How to be among top 8% of the world 's wealthy?


Do you have any clue?
Can you imagine your prayers give job to hundreds and even thousands of workers up in the house of Gods?

Read this email and tell me what you have felt after reading. I received this email from my co-sister.

"In my wildest dream, I noticed I was leisurely being shown the heaven by an angel . We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, ' This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received.

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them." I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section, my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed." How is it that there is no work going on here? ' I asked.

"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments".

"How does one acknowledge God's blessings? " I asked.

"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you, Lord. "

"What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked.

"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world 's wealthy. "

"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."

"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness .... You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day. "

"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... You are ahead of 700 million people in the world."

"If you can attend a temple,gurdawara,church or a mosque without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world."


"If your parents are still alive and still married ...you are very rare."

"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair......"

Ok, what now? How can I start?

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you care to, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are

ATTN: Acknowledge Dept.
"Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful people with whom to share it. "
If you have read this far, and are thankful for all that you have been blessed with, how can you not send it on ??? I thank God for everything, especially all my family and friends."

How to get rid of the fear of lacking.


Worldwide, in every religion (there may be exceptions), it is a common practice to ask for something when people sit in front of God to pray. It is how we were all taught and it is in our blood to ask for money, job, house, car, travel, dress, gold and what not?

Sometimes we do get what we have asked for but not always! Agreed?

What does this mean?
*Have we not been sincere in our prayer?
*When we asked for something, have we felt in all honesty that we really never needed it?
*Have we felt wrong to have asked for something immediately after asking?
*Have we secretly held on to a belief that we may not get what we asked for?

While all the above reasons might be true, there is another reason which is not generally recognized by us. God knows what to give to us and what not give to us. So, it is never needed to pray for something. God will always take of his children whether you love him or not; whether you pray or not.

If only this truth sinks in every one of us, we can easily get rid of the fear of lacking.

How to pray to get what you want?

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agree that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land and he was able to eat it's fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren!

After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, there was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, again there was nothing!

Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing!

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered.

As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?"

"My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything."

"You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings."

"Tell me, O God," the first man asked the voice, "What did he pray for that I should owe him anything?"

"He prayed that all your prayers be answered."

For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us.

This is too good not to share...

My prayer for you today is that all your prayers are answered. Be blessed.

"What you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself"

This was shared with me by a friend; I hope you will share with your friends!

The best way to pray!

Don't ask for anything specific when you close your eyes in preparation of praying. Leave the decision of what to give to you, to God. He knows absolutely what is best for you.

Here are some points with which I validate:
* A man prays for Mercedes Benz. He prayed ardently. He behaved well in his life. He stayed a true Christian. But he never got his Mercedes Benz. He was disappointed with God.

Why he didn't get what he prayed for?
Because God knows that he can't possibly maintain a Mercedes Benz. God also knew that a big car is going to need a big place to park.

Would he have gotten any other car?
Probably yes. If he had just prayed for the best car, he would have gotten one which would have been more than he wanted; why, it might have been a costlier car than MB!

Here is another example; this is a real story.
I had invested some money in share market. I prayed God that I should earn a certain amount daily.

I ended up losing daily. I invested more to recover the incurred losses. (Sounds familiar?) This time, I prayed God that I should recover my earlier losses. I lost more now.

How I turned around my fortune?
Finally, I put in my last of savings. The trading started yielding small profits. I have recovered most of my losses and yet to recover them fully. But I am making a progress.

This time, I did not pray. I just left the job providing me sustenance to God. I didn't ask for anything specific.

What did I construe?
God knows how much amount is best for me to lead a comfortable life. He knows that there are things that I will buy if I had more money than I needed. And those things that I would have bought would have brought unpleasantness or more expenditure to me.

I hope I have driven my point to the best of my efficiency. Please read it again and I am sure you will realize what I am saying.

Follow this method. It works. Trust me. It is the Law of Universe.

After all, as a mother, would you give anything to eat or play with to your child? Mothers know what is best for their children.

And God know what is the best for his children.

Don't ask for money.

Sometimes if we care to analyze our wants and desires, we may find it to our surprise that what we really wanted was just a feeling than a product.

I request you to read it again and think back. It may reveal a fact or two. Or, remember this and examine your live events and your feelings after a month or two.

I will lead you from here. Why I have written that 'Don't ask for money"? What you want money for? To buy a gadget for your kitchen, a new car, a travel package to Hawaii or India (Smile) or pay your payday loan dues-right.

Suppose you have money and achieve any or all of the above, what will be your feeling- happiness, a sense of completion, peace of mind or joy that you have fulfilled a family duty?

So, your ultimate want is good feelings. So, why don't you ask that straight away instead of money? Even without money, your own money I mean, someone may give you a pair of flight tickets to Hawaii.

What I am driving at is this: When you ask for money through your prayers, you are mostly like to imagine the ways you get it. There, you have put limitations to the Universe whereas it is limitless.


Just state your desires of good feeling like peace, contentment, happiness and let the Universe arrange the details as to how you will get it.

Another thing when you ask for money, say $1 million, the moment you get it and exhaust it to meet your wants, you will want more money to buy more things. The demands will go on and on.

Do you get my point?

What do you want really? The feeling you get out of financial security, the happy feeling of driving your own new car etc. Just ask for those kinds of feelings and let go. You are sure to get it; no exceptions.

Inspired by the books I read. My gratitude is to Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Joseph Murphy, Esther and Jerry Hicks, The Mother….
