So let me start off Sadguru by asking you that you probably are the biggest multi-tasker that I have met in my life.

0:23.0

You are into sharing wonderful things with people, millions of people, and you find the time to play golf.

0:33.0

And you write a motorcycle like a champion. I don't know what all you do. How do you manage your time?

0:42.0

The last thing is not a good thing. I don't know what all you do.

0:48.0

No, that is the sense of amazement. And there are people who are very busy people, so we believe we are very busy people.

0:56.0

We would like to know as to how you manage your time and what is the kind of advice you would like to give us so that life beyond work is a lot more meaningful,

1:07.0

at least a little more meaningful than what we lead, a little closer to the kind of meaningful life that you lead.

1:14.0

From what I observe, from people, as I travel more and more, meet various kinds of people in business, academic, science, and regular people all over the world.

1:34.0

What I see is, most people in the 24 hours that we have per day, they are more preoccupied than busy.

This is mainly because they have been given a phenomenal gadget or a phenomenal machine, which is the human mechanism.

3:07.0

without reading the user's manual, every day struggling with their own stuff, and it doesn't get solved before they're 20 or something.

3:19.0

Till the last day on their deathbed, they're still struggling with the same things, their thoughts and their emotions.

3:26.0

If they learn to sort this out very early in their life, I'm sure they can work half the number of hours that they're working and be a lot more productive than the way they are right now.

3:40.0

My effort is to bring this possibility to people's lives that you can live life with ease, not with struggle.

3:53.0

One thing is when we say work, it's a many young people, wonderful people who are getting recognized for whatever wonderful things they have done,

4:05.0
