Klaibyam ma sma gama partha naitattwayupapadyathey
Anaryajustam aswargyam akeerthikaram arjunah !!
Sometimes I think I am a lot spiritual when compared to others or less worldly. But I think that as my thought , bby thought I mean an impulse that arises in my mind that lasts for a microsecond and then fades away. Thoughts have got just the significance of a bee going towards the light in search of attraction and then killing itself or suiciding itself. Those people who day dream and spend their time wasting thinking are in reality wasting their energy and investments for a futile cause. But being that way, I mean a spiritual path does not make me happy in a complete sense, may be because of my ignorance about spirituality. I feel as though a sinner and I am in a path of never ending journey to purify myself . But feeling is frustrating in the sense that I am not going to achieve that perfection. Saw recently a post in one of the fb walls the need for a place called Utopian land in our real maps, because that is where our thoughts land ! The word utopia itsef brings to my mind a negative sense of impossibility, that which is not possible or never possible by man. Ofcourse the great Napolean Bonaparte , once truly said that nothing is impossible and that even the word impossible itself says i m possible ! Wow, now thats one hell of a quote, but my thoughts concentrated on the faults of this quote and the derivation was thus, ok....nothing is impossible, what about the things that are never possible. Anyway I think every person if he may be materialistic or not must yearn for success. Success is reality while utopian thoughtts are not. But the criteria of success may be different. Monetary gains cannot be defined as success assessing criteria. Success is a much more elaborate state of mind, not to be measured by how much you earn, its just a popular belief, a common mans belief. By common man I do mean those who are followers, who stand back from everything, the cowards, those who have no opinoin of their own, those who can be easily mislead by the piped piper, the poor rats, les miserables,...damn donno why I get frustrated when I say common man, as man was made to think, and donno who created such a system where education was given for the elite only and others were untouchables. Depriving them of the education , of the developments of contemporary science , made them to believe in the rules of the land lord. Feudal system still exists in our country and dalits do live, yes the very old dalits , the harijans. How come we use that term still ? We dont use the term blacks now! Now I am a bit deviating from the matter, about success, you may ask
what i success ? Success is a state of mind when even after repeated failures you learn from your mistakes correct it and get out of the failure completley as though you never failed but your memeories of failure clings on to you. Success is never ending learning. On the contrary, failure is the inability to retain enthusiasm so as to continue even after the memories of failure is gone ! That idea of the need to succeed to cherish life is beautifully said by the Lord Krishna in a discourse to Arjuna, a counselling of all sorts, that you must in all sense overcome this impotency, impotency to act that too in a war scenarion, that may bring you never ending doom. Why do I need to succeed you may ask ? You need to succeed for you ! The shift is evident throughout this writings from spirituality to success, you may ask why a person who has renounced feel the need to success, my friend spirituality is the unavoidable path towards success, cause success involves learning, no matter what or about what damn thing.
