When failure is nobler than success

When failure is nobler than success

in

, , ,

Man still believes that Ananda (Happy) can be obtained from the external world.

  • Man hoards
    • wealth,
    • authority,
    • fame and
    • learning, to acquire happiness.
  • But he finds that they are fraught with
    • fear,
    • anxiety and
    • pain.
  • The millionaire is beset
    • by the tax-gatherer,
    • the cheat,
    • the donation hunter, and
    • the house-breaker.
    • His sons and
    • kinsmen also clamor for their share.
  • The happiness of material origin is short-lived and has misery as its obverse.

‘Struggle to realise the Atma and to visualize God’. Even failure in this struggle is nobler than success in other worldly attempts.

  • The buffalo has horns; the elephant has tusks. But what a difference.
  • To live in the body, with the body, for the body is the life of a worm.
  • To live in the body, with God, for God is the life of man.

The dull, activity-hating tamasik persons cling to the ego and to kith and kin; their love is limited to these.

The rajasik (active, passionate) persons seek to earn power and prestige, and love only those who will contribute to these.

But the satwik (the pure, the good, the equanimity-filled) love all as embodiments of God. They engage themselves in humble service.

– Puttaparti Satya Sai Baba in the Divine Discourse, May 24, 1967
