00:00Good Afternoon Sir, Good Afternoon Everyone, Sir my question is how to be feel motivated
00:08constantly throughout the academic year or throughout the life for achieving our aim.
00:14Sir generally we open a whatsapp, open a youtube, we watch lots of video about on motivation
00:22but sir it's just last or affect just for 15 or 20 minutes or maximum 1 hour.
00:27But sir we want to be motivated constantly, sir according to you what can you say that
00:33what can we could you help us to tell us something about that will help us to constantly motivated
00:41throughout our academic year, throughout our life.
00:46If you want to feel motivated for 1 hour, watch your usual motivation videos.
00:56If you want to stay motivated constantly, stop watching those videos.
01:12What would you want, the car is not moving, so keep pushing it from behind, apply a lot
01:26of force, push it from behind, how far will it go, how far will it go or would you rather
01:35turn on the ignition, the car has an internal engine, do you want to run it on external
01:45force, please tell me which car am I talking of, who is the car here, you want to live
02:00by your internal engine or by external stimulus, internal engine, motivation is always external
02:13therefore it cannot last long, but it gives immediate effects like steroids, so people
02:23feel attracted, you will feel enthused for 1 hour, yes I can do it, after 1 hour you
02:33will again say there is no way I can do it and now you know why those motivation videos
02:40get so many views, because you have to return to them again and again, so one person has
02:46to watch them 200 times, first time he watched it for 1 hour, so again he has to go and again
02:53watch it, one more hour and he has to again return to that, that's how the views keep
03:01increasing, think of it logically, if the motivation video actually did work, then it
03:08would have very few views, because the fellow would watch it and never need to watch it again,
03:13if the video actually works, I will watch it once and that will cure my problem, and I will not
03:22need to watch it again, but you need to watch that thing every second day, because it is an
03:29external thing and it makes you addicted to external power, it does nothing to demonstrate
03:41to you that there is something within you that does not even require motivation and that's the
03:49reason life education, spiritual education must be made compulsory, the central message of Srimad
03:58Bhagavad Gita is that the highest kind of action is motive less action, not motivated action,
04:06the one message Gita has is that motivation is useless, but you don't want to listen to
04:15Shri Krishna, you want to listen to your cheap kind of motivators, that's what has happened to
04:24India and when you go to the Gita, it is not motivation that you get, it is realization
04:31that you get and realization is the big daddy of motivation, once you realize something you
04:40do not need to be motivated at all, motivation appears like something trivial and unnecessary,
04:45who needs motivation, your friend is sick, he needs to be taken to the hospital and you see
05:01that he is sick, now do you need to be motivated by an external party to take him to the hospital,
05:09the friend is dying and you are sitting and saying you know I am not feeling motivated,
05:14so let me Google and find some video to motivate me and then that motivator comes and says yeah,
05:24show the world that you can do it, appears so comical right, because you can see what
05:37needs to be done, seeing is power, seeing is energy, are you getting it, you do not
05:49require any motivator, you require friendship and you require realization and you will pick
05:56up your friend, put him in the car and rush to the hospital, no motivation needed, no motivation at
06:06all and even if you carry him to the hospital, using that motivation tool, you might find that
06:15the second crossing on the road, there is a 30 second red light and you are again feeling demotivated
06:23and the friend is shouting, why have you stopped midway, the hospital is just a kilometer ahead,
06:32please carry me there and what do you say and unfortunately for your friend,
06:38your data pack expires, the friend too expires, because you could not motivate yourself,
06:51realize, realize, understand what you want to do, there is no power bigger than realization,
07:04see, see clearly, understand why something is important, once you understand why it is important,
07:14no motivation needed, are you getting it, watch deeper stuff, read more meaningful books.
07:29Sir, how to get it self-realized? That's what I said, watch deeper stuff,
07:37read meaningful books and watch this video again and again.
