Overcoming the 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 realization of Baba. 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.

 

Always take failure as an experience. Do not take it 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 our

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....

 

" Who so ever devoutly offers to me a leaf, a flower, or fruit or

water, of that pure hearted man, I accept that pious offering " .

 

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

ever you meet.

 

OM SAI SRI SAI JAI JAI SAI!!! Let us pray at the lotus feet of Bhagwan Baba who

is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and

increase our devotion towards him

 

Jai Sai Ram

Swamy Mahadevan

Bow to Shri Sai-Peace be to all

Baba Bless you ever!!!
