Success in Life.

Hi, friends.
During last month, I have conducted a "Study Circle" in my Sai samithy, where a group of devotees attended to hear my speech and there will be an in-traction also. I have collected valuable points to be adhered by each and everybody to find success in their life.

I would like to share it now.

Om Sri Sairam

Success in Life

STUDY CIRCLE:

1. Spirituality also speaks of success on earth.

2. Spirituality demands efficiency in our chosen path.

3. To be successful in life we must shed our heavy luggage.

4. Heavy luggage means –mental luggage-burden of negativities, grudges, quarrels, bickering, and misunderstandings.

5. Sense of guilt from the past –mistake done, a sin committed.

6. Analyzing the positive and negative “WHY. “

7. Free from ego- to remove ego- practice silence and compassion. Talking less helps to curb your ego.

8 Successful people strictly observe the norms of limited talk and take care not to show off.

9. A successful person never boasts of his achievements.

10. A balanced blend of aspirations, ambition and expectations harmonized with contentment characterizes a successful person.

11. A life without values and principles cannot bring success.

12. Ability to face challenges with courage and never run away.

13. A successful person is always in control of his or her circumstances and situations.

14. To keep one’s emotions and temper under control is a sign of maturity and indicates level of real success.

15. Hearty laughter and a sense of humor are essential ingredients for a healthy and successful life.

Seriousness is not the sign of spirituality. Baba declares, “The one who smiles and who is blissful is God. And one who cries is human “

16. Successful person is a sense of gratitude and gratefulness.

17. Find out the merits of others and your own faults.

\18. Cultivate a positive attitude, which is the hallmark of a successful person.

19. A successful person takes failures not as stumbling blocks, but as stepping stones towards success.

2o. An unsuccessful person sees the glass as half empty while successful one sees half full. The successful one says that a thorn has rose; the unsuccessful says that the rose has a thorn. That makes the difference.” –BABA

Accept the God's words

Accept God’s words - -A short story

AD: I would like to share an email forward that I am sure most of us would have read. It is a story about a very devout person who used to pray, “God, give me some work that I want to do for You! Give me some task.” One night, the Lord appeared and said, “You really want to do something for Me?” The man says, “Yes!” God tells him, “There is a big huge boulder outside, I want you to push it.” Strange as it may sound, he gets ready the next morning, goes out and sees the rock and is convinced he would not be able to move the boulder. Anyway, he gets on to his work.


All day long, he tries pushing the boulder with no success whatsoever. He repeats the routine every morning despite not making even a little progress the previous day. At this point, his mind which is the Satan, says, “You fool! What are you trying to do? The boulder will never move in an entire lifetime no matter how hard you push.” And thus starts the man’s argument with his mind. The mind persists, “Why do you put all your strength into what you are doing? Just act as if you are pushing it; don’t really give it all your strength.” The man is uncertain whether he should accept the mind’s argument. That night, he prays to the Lord, “Oh Lord! What is it that You have given me! I am not able to understand.” The Lord appears and says, “What did I ask you to do? Did I ask you to move the rock or did I ask you to just push it?” The man is still not able to follow His words. He says, “Lord, I pushed it!” The Lord answers, “Yes, I asked you to push it and not move it. It is My job to move it.” So saying, He just blows on it and the boulder moves. God continues, “Through the act of pushing you have developed a strong body over the last fifteen days. I need this body for some other task.”
