A little chap from a middle class family, five feet five inches, wheat complexion was standing at
the door step after my session on Promoting Thought Leadership. He was little curious and
nervous. I find anxiousness in his eyes. Slowly as crowd disappeared, he came to me and straight
a way said – “ I am an engineer, meritorious student, achieved so many awards in life but still I
find myself unsuccessful; I find myself unsatisfied. I am fade up with company politics, family
expectations, unending work pressures, daily traffic jams, poor health and fear of getting a pink
slip from a company upon my underperformance. It has become so frustrating to live in the space
of competition, comparison, compromise. Please help me to overcome this.”
As education brings prestige, money and sense of achievement it equally brings ego with it.
You may possess the little extra qualification than your parents, your peers and it is sufficient to
feed your ego. It will diminish the harmony in the family in the friend circle. Ego may come
from the sense of status in life. Knowledge can make you sometimes egoistic. And then the
peace is gone. Ego in search of peace is a perpetual beggar.
Beyond the results, beyond the success; beyond money, power, fame and everything; when we
see a human being, I in spirit and you in spirit are one and the same.
Only through ethical and moral living we can have the life where we are not required to hide
ourselves from ourselves. It is the manifestation of energy which defies your life when source of
energy for you, me and others is same. Rather than recognizing peripheral difference between
you and others why not to connect ourselves through spiritual oneness we have?
If we could achieve the state of mind which is out of ego and have no distortion in what you feel,
what you think, what you do, what you achieve and what you report; that is the sense of
peacefulness. The boy who came to me was in a state of mind where what he feels is different
than what he thinks. What he does is different than what he achieves. And what he reports or
what he shows to the outside world is totally the false impression of achievement when truly he
is somewhere lost in understanding his own purpose of life. Thus, it becomes very important to
draw your own roadmap of future and imprint it in the mind at very early stage of the age.
I write this article with immense sense of responsibility to make your time worth investing in
Tirelessly striving to stretch your arms towards perfection is the key. Where the clear stream of
thoughts is not lost somewhere, and you drive it to your goal, you are supposed to achieve what
you are worth for. First neutralize yourself with let ego be out of your body. One human life
lived well could be the turning point for the rest of the world.
In the process of living life you will face ups and downs. The graph of the life is not straight line
and it shall not be a mere straight line. Failure is such fantastic point which allows you to
introspect. The question when you fail is, not what world says on your failure, but, the question
is why you failed? Introspection is the first step in the process of accepting the failure. Many fail
in accepting the failure. They challenge the fact. I don’t want you to challenge the fact but you
shall challenge the future, you shall challenge your own capacities. And the reason is very
simple, the reason for my today is my own past. Do you have any excuse for your failure?
Nobody is interested in your excuses, then why you are? God loves the Trier but world loves the
Failure is not a Defeat! I don’t mind if you fail but I mind if you won’t bounce back. Success is

Every today has to be somehow better than yesterday, and every tomorrow has to be better than
today. When clear stream of reason is not lost its way into the dearly desert sand of dead habits;
where everything can be rationale, reasoned out, scientifically explained, when we can build the
intellectual society, there is where we are hitting the era of transformation.
Rabindranath Tagore Said – “When clear stream of reason is not lost its way into the dearly
desert sands of dead habits. Where the mind is laid forward by the into every widening thought
and action into that heaven of action, my father, let my country awake.”
A time comes in the life of caterpillar that it doesn’t want to be a caterpillar any more and that is
the beginning of butterfly. Let’s forget what our past is. Let’s draw the line to set the past as
history and let’s get ready to create the future. If you don’t draw the line then our future will
remain mere repetition, an imposition of the past. Let’s stop conditioning of the past and let’s
from now condition ourselves for the challenge, for changes.
Let’s feel the paradigm shift. Translation into implementation of real life is the aim of the course.
But tonight when you go to sleep, somewhere at the back of mind you feel the translation of your
own thoughts, transformation of your own thought process.
“The day you stop learning is the day you stop growing!”
You are uniquely different. When I am travelling on a road, many people overtake me. Just the
matter he is travelling faster than me he will reach the destination earlier than me but it never
means I won’t reach the destination. Sooner or later even I will reach.
Let’s not waste our time in dissecting our past which cannot be relived. Let’s focus on future,
The spirit of acceptance to accept the past is important. Knowledge is never given to you to
change your past but it is given to you to build your future. Yesterdays experiences were
required to gain maturity of today. Forgive others. Let’s not hate others for whatever wrong they
have done to you. Let us forgive them. The time you forgive them, the time you are in a peace.
Let us follow one story (abbreviated from a Chinese tale) - It seems two monks were walking.
One was younger to the other. They come to a stream and it was about to dark. So the older
monk asked a girl near the stream – Why don’t you go back to your place, it’s about to dark. And
the girl replied - I am afraid of crossing the stream. The young monk immediately offered help,
please get on to my shoulder. He carried her and crossed the stream. He dropped the girl on the
other side of the bank. Monks continued their journey but young monk observed disturbed old
monk. The older monk questioned him- How can you touch a girl? Don’t you know that we are
Sanyasi? We shall not touch the opposite sex?
Young monk said – the girl you are talking of is to whom I dropped long time back. Why are you
People will betray in your life, they will give you something in your life, why to carry them in
your head? Why to disturb your own peace? The only way to let them go from your head is to
forgive them. Forgiveness is not liberalizing others but it is liberalizing you from others. While
driving the rear view mirror has to be seen only for reference and driving has to be done through
wind sheet. Your thinking must be futuristic. The knowledge must not be wasted in dissecting
the past but in constructing the future.
Let’s feel the transformation; transformation is Trans formation that is transcending my old
version to the new version. Let’s evolve to stronger, matured manifested human being.
Let’s come out of the comfort zone. Even if nobody believes you but you believe in yourself,
you make your life. You will definitely architect altogether new future for yourself. Today is the
first day of your life. If you ask me today what is wrong with this country? Can we change the
nation? See, if you are trying to correct the present then you are banging your head against the
wall but if you want to build the nation then it’s possible. Invest in all those who are in the age
group of 15 to 25 today and they are the future.
If you study history carefully, the unintended consequences have shaped the history in a far
better way than those of intended consequences.
Don’t condition your self with words You Can’t.
You need to be sustainable in implementing a change. You think, person studies in IIM-
Ahemedabad, go to the organization and do some changes and achieves great heights? No! Its
when how he could enforce those changes persistently. Sustainability is important.
You desire 1st rank, you desire fame, you desire money, and you desire peace…. But in life you
don’t get what you desire but you will get what you deserve. By Indian cricket team winning the
match, you feel so happy. You celebrate, you enjoy. I accept that you feel proud that India is
winning international matches, India is achieving; but my question is what you do that India shall
be proud of? Where is your contribution?
Strive for excellence in a life to such a level that the country shall be proud of you. Conquer the
world with Passion, Perseverance and Consistency. God bless you!
