How to Unlock Your Innate Genius | Sadhguru Answers

there is something called as a genius in a human being there is a competence here which is capable of what nature did over a million years like that over the afternoon if the necessary striving is there you can make it into your conscious process if you set up the necessary situation success is an assured thing for that person things are big things it doesn't matter in every single act a human being longs to be successful life is an infinite number of doorways if you're very diligent you will open a few of them if you're brilliant you'll open many of them but if you're truly vibrant then they will open for you the process of being successful becomes so complex for people that why they are working towards it is generally completely forgotten and they will start evolving concepts of success all kinds of concepts what is being successful how can i tell you a joke you're looking so serious there was a man in india whose name is sankaran pillai it's like john smith his son came to united states obviously an indian young man means he's a software engineer he went to texas houston and started working there then he fell in love with a white american woman he struggled because back home this love affair is a crime he struggled and struggled and one day told his mother then the mother informed the father and the father exploded he went back home to convince him didn't work because in india if you have to get married they're tracing your family tree for 5000 years they're looking at the genetic purity of the person that you're marrying so somebody from somewhere else a white woman from america how can you marry her what do we know about her genetics where did she come from what is her lineage so no way to convince he came back and of course when he came back again he fell in love and they went ahead then the father disowned sanchez just disowned this and i have nothing to do with you but years went by and they had a boy and the boy's picture from the day he was born it was on the facebook and the wife sticks it in his face and the little baby and it's growing up every day and all the things slowly you know you have disowned the sun but the grandson is a different matter slowly within a matter of one two years he completely fell in love with this little baby that he has not seen things happened and people started coming from america those who are traveling oh you must see your grandson you not seen him oh you must seem this is the fruit of your life slowly it caught him then he decided he's not going to see son's face he'll come to america and only see the grandson's face and of course he's not going to look at that white woman then he came to america and a seven-year-old boy full of energy they're living on a small ranch he's all over the place doing all kinds of things he completely got washed away by this little fellow then this little boy one day said grandpa come and show you my archery skills he took him to the barn inside and he went into the barn and there he saw eight targets all of them with the arrow in the bullseye secretary looked at it and then he thought oh this is my grandson he thought of all the great legendary archers of india you know arjuna and ekalavya and and he saw the future all the olympic gold medals falling from the sky then he asked from what distance did you shoot the boy said from 20 yards what from 20 yards eight targets you shot them dead on bullseye how do you do this and the boy said grandpa first shoot and then paint the target so these concepts about being successful can be very crippling and i've continuously been with people they've reached a certain point of success and their concepts of success and not fitting their life is not fitting into their concept of success and it's breaking it and they think something is going wrong it is not going wrong they're just getting better situations are pushing them on but their concept is breaking up so they are suffering their success you will see any number of people going through these kind of things when we talk about success i'm sure all of you must be already having plans as to how to unfold this success in your life write your plans plan is good but plans again can get caught up in things because you plan from what you know today nobody can plan from something that you do not know you your plan means it is an exaggeration of today as a tomorrow right now you're here at a certain level now you think my plan means this must be ten times more in this many years or whatever or a hundred times a million times or whatever but plan is just essentially an exaggeration of what is today maybe there is a certain logic to it there is a maybe there is certain understanding of the logistic attached to it but essentially is the exaggeration of today that means in many ways it's ruled out whatever other possibilities which are not it in your experience in pennsylvania you heard of the pennsylvania floods pennsylvania has floods you know it once happened a big flood came and water started rising in a small town and it rose up to the you know the house is getting submerged so two young boys got onto the roof of their house and they were sitting there and then they saw a hat going up and down and up and down in front of the house one of the boys asked what is that why is that hat going up and down so the other boy said don't worry it's my dad yesterday night he got into a fight with my mom and took a wow hell or high water i'm going to mow that lawn so plants can be debilitating is good to have a plan but it's more important that you have a purpose if you have a purpose plans will evolve things will happen plans will fall apart new things will come up whatever has to happen will happen if you hold on to a certain purpose other things will just serve that purpose but if you are very committed to a plan as such then plan can become a blueprint for restriction it is also a possibility it's all right to hold a plan but you must hold a plan at a certain distance you shouldn't get identified with the plan the process of success see essentially success is a desire in every human being you can put some fire into it and make it your passion but if it becomes a need within you that you must be successful otherwise you will suffer then you are heading for a problem a serious problem our passions can turn into poison if we become if we start becoming resentful for the non-fulfillment of those passions when i say turning into poison today the substantial medical and scientific evidence to show that if you become resentful when you resent something when you're angry with something when you're frustrated with something we can medically today check we can do a little bit of blood work and show you you actually putting poison into your system these are poisons that you drink and you hope somebody else will die life does not work like that if you drink poison you die and it's fair it's very fair isn't it if you drink poison you must
