When he looks forwards, he feels that his life is immature.
When he looks backwards, he feels that his life is premature.And finally, when he looks inwards, he sees that his life is a giant failure.
When an aspiring man looks upwards, he feels that his life is protection and salvation.
When he looks forwards, he feels that his life is determination and realisation.When he looks backwards, he feels that his life is imperfection and frustration.
When he looks inwards, he feels that his life is illumination and perfection.From:Sri Chinmoy,Beyond Within — A collection of writings 1964-1974, Agni Press, 1975
