Our inability to handle failure is what should be looked at and dealt with first and foremost. In whatever case, the rate of success in your life is always miniscule compared to the rate of failure.
To put it bluntly, you fail a lot more than you succeed. That’s a natural occurrence. But, only when we cling on to the desired result do we start to see the event in a negative way.
Every event can teach you a lot of things if we can just let go of our prefixed idea of the outcome. Ofcourse, we always have to set up a prefixed outcome (goal) to start something, but we must accept the fact that more often than not that outcome will not become a reality. Instead of that something else will.
This mental flexibility will give us courage and will to go on and on irrespective of the outcome. Once that happens, then by the law of probability we’ll get that desired result at some point in time.

As I go in a deep meditative state, sometimes it so happens that my observation is no longer happening through this body.
The observation tends to happen neutrally. The body that is called ‘mine’ in this sensory world becomes one of the many. It has effectively created it’s own world with it’s pleasures and pains under the apparent belief system based on these senses. That belief system is individual and universal at the same time.
And, all these individual distinctive figures are interdependent on each other at all levels inspite of their individualities. For example, a man will understand that it is different from a dog only by identifying the differences between each other at a subconscious level. So, it is equally important for the dog to exist for man to spot that difference and vice versa.
That is why in the Vedas ? it is said ‘Neti Neti’. That effectively means Not this Not this or Neither this Nor that. It is not that you can see or feel or think about. It is beyond.
And, as you become one with It, you become the Observer where you’re neither this nor that but That beyond which is the Source of all. It is just all One.
Om Shanti….?
