IS FAILURE REALLY A FAILURE?


"Failure is the stepping stone for success they say!  A few others point out that it is a blessing in disguise! There is truth in these statements! Failure and success, sunshine and storm, good and evil, Joy and sorrow etc are called Pairs!! In Sanskrit we call these natural things as " DWANDAS" In other words one cannot enjoy one without the other!! without sorrow you cannot enjoy happiness Without defeat you cannot enjoy success!! Only after walking in the hot sun you can enjoy cool shade! That is the arrangement in Nature! Great scientists tasted failures first but never gave up! Egged on they finally achieved their Goal Failure , in great people, inspires them to succeed! This is the story of almost all inventors and explorers! WE should take success or defeat as the gift of God, His prasadam! WE should maintain equanimity and remain unruffled and continue in our effort!  AS the GIta says "Karmanye vadhikarasthu ma phaleshu kadachana" it is our duty to act but not expect reward since the result shall come automatically according to the effort !  WE should think that whatever happens is for our Good only  We do not know how it is good now!  But when the time comes we realize that it is only for our good!  A certain king and Minister went to the forest for hunting! The minister always used to say that whatever happens is for his good!  While hunting, the king injured his finger!  As usual the Minister said it is only for his good!  The king grew angry!  Meanwhile they were attacked by a Bear! The king fell down and the minister escaped! The Bear, smelling the king, left him unharmed! The king was surprised! He later knew that bears do not harm injured people! He understood the wisdom of the minister;'s statement and thanked him!  There are instances of people missing a train or bus and feeling sorry! Later They know that the train or the Bus was involved in accidents! They would have lost their lives had they boarded the vehicles!  What seems a defeat or failure may not be a real failure or defeat!! it may lead to your victory or success!!"
