How Do I Deal With Unfulfilled Expectations _ Sadhguru – Transcript

How does one handle expectations and dejections towards oneself from others? How does one handle expectations and dejections towards oneself from others? Don’t create the expectations there will be no dejections [laughs]. It’s like i throw a stone up “Sadhguru” “i throw a stone up. Why is it landing on my head?” [laughs] Well that’s how it works on this planet. [laughs] If you don’t want to work like this you must leave this atmosphere and throw the stone up just continues to travel straight up [laughs] This is how it works here. If you throw it up it lands on your head No? You are like somebody who plays solitarie you know. Yes this like playing solitarie. This is just because you are like a person who wants to drive on a Mumbai street without knowing anything about the vehicle that he drives. You don’t know how to drive but you got into your car or motorcycle and try it to do. Motorcyle won’t cooperate at all first moment you will fall. Car is a little is easy anybody can make it roll you know because it is on four wheels. So if you drive then you say “Sadhguru i am driving…” “but there is so much fear what to do? And people” “are dying on the street. What to do?” [laughs] Well that’s what will happen. So if you want to drive it you spend some certain amount of time learning to drive before you hit the road isn’t it? This is also just like this: Before you start your life must spend some time learning something about this machine isn’t it? This body this mind how to use it? In what way to operate its best. Shouldn’t we spend some time? No you just jump into life “I create expectations and i” “get dejected. Obviously unrealistic” Isn’t it? So “Ohh if i don’t create” “expectations may be i won’t do nothing”. That’s not true. Anyway you are doing something isn’t it? Huh? Even the bees and the birds and the ants and elephants are doing something isn’t it? Whatever they can do aren’t they doing? So that’s all you can do also. Whatever you can do you can do what you cannot do you cannot do. So we taught you Isha Yoga to remove all the other nonsense. Do you understand? If you can look upon on everything around you the same way eveything you can do you’ll do. What you cannot you’ll not do. What’s the problem. That’s how the whole existence is functioning isn’t it so? If you ask this planet to spin backwards can you do it? Even mother earth cannot do. So what’s the big deal? You are just a piece. Isn’t it so? The earth is spinning like this if you say spin like this tomorrow morning can it spin? No! So what’s the big deal? You can only do what you can do. Once you see this your whole life will be focused on how to enhance your ability to do. Not waste your time on silly expectations. Life will happen the way it happens not because you desire. It happens because you are enabled in a certain way. Instead of enabling yourself you’re wasting your time in silly expectations of yourself. So instead of spending your time building fancy expectations spend your time to enable this one. What you are capable that’s all you will do isn’t it? Can you do something more can anybody do something more than what they are capable of? No. It is just that your capability can be stretched. Without stretching your ability to do you are building expectations. It is just fundamentally wrong isn’t it? No? It’s fundamentally wrong isn’t it so? “Now i want run 100 meters in 7 seconds” You shouldn’t think of this. You should just work on your legs and your lungs and just run! Maybe who knows you run it in 6 seconds who knows! Why are you worried about the time? You build your legs into as powerful a condition as you can build it and just run! Just for the simple joy of it. We don’t know what will be the time. 21 minutes? [laughs] So don’t waste your life in setting up expectations because these expectations are not even yours. You are looking at your neighbor and setting expectations for yourself. It is a very very silly way of building your life. Because your expectations are not even yours. Isn’t it? I am telling you… Human mind is such. Let’s say in Mumbai everybody had only one leg huh? You had actually two but everybody had only one. They are all hopping around you will also do that [laughs] Do you have to?! Because you are setting up your expectations looking at people around you. So there is no need for any expectations. Just enable yourself whatever the situation allows will do. Just oh this is all you have to do: Build your body and your mind in such a way that you can use it to the fullest capability. So whatever kind of situations arise in front of you accordingly you act not the fancy way you like. And right now we have started a whole different form of education in Isha called Samskriti. They are no formal education. They are just learning Yoga classical music classical dance Sanskrit language English language and marshall arts. Nothing else. These kids know nothing but you come and see them [laughs] absolutely like this because we are just teaching them to use their body and their mind to the fullest capability. You will see by the time they are eighteen they will be phenomenal creatures Because your success in this world is just this – The physical world the success is just this: How effectively can you use your physical body and your mind. That’s all your success is. Is that so? Huh? That’s all it is isn’t it? A little bit of knowledge you need the damn knowledge is all on the net you don’t have to keep in your head. Huh? It’s all in the net. Unless you want to do some specific kind of activity for you want to build some knowledge but that also. I would say whole education system which is little over 20 years right know can be compressed to 5 to 6 years if people are of a certain mental capability. And every human being almost every human being except those who are impaired in some way almost every human being is capable of this if only you take off the silly expectations which are a crippling factor because your expectation is if somebody is doing this you want to do one step more even if that’s a crippled standart You don’t go about building expectaions you just work upon building your body and your mind to enable yourself that you can use it to the fullest extent. We don’t know how you will use it. What you do in this world should be relevant to the situation in which you exist isn’t it? Action is always about the situation not about you. If this one thing if you get it then there will be no expectations. Simply you do what is needed. In a given situation you simply do what’s needed. That’s all! If you’re placed in Mumbai you learn the stock market huh? If you are placed in Kanyakumari you learn fishing. This also you do well that’s also you do well. That’s all wherever you are that’s all there is isn’t it?
