Leading A Spiritual Life
challenge leads to a response and the response results in
success. This is the scheme of things in nature. And, in
this world, a positive result can be achieved by following
the path of nature. No one can develop a formula better
than that which nature has developed.
According to the law of nature, happiness is not the
greatest good, struggle is the greatest good. One who
escapes from struggle and tries to live in happiness, is
trying to live in a fool’s paradise. This kind of artificial
living is bound at some point to fall apart. Such people
can live in a state of happiness for a temporary period,
but then they are doomed eventually to become sad.
It is not happiness but seriousness, it is not an easy-
going life but struggle, it is not living in comfort but
being involved in hard work that matter in life. This is
the natural path and it is by following the natural path
alone that can one attain any real success.

a positive outlook.
