Sometimes we do wonder, why some people can be so successful in their own way? And we do look up to them with admiration.
With these two qualities they carry with them all the while: Abhyasa ( Intense practice) & Viragya ( Dispassion).
Abhyasa or Intense Practice...
There are people who want to get involve in many many things, hope to broaden their opportunity of success. There are people who just specialize in an area, and work to be the best in that skill.
With Abhyasa, one work with full focus, undistributed & undisturbed mind, regardless of external environment, the intensity of inner practice is still firm. Unwavering trust of oneself, not bothered by criticizer's expectations.This involves strong self- discipline, not giving in to temptations for short happiness--- because one knows that there's a prolonged joy awaiting.
With this, Viragya or Dispassion has to be around...
There are people work towards an expectation and results. Therefore, having excitement and disappointment.
There are people who work in perfecting the present moment, without grabbing onto the end result. Therefore, having joy in all that the work provides.
If in doing something comes with a certain expectation or intention, the result of the work will surely affect us. The quality of the work will then be dependent on the expectation.
In performing an act without an intention, one would learn how to take failure and success equally as life lessons. Dispassion in working, does not involve in the mind of analyzing. It involve fully the heart of awareness in enjoyment.
