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, so what is the way ahead
00:18like for example, we are proud of few things about ourselves, so do we need to look into
00:23them and find out the flaws which probably are subtle or what is…
00:28It's like moving to the next quantum level, the next orbit, fine, I have come to a certain place,
00:36I am proud of the place I have come to, coming to this place has involved its own struggles
00:42and its own share of tribulations, trials and everything else but it's a mixed bag,
00:48that's what duality is, right, always a mixed bag, so now, all right, this is the mixed bag,
00:55now can I just keep the bag aside and begin something afresh
01:02but that's not how the mind wants to operate, it sticks to a few things in the bag
01:10and you put your hand inside the bag for that one or two units, pieces that you like
01:19and what do you get? Everything that's in the bag, you cannot be partially
01:27attached to a few things, you will get everything in the bag,
01:32you have to keep everything aside, if the process has really given you
01:41something valuable, it's not there in the bag,
01:44it's there in your heart, if the whole journey has actually benefited you,
01:54it would have benefited you in the internal sense, not in the sense of what you
02:01have gained by way of accomplishments in your hand, no, so that entire bag can be kept aside
02:09and you say, yes, whatsoever was worthy of being taken from the process till now,
02:19I'm 35 years of age now, these 35 years have, if they have really given me anything worthwhile,
02:25it's now there within me, so it's there within me and I can proceed on the back of that,
02:34I'll use that and I'll move to the next quanta, next 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.
03:02Have you ever seen a person with half a face?
03:08The left cheek is there, the right is not, if the left is there, the right too will be there,
03:14there might be some difference, fine, but left cannot exist without the right, that has to be
03:19understood. So, acknowledge both, acknowledge both, I'm proud of the way I got all that
03:35I cherish in my journey so far and I also see that I got a few other things, now it's time to
03:43move on, move on and this moving on must be a constant process, everyday process, every day,
03:54every morning I wake up, I keep my old self behind or aside, when I say it's time to move on,
04:03move on, keep moving on, keep moving on, keep putting the old self behind you and take a step
04:15further, you're not obliged to carry your past on your shoulders, right?
04:21Be it good or bad, be it good or bad, fine, see if there was any worth in what life has given me
04:33so far, that worth can anyway not be taken away, that worth now sits here, so all the other things
04:41I can safely just, you know, visarjan, I had this and now mother river, prakriti, you take it back,
04:53today is a new day, today is a new birth,
04:59let me try something new, can I become better, can I move to the next orbit,
05:06is it mandatory to repeat the day gone by, is it mandatory, then why must you repeat the same
05:14nonsense every passing day, why do you find yourself obliged to be the same old self,
05:27that's called spiritual entrepreneurship, to start a new life every morning,
05:35and to exit it every night,
05:40serial entrepreneur, I start a firm every morning and I quit my own venture every night,
05:48and then I restart, this is not just poetry, this has practicality.
05:59So, it is like when you talk about the bad things, you still want to get rid of,
06:03for example, you have been late, but then the good things looks not possible,
06:07not possible, it is not possible to separate it that way.
06:22The good things may have been so-called spiritually correct, then
06:27if 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.
06:50Sticking to the old self is the worst kind of boredom.
07:06What's your favorite movie? The Godfather. How many times have you seen it?
07:12The Godfather. How many times have you seen it?
07:18Five, six times. Five, six times. How about the movie called Rohit Rajdhan?
07:27The Raazfather. You keep watching that movie every day without ever getting bored.
07:36So, a point must come when you simply get bored of yourself,
07:44the nonsense again, you look at yourself and say, get lost.
07:55Reinventing yourself is very important.
07:57In fact, even very external measures like changing your hairstyle or your wardrobe or whatever,
08:13learning a new skill, a new language, whatever,
08:16obviously these are external and therefore a bit trivial, but even they matter.
08:21The hell of life is repetitiveness.
08:27Same things over and over again, same words, same habits, same clothes, same places, same, same, just the sameness.
08:41And why the sameness? Because there is security in sameness.
08:44Because there is security in sameness.
08:49And there is a little bit of happiness in sameness.
08:54And because sameness stands proven.
08:56Sometimes one must change things just for the heck of it.
09:17You go to a cafe, you order something, you do not know what it is, that's okay.
09:22That's okay. At most you will reject that item and some 200 rupees will be lost.
09:27Every time you go there and you say Chola Kulcha, what is that nonsense?
09:3320,000 times he has ordered Chola Kulcha and still ordering the same thing.
09:39Try some new dresses, some new places.
09:52Moving on is being bored of oneself.
09:59Allow yourself to be bored of yourself.
10:01I am not saying that real newness lies in getting a new kind of hairstyle or whatever.
10:22But I am saying even this is better than rotting in the same oldness.
10:40Sir, 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 a step.
11:00Like then you explained us that even getting different type of food,
11:08different type of clothes or whatever it is, it has to be something different and you
11:12should get bored of yourself, whatever his routine life is. But number one is what the
11:20confusion is coming to me is, it is more of internal thoughts, internal things has to be
11:28changed. It is not that today I am brushing with Colgate, tomorrow I am having a Neem Datun.
11:35I mean, it is not like that. It's just an example. So, but how to have because my thought
11:42process is a continuous thought process which is going on. How to have radical change in that
11:48thought process? Because whatever will come will come from the past only. What I am suggesting
11:55Rohit is that if you are so resistant to change that you cannot even change your wardrobe,
12:02how will you allow anything else in life to change? We categorically said that all these
12:08things we are talking of food and clothes and hairstyle, these are external and trivial.
12:16These are external and trivial. The question is if one does not have the courage or the intention
12:24to bring even trivial change in life, how will one bring deeper change in life?
12:32That's the question. I am not saying that deeper change will necessarily follow external change
12:39because there are a lot of people who keep changing their hairstyles every second month
12:48and yet there is no real inner change. We know of all that.
12:53But the point to be conveyed is that there has to be a resistance to sameness
13:01because sameness is security. Sameness is stagnation.
13:07In some sense, sameness is what you would classically call as Tamsikta.
13:13Is it not? Even to achieve the same successes over and over again, please tell me, how is it not Tamsikta?
13:24So I am saying even to attain the same successes again and again, how is it not Tamsikta?
13:35How is it not Tamsikta?
13:38If Tamsikta is about settling down at a sub-optimal place,
13:45so how is it not the same kind of inertia to repeat your successes, your proven and
13:53secure successes again and again? In business that often happens, right? If you are an established
14:00firm, then you have a formula for success. You know the market. You already know things in advance
14:05that would lead to success. It's not as if you are playing in the dark. How is that not Tamsikta?
14:15And wherever there is a lot of security, there is death. Death in some sense is the final security.
14:25Is it not? Guaranteed, 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? You say the probability is
14:421.00. Absolute certainty. So if you are looking for even an assured kind of formulaic success,
14:55that is just the antithesis of life. So it is better to have experimental failures
15:10and setbacks rather than having assured successes.
15:15Try this thing out. Do that. Do this. What I see, Sanjitji, and you know, I'm not that kind of
15:25seer or something, but just with my mortal eyes, what I can see on the screen is what you call as NUI.
15:36What you call as NUI. A sense of boredom.
15:47There is not much vigor that I see.
15:55And if that great destination is to be achieved,
15:59that great destination called Atma or liberation, then one requires a lot of energy.
16:06You cannot travel all the way without having the requisite energy.
16:12How can you lose energy in the middle of the process?
16:20Your face must be radiating with an eagerness.
16:27The eagerness to go all the way. The eagerness to change tracks when and where needed.
16:36I repeat, assured success is another name for failure.
16:51I do agree. So 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 game,
17:06stop playing that game.
17:10What fun is there anymore?
17:19So going to an unknown territory, unknown terrain and being in...
17:25Not just unknown. Higher and unknown.
17:31Unknown could also mean doing, you know, now going and joining the mafioso in Italy.
17:39That too is something unknown to you. So not just unknown, higher and unknown.
17:51And in that there will be fear and a lot of wonderment.
17:59And a lot of wonderment, a feeling of insecurity, but that's what keeps one young, you know.
18:16Definitely sir, I will act upon it. There may not be a radiation of energy,
18:22but definitely I know myself, I have a lot of energy towards achieving this goal.
18:27And I will. I'm glad you will and all my best wishes.
18:33And the face has already begun to radiate.
18:57you
