Question: Sadhguru, my dreams are big, and I hope that they will be all too well. But I am not a person who easily dissolves with others, and I am scared to face the world. After finishing college, how do I try to fulfill my dreams?
Sadhguru: When people sleep, then they dream. I am telling you, make your dream a little late. Now, by looking at a dream do not decide what you will become in the world - because it is very fast now.
At the time of three to five years you will be a completely different person. In reality, from today to tomorrow, although these changes may not feel, but something will change. So, you do not have to think today that 'what will I do in the world'? Because today you will be able to decide a very small, modest dream. At the moment, your job is to get as much as you can, to get as much as possible. Become a fully developed human - physically, mentally, emotionally and at the level of your intelligence. You should become as much as you can at every level.
Preparing for rat race
In a way dream or ambition means you are thinking of some kind of race. These days it is called a rat race. It is mainly in Rat Race that who is better than who. You have to become a rat to join. This is a leap forward behind the gradual development process. If you win, then you can become a super-rat, but you will be the mouse. Do not think, 'Where will I live, how far or back from someone?' This time is to get as much as possible. Right now you do not have time to grow up. It's just time to break the flower and just grow.
If you want to win a race, it will not happen just by wanting. You have to make a perfect machine. You have a Maruti 800 but you are thinking of winning Formula One race. You can dream as much as you want, how Louis Hamilton was trying to overtake you, but with your Maruti 800 you went ahead! You can see all those dreams, but if you try to do something on the track, your Maruti's four wheels will fly in four different directions.
Do not try to win the race. Just create a good machine - this is the most important one. Thinking about winning in the race means that you are thinking back and thinking, 'Someone is behind me.' If there is a group of fools around you and you are winning the race then you will be a better fool - just that. Never think like this. The desire to be superior to someone is a wrong direction which has been fixed for the entire human race. It will keep you in every turn. Most of all, if you are enjoying someone's failure, then it is a disease.
Maybe something you have not even dreamed about
What should you do in the world? You should do what is most necessary, not what you think in the mind. Whatever is in your mind, it can be useless for the world. Then what does it mean to do? A lot of people have done what they think and ruined the world in many ways. If we make it happy, we will get expression and people will be gathered and support that activity - then we will get success.
So let your dreams go for a while because dreams come from previous experiences of life. Our future should not have any connection with our past, otherwise we will recycle the past and think that this is the future. Most people take care of a future by taking a piece of the past, decorating it, understanding the future itself, which is a little better.
The future should be new. You can not see whose dream you are in your life - this is my blessing. You can not even imagine it, it is If you can see the dream, what is the benefit of that? You can dream of that which you know. If you know what happens, then it is a worthless life. Let something happen, you can not see the dream right now - then life will be exciting.
