A Plan and a Resolution for the New Year _ Sadhguru – Transcript

Sadhguru: Supposed to be the last day of the calender year. So this end of the year we need some measure otherwise if there was no count of New Years and some of you counting your birthdays. I don’t trust you on the birthdays because you may keep on counting eighteen eighteen eighteen eighteen (Laughter). At least you say this is going to be 2015 I’m sure you’re not going to say 2014 2014 next year no (Laughs). So we will stick to the New Year. The idea of counting time is because we need some measure we need some kind of milestone just to know “Are we going forward or backward in our lives.” I want you to look 2014 you as a human being not your business not your career not other things those things matter but you take care of that but as a human being have you moved forward or backward? This is something that you have to evaluate today you must evaluate every night but if you are a lousy accountant of life at least once a year you must evaluate. If you evaluate once a decade it’ll be too late believe me you can’t fix it. Once a day once a week once a month if you are evaluating you will be able to take corrective measures in one’s life. At least once a year if you are evaluating “Have I moved forward as a human being or have I become backward?” Simple way of checking this is 2013 how I was 2014 am I a little more joyful human being am I little more relaxed am I little more compassionate am I little more loving you just have to check. Don’t Don’t go by your family’s judgment because there may be many local prejudices you know (Laughs) we don’t know vested interests. Family neighbors friends these are all vested interests. If you don’t do what they think you should do they will think you have fallen (Laughs). Thirty-three years ago everybody thought I have fallen and lost my mind okay? Today the same people clap their hands that’s different because that’s for a different reason but I’m saying even if you’ve taken up positive steps somebody else may be saying something. So I don’t want somebody else’s evaluation of who you are. Within yourself sincerely you look and see have you moved forward as a human being? Because you are one year closer to your grave tch are you going to at least die as a better human being if not live (Laughs)? Suppose you and me die tomorrow morning are we dying as a little better human beings than what we were a year ago this is an important question. If we live wonderful! Suppose we die there’s no regret (Laughs). Very important or no? Hmm? Participants: Yes. Sadhguru: If we live as better human beings wonderful for us wonderful for everybody around us. Suppose we die at least there is no regret what a horrible creature I am and I’m dying and everybody will be glad that’s different (Laughter) So if you are going to make people around you joyful and relieved only when you die tch that’s (Laughs) that’s not a good way to live. They are joyful because of your presence is good. They are joyful because you’re absent is not a good thing that’s important. It’s important to check this and the coming year you must have a plan how to become a better human being than the way I was in 2014. I want you to have a clear cut plan “How am I going to be a better human being what is my plan.” You must have a plan of your own. We can help you with a GPS (Laughter) how to negotiate your plan but you must have a plan. Don’t wait for cosmic geometry to come together. Cosmic geometry is in a wonderful place otherwise it would have crashed. Only because cosmic geometry is perfect it is going on isn’t it? Did you see any extra noises loud noises coming up today morning when the sun was coming up? Friction – kut kut kut kut kut kut kut (Gestures) it came up like that like a old machine (Laughter)? Very smoothly it came up isn’t it? Hmm? Absolutely smooth you didn’t even notice it (Laughter) so smoothly it came up. So the cosmic geometry is going perfect. You don’t worry about where the stars are what is the arrangement is it okay not okay it’s perfect. It is you are you going to ride it or are you going to be crushed by it that’s a question. So you must have a clear cut plan for 2015 “How am I going to be a better human being within myself.” What happens around you is a consequence of the way the world is running and the way we conduct things many things. Consequences are okay but how we are is very important because this is what determines the quality of who we are. What happens – we have little more little less this happens that happens that is not the quality of your life that is just the content of your life. Content should not decide the quality it is always the context which decides the quality of one’s life. So the coming year the plan tch must be good a workable plan. Hmm? I want you to be an ambitious plan not a stupid silly tiny little plan a very ambitious plan “by the end of this year I must be in this kind of a state.” Hmm? Time to plan the coming year we have a clear cut plan and we work through the plan a deliverable plan an ambitious one not a small one. I want all of you to evolve a plan like that if necessary write it down “This is how I’m going to be in the coming year” whatever is your idea of being better human being. You don’t have to go by my prescriptions but if you’re better you must be functioning within yourself at least with less friction less struggle less turmoil. Yes? That’s an indication that you’re better.
