How Do I Figure Out What To Do In Life? | Sadhguru Answers
anything that you take up that’s when your genius flowers now there’s a limitless way of looking at life all i know is this needs to be done and those who do it with all that they have will find fulfillment [Music] namaskaram sadhguru sadhguru i have a south indian father and it was a very rocky relationship with him when rally forever happened i happened to volunteer for it my father really got angry and he was like this is not what you want to do and he wanted me to ask you this that what is my responsibility as a son for my balance and i wanted to ask you this that am i doing the right thing there are no right things to do in life if you choose something and put everything that you have into it it’ll become a great thing is it the right thing is it the best thing when you say is it the right thing what you are asking is is it the best thing to do in life there is no best thing to do in life anything that you take up and if you put your heart and soul into it it becomes a great thing is it the best thing no then what is the best thing there is no such thing there’s really no such thing and now that you have duties towards your parents tell me whether it’s to yourself or to your parents or to anybody don’t look at yourself as a aid or an idiot whatever you want to call yourself if you’re just a piece of life hello and today you’re here one day you’ll be poop gone what do you think is your duty to this life and to every life please tell me what does living fully mean huh you are a brief life you’re a brief life i want you to just imagine you’ve seen those insects which come when it rains you know ants which fly [Music] suppose you were that you just came alive and gone that’s what you are just compared to the span of your life the insect’s life is looking so meaningless and gone that’s what the rivers are thinking about you poo-poo and gone yes or no compared to their lifespan you are just like that insect or less than an insect isn’t it so but you don’t know what the insect is thinking but at least you i want you to think and see it’s a bloody brief life both for you and your father and don’t you ever take this south india in a negative point as if a south indian father is some terrible phenomenon you tell your father i defended his south indian origins in this culture people desperately wanted to have a son not because they had a kingdom to rule because they believed if they have a child because the girl will get married and go off somewhere if the son is there he will be there and make sure that before they die he will take them to kashi or he will take them to the right place and see that they get mukti [Music] that is the entire process of life here because we saw the very process of life and it’s exuberant flying around for some time and poof this itself is a trap suppose you remember 100 lifetimes of coming up flying around falling in love reproducing south indian or north indian and kayantasthanam suppose you remembered 100 happenings like this would it become meaningless yes yes because of loss of memory everything is looking fresh yes so your fundamental duty towards yourself and your father is just to remind them of this so are you doing the right thing i don’t know sir all i know is this needs to be done and those who do it with all that they have will find fulfillment [Applause] i am not somebody who ever debated is this the right thing to do in my life what was needed i jumped into it because if you’re a constipated life you will always be thinking about what to do what not to do what to do what not to do what is my passion what is not my passion why the hell are you not passionate about everything hello yes why are you not passionate about everything in the existence you’re only passionate about one thing means what you constipated that’s what it means so see idiots do things that they don’t like to do suffer for their whole life because they think it’s needed or they think it’s their duty intelligent people do what they love to do they enjoy their life to some extent but a genius learns to do what is needed joyfully that’s when your genius flowers it’s no more about you now there’s a limitless way of looking at life so every aspect of this rally or many other things we have done i don’t even have to tell people that this must happen this must happen this must happen a few things yes rest of it i just make it up in my mind and i know it must happen and it will happen not because not because i am exercising my will over the world because i’m just fulfilling the will of the world that’s all [Music] you
