00:00When you dedicate a lot of personal time towards this goal of excellence, you also lose out on a lot
00:06of social time, like time for you to hang out with friends and have fun. So how would you ideally
00:13be able to balance it? Because until now, every time I've achieved my excellence in anything, it's always been by
00:20me shutting the door and just sitting all alone in my room or wherever and just working.
00:26You know, that is a concept that these two are mutually exclusive things. Why can't you have friends who have
00:33fun with books? So you are there and the friend is there and both of them are, both of you
00:39are hanging out with books. But the, no.
00:47The problem is an internal fragmentation. Do you want to have a flight and a train ticket and balance the
00:54two? If you want to reach your destination, you need to have only one. And if you have two, then
01:00there is a problem. You will reach nowhere.
01:02Have the right flight for the right destination and have your friend in the flight. Nothing of balance would work
01:11here. Drop this word balance from your mind totally.
01:16Joy lies in absolute immersion, not in balancing. Joy lies in totality, not in incompleteness. And all forms of balancing
01:25are in completeness, are they not?
01:27Huh? 50% this, 50% that. Or 90% this, 90% that. Be it 50 or 90, both
01:33are incomplete.
01:35Whereas joy lies in absolute 100%. Have one central theme in life and everything else should be around that theme.
01:44You cannot have two themes in life and balance them. Okay?
