ASPIRATION AND EXPECTATION

ASPIRATION AND EXPECTATION : 

There is a significant distinction between aspiration and expectation. You should have aspiration in life but not expectation. Aspiration seeks to be fulfilled in a creative mode, whereas expectation is part of a begging mode. Aspiration is the basic element for experiencing growth. Expectation is the basic element for embracing sorrow. When you expect, you depend on the other and hence, you are bound by the other. This may sound confusing for those of you who don’t think deeply on the distinction between aspiration and expectation.
Aspiration is our inner nature that is seeking its outer expression. Our life is like a beautiful car, and aspiration is like the key. Aspiration leads to fulfillment. Even if it is not pleasing, still, aspiration is satisfying, whereas expectation is unsatisfying. Expectation is an enemy of life, for it makes you a beggar and not a creator. This may be difficult for you to understand offhand unless you make the effort to comprehend the import of these words. To make it a little more simple, to make it easier for you to digest, let me put it another way. Let the centre of your life be aspiration and let expectation be at the circumference of your life. Whereas for most of us the centre of life is expectation and the circumference is aspiration. This kind of attitude will only create chaos in your life.

Om Namah Shivay.
