Devotion is superior to Ambition


The generalization of both of these term devotion and ambition is “To get”. Nevertheless, the objectives of both things are very different. To get something materials is ambition and to get almighty God is devotion. After all things depends on the relevant importance of the things in one’s life. If one can understand its own welfare then after one prefers which is best for him/her. To be materialized and be prosperous is also one’s economical welfare but one’s spiritual welfare is more important than any other welfare. If prosperity cannot give you the ultimate peace and emancipation then why should you involve within it entirely. Bharat sacrificed all the royal prosperity when he had been given the entire kingdom during Ram’s dwelling in forest. Devotion to Ram was superior there than ambition to get something.

Bharat gave up all the royal wealth and abandoned his mother as well who was the reason behind the chaos. Bharat knew that real happiness was under the devotion to almighty God Ram not in the being king of kingdom. When you are free from all the bugs and disease of getting something, you can reach the level of emancipation where your attitude toward world is totally changed. Ambition converts from ‘get it’ into ‘give up’ and that is devotion.

When you give something, your hand will be up and when you get something, your hand will be down. This position of hands points to the height of devotion, which is always higher and superior than the rest of the world. When you realize that nothing is mine, you can give them easily to others without hesitation and you love to God who possesses all the physical and non-physical things in this universe. This love to God is the aspire of devotion and makes all things easy for you when each things are meaningful to you. You persuade yourself, what is mine here and what I should do for getting things, which is realy, mine.
