This quote essentially means that the purer and more innocent our intentions and actions are, the stronger we become, and the quicker we achieve success. Innocence here stands for honesty, sincerity, truthfulness, and purity of thought. Strength refers to moral strength or integrity.
The idea behind this is when we act with pure intentions without any hidden agendas or deceitful motives, it gives us a kind of moral power that nothing else can provide. This moral power or strength is so potent that it guides us swiftly towards victory or success. It’s because our actions aren’t clouded by guilt or doubt; they are clear-cut and direct which makes our path towards victory faster.
Innocence here doesn’t mean naivety but rather a state of being untainted by negative influences such as greed, anger, lust etc., which often lead to destructive consequences.
Applying this in today’s world can be seen in various scenarios like politics where leaders who uphold values of honesty and transparency tend to gain more trust from their citizens leading to a stronger leadership position. In businesses too ethical companies who value transparency over profit-making often have loyal customers leading to long-term success.
On an individual level in terms of personal development too this idea holds true. When you operate from a place of innocence i.e., you’re honest about your capabilities; you do not resort to unethical means for achieving success etc., it gives you inner peace making your mind less cluttered with guilt/doubt thus making decision-making process efficient leading to swift victories/successes.
However maintaining such innocence requires constant self-awareness & reflection on one’s actions which may be challenging but ultimately leads towards growth both personally & professionally.
