Live Fully, Die Fully, and Then Come Alive Again and Again
Existence does not allow multi-tasking. It says, “One thing at a time.” Rule one is that whatever is happening, it must happen fully, 100%. Second thing is what is happening right now, must happen only right now. It should live in this moment, be fully alive, and then it should die. It should not carry forward into the next moment. The first formula is the rule of complete life and the second one is the rule of complete death and these two must go together.

Questioner: Can we do music, study and exercise together, simultaneously?
Acharya Prashant: Sagar is asking, 'Can I be into music, studies and exercising simultaneously?
No, never simultaneously! Never simultaneously. I would not really enjoy if you are exercising right now or if you are singing right now. Right now there can be only one music and only one exercise. Simultaneity in that sense, is not possible, and not welcome either; should not even be attempted. One thing at one go.
A Zen monk has said that, “When I eat, I eat; when I walk, I walk; when sleep, I sleep.”
We live in a different way. When we walk then we are talking in our heads; when we are eating then we are planning, 'When am I going to study and such things?' And there is a great deal of parallel actions going on, obviously which is imaginary, because in reality actions can never be parallel.
