When we have the opportunity of doing something, just do it.
Imaginations will surround us all the time, which is good.
Without imagination, humanity will be lost.
Without dreams, humanity will be lost.
But a wiser person will filter those imaginations, filter those dreams and
apply it to those what is practical.
Be you a house lady, be you a maid, be you a factory worker, or
be you a CEO of a company, or a sales person, it does not matter.
it does not matter. The moment I close my eyes,
I get guidance from within-what to do next and what not to do next.
It has always happened to me.
Most of my business ideas that came, “This product or that product?”
“Why not this?” “Why this?”, everything came during meditation.
Let me share with you something that happens to me regularly, that
used to happen rather, and some of you might be facing it today.
Often in the middle of the night, you wake up.
Why do you wake up?
Often you remember things that you did not do, something that woke you up,
“Oh, I forgot to do this,”
or “I should have done that and I didn't do it.
Especially in my case, I used to get up like that.
Suppose I had to launch a particular product and it is inching in my mind
that, “Yes, I should finish that”, and even though I am sleeping so well,
all of a sudden this unfinished work will be highlighted, even in my subconscious.
So when we meditate,
So when we meditate, all these unfinished things,
things that I could have done but chose not to,
things that I could have done but I postponed,
and those things are very serious.
You know, Lord Krishna talks to Arjuna and He says,
“Karman Eva adhikaraste”
and He says, “Every action has its consequences.” Karma ends up always with Karmaphalas,
may be favourable, may not be favourable.
Okay.
But when we dive deeper into this Karma Theory, what makes you feel terrible?
The worst consequences are always not out of Karma, but akarma.
Something that I could have done when I had the time,
when I had the opportunity, I missed it.
Those impressions, those samskaras, those karmaphalas are terrible to cure.
It will haunt all your life.
I still remember.
Why did I become a pharmacist?
Because I could not get an admission into medicine.
I lost it by one mark.
And at that time, you keep wondering, “If I had only studied a little bit more,
if I had not paid so much attention to Cricket, to movies,“
and at that time you remember, “Oh, I should not have done that.”
So when we have the opportunity of doing something, just do it.
Imaginations will surround us all the time, which is good.
Without imagination, humanity will be lost.
Without dreams, humanity will be lost.
But a wiser person will filter those imaginations, filter those dreams and
apply it to those what is practical.
Meditation, time and again,
protects our energy, it preserves our energy,
because where I had to do ten different things, but before I end up doing, in
my mind I have gone through these ten things and may be filtered eight of them
or nine of them and came to one or two.
So meditation is a brilliant tool in filtering unnecessary experiments.
