Time Management

True yoga is not primarily about physical postures but about examining the ego, attachments, and motivations that shape one’s life. While the body can be trained and displayed, real discipline lies in honestly questioning desires, ambitions, and borrowed goals. Techniques and routines alone cannot bring inner freedom. Yoga begins when one repeatedly investigates who is setting the direction of life and whether that direction has ever been consciously examined.

The Truth cannot be objectified as a thing, place, person, or book. So, don't be too quick to accept your own assessments, judgments, likes, dislikes, and experiences. Whatever you're seeing is seen by "you" — the Ego — and you are no absolute. Everything must be available to enquiry, investigation, and questioning — and questioning cannot happen if you declare that you’ve already come to the Truth. Never believe that the journey has ended or that the ego itself is the Truth.

You must know what is love. How it shapes your life.

पारस में अरु संत में, बड़ो अन्तरो जान। वो लोहा कंचन करे, ये कर दे आप समान।।~कबीर साहब प्रश्नकर्ता: जैसा कि आप कहते हैं, कि जितना जल्दी हो सके अपने को पूरा अर्पण कर दो, या ख़त्म कर दो, पर यदि इसे समझेंगे और करेंगे, तो अपने अपूर्ण स्थिति…

If you have seriously something worthwhile to do in life, then time is a friend. But if you are just loafing around and you fully well know that you are just killing time, then obviously time is an enemy. Every passing moment reminds you that you are committing a crime…

You have been entrusted with time not so that you while it away.

Somebody once asked the Satan, “How do you corrupt a being?”

He says, “It’s easy. I just whisper into his ears: your time is your time.”

And that’s the assumption we all have bought into: “I have…

We really do not know how to spend a Sunday, but we want to live two hundred years. If you are given one free day, you do not know what to do with it. You start looking here and there, wondering, “What to do? Some free time is there. How…

One of the things in the Japanese manufacturing philosophy is JIT, ‘Just in Time’. They say that inventory hides mistakes, so we will not carry any inventory. Everything has to be just in time. The process has to be lean enough, smart enough, and efficient enough.

For example, a video…

Cooking, cooking, cooking, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, washing, washing, washing—is this what you are born for? Three kids are there, somebody needs footwear, somebody needs underwear—that is all there is to your life? Footwear for the younger one, underwear for the elder one, thermal wear for the husband—is this what you…

One day has infinite time, you know. You are able to say it has twenty-four hours only because you have defined the hour in a particular way.

A day has just twenty-four hours, but how many minutes does a day have? See how time has increased.

Oh, you want even…

People talk of personal time as opposed to professional time, right? They forget that the profession that they have chosen has also been chosen by the person. So, even that which they are mistakenly calling as professional time is only personal time.

Worrying is nothing but an unauthorized concern for results. First of all, it is a concern for results. Secondly, it is an unauthorized concern for results. You are trying to speculate about something you are not authorized to think about. You have no authorization, no locus standi to think about…

Don’t you see you are bound to have a midlife crisis after forty? Why? Because of the ways you have gone through your youth. The most wasteful period of one’s life is often the time between twenty and thirty-five.

You are at the peak of your powers between, let’s say,…

समय तुम्हें इसलिए दिया गया है ताकि समय से आगे जा सको। शरीर तुम्हें इसलिए दिया गया है ताकि शरीर से आगे जा सको। शरीर इसलिए नहीं दिया गया है कि शरीर ही को बचाए पड़े हो, “और दो-सौ साल जिएँगे!” जाते-जाते अपना थोड़ा सा अंश छोड़ गए कि, “इसकी …

जितनी ज़िन्दगी जी चुके हैं ये देखा है कैसे पालक झपकते बीत गयी है? अभी स्कूल में थे, कॉलेज में थे, और अभी बच्चे थे आप, यूँ ही मैदान में, गलियों में दौड़-भाग रहे थे। अभी-अभी! ये जो समय बीता है ये कैसे बीता है? ये चुटकी बजाते बीता है।…

जब तुम अपने-आप को बेरोज़गार कहना शुरू कर देते हो, आंतरिक पतन होने लगता है। और वैसे ही पतन होने लगता है उन गृहणियों का जिनके ऊपर अब गृहस्थी की कोई खास ज़िम्मेदारी नहीं है, फिर भी वह घर पर ही बैठी हुई हैं।

मैं समझ सकता हूँ आप काम…

ना संसार से डरो, ना सरकार से डरो, ना डरो दुनिया के तानों से, ना डरो अधूरे अरमानों से, डरो तो बस ज़िंदगी के बर्बाद चले जाने से। घड़ी की टिक-टिक को अपना दोस्त बना लो, हर घण्टे-दो- घण्टे पूछा करो अपने-आप से, “अपने समय का जो मैं ऊँचे-से-ऊँचा, बढ़िया-से-बढ़िया…

कुछ साल मिले हैं जगने के लिए, उसके बाद तो खूब सोना है। तो यह तुम कैसे आदत अभी पाले हुए हो कि, “ज़रा और सो लें एक घण्टा, दो घण्टा”?

भीतर एक चेतना होनी चाहिए, लगातार एक गूंज होनी चाहिए कि, “लंबे पाँव पसार कर के अनंत समय के…

You have to be cautious towards the investment of all your resources. But among all the resources, the prime one is time.

Be careful about everything that you spend. The other things that you spend can be regained—money lost can probably be regained—but there is one resource that is not…

Be mindful of what the company of that person is doing to you. Is it a good investment of your time when you are with him, or could you have expended your time in a better way? What kinds of thoughts does that person introduce in your mind? What kinds…

खाली समय मिला है तो क्या करना है? “चल न! मोहल्ला घूम कर आते हैं, बाज़ार देखकर आते हैं”, या कहीं नहीं जाना तो, “चल न, टीवी देखते हैं।“ ख़ुद को नहीं देखना है!

अपनी हालत क्या है, उससे बिलकुल बचकर रहना है। अपनी हालत का कुछ पता नहीं, टीवी…

तुम वही हो न जो रात में टिकटॉक पर बैठते हो और दो घण्टे लगा देते हो सोने से पहले? ये तुम्हारे समय की कीमत है! तुम्हारे समय की कीमत होती, तो तुम सोशल मीडिया पर इतना समय कैसे लगा रहे होते? तुम्हारे समय की कीमत होती तो तुम अपने…

Immerse yourself in the right action, and then where is the space and the time to worry? Surely you are stealing time away from work so that you can indulge in worries and anxieties and fancies of all kinds.

Young people fantasize, don’t they? Some fantasize about beautiful, pretty, exciting…

You are the one who is allotting time, and you allot time according to your values. You are spending time exactly according to your values. Not even a second is spent otherwise. Be convinced, time does not slip away; time strictly follows your values.

If you say, “I don’t know,…

एक ज़िंदगी है, दबे-दबे जीने में क्या मज़ा है भाई? तुम किस चीज़ को सुरक्षित कर रहे हो? जीवन माने समय ही तो होता है न? डरे-डरे समय बिता रहे हो, तो तुमने सुरक्षित किस चीज़ को रख लिया है? समय डर में बिता दिया तो तुमने बचा क्या लिया?…

The yakṣa (demon) asks, “What is the most surprising thing about life?”

Yudhishtira says, “The most surprising thing is that we all know that death is coming, and yet we pretend as if we are immortal.”

Let not death come as a surprise. Live in the remembrance of death every…

A lot of corporate networking is nothing but gossiping. In fact, people feel comfortable with each other only when they can share trivia with each other, which is nothing but gossiping.

You say, “Now I am intimate with that person.” How? Why? “Because, you see, now I can engage in…

Questioner (Q): When we are with our friends on the campus, we usually end up wasting our time doing all kinds of nonsense. It serves no real purpose and takes us nowhere, but we do need to relax sometimes and enjoy ourselves. The problem is that this usually leads to…

Questioner (Q): Yesterday, we were listening to Upanishads. We saw that the disciples were asking a lot of questions: Why are things happening around us and so on. I also get these questions a lot and have been getting these questions for a long time and never have I found…

Questioner: I have listened to some of your talks where future planning has been treated as a form of insecurity. Although I am working now, there is no pension later on; so definitely, I need to plan the expenditure after my retirement. This makes me feel guilty that I don’t…

Questioner (Q): Acharya Ji, it happens many times during the day that there may be happiness in the background, but if any sad event happens then it takes more time to recover to my normal, common state.

मौत को हमेशा याद रखो| मौत की स्मृति को ऐसे पहनो, जैसे तुम अपना पैबंद लगा लिबास पहनते हो| अपने कुंवारेपन को, लिये-लिये जियो| वही रास्ता है तुम्हारा| रास्ते पर चलने का सहारा, जो डंडा लेकर के चलते हो, रास्ते पर चलने…

The UGC regulations are only a spark. The explosive material is something far more intimate: the unexamined conviction, lodged in the deepest chamber of the collective psyche, that birth determines worth and that this determination carries divine sanction. The atmosphere itself is the disease; the regulation is at best a painkiller. India’s foundational scriptures contain the strongest possible arguments against caste. The Upanishadic view begins where hierarchy ends.

ग्रेटर नोएडा। जीबीयू में आयोजित एक कार्यक्रम में पहुंचे आचार्य प्रशांत ने कहा कि महाशिवरात्रि केवल अनुष्ठान का पर्व नहीं, बल्कि यह मनुष्य को अपने भीतर झांकने के लिए प्रेरित करती है। उन्होंने कहा कि शिव को केवल मूर्ति या रूप में सीमित कर देना उनकी व्यापकता को संकुचित करना…

अध्यात्म की रोशनी जीवन के हर क्षेत्र पर पड़ती है, तो राजनीति पर भी पड़ेगी ही पड़ेगी। ऐसा कुछ नहीं है कि आध्यात्मिक आदमी राजनीति के प्रति अंधा हो जाता है। बल्कि हक़ीक़त तो यह है कि राजनीति को आध्यात्मिक लोगों की बहुत सख़्त ज़रूरत है, क्योंकि राजनेता ताक़त की ऐसी गद्दियों पर बैठते हैं, जहाँ से वो आपके जीवन को बहुत तरीके से प्रभावित करते हैं। राजनेता अगर आध्यात्मिक नहीं है, तो देश रसातल में जाएगा। राजनीति त्यागनी नहीं है, सही राजनीति करनी है।https://acharyaprashant.org/en/articles/raajneeti-mein-adhyatm-kyon-zaroori-1_795988a15

How did the Buddha look then? Who is the Buddha? Let’s try to understand with the story of Gautama Buddha, The ‘Shakya Muni Buddha’ as we call him. So, who was he? Let’s look at his central characteristics. One, someone who is well versed in the knowledge of his time. Buddha had deep scriptural knowledge. He was born in a Hindu Kshatriya family, he was a prince and ever since his childhood he was quite talented. So, one thing about him is that he was quite well-read. Second thing is, he was deeply interested in knowing the depths of life. He did not want to remain merely at the superficial levels, so he would observe a lot, he would think a lot. https://acharyaprashant.org/en/articles/todays-buddha-1_4d1b6bf
