We always have the freewill to choose our thoughts, priorities, emotions, and behaviors. We have to learn to respond, not react in situations. If we can do that, we will live more in sync with the purpose of our life. Beautiful message by Swamiji!
It is a deep message. It is difficult to maintain that state of responsibility consistently. Does JKYog provide any training to improve on that aspect?
No matter what the situation, if we fail, and end up reacting it just means our inaptitude to realize the gap and respond properly! Between Birth & Death, we have innumerable situations and people and we just need to make these proper choices! Thank you Pujya Swamiji!
How did we get trained like that - putting blame on external factors as the reason and source of problems. Is it to upkeep our ego - which might be tied to our self-confidence.
"To Live a Life of Purpose & to Manifest Highest Potential in Our Life, We Need to STOP Reacting to Situations and Choose Our Responses to Them!" Stop Being a SLOT Machine!! Powerful takeaways! For a Higher Purpose in Life, We Must Learn to Choose Wisely, and Respond wisely! Thank You for emphasizing the importance of every choice made at every moment, even though it may seem like a tiny one, as this veers the direction of our life and purpose in tiny bits and eventually will add up to big things in life! Thank You Pujya Swamiji!
Very practical and wonderful message by Swamiji. It is not the circumstances that disturb us , it is our ability how to handle the situation. It is our choice to response or react.
This is the real struggle of our life, to stay in control of our own mind... and we think struggle means working hard on a the job, or raising a family. We need a big change in our attitudes. Thank You #PurposeOfLife
Thank you... Received this message at the right time. Feel disturbed by the violence and looting in South Africa at present. I must choose my response and pray for peace for my country. 🙏
So important to remember to curb the habit of reacting to situations! Just the word "responding" seems to make it so much better...as it makes us feel like there is a moment to think and choose what to do about the situation! Realizing that Gap is so important! With practice, this can be achieved for sure! Thank you for hilarious inspiring stories, Pujya Swmaiji!
Sometimes the same person in different situations or contexts can react Vs. respond! The waiter had a bigger responsibility for customer service whereas the ladies were just being the customer and exercising that right to complain/scream. Choosing Response Vs. Reaction, no matter what situation or which people is the key! Thank you Pujya Swamiji for tieing it up with the Purpose of Life and with living the life of higher potential!
Thank you again for tieing up every choice with a higher purpose and higher path and emphasizing that every choice made poorly can take us downward so easily and we may not even realize it and trivialize it as some situations and people may not matter or seem important enough! Ultimately, we are creating our own downward path with every choice! It is about us and not others!
me listening to this sir everyday n get motivated i had fight with my parents n now i realised that reacting harshly with others will get a harsh response being calm n has ability to control problems would be a great one
I will try to stay calm and will make sure that I believe myself the most and find happiness inner side.No bad situation can make me angry or unhappy. Thanks for the reminder and inspiration.😊🙏
"Do not react - but respond" This is such a foundational behavioral pattern we should have been taught from a very early age. Why have we been bereft of such type of mind training. There is so much focus on academic achievements but the society is oblivious to the dire need for training of the mind. No wonder - the happiness index has gone so down low despite exponential increase in material opulence. Thank you for giving us this precious wisdom!
When we react instead of responding, we are choosing to act like a "slot machine"! We are giving up our ability to choose our response. Got to remember this :). STOP Being a SLOT Machine! LOL :). A fun way to remember and implement!
In any given situation, good or not so favorable, we have the option to either react or respond! Such an important point which we don't pay attention on an everyday basis.
Grateful for the good humored commentary by Swami Mukundananda ji about how to get beyond screaming and shouting and instead to use our God given ability to choose a purposeful response. Like the stories about cockroach at restaurant table and the one about new wife in new family!
This video clip is filled with profound wisdom. Swamiji beautifully says that our emotions do not have to be controlled by external circumstances. How we handle challenging situations is up to us. Our inability to cope with external situations is what causes inner agitation, making us react rather than respond. Thank you for the gems of wisdom, Swamiji. #PurposeOfLife
Our happiness depends not on our circumstances but our choices we make. So when we’re reacting we’re forfeiting our ability to choose our response. These lines should be written on stones, thank you Swamiji🙏🙏🙏
Between life and death - which are pre-determined - we get opportunities to make millions of choices - that will set course for our incremental growth. Profound! Thank You for the #PurposeOfLife series. So inspiring and refreshing!
Our inability to handle situations causes chaos in our life. We need to stop reacting to the situations by choosing to respond. We have freedom to choose. Thanks Swami Ji for explaining and showing us the importance of incremental growth.
Thank you for this much-needed topic! We falter and mess up in extreme scenarios and looking forward to the tips to handle things better! How to respond in the tough times is so practically essential!
Such an inspiring video that is so very helpful for anyone. SwamiJi explains so flawlessly how to execute how to respond and not react to circumstances and situations that arise!
Beautiful message....we should stop reacting to situations and choose our response. Thank you Swamiji 🙏🙏🙏. Whoever is listening to the videos of Swamji, please subscribe and forward the link to others. This is not like an advertisement, just as a seva so that many people can be benefitted in life.
In order to live a Life of purpose and to manifest highest potential in our life ,we need to stop reacting situations and choose to respond them. Swamiji has emphasized the importance of every choice made at every moment, how it veers the direction of our life. The explanations of Swamiji are Superb.
The easiest way is to complain and blame others and their surroundings. But it is not our circumstances that leads to chaos but our inability to cope with the situations.
I am so glad that i am learning the truth about mindset at 18. This planet earth has 7.7 billion people on earth , out of that 1.71M are the subscriber of swami g and i am one of them. Thank you so very much for this soo precious knowledge
Well said, it's not the circumstances that come to us lead to our chaos, but our inability to handle them, our own ineptitude to cope with the situation. Very often, little things disturb us because we make the mistake of reacting to them, not responding to them. Our birth is not in our hand and the circumstances that cause our death are also not in our hand. But between B and D, comes C - our choices that we are free to make. So, to live a life of purpose and manifest the highest potential in our life, let's stop reacting to situations and choose our responses to them well.
In the 3rd day of series Swamiji says to live a life of purpose and manifest the highest potential in our life. We need to stop reacting to situation and choose our response to them. We do have the freedom to choose but every choice brings with it consequence that we must bear.. Brilliant explanation by Swamiji. Thanks Swamiji
The example of cockroach given by Swamiji is a wonderful example. It is our ability or inability how to overcome a difficult circumstances. Along with that I do practise prayer with breathing in and out. Which is a inspiration for my own growth.
Really swamiji, when we behave harshly to others, in other words, we are choosing that others will behave us harshly, we are responsible for our circumstances
To live a better life, it is important to follow the second divine law: Law of Incremental growth! To be successful, we always have the opportunity to make a choice which is to respond and NOT react!
Often common people facing issue of choosing the right profession / job We never look inside just following others & getting failure By this speech, it opened my inner eyes
Looks like swamiji knows what we need at the right time. His videos are inspiring and solving many of the issues of daily life. Thank you a lot swamiji. Really grateful to your videos. 😇🙏
Our happiness depends on choosing the right choices not the external circumstances. So simple amazing example of cockroach given by swamiji to understand easily. Thank you Swamiji.
Very inspiring video. Swamiji clearly explained how we realise our potential to choose right decission in adverse situation to control emotion agitation and response positivity in life. Try to handle and focus on our activities to choose law of incremental growth.
Jai Gurudev !!! What matters alone is how we are responding to life. Our response is a function of what is happening inside of us. That alone determines our progress and success in life. The way we see our problems is a function of our spiritual evolution. The way we see our problem determines our response. The way we respond determines our Karma. Our karma then results in creating circumstances in our life that bring up the same problems over and over again.
Wonderful lecture. God put us in adverse situation so that we can utilize our power of response and move ahead towards the highest purpose of our life.
So inspiring message. It is our inability to respond to situations that create problems. It is a life skill to be acquired in order to lead a purposeful life by exercising our free will in responding to situations.
Very inspiring. Changing the lifestyle of so many people and solving the problems in daily lives. Our nature of mind is always reacting to the situations. Swamiji helped us a lot to make our minds how to better respond to the situations, not to react them suddenly. It is a divine power given us by swamiji. If we remember this always in every situation then we grow up incrementally and one day really reach our highest goal❤❤
Situations in life are never same .It is how we react to it. Positive attitude gives calmness and negative attitude brings so much trouble . Cockroach example is so good how the waiter and other people reacted to it .
Thank you swamiji for the motivational inspiring story's. We can choose how to deal with any situation instead of reacting.our Happiness depends on our thoughts not external circumstances. thoughts
True words,we should develop ability to handle the situation so that no one could hurt us or affect our peaceful life.we should live our life in our own parameters not our happiness should depend on others,if God has given us a seperate life.
Let me choose how to respond to every unwanted situation rather than reacting. I have learnt a lot, i rarely get angry to people now. Thank you Swamiji🙏🙏
Swamiji nicely explained "Law of incremental growth which states personal excellence and life mastery can only by achieved by consistent" small steps of incremental improvement
We always have the freewill to choose our thoughts, priorities, emotions, and behaviors. We have to learn to respond, not react in situations. If we can do that, we will live more in sync with the purpose of our life. Beautiful message by Swamiji!

"Let us Learn The Art of Responding to Life!" Awesome opening statement!
We only know how to react.. so thought provoking.

The two very inspiring stories that Swamiji has related were so inspiring including the one about Sundhar Pichai was awesome!
Swamiji's explanation of how we are supposed to react to situations in life is very helpful in our current day lives!

Wish we learnt this earlier in life. Wonder why the children and Youth are not exposed to such wisdom. Life would be so much better.
No matter what the external situation is , we always have the free will to choose our thoughts and respond positively. Beautiful message by Swamiji.
Swamiji, your teachings remind us to embrace life's uncertainties with grace and inner strength. Thank you for this enlightening message.
What an amazing series is the 'Purpose of Life' - great sessions to kickstart the new year! Thank you, Swamiji!

The easiest way is to complain and blame others and their surroundings. But it is not our circumstances that leads to chaos but our inability to cope with the situations.
So very true, we often blame people and things.
Very true and we must strive to remember this every moment! Just thinking about it brings so much serenity and peace to mind!

Often common people facing issue of choosing the right profession / job
We never look inside just following others & getting failure
