after clearing her CA exam in 2018 Twinkle
Jain is now a widely followed content creator
who having worked as a finance professional
now spreads financial literacy aiming to make
everyone their own CA we welcome you to the
Art of Living International Center Twinkle
Gurudev she would like to ask you a couple of
questions yeah go ahead
pranam Gurudev so one of my one of the questions
that I would want to ask you is when does one
feel content? when does one become content
in life? because content in life because um I
have there are there have been lot of things that
I wanted in life I've had a lot of goals and I've
worked so hard for them and I wanted them
very badly but then when I achieved them I was
on to the next thing I didn't take time to celebrate
them I didn't feel like okay this is it so when does
one become content in their life?
see you feel hungry if you have done good
workout then you will have food and then you
feel the contentment right? suppose you like ice
cream when you have a scoop of ice cream
you know what is contentment is after that
you feel yeah no more now for today
okay and then you want to have it tomorrow
okay next day you will have like that you know
time will teach you contentment naturally
because the ability to enjoy by our senses
are limited
you know
but the mind's craving is unlimited
and if we just follow the cravings
then of course we start regretting at some point
or other but if you have intention to do something
more better there's nothing wrong about it
you don't have to feel guilty about it but you
rightly said you should feel content for today
and enjoy that and with that you can also plan
for something bigger and a point comes in life
when you feel yes I have
had everything now I want to contribute
there are two type of contentment one is
you have something and you feel content
another is when you contribute when you
give share
and you care then that is another type of joy
that comes to you that is a superior joy
thank you so much Gurudev I would
want to ask you the other question
um so basically I'm a very short tempered
person and there have been times that I get
angry and later I of course I know that whatever
however I reacted was wrong and I should not
be doing that so but then I do that again when
the time comes so though I know that it's wrong
I still do it because it's a habit so how can I
control it? how can I uh reduce it down?
first of all you have to remove this label that you
put on yourself I am an angry person you are not
see no child has come onto this planet
being an angry and uh agitated person no
the center of your existence your being is all
positivity you are akin to as the structure of an
atom you know if you have studied physics you
know how is an atom? atomic structure?
the center is positive protons and neutron
the electrons are only in the circumference
so similarly you get upset you get angry
you get dejected sometimes you feel sad
these emotions come in life
now don't think oh these are all mine and I am
like that yeah that's the first step second is
you really want to get out of it do pranayama
meditation kriya and meditation
when you do kriya when you do meditation
when your cells in the body get so attuned to
keep the calmness in spite of all turbulence
around you you are able to bring up the humor
inside of you
you see? that is very important and in spite of
all that say suppose one day you get angry
so what? it's okay to get angry but not on a
regular basis and not on on things which are
trivial my advice is to make your smile
cheaper and your anger expensive
oh thank you so much Gurudev I would want
to ask you one more question um so there are
every day in life I have to make certain decisions
but because I'm not able to make them quickly a
lot of time goes I waste a lot of time behind
thinking overthinking about if I should do this
or not and uh that time I could have utilized
it somewhere else so how can one make
decisions quickly but not uh I don't want to
botch anything up so
how do I make wise decisions quickly?
hahaha yeah this hurry what is the hurry
for you? why you have to hurry everything?
you know when you are in a hurry to make a
decision it always you always end up regretting
number one second is at the same time if you
are very slack in your decision you don't take it
at all take any decision at all for days together
that's also no good middle path
middle path is what is necessary
in that you know
have confidence yeah it will happen
many times you take a decision but when you
at the last minute you find something else is
much better than what I have decided
so go by your gut feeling
huh this one thing second is you know
there is time for everything
you plant a mango seed today you can't expect
then it to get fruits tomorrow
yeah but you put Moong Dal
next two days you will get the sprouts
so things happen by their own
nature and time you put your effort and relax
that's very important
thank you so much Gurudev
Gurudev in our courses and programs there is a
bucket for botherations
and another one for gratitude
can you please tell us which bucket gets filled faster?
also don't you feel tired of taking so many
botherations most of which are the same
problem essentially? no no no no do you look
do I look bothered? with all these
botherations from around the world? no
they do both get filled yes more gratitude
than the problems these days yeah
Gurudev when I come to the ashram I see all
these beautiful men and women and I start
feeling they are so much better looking than me
how do I not let this get to me?
I think you are not giving enough smile
to yourself do one thing every day when you
wake up in the morning look at the mirror and
give a smile to yourself
and meditate meditation is the secret
for a permanent smile from within yeah
Gurudev somehow I'm not able to have good
close friends in my life
what am I doing incorrectly?
well you know see what is that you are doing
what is that you do which repels
everyone around you
you would have learned you know isn't it?
number one if you are thinking what I will get
from this person and that person
nobody want to be your friend
if you go with the spirit of how I can make
this other person my friend's life richer
then nobody will reject you
got it? so your heart is in the right place
if it's clean clarity in mind purity in heart
you will see your whole vibrations become
so positive and nobody will reject you
Gurudev the labs of University of Cambridge
and Caltech have produced a synthetic human
baby without the need for sperms and eggs
how can a soul enter in a synthetic human body?
it is really mind-boggling oh it should be possible
we'll look into that
soul is present so you know soul is like
the field of energy
vibrations so our mind is a vibration
soul is vibration if they could do something
synthetic I need to look into it then I will get back
then they have proved what the ancient
people said they said even our intellect our
Buddhi, Mann
Mann, Buddhi, Chitta, Ahankar all this is part of
material world they said it's all part of matter
if Buddhi is part of matter then there must be
possibility to do that 36 different principles
have been counted
the first principle is Earth element
the last is Shiva
so in between there is mind intellect time space
all this is there
so mind intellect memory ego is all considered
a part of Prakruti and Prakruti if you can create
water if you can create air you can create
fire it should be possible to create mind also
related question Gurudev I'm expecting my first
child what should I do and not do during my
pregnancy to have a divine child? is it still
possible or is it too late?
every child is a divine child only
every child is a divine child
don't watch all these violent movies
or thrill movies where it can
you can get some sort of shock
you know where you get some sort of shocks
don't watch those movies watch um something
pleasant listen to music listen to mantras
every day and healthy food all that huh
and some yoga too some yoga
Gurudev is it possible for someone to have
no purpose in life but to still be alive?
yeah God wants you to be alive that's all
you don't have a purpose God has a purpose
to put you here and so listen to that okay
drop this I and my purpose and relax and do
whatever good you can do to
everybody around you
Gurudev I feel so much gratitude
why didn't you come earlier in my life?
well
you have come now and see that others also
don't regret it in future okay
