When your Desire becomes your Devotion!

Om Shanti Om had a dialog that was quintessential SRK –

Kitni shiddat se tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai..
Ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai..

and then he goes on to give an entire speech!

Kehte hain agar kisi cheez ko agar dil se chaho to saari kayanath tumhe usse milane ki koshish me lag jaati hai..
Aaj aap sabne milke mujhe meri chahat se milaya.. Thank you very much.. and I feel like I am the king of the world…
Aaj mujhe yakin hogaya dosto, ki hamari zindagi bhi hamare hindi filmon ke jaisa hi hai.. jaha pe end mein sab kuch theek ho jaata hai.. “Happies Endings”.. Lekin agar End mein sab kuch theek na ho to woh the end nahi hain dosto.. Picture abhi baaki hai..

But that one line remains so important to me because it explains the secret of success.  If you really want something and that want is to the level of Shiddat – shiddat is Devotion.  Devotion is selfless love.  When the self is no more there.  THAT is the level of love for anything..  when that is there then, he says, that every part of the Universe conspires to make you One with that goal/aim/object of devotion!

This one line is so beautiful spiritually that I cannot rave about it enough!  And it is so correct from the materialistic standpoint that I cannot speak of it enough!
