Progress is the law of life. Those who stagnate start stinking. One should have ever progressive attitude in life. The more a man advances, he starts enjoying life which is the very purpose of human life. One should become a living embodiment of enjoyment through success which comes by untiring hard work with full zeal. Dedication, devotion and above all regard and concern for the fellow-beings.

Anybody’s success should be a source of inspiration and not jealousy for us. If any man can succeed and advance, it means that every body can be successful like him and rather excel him. This should be the attitude. A man becomes what he thinks. When we start thinking high, our mind is tuned to the higher spirits which would guide us as to how we have to proceed to attain the desired result. By untiring hard work and loveful relations with fellow-beings, success would follow working on the lines of guidance coming from the higher entities. Destination and objectives would be realized. We have to advance further and further, and make new targets so as to achieve them. In this way, we have to become a divine vehicle of success which should become a source of inspiration for others, thus revolution of progress can be brought in the whole humanity.
Swami Vivekananda has said that Lakshmi is applied Saraswati. It means that we should have more and more sup-to-date knowledge of our subject and then work hard continuously without the least sense of boredom. Once a man is accustomed to attaining knowledge and working hard, there is no limit to his success which becomes an unlimited phenomenon, Man, being a portion of the Supreme Lord, has unlimited power, knowledge and qualities. It is the foremost duty of everybody to materialize the divinity in himself, which is very much possible and that can be done by tuning oneself to the almighty Lord who is the source of sources. Some of the techniques are given below for contemplation and practice.
1. Always feel the presence of the Lord. Never feel alone. Whenever there is any problem, close your eyes gently and pray mentally to the Lord to guide and provide the solution. Keep concentration above the head. Sit for sometime peacefully and wait for divine guidance. With due practice, you would attain the art of seeking intellectual solution to every problem. This is a tried technique. In the beginning, the process may be done while going to hec at night. By and by, one becomes so musch turned to the Almighty by His grace that solution precedes problem. For such a person, problems cease to exist. He rather becomes an instrument of solving problems of the others, such is the beauty of this technique.
2. Close your eyes gently. Pray to the Lord to help you and make your life divine. Then call for peace repeating three times in to your mind. Then feel the descent of peace coming from the sky, you would start bathing in peace. In the due course, one becomes a store house of divine peace. It may please be noted that peace is the source of sources. We should try to make our mind peaceful, stable and pure. In this way, one becomes an instrument of the Divine, life becomes blissful, peaceful, beautiful, powerful and above all full of love and concern for others. Even material success follows such beings.

4. Speak less and listen more with patience and respect for the speaker even if his ideas do not appeal to you. This technique develops, broadens and deepens the mental outlook of the person. Apart from increasing intelligence, it also improves relations. It has been rightly said that silence is gold. The secret of greatness of high personalities is that they were very good listeners. With due efforts, the technique of listening must be developed.

The article is well written an is thought provoking. Progress is the essence of life. Every one around us is continuously looking at oneself and trying to make that incremental progress in life which gives him a sense of happiness and achievement. Lack of will to achieve and progress are a sign of mental inactivity and decay. It does not indicate a healthy mind and a progressive outlook. Even ones own near & dear wants one to continuously strive for greater achievements and success in life.
