Mind Mirror

It may be very hard to believe, but is a big truth of life that many of us become fearful when we achieve success or when success nears us. This fact may be astonishing for many of us, one can truly believe it when one faces the same.

Everyone of us wishes to become a successful person in one or the other field of life. Is there anyone who want to be a failure? I don't think so. So now the million price question arises, how can one fear even success? Is success our enemy? Will success do any harm to us? No...absolutely not. Then why this fear?

We do very hard work and struggle throughout the path of reaching our destination. But when we reach or near the destination, we look back to that entire path. It is impossible to achieve something without loosing another. So at that moment we begin to think and recollect all the losses and sacrifices we have made. This thinking goes on and reaches to that extent that we start thinking that do we really deserve the success or not? And here we start treading back and make the greatest mistake of our life and do not get the chance even to repent on it. So,

Never lose any chance to grasp the success which is yours and only yours.

Life makes us to see many upheavals; sometimes it lets us to face failure and the other time to face success. These are the two very opposite but true ends of the string of life. And these two phases only make our life balanced. One takes us up and the other let us fall. At this point, I would like to point out that I have not mentioned which phase takes us up and which one brings us down. This is just because this decision depends entirely on us.

It is a very common or we can say a general trend to have the feeling of superiority when we go through the phase of success. We are the only ones who let us think that we are at the top. But at this point introspection is a must. We should think over and over that is this success a permanent one, are we not giving ourselves a boost more than which is required by us. So according to my view, this phase of success should be the one to bring us down. This ‘bringing down’ should not be misunderstood with failure, it only means bringing our entire ego, the feeling of superiority down, and hence, at this stage we make our life balanced.

Another general trend is to think ourselves as inferior ones when we face failure. It is said that humans grow their grief by thinking more and more about the cause of the grief. We bring ourselves and our abilities more and more down. We see successful people around and instead of taking inspiration from them we tend to grow a feeling of repulsion from them and the inferiority complex starts growing. Now, I would like to tell that whatever may be the situation, one should...no, no…must take oneself up, one must give oneself a boost because

We ourselves are the biggest helpers for us.

Hence, in the phase of failure also, we can make our life balanced. I know these are not so easy, but it has to be done, otherwise we will be the only ones to destroy ourselves.

The path of life is too strange, sometimes it is smooth as butter and sometimes puzzling like that of a maze. Sometimes we find all the situations suitable for us and sometimes the situations are in exact contrast to what we actually want.

Our mind works just like the antibacterial action. In the very first stage of life, it is not prepared for not even a small problem. But as one moves forward in one's life one finds several storms of challenges and each worse situation acts as a vaccine to one's mind and later if one finds similar problem the mind automatically generates such thoughts which lets one fight with one's overall strength. At this stage we can, in a way, say that one's mind has become immune to that situation.

In this way our experience grows more and more in all the possible dimensions. We become prepared for higher and higher tides in the tempest of life.

Our body becomes prone to diseases without proper immunity. Just like that our mind breaks into pieces when it is not immune to the worst situation possible.

Sometimes I think that why people make so many resolutions often on special occasions, why not at any time when it is needed to do so. Human beings are those who make mistakes, and who don't make any mistake is the one and only god, and humans can never be god. Moreover a true human being is one who amends his mistakes and go ahead in the life trying hard not to repeat it. And this process of amending is in my opinion nothing else but resolution.

Now the question comes when to make new resolutions. I think many people make new resolutions on new occasions because they consider that occasion a starting point of a new phase of the life. This question has arisen in my mind only because in this last day of the year not only my nears and dears but the people who are strangers to me are making not one, not two but a list of resolutions.

Now the turn is mine. I think that

Any point of life can be a new phase of life...

This is because we can make some or other mistake at ant point of time, and resolution is a must when you realize it.

So......I am eager to know what is your new year resolution/s?

Many times of our lives we loss many things...and many people which and who are very near to us...near to our heart. Sometimes intentionally and sometimes not, this very pinching and pain giving situation does come.

When caught in this web, people become a fish out of water, dying and searching for at least a drop of water which is equivalent to a small bit of happiness for people in their lives.

Many a times we know that the things...or people many never come back, but this doesn't mean that this will lead us to lose the hope...for hope is the basic foundation leading us to search whatever is lost.

On the other side of it, we have to make ourselves understand the fact that we came in this world alone and will depart from her taking nothing or nobody along us. Gain or loss is the part and parcel our lives, it's wholly a worldly matter.

We may not get what we have lost but lost can be compensated by other means.

It depends wholly on us...to use which medicine to cure the particular sort of wound in our heart.

Our soul is as important to us as the roots of a tree is important to it. Without it we are just...just physical beings...just worldly materials like any other non-living thing.

This is because our body is limited to places where we are capable to move, but soul...soul has limitations bounded to infinity. It is free to roam anywhere, places it itself doesn't know. Only because of our own soul, which nobody of us have seen ever, we are living ones, free to think, free in our own selves.

We haven't seen how soul is like, but at least we know that it exists, somewhere within us. It is the main driving force and the fueling source to our body. We need to satisfy the basic needs, like, food, water, air, etc., just to make the soul remain in our body, because it is too volatile.

But because of many worldly matters, we sometimes feel that out soul, is out of control and that out physical being is caught in the web of worldly matters. But as we make our soul to be more and more free, we make ourselves more and more free to think by making the gate of our mind open. This leads our soul to the sacred path whose destination is God, the eternal one. Really,
