00:00New Year is approaching and we have a great desire for the new.
00:12Do you understand why we keep looking forward to dates, the next important date, the next
00:18important date?
00:19Because there is a great need to become, because we are yearning for change and there is a
00:26hope that maybe the next date might bring that change in my life.
00:29How many of you find that you take resolutions and then those resolutions come to a halt?
00:37There was a beautiful study in the US about the longevity of the New Year resolutions
00:44and it came to be known that the average resolution lasts 7.6 days.
00:49Why does it happen to us?
00:51That we become greatly desirous, we go after something and then very soon we find that
00:58all the enthusiasm has to melt out.
01:02We make great plans, yaasa karenge, yaasa karenge, and by the time the next day arrives
01:07we say chhode yaar kiya nahi.
01:09And the plans could be about anything.
01:10It could be about preparing for an entrance exam, it could be about visiting the gym,
01:14it could be about attending dark classes, it could be anything.
01:18But our resolutions rarely materialize.
01:22No new year will give you the new.
01:26So many new years have come and gone and become old years.
01:31What is happy new year today becomes sad old year very quickly.
01:36Does it not?
01:37The new, the happiness that you are looking for will not come through experience, will
01:42not come through time.
01:44It comes when you are a little less insistent upon cheating yourself.
01:53A newness that replenishes itself.
01:56A newness that is like a fountain, like a river, that has an inexhaustible source that
02:02is replenishing the flow.
02:05You don't have to move an inch.
02:08Yes, you don't have to wait for the next happy new year.
02:13Just jump into the river.
02:14Every single drop of water that will come to you is new.
02:20The environment has already told all this to you.
02:23The environment has told you, when 1st January comes, make a new year resolution.
02:28So you will make a new year resolution.
02:30The environment has also told you that when 5th of January comes, forget the resolution.
02:35You will forget the resolution.
02:37Instead of fancying about what you would do the next year, why can't you go into the
02:43facts of what you have been continuously doing?
02:48It was the same you.
02:50Yes, a little bit has changed on the surface, but your central tendencies have not changed.
02:56So it was the same you last year as well.
02:59You remember the woman you rushed to kiss when the switched off the lights sharp at
03:06midnight?
03:07There was supposed to be a happy new year kiss.
03:09That woman is kissing your neighbor today.
03:12Conditioning happens all the time.
03:14Influences are there all the time.
03:16Environment is acting upon you all the time.
03:19So you are continuously gathering dust.
03:22There is no doubt about it.
03:24But that dust cannot really harm you.
03:28It can be cleaned anytime and when it will be cleaned, you will find that the crystal
03:34is shining as brightly as ever.
03:37Nothing has changed.
03:39On one hand, you won't change.
03:41On the other hand, you won't let change happen.
03:44You just keep repeating.
03:45Life is repetition with no observation of the machinery.
03:51Machinery keeps operating on the auto mode.
03:56So what happens when you observe the machinery?
03:58Something new emerges from it?
04:00No.
04:01The machinery would remain machinery.
04:05The observation is the newness.
04:09Your glance, your sight won't change the machinery as such.
04:17But there is something about observation which will give you a taste of the new.
