What is the meaning of success in life?
Success is a personal
thing; the definition of success depends on the perception of the individual.
While one person feels successful after achieving something, for others it may
be a waste of time and energy. Success in life means feeling satisfaction with
whatever a person has in his hands, an aspiring person cannot be called
successful because this race is not going to end anywhere. After getting one
thing, the desire to get another thing is born immediately.
A person runs after
what is not in his hands and thinks that after achieving such a thing, he will
become a successful person, but the thing becomes useless as soon as it comes
into his hands. Many people can say that such a person is very successful
because he has a lot of wealth or he has a lot of fame in society. However,
such information from any mouth provides more about the speaker's view, and
less about the person concerned. In fact, he is saying that only money and fame
are important in his life and that his eyes are only following such a thing.
Whereas, it may be possible that a person who has acquired so much wealth or
fame is highly dissatisfied and his mind starts racing to get those things that
he does not have.
As time passes the
definition of success changes, it changes for every individual, it changes for
the society, it changes for the country. So, if you are satisfied with your
existence without comparing with others then you are a successful person. You
are yourself and remember 'God' took nine months to create you. For nine
months, nature has been continuously and silently working on your mother's
womb, only then such a creation has taken place. Like a sculptor works
continuously to make a beautiful idol but this idol is alive because The Sculptor
Himself is God.
In this court called
life, you are the judge, you are the lawyer and you are the culprit. Therefore,
there is no point in feeling dissatisfied by comparing yourself with others.
When you drive your car on the road you will find that there are always some vehicles
in front of your car and some behind your car and all of them are going towards
their respective destination. You cannot overtake everyone and you cannot be
behind everyone and you will get the same situation again whenever you drive
your vehicle on the road. So, if someone overtakes you, let them do so because
their destination is different, they have to achieve something else in their
life and they may be in a hurry to get there, and that is not your destination.
Everyone's destination is different here, so their timing and speed are
different.
In this book, I explained deeply, what are those necessary steps a
person has to take if he wants to do something constructive in his life.
Everyone wants to enjoy the fruit of creation, everyone wants to enjoy the
fragrance of beautiful flowers, but these fruits and flowers and not available
in the market, it is a journey and you can enjoy such things if you will walk
on a certain path. I have explained how to travel on these paths and what
necessary steps and measures you should take to reach your destination.
