There is so much talk about success. Have you ever thought what success is? Success is simply ignorance about one's own capabilities.
Success is ignorance about the power of the self. We assume that we are capable of doing very little. If there are obstacles, we become clear about our objective. With a calm and serene mind, think of all possibilities.
Know that failures are stepping stones for greater success. Actually, there are no failures in life. All the seeming failures are only stepping stones for greater success. If you feel the obstacle is too much, deep prayer can work miracles.
The feeling that "I am blessed" can help you overcome any failure.
Once you realize that you are blessed, then all the complaints disappear, all the grumbling disappears, all the insecurities disappear, a sense of not being loved disappears, wanting love disappears.Ego is always ambitious and wants to do tough jobs like climbing Mount Everest.
Whereas in a simple act like watching a butterfly, watering the garden, watching the birds or the sky, can bring deep relaxation, and relaxation connects you with your source. Just come out of your little shell and feel free.
There is a saying: Behind every successful man is a woman. I will modify this: Behind every success there is the Divine saying "I am behind you".
Prayer is a vital tool to improve your life. It also nurtures values like integrity and honesty. Prayer happens in two situations, When you feel grateful or when you feel utterly helpless.
If you are not grateful and prayerful, you will be miserable. In either case your prayers will be answered.
What you can do, you do. What you cannot do, you pray for!
It is said that the divine dawns in you when you pray for it, when you cry for it, when you sing for it. The divine is only waiting for you to dig a little deeper into yourself. Because, it can then fill you with much more nectar! Divine wants you to create more space in you.
The higher goals in life can only be realized through a few minutes of meditation and introspection. Any joy you experience in life is from the depth of your self, when you let go all that you hold on to and settle down being centered in that space.
That is called meditation.
Actually, meditation is not an act; it is the art of doing nothing! The rest in meditation is deeper than the deepest sleep that you can ever have because in meditation you transcend all desires.
Meditation is letting go of anger from the past and all the planning for the future. Meditation is accepting this moment and living every moment totally with depth.
Just this understanding, and a few days of continuous practice of meditation can change the quality of our life.
It is interesting to note there are many individuals who are jealous of the popularity of this simple person Shri Ravi shankar. So they can never appreciate what he says because their thinking will be focused on the popularity of Shri Ravi Shankar. If a person is not grateful to his existence, he cannot be compared to animal, because even animals show their gratitude by contributing to this environment. My request to the editor, please do check the contents before publishing the comments.
I am sorry to say, that Ravi Shankar (Sri Sri..purposely ommitted) is a businessman of a different nature. He is earning crores of rupees and dollars. He has hype from media also and so, gullible people have accepted him as a modern GURU. This is unfortunate. His speech..... If you feel the obstacle is too much, deep prayer can work miracles.....is totally unacceptable in present day world. "Hard work,sincerity, honesty,practice only will give success" he should note, and NOT Prayer.
