Listen To This Before You Start Your Day | Sadhguru

what is the most important thing in your life right now you're alive right now isn't it sad guru that's okay guru but i have a bundle of thousand rupees a guru but i don't know where to go that's fine that is also important right now but what is the most important thing right now you're alive right now isn't it so because you're alive your family has become important your money has become important your country has become important so many other things have become important only because you're alive right now and this is the most important

thing that you're alive right now is the most important thing in your life right now so suppose suppose tomorrow morning you wake up you know every day nearly a quarter million people die on the planet natural death quarter million people die but you did not tomorrow morning you woke up check am i alive if you're alive will you give yourself one big smile if you're alive if you're not i'll excuse you will you give yourself one big smile if you're alive and if quarter million people died at least two to three million people lost somebody

who's dear to them so you check those three four people who are very important in your life all of them are alive today one more big smile then your check time it's 11 30 you're still alive don't think this is a joke what is ticking off here is not the clock it's your life it is not the clock ticking away it is your life ticking away and it is 12 o'clock you're still alive you must promise me this every time you check time you must give yourself a smile if you're still alive if you're dead

you're pardoned but so many people are walking on the street as if they're practicing their posture for their grave [Music] [Applause] [Music] don't worry it'll come naturally please death is super efficient it doesn't need practice when it happens boom 100 nobody ever died inefficiently people living efficiently but nobody died inefficiently so will you promise me this every time you check the watch you must give yourself a smile still on still on you don't know how it is happening do you really know do you know how this is happening no and so many people who are

so real just like you and me oh and they're gone just gone nowhere to be seen if you come to the idea of mortality once in a way it'll make you depressed it will make you fearful if you live with it every moment it will make you absolutely exuberant in the life because it is just this one thing that this is not forever this is just for a brief period of time and the more joyful you are briefer it becomes if you're ecstatic it'll just vanish in no time yes so if you want to stretch

it you need to make yourself truly miserable [Music] otherwise it will be just gone in no time if you come to terms with this if you live this way that every moment you appreciate one thing and only one thing because the most important thing in your life is you're alive right now to be alive fully alive 100 alive is the most important thing because only if something is hundred percent alive can you make it ill something beautiful say you have a little plant in your house or let's say a mango tree in your house it

is like this which is just imitating you [Music] can you make it come out with lot of sweetness no it's alive in a big way now you can expect sweetness from that nobody has to teach the mango tree which is alive please give sweetness anyway it will pour out isn't it miserable people have be to be thought please be loving please be nice to people gentle to people do this do that all these things necessary because in some way you become half a life if you're exuberantly alive it is natural for human consciousness to bleed

sweetness every moment of your life we don't know what great things you will do or not we don't know whether you will climb mount everest or not we don't know whether you will run faster than mr bold or not we don't know whether you will become the richest man or woman in this world or not but this one thing you must do to yourself this one thing you deserve this one thing is 100 in your hands that you can live here as a joyful human being this much is possible for every one of us our

ability to fix the world around us subject to various realities some things work some things don't work because this involves too many forces sometimes it falls into place sometimes it doesn't but in our lives will we do everything that we can do or not is determined by this that only if you're joyful by your own nature [Music] that is you have no fear of suffering only when you have no fear of suffering will you dare to walk your life full stride everything that you can do you will do in our lives if we do not

do what we cannot do this is not an issue but if we do not do what we can do we are a disastrous life it's my wish and my blessing that you should not become such a disaster everything that you can do must happen in this life if that has to happen the fundamental ambiance that is needed is that you are a joyful human being by your own nature what's the time stay on let's do it thank you thank you [Music] you
