POWERLESS

Even if you try to show yourself as
powerful, when you are feeling inside
powerless, the pull and push internally
creates tremendous stress.

Comparing yourself with people whom you think higher than you puts you into the eternal depression. We can call this hell as "Kumbhipaakam". Garuda Purana describes various hells. Putting yourself in the space of powerlessness is equivalent to putting yourself in hell with a lot of effort.

Neither comparing yourself with the
people who you think are higher than
you nor comparing yourself with people
who you think are lower than you is
going to keep you powerful or help you
in your life.

Remain powerful by remembering
comparing with others is a sickness
which happens due to powerlessness.

Whether you compare yourself
with people whom you think are
higher than you or you think are
lower than you, you are in the
space of powerlessness and you
are destroying yourself. And you
are going to destroy yourself
unless you raise yourself, unless
you complete with yourself.
