Two major problems we all face our identity crisis and self-doubt and
self-doubt especially legs as women so what advice can you give us doubt is a
very good thing only a fool is dead sure of everything
only idiots are dead sure of what they're doing either you must be an
idiot or you must be a fanatic then you're dead sure otherwise every moment
there is a doubt about everything it's a good way to live
confidence see we'll come to that doubt means you have an active intelligence
constantly looking at everything of all possibilities because there is nothing
here in the world which is 100% yes or 100% no you are always looking for
pluses and minuses and seeing how to gather more pluses and act is there a
hundred percent plus in the world or is there a hundred percent minus in the
world there is no such thing is there anybody here who is 100 percent + 100 %
- absolutely wonderful and absolutely nasty no they're like that so this is
always there only thing is doubt is good you must encourage doubt within yourself
otherwise you will either become a fanatic for a fool thinking you have
attained to certain 80 no doubt is good but you must be joyfully confused okay
if you get confused you make yourself miserable that's the problem
if you joyfully confuse like me you have no issue because you constantly nurtured
confusion now out of that after much doubt and considering considering
everything in the universe slowly clarity arises now you talked
about confidence confidence is a terrible thing because confidence means
without clarity you have attained to certainty
confidence is the first step towards fanaticism
you will see nobody's or as confident as a fanatic isn't it because you become a
one-track mind you never questioned yourself you never questioned your
actions you never questioned your thoughts and emotions you just become
certain so this kind of certainty is of no use this will come because you
believe something you simply believe something believing something gives you
confidence but not clarity but you will walk through the world negotiate this
world well only when there is clarity not when there is confidence confidence
is a way of blundering through life see right now if you want to walk through
let's say one of the rows between two rows let's say your vision is not clear
but you have confidence what will you do hello please tell her if somebody whose
vision is not clear walk through one of these two between these two rows what
will they do they will step on everybody's feet but they're confident
right now this is what is happening people who believe in absolutism about
everything they are confident they know they're doing the right thing and going
to heaven it doesn't matter what horrendous things they create yes or no
they are dead sure I'm sorry they are not dead unfortunately they are so sure
that they are going straight to heaven they know in which direction heaven is
you know yeah yeah but the planet is round you are sitting approximately at
probably 12 degrees latitude and it's spinning so if you look up inevitably
you looking up in the wrong direction that is not something that they will
consider they know this is the way to heaven but the earth is spinning always
pointing in the wrong direction isn't it but they are dead sure because they
believe this is it so confidence is a very bad thing that's been nurtured in
people what you need is clarity clarity needs work
upon yourself it will not come simply like that that you expressed doubt about
everything and consider and consider and consider constantly slowly CAC clarity
will rise out of that because you see clearly you have clarity confidence you
don't have to see clearly just like that you believe you're right then you're
confident confidence is a terrible substitute for clarity
please bring clarity into your lives if you are a confident or you're not
engineering engineering manager if you're a confident manager without
clarity you will be a blundering fool with people yes but if you have clarity
you don't have to claim you're a manager everybody will line up behind you to ask
what to do next because they see clarity in you
Thank You Satoru my next question is on courage or bravery as a child I was I've
always heard that three important aspects of life are education will and
courage in some way we say Calvi Selvam theorem so as students of IIT Madras the
education aspect is taken care we also believe that the wealth part will be
taken care once we graduate from IIT Madras courage becomes a question mark
could you give me some insights on courage see when you do something beyond
a little bit of reason you call it courageous but when somebody else does
does the same thing we think he's stupid he's risking his life okay when we step
back from something we call it caution when somebody else step back we say is a
coward so this courage business is a very relative thing what is courage what
is not courage the question is just this
if you there are some people who are capable of walking into situations
without knowing a thing about it okay but whether they can walk out of it
or not is a big question mark again I'm going back to the same thing if you had
absolute clarity about everything you would know how to act in that situation
or whatever that is and you would largely know the consequence of that
action if it is a calculated effort and you took the action it may succeed it
may not succeed because there are many factors that you could have overlooked
but if you had enough clarity the chances of success are much much better
but if you just have this veeram in you too much okay
and you took steps because you're courageous when things don't work others
will see that it was the stupidest thing to do so you must understand you will be
attributed with all kinds of qualities positive qualities as long as you're
successful the moment you fail people will see the same things that they said
was courageous they will say after five years he is an utter fool what a thing
he has done to himself and to everybody so the important thing is the purpose of
human action is success it doesn't matter whether it's a big thing or a
small thing that you do if you don't talk to the children if you
if you take any kind of action which produces positive result then people say
you're intelligent alright maybe you're not maybe it was just chance but they
will say you're intelligent because most of the world is not able to recognize
anything other than success it is not the best way to live but that is the
reality this is what we have done to lie that we are too much result oriented not
process oriented if our processes are right results will come but because
we're in such a hurry for results we are too result-oriented
because of that we build this kind of cities which no process only I built you
out I built my house you built your house everybody appreciated clapped
their hands and said oh he has got his own house
it's a it's a disaster for the city but I got my own house all right so this
excessively success oriented society he's dangerous because we will miss all
the processes will bypass processes and do things
ad hoc it may succeed see anything will succeed 50% of the time even if you
don't know what the hell you're doing yes if you're playing cricket with your
eyes closed also if you swing the bat you may hit it alright
so 50% of the time lot of things may happen by chance but that is not what
young people should depend on you must build a process within yourself which is
reliable it doesn't matter somebody approves it disapproves it whether the
world approves it or disapproves it whether it appreciates or depreciates it
doesn't matter you built a solid process for yourself that it's always always
reliable for you if you do this if there's an opportunity in the world
maybe it'll become a big success otherwise maybe it will be something
like that but you will have the beauty of always standing and firm ground
within yourself never struggling with anything that happens to you in your
life this is what you must build success in the world
come depending upon what the world is ready for I was the same person 40 years
ago but at that time everybody thought I'm no good but today they think I'm a
great mystic yogi nonsense whatever okay because not because they experience Who
I am because everywhere is recognized they are also clapping their hands
that's all so what the flock says it doesn't matter have you built an
appropriate process which has absolute integrity within itself and clarity is
the basis of your process if you have done this it doesn't matter whether the
world accepts you or not you are successful because as a human being
you're successful you are successful in the world or not depends on what the
world is ready for right now
