Life is full of avenues and opportunities as long as you keep
your hopes alive. A seeker is always optimistic and never gives up. A seeker
with an open mind keep on listening to different saints, continue to read one
scripture after another, keep on exploring different forms of sadhna with a
fire in his belly to realize the true Self and finally attains the goal – the
goal of achieving liberty while living, not after death.
This principle is not only true in the spiritual world, but
also in the material world. Let me tell you an inspiring story.
This is the story of a boy from Kentucky. At age 5, his father
died. At age 16, he quit school. At age 17, he had already lost four jobs. At
age 18, he got married. He joined the army and washed out there. At age 20, his
wife left him and took their baby. He became a cook in a small cafe and
convinced his wife to return home.
