Instincts.

Do you trust your instincts?

Once a person came to Swami Vivekananda’s ashram who was very sad. As soon as the person came, he started crying in front of Swami Vivekananda ji and said, “I am very unhappy with my life, I work very hard in my daily life but never get success.” I have never been successful despite being educated and hardworking.
Swamiji understood the problem of that person in an instant. In those days Swamiji had a small pet dog, and he said to that person – ‘You take my dog for a walk some distance then I will answer your ⁉️

The man looked at Swamiji in great surprise and then took the dog and went some distance away. After walking around for a long time, when the person reached back to Swamiji, Swamiji saw that the person’s face was still shining, while the dog looked very tired. So the person said – I was merely walking my way, but this dog was running after all the dogs in the street and would fight and come back to me. We’ve both taken a similar path, but still, this dog has run a lot more than me, so it’s tired. Swamiji smiled and said – This is the answer to all your questions, your destination is around you, it is not far away, but instead of going to the destination, you keep running after other people and move away from your destination
