Sadhguru: It's not even necessary for you to think you're going to be a champion.
It's not about being a champion.
It's about just playing well.
Desire will set the direction
but desire will not make you win.
Winning needs competence.
Competence doesn't drop from the sky.
For every successful person,
there is a painful story.
Painful does not mean you suffered,
painful means there is a lot of things.
Competence is built.
Well, some natural skills maybe there,
but it has to be worked at minutely.
To reach somewhere there is a meticulous process.
You have to pay attention to little, little things about yourself
that nobody even cares to notice in their life.

Questioner: By the very nature of our job,
as military person in general and
as a fighter pilot in particular,
we have to engage in the acts
that might cause harm to other beings.
How are we connected as individuals to the karma of that act?
Sadhguru: So all you have to see is just this, every act that we do,
is it in the larger interest of people
or is it for personal pleasure we are doing it?
Everything that we do is it of some significant consequence to everybody,
or are you going out there to fly and
just enjoy shooting people?
If you settle this one thing,
you don't have to worry
what you're doing
because you do
what is needed in a given situation,
not what your whim…
not by your whim,
but simply by what is needed.
If you are doing just what is needed for the larger well-being, well, it's a good karma
because your intent.
You must understand,
karma is not determined by the action
but by the volition, what intent.
Your intent is,
you are fighting for the well-being of the nation.

Sadhguru: We are at the certain clasp
In the education field
because a time is coming
when our learning will not mean anything.
Our knowledge – accumulation of information will not mean anything
because machines can learn faster than you, and
deliver faster than you, and more accurately.
It's important that we shift education
from loading up information in our heads,
to exploring the dimension of
what it means to be human.
We call you as a “human being.”
Why this is so is,
you are supposed to know how to be, tch, tch.
If you knew how to be,
would you choose the highest level of pleasantness,
or varieties of unpleasantness,
for yourself, I'm saying?
What you want for yourself is very clear
– you want the highest level of pleasantness.
So pleasantness is not a goal by itself.
It is an ambience
that is necessary within you,
if what you call as a human being has to unfold.

Sadhguru: Everybody is afraid today – wherever I go (Laughs),
they're calling me for
all kinds of artificial intelligence conferences
in the world.
And their fear is,
“It will take away our jobs,
it will dominate our lives,
it will take over the world!”
I said, “Yes,
if you remain as stupid as you are, it will!
For sure it will” (Laughter/Applause).
Because right now,
your own intellect has taken over your life and destroying you.
Make you suffer for nothing.
If I leave you alone in a room, all by yourself,
if you're capable of being miserable,
this means
you're in bad company, isn't it?
Hello (Laughs)?
If I'm with you,
and you suffered, maybe it's me.
But you're sitting alone and suffering.
This means you're in bad company, isn't it?
You have to fix that one thing.
That this one (Referring to oneself) is never bad company.
This is the best company you have (Applause).

Sadhguru: We're always trying to upgrade our activity without upgrading ourselves.
You want to race in Formula 1 track,
but you have a Maruti 800.
It’s a wonderful car to go to your office.
But if you get it onto the F1 track,
four wheels will fly in four different directions.
So that's all that's happening to them
– they're aspiring for something
for which they have not upgraded themselves.
Now, the activity that they really want to do is freaking the hell out of them.
The success is freaking them, all right?
I can understand if failure is freaking you.
But in this world, I want you to understand,
successful people are the most freaked out people.
This you need an upgrade of yourself.
Your phone is getting upgraded, even without your permission.
Hello (Laughs)?
Everything is being upgraded.
What about you?
