At The Height Of Fame.




I always think that at the height of fame, human being has pride.Pride of acheivement, and a sense of fullfillment and accomplishment.Somewhere only failure teaches man to be humble.Sorrow teaches man to search for meaning and poverty teaches man to work relentlessly for success.

My recent thought about 'loss' was running somewhat like this.A very great 'loss' entitles one to know the worthlessness of all possessions.Somewhere joy is lost and we are humbled.I grieve knowing well that sustenance is only a myth and all philosophy just a medicine.A deep wound heals only if one wills it.

Jayamalaji,

You write that :My recent thought about 'loss' was running somewhat like this. A very great 'loss' entitles one to know the worthlessness of all possessions.

The point that you want to arrive is the issue that our saints and philosophers have tried narrating since ages. If we can decreas our desire for possessions, we can be very much happy.
