Persistence and Success

Do not bother about criticism. When you go beyond criticism, and the outside world which was criticising you comes to know that you are marching towards success, they will vehemently oppose you. You should be prepared to take on the second stage in your life, which is, opposition.

First is criticism. The second stage: if you are still successful beyond that criticism and you are bold enough to march forward and onward, you fill face vehement opposition. But you should still march. Then sometime, someday, someone will start appreciating your work.

Appreciation comes much much later. It may not be from the majority of the society. It may be from a minuscule fraction of society. So criticism, opposition, and then if you are still there, it is going to be appreciation. But, you must remain steady and undaunted in the battlefield of life, to reach this level.

This is the exalted state to which I have taken our organisation. Today everyone appreciates. I have taken you there. But how much I have struggled to go beyond criticism, to win over the opposition, and still wait for this moment of enjoying this success and appreciation of the society!

It took so many solid years to reach where we are today. It is not a joke. I need to share my success with all of you, the squirrels, the bears or the monkeys. You have also participated in this ‘Rama Kaingaryam’ in creating the bridge between the negative society and positive society, in trying to create a bridge from this earth to the heavens.

My cup of happiness is full. I have no regret for leaving this world. My only regret is as to why I came to this world.
