If you
pursue
The path of self development
or
gain your potential
through this path
Then that can take a lifetime
I want to find out what is the balance
between trying to pursue
my development versus doing something
And finding that balance how do I go about figuring that out for me?
Was that clear?
yes yes
Now
when you talk about self development
we're not talking about self-development here
Self can not be developed
what you are referring to as self cannot be developed
it's not something that you can develop or you can put it down or anything
it's just that it's being
it's been lost
you lost contact with it
so getting in touch with it
in case it takes a lifetime
in case not necessarily
in case it takes a life time how much time do I give for that and how much time to do
other things ..what are the other things you do
okay
so the other things that you do in your life
Will I have enough time for it
you shouldn't do any other thing
You understand
everything
everything that you do
should be
Towards enhancing your own nature
now
you doing family, you doing work, all these things you are doing, everything can be used as a spiritual
process
it is not that
in 24hours time this many hours spirituality this many hours materialism and
this many hours family
Not like that
every step every breath every moment of your existence can be used
For your development of who you are
so
this is full time
and in that
what activity you wish to do
you do whatever you want
What is the problem
because
what we're talking about is of inner nature
What the other things you're talking about external isn't it
So externally you can be working in the office and still see
this moment is inevitable
you can be at home also and do it right
so wherever you are, you can do it
so what ever you are doing
you're using everything as a process of growth everything
so
this does not mean doing yoga does not mean morning yoga evening yoga
rest of the time you do stupid things
Its 24hours yoga only yoga
nothing else but yoga
Whatever you do you make it into yoga
every single act in your life you make it into a process of growth
Only then it will work
Part time spirituality doesn't work
will this suck me away from my family
Questioner: Or what else? all right
now
will this take me away from this or that
not necessarily not at all
because
millions of people who have done the program
all people who are involved in variety of activity
just a handful of people are full-time into it because some people need to do it full-time yes
suppose that I also pursue some other profession
And you know only in my vacation I thought
inner engineering
you wouldn't be here today isn't it
so few people
take it up full time because
they see that's three choice they want to do that
and when you can go to the office
and do software programming or management or something
Why cant you go out and teach something
it's not that you have to take it up I'm saying but for an individual person
what is the problem somebody chooses that
So only thing is, only criteria that may be disturbing people is
they're not making money
No no I will come
that's not going to disturb you then no problem
you doing what you want to do
you either chose to go to this job or that job or that job isn't it
so
With Isha Yoga if you come
Instead of working five days a week you'll end up working seven days a week
that's the great change that you will have
Because you will experience your whole life as a vacation
you will learn to experience your work as vacation
then
You are always on vacation
so will this take me away from something? this doesn't take you away from anything, it enhances
Your life but
If you choose to get it
after some time you will retire from your job, isn't it?
when you retire is a question of your choice isn't that so
somebody goes out fishing
somebody goes out meditating
somebody goes out dancing somebody goes out drinking
Its individual choices that they are making isn't it
Right now unfortunately
people like you
whether up said because most of you I'm telling you
Yes who are see most of you I am telling you are only first or second generation of educated people
In your this thing you are just thrilled about few things
That you have access to
if you are tenth or fifteenth generation of the educated people in your family
you would have to total disdain for education doing well and all this nonsense
Yes?
because you are only first or second generation of
having access
you think ..that's everything
but your children wont think so you will see this
the children won't think so because right from their childhood they've seen all this nonsense
and it doesn't mean much to them when they grew up
Yes?
so
what you choose is just individual choice isn't it
Does doing this necessarily mean taking you away, people always ask me
Sadhguru what is the mission?!
So I jokingly tell them
my mission is to plant undercover yogis
so today I can
I can very proudly say
I have planted
many people who are in the peak of yogic experience, but they're managing banks, they are managing
corporations
They're housewives. You know, they are undercover yogis
Understand, they are not dressed like yogis. They don’t look like yogis
but they are
Experientially, they are very much yogis
but under cover
yeah
So you want to be undercover yogi or over?
Undercover that’s fine that’s my mission too
no
