"The Dance of Success and Failure: Navigating the Spiritual Landscape of a Dualistic World"

जमाना क्या कहेगा

ये मत सोचो...

क्योंकि ज़माना बहुत अजीब हैं,

नाकामयाब लोगो का मज़ाक उड़ाता हैं

और कामयाब लोगो से जलता हैं!

English Translation.

"What will the world say,

Don't think about it...

Because the world is quite strange,

It mocks unsuccessful people

And is jealous of successful ones!"

The lines you've shared appear to reflect a sentiment about the peculiar nature of the world and its response to both unsuccessful and successful individuals. The essence of these lines suggests that the world tends to mock those who face failures and takes pleasure in their misfortunes, while simultaneously harbouring jealousy or resentment towards those who achieve success. To delve deeper into the context of spirituality and these observations, let's explore the intertwined relationship between success, failure, and spiritual perspectives.

Introduction: The verses highlight the paradoxical nature of the world, emphasizing how it reacts differently to those who succeed and those who fail. This duality in the world's response prompts us to examine the underlying spiritual principles that may influence these dynamics.

Success and Failure in the Material World: In the materialistic realm, success often comes with recognition, wealth, and influence. However, the pursuit of these external markers can lead to a competitive and cutthroat environment where those who fall short are sometimes ridiculed. This is a common aspect of human nature and societal dynamics.

Spiritual Perspective on Success and Failure: In spiritual teachings, success and failure are often viewed differently. Spirituality encourages detachment from external outcomes and emphasizes inner growth, wisdom, and compassion. In this context, success is not just about material achievements but also about spiritual evolution. Failures, seen through a spiritual lens, can be viewed as opportunities for learning and self-discovery.

The Ego and Jealousy: The verses suggest that the world tends to mock unsuccessful individuals and feel envious of successful ones. This reaction is deeply rooted in the human ego. The ego, driven by desires and a sense of separation, often perceives others' success as a threat and takes pleasure in the misfortunes of those who have not achieved conventional success.

Spiritual Principles of Detachment and Compassion: Spirituality advocates for the dissolution of the ego and the cultivation of qualities such as compassion and detachment. Detachment does not mean indifference to success or failure but rather a freedom from being overly affected by them. It involves recognizing the impermanence of external circumstances and finding a deeper, unshakable source of contentment within.

Understanding the Law of Karma: From a spiritual perspective, the concept of karma is integral to the understanding of success and failure. Karma is the law of cause and effect, stating that our actions have consequences. Success or failure in this life may be a result of past actions (karma), but the spiritual perspective also suggests that the present moment is an opportunity to create new, positive karma through conscious and intentional actions.

Overcoming Dualities: The verses draw attention to the dualities present in the world—mockery of the unsuccessful and jealousy of the successful. Spiritual teachings often emphasize the transcendence of dualities. The idea is to move beyond the polarities of success and failure, joy and sorrow, and see the underlying unity that connects all aspects of existence.

Humility and Gratitude: Successful individuals are advised in spiritual traditions to practice humility and gratitude. Humility involves recognizing that external success does not define one's worth, and gratitude is an acknowledgment of the interconnectedness of all beings. Expressing gratitude for success and approaching it with humility can mitigate the jealousy that success might evoke in others.

Compassion for the Unsuccessful: From a spiritual standpoint, compassion towards those facing challenges or failures is crucial. Instead of mocking or ridiculing them, a compassionate approach involves understanding that everyone is on their unique journey with its own set of challenges. Compassion fosters a sense of unity and shared humanity.

Conclusion: In the complex interplay of success, failure, and the world's reactions, spirituality offers a profound perspective. It encourages a shift from the external markers of success to inner growth, detachment, and compassion. The ego-driven tendencies of mockery and jealousy can be transformed into humility and gratitude. The understanding of karma provides a framework for navigating the consequences of actions with awareness and intention. Ultimately, the spiritual journey invites individuals to transcend dualities and recognize the interconnected and divine nature of all existence.

When you are very different from people, they don’t just not understand you but they misunderstand you; which means they judge you based on their own concepts, labels, ways of thinking and believing.

They cannot see you for who you really are because they may not have the capacity to project themselves into your unique mind.  So they just might ignore you and label you something you’re not since they only understand people like themselves.

Never pretend or downplay yourself for others.  Like I said, people will judge you based on their minds.  Not many have the capacity to actually use empathy and project themselves into your mind to understand you, and that’s okay.  You seek your path.  Worry not about what others think and feel about you and your life.

5♥️ - What was your muse’s most heartbreaking separation/divorce/etc? 

Cyril is most often a decidedly stoic man whose mind is ruled largely by logic. He prefers to maintain a view on situations where his heart doesn’t have the opportunity to run away with his head. That said, when the time comes to cut ties, he is able to settle back into his more logical, non-emotional thinking quite easily. After all, he can’t afford those kinds of distractions.

Logically - Cyril knows a man of his station and trade is no fit for a husband, nor a father. He’s never been under any illusion that he will ever “settle down” with any one person, or have a family or children in any capacity. He does not lament this. It is not something he desires or longs for, as he’s quite happy with his life as it is and the freedom he his afforded. Just oftentimes when people speak of the matter, or inquire as to if he ever would retire and settle down, he will dismiss the notion entirely - often with a smile, shrug, and a shake of his head.

Though despite all of this, Cyril is something of a hopeless romantic at heart, it just manifests differently than the traditional marriage expectation or route. Casual relationships, or even long-term relationships where there is no expectation of marriage or family, are much more his preference. In these he can of course develop extremely deep attachments to his lovers, and of course his feelings are genuine. Cyril, when given the opportunity to be, is very doting. Lovers can expect gifts, poetry, almost all of his spare time, music, and extremely tender treatment most of the time. 

Breaking those connections does hurt, but Cyril is well aware that none of his relationships are likely to last forever, or even particularly long - so again snapping out of the more emotional / doting mentality back to his more logical mentality often makes that shift very easy.

Sometimes a lover does not know of his trade, sometimes they do. Sometimes they take issue, sometimes they do not. Whatever the specifics of how the two come together, in almost any case, being with Cyril does put his lover in considerable danger. Cyril never faults a lover for wishing to part ways due to the fear of being tangled up in his business, he’s very understanding of that. In some cases, he will sever ties first just to protect someone he’s grown to attached to. Though... secret meetings and love letters might still happen... he is a sappy romantic, after all. 

But ultimately no relationship of his is fated to “last”, and yes - when that separation comes - it is hard on him. No one relationship has plagued him more than the others thus far; all of them pain him a great deal, because every connection is unique. Though the pain is usually disguised very well, as his usual way of coping is drowning himself in his work and perhaps being more aggressive and tactile for a short time - it’d be hard to say such a mood swing is any different from his usual, textbook unpredictability.

But more privately, he will keep notes, trinkets, keepsakes, and so on tucked away, locked in his desk or nightstand. He remembers each person that has come into his life, and aches sometimes for their company in different ways. I suppose Cyril is forever the victim of “the one that got away”.
