AIDS TO SUCCESS
Develop equal-vision. Live in the true spirit of the Bhagavad
Gita: "Sages look equally on a brahmana (holy one) adorned with
learning and humility, a cow, an elephant, a dog and even an
outcast." Where is superiority and inferiority when you behold the
self everywhere? Change your angle of vision and rest in peace.
The heart must be beautiful. Face the storm and triumph over it. Do
not shrink from the battle of life, but fight it and come out
victorious. Face abuse, insult, dishonour, disgrace, malice with a
smile on your face. Be calm and serene. Take up all events in life as
though you are a silent witness, never being perturbed at all.
Depression is an evil quality. People have plenty of money, and yet
they are always depressed. They put on a morose, peevish appearance.
They are always gloomy. This is a dangerous epidemic disease. The
gloomy man spreads gloom and depression everywhere. He cannot apply
himself to any kind of work. He is idle and lethargic.
Depression will deplete all energy. Think of the virtue of
cheerfulness. Have a mental picture of joy and the habit of
cheerfulness will develop around this mental picture. Smile and
laugh. Give a smile to everybody you meet on the road. That man who
always keeps a cheerful countenance radiates joy to others.
Some are not able to decide anything definite in certain important
matters. They have not got independent power of judgement. They
simply prolong the matter. They do not come to a definite positive
decision. A man who has indecision will never succeed. He will be
full of doubts and fears.
Procrastination is the friend of indecision. The opportunity will
slip away. It will be too late to gather honey when the winter comes!
You must think over the matter for some time. Then come to a definite
decision. At once you must apply your will and try to put the matter
into execution. Then only you will succeed.
