"ARISE, AWAKE AND STOP NOT TILL THE GOAL IS REACHED"

Anonymous said...: But what is the goal, and when I reach it, how come that what used to be the goal for so long, is suddenly a banality... The best moment is just before achieving it, when you know it's there and you will achieve it. But how sad it is if you know the best was at some point in the past and nothing ahead of you will be that good.; December 20, 2010 at 2:19 AM

@Anonymous,
My thoughts / interpretations
I'd say you are being pessimistic. How can you be so sure that "nothing ahead of you will be that good." You haven't lived those moments yet!
The 'goal' could be anything. The deal is how seriously are you working towards achieving it. And once you achive it, sit back, relax, enjoy the moment and move on. you will cherish the moment in furure, that does not mean you will not have another best waiting for you

As my Guru said "You never asked 'why me? what did I do to deserve it?' whenever something good happened to you. You enjoyed the moment and moved on. Do not ask the same question whenever something bad happens to you. Move on and enjoy the life"; January 7, 2011 at 1:03 AM
