The Inner Command of Success

 

The Inner Command of Success

You may never hold the reins of the outside world. Circumstances arrive unannounced, shaped by forces far beyond personal will—chance, other people’s choices, time itself. Yet within this uncertainty lies a quiet certainty: while events are uncontrollable, your response to them always remains yours. Attitude is the final territory no one can occupy without your consent.

Life tests resolve not by asking permission but by applying pressure. In such moments, strength is not measured by the absence of fear or doubt, but by the decision to move forward despite them. When challenges rise, the mind becomes the battlefield, and the way you interpret hardship determines whether it becomes a wound or a lesson.

Every moment of weakness carries a cost greater than it appears. It does not stop at personal discouragement; it ripples outward, weakening the very purpose you stand for. When resolve falters, the cause you represent—your dream, your duty, your values—also suffers. Strength, therefore, is not only self-preservation; it is responsibility.

Faith is often misunderstood as passive belief. In truth, it is active trust—the discipline of holding firm when proof is absent and outcomes are uncertain. Infinite faith does not deny reality; it transcends it. It is the steady conviction that effort is meaningful even before results are visible.

Strength, likewise, is not brute force or loud confidence. It is endurance. It is the ability to remain aligned with your purpose through fatigue, criticism, and delay. True strength grows quietly, reinforced each time you refuse to surrender your inner balance to outer chaos.

Success does not require perfect conditions. It requires unwavering inner alignment. When faith anchors the mind and strength steadies the will, setbacks lose their power to derail progress. Obstacles become part of the path rather than barriers against it.

In the end, success rests on two unshakable pillars: boundless faith and disciplined strength. Control your attitude, guard your resolve, and honor your cause. When these remain intact, no external force can truly defeat you—because the most decisive victory is always won within.

Beyond Self-Love: Toward a Truer Source of Love

Modern thought speaks endlessly about self-love, presenting it as the foundation of happiness and healthy relationships. We are told that loving others is impossible without first loving ourselves, and this idea has become deeply embedded in contemporary culture. Yet rarely do we pause to examine what we actually mean by self-love, or whether the love we claim to possess is genuine or merely comforting illusion.

If we look honestly, most self-love is unstable. It rests on imperfect understanding and fluctuates with mood, success, and approval. Much of what we call love is tied to attachment and ego. Even when affection appears generous, self-interest quietly lingers beneath it. Conditions are set, expectations are formed, and disappointment follows when they are not met. This is the common pattern of human love.

We praise unconditional love, but few truly grasp its meaning. When love is mixed with attachment, it binds us to dissatisfaction and inner conflict. Ego may initially play a useful role by helping us establish identity and direction in the world. At an early stage, it supports growth and individuality. Over time, however, it becomes a limitation. What once assisted development begins to obstruct deeper progress.

What we admire in ourselves is often no more than an outer image—a carefully protected surface. In extreme forms, this becomes narcissism, where self-love is reduced to vanity and self-absorption. Such love places the limited self at the center of everything. True love, however, emerges only when self-preoccupation fades, not when it is reinforced.

This inner struggle persists because we live divided between surface personality and deeper being. As long as this division remains, love cannot flow freely. To love fully, awareness must shift inward. When inner consciousness guides outer behavior, the ego loosens its grip.

True love arises from purity and inner identity. It comes from contact with a deeper truth within, beyond desire and self-interest. This is why ego-based love always diminishes, while higher love expands.

The path forward is surrender to the evolving inner soul—the authentic center of our being. As ego yields its control, love becomes freer and more universal. No matter our limitations, the aspiration for higher, truer love always remains open to us.

IF HE EXIST

I drive joy there was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 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 7 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 7 minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste 7 minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.-
