Can loosing what you have ensure success?

Snake is a monk in the animal world.  The statement may appear bewilderingly strange, rudimentary and reclusive.  From the evolutionary point of view, the above statement is very close to truth.  The statement also carries a very deep inner message to the corporate world as a whole in general and to the mankind in particular.

Human mind always trained to think that only when there is a progressive change (addition or increase), there is growth or success, otherwise only disaster.  Progressive means success and retrogressive means death or devolution.  But in reality, retrogressive changes also can contribute success. If someone renounces their wealth and desire, and the same is renounced forever; definitely it make the person successful and happy.   Certainly, success and happiness do come in our loosing something consciously and that is what most of the sages of the great past have portrayed to the world.   

The evolutionary scientists believe that snakes had legs once upon a time (even today we can see the vestigial legs of snakes) and progressively they lost their legs and such change had only facilitated them to be successful, as the legs were impeding their movement because of the long cylindrical body.  Had the legs of a snake not become relic, snakes would not have been as successful as what they are today.     By loosing legs only, snakes could march their way to success.  Corporate world believe that only by having something, success is possible. 

Having more is inevitable for prosperity and this is what the generally perceived philosophy of human world.  But the law and approach of nature is different.  Success is more important and ‘having or not having’ is highly irrelevant.   

By having knowledge, has man become happy?  By having all paraphernalia, is man happy?   This question is very pertinent to the corporate world as the employees in the corporate are always searching something in the world outside, what they have missed/lost within themselves.  Always they believe that having means success and not having or loosing means sadness. 

Many rich, worldly men in the past have renounced everything in search of happiness and success.  The strong message what snakes conveys to us is that loosing or not having also is an advantage provided one knows how to make use of the opportunity.  The limbless snakes may be mocking at all the limbed creatures how successful snakes are even without legs and how fast it could climb the trees or chase & run its prey.  Many animals with limbs cannot climb a tree.  Snakes can climb trees, it can run very fast, it can jump, it can swim and even can live a subterranean life.

How nature has blessed certain animals especially when the nature had done its wonder of stripping some of the facilities given to them.  If the facility given is not used properly and the same facility is causing an obstacle to the very performance, the facility has to be removed.  That is what the nature would have done to the snakes.   When the corporate provide all the comforts and fallacies, it also needs to check whether they are enabling the performance or hindering.  If hindering, fear not, strip off all the facilities.
