Each individual is unique. Can you compare a lion and a horse? Do we ever compare ourselves to flowers or birds or mountains? We simply enjoy their beauty, is it not? In the same way, why can’t you see and enjoy other human beings also?
Although human beings appear to be the same, each one is unique and traveling on a different path. As long as you travel on your path with full concentration, you will experience fulfillment every minute. You won’t even know what it means to look at another person’s track.
A small story:
One man was driving along a dark village road where there were no streetlights.
He decided to follow the car in front of him to play it safe.
They went on for some distance and suddenly the lead car stopped.
The man went and crashed into it.
“Why didn’t you signal that you were going to stop?” he screamed out.
The driver put his head out and asked, “Inside my own garage?”
(Loud laughter!)
If you concentrate on your own track, you will be continuously progressing and expanding your own capacity. You need to compare yourself with only yourself, never with others. You need to win yourself only by yourself, not by others. Every minute of comparison with others is a waste of time in your own progress.
