________________ 26 The Path of Life Living the life of a weak, frightened, fawning and obsequious life of a stray dog is no life at all. Bowing your head and surrendering yourself before injustice is a mark of weakness. The coward can never fight the battle of life. He wastes his life in placating others. He keeps compromising himself with everybody and thus in the end. creeps into the grave. on AMAR VANI In the like manner, living the life of an ever-howling hungry wolf is also no life. There is no zest in meeting or grief in parting in such a life. There is nothing but burning fire all around. There is not a drop of water. Nor is it good to be hard iike a stone. There must be the tenderness of love in life. A judicious blending of hardness and tenderness is the ideal way of life. The Purpose of Life The purpose of life is not merely the accumulation and amassing of material possessions. Its real ideal is to distribute and give away judiciously whatever you have got. The Key to Success You often find your task uninteresting, unsuccessful and incomplete. Have you ever considered why it is so? It is high time you should have considered this. Your task is left incomplete because you do not apply all your faith, all your devotion and all your intelligence and energy to the completion of the task. These are the prerequisites for getting honour and success in life. Nothing can be obtained without them.
