Full Text 1# And most important thing we need to decide about our life, is its goal. https://youtu.be/L39JYXGX5CI&t=9 2# If somebody is walking on the street and we ask him, “where are you going?” He says, I don't know. You will say then why you walking so fast ? what purpose is being served ? https://youtu.be/L39JYXGX5CI&t=23 3# In the same manner, people are working hard in the world. Somebody in AT&T, somebody in Ericsson and now in Toyota. But you ask them what for are you working so hard? They don't seem to have a clarity about the direction and focus of their life. https://youtu.be/L39JYXGX5CI&t=44 4# A few decades ago in management science, a theory was introduced – M.B.O - is anybody familiar with the term? Management By Objectives. You determine the objective of the organization, break it up into sub objectives and then sub sub objectives. So that each person is clear about what he or she is supposed to do. So, what is the Objective of our life and all the effort that we are putting in. https://youtu.be/L39JYXGX5CI&t=75 5# I am going to prove today that all of us knowingly or unknowingly are in search of God. This may seem him like a very drastic statement. There are so many people who claim there is No God. I am an atheist. However, I am going to proove that there is no atheist. Everybody is in search of God and he can search for nothing apart from God. https://youtu.be/L39JYXGX5CI&t=116 6# You may say, how is that Swami Ji ? There is always a duality in the world. There are the believers and the non believers. There is the day and night, Dharma and Adharma, Ishwar and Maya. Similarly, there must be the atheists and the theists. How do you say that there is no atheist? https://youtu.be/L39JYXGX5CI&t=166 7# I will prove it to you, but please listen very carefully to every word of what I say. Let's try and find out that all the endeavour that we are putting it - what is it for? One businessman is working very hard. Struggling it out. You ask that businessman? Why are you working so hard? Sir. What do you want? He says, I have launched this new Corporation. I wish to make it a success. Is that all? Why do you wish to make it a success? He says, by virtue of that, I will earn a few million dollars. So you want money in that case, it's not merely the success of the organization that you have established. That is a means for the money, you will earn from it. So, please tell me. Then why do you want money? Why do I want money? It will help me get the things of the world. What kind of things? https://youtu.be/L39JYXGX5CI&t=199 8# Five kind of things, Things to touch, Things to see, Things to smell, Things to hear and Things to taste. God has given us all five senses and we want the objects of these five senses. The whole world is a subject of our five senses. https://youtu.be/L39JYXGX5CI&t=295 9# So in that case money is also not the final goal. Money is only the means to get the things of the world. Let us ask a question again. Why do you want these five kinds of things? Why do I want them? They will give me happiness. Peace, Calm, Joy, Bliss, Maja, Lutf, Anand. There are many names, that means we want ultimately happiness, that's right. For the sake of happiness, you wanted the objects of the senses. Very correct. https://youtu.be/L39JYXGX5CI&t=327 10# and for the sake of the objects of the senses, you wanted money, that's right. And for the sake of money, you wanted to make your business is success. Very correct. And for the sake of making, the business is success, you were working so hard. That's right. So the entire chain, where did it end ? – in Happiness. https://youtu.be/L39JYXGX5CI&t=380 11# What does a person want? Ultimately happiness. Now, you go and ask the series of questions in any of the 50 States of USA or any of the 194 countries of the world - to any poor or rich, young or old person. What do you want? That person says I want this again. Again ask, why do you want it? He says, because of this. Why do you want that? Because of that, where will the chain end every time ? Tell me, in Happiness. In other words, all of us want one thing happiness. Now, let me ask last question. Why do you want happiness ? https://youtu.be/L39JYXGX5CI&t=409
