The Subtle, Subtler and Sublime

Among the five basic element that constitute the universe and the invisible Nature, Jala (water, other liquids and fluids) is subtler than Prithvi (solid matter on the earth); it can spread all over the earth; Prithvi is born from Jala, and is dissolved in it during Pralay (the final destruction of the universe). Agni is subtler than Jala. Jala is produced from Agni (fire and thermal and other energies); for example, we swelter in heat.
Jala evaporates or is absorbed by Agni. The latter is born in Vayu (air, gases); Vayu can spread over Agni and is subtler that it. Agni is dissolvable in Vayu. Akasha (space) is subtler than all the four elements; its expansion contains Vayu, Time, mind and intellect is subtler than Akasha.
Thoughts lie in the mind. Intellect is subtler and superior than mind; both exist in the sublime domain of consciousness. What is more sublime than the origin of time, mind and intellect? It is the Paramatma - the omnipresent supreme consciousness force. This Brahm indwells in every being, everywhere, but we can't perceive it, as our senses, our mind and intellect are not awakened to realize the sublime. It is only through the unflinching endeavors of Sadhana, life after life, that the one experiences this supra-mental truth in the inner self

Create your Destiny
The one, who eats his first morsel after starving for the whole day and putting in hard labor to earn it, knows the test taste of bread. He then knows real worth of money and would use it best, who perspires his blood to earn it honestly. He alone can measure the magnitude of success, who has struggled against all odds. The one, who has learnt to smile even in adverse circumstances, who marches ahead with greater zeal after failures, he is the real winner.
Those who have no endurance and courage to fight the obstructions in their march towards the goal often blame their destiny and complain against circumstances and other people. But this is nothing but making a mockery of their own efforts. It does not lead anywhere, rather, hampers their abilities and future attempts. One, who regards himself as ill-omened or less privileged in fact, shakes his self-confidence and invites more of despair and superstitions. His success in achieving something significant remains in doubt.
Adversities, hardships and varieties of challenges in the efforts of ascent are tests of whether one deserves success or not? Those who pass it eventually become the conquerors and achievers. Those, who do not, ought to face failures. This is how one is an architect of his own fate.
