A successful life is the one which has no desires left in the mind at the time of
death.
Be it life or business, "satisfaction" is the biggest key to success. Firstly, being
satisfied you don't fall back; secondly, in the absence of greed and ambitions,
you do not engage yourself in mindless activities and miserably fail; and thirdly,
sitting peacefully, you are able to spot the golden opportunities to grow in life.
How 'aware' you are by mind, can be judged by the number of people who are
able to gauge your reactions on any particular matter. You will always find the
reactions of an awakened person to be unexpected.
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.
No one feels the necessity to become good or learn something good, but nobody
ever misses out on an opportunity to portray oneself good.
If you are able to identify your 'being' and your 'nature' separately, you will have
no trouble befalling your way thereafter in life .
Are we Hindu and Indian? Christian and American?... Or a unique human being
born on this earth? The choice that you make here will decide the path of your
life.
Be it Jesus or Buddha - Krishna or Socrates, there is no such person in this
world whose life and thinking can't be understood; because in the end they are
also nothing more than our "best possible form".
In any country of the world, the amount of serenity that is endowed by the artists;
an equal amount of peace is robbed by the politicians and religious heads of that
country.
