Formula For Sure Success
M.S.Sundara Rajan
Chairman & Managing Director Indian Bank
Could their be a formula for success? Yes, There is. Before that, we must see what is success or who is a successful person? The answer could very depending upon the type of person to whom you are asking the question.
For a student, it could be a pass from one class to other. For a businessman it could be to make huge profits etc. those success on the material plane are limited, momentary and again depend on variety of factors. If you approach these so called successful people and ask for the secret so success, they will have different stories to tell about their failures or shortcomings. But for me, the ultimate successful person in life is one who is always happy and contended in life
Some of your may ask what is it that stand in the way between us and happiness? In other words why are we so much miserable? The answer is simple –it is our self-centeredness.
We live in an age where we are getting progressively more self-centered. Whether it is at home, school , college, office or in interactions with friends. Relatives, we tend to think more about what we are getting . In all relationships, we are only more bothered about how much the other person is doing or not doing. The result? Breakdowns in relationships, frustration at the workplace-a definite recipe for misery.
We may not know when selfish attitude becomes a predominant trait and influences our personality. Perhaps it could be even without our awareness. This is why it is very important to make a conscious effort to deal within. But how?.
The answer is only by an “attitude of service”. As it is much more than actual service. I am afraid, when you hear the word “service” you may think, in the process of serving people , you will be deprived of all your possessions and little enjoyments. But the first and last beneficiary count of such an attitude is only You. When we deal in the world with an attitude or spirit of service, we think about what we can give in any interaction rather than what we can gain from it.
This attitude can be cultivated and comes out of an awareness of all that we have been blessed with. When you realize what you have been given, unasked and unexpected, you realize how important it is to give back.
When you begin to function out of an attitude of service, you begin thinking of what you can give. And strangely, you would end up benefiting the most.
The benefit that comes out of service is a sense of inner peace. It comes out of the satisfaction of doing whatever you can for the common good of the people. The society improves as a result of your service. A little effort of yours can go a long way in helping others. And the most important benefit is that it helps you progress on the spiritual path by overcoming your selfishness, bit by bit, . It makes you more humane towards the environment and people around you.
The whole world will stand up and say” Here is a successful person” because he has fulfilled the purpose of human life.
Little Drops of Water
Little drops of water, little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land.
So the little minutes , humble though they be
Make the mighty ages of eternity.
Mind Your Word
A careless word may kindle strife
A cruel word may were a life
A timely word may level stress
A loving word may heal and bless
Deceit and quarreling will end in suffering
The obstacle in our path
A king had a wooden log placed on a roadway. Then he bid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge log. Many people came by and loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them tried to remove it out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. He laid down his load and moved the log out of the way. Below the log the noticed a purse lying which contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the log. The peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one’s condition
Quote from True Religion Always Help
Youth is a very exciting time. Many people want, if possible, to stay young and vigorous all their life. And there are charlatans who tell you through laugh advertisement that they can enable you to stay young always either through yoga or though estrogen or progesterone treatments . it requires a considerable amount of stupidity to go in for eternal youth. They become the most pitiable of creatures who, though their youth is gone, want to give the impression that they are blossoms of early morning. They have somehow missed the dignity and purpose of life.
It is not in the shame of nature that anyone should always remain young. At a particular age the skin should wrinkle and the nerves grow weak and this is nothing to be ashamed of or worried about. It is the law of nature that it takes a morning, and afternoon, and evening and a night to make a full day. And every part of the day has its own value, purpose and beauty. The evening is not necessarily less beautiful than the morning.
Undoubtedly, youth a beauty of its own. Its beauty is the beauty and spiritual potential, whereas the beauty of advancing and old age is the beauty of serenity attained though experience ; it is the beauty of growth in mind and spirit which is far superior to the beauty of mere flesh. Those shoe have been nurtured in religion from childhood, manifest with advancing age a power and a glow child is hardly ever seen in youth. Where others feel frustration, boredom and disgust in old age, those who practice spiritual disciplines experience sweetness and joy in spite of their falling body. Through spiritual discipline they have come to experience in the depths of their being an awareness of the ineffable . Spiritual joy far outweighs the loss of physical pleasure.
The real man is not the body. He is not the mind. He is the Atman. Only religion brings one this awareness in vivid experience. With this plenary experience one becomes a liberated soul. Such a soul experience unalloyed bliss and happiness . One radiant peace, light and sweetness.

I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha
