Win or Lose. Its all the same.

Robert Adams : When you awaken something happens that is unexplainable. There are no human words to explain. When you awaken you just understand, not even understand, you know, you feel, and those words are inadequate, you become… divine harmony. You are no longer fooled by person, place or thing. You no longer react.

As an example, someone tells you, "Oh, you won the lotto, you won fifty billion dollars." It's OK. You do not become a slave to that. Someone tells you, "You lost fifty billion dollars." Same thing, same reaction. You do not become a slave to that. 

When Ramana Maharshi was being robbed by robbers his devotees wanted to attack the robbers, and he said, "No, no, no. It's our dharma to be what we are, and it's their dharma to be what they are. We should not interfere in their dharma. Therefore give them what they want." And that's very profound. We are spiritual people. The world is not. Therefore we act in accordance with spiritual principles. What this really means is we, as human beings, become last, not first. That's what Jesus meant when he said, "Those who go first will be last, and those who are last will be first."

You have to develop a great humility. Do not long for anything. Do not long to be famous, or rich, or great. And do not say, "I want to be poor and have nothing," either. They're both wrong. Just be yourself. When you are yourself you will be amazed how the universe takes care of you. It'slike the body with vitaminsand medicines. Your body, you know, is a natural healing factory. It really knows how to heal itself. But when we start taking too many vitamins and not enough sugar (he laughs), when we start taking medicines too much, the body says, "Well, you have made that into your god, so now you've got to depend on it." And then you have to keep gulping vitamins for the rest of your life or you get sick. Really, think about that.
