Knowledge Tidbits

Questions: What should you do if your commitment is boring?

Gurudev: Commitment has value when things are not so charming. When things are interesting, you don't need commitment at all. You never say you're committed to doing something that's very interesting or charming.

Questions: What's the best way to learn?

Gurudev: Learning is inevitable. By doing things right, you learn, and by doing things wrong, you also learn. From every situation, from everybody, you learn either what to do or what not to do. Either by committing mistakes or by doing things correctly, you can't help but learn.

In deep slumber, you don't learn. And if you're asleep in your life, there's neither pain nor pleasure nor leaning.

Questions: How do I improve my patience?

Gurudev: Can I tell you next year? (Laughter)

Questions: How do I improve my memory?

Gurudev: Ask me this question later? (Laughter)

Questions: If you have spiritual teacher, do you still need luck?

Gurudev: You need luck to have a spiritual teacher? (Laughter)
