When do we consider ourselves successful? When we get all the comforts of life? Or when we get all that the heart desired ..... the worldly things? Or when we earn more than what our neighbours or relatives do?
......The question is that is no measure for success. It is like an a well, the more you pour in, the more it absorbs. It is never filled. When then should we realize to what extent can we fill the hearts desires and makes our minds experience the pleasures of success... no answer?
Whatever we do, we want a return. We are all traders. We are traders in life, we are traders in virtue, we are traders in religion. And alas! we are also traders in love.
If you come to trade, if it is a question of give-and-take, if it is a question of buy-and-sell, abide by the laws of buying and selling. There is a bad time and there is a good time; there is a rise and a fall in prices: always expect the blow to come...We get caught.
How? Not by what we give, but by what we expect. We get misery in return for our love; not from the fact that we love, but from the fact that we want love in return. There is no misery where there is no want. Desire is the father of all misery. Desires are bound by the laws of success and failure.
Learn then to give away what you can, if not all. Whatever, that makes you happy. Don't expect in return, but one day the kind gestures will come back to you in the form of peace and extreme joy... trust me.
The great secret of true success, of true happiness, then, is this: the man who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish man, is the most successful.
