Whenever we go wrong, whenever there is an unnatural thing
whenever there is that which is detrimental to our interest,
the heart will pump heavier and faster
When that happens, take it as a red signal, a red flag.
Hello, hello
Hello. His question is this:
What should take higher priority
planning multiple scenarios of 2021 or focusing just to stay afloat now?
What priorities can we take now, at this stage, and going forward?
To me, the number one priority is how to remain meditative.
When I remain disturbed, distracted, anxious, stressed, I fail to make the right decisions.
When I become emotional, I will not be able to make the right decisions.
So, first thing first: ‘How I can integrate myself, how I can calm myself,
how I can center myself, how I can become peaceful inside myself?’ – Number one.
The second priority should be, of course, that goes along very well, is family integration.
‘How do I instill goodness in my children?’ Just simple goodness,
simple things like, ‘My son, my daughter, when you do this, do you feel happy?
Or when you do this, do you feel sad?’ Let that be your guiding principle.
Reinforce this idea, time and again.
So, our focus going forward should be this: When I learn, I must center myself.
My family comes next, then the rest.
All that we do is for the sustenance of the family and more or less for ego fulfillment.
‘Oh, I did it. My business is successful.’ Nothing wrong with it.
You are enjoying business? Right, go ahead and do it.
But during troubled times like this, you are looking for opportunities.
What else, what can I do? Protect yourself now.
While protecting ourselves for the moment, we can plan the future.
Study the expertise of the team that we have.
What is your strength? What is your weakness? Analyze it.
If you are an industry man or a businessman running retails or productive front, or whatever,
make a list of various possibilities that, ‘Oh, from here I can take up five new things.’
Involve the team members, because you may not be able to see everything.
Others can also see. Gather all the data from key players in the organization,
that these are all the possible things that we can take up beyond 2021.
See your expertise, what sort of people you have in your company,
and then take it forward based on various possibilities.
So, stay afloat, invite your team members, brain-storming or Heart-storming, if you like to say,
analyse things with your heart with a lot of logic thrown in all directions,
and crystallize a few plans in your mind and take an easy one and then see what happens next.
Kamlesh, it was wonderful, what you are saying, Daaji.
Then the next question would be: ‘How do I listen to my heart?’ I can think, I can understand. But..
Most people, they come back to me time and again, “Daaji, how to listen to my heart?”
I think this question comes when you really do not want to listen to your heart.
Heart always tells us what is evolutionary, what is good for us, what is in our interest.
The moment we make a deviation from this evolutionary path,
or what is worth it, or what is good for us, you want to shut it down,
because you will say, “Oh, no, this is not pleasurable anymore. I do not like it.”
For example, you have to go for a walk or do some exercise,
or you like to meditate or things like that. But you get confused. “Oh, let me do something else.”
It gets diverted, you see. At that time, your heart will always signal you,
whenever you do the wrong things. Suppose you ask me, “Kamlesh, where are you from?”
And I say that I am from such and such a place. And if I say, “I am from China”,
my heart will start beating faster. My heart will become heavier because I have lied.
The moment you lie, your heart becomes heavier. The moment things
are unnatural, the heart will become heavier.
When I am able to see properly,
my heart does not congratulate me because it is natural.
But the moment my heart skips a beat because I cannot see properly
or I have lost my hearing possibilities, then my heart will signal me heavily, “Oh, you better
check out with the doctor.” So anytime there is a normal thing,
the way it should be, just the right thing, the heart will not give you many signals.
But the heart will definitely give us a signal, whenever we go wrong,
whenever there is an unnatural thing, whenever there is that which is detrimental to our interest.
So the heart will pump heavier and faster. When that happens, take it as a red signal, a red flag.
One sentence to finish because I think we are running out of time.
You talk to your brain. You listen to your heart.
When you are working with your brain, you are talking, you are talking, talking, talking.
With heart, you listen. You cannot talk to your heart. You have to listen to your heart.
Your heart talks to you. And that is the difference. People who do not listen, have closed hearts.
Listen. Shut up your brain. Shut up your mouth. Shut up your thinking. LISTEN.
