Conspiracy: Not a Problem
a challenge rather than as a manifestation of enmity. Exert your
energy on only one front, that is, to meet the challenge. This is
the best way to cope with the problem of conspiracy.
Conspiracy or bad design is not an evil. It has great positive
value. In fact it serves as a blessing in disguise. It shocks your
mind and activates your intellect. It helps to turn your potential
into actuality. It saves you from being a victim of stagnation.
Give positive response to a situation. Assess the
situation dispassionately. Plan your action with an
objective mind.
Conspiracy is a phenomenon of competition and not a
phenomenon of enmity. In this world of competition, everyone
is practically a ‘conspirator’. Others are engaged in conspiracies
against you and you also are engaged in conspiracies against
others, sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously,
sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly. Conspiracy is not
a monopoly of others. No one in this world is free from this
practice. There is only one place that is free from conspiracy or
bad design and that is the graveyard.
So, take it easy. Don’t waste your time in complaint and
protest. Give positive response to a situation. Assess the situation
dispassionately. Plan your action with an objective mind.
By applying wisdom, manage your emotions. Face the situation
with a normal mind. Try to win over your self and you will be
able to win the whole world of conspiracy and enmity.
The secret of success and failure both can be summed up in
these words: the result of negative response is failure, and the
result of positive response is success.
