Difference in Wealth & Prosperity
6
Wealth is a physical thing. It is measured in terms of materialistic
possessions one is having.&
Prosperity is the feeling of having more than required. Feeling of
adequacy or abundance with that wealth.
We mostly fail to make the difference today.
We keep working for wealth without realizing that the basic desire is for
the feeling of prosperity.
Think and answer?????
Accumulating more and more wealth while feeling deprived
Or
Having requisite wealth and feeling prosperous.

Wealth is just a means to reach there our ultimate basic desire is to feel
prosperous.Else it is like trying to fill water in a glass which has no bottom.
