Let life be a spontaneous unplanned flow || Acharya Prashant, with youth (2013)
Question: Sir, as I am asking a question to you, I am not thinking, I am directly asking the question. This means that, I have will power. This is confidence. Suppose there is a situation where we need to manage our time for the day and we have to plan our schedule where we can manage our time for certain activities and academics.
When I make a certain schedule, that I will do this at certain point of time, I am not able to stick to the timetable and then the time-table goes into the dustbin. Why does this happen? Why I donot have willpower to follow the plan?
Speaker: Let it go into the dustbin. You know that I thought that I will write, I wanted to write something, let us say poem, a short story. I will planned that I will write for two hours in the morning and then I will go for shopping. I will then come back, meet a friend and then I will study for two hours. I have planned my day this way. Right?
I have planned my day out. Now as I sit down to write in the morning something happens. I am so absorbed in writing that I donтАЩt even come to know when the evening has arrived. A wonderful thing has happened, let the planning go to the dustbin. Forget the plan. Why do you need a plan? You go to meet a loved one and you thought that first we will sit in the park for one hour, then we will watch a movie, then we will have dinner. As you sit in the park in the evening, you find that it is sufficient. Forget the movie. Why must you watch the movie? Who is important? You are important or the planning is important?
