Relax and Understand One Important Thing
Question: What is the right approach to failure?
Answer: What must be, will be. What is meant to happen will happen. And we must be ready for everything and understand that life is like this: a white stripe, a black stripe.
Question: So after the black stripe, a white one will definitely come?
Answer: Maybe it will just lightly pass, just touch you, but it will come. And then again, a black one.
Question: Then how will I change? Will I not suffer from this, will I not beat myself up?
Answer: No, we are built in such a way that we only run away from failures. We cannot properly analyze them, understand them, correct something, and prepare for something. We cannot. We only work to escape from them. And this is a completely wrong action and philosophy in general.
If we connect these two states—failure and success—we will make ourselves sovereign over them and will not be weak-willed in times of failure or in times of success.
Question: So I kind of unite black and white?
Answer: Yes.
Question: I do not perceive it as a failure?
Answer: You rise above both states and thus go through them easily. You just need to understand what it means to rise above them.
It means to rise above your life’s striving, to stop chasing success. Understand that right now, today, you are in success already, within it.
It is like physicists say there are all sorts of black holes. So actually, we ourselves are in a black hole. In an astronomical black hole.
Question: And what is beyond it?
Answer: Nothing; and nothing is needed. Relax and understand that you are inside nature. And let it lead you. The main thing is to surrender to nature.
Question: So I throw away the oars? There is a current, I throw away the oars.
Answer: Yes.
Question: Is there a current?
Answer: Even that does not matter to me.
Question: That does not matter? To just let go of everything like that?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Is that possible?
Answer: If you believe in a wise, great, eternal, all-powerful nature, then in my opinion, it is the most reasonable decision.
Comment: Yes, this sounds very timely: nothing is in my control.
My Response: And moreover, anything you come up with to go against this on your own only emphasizes the insignificance, limitation, misunderstanding, ignorance, and disagreement with this great nature in which we exist.
Resist nothing. Invent nothing. Try simply to understand what nature itself is, agree with it, cling to it, and you will find the most optimal component of your existence.
