Maybe.

Hello everyone, I hope all of you are doing absolutely great
Well, let me get to it as simple as possible.
There is a word that is between a yes and a no, that's called maybe, but
English literature and other languages don't teach us that.
Maybe is our only use for expressing an opinion which might be true which might be false as well.
So let's cut the chase and get to why maybe.
Why it is maybe.
So the bold statement which I would like to add here is everything around us is a maybe.
How's it?
Whatever comments that you listen to, whatever interpretations there are in YouTube, or you hear it from pioneers of your industry, or chief guest, principal, teachers, your friends, natives, whatever you hear, the advice is that they are giving.
That's not an absolute correct advice.
And that's also not
A false advice.
It's somewhere down the line in a maybe.
It may be true, it may be false.
For example, fire was invented by us.
Is that statement right?
Will you all agree with me if I say fire was invented by human beings?
Absolutely not.
It was founded by human beings.
The trick of obtaining a fire, of lighting a fire was founded by human beings, but not invented.
So long, long back, thousands and thousands of years back, the only way to light a fire was rubbing stones.
And that was the only way our ancestors found out that, wow, we can control fire.
And once we can control fire, every other organism that's around us can't control that.
Have you ever seen any other animal other than human being lighting a fire, lighting a matchstick or lighting a fire towards the jungle?
No, only we can do that.
So the one who controls the power is more powerful.
Human beings became more powerful because we can control the ultimate power and that is fire.
So at that point of time, you became absolute powerful by just controlling a grand power.
In a similar way,
Can you just assign one point that suppose that guy who just lighted up two stones together and fire was obtained.
So if we call him on stage through time machine and ask him, what's the way to light a fire?
He would say, the best advice I'm giving you, the best statement that I'm giving you is use two stones, rub it together and there will be fire.
Thousands and thousands of years later,
Another way was discovered to extinguish a fire, to control a fire.
That was sand.
But during that time, when they lit fire accidentally and they discovered fire, the cavemen used water as one of the ways to extinguish fire.
That's how they controlled it.
But that was the only way they knew how to control fire.
But thousands of years later, we found sand is the another way to control fire.
And hundreds of years from now, backwards, we found out that carbon propulsion or in a simple way fire extinguisher is another way we can extinguish fire.
So was the caveman wrong about how to extinguish or how to light a fire?
No.
But was he absolutely right that that's the only way?
No.
In a similar way, whatever we say, whatever we do, whatever advice you get, that is not absolute.
Human beings are bound to make mistakes.
Every fabric in this universe works on the base of getting you wrong.
Nothing works to be absolute.
You have to be wrong.
You will be wrong.
That's why in science, no equation is absolutely perfect.
It is bound for improvement.
And time and time again, it is going to improve by some group of scientists who work their way out with those formulas.
So whatever advice you are receiving from your seniors, take it with a pinch of salt.
Adapt to it.
Just adapt it by your own situation and your own advantage.
For example, Vedas and all the religious sculptures, whatever is written in those texts, that is not an absolute truth.
Absolute truth is, this is what happens because that was written in a different time period.
But today it is very much relevant.
But you have to adapt those texts to your need, to your need of your present.
And then only you can survive your present.
What I meant to say here is, there is not a yes, there is never a no, it's always a maybe.
So whatever you are dealing today, you are dealing with probabilities.
Probability is one of the best chapters you can read in mathematics and that's because everything works on probabilities.
A stock market is going to crash or stocks are going to pay you well, it all depends on probability.
It all depends on mood, it all depends on maybes, where this is going to happen or not.
Another thing is, are you going to be successful?
Three of the motivational speakers will tell you, okay, get up, leave procrastination, work and do the absolute best that you can.
That's another maybe because maybe you work so hard but still fail.
A rickshaw puller works harder than all of us, even harder than Mukesh Ambani, but still gets only 1000 to 2000 rupees a day.
That's also when he is lucky.
So it all based on probabilities.
So probabilities is not your cup of coffee, but it's much more a game of chance.
A chance is where higher entity comes into place.
That is why from
the day Kalyug started, everyone prays to God because we always respect the higher authority.
For all the animals, lightening a fire was an authority.
Only an exemplified group of individuals would have done it.
In a similar way, human beings did it.
They lit up the fire, but they controlled the fire as well, the cavemen.
All the animals respected that
and we became the undisputed king of this planet.
In a similar way, we know that there is someone higher than us who controls every single force, every single photon, every single atom in this universe.
Definitely he is bigger than us.
Definitely he is much more at a complex and advanced level than all of us human beings.
And we name it God.
Certainly that's the case.
And for that reason we worship
The God.
Because we know what we can't reach, where we can't reach.
This authority has a claim over that.
So we worship that please bless us.
Make sure we sail through the hard times.
Make sure we do everything all right.
And we thank you for providing us this opportunity.
That's the entire contention human beings live for every single day.
And in this process,
They try to work more, they try to smile more, they try to cry, they try to express their emotions but all that matters is nothing because everything is a maybe.
Because you are not absolutely sure, you are not absolutely sure that if you purchase a one crore rupees car that it is going to sustain with you for the entire life.
We go and ride a motorcycle but we wear a helmet before that because maybe there can be an accident and I may just die within next five minutes.
Every system is based on maybe.
So how can you be so sure that whatever you are doing is right?
Everything.
If you can point out a single thing to me that is absolutely correct and that is death and that's also mentioned in
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
In that scenario, how can you say the life you are living and the things that you are told every single day by videos, YouTube, teachers, friends, companions, your job
Providers, is that right?
No.
But is that wrong?
No.
Somewhere in the middle is their experience that is speaking up.
But what you got to do is, in the midst of this maybes, well I'm telling you the solution here.
Everything is a maybe here.
And everything is based on probabilities.
It might happen, it might not happen.
But in middle of all of this, the best way to escape this plan, to escape this route is to adapt.
Adapt as much as possible.
You can't be stringent, you can't be in a similar position all the time.
Your body can't be stiff at every situation.
You gotta take care of your family, you gotta take care of yourself.
And for that reason you have to adapt.
If you don't like something, make sure you know how to do it.
And trust me, it will work.
If you are in a position where you can help someone, adapt to it.
Even though you are not fine with it, adapt to it and help them.
The better you adapt, the more chances are, in a very linear position, you may pass this test.
called as Life.
The better you adapt, the more chances are you will be successful.
And whether this podcast is of your help, again, it's a maybe.
Thank you so much for listening.
And I hope somewhere down the line you can relate to what I just said.
Life is all about maybes.
It's never an absolute yes, never an absolute no.
No one knows the hard truth which is absolutely correct.
No one knows that.
No one did.
It's only you and it's your vision, it's your perspective which tells you what is right, what is wrong.
You may be right, you may be wrong.
The best way to escape it, adapt.
Thank you for sparing your time
See you in the another one.
