The Unending Race for Scores: Does Clearing the Cutoff Guarantee True Peace?
All the stress over NEET PG 2026, from checking the answer key to calculating cutoff, and waiting for the final results card to appear in front of thousands of doctors, is pure human desire for worldly validation. These doctors study day and night for long years, thinking that clearing this exam will bring them peace of mind.
But the question is, does getting a coveted rank ensure that life has no more problems? We study to achieve a good position in society, get a good job, and climb up the corporate ladder. But why does the human mind always feel dissatisfied even at the topmost post? If success and money bring security, why does the fear of death and failure accompany us at every step? Why do anxieties, worries, and the frailty of human life continue to bother us? This makes one think if all our hard work and energy are being wasted on a passing exam when the real goal of life is getting neglected.
Jagatguru Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj educates us that human birth is not for fighting for temporary ranks and positions in the world of mortals. It is to liberate ourselves from the invisible karmic cycle and attain the ultimate goal of salvation. Materialistic achievements can give us only temporary satisfaction in this mortal world. Only the scripture based worship as guided by a Complete Saint can take us to the eternal world, free from the shackles of birth-death.
