SUCCESS = Power of Simplicity and Comfortness

During my three and half weeks stay in India and Nepal, I met several very interested personalities. Many of of them have made ever lasting impression on my mind. Some of them I would certainly like to manifest through my own upbringing in future. Having said this one individual who not only impressed me, but I began to greatly admire instantly, for two qualities - 'Simplicity' and 'Comfortness'.

In past 3 months, I had been twice at the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Dehradun for meetings. I always wanted to present myself to the Director of the institute as a matter of courtesy, protocol and diplomacy.However, when I finally met Dr. P. R. Sinha, my first reaction was 'Simplicity'!. Extremely unassuming personality, simple, easy to approach, extremely comfortable to talk to, and exchange/share ideas. For me I clicked with instantly and most importantly effortlessly. I am now used to meet extremely high profile individuals. Let me true to myself, that not always I cherish and enjoy my interactions with these eminent persons, as some of them carry a bag of characters which are often make you feel uncomfortable. He has no calms in talking so frankly with me on every aspect. Even though we had very short interactions, he made me feel comfortable as if we know each other for ages together! I was later on told by one of his colleague, as to how simple he is - even being Director of the nations premier institution, he has no calms in standing in a queue at the bus station to book ticket for his daughters travel. He is equally at ease and comfortable in performing all rituals of life, and all that life offers to our way.

I have been taught by my parents and teachers that 'Simple leaving, and high thinking' is key to success. However, very rarely I came across personality with such a blend of character. It was almost that both 'Simplicity' and 'Comfortness' are bygone characters of modern day success. Simplicity is defined as 'absence of complications'. But on the contrary we love live with complications and complexity - we need complex and complicated food with equally complicated recipes, we need modern complex and complicated houses, we like to drive complicated vehicles, we like complications in our relationships, we admire people who makes simple things looks complex, and difficult. Complications and complexity has almost become the de facto standards of our modern day life. On this background when you meet individuals like Dr. Sinha, one thing that I am reaffirmed with that 'there still persists 'Simplicity and Comfortness'.

To me 'Simplicity' reflects purity of thoughts, emotions, feelings and godly vibrations for oneself and for others. It further reflects 'truth' and 'truthfulness' about oneself and about others. I believe these characters do determine how successful you would be in life, or in achieving the purpose of life. Many exemplary personalities that flash before my eyes - Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, and Baba Amte etc. All these individuals were simple, unassuming with great divinity, purity and highest sense of spirituality. Even when they were recognized by the society as successful - they not only remain simple, but they were also approachable, people felt tremendous comfortness in their presence. Their presence transpired good feelings, ease, it made people to feel better. Their presence also made to feel sense of freedom from hardship, efforts and confusion most of all. Because they were so simple, there were no complexity and complexity in their thoughts, actions, reactions. As they were true to themselves, they were equally and undoubtedly true and honest to every aspect of life, including godliness in them and godliness in others.

I think the reason for many so called successful individuals being in limelight these days for many unwanted reasons, is that we make simple things complex, and simple issues complicated. This destroys transparency, purity, honesty, as well spirituality - which are essential components to ones success. Thus, I have a strong belief that SUCCESS is directly proportional to ones ability of being simple and comfortness. Rather, together simplicity and comfortness has multiplication effect, thereby enhancing chances of expedited and sustained success. Another simple yet strong set of powers to one success. Thank You Dr. Sinha for revealing another Sutra for Success;

SUCCESS = Power of  Simplicity and Comfortness!
