Accomplishment does follow true wish
It is a well accepted fact that accomplishment would follow when true wish power founded on deep-felt dreams is routed through an abiding power to persevere with intelligence. This focused work is what Bhagawad Gita terms (II, 50) as “skill in action” (karmasu koushalam).

Nevertheless, the question now arises as to how an aspirant has to go about translating into reality the objective , as above. A clue to obtaining this supreme and sublime state is contained in the Bible (John: 8,32): “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” . This freedom — that “only true law” — is that acquisition, whereby one is liberated from the binding effects of all ignorance, opinions , prejudices, notions, whims and fancies. In this process, he divines truth of matters — that supreme knowledge (jnanagni, as termed by Gita).

Rooted thus in wisdom and rightness in all approach, he is enlightened and liberated (muktaha). This is that liberation and freedom which releases the aspirant from earthly mediocre existence, guiding him to pre-empt all wrongs, mistakes or errors of judgment. This also is that state of being “saved of all folly, vanity and vice” , where one obviates dissipations, distractions or disturbances. Art of living and skill in action manifest in every aspect, as if translating into practice Buddha’s eight fold path. This “victory over oneself” is, naturally, a state where one can “never know any defeat” . In this attainment lies the key to opening all doors to realising one’s pet dreams and aspirations in life!
