Attain Success

  • Image result for oyster and pearl
  • Success is not an individual subject. It depends on many other qualities of a person.
  • Be like a oyster. There is a pretty Indian fable to the effect that if it rains when the Swati Star is in the ascendant, and the drop falls into an oyster, that drop becomes pearl.
  • The oysters know this so they come to the surface when that star shines and wait to catch the  precious rain drop.
  • When the rain drop fall into the quickly the oysters close their shells and move down to the bottom of the sea, there to patiently develop the pearl.
  • We should be like that first hear and understand and then, leaving all the distractions, shut your minds to outside influences, and devote yourselves to developing the truth within you.
  • There is a danger of frittering away your energies by taking up an idea only for its novelty, and then giving it up for another newer.
  • Take up one idea, and make that one idea your life.
  • Think of it, Dream of it. Live on that one idea alone.
  • Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that one idea.
  • This is the way to success, and this is the way great giants are produced.
