It does not matter to a person self real...ized whether he is successful or unsuccessful, well-known or absolutely unknown, powerful or just a nobody. To a person self...ized, these dualities don't matter at all, because self awareness is the greatest treasure.

When you have it, you don't want anything else. You don't want to become the president of the world.

Those who pursue power, suffer even in success. Why? because they live in the eternal fear that they might lose this sucess. What goes up must come down thingking.

At first they suffered because they were not successful; now after being successful, too, they are suffering because of a feeling of insecurity.

Self real...ization and peace of mind prevent much suffering and build and maintain well-being.
