A genuine desire is the determinant of the direction of any big achievement, and its accomplishment depends upon a meticulous plan and undaunted first step towards it. Even the creation of the cosmos is the result of God`s desire. The bigger the desire, the bigger the achievements. But the desire is never fulfilled with a hollow heart, weak effort and lack of faith. A desire backed by an unwavering faith with a single minded genuine effort never elude you. If our desire is not getting fulfilled, it means, we are not fully aligned with our desire, we are not determined, we are in doubt or we are lacking in our effort.
One of the disciples of Socrate expressed his desire to him, “I want to become as knowledgeable and wise as you are, can you please tell me the way for that”. Socrates did not respond anything to him at that moment. One day, both were crossing a river. When both reached at the depth of their neck level, Socrates caught his neck and started doping him in the river. Obviously, that person was struggling his hardest to take the breath. At the last moment, Socrates left him. When he took his first breath, he asked the reason for the same. Socrates asked counter question, “ when I was doping you in the river, at that time, what you were thinking and looking for?” He replied, “ I was only thinking and looking for the breath desperately without anything else in my mind”. In the similar way, if you desire to get the knowledge as I have you can get it.
Only keeping the desire is not enough. For getting your desire fulfilled, you have to put all your effort and all your potential the way that person was putting to get the breath. Desire is a very powerful. Make sure what the desire you are keeping for the life out of your numerous desires. All the desires do not give you the auspicious result if those get fulfilled.
Any desire, by proper planning and with an equivalent effort, you can achieve. If there is a desire, it means, the equivalent potential is already there within you. Just give a solid start to get it fulfilled. There may be delays, but definitely your effort would be awarded. Remember, no effort goes in vain. Just give an honest and genuine try.
