Can a man who is bored during the weekdays suddenly become lively over the weekend? Why is there a separation? There is work, and then there is something else. It means you do not know what you are doing. When you have no real relationship with your work, you do not have any relationship with yourself, and as a result, all your life is spent just seeking holidays.

One knows what one is getting into is definitely worth doing. It is something one can give herself to, irrespective of what comes out of it, that kind of certainty and then comes the rational planning and decision making part. To get into what is right without worrying too much about the outcome. To be sure that the effort and the process itself is worth it even if nothing or very little tangible comes out of it. That is faith.

‘अप्प दीपो भव’ — ‘अपने प्रकाश स्वयं बनो’ — यह एक बहुमूल्य वक्तव्य है, लेकिन आख़िरी है। उससे पहले बड़ी साधना करनी पड़ती है। ‘कोई गुरु आवश्यक नहीं है’, यह जानने के लिए भी कोई गुरु चाहिए। जब पूरी साधना, पूरी दीक्षा हो जाए और शिष्य की विदाई का समय आए तभी गुरु को कहना चाहिए — ‘अप्प दीपो भव’। और तभी शिष्य के कान में ये शब्द पड़ने चाहिए। भूलना नहीं, ये ‘आख़िरी’ शब्द हैं।

The Gita has nothing to do with sāttvikatā. Even sāttvikatā is to be rejected as destiny, while even rājasikatā is to be embraced if it serves as a means to freedom. Everything and anything is fine if it is usable in the context of liberation. Even sattva can become an object of consumption — don’t we see learned people whose knowledge becomes their identity? The Gita is about getting rid of all traps — be it sattva, rajas, tamas, or anything.

You look in the mirror, and if there is a speck or blemish on your face, you want to change something. If you look at the Gita and that doesn't result in changes in your life, then you are misusing it. Anybody who holds the Gita must be ready to look within and discard all that which is unnecessary, borrowed, antithetical to life. If that is not happening, then that's disrespect to the Gita.

But in fact, the war was to stop Duryodhana from wreaking havoc on the entire country in the future. If the state policies themselves promote Adharma, then the effect on the population would certainly be derogatory. Therefore, despite the likely great loss of lives, it was still important to fight the war.

So, they proceed to the next destination; this is a vicious cycle. On the other hand, those who work because the work itself is a celebration, they win doubly because the work itself is the end, and they celebrate all the way to success.

Somebody who's asking for guarantees, somebody who is craving for assurances, he is unfit to even touch the Bhagavad Gita. This is only for the courageous ones.

I do not know the source of my own motivations. I do not know where my own desires come from, and I want to infect the other with the same desire in the name of leadership and motivation?

The goal might be achieved in the process of the game—fine. But the meaning does not lie in the goal. The meaning lies in the game. Play with abandon. You’ll forget to count the number of goals. Somebody will have to draw your attention towards the scoreboard. "I got so much into the game, I lost count of goals." This is not some impractical, utopian fiction.

But you have to remember that, ultimately, going to your workplace yields you nothing—maybe financial or physical sustenance, that's all. So the illusion of meaning has to be destroyed. The ego will otherwise keep looking for meaning where there can be no meaning—and in that lies a lot of suffering.

And even these two, after a point, you will see, are identical. It would either be something that gives you unconditional joy—purposeless joy. It is something you can do without getting any reward. If there is something that attracts you this way, then it's fit to be your goal.

If all that the Ego wants is liberation from itself, which means coming to see its own non-existence, then the only way to see its non-existence is by paying attention to itself. The more the Ego pays attention to itself, it sees that it does not exist. The more the Ego remains attached to this and that, all the sensory inputs, the Ego feels that is real and this is real.
