 There is something called as a genius in a human being. There is a competence here which is capable of what nature did over a million years like that over the afternoon. If the necessary striving is there, you can make it into a conscious process. If you set up the necessary situation, success is an assured thing for that person. Small things are big things, it doesn't matter. In every single act a human being longs to be successful. Life is an infinite number of doorways. If you are very diligent, you will open a few of them. If you are brilliant, you will open many of them. But if you are truly vibrant, then they will open for you. The process of being successful becomes so complex for people that why they are working towards it is generally completely forgotten and they will start evolving concepts of success, all kinds of concepts. What is being successful, I would like to tell you. How can I tell you, you're looking so serious. There was a man in India whose name is Shankaran Pillai. It's like John Smith. His son came to United States. Obviously an Indian young man means he's a software engineer. He went to Texas Houston and started working there. Then he fell in love with a white American woman. He struggled because back home this love affair is a crime. He struggled and struggled and one day told his mother, then the mother informed the father and the father exploded. He went back home to convince him, didn't work because in India if you have to get married they're tracing your family tree for five thousand years. They're looking at the genetic purity of the person that you're marrying. So somebody from somewhere else, a white woman from America, how can you marry her? What do we know about her genetics? Where does she come from? What is her lineage? So no way to convince he came back. And of course when he came back again he fell in love and they went ahead then the father disowned. Shankaran Pillai just disowned his son. I have nothing to do with you. But years went by and they had a boy and the boy's picture from the day he was born it was on the Facebook and the wife sticks it in his face and the little baby and it's growing up every day and all the things slowly you know you have disowned the son but the grandson is a different matter slowly within a matter of one, two years he completely fell in love with this little baby that he has not seen. Things happened and people started coming from America those who were traveling, oh you must see your grandson, you've not seen him. Oh you must see him, this is the fruit of your life. Slowly it caught him then he decided he's not going to see son's face. He'll come to America and only see the grandson's face. And of course he's not going to look at that white woman. Then he came to America and a seven-year-old boy full of energy they're living on a small ranch he's all over the place doing all kinds of things he completely got washed away by this little fellow. Then this little boy one day said, grandpa come I'll show you my archery skills. He took him to the barn inside and he went into the barn and there he saw eight targets all of them with the arrow in the bullseye. Chakramillai looked at it and then he thought oh this is my grandson. He thought of all the great legendary archers of India you know Arjuna and Ekulavya and and he saw the future all the Olympic gold medals falling from the sky. Then he asked from what distance did you shoot? The boy said from 20 yards what? From 20 yards eight targets you shot them dead on bullseye. How do you do this? Then the boy said grandpa I first shoot and then paint the target. These concepts about being successful can be very crippling and I've continuously been with people they've reached a certain point of success and their concepts of success are not fitting. Their life is not fitting into their concept of success and it's breaking it and they think something is going wrong. It is not going wrong they're just getting better situations are pushing them on but their concept is breaking up so they're suffering their success. You will see any number of people going through these kind of things. When we talk about success I'm sure all of you must be already having plans as to how to unfold this success in your life. Make your plans. Plan is good but plans again can get caught up in things because you plan from what you know today. Nobody can plan from something that you do not know. Your plan means it is an exaggeration of today as a tomorrow. Right now you're here at a certain level now you think my plan means this must be ten times more in this many years or whatever or a hundred times or a million times or whatever. But plan is just essentially an exaggeration of what is today. Maybe there is a certain logic to it there is a maybe there is a understanding of the logistic attached to it but essentially it's a exaggeration of today that means in many ways it's ruled out whatever other possibilities which are not yet in your experience in Pennsylvania you heard of the Pennsylvania floods Pennsylvania has floods you know. It once happened a big flood came and water started rising in a small town and it rose up to the you know the house is getting submerged so two young boys got onto the roof of their house and they were sitting there and then they saw a hat going up and down and up and down in front of the house. One of the boys asked what is that why is that hat going up and down in so the other boy said don't worry it's my dad. Yesterday night he got into your fight with my mom and took a wow hell or high water I'm going to mow that lawn. So plans can be debilitating it's good to have a plan but it's more important that you have a purpose. If you have a purpose plans will evolve things will happen plans will fall apart new things will come up whatever has to happen will happen if you hold on to a certain purpose other things will just serve that purpose but if you are very committed to a plan as such then plan can become a blueprint for restriction it is also a possibility it's all right to hold a plan but you must hold a plan at a certain distance you shouldn't get identified with the plan. The process of success see essentially success is a desire in every human being you can put some fire into it and make it your passion but if it becomes a need within you that you must be successful otherwise you will suffer then you're heading for a problem a serious problem. Our passions can turn into poison if we become if we start becoming resentful for the non-fulfillment of those passions when I say turning into poison today there's substantial medical and scientific evidence to show that if you become resentful when you resent something when you're angry with something when you're frustrated with something we can medically today check we can do a little bit of blood work and show you you're actually putting poison into your system these are poisons that you drink and you hope somebody else will die life does not work like that if you drink poison you die and it's fair it's very fair isn't it if you drink poison you must die I drink poison I want him to die it doesn't work like that so these emotions always take away the fundamental ability see there is something called as a genius in a human being every human being has it every human being touches it at some moment of life but the question is how often do you touch it that's a question you sparked once in your lifetime that's not good enough you must be sparking all the time isn't it what is genius the many ways to look at it one simplest way to look at it is when we say intelligence we are always thinking logical thought now logical thought will be meaningless probably in another 25 years because your computer may be able to explore all the permutations and combinations of logical thought much quicker and better than you can do so touching the genius means there's another dimension of intelligence within you see here's a chicken over the afternoon this chicken has transformed itself into a human being if you ask Charles Darwin how long does it take for a chicken to become a human being he would talk in terms of millions of years here he is over the afternoon he transforms a chicken into human being so there is an intelligence here there is a competence here which is capable of what nature did over a million years like that over the afternoon only thing is this is an unconscious unconscious state of intelligence whatever is unconscious if the necessary striving is there you can make it into a conscious process in your conscious process if this intelligence even a drop of this intelligence is available to you suddenly life will spark like it's a magic what everybody slogs for you can just simply do it now when I say intelligence always people would think this if you say intelligence and ask them to show in sign language they'll also always say this isn't it they'll not say this or this or this or this but one cell in your body is doing more activity than your brain could ever do one molecule of DNA is doing so many millions of functions in a minute that you can never ever figure it out yes or no so in yoga in the yogic systems in the yogic sciences we never look at anything as mind there's no such thing as mind there is a physical body and there is a mental body so you learn to think through your body you know it's a short session it's not area that we should enter right now but I have to tell you this there are many things personally that I do at the same time now people come and tell me just now I'm entering the session somebody comes and tells me Sadhguru this building plans have to happen because we do everything ourselves now by the time I get out I'll have the building plan ready as I'm speaking here because 12 to 14 channels actively keep going on in my head it is not just in the head you learn to think think through your body learning to think through your body will never give you a headache that's the best part of it now all these responsibilities and thousand things happening at the same time won't you get stressed there is no such thing because you use a deeper dimension of yourself and everybody is capable of this and everybody has it you may not have the same level of intellect as somebody else has that is always subject to person to person but all of you eat you if you eat a carrot you can digest it that means you have another dimension of intelligence yes if you set up the necessary situation that everything that's there within the system is available for you success is an assured thing for that person
