Responsibility and Compulsion

Every man should be under some kind of a compulsion on a regular basis. The most common form of compulsion arises out of our need for subsistence, our need for making a livelihood. Need for money puts a great compulsion upon every common man. Sense of responsibility brings in compulsion. Responsibility towards our own family is probably the starting point. From there it may extend to any extent.

Those men who can guide themselves to success without any compulsion from any external source are simply great men. Great men do not feel the need for money so much. Their compulsion comes out of their noblest thoughts, ideas and desires. That only helps them to become great. They have a great ability to ascertain the right priorities for different tasks. They set their goals accordingly. They do not get lost amidst useless thoughts.

Compulsion sets us free. When we are compelled to perform a task, many a fake prejudices, vanities and inhibitions vanish from our minds, and we become free. Our minds become fresh as we are relieved of many a negative thoughts and aspects of our minds. We find it very easy to set aside all apprehensions. We can get rid of all false anticipation of adversity or misfortune, or false suspicion and fear of any future trouble or evil.

Compulsion keeps us disciplined, healthy and strong. We regain our lost confidence in this way. Our whole world gets refreshed with a fragrance of total healthiness.

When we are totally free from all kinds of responsibilities, we really become idle. That is possibly something built in within us. Idleness brings in all kinds of pain and agony.

So at all times we all need to be under some kind of compulsion and responsiveness. If responsibility and compulsion knocks at your doorstep or enters into your room, don't feel agitated or afraid. Most of the times it comes as a blessing in disguise. Responsibility and compulsion keep us reformed.
