The man is spending most of his youth being imprudent, which is the most unfortunate thing. If it is for the country, or for nature or the world, or for the human welfare, if it is spent for all these, then there will be some meaning to life. If he feels that he will live for the entire world, for the entire nature, for the country, or for future generations. There will be some sense and some meaning. If he becomes eligible scientifically by knowing the technology to decrease the pain of human beings from any corner of their lives or there will be some sense if he tries to make some ways to the humanity by helping them to reach God quickly. However, we do not have that much patience. We will be tired of very trivial problems.
Once a disciple told me, “Today my life has become overloaded”, Do you know why he was so tired and overloaded, he saw three movies continuously, and then he came for Darshan. He said, “Master, I have a severe headache, today there is a huge load”. I thought that he might have struggled very hard. I asked him what he did. He told that “As I have to tell you the truth, but you should not scold me”. I said OK I won’t, tell me. He told me that master I have seen three movies continuously. It is his burden, and responsibility and it is life for him. I told him to Just try to contemplate what he was doing. There is no ultimate ecstasy or great happiness in it. There is nothing but a headache. If anyone has a brain in their skull, he will be so busy living for his life, as he will not be in a position to even see the person who is beside him. If the brain gets diminished or decomposed or if it is slowly infected by the termites, then it will be totally dedicated to the other person’s life. To give success to others, to develop others, for the betterment of others, all the thoughts for the fellow beings. Always longing for others starts within him. We should not go like that.
- You have very limited time in your life.
- You have only limited fuel to drive your life.
- You have a little energy which is required for your life.
- You have the capability, only which is required for your life.
- You have something which can only survive your needs.
- You don’t have additional energy to give it to others.
And there is no need to even give to others. If you are flowered then, your fragrance will reach fellow beings. And if they are flowered then they will reach the entire world. Like this, the entire world will be benefited. We have to go ahead to release our burdens, take care of our responsibilities, by performing our duties, and travel towards our goal. We have to go ahead with our hardship. It’s enough if you perform your responsibilities. It’s not necessary to put the burdens of others and not even take the burdens of the world. You perform your duties and responsibilities honestly by following ethics. It is enough for your life. I am saying that this is also a kind of journey. There is no ecstasy or pleasure, but there is life in it. It will be continued in one direction and in one way.
Now if you ask who the real knowledgeable person is? I say that the person who utilizes his youth
- For enriching his awareness
- For exploring his cognizance
- For the transformation of his consciousness
- For recasting his wakefulness
Who is utilizing his youth for conscious thoughts, decisions, and desires is called a real sage.
