“If your Mind, Body, and Energy are well aligned, you can think at any speed and volume you want.”- Sadhuguru
As kids, some of us used to cross days off calendars waiting for summer holidays to reunite with our cousins, hear stories from our Grandmothers, or spend hours playing hide and seek with our friends. Time used to fly by during the holidays. Snap of the fingers and summer was over. However, for those of us who loved summer vacations, time spent in the classroom sometimes felt like it was at a standstill, like the hands in the clock were teasing us and refusing to move. Whether we were riding bicycles with friends or trying to remember multiplication tables, there were the same number of hours in both those days. As individuals, many of us understand that our time on Earth is finite and transitory. It’s up to us to optimize this time and imbue our lives with significance.
In this video, Sadhguru provides insight into the two most important aspects of life, time and energy, and shares the key to creating maximum impact on people.
Sadhguru: “Life is a combination of two things: a certain amount of time, and a certain amount of energy. Time is rolling away. You do something, you don’t do something, you’re happy, you’re unhappy, tick, tick, tick, tick, it’s going away for all of us, it doesn’t stop for any of us. We cannot say, “Today I didn’t use it, let me roll it back.” There’s no such thing. Time is just rolling away.”
“So, the only thing that we can manage is our energy. Our energies we can manage in such a way, either it is, you know, very…makes your life very profound – these are two aspects when it comes to life –one thing is, to make your experience of life very profound. Another thing is, your activity must be impactful.”
“You can’t do what somebody does. Somebody else may be doing something else. You must know where is your limit, and you stay on that edge, and see how to push that edge. But you don’t try to do what somebody else is doing right now.”
“Time will run anyway, whether you like it, or you don’t like it. Today gets over, tomorrow happens, tomorrow gets over – it’s happening to all of us. So, these are the only two ingredients you have: time and energy. What you make out of your energy is the profoundness of your life, and also the impact of your work. Please, all of you, make that happen for yourself.“
“First and foremost thing is life should become profound in your experience, then how you impact people, you don’t have to worry. Whichever way you do it, it’ll be for the best. But if you live on the surface and try to impact people, sometimes you will do good things, sometimes you will do terrible things to people, maybe with good intention. Because most horrible things on this planet are done with best of intentions, not with bad intentions.”
