Big Decisions – No Regret

Before taking big decisions, we should ask ourselves what we should invest our life in. Do not think in terms of what job to take or what education to do. The important thing is this life. For everyone, their life is precious. Into what should we want to invest this precious life? If we look at it this way, we will find something truly worthwhile to do. If we think in terms of how to earn a living and how to get something, we will do something silly that we will regret for the rest of our life. 

Most people are a regret, which is why they are going around joylessly – they are not doing what they want to do. Instead of creating what really matters to them, they are doing something for a living. Every creature, worm, insect, bird and animal are earning their living. Earning a living is not a big deal for a human being. Unfortunately, because of ten to twenty generations of poverty in this country, people have gotten into this mode. Parents are constantly grilling their children about how they will earn their living. When an earthworm can earn its living, is earning a living an issue for a human being with such a big brain? 

The question is about what we are going to create because what we call as our life is just a certain amount of time and energy. This energy that we call as our life, how are we going to invest it? If we are doing something truly worthwhile, it gets over before we know what happened. Only if we are doing something worthless, it feels like a long life. Have we noticed this? On a particular day when we were very happy, 24 hours went off like a moment. If we are miserable, 24 hours feels like ten years. 

One thing that every young person should do is to stay alone by themselves at least for two or three days without the influence of peers, professors or parents and look at what they want to invest this precious life into. However big or small, it does not matter. If we see that something is truly worthwhile and we invest our life in that, this will be a life of fulfilment.

It is extremely important to follow one’s heart while choosing one’s life direction. One can remain in peace and harmony while living life in the material world – one simply needs to be one with one’s inner self. Meditation under the guidance of a realised Master teaches us this.
