SPRIRITUALITY AND MANAGEMENT

ACHARYA SHRI KISHORE VYASJI

as interviewed by pradeep nambiar for sanskar tv

 

What is the purpose of life?

The Youth usually don’t ask these questions but when they ask it means they

are on the path of realization. Such a person will have to ask himself 3

questions

A] Who am I? Am I the body or is the body distinct from the self?

B] How can I unite myself with the all pervading supreme energy that moves the

world? As this will make him stress free as he then knows, that he is not

totally responsible for things happening in his life.

C] How can he devote some time to service of mankind? As service of mankind is

an extension of the work of the lord.

 

B] How do we know our swadharma , our unique talent ?

Earlier when there was Varnashram, knowing your swadharma was easy as you had

to follow the service carried on by your forefathers. Now the way to know your

swadharma is to ask yourself this question. What am I born for? You have to know

your intrinsic tendency and take an employment suitable for that. The other way

is to know your duty and get committed and do it with your total devotion.

{Putra dharma, matru dharma, praja dharma, pitru dharma and raj dharma}.do your

duty wherever you belong.

 

C] What are failures in life?

In life, there are no failures. Every setback is a step towards success.

Setbacks are reason to ponder. The important thing to understand is that you

have to have tremendous self confidence. The Pandavas had their setbacks. Shri

Ram lost Sita for a whole year. But that was to fulfill a greater duty destiny

had for them. Failures are not permanent, be a master of your own field.

 

D] What is success in life?

In Indian philosophy there is no place for luck, prarabdh and daiva . There is

only Purusharth . Only your effort and hard work can get you results. But then

you have to be focused in life. You have to keep yourself healthy both

physically and mentally, keep your mind open to opportunities and move ahead in

life.

 

E] Is our life destiny driven are there any limits?

There are no limits, you have to have confidence and have a direction and not

give up. In the Mahabharata there is a beautiful saying “have a target, work

towards it, you will achieve it provided you will not stop pursuing it.” Do

everything with enthusiasm. Never fall short in giving your best. God wants to

help, everything happens because he wants it to happen

 

Do your duty, there should never be a sacrifice of your duty

Set your character, there should never be a sacrifice of values

Then nothing is impossible.
