Unless the weaker person is prepared to accept aid, a powerful person cannot assist them, and even then, the weak person must grow strong on their own; through their own efforts, they must build the power they adore in others. Only he can change his circumstances. Men have typically stated and thought, "Many men are slaves since one is an oppressor; let us despise the oppressor." At present, however, a growing number of individuals are inclined to reconsider this opinion and express, "One man is an oppressor because many are slaves; let us despise the slaves."
The truth is that the oppressor and the slave are fellow travelers in ignorance, and while they appear to be inflicting injury on one another, they are actually inflicting it on themselves. A perfect Knowledge sees the operation of the law in the weakness of the downtrodden and the misapplied authority of the oppressor; a perfect Love condemns neither since it sees the misery that both situations bring; a perfect Compassion encompasses both the oppressor and the oppressed.
He who has conquered weakness and gotten rid of all selfish thoughts is neither an oppressor nor a victim. He has no restrictions.
Only through uplifting his thoughts can a man climb, triumph, and accomplish anything. Only by choosing not to elevate his thoughts can he stay miserable, pathetic, and frail. Prior to accomplishing anything, even in material things, a person needs to elevate their thoughts above servile animal indulgence. He certainly doesn't have to give up all animality and selfishness to succeed, but at least some of it must be sacrificed. A guy who initially thought of animal indulgence wouldn't be able to think straight or organize methodically, wouldn't be able to discover and develop his hidden talents, and would fail at every endeavor. He is unable to control things or accept major obligations because he has not begun to control his thoughts like a man. He is not suitable to stand alone and act independently. But he is restricted solely by the ideas that he chooses.
A man's worldly achievement will be commensurate with the degree to which he sacrifices his muddled animal thoughts, dedicates his thoughts to the development of his plans, and fortifies his resolve and self-reliance. There can be no advancement without sacrifice. And the more righteous, upright, and manly he becomes, the more successful he will be and the more blessed and lasting his accomplishments will be.
Even if it may occasionally appear to be the case on the surface, the cosmos does not support the avaricious, the dishonest, or the wicked; it supports the honest, the magnanimous, and the virtuous. In different ways, all the great Teachers of the centuries have affirmed this, and in order to demonstrate and comprehend it, one need only to continue elevating their thoughts to become more and more moral. Thinking devoted to the quest of knowledge or to the beautiful and true in nature and life leads to intellectual breakthroughs. Even though vanity and ambition may sometimes be related to such accomplishments, they are not a result of those traits; rather, they are a natural outcome of prolonged and strenuous effort, as well as of pure and unselfish ideas.
The fulfillment of sacred ambitions are spiritual accomplishments. As certainly as the sun reaches its peak and the moon reaches its fullness, a man who lives in the idea of elevated and noble ideas and who dwells on everything that is pure and selfless will grow wise and noble in character and attain a position of power and blessedness.
The diadem of thought and the crown of endeavor are accomplishments of any sort. A guy rises with the help of self-control, determination, purity, righteousness, and well-aimed thought; he falls with the help of animality, idleness, impurity, corruption, and confusion of thought.
A man may climb to great success in the world, even to elevated heights in the spiritual realm, but he can also fall back into weakness and misery by letting conceited, egoistic, and dishonest thoughts rule him.
Only through vigilance can triumphs won through appropriate thinking be sustained. Numerous people falter and soon descend into failure when success seems certain. The same law and approach govern all accomplishments, whether in the business, intellectual, or spiritual sectors, and they are the product of specifically focused thinking; the only distinction is the purpose of attainment.
Whoever wants to do a little must make a little sacrifice; whoever wants to do a lot must make a lot of sacrifice; and whoever wants to accomplish a lot must make a lot of sacrifice.
