Sadhguru: We think the only way to do
business is, cutting each other’s throat.
No, we are beginning to understand
- more than competition…a whole lot of competitors,
die-hard competitors are today all cooperating
with each other, collaborating with each other.
A collaboration, a collaborative process is a far
more powerful process than a competitive process.
It’s a wrong idea that only when you are
pushed to the wall, you’ll do your best.
It is a very wrong idea.
You tell me, when does your body
and brain work at your best?
Does it work at its best when you are joyful, peaceful?
Or does it work at your best when
you are pushed to the wall?
Human potential is at its best only when there is a
certain level of pleasantness within the human being.
And people who are taking
positions of power and responsibility,
have this responsibility that they must do this.
To put it in a very simplistic manner, see if
I meet any of you when you are very happy,
I am sure you are wonderful people.
But If I happen to meet you when you are angry,
frustrated, miserable about something,
you could be nasty, isn’t it?
Yes or No?
This is true with every human being.
So when you raise… when you rise to
a position of power and responsibility,
the first and foremost thing is just this, that you have
to make yourself into an extremely pleasant being.
Because if you become blissful and pleasant, you
will naturally do your best to everything around you.
There is no other way for a human being.
Joy is an insurance, that’s all I am saying.
