‘Success” needs sacrifice of something which belong to you, the sacrificing object/emotion is something
what which do not harm other in any case but the absence of that always hurts you (in most of the cases)- this
what success need to succeed. For example if you are walking you can’t stand still by, because if you stand, you
won’t be walking, to see something you have to open your eyes, because if you closed the next thing which you
see is the darkness( technically, if you are not imagining something ).
We humans have natural nature of happiness in winning, so we always want to win, to be happy or to be
satisfied, but practically always wining is not possible, because at the end death is going to win ultimately. Our
familiar is what reminds us about our mortality, and there is no bad thing in it, we are mortal this is absolute
truth, which can not be changed by anyone for anyone. Basically success and failure are the only thing which
has more importance in our society, if some one is successful , he/she is happy and if he/she is not happy it
means he/she is not successful-meaning failed.
First we should think with whom we are competing with anyone else “or” with ourselves. It doesn’t matter
who are against you, if you are going to compete you vs you, you always wins then doesn’t matter if you have
failed or won the match between you and any other.
Success needs sacrifice, means you have to remain determined, passionate, disciplined, smart, intelligent,
healthy and sometimes lucky but most importantly you have to be alive. Success always takes lot of time,
because the qualification to be eligible for success takes much more time than success itself. Eligiblity is
something which is more important, because success only shakes hand who is deserving.
Well all the discussion above discussed, is based on success which is defined as per the materialistic point of
view by the world, society and race.
When you become unmaterialistic – spiritualistic you will find success is something which does not require any
thing at all, but requires the point of view and the meditation and the holy knowledge. Becoming
unmaterialistic gives you the reason to be happy when you don’t have something to be happy, the spiritualistic
view give you the more satisfaction than any other, ( because I have observed for some moments). Yes! I want
to say that once you become unmatieralistic doesn’t mean that you won’t change to materialistic again.
With unmaterialistic and spiritualistic, I didn’t mean the monks, but that person who don’t have attachment
with the material things irrespective of his action and reaction, but the state of mind at which he/she knows all
the material things are temporary.
I may sound like monk but trust I am just an ordinary boy, writing on blank lines with thoughts of his mind via
laptop. The subject matter of this chapter is sacrifices.
Sometimes it becomes very important to sacrifice, it like the situation where whole universe leaves you alone
and ask for the bill for your existence from you. It is moment like examination, interview, and like proposal
and marriage, etc. where we have to give out something in order to get something.
The question we ask what we have in our life, when replaced with what we give in our life can change the
whole life. While to give something we have to earn something, to earn we have to work, Work is something
which has definite results, If we are hoping, dreaming, or imagining something, we won’t get the result, but
when we execute the plan and strategy we get results. It like when you give heat to the cooker pressure
develops inside it, and rice gets ready in minimum amount of time. When you use techniques to do something
in less amount of time, you actually are buying time with that particular technique. Being technical, you again
sacrificed the knowledge, money, heat, in order to get output in less time.
This gives vibes, that we only have to do sacrifice for one time smartly, if we sacrificed honestly, then that
sacrifice give the infinite amount of value which we can be having all the time.
There is saying that:
“It takes discipline to be consistent in a work, but it takes more discipline not to work”.
This quote has exception which is this quote never fit in the students life or in any other who are not till
successful.
Each actions we do, have some sort of cost which we have to pay not necessary with will or without will. The
cost is sacrifice which we do, in order to perform that action. Every action and reaction has a cost, sometimes
we have to spend energy, intellect, mind, money, food, etc that what action need – the sacrifice.
