Your first obligation is you, build yourself first, invest in you first. Without building yourself, you cannot build anyone or anything. The second is your family. The third is your society and people around you and so on. Many people say, “I want to build this world.” Can you build something without developing the capabilities for the same? Can you give anything to someone without having those things with you first? Can you help someone with ten thousand dollars without having that much money with you? No, you cannot, even though you want to.
Can the sun give the light and heat without generating it first inside him? You can give what you have, the rest is mere gossips. A frustrated person cannot give more than the frustration to anyone, a failure person can give the failure only. Build yourself first before building someone or something. When you become effulgent like the sun, others would automatically get benefit from your light and heat.
Can you save another drowning person, if you are already drowning in the same ocean?
No use of blaming the ocean for drowning you. It is the nature of the ocean. It is you who did not take the responsibility to learn swimming and enjoying the vastness of the ocean.
This world is a material ocean. Understand the nature of the world, and prepare yourself accordingly. Learn how to swim and enjoy this material ocean. If you understand this ocean and prepare your life for it, you will splash and enjoy, if not, you will struggle and suffer at every step of your life, because, the life cannot be separated from this world.
Prepare yourself for a grand life. With ill-preparation, you are like a moist match box which has the capability to create fire but it cannot. The well-preparation is like a dry match box which can create the fire immediately with a little strike. Prepare and build yourself like a dry match by your right understanding, right effort and hard work, and spread the light of your deeds in your life and the lives of others as well.
This world is a vast ocean of opportunity for those who are very clear about the self and the nature of the world. If you know your true personality, you will use all the opportunity and facility of the world to enjoy your life to the maximum, if not, you will be used.
The opportunity knocks at our door, but due to the lack of preparation, we lose it and cry.
You have all the potential and right to live a majestic life. Take a complete responsibility of your life and prepare it for a bigger and grander.
