The Law of Success and Higher Purpose
That is the law. If your motive in life is to seek material wealth alone, success will elude you. However, if you pursue the higher aspect, the Truth, in and through all your worldly activities such as your business, profession, politics, sport, knowledge, or love, success will be your shadow. It is said, "Knock the door, and it shall be opened unto you." That is, knock at the door of a higher purpose, and everything else will open for you.
The Paradox of Prosperity
Prosperity is a by-product of your progress on the path of higher and nobler values. The modern generation may not realize this vital law of life. To them, this may seem a paradox. They are tempted to violate this unrelenting law and take shortcuts due to the temptation towards instant benefits. Taking shortcuts may bring short-term pleasure, but they pay a long-term penalty. Reflect on this law and realize the essence of true satisfaction.
