Fear of failure.......!!!

 

We have to know what failure is and what failure can do. Fear is

bound to go when we know that failure is not something shameful,

damaging, destructive or painful. Feel that failure is something

natural. When a child starts to walk, he often stumbles and falls

down. But he does not feel that stumbling is a failure. He thinks

that it is a natural process to stand up for a moment and then fall

again.

 

If we think of failure in that light, not as something that is

against or totally distant from reality but as something that is

forming, shaping, molding and becoming reality, then there cannot be

any fear. We take failure as something contrary to our expectation

and our God-realization. But failure is not contrary to our

realization. Failure is something that is urging us towards our

realization. What we call failure, in Baba's Eye, is only an

experience.

 

We must take failure as an experience and as a finished product or as

the culmination of an experience, but rather as the process of an

experience. If we think that failure is the end of your experience,

then we are mistaken. In a long race, one may start very slowly, but

then gradually he increases his speed and eventually he reaches his

goal. If he thinks that since his start was slow, he will not be able

to reach the destination, then he is making a deplorable mistake. If

there is no failure, naturally we will run the fastest. But if there

is failure, take it as an experience that is just beginning. The end

will be success. And then who can say that we have failed

 

Baba said "Purification of mind is absolutely necessary; without it,

all our spiritual endeavors are nothing, but useless-show and pomp".

 

Baba is every where just feel him and keep on saying `Om Sai Ram' to

whom so ever you meet.
