Most of us confuse success with achieving more and more in terms of material gains, despite denying it in public. Unfortunately, our never ending quest for possessing priceless objects: House, car - the list is endless - is the culprit. However, even priceless items do have a market price and that's pretty high.
Not so surprisingly, even quality of social connections seems to be a priority in the list of priceless possessions: Higher it is, up and through the political jungle and corporate boardrooms, more is the degree of achievement.
Well, it now appears to me that, anything that can't be measured in terms of physical existence is conveniently excluded from being considered to be successful.
Why otherwise, success of a spiritual leader is counted in terms of his degree of influence with the influential from all walks of life; and another, who even had to sacrifice his life while fighting for a genuine cause, is being looked upon as a failure?
What's happening now, is not really in line with nature's law and I have a strong feel that a massive correction in the interpretation of success is inevitable in near future.
That's how, nature would realign all forces on the earth. Until then, we, not only have to patiently wait and watch but, at the same time, do our best to make it happen -- sooner than expected.
