Akram Youth Fear | June 2016 | Akram Youth | Page 11
Questioner: Whenever I go to write my exams, I am very afraid. What if I don't know any
of the answers?
Aptputra: Since you don't like exams, you fear them, otherwise examinations are not
bad. Since you don't have an interest in studies, you are unable to prepare yourself
appropriately. Hence you have this fear of exams, and fear of results. If you do take
interest in your studies and be sincere to your goal of education, you will surely be
successful.
Even a spider makes many attempts to climb up the wall. The spider falls down several
times, but it doesn't let go of its goal. It remains sincere to its goal, so it finally climbs up
the wall and achieves its goal. Therefore, you must also remain sincere to your goal of
studying and pursue it relentlessly, and you will be successful. Stop worrying about what
the neighbours will say, or what your friends will say, or even what your parents will say.
All of them are busy with their own worries. Let us see what Dadashri has to say about
sincerity.
Dadashri: Once you are sincere, you will win any challenge you face. When you are
insincere, you will not win. So remain sincere in all your dealings and you will win the
world. When you win the world, you will be able to attain salvation. No one in this world
will allow you to achieve salvation (moksh) unless you have won them over.
By multiplying your sincerity and with the Gnani's grace, you can achieve
success in all that you pursue!
