obstacles in our path. Our natural instinct is to bypass them
– using our influence or wealth – or to simply turn around
and go a different path. Or, we give up the path altogether,
seeing the obstacles as insurmountable. Perhaps
we find ourselves criticizing life, circumstances, or the great
“King” who is making our lives difficult. Yet, for he who
has the commitment and dedication to conquer the obstacle,
the rewards are great. Not only will the path be
clear, but we will also become far richer (whether spiritually,
mentally or financially) by having the tenacity to overcome
the hurdles in our path.
Life is not always a clear path. If it were, we would learn
very little. Rather, to test us, to teach us, to mold us and to
make us stronger God challenges us. He – as the King of
kings – places obstacles on our way. And, just like the king
in the above story, He watches to see who will have the
courage and the commitment to overcome these difficulties.
There is a beautiful saying in our scriptures which says:
Prarabhyate na khalu vighna bhayena nicheh
Prarabhya vighna vihata virmanti madhyah
Vighneh Punah punarapi prati-hanya manah
Prarabhya chottam-janah na parityajanti
This means that there are three types of people in the
world. The first type, the lowest on the hierarchy of evolution
toward God realization, contemplate the possibilities
of failure before undertaking any task. Then, realizing that
some obstacle will inevitably arise, and fearing the difficulties
inherent in overcoming the obstacle, they decide
not to act. Thus their lives pass in vain, and they perform
no good deeds at all, for they are paralyzed by thoughts
of hurdles that may arise.
The second type of people begin to perform good deeds
but as soon as they encounter any difficulty, they turn back
and relinquish the task. These people have good hearts
and good intentions and they want to perform worthwhile
deeds; however, they are unable to gather up the inner
resources necessary to overcome any challenges. Thus,
their lives also pass in vain, and although they have innumerable
projects that were well-begun, they have not even
one that was completed.
The third, and highest type of people are those who just
keep going, no matter what obstacles they find in their
path. They are so committed to completing their duties
successfully that they steadfastly remove all hurdles from
their way. They are entirely focused and centered on the
ultimate goal, and they keep God’s image in their mind,
knowing that He is with them and that He will help them
achieve their noble goals. These are the people who succeed,
not only professionally in life, but also spiritually and
mentally.
