NOTHING IN LIFE COMES FOR FREE, THERE IS HARD WORK INVOLVED AT EVERY STEP

This happens to all of us at some time or another. Despite putting in a lot of hard work, we do not get the desired results, and this leaves us frustrated. We start blaming our luck, our stars, and sometimes even God for being unjust to us. However, we must remember that hard work never goes unrewarded.

We may not get the result in the way we desire, but the Almighty will definitely reward us for our hard work in one way or another. A lazy man once dreamt of finding a treasure in his farm and he dug the entire field searching for it. He was disappointed at not finding the treasure. On the advice of a saint, he had sowed some seeds in it. After some time, he harvested a bumper crop and with this money he could buy anything.

Whatever we achieve as individuals is due to the hard work that we put in. All inventions, space explorations and discoveries are the result of hard work. Luck also favours people who help themselves. Often, when we see successful people, we only see their success and not the years of hard work that preceded it. Thomas Jefferson rightly said: “I’m a greater believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.” As per the Bhagavad Gita, we are in control of our karma, and not the results. Hence, as individuals, our primary duty is to do our work with utmost sincerity and devotion.
