What is the definition of success?

Success is the practice of doing good, pious work for the upliftment of mankind. Serving humanity is the ultimate success—this is above material achievements and personal gains.

What role has failure played in your journey to success?

All great people face failures in life. Failure is the first step toward success, if you truly understand it. Generally, when you don't get what you desire or deserve, you may feel it is failure. But if you work selflessly and follow the principle of “Work is Worship,” then failure loses its sting. Life is a journey of ups and downs, and both success and failure need to be observed with balance. Failure, too, becomes a path toward success—it is all about perception.
