How does one figure out their passion and should one necessarily follow their
passion even if it means sacrificing comfort lifestyle geographical proximity
to family and should passion always override such considerations which might
also be important in their own thing so what is let us understand what is
passion passion is just a certain thought in your mind to which you
invested any emotion that's your passion right you can be passionate about a
certain activity you can be passionate about a certain person you can be
passionate about a certain thing how did this happen it's a thought in which you
invested a certain amount of emotion I'm saying if you know this and if you know
how to generate thoughts consciously and invest emotion consciously this wouldn't
even be a issue right now passions are happening compulsively what
happens compulsively I will lead you wherever it leads you
sometimes it takes you to a good place sometimes it takes you to a bad place
but if it means so much to you it means so much to you means it is just that
you've invested so much emotion in it that's all it is because you've invested
so much emotion in it you may not be able to look at it logically once again
you have lost your fundamental discretion simply because you invested
so much emotion in it I don't think that's a way to build one's life one
must build their life consciously but most people don't understand what is
building life consciously they only do things by chance this is why those who
are successful are stressed those who have failed are frustrated both are
suffering what else should happen in their life that's what they need to look
at what needs to happen in their life is they must learn to conduct their
physical body their psychological process their emotional process and the
fundamental energy process in the body consciously if this happens consciously
this will happen the way you want if this happens the way you want you
joyfully a blissfully is a natural thing in the world what you do is not
according to your passion in the world what you do is what is most needed today
that's what you must do this is my passion the world doesn't need it but
you keep on doing it what is the point so just a follow-up on that question
about the world I mean certain things we need to done to improve certain issues
or to remedy certain problems now from my limited understanding or at least
what we learned in textbooks is Buddhism talks about how we should not be
attached I mean it talks about how suffering one of the reasons behind
suffering is attachment now my question to you sir the Guru on this is that how
can I attempt to remedy injustice if I am NOT sentimentally infected or attack
attached to a particular cause how can I help a particular friend or empathize
with him if I am NOT attached with him so this obsessiveness or attachment is
it necessarily bad say this attachment detachment business is a
misunderstanding that's come out of the Gita in this country people
misunderstood Krishna like nothing in the sense people think Krishna is
talking about attachment please look at his life his life his involvement isn't
it if you look at the scape of whatever we know about his life whatever little
we know about his life his life spells involvement involvement involvement with
everything around him so this person unfortunately is being accused of
detachment see if there is no involvement there is no life you can
only know life with involvement even if the meal that you eat today if you're
not involved you will not know what it is
without involvement you cannot even taste life not possible people are
talking about detachment because of fear of suffering fear of suffering has come
because when they involve they get entangled they do not know how to get
involve they just get entangled entanglement is
happening because your involvement is very discriminatory is that think again
so I should be equally involved in everything is what you saying maybe tell
me if you are less involved in your breath and more involved in your eating
you think life will work see breath is involuntary that's what I am that's why
I'm using the word breath because it's involuntary you don't have to do
anything it's just happening but we're involved by keeping the air conditioning
on whether this will suffocate it's our involvement we turned on the
machine we may not be consciously breathing all right but we are involved
without involvement in every aspect of life you will get skewed and that is
when psychologically you get messed up so much that in many ways man gets
deranged seeing this somebody said you're too attached
you must be detached no detachment will not work either can you be detached and
do something well can you do something well being detached about it no you need
absolute involvement if you have an indiscriminate sense of involvement you
will see there is no entanglement in your involvement if you discriminate you
will get entangled the problem is of discrimination not of involvement
