Success & devotion


There’s a beautiful musical composition in Hindi, from which I’m quoting a few translated lines:
Who says God does not appear, you don’t call Him like Meera;
Who says God does not sleep, you don’t put him to sleep like Mother Yashoda;
Who says God does not eat, you don’t feed Him like Shabri;

I am sure we all are familiar with the three women mentioned above. The simple messages that these lines give us are:

  • When one is earnestly devoted, success cannot elude him.
  • Patience and perseverance can make the impossible (Him) possible.
  • Smart work is surely in, but hard work can never be passé.

While these simple women could achieve success with their devotion, patience and perseverance in the eternal world, even if we have an iota of these virtues, we shall achieve perpetual success in all our worthy endeavours.

Have a nice weekend!
