00:00 What do you mean, sir?
00:02 This is Ankit Tiwari from NIT Ghatla. I am pursuing a Masters in NIT Ghatla.
00:08 Sir, I have a question that if we are preparing for something, in general I am asking, if we are preparing for something,
00:15 once we have told that we have to not worry about results, ultimately I also think that we should not worry about results.
00:23 But ultimately I have that in mind that if I am doing something, that I should come out with that result.
00:30 I also think that I should not worry about results, but at the back of my mind, I have that what the result will be.
00:37 So how to be cool, simple that how to be cool. I want to be cool that I don't want to worry about results.
00:45 But that result is ultimately fearing me that what will be the result.
00:51 The result that you think of is a programmed concept.
01:02 Yes, sir.
01:04 Its definition can be changed. Its definition can be changed. It is like this you see.
01:11 Yes, sir.
01:13 We all keep looking towards the 30th of the month. Let's say, let's say.
01:22 And why do we keep looking towards 30th of the month? Because the paycheck arrives on the 30th. Right?
01:30 Okay, sir. Yes, sir.
01:32 Now the arrival of the paycheck on the 30th makes the 30th so important.
01:40 It's not that the 30th is by itself important. What makes the 30th important is that the paycheck arrives on the 30th.
01:52 All right. We start thinking as if 30th is a special date. As if 30th carries an intrinsic value.
02:02 Challenge that. How? Start paying yourself every day.
02:10 Start paying yourself every day. Now is the 30th important anymore?
02:17 Let's say every day evening you get paid. On the first you get paid for what you have done on the first at right at 6 p.m.
02:30 Till 6 p.m. you worked and you got it. Second p.m. you worked till 6 p.m. and you got paid.
02:36 And that's the way it happens throughout the month. Now the 30th is no more important.
02:41 Are you getting it? Change the definition of result. Tell yourself that success consists of excelling at every point in the process.
02:53 So, there are these 30 points in the process. Now I am not worried about merely the 30th, the last point.
03:02 There are 30 points in the process. Now I am not worried about merely the last point.
03:10 Success consists of excelling at the first point, at the second point, at the third point.
03:18 Just as you can be paid on the first, on the second, on the third, you can be paid continuously.
03:23 Why should you accumulate everything and make the 30th a big date?
03:32 Tell yourself my success is not determined by what happens on the last date at the last step.
03:41 My success is determined daily. If I did well today, I have succeeded. I have succeeded and I can celebrate.
03:52 Or rather the celebration lies in doing well itself. I don't even need to separately celebrate.
04:00 You have to reprogram yourself or rather deprogram because we have been trained by our biology and the society to think only of the end point, to think only of the 30th.
04:15 You will have to educate yourself to think of the entire chain because everything is as important as the last point.
04:27 And then it will be far better for you. Obviously, you will then need supporting circumstances as well
04:33 because if there are people around you who just keep asking of what happens at the last point,
04:38 then you too will feel as if only the last thing is the most important.
04:43 The last thing is not the most important thing. The last thing does not even exist, I dare say.
04:50 All that exists is here right now where you have the capacity to change things.
05:03 Can you decide what happens on the 30th? No, but you can decide what happens today and today is what? 22nd.
05:12 So, the 22nd is where your success and failure lies. But you keep thinking of the 30th, whereas everything is being decided on the 22nd.
05:26 And everything will again be decided on the 23rd and then on 24th and then on 25th.
05:33 So, educate yourself to think this way or rather not think in terms of just the final milestone.
05:52 Sir, I want to ask if I have listened to a video, if I am not wrong, I have listened to a video that I have listened to one of the which hits me a lot.
06:01 Sir, can I speak in Hindi if you don't mind? It would be good for me to express my feelings. It's my request to you.
06:08 Go ahead, go ahead.
06:10 You said that when you spend a hundred rupees, you think not once but 50 times.
06:20 I have listened to you continuously, that's why I am asking you.
06:24 You said that when you spend a hundred rupees, you think not once but 50 times.
06:31 Sir, this is our life. We create our understanding that we are giving one year in preparation or two years, whatever it is.
06:41 Now, sir, when you are saying that we can think a thousand times when we spend a hundred rupees, then we are giving two years.
06:50 Maybe we can think where these two years can impact us.
06:54 But these two years are the important moments of our life and where we can reach.
07:00 But we should not think about the result. We know that we should not think because it affects our preparation.
07:07 Obviously, today we are doing IIT JEE or GATE or ISC, it affects our preparation.
07:16 But ultimately, the result is coming to our mind again and again.
07:21 And you are talking about a hundred rupees.
07:23 I agree that you said that we think about a hundred rupees, but the point is that we are investing our entire life's earnings there.
07:33 And the thing is that we are investing two years, but as a middle class family, our parents are investing their entire life's earnings.
07:41 And then the same thing is that how can we not think, it is coming to our mind again and again.
07:47 As you said, don't think about it, you said that today see what you are doing today or what you are doing tomorrow.
07:55 I totally agree with that. I have no doubt that we should not make big goals, we should make small goals.
08:04 I truly agree with that.
08:07 No, I did not say that. Listen, listen, listen, listen, he is not saying that don't make big goals and make small goals.
08:18 That is not the point. The point is that the future does not come within your power.
08:26 The future is just a principle, the future is just an imagination.
08:37 You make a big goal like a mountain, but that mountain is not within your power.
08:45 Within your power, there is only that hammer that you are using now.
08:51 The mountain is a big imagination. So you make a mountain, you have to climb it.
09:01 Imagine that you have to climb a mountain and its peak is very far.
09:07 Now where do you want to keep your eyes? It is a very high mountain and it is a steep climb.
09:14 Where do you want to keep your eyes? On the peak or where you are going to put your feet?
09:21 Hmm, tell me.
09:29 Sir, but until we keep our eyes on the peak, it is not meaningful to put our feet on the ground.
09:38 If you want to reach the peak, then maybe according to me…
09:42 Ask anyone who has climbed the peak, where do you want to keep your eyes?
09:55 In reality, those who are serious about climbing the peak, they never look at the peak.
10:02 And those who look at the peak, they never reach the peak in their imagination.
10:13 Those who want to reach the peak, their eyes are right under their feet.
10:19 Where do I want to put my feet?
10:21 Those who have their eyes on the peak, they can sing a good poem, but they will never reach the peak.
10:33 The next moment, they will fall down in the opposite direction of the peak.
10:44 Sir, I am a little bit confused. When we make an aim and then target,
10:54 You have made it, now what do you want to do? You want to keep thinking about it?
10:59 No, I don't want to think about it.
11:03 So you have made it and left it.
11:06 You have made it, now leave it and work.
11:08 I have not left it.
11:10 Leaving it means that you have made it and left it.
11:16 You have made it and left it.
11:20 You have made it and left it. Now what do you want to do?
11:24 You have made it, now what do you want to do? You want to work.
11:26 And where will you work?
11:28 Yes sir, like you said, I have made an aim.
11:33 I have made an aim that I want to pass out IAS next year.
11:37 I don't give any tension about the result. This is my perspective of thinking.
11:41 I don't give any tension. Whether it will be done or not, that is the thing.
11:45 Whether it will be done or not, many people do preparation.
11:47 If it is not done, then it is fine.
11:49 But I am worrying about my process.
11:51 I am doing a very good job in that process.
11:54 I am doing what I am 100% sure about.
11:56 But ultimately, at the back of the mind, many people are studying.
12:01 Many people have given their whole life preparation there.
12:06 They have given their whole life preparation there.
12:08 But sir, at the back of the mind, the result is coming.
12:11 It is coming because you are not serious about your aim.
12:21 You are not honest about that aim.
12:23 Otherwise, how would you have kept the place in the back of the mind,
12:26 secretly, that I will keep thinking something else here.
12:30 You are saying that you have to give some test.
12:33 You have to give a test of mathematics.
12:35 Now, there is a question of mathematics in front of you.
12:37 So, the question of mathematics should be running in the whole mind.
12:40 Half of your mind is running on your future.
12:42 So, the question of mathematics will not be solved.
12:44 And you will never get what you want in the future.
12:47 Sir, but sir, I believe that, as you said,
12:53 because my future is also connected to the question of mathematics.
12:56 Brother, the future is an imagination.
12:59 If it comes, then keep it.
13:01 What can I do in that?
13:03 If you are telling me the solution, then the solution is with you.
13:06 What can I do in that?
13:08 If it comes, then let it come. Keep it.
13:11 Sir, I am saying the same thing.
13:13 I mean, I am saying the same thing. How can I stay away from it?
13:16 I have already told you, with honesty.
13:18 If you are honest about what you want, then you will stop thinking about it.
13:23 Now, this thing is not entering the mind easily.
13:26 If you want what you want with honesty,
13:29 then you will stop thinking about it.
13:31 And if you don't want what you want with honesty,
13:36 then you will think more about it and work less.
13:39 You will keep enjoying thinking.
13:43 Because there is a lot of joy in thinking.
13:46 You are thinking, it is going on.
13:48 Who will work? Think.
13:50 Yes, sir.
13:59 You understood it so easily.
14:02 No, sir. I didn't understand it so easily.
14:07 But, okay. I will try. I will try.
14:09 Sir, you told me that I can learn. That's the thing.
14:12 Okay.
14:14 But I will learn. Thank you very much for your time.
14:19 Thank you very much, sir.
14:20 Acharya ji, we have now come to the end of the first part of today's session.
14:34 I will request Shashi to make the closing address, please.
14:39 Shashi, can you switch on your video, please?
14:46 Am I audible, sir?
14:56 Yes, please go ahead, Shashi.
14:58 Yes, sir.
15:00 So, thank you Acharya ji for giving us your valuable time and effort.
15:07 It was a very fruitful session and we learned a lot.
15:11 So, I hope in future we can have this opportunity once again.
15:14 So, thanks once again for providing us this wonderful opportunity.
15:18 Thank you so much, sir.
15:20 Thank you.
15:22 Thank you, sir.
