SELF EXPLORATION IS KEY TO ULTIMATE SUCCESS: SAINT KABIR’S PHILOSOPHIES

KEYWORDS 
Self Exploration, Saint Kabir’s Philosophies, Ultimate success

Learning about oneself is a lifelong process. Self-exploration is the process of acquisition of skills, positive and negative traits and beliefs. Everybody, irrespective what he is and who he is, seeks to accomplish ultimate success in life. Therefore, one looks for acceptance, praise, and love from others and society at large. In addition to this, one desires to attain name, fame, and prosperity in one’s life. The perspective of ultimate success varies from one individual to another. But the basic truth is that awareness can only be the vital ingredients of ultimate success. In a large number of cases, people are quite ignorant about what they really want from their lives and even if they know, they are not aware of their own abilities or shortcomings. In this context, to larger extent the present study is highly influenced by the philosophies of Saint Kabir. Therefore, the basic nature of this paper is conceptual. This paper is an attempt to bring understanding on two extreme points (Self exploration and Ultimate success) might be physically but having synonymous nature when one wants to transform one’s life.
