To be absolutely independent in each and every field of life, is your first and
foremost duty. If you are burdensome to anyone, for anything...then your life is
a complete waste.

The people who are successful in life are not so because they are highly qualified,
intelligent or meticulously doing their job, but the secret of their success lies in
the fact that they have educated themselves only with the vital, need-based, the
most essential knowledge...and they put in just the required effort in any task
that they pursue. By doing so, they conserve their precious time and energy
which eventually proves to be helpful in leading them to the path of success.
Have you ever seen classes where tigers are taught to hunt, monkeys to jump
or cows being trained to abstain from eating flesh? Then what are we being
preached and why? Do our religious heads and scriptures consider us even
worse than animals?
If you really want to free yourself from anger, then forget all the useless things
you have learnt. The only way to get rid of anger is, whenever or on whosoever
you get angry, just keep releasing it. Do not harbour it within.
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.
A human being is absolutely independent; therefore whatever happens to him
is completely his own responsibility. The one who holds others responsible,
repeatedly commits the same mistakes again and again.
If you keep your focus fixed on the 'witness' - the one who is watching rather
than the 'ego' - the doer...your identification with the objects, people and acts will
be severed. The root cause of all the miseries of the world is our attachment with
them.
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.
Peace, happiness, satisfaction, compassion, freedom, concentration, etc. are the
qualities which lead you to those intrinsic powers lying deep within your mind...
from where the foundation of you becoming a "historical figure" gets laid.
In today's time, the influence of wealth has increased so much that the wealthy
do not need to possess any other good quality in themselves.
