| It is mentioned that "Success begets success." But how is success to be achieved and what is the success you should aim at? The Bhagavad Geeta declares: "Shraddhavan Labhathe Jnanam" (The persevering seeker secures wisdom). This means that without perseverance and earnestness no success can be achieved. Man is not able to make significant progress towards the Divine because of absence of strenuous striving in the spiritual sphere. Without spiritual practice, reading religious books and listening to spiritual discourses have no value. Study of scriptures and reciting God's names may be good acts in themselves. But, if there is no love, which is the basis of all Sadhana (spiritual discipline), they are of no use. |

Men zegt: “Succes brengt succes voort.” Maar hoe kan je dit verkrijgen en welk succes moet je nastreven? De Bhagavad Gita zegt hierover: “De volhardende zoeker verwerft wijsheid (Shraddhavan Labhathe Jananam). Dit wil zeggen dat men zonder doorzettingsvermogen en oprechtheid geen succes kan bereiken. De mens kan geen noemenswaardige vooruitgang naar het Goddelijke boeken omdat hij zich niet blijvend inspant op spiritueel vlak. Zonder praktijk heeft het lezen van inspirerende boeken en het luisteren naar spirituele toespraken geen waarde. Het is goed om de geschriften te bestuderen en Gods namen te reciteren. Maar zonder liefde, die de basis is van alle spirituele discipline (Sadhana), is het zinloos. |

| É dito que ‘o sucesso traz sucesso’. Mas como o sucesso deve ser alcançado e qual sucesso você deve almejar? A Bhagavad Ghita declara: ‘Shraddhavan Labhathe Jnanam’ (‘O perseverante buscador assegura sabedoria’). Isso significa que, sem perseverança e seriedade, nenhum sucesso pode ser alcançado. O homem não é capaz de fazer progressos significativos em direção ao Divino devido à ausência de esforço árduo na esfera espiritual. Sem a prática espiritual, a leitura de livros religiosos e ouvir discursos espirituais não têm valor. Estudar as Escrituras e recitar os nomes de Deus podem ser bons atos por si próprios. Mas se não houver amor, que é a base de toda disciplina espiritual (Sadhana), eles não têm utilidade. | |||

| Сказано: "Успех порождает успех." Но как добиться успеха, и к какому успеху Вы должны стремиться? В Бхагават Гите говорится: "Шраддхаван Лабхате Джнанам" (упорный искатель обретает мудрость). Это означает, что без настойчивости и серьезности невозможно достичь успеха. Не прилагая напряжённых усилий в духовной сфере, человек не может добиться значимых успехов на пути к Богу. Без духовной практики чтение религиозных книг и слушание лекций на духовные темы не имеют никакой ценности. Изучение священных писаний и повторение имен Бога могут быть хороши сами по себе. Но если нет любви, которая является основанием любой Садханы (духовной дисциплины), они бесполезны. | |||
