Acharya Prashant (AP): You may plan to go and meet somebody, will you also plan how to hug him and what all to say to him? Will you also plan that?
Now, what is essential, the time at which you meet him, or the time that you spend with him?
Listen clearly, what is more important – the time at which you meet him, suppose 4:30 pm. Is that ‘4:30 pm’ the real thing or is the time that you spend with him the real thing?
Questioner (Q): The time that I spend with him.
AP: 4:30 pm can be planned out. In fact, you must plan it out. Otherwise, you will reach at 4:30, he will come at 7:30 and then there will be a great problem. So, that 4:30 pm is alright, plan it out.
Q: Sir, let’s take a situation. You have planned to come to this session to speak to us, and while coming here, you meet an old friend of yours on the road. As you say, planning is not very important, so you dump the plan, and spend time with your friend instead. Then what will happen to this session?
AP: Then the session won’t take place. My friend may be more important to me.
