become a painful experience.
But if there is Light in the Palace everything appears beautiful and you dont stumble and fall. It is only then that you can enjoy the Prosperity.
So, it is with Peace and Prosperity. Peace is like the Light that Lights up your Prosperity, and Prosperity is like the Palace which is lighted up by Peace.
Therefore you need both - Peace as well as Prosperity!
Then again you cannot enjoy a palace of gold if its foundation is shaken by an earthquake.
In a like manner you cannot enjoy prosperity if your mind is shaken by an earthquake of unrest and lacks peace.
You cannot enjoy the best of meals by the best of chefs in the best restaurants of the world if your stomach is upset and you feel like vomiting. In order to enjoy the food the stomach must be at rest.
Therefore in all conditions we find that we cannot enjoy the world or its prosperity if there is no peace within.
The first requirement to enjoy prosperity is to have peace within the heart.
I repeat: Man needs peace as well as prosperity in order to enjoy the world.
