Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 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. 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 Let us pray Shri Sai to give us the intellect and wisdom to make tomorrow's world a happier place to stay always with unity by following his principle of " Shraddha " and " Saburi " Let us pray to Sri Sai to grant us steady faith and love on him. Jai Sai Ram Swamy Mahadevan Bow to Shri Sai-Peace be to all Baba bless you ever!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
