Is success contrary to spiritual development?
I just had a radio show on this topic and the answer is: obviously not!
If you think about about it, what is success? Please listen carefully since I am giving you a definition that can break the barriers between amterial and spiritual accomplishments:
Success is our call in moving beyond human limitations!
If you understand success under this new revultionary key you see that this is what human beings have been trying to do for ages, no matter in which field, no matter if spiritual or scientific.
We are all called to the same call!
Even if in the radio show I have explored this topic widely, I will add a few more concepts here. Actually, I will add a few more questions.
Why is it the we, as human beings, want to overcome our human limitations? Why is being human a limit at all? If that’s what we are, then that’s what we should be.
The answer to this topic is that we know we are not living a fully human life. We mostly live a sacrificed life in a way that doesn’t involve our conscious and direct choice. Yes, we have chosen it, yes, we have somehow wanted it…. but when?
Finding your own spirit allows you to live a fully equipped human life, and acquire the right mental formula for success that is good for you. In fact one of the main principle of meditation is that of transcending the limitations of the mind, to go beyond, maybe where not so many human beings have been before. This relates to success as well. If you want success you want to go beyond, where not many people have access. You want a life that is almost divine, you look for supreme happiness.
Meditation techniques will naturally lead you to have the right mental attitude, they will enable you to live your dreams and then a much bigger dream that you have ever dreamt before.
Some people think that in order to be successful you must concentrate on one point until you will succeed. Some other people prefer expanding their views and include multiple possibilities. Many meditation techniques follow exactly the same process. Some of them will focus your mind, while others will expand it.
If you choose a meditation practice that is in tune with your concept of success you will increase you chances to become successful naturally. It is a preparation in consciousness, you will acquire the right of consciousness to direct your mind towards the right places and circumstances, to see the right thing that must be seen.
In the meanwhile, if you have a comment on this topic feel free to leave it here!
