成功 Success

問：昨天的活動怎麼樣？成功嗎？
古儒吉：如果你無所求就沒有所謂成功這回事。假如你僅是來布施與服務就無所求。成功意謂著未超越。成功意謂著什麼？它意味著尚有失敗的機會。假如某事是至高超越的，就沒有什麼可以失敗的。一味追求成功的人只是在展示自己的極限而已。
成功意味著超越某個極限。要超越極限，你必須假設自己有個極限。而假設一個極限是貶低自己。假如你沒有任何界限，那你的成功會在哪裡呢？假如你的管道無可限量，那就沒有成功。你不會說你成功地喝了一杯水，因為那全在你的能力範圍之內。但是當你做了一些超越自己視為極限的事時，你就稱之為成功。
當你體悟到自己的無限寬廣時，那任何行動就都不是種成就了。
自稱成功的人僅是暴露自己的極限罷了。假如你覺得非常的成功，那意味著你已經低估了自己。所有你得到的東西，只會比你渺小。以你所得到的東西為傲，只是貶低自己罷了。
席拉：假如你覺得並未成功的為人服務呢？
古儒吉：在服務人群時，你也許會覺得做得不夠多，但你不會覺得不成功。真正的服務是，當你覺得做得還不夠多的時候。
凱：你真的非常的不成功！（笑聲）
古儒吉：我只是圓滿！
206 SUCCESS
Weekly Knowledge #206 Oslo 02 Jun 1999 Norway
Q.: How was yesterday's program? Was it successful?
Guruji: There is no question of success if you have nothing to gain. There is nothing to gain if you have only come to give and serve. Success indicates non-supremacy. Success means what? It indicates that there are chances of failure. If something is supreme there is nothing to lose. People running after success only exhibit their limitations.
Success means crossing a limit. To cross a limit you need to assume that you have a limit. Assuming a limit is underestimating yourself. If you have no boundaries then where is your success? If you have limitless access then there is no success. You don't say that you successfully drank a glass of water, because it is well within your capabilities. But when you do something that is beyond your perceived limits you claim success.
When you realise your unboundedness then no action is an achievement.
Anyone who claims to be successful only reveals his limitation. If you feel very successful it means that you have underestimated yourself. All your gains can only be smaller than you. Taking pride in any gains is belittling yourself.
Sheila: What if you feel that you are not serving successfully?
Guruji: You may feel that you have not done enough but you will not feel that you have not been successful. Real service is when you feel that you have not done enough.
Kai: You are not very successful! (Laughter)
Guruji: I am just full!
NEWS FLASH
The Scandinavian whirl-wind tour started with a lively satsang in Denmark and Finland. In Sweden the Swedish television filmed Guruji for one hour for a program for the millennium. Guruji had a hilarious talk in Stockholm and as usual the best talks are not recorded. Then on to the land of the midnight sun, Norway. Over 200 diplomats and officials attended the Human Values Conference in Oslo, followed by a grand satsang in a beautiful hall.
