00:00What is the perfect daily routine for everyone?
00:02When you have an exam tomorrow, do you say that this is my time to sleep or this is when I watch my favorite TV show?
00:09Do you say all that? The routine goes for it all. What routine? There is an exam tomorrow.
00:13So, give yourself a life in which there is an exam every day.
00:16Then you live very tightly. There is no slack.
00:19Then there is an automatic discipline. A discipline beyond an imposed routine.
00:23Because a routine definitely makes space for leisure, etc. as well, right?
00:28When you say routine, that means these are the hours when I'll study, these are the hours when I'll do this, do that.
00:33And these are the hours when I'll have my spare time for my leisure, etc.
00:36So, you require a discipline beyond a routine.
00:39You commit yourself totally.
00:40There is that song,
00:41Mainu Ishak Nachaya, Tada Thaiya Thaiya.
00:43You are dancing to somebody's tune.
00:45And the master is not you. The master is beyond you.
00:48See, I wake up and I stretch my hand to my workstation, which is my phone.
00:52That's the routine. That sets it.
00:54The ball is rolling now.
00:55And I don't realize when the day ends. I have very little idea.
