Namaste..

Life is a journey where we constantly strive to achieve our goals, fulfill our desires, and attain success. However, many of us focus on asking for things—whether it’s wealth, recognition, love, or opportunities—without ensuring that we truly deserve them. The Gujarati saying:

“પાત્રતા વગર માંગશો તો કઈ નહિ મળે.
અને
પાત્રતા થયા પછી વગર માંગણીએ પણ બધું મળી જશે.”

translates to:

“If you ask without being worthy, you will receive nothing.
But once you become worthy, everything will come to you without asking.”

This profound wisdom teaches us an essential lesson: instead of seeking rewards without effort, we should focus on developing ourselves to a level where success naturally follows.

The Mistake of Seeking Without Worthiness

Many people expect results without putting in the necessary work. They dream of success but avoid the discipline and effort required. Here’s why this approach fails:

1. Lack of Preparedness: If you are not ready to handle success, it can slip away just as quickly as it comes.
2. External Dependency: Relying on external sources for success makes you powerless. Instead, inner growth is the key.
3. Missed Opportunities: Without the right skills, mindset, and dedication, even if an opportunity comes, you may not be able to seize it.

For instance, if someone desires a high-paying job but lacks the necessary skills or experience, merely asking for it won’t yield results. The job market rewards capability, not just wishful thinking.

Building Worthiness: The Key to Effortless Success

The second part of the quote suggests that when we become truly deserving, success finds us. This is because:

1. Skills and Knowledge Attract Opportunities: When you invest in learning and growth, people recognize your value and offer you the best opportunities.
2. Hard Work Builds Confidence: Those who work on themselves exude confidence, making them naturally appealing for success.
3. Success Becomes Inevitable: When you are well-prepared, life presents you with chances effortlessly—because you are ready to handle them.

Imagine a businessperson who consistently learns about their industry, networks with the right people, and improves their strategies. Even without actively seeking success, they will attract clients, partnerships, and profits because they have built a solid foundation.

How to Become Truly Worthy

If you want to reach a point where success comes effortlessly, here are some steps to build your worthiness:

1. Develop Your Skills: Learn continuously. Expertise and knowledge create value.
2. Work with Dedication: Hard work and perseverance set you apart.
3. Cultivate the Right Mindset: Stay positive, focused, and open to growth.
4. Be Patient: Success takes time. Focus on improvement rather than instant results.
5. Offer Value to Others: The more you give, the more you receive.

Conclusion

Instead of asking for success prematurely, invest in making yourself capable of handling it. When you focus on self-improvement, success naturally gravitates toward you—without you having to chase it.

So, the next time you find yourself wishing for something, ask yourself: Am I truly worthy of it? If not, focus on becoming the kind of person who deserves it, and soon, you won’t have to ask—success will come to you effortlessly.
