A successful life is the one which has no desires left in the mind at the time of
death.
If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
The "Third Force" not only exists in this world but is also functional in full force.
However, it has nothing to do with God or destiny.
The act which gives you happiness, which even the mind gets excited to do...
how could it be a 'sin'? After death, anyway you will not be able to do anything.
'Joy' emanates only from those actions which bear fruits instantly. 'Act' today and
'result' tomorrow, such karmas can only impart pains and pleasures.
Leaving everything else aside, you first have to establish communication between
yourself and the supreme power. As soon as the communication is established,
all your illusions will be shattered. And the one who doesn't have any "illusion",
who can stop him from mounting the pinnacle of success?
When you are doing what everyone else is doing, why cry and crib...? What is
happening to all, is happening to you as well.
Certainly there is no delight greater than self-satisfaction in this world... But the
feeling of self-satisfaction comes only by doing good to others.
Love is not proven by empty words or feelings, but by the ultimate outcome of
the acts and attitudes exchanged. If everyone around you is happy and healthy
- then only your love is true.
No matter however dreadful a form the problem manifests itself in, it surely has
some or the other definite solution in time or space. All that you need to do is,
without panicking, reflect upon it from the depths of your mind.
