Success is something that we all want to have. Who doesn't want to be

successful? Even a sanyasi wants to be successful, a successful sanyasi. As a

human being we all have a number of ambitions, desires, likes and dislikes are

there and you want to fulfill them . Nothing wrong . Somehow in this country

there is a widespread belief that, to have a desire is a weakness.That is wrong

thinking. Desiring is a privilege of a human being, only a human being can have

a desire. But at the same time, this desire is something to be fulfilled, if it

is not fulfilled, then it is a problem. Therefore they say desire is bad, just

like, if you say you have a headache, they say remove the head, then who is free

form headache. So, removing head if you have a headache is a silly thing. No

desire can be fulfilled without effort, there should be effort, there should be

enthusiasm, you require courage to undertake anything. Effort, you may have,

enthusiasm, you may have,

courage you may have,...no knowledge, then you will get into hot waters. If a

planning and clean knowledge of what I am in for, if that is not there then all

the efforts are of no use. When everything is there and you don't take your

Shakthi (resources) into account, which is very important. One should

necessarily take into account, the Shakthi one can command . On the way, please

understand, there are obstacles…Don’t think that there will be a clean road.

There is no clean road anywhere. Therefore, you find there are varieties of

obstructions. Obstacles, will be there and one should be able to recast ones

plan one's own ideas, and marshal one's resources and then again overcome the

obstacle... Where these six qualities exist, there the Lord gives a helping

hand, why because still you require the Lord. Because there is an unknown

factor, a factor over which you have no control whatsoever and that makes the

difference between success and failure and

that factor should not be given simply to chance and we don't. The Hindus, the

Vaidikas, the Vedic people belong to this tradition, the Vedic tradition, we

take the chance factor , into account and we call it Daivam (Lord), and we

invoke Daivam, by our own Prarthana (prayer) . There your freewill is used and

your freewill is highly manifest by your prayer because without prayer also you

can work, and with prayer also you can work. And it is prayer that takes care of

the unknown factor, which makes the difference between success and failure. In

every undertaking - you can get more, you can get less , you can get equal or

you can get the opposite...and these four types of results you have for every

action and naturally you should know how to handle them and therefore, if you

know how to handle them, I would say, you are a successful person.

Dear Bhushanji,

 

Namaste!

 

That was a nice post by H.H. Saraswati. I visited your blog

and saw the video on Anger Management. Pity, it was only for

2 minutes duration. The videos below from Youtube were interesting

to watch and hear specially first one of Bho Shambo. I could not

help hearing it 3 times in a row. While exploring further I was

happy to hear the rendings of Dr. Ananda who happens to be my

yoga teacher Late Dr. Swami Gitananda's son.

 

Thanks for the post.

 

With warm wishes,

 

Sudhakar
