Realize your Real Power

If you have a habit of taking risks, then you can achieve anything that you set your mind on.

-HH Sudhanshuji Maharaj

Our life is a priceless gift of God to us and this life is full of possibilities. Within these endless possibilities, human beings have two types of power within them- ‘Possible Power’ and ‘Probable Power’. Former is the one which is visible whereas later is the power that is present within you but in an invisible state. You have to give it a push to realize it. And this particular power can transform your life.

Also, the power which you have to boost to reach the higher levels is called ‘Sambhavya’, ‘Possible Power’; a power which can be attained and that lies out of your comfort zone. Further, God has provided mankind with immense power. Even scientists have proved that a person uses only 2% to 10% of his brain whereas almost 90% remains unused.

Now you may imagine the vast possibilities of a human body. By utilizing maximum power, you can perform tasks that you cannot imagine. But most of the time, human beings fail to awaken and use their real mental capability and power.

Realization of the Real Power

Here’s is an interesting story about the realization of the real power.

When Dr. Sukarno, the first president of Indonesia, joined school, some children made fun of him. He cried and decided that he won’t go to school anymore. His mother talked to him, his father talked to him, but nothing worked. He was firm on not rejoining school. When asked why he said all the children made fun of him. When his father understood that he is not going to listen, he tried a different approach.

He took him to a beautiful place with a spring where the water was flowing down from the top. It was the child’s favorite spot. From that spring, when water was falling from the top, there was a narrow opening where it would accumulate at the bottom. The father said, “You think you can stop this water from accumulating?” The child replied, “Water can be stopped, let’s stop it together.”

They picked up a big rock and put it by a narrow opening where the water was falling. The father said, “See the rock might be able to stop the water”, but the water kept accumulating behind that rock. Pretty soon, it overflowed over the rock and started falling with a stronger flow. The water made its way. At this, the child screamed, “See the water is falling, it did not stop. Putting the rock there did not make any difference.”

At this, the father said, “See son, water is very strong and tough. We tried to stop it by keeping the rock in its way, but the water didn’t consider the hindrance its defeat. Water gathered its strength and made the way quickly and started falling over the rock.

Now you tell me, are you less than this water that you can’t make your way? How does it matter that there are 3 kids or 30 who try to stop you or come in your way? You just have to find a way to overcome that. You just witnessed how the water made the way, it took a little bit of time, but the water flowed from the spring. The children who are against you and make fun of you, who knows tomorrow they can be your friends.”

Now the child said, “Maybe, but how can I do that?” The father replied, “The same way the water did. Give it a little time and see who can be your friend and something positive will happen.”

After this episode, Dr. Sukarno went to school and slowly started mixing with other children. There came the time when he befriended many other children as well and later these friends helped Dr. Sukarno in facing challenges that came during the independence of Indonesia. His school friends became his followers and helped him.

If Dr. Sukarno had accepted defeat at that time and quit school, he would not be able to turn into such a great personality, contributing to the independence of his country and becoming its first president.  So, never surrender due to challenges. Face them bravely and awaken your ‘Probability Power’. You will realize how this power can change your life for good.
