In The Secret of Divine Civilization book, 'Abdu'l-Baha has explained that:
"Above all, if a judicious and resourceful individual should initiate measures which would universally enrich the masses of the people, there could be no undertaking greater than this, and it would rank in the sight of God as the supreme achievement, for such a benefactor would supply the needs and insure the comfort and well-being of a great multitude."
This explanation has became an inspiration and motivation to the founding of the Global Prosperity Asset Management (GPAM), that is want to promote the endeavor of "...universally enrich the masses of the people..." according to the capacity that they have.
