Arise, Awake and Stop not till the goal is reached is one of the most famous messages conveyed by Swami Vivekananda. I wonder what was he thinking when said this. What Goal was he referring to when he said this. Did he mean this for anything and everything we do? Those of us who believe in logic, science, reasoning would say yes. Its conventional wisdom that harder we work, closer we would be to goal. But what about people who are not clear on the goals they should pursue. Even Swami Vivekanada did not have a solution for them I guess. In this context I envy those who are clear on what they should pursue. Here, I have got a very empirical (no way of proving the same) observation to make. All those I have met and are not Indians (have got quite an opportunity to do so thanks to my job) seem to clearer on their ultimate goals. The clarity with which they seem to go about their lives amazes me and of course I envy them for the same. The ease with which they go about their professional work & of course pursue personal interests is pretty cool. I have been trying (by that I mean contemplating) on what I want to do in future. Must say not easy. Have tried putting it down on paper (my usual trick to get closer to answers). Hope to crack this and action the same for myself........
