Life’s Victory

Should we live a life which has streak of losses with joyful moments of success few and far between? 

This is totally up to you.

If there is a great desire to be successful in you, then living with streak of losses is inevitable.But if you give-up the very idea of the desire to be successful, then you have already succeeded. At this moment the idea of losing, in any dimensions of life’s journey will lose its meaning. Since having the very idea of losing is that, there is a great desire within to be successful.

It is because you harbour within the desire to be successful that, the experience of a sense of losing develops within you, which doesn’t exist in reality.

You must have experienced atleast once in your lifetime that you lost knowingly. Those are the moments where you accept the loss and experienced the joy of success in that loss.But not every experiences of life are like this; more than being successful you do not want to accept the loss in any of life’s situations. Since losing will develop a feeling of humiliation every time in you.

The root cause of this is that you carry an aspiration to be successful  in your mind and upon achieving the same you will experience glory, if not then the pain of humiliation will engulf your mind, resulting in a bulldozed spirit and further strengthening the idea of avoiding a loss in future.

But when you walk the path of life without any idea of either success or failure and not surrendering yourself to these ideas, then you emerge as a victorious each and every time in any life situations. You will be happy in every situation of your life, whatever experience you get the only outcome you experience will be happiness.

So the question is what causes us to live life with the idea of success or failure?

If you think for a moment and dwell within your inner-self, you will understand that your desire to win or not to lose is generated by your ego, and as long as you keep harbouring the ego, there will be a new defeat in each of your desired victories. And if you renounce this ego, then what were the very ideas of failure till now, will start you open a new door of success each time.

Ego is an indication of the fact that, you do not experience the feeling of belongingness with which you are striving for success, but the moment you renounce this ego, you will experience a belonging feeling with everything.

If you are experiencing the pain of loss, then come out of it, since it won’t fade with the passage of time.

If you want to change your destiny, then open the closed doors of your mind and let the ray of hope & light come in.

Leave behind the life which is just meant to fulfil the desires of ego, rather feel happy in sharing the pain of others.

Renounce the life of the arrogance and ego, and live your life with passion & enthusiasm, a life with so much of optimism that, even fear should fear to hover around you.

As told in Bhagavad Gita,

Hindi script : "कर्मणये वाधिकारस्ते मां फलेषु कदाचन । मां कर्मफलहेतुर्भू: मांते संङगोस्त्वकर्मणि" ।।

Read as : Karmanye vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana, Ma rmaphalaheturbhurma  Te Sangostvakarmani “

Meaning:

“You have the right to work only but never to its fruits.
Let not the fruits of action be your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction"

Thus Life’s victory lies in being selfless and renouncing ego.

 May you be always happy!
