1. You are not a successful person....by success means u have not reached what ur targets were...u have not lived ur life in totality, u have been lukewarm in every act of life.
2. You still live in hope .......
3. You r not intelligent enough......
4. Disaster has not struck u as of yet..........
5. You dont realize that u r going to lose everythig that u have....
Now u will find it very strange reading as to what i am saying.
My friend u are not successful bcos u have not been able to achieve to the level where u can say "o , more of this doesn't make sense....."
u have not chased men/women with totality.....
u have not worked really hard in the vocation u r in...
u have not gone deep in friendship, in relationships....
u have not loved anybody with intensity....
u have not chased money and reached the point of questioning as to what u r doing....is this what u r living for....
u have not done a single act in ur life which is able to take u till the end point of it...from where there is no movement possible......
u have not entertained urself with worldy pleasures successfully, totally to the the extent that u cld see the futility of it...
u have not been able to pamper ur senses to the level where u realize that it is not enough to fill some deep "void" after every achievement....
U have lived ur life like almost lethargic...no intensity or gest....as if u have all the time in this world.....actually u have not done even an act of totality in ur life if u look honestly...
(wait, dont try to understand before reading further.......)
For example,
If u were rich by now u wld have seen the futility of possessing lot of money....
money would have stopped being ur motivational force and hence u would not be distracted by it.
And i am not saying that u don't have money...all i m saying is u r not rich despite having so much money....to possess money and to be rich are 2 different things.
If u were rich u wld have stopped putting so much energy into making money by now and would have began ur search for something higher and the energy saved wld have easily been put into meditation.
So u r still not rich enough to transcend money...u want to collect more n more of it, and with more of it u invest again to have still more and hence u live in fear, greed which takes away all ur energies and keeps u busy.
The momentum of violent energy that is required to make money and to save what u already have is not leaving u focused or interested enough in meditation.
To make money u need to get maximum out of ur client and workers....to make lots of money u need to get maximum out of ur subordinates and seniors....its a game of keeping onself on the edge to progress in life and a person living on the edge of anxiety can never meditate.
So i suggest go all out for money or whatever u feel will liberate u or bring ultimate peace and when u have really tried u will realize the futility of it and then perhaps u will grow enough to understand the importance of meditation.
In a nut shell what i am saying is that chase ur dreams with total intensity.....all out....
give urself totally in love...to the woman or man who u r obsessed with....
give totally in friendship to the friend or person who u feel is closest to ur heart....
whatever inspires u in life go all out for it...
and sooner than later u shall realize that nothing liberates...
u will find that after u have achieved what u wanted so desperatly "there remains a huuuuuuuge void...a huge vacuum....a big feeling of having got cheated"...
"NOTHING FAILS LIKE SUCCESS".......and when u have really succeeded u realize the magnanimity of the failure and when u have got the woman / man u wanted, the house u were so desperate for, the car u were willing to kill for.....u see that it amounts to nothing.....that feeling of emptyness falls onto u totally and then u realise the failure of all that u got .....u realize that u are either just chasing or managing things...u are not able to live..
U will find that u r just trying to manage people, time, resources, energy,relations, health....n so many other things....but u r not able to live...just live without being preoccupied with anything
And once u r really failed by being total , it would lead u to a burnout and after that either one becomes lifeless , depressed or else if one is lucky and one meets the right person one takes to meditation or if one is into it already one would be drowning oneself into meditation.
And since u are not successful to the point of "saturation" in anything so to speak , u still live in hope....
u feel that u will put a bit more effort...or u will try a different way...and if this much is not satisfying u will go for more....
if this relation is not working u will go for another one...
it's like u are jumping from one idea to the other and from the "here to more " ...
u r continuously busy in finding new toys to keep u busy...old girlfriend goes new one comes...old boyfriend disappears...one finds a new one...
one car tires u....u get busy to find the means to bring a new one...and hence u keep living in hope...and living in hope that may be next one satisfies...
You just don't want to see that "nothing else is meant to complete you....be it a relationship , money , cars or possessions...that's not the law of nature"
ur energy is always divided and focused on "the other"...it gets fragmented...its like " rolling stone gathers no mass"...
And hence u r not able to meditate...it doesn't become ur priority...
too manY issues distracting u all the time....and whole life u r just chasing with hope...
u r not willing to see things as they are...but ur hope make u run towards future...
if u really become total u will succeed and with success u will fail and with this failure u will lose hope....u will not be fooled by any new ideas...the only choice then left wld be to meditate.
Thirdly,
u r not intelligent or aware enough to see life,
to what is happening all around to people, to urself, to the world ,
to the increasing number of depresseds all around,
to the increase in the temper and a steep fall in the level of patience of humanity in general everywhere ,
u r not willing to the see the lives of people in old age...
and perhaps so many other aspects of life u r not able to feel n observe...
if u do, u will immediately drop ur so called intelligence and shall begin a move towards what the wise-men have always said over the centuries "MEDITATE"....
And lastly,
perhaps nature has been kind to u till this point in life...
perhaps somehow u have not gone through something so shocking which shakes ur roots...
something which has broken ur heart...some state of helplessness...
but my friend this life spares nobody...here nobody remains a virgin, life fucks all...
history of humanity shows u that.................
From Michael Jackson to Marlon Brando to Marlyn Monroe to Whitney Housten to Alexander to Guru Dutt to Meena Kumari to....on n on n on....
From Rockstars to Filmstars to top Politicians to most Beautiful of Damsels to the most Richest ...to the very common man...nobody gets spared...What is it that they miss out that despite all the glory n achievements they still die unhappy.....and what is it for the common man who also dies unhappy....somewhere something is missed by everybody...almost everybody...."yes, and that missed point can be found by meditation"
Osho used to say "meditation is the first and last freedom"...
he was right, and what he meant was that if u keep meditating u will reach that point of liberation where u will be free...
free from mind...free from all the bondages...
Only meditation can take u to the point where everything instead of becoming a bondage gets converted into love and compassion.
Good luck
Prem Kamal
