It is important to maintain a continuous spirit and willpower to succeed, to achieve success in life. At the same time, total renunciation of continuous laziness is necessary to achieve success. Nobody helps a low-confident or dependent person. The rule is that people help only one who helps himself and whose heart is filled with a sense of confidence. One who gives is the only one eligible to receive back. Someone wishes to get everything for free, without giving anything in return, such a selfish and narrow-minded person cannot achieve anything.
Nothing is impossible in this life. We make something difficult or impossible with our weakness and ignorance. You only require one thing in life – Faith in Work. This is so powerful, that it makes everything easy and possible to achieve. Lord Hanuman used to start any work only after humming “Jai Shree Ram”. Lord Hanuman realized His power only after expressing His Lord Shree Ram’s honor. Total trust in His Lord enabled Him to achieve impossible amazing feats. Similarly, a Sadhak can also perform all kinds of complex difficult tasks easily through reciting “Jai Gurudev” during the task.
The Guru in full faith, within your heart, shows the right path along with transferring energy through Sadhana, penance, and intensity to the Sadhak. The Sadhak imbibes these energies to achieve the highest pinnacle of success. One can attain the highest state in life by immersing himself in the ocean of the Guru element. The self disappears. Thus there might be hundreds of different worldly ways, but the pat of surrender will be only the one. We can call Guru or God by different names, the names will be different, yet the entity will be the only one. You may realize the divine entity solely by total dedication-surrender.
It is important to continuously develop your ability and capability, along with the willpower to achieve success in this world. If you trust your mind, then whatever you wish to become, you should adapt yourself according to the appropriate abilities, and then the Almighty will be forced to craft your destiny as per your desires. Only the one who is self-reliant, self-confident, and self-determined, one who uses his own intellect and wisdom, will be able to attain a successful and satiated life. The self-reliant do not need to depend on anyone else for anything. He crafts his path forward with his own hands. If you wish for success, progress, prosperity, and opulence in life, then you have to pick up the path of total action. Build your path of life with your own hands. SadGuru bestows a continual conscience to achieve success, and when we continuously imbibe this divine conscience, we certainly achieve total success in our goals.
The mind, body, and soul of the devotee-Sadhak contain massive hidden storage of innumerable powers. However, he still considers himself as a weak and feeble person. Whereas, in reality, we do not have faith within our own self. The divine powers, mental, physical, and spiritual energies possessed by the divine beings, exist within our own self as well. A person achieves victory through determination, patience, and courage. The willpower of humans is the basis of their success. Willpower is the most prominent and intense power that he possesses.
There is nothing in this world, you cannot obtain through endeavors and efforts. The scientists have managed to provide us so many physical luxuries-comforts through efforts and endeavors. Similarly, the efforts and endeavors enable a normal person to attain sainthood and divinity. These efforts and endeavors transform a person from human to divine. Therefore the right amount of effort is mandatory to achieve any task. The Sadhak accomplishes spiritual siddhis through efforts and endeavors.
A single doctor gives out a prescription. Two doctors provide consultation. However, we ourselves invite our death through three doctors. Therefore, we will not be able to achieve any kind of success, progress, or conscience in life by roaming from one Guru to another. We will not be able to chalk up the correct direction and will remain confused. We will waste our entire life in this confusion, and will not be able to attain any philosophy, contemplation, or purpose in life. We should always remember that the power of strong determination can even manifest the divine in stone, then the expression of SadGuru within the soul becomes just a plain simple task. Ekalvaya attained mastery in archery from a clay statue only through his strong resolve and became the best archer. Lord Rama defeated the mighty Ravana with the power of determination. The power of determination propels the accomplishment of all kinds of tasks. Therefore it is mandatory to fully assimilate the determination of willpower to accomplish any task.
Trust is the medium to complete all the tasks of life. Faith arises as a result of trust. The presence of both of these enables continuous growth in life, like the coolness bestowed by the pair of light and Full Moon. Life loses its balance in the absence of any one of these expressions, leading to the creation of various abnormalities in life. These abnormalities beset life with pain, sorrow, and obstacles. Darkness eradicates the light causing infinite obstacles, and the coolness of the full moon gets replaced by a dark new moon. Primarily, the person himself is the creator of such adverse situations.
Only the divine consciousness continually bestowed by Gurudev can extinguish the decay and stink of life. Therefore it is mandatory to ensure continuity of faith and trust towards God and SadGuru.
With divine blessings,
Kailash Shrimali
