71. Achievement is not essential for living. It is essential for the mind to live.

Mind given by pain, the fury given by achievement – are not healthy. That is why I say...

Achievers are not the ones who jumped down from the sky. Many among the achievers are those who jumped out from misery and sorrow.

Therefore each one of you should understand that, achievement is not a great aspect of life.

This very understanding itself will give you the much needed rest as you gaspingly run in the field of life.

It will give you great independence.

You plan and shape up your qualities in such a way, that the drive given by the achievement will be a happy one. Before achievement sprouts up, let bliss sprout.

Those who have begun to run in the path of achievement, meditate deeply on these wisdom truths. Start working hard to make happiness sprout. Let the journey of life become a pleasant one. Achievement is after all easy to achieve.
