Building Life
English book, p. 87
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
The Struggle of Life person’s path truly ends. When one path appears blocked, there are always many other paths open. A foolish person might, without a doubt, lose hope and become discouraged upon seeing a blocked path or crashing into it. However, if you keep your eyes open and think logically, with the will to handle any situation, you will never face the disaster of having your path blocked. THE STRUGGLE OF LIFE Life is a constant struggle. In this fight, only those who have the courage to turn their desires into real accomplishments can succeed. A person may seem limited on the surface, but inside, he harbours unlimited desires. His abilities and courage are without limits. That’s why, when he faces life’s challenges, the vastness of the world starts to feel narrow to him. Every success begins to seem incomplete. Every achievement makes him feel he hasn’t reached everything he aimed for. In such a situation, what truly forms the foundation of a successful life? If we define a successful life as one where a person gets everything they desire completely, experience shows us that this kind of fulfillment is impossible in this world. If success means achieving all that one wants, ultimately, only despair will result. For someone with this mindset, there are only two possible outcomes in life— despair or suicide.
