Inner and Outer Management - Sadhguru

if we want to live well both externally and internally how well we live here simply depends on how well we manage our surroundings and how well we manage ourselves fundamentally life is management if you don't know how to maintain your body your mind your emotion your situations your life in general your home your communities Nations and the world the quality of our life is just how well we man manage things with ourselves but generally we are thinking of management we applying ourselves to management only in terms of business management or industry management or generally we're talking management only with economic situations not life as a whole in many ways it's unfortunate that today the most predominant factor that rules the planet has become economics the other aspects of Life have been totally pushed to the K when economics is the only thing that we are thinking about we will tend to become very gross and unhappy in so many ways what I see is you know we are conducting various levels of programs to very top level Executives in some big corporations in the world major corporations in the world what I see is uh people who have failed in their lives they're suffering their failure people who have succeeded in their life they're suffering their success if you suffer your failure it's okay because failure comes easy if you suffer your success that is tragedy because success doesn't come easy so something that you worked for something that you always longed for something that you wanted to create in your life when it happens if you start suffering that that's real tragedy of life but a large number of successful people on the planet are suffering their success when I say suffering their success if you look at people look at your yourself and see you're still young people most of you when you're 5 years of age how happy you were and today how happy you are if we make a chart out of it a graph out of it is it moving upward or downward in 24 hours time how many moments are you really happy if you look at this is it going up or down down so that means you're a bad manager because after all everything that you did in your life is in Pursuit of Happiness isn't it all that you're doing in your life you're doing it because you believe that is your happiness you educate yourself you pursue careers you build families you run after your Ambitions so many things you do because somewhere you believe fulfilling those things will bring you happiness after doing all that if happiness is not multiplying it is going down that means you are a bad manager of yourself anybody who does not know how to manage his own body his own mind his own emotion and his energies if he's managing outside situations he's only managing them by accident not by intent the way he wants it because if you do not know how to manage your mind how to manage your energies how to manage your interiority managing the outside is bound to be accidental when you manage situations by accident you exist as an accident when you exist as an accident you are a potential Calamity when you exist as a potential Calamity being anxious all the time time becomes a natural part of life anywhere you go today people are talking Stress Management I could not understand why anybody wants to manage a stress I can understand you want to manage your business your Finance your family your property whatever but why would you want to manage stress it took me a while to understand these people have come to the conclusion that there is no other way to live somehow people have come to the conclusion that if you do things in the world you're bound to be stressful what one is not stressful because of what they're doing one is stressful because he's a bad manager of himself he doesn't know how to manage his own systems that is why he's stressful it is not the nature of the job which makes one stressful you ask a chapari he's also stressful you ask the top executive he's also stressful everybody believes their job is stressful no job is stressful if you have no control over your own systems you will be stressful whether you do something or you don't do anything is it it true see management means fundamentally management means we want to decide the course of our destiny that's management isn't it we don't want to live here by accident we want to take our lives where we want to go that's management isn't it so if you're managing by accident you not a manager without you things will run better so once you say I'm a manager that means somewhere you have decided that you want to go in a particular way you want to have a certain kind of situation ation both Inward and outward so everybody is a manager in his own capacity but in different levels and different types whether you manage a kitchen where you cook for four people or you might manage a large industry where 10,000 people work fundamentally if you want to have a good kitchen or a good industry you must be a good manager of that situation isn't it so whether you're managing a little kitchen or a large industry if you want to manage outside situations generally you will have to manage material and people around you if you have to manage 10 people or 10,000 people around you you have to manage 10 minds or 10,000 Minds around you but if you have no management over your own mind you managing 10,000 Minds is going to be a disaster in the process of doing something if we are destroying human beings which is happening right now in the process of managing a situation the man is broken then this kind of management is no good because after all every management that we do is only for human well-being if we are doing management for human well-being in the process of doing something in the process of managing situations it is not only about producing something or making profit human beings should rise to their full potential if we manage a situation properly in simple process of working you and the people who are working with you should be able to raise to their full potential when I say rising to full potential not just work potential but as human beings they must be able to rise to their full potential if people work together then people should be able to rise to the peak of their love peace compassion within themselves if this doesn't happen then it's bad management because all management the basic intent is human well-being if that is not happening you're just producing something you're making little profit but human beings are getting broken in the process it doesn't mean anything so if this kind of management has to happen that just in managing a business you find people around you raised to their Peak then you have to spend a certain amount of time in focusing on your inner management if this doesn't happen you will only manage situations by accident a lot of people have understood management as a way of throwing their weight around can I tell you a joke are you okay h day a lion was really feeling great within himself he just was walking and a little rabbit was going he caught him and rode at him who is the king of the jungle the little rabbit terrified said you you of course you he let him go swaggered around a little bit then he found a fox caught him who is the king of the jungle oh my lord it's you of course nobody else but you then he sag swaggered around a little bit caught a few more animals everybody's screamed out of fear you are the king of the jungle then he was in full swagger like a manager king of the jungle walked into a clearing in the jungle there there was a huge tusker standing he went stood in front of him and asked who is the king of the jungle the tusker took his trunk rolled him up picked him up twirled him around smashed him to the ground his back broke then the lion said you could have just told me but the tusker said you see I had to make my point so a lot of people generally are thinking management means just throwing their weight around throwing your weight around is not management any fool can do that if you manage a situation not just things happening there people should feel elevated just being in that space otherwise it is not management above all if you go to your place and you manage a situation you must feel wonderful being there if that doesn't happen you're not a good manager so if this has to happen you need an inner Dimension when I say inner Dimension what is inner Dimension when I say you know I'm not just talking about the body or the mind because both this body and mind you gathered from outside in certain ways isn't it for example this physical body when you were a child this body was only this much now it's become this much how did this happen how did it happen how did all this body happen food that you ate isn't it what you call as my body body is actually a heap of food that you gathered what you call as food is just a piece of Earth that you convert it into foot and make it into body isn't it so this body is just a heap of food that you gathered over a period of time what you call as my mind is a heap of Impressions that you gathered from outside now you have a heap of food and a heap of Impressions if this much Gathering has to happen something more than this must exist isn't it if you're capable of gathering such a large body and so much mind there must be something more fundamental than this but that never comes into your experience you just lost in these two heaps trying to make some sense out of it now as there is a science as there is a management science for external well-being there is a management for science for inner well-being it is just that most of the time we have not approached it scientifically we just believing by doing something somehow everything will be okay right now people people are thinking by educating themselves they will live happily ever after which you will discover after some time it's not so by getting a job they think they're going to be happy ever after which you will Discover it is not so by making money you think you're going to be happy ever after you will Discover it is not so somebody thinks by getting married they're going to be he after and they know it is not so so you're trying to somehow fool yourself into believing that by doing something everything will be okay though repeatedly it has Let You Down Still you believe that something else some other Miracle will make everything okay it will not be okay it once happened on a certain day a bull and a pheasant were grazing on the field you know a bull pheasant a bird the bull was grazing on the grass the Pheasant was picking ticks off the bull their Partners you know then the Pheasant looked at a huge tree which was at the edge of the field and very nostalgically sad alas there was a time when I could fly to the topmost branch of the tree but today I do not have the strength even to fly to the first branch of the tree the bull very nonchalant said that's no problem eat a little bit of my dong every day you will see within a fortnight's time you will reach the top of the tree the Pheasant said oh come off it how is that possible the bull said really please try and see the whole humanity is on it you could try to very hesitantly The Peasant started picking at the dong and low on the very first day it reached the first branch of the tree in a fortnight's time it reached the topmost branch of the tree it just went and sat in the topmost branch and just looking at the scenery enjoying it the old farmer saw a fat old pheasant on the top of the tree he took out his shotgun and shot him off the tree so the moral of the story is even can get you to the top but never lets you stay there so if you're seeking a life of fulfillment if you're seeking a life of joy and peace and well-being within yourself don't try to bully yourself in some way you must do the right thing otherwise it won't work now that your managers are to be managers probably definitely I hope they have taught you that unless you do the right thing it doesn't work with outside the same goes with the inside unless you do the right thing it just doesn't work you may just bull yourself to believe that this will make me all right that will make me all right yes for a moment but the next moment you crash please see successful people unsuccessful people just look at their lives and see in 24 hours how many moments are they really joyful how many you go on the street and see how many joyful faces do you see on the street very very few isn't it so yes if you see any usually they are young faces over 30 faces are all long faces what's happened to them for most of them their lives have worked out far better than they ever imagined if you look at yourself as a generation never before another generation of people have been this comfortable and this well physically as you are right now isn't it so we are the most comfortable generation no other generation has known these kind of Comforts and conveniences but still are we any happier than what people were this is simply because we did not do inner management we just did external management no inner Management in the process of creating what we want the very source of our life this planet we just destroying isn't it in pursuit of our happiness we are just making a bonfire out of this planet but still we are not satisfied nor are are we any Jo more joyful than what we were 500 years ago as people were isn't it so somewhere we have neglected the interiority so to turn inward what is needed one reason why most young people here that never made any effort to turn inward PE because today any thinking person the moment he can read ABC speak English and he has extra alphabets next to his name he develops an allergy towards anything spiritual this is not your fault the so-called spiritual people have made such Jokers out of themselves they have presented spirituality in such terrible ways rediculous ways that anybody who has any sense doesn't want to go anywhere near it see a spiritual it means to know something which is beyond the physical right now if you exist as a physical entity as a body as a mind because both these things are accumulations from outside whatever happens outside will happen inside if what happens outside begins to happen within you all the time then you being peaceful and happy is always accidental because it doesn't matter who you are how powerful you are how great a manager you are external situations will never be 100% in your control that's the nature of the life even if you're just two people in the family till you don't have absolute control over the situation isn't it so as the scope and play of your life increases you have less and less control over the situations in which you live that's the reality of life so if whatever is happening outside is happening within you you being peaceful and happy in your life is a far away thing it's never going to happen only when a person begins to experience a dimension beyond the physical within himself self then he can play with the physical world whichever way he wants he can do the best that he can do with the outside world but the interiority is undisturbed always the way you want it the outside world will not happen the way we want it 100% at least the inner World should happen the way we want it isn't it so the outside will never happen 100% the way we want that's the reality of life but at least this one should happen the way we want it if this is also not happening the way you want it if your body if your mind if your emotions if your energies are not functioning the way you want it then this is the worst kind of slavery because somebody else decides what should happen within you if somebody else decides what should happen around you that itself you call it slavery isn't it so yes are we in talking terms or no oh that's fine if somebody decides what should happen around you that itself you call a slavery but if someone decides what should happen within you is it not a more horrible way of being asep but Lee see the whole world is in it the only consolation is everybody is like this now that you're learning management as a science I would like you to understand there is a whole science of inner management if you don't learn that you may manage businesses you may manage industry but still you will not live a life of fulfillment and well-being if you want to live a life of fulfillment and well-being and offer the same to people around you it's a extremely important you know what it means to manage your interiority human lives becomes beautiful not because we do the right things human lives become beautiful because we put our heart into what we're doing it doesn't matter what we're doing whether we SLE sweeping the floor or managing the country or what we are doing if we are putting our heart into what we are doing it's beautiful to be doing that activity now that you're stepping into the world not that you don't know but anyway now you're stepping into the world in a different dimension than the the way you have been till now once you step into the world there's going to be a lot of fil there is corruption there is nonsense there is so many things happening everywhere there are some set of people a certain set of people who will develop an allergy for this fil they can't stand it they usually run to the Himalayas because they're allergic to filth they can't take it they want everything pure but such a thing will not happen because the filth of the world has one way or the other has entered our minds whether we Empire that fil or not is all the option that we have but they cannot avoid fil it is there all the nonsense that can happen in the world you know in your head isn't it so one set of people develop allergy and try to run away which they can never do really another set of people a large segment of people unfortunately have come to their own kind of philosophies anywh that is world is full of Filth let me also become filth so they have joined that they are merged into the filth what we call a fil can also be great menual F if the atmospheres that we live in make us we cannot call ourselves managers if we make the atmospheres that we live in only then we can call ourselves managers being a manager means that we are going to create whatever we see as the most beautiful thing to happen right now allowing situations to create you is not management at all creating the situations that we want is management as many of them have said many things this process of Education there is a certain acceleration now that education is over you're stepping into a new dimension of Life the excitement and you know it's always beautiful to step into something new that you believe is going to be wonderful but what we have seen with life with most people is now let's say somebody got a job the first day when they went and sat behind this table this table was the most fantastic place in the world but but within a few years behind the same table they're manufacturing blood pressure diabetes ulcers and whatnot this is not because there is something wrong with the jobs that we do this is not because there is something wrong with the world that we live in it is simply because we have not paid sufficient attention to ourselves we have paid too much attention to what is outside to succeed in the world people are always thinking great aspirations will make you successful aspiration is just an initial starting point just because you aspired for Success just because you aspired for Prosperity just because you aspired for well-being it doesn't happen success Prosperity well-being happens because you have made yourself capable of creating those things everybody aspires who is not aspiring for success in the world everybody is aspiring even a beggar on the street is trying to be a successful beggar isn't it so every human being is aspiring for it but only those who have made themselves capable will succeed making yourself capable not only in terms of management skills and other things but that is needed too but making yourself capable as a human being to go through situations untouched to be like a lotus flower even if you're in the filthiest of situations to maintain your beauty and fragrance if one has this he will float through this life untouched if one doesn't have it life will eat him up in so many ways it's my wish and my blessing that this new set of managers will manage this world this country this community and the business and commerce which is part of our existence today in the world in a much better way than the previous generations of people have done because externally we are better equipped than ever before if we make a little effort it's a fortune that an institution has made an effort to equip you internally to whatever extent it was possible for them if you equip yourself for internal management also I am sure that these group of people and many more who will pass out of this institution should definitely manage this world this nation and the communities much much better than the way it's been done till now when it comes to management there's no such thing as perfect management it is just that if people give themselves absolutely to what they're doing things will happen I know you need to learn about Finance this that Banking and those kind of things but fundamentally management is your ability to be capable of inspiring people to do their best and that's all we can do if everybody around us are doing their best that's the best possible management that can happen so this is not going to come with manipulation this is only going to come with dedication this is only going to come with love this is only going to come because you are willing to give yourself 100% to the person who is next to you at that moment or is is all this possible is it not all utopian you think this is the reality in the corporate sector it doesn't matter what kind of person you meet if you just learn to touch the core of his Humanity then you see every human being is willing to do his best for you always if you just learn how to touch the very core of a human being who is around you right now you will see everybody is willing to do lay their lives down for you only if people are around you love you and they want to do the best for you you will not get ulcers doing management if people around you are trying to pull you down you will anyway get alers trying to manage situations if you do not create the people who truly love us and wanting to give their best then management is going to be a pain management is going to be a huge suffering only when people around us really want to do the best for you only then management can happen wonderfully it's my wish and my blessing that all of you you turn out as truly great managers of yourself and the world around you our lives become beautiful not because of what we do our lives becomes beautiful simply because we have included everybody around us as a part of our dream of well-being
