"Destiny" is nothing more than a good excuse to hide your failure.
'Do your karma without worrying about the fruits of your action.' This is the most
wonderful shloka recited by the most intelligent man of this world "Krishna",
in the most unique granth the "Bhagavad Gita". The irony is, all our worships,
rituals, fasting, vastu, astrology are the acts performed with the expectations of
desired results.
Without knowing your own mind, no success can be achieved in life. But to
understand the mind, neither books nor teachings are available. This is the sole
reason for such a miserable failure of human beings.
The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such
hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong
deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the
person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is
solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
Concentration is magic because in concentration, energy moves in circular
motion. On the other hand, universal energy also moves in a circular motion. This
is the reason, when we work with full concentration, we immediately get attuned
to nature. Once the tuning with nature is set, know for sure, your life will be full of
peace, happiness and prosperity. Hence, if you wish to achieve great success,
you must learn to do even the smallest of the tasks with full concentration.
Please do not fall in the trap of old and faulty teachings. Clearly understand that
suppressing any feeling at the level of mind yields only disastrous results.
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
In today's time, the influence of wealth has increased so much that the wealthy
do not need to possess any other good quality in themselves.
