TRANSCRIPTIONS:-

I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today's subject, conflict free life way of right decision making. Again the subject opens some of the deep important truths on decision making. What is right decision making? Seeing the past as past, future as future, present as present and deciding is right decision making. Right decision making means seeing the past as past, future as future, present as present without infusing the past into future or future into past. Many time, what you want in the future, you start dreaming you had it in the past. We go on dreaming we had a golden child hood. Every individual again and again and again goes on dreaming if he is in the old age he feels his middle age was great, golden. If he is in the middle age he feels his youth was great and golden. If he is young now, he thinks his childhood was great. Golden and great. Understand, this is one of the biggest illusion we have. Not only you project your past into future, you project your future into past.

Understand there was never any golden childhood. If the childhood was golden, whatever comes out of that, whatever comes out, you see what comes out of your childhood? Youth came. Out of your youth, middle age came. Out of your middle age, old age came. So if your childhood was golden, then youth would have been golden, or diamond. If your youth was golden, than your middle age should have been diamond! Or platinum at least. If your middle age was golden, than at least your old age should be platinum. Understand, not only we project our future, sorry our past into future, we go on imagining our past was what we want in the future. We miss this important truth. We projecting our future into the past. We always feel, ask anybody they'll say, oh my childhood was great, golden childhood. No! You had all fears, all insecurity, all greed, all troubles, actually it all started there only. It all originated there only. So right decision making means, seeing the past as it happened. Seeing the future as it is without projecting your past into the future and deciding in the present. One important thing, many time you don't decide in the present. You just execute what you decide in the past.

You don't wake up for the great changes happened, the different situations. One actress goes to the court and judge asks what's your age? 27. Last year you also said the same thing. She says, no I don't change my words. (audience laughs). Many time you don't change your mind!!! You forget you are in a different situation. You need to decide being in the present, not go on executing the decision you made in the past. Yesterday if you observed the put my seat in the campfire exactly in the place where the smoke will go on my face. I asked that bramachary. Aray you saw how the wind is blowing. The why did you put here? You could have put other side. He said no Swamiji last time we put here only. During last inner awakening the wind was blowing in a different way! And he says he went and consulted a senior bramachary and did the thorough research where my seat should be put and put my seat. What to do? He doesn't change his words. And he doesn't change his mind. We forget that we need to be in the present to make decisions. Do not be a worker executing your past decisions. Be a leader deciding every moment.All your suffering is because you are not deciding. You're a slave executing the decisions made in your past, sometime by mistake.

Sometime you make some decision by mistake, you sit and think pros and cons, make one decision, over. After that you forget you have a component in you which has capacity to decide. And go on executing that past decision. By the time you are executing 50% the whole situation is different. But you are not sensitive for the present. You are just executing, executing, executing. So the right decision making means, these two thing. Not projecting what you want in the future, as, as you had it in the past. It's one of the biggest illusion we all have. How do you want your relationship to be? How it was years before. Look! Years before you also had enough suffering. Unfortunately you forget. Because you forgot does not mean it was not there! So, see the past as past. See the future as future. Making decisions from the present is what I call right decision making. I'll expand little more on this truths of time, kalaa so that you will be able to understand this truth of right decision making. The psychological time and chronological time, chronological means clock clicking. That is chronological time. Psychological time means your mind moving.
