That which we usually call as worldly success is nothing but the success of the world upon us. It is not worldly success; it is the world’s success in winning us, defeating us, trampling us. The world is all over us—and that we call as our worldly success!
So, what is real worldly success? Real worldly success is to never allow the world to become too much for you.
Never allow the world to mean too much to you. Never allow the world to hurt you. Never allow the world to allure you. That’s worldly success.
Worldly success is to not do in the world that which the world commands you to do, but to do stuff in the world that will liberate everyone of the world.
