Sustain enthusiasm can create wonders for you.
Now the question
arises… How to sustain? Sustain what? The answer is…sustain enthusiasm; sustain
the desire for money; sustain the longing to acquire power.
You want to be
successful; moneyed; powerful…everybody wants, very few gets. You have to
understand- What is money? What is power? Why do you want to acquire it? You
have to understand. You have to understand your desire to acquire it.
People
who have achieved it are equally disturbed; equally frustrated…as you are.
People who couldn't get it, are happy to think; or to know, that the person who
has achieved it; got it, is worst then him…he is not happy. And he goes on
saying…what is the use of money; what us the use of power? Money cannot buy everything. This is dangerous;
in fact; both situations, are dangerous.
Be careful. Extreme richness; extreme
poverty both are dangerous.
A man who has got everything with him is happy to
note, that he is better then a poor fellow. Rich man is happy; looking at a poor man; and his difficulties. A poor man is happy to note that a rich; powerful man cannot get an illness cured in his family; a rich man is living a disturbed family life.And then he goes on saying what is the use of Power; what is the use of money, further that poor goes on proclaiming that; money cannot by love, money cannot buy peace; money cannot buy this, money cannot buy that.
You keep comparing the situation, and then you reach at a conclusion, and then either you are happy; or you are sad. It depends; what the situation, the circumstance is saying. Your happiness is depended on circumstance. You sadness is depended on a situation. This is absurd; you are not free.
Then what is the use
of money; if it cannot give you happiness? Achiever is afraid of losing it. Achiever
is not keeping well; he has some decease which cannot be cured; he keeps on
spending money on his illness; he is just surviving. Both are not happy…what to
do?
And the more you try to do, the more difficult it becomes; rather it brings
other problems along with…What to do? You have to understand yourself. You have
to understand your need. You have to understand the limitation…like you simply cannot
go on eating, to fill your hunger. When you are no hungrier; when you have
acquired enough for your hunger, then rest is a waste for you.
But you will
keep; if it is being destroyed, it does not matter to you…you will keep. And
here, the problems, starts. This you have to understand…you have to understand
your need.
Money is important. Power is needed. But for what you need it, and
how much you need? This you have to understand; you have to realize, that rest
will be a waste.
And this is not possible. Because…your longing for Money and
Power is, your greed; not your need. So, you have to understand the difference;
between your need, and your greed. Your greed is your enemy. And if you understand
your greed; then it is friendly. Then your greed is your power.
Now, you must
understand…How to use this power; where to stop. This, where to stop, understanding is important. Your understanding and ability to stop you greed; is
you real power. And when you understand this power, then no other power is
needed to you.
Meditation helps in understanding this power. Meditation helps
you; in understanding greed.
This is simply your power of understanding
yourself; which can change your life; which can simply take you to a place,
where you will realize, that to what extent…Money and Power is needed.
