00:00Sir, you talked about total change, so I have been hearing Jidur Krishnamurthy also talked
00:09about but this became very clear today and why is it difficult because you said that
00:12we are proud of some things and we and other things we disdain.
00:16So what is the way ahead like for example we are proud of few things about ourselves,
00:23so do we need to look into them and find out the flaws which probably are subtle or what
00:27is…
00:28It's like moving to the next quantum level, the next orbit, fine, I have come to a certain
00:34place, I am proud of the place I have come to, coming to this place has involved its
00:40own struggles and its own share of tribulations, trials and everything else but it's a mixed
00:47bag, that's what duality is, right, always a mixed bag.
00:53So now, all right, this is the mixed bag, now can I just keep the bag aside and begin
00:59something afresh but that's not how the mind wants to operate, it sticks to a few things
01:08in the bag and you put your hand inside the bag for that one or two units, pieces that
01:17you like and what do you get?
01:21Everything that's in the bag, you cannot be partially attached to a few things, you will
01:28get everything in the bag, you have to keep everything aside, if the process has really
01:39given you something valuable, it's not there in the bag, it's there in your heart, if the
01:50whole journey has actually benefited you, it would have benefited you in the internal
01:57sense, not in the sense of what you have gained by way of accomplishments in your hand, no,
02:06so that entire bag can be kept aside and you say, yes, whatsoever was worthy of being
02:17taken from the process till now, I'm 35 years of age now, these 35 years have, if they have
02:22really given me anything worthwhile, it's now there within me, so it's there within
02:30me and I can proceed on the back of that, I'll use that and I'll move to the next quanta,
02:41next orbit.
02:45The bottom line is, it is futile to expect that you can have one thing and not the other,
02:56that is just impossible, have you ever seen a person with half a face, the left cheek
03:09is there, the right is not, if the left is there, the right too will be there, there
03:14might be some difference, fine, but left cannot exist without the right, that has to be understood.
03:27So, acknowledge both, I'm proud of the way I got all that I cherish in my journey so
03:37far and I also see that I got a few other things, now it's time to move on, move on
03:47and this moving on must be a constant process, everyday process, everyday, every morning
03:55I wake up, I keep my old self behind or aside, when I say it's time to move on, move on,
04:06keep moving on, keep moving on, keep putting the old self behind you and take a step further,
04:17you are not obliged to carry your past on your shoulders, right, be it good or bad,
04:29fine, see if there was any worth in what life has given me so far, that worth can anyway
04:36not be taken away, that worth now sits here, so all the other things I can safely just
04:42you know, visarjan, I had this and now mother river, prakriti, you take it back, today is
04:53a new day, today is a new birth, let me try something new, can I become better, can I
05:04move to the next orbit, is it mandatory to repeat the day gone by, is it mandatory, then
05:13why must you repeat the same nonsense every passing day, why do you find yourself obliged
05:20to be the same old self, that's called spiritual entrepreneurship, to start a new life every
05:33morning and to exit it every night, serial entrepreneur, I start a firm every morning
05:44and I quit my own venture every night and then I restart, this is not just poetry, this has practicality.
05:57So, it is like when you talk about the bad things, you still want to get rid of, for example,
06:04you have been late, but then the good things looks, not possible, not possible, it is not possible to
06:10separate it that way, the good things may have been so-called spiritually correct,
06:25if there is real goodness, it stays here, so don't be afraid, you are not anyway leaving
06:36anything behind or you could say I am only leaving the nonsense behind, because all the
06:43goodness I will anyway carry with me, the goodness is the heart itself, so don't be afraid.
06:55Returning to the old self is the worst kind of boredom, what's your favourite movie?
07:13The Godfather.
07:14How many times have you seen it?
07:18Five-six times.
07:22How about the movie called Rohit Rajdhan, The Godfather, you keep watching that movie
07:33every day without ever getting bored, so a point must come when you simply get bored
07:44of yourself, the nonsense again, you look at yourself and say get lost.
07:55Reinventing yourself is very important, in fact, even very external measures like changing
08:06your hairstyle or your wardrobe or whatever, learning a new skill, a new language, whatever,
08:16obviously these are external and therefore a bit trivial, but even they matter, the hell
08:24of life is repetitiveness, same things over and over again, same words, same habits, same
08:34clothes, same places, same, same, just the sameness and why the sameness?
08:45Because there is security in sameness and there is a little bit of happiness in sameness
08:55and because sameness stands proven.
09:10Sometimes one must change things just for the heck of it, you go to a cafe, you order
09:19something, you do not know what it is, that's okay, that's okay, at most you will reject
09:26that item and some 200 rupees will be lost, every time you go there and you say Chola
09:31Kulcha, what is that nonsense, 20,000 times he has ordered Chola Kulcha, still ordering
09:38the same thing, try some new dresses, some new places, moving on is being bored of oneself,
09:59allow yourself to be bored of yourself, I am not saying that real newness lies in getting
10:25new kind of hairstyle or whatever, but I am saying even this is better than rotting
10:34in the same oldness.
10:36Sir, you said just while answering a question that every morning you should have something
10:52new to be done, I mean and something new projects should be taken steps, like then
11:00you explained us that even getting different type of food, different type of clothes or
11:09whatever it is, it has to be something different and you should get bored of yourself, whatever
11:16your routine life is, but number one is what the confusion is coming to me is, it is more
11:25of internal thoughts, internal things has to be changed.
11:29It is not that today I am brushing with Colgate, tomorrow I am having a Neem Datun, I mean
11:36it is not like that, it's just an example.
11:40But how to have, because my thought process is a continuous thought process which is going
11:45on, how to have radical change in that thought process, because whatever will come, will
11:51come from the past only.
11:52What I am suggesting Rohit is that if you are so resistant to change that you cannot
11:59even change your wardrobe, how will you allow anything else in life to change, we categorically
12:06said that all these things we are talking of, food and clothes and hairstyle, these
12:13are external and trivial, these are external and trivial.
12:19The question is if one does not have the courage or the intention to bring even trivial change
12:26in life, how will one bring deeper change in life, that's the question.
12:35I am not saying that deeper change will necessarily follow external change because there are lot
12:40of people who keep changing their hairstyles every second month and yet there is no real
12:49inner change, we know of all that.
12:53But the point to be conveyed is that there has to be a resistance to sameness because
13:02sameness is security, sameness is stagnation, in some sense sameness is what you would classically
13:11call as Tamsikta, is it not?
13:18Even to achieve the same successes over and over again, please tell me how is it not Tamsikta?
13:26So I am saying even to attain the same successes again and again, how is it not Tamsikta?
13:38If Tamsikta is about settling down at a sub-optimal place, so how is it not the same kind of inertia
13:47to repeat your successes, your proven and secure successes again and again?
13:56In business that often happens, right?
13:59If you are an established firm, then you have a formula for success, you know the market,
14:04you already know things in advance that would lead to success, it's not as if you are playing
14:09in the dark, how is that not Tamsikta?
14:16And wherever there is a lot of security, there is death, death in some sense is the
14:24final security, is it not?
14:27Guaranteed, assured, nothing at risk there, nothing in terms of probability is there.
14:36So it is the final assurance, somebody asks you, will there be death?
14:41You say the probability is 1.00, absolute certainty.
14:48So if you are looking for even an assured kind of formulaic success, that is just the
14:57antithesis of life.
15:04It is better to have experimental failures and setbacks rather than having assured successes.
15:18Try this thing out, do that, do this, what I see Sanjitji and you know I'm not that kind
15:26of a seer or something, but just with my mortal eyes what I can see on the screen is
15:37what you call as NUI, a sense of boredom, there is not much vigour that I see and if
15:55that great destination is to be achieved, that great destination called Atma or liberation,
16:02then one requires a lot of energy.
16:06You cannot travel all the way without having the requisite energy.
16:13How can you lose energy in the middle of the process?
16:20The face must be radiating with an eagerness, the eagerness to go all the way, the eagerness
16:29to change tracks when and where needed.
16:43I repeat, assured success is another name for failure.
16:49I do agree.
16:53So even if it is coming very easily to you, reject it.
17:01If you are established in one kind of game and you know very well now the tricks of the
17:05game, stop playing that game.
17:11What fun is there anymore?
17:19So going to unknown territory, unknown terrain and being in two different maps.
17:27Not just unknown, higher and unknown.
17:36Unknown could also mean doing, you know, now going and joining the Mafioso in Italy.
17:44That too is something unknown to you.
17:46So not just unknown, higher and unknown.
17:55And in that there will be fear and a lot of wonderment, a feeling of insecurity.
18:05But that's what keeps one young, no?
18:17Definitely sir, I will act upon it.
18:19There may not be a radiation of energies, but definitely I know myself, I have a lot
18:25of energy towards achieving this goal.
18:28And I'm glad you will and all my best wishes.
18:34And the face has already begun to radiate.
