00:07.2
00:11.8
You are so much more than the challenges you face
00:11.9
00:16.1
I didn't choose to become a guru, you know, I am a guru by accident.
00:16.2
00:17.7
It just happened.
00:17.8
00:23.0
Always think of other ways in which you can sustain your life.
00:31.1
00:35.7
Then this is a time for you to be multitalented. Suppose you choose a career
00:35.8
00:40.6
Say you choose to be an engineer or a businessman
00:40.7
00:45.5
by the time you grow up the character of the career changes, value
00:45.6
00:52.6
for the careers change. So, you must believe in a multitalented aspect of it
00:52.7
00:57.2
and then, be ready to do anything. You should have many feathers to your cap.
00:57.3
01:02.4
If one career is not working out, you should be able to do something else.
01:02.5
01:07.3
Confidence is the secret of your career. If you have the confidence,
01:07.4
01:12.2
you can be successful in any career you choose and get that
01:12.3
01:17.4
confidence by meditation. See if your parents' dreams
01:17.5
01:22.0
are not too inconvenient for you, you may choose it.
01:22.1
01:26.5
But if you find it is completely unacceptable to you
01:26.6
01:32.9
what your parents saying, you can not do it at all, then do what you find it better
01:33.0
01:37.8
You know, usually you want to choose the easiest, right? That's a tendency.
01:37.9
01:42.1
If you are shying away from hard work, I tell you, you won't be successful
01:42.2
01:47.9
in anything you take. Because you will be a rolling stone. But if it is just your taste,
01:48.0
01:52.8
or if it just the matter of not having inclination, energy
01:52.9
01:56.8
aptitude for it, then you choose what you really want.
02:00.7
02:08.3
Actually, I didn't choose to become a guru. You know, I am a guru by accident. It just happened.
02:08.4
02:13.2
But I thought, you know if suppose if I am not able to, what I'd do? I can do anything, I can be a
02:13.3
02:18.1
very good cook, I can be a good caretaker
02:18.2
02:24.0
I can be an artist, I can play, I can do many things.
02:24.1
02:28.9
So we must always have many options as
02:29.0
02:33.8
we grow up. Then you will not worry about your career.
02:33.9
02:38.7
Career is to earn money, earn a status in society. Right? What do you want a career for?
02:38.8
02:44.2
Serve the society or you want to make a living out of it
02:44.3
02:47.6
But then, you can have many options.
02:47.7
02:52.5
You do have many options. Are you willing to take any of those options?
02:52.6
02:56.8
This is where we have to be flexible.
02:56.9
03:01.7
Multitalented engagement is a word
03:01.8
03:06.6
You should have many talents and you should groom yourself
03:06.7
03:09.8
in dexterous talents
03:14.0
03:18.5
Even some job when they appear to be enjoyable in the beginning,
03:18.6
03:22.6
down the line you will stop enjoying. It's like
03:22.7
03:27.5
you know, you like apple pie and you keep eating apple pie on a daily basis
03:27.6
03:32.4
less than a month's time, you will stop liking it. In fact, you'll start
03:32.5
03:37.3
hating apple pie. So, don't try to find joy
03:37.4
03:42.2
in the job. Your job must be an expression of joy.
03:42.3
03:47.9
and joy you find within yourself. Joy is where you find in art,
03:48.0
03:52.4
music, meditation, yoga, all this will bring you joy.
03:52.5
03:57.9
Service will give you joy. If you help others that will give you joy.
03:58.0
04:02.4
But on a career level, you must see which is best
04:02.5
04:08.0
for you, it pays you well and where you need to go, you must do that, that's your dharma.
04:12.1
04:17.3
Keep looking around. You will get some job. Always think of other ways in
04:17.4
04:21.9
which you can sustain your life. For all this you need to believe
04:22.0
04:27.3
you can do it. You will come out of the crisis. And meditation
04:27.4
04:32.0
breathing, knowledge, wisdom - all this will give you that inner strength
04:32.1
04:36.9
that you need at this time. It also will invoke
04:37.0
04:39.3
the intuitive ability inside of you.
04:43.1
04:46.7
There are three things that can make a lazy
04:46.8
04:51.6
person swing into action. Poke their ego, number one, that will bring out
04:51.7
04:56.5
the anger in them, then challenge, the challenge can make
04:56.6
05:01.4
them active. Second is love. Love can draw them.
05:01.5
05:06.3
into activity. Third thing is fear. Tell them if you don't
05:06.4
05:11.2
go with the team, you will be out of the team. You know that fear can also
05:11.3
05:12.8
make them act.
05:16.2
05:21.0
You're so much more than the challenges you face.
05:21.1
05:25.9
You simply have to remember this. I am much bigger, much more powerful
05:26.0
05:30.8
than the challenges that I am facing. With
05:30.9
05:35.7
this one aphorism in your mind, you can just
05:35.8
05:40.6
move through, and you will feel so strong and you will definitely find success.
