“You will achieve all in life if you're happy. Everything will come to you if you're happy.
In whatever we want to achieve, we have to have that clear focus in our life. That word itself, FOCUS — what does that stand for? We know we say, yes, we have to focus on life, we have to focus on ourselves, we have to focus on this, we have to focus on that. But what does that word FOCUS stand for?
F stands for fun of life. Life is not miserable. But what we have made out of life is miserable. In reality, life is for fun. We have to enjoy life. But are we enjoying it? No, we are making ourselves miserable.
O stands for organizing. Organize yourself, organize your mind. Become clear inside your mind.
C stands for character. Watch your attitude, watch your character, watch how you are.
U stands for yourself. Whatever you want to achieve, first you have to achieve it inside yourself. You have to build that self-confidence. You know, God will run to you. You don't need to run to God. Realization will run to you if you have that clear understanding of who you are.
And S means service. Whatever I have achieved, I can serve society, I can help society, I can help others.
That is the FOCUS in your life that you have to find. But it all starts with the joy of life itself. If you don't have that joy of life, you can sit in meditation and still be miserable. Because very often you will hear people say, ‘Meditate, and you will be happy.’ No, you will never be happy. You have to be happy first;then you can sit and meditate. Miserable people are trying to sit and meditate, expecting that they will become happy. No, they will never be happy. In the same way, you live a life of misery, you live a life of hypocrisy, and then expect that once you die you will go to heaven or somewhere joyful. No, live here happily.
You will achieve all in life if you're happy. Everything will come to you if you're happy.
Jai Gurudev, all of you. Love you all, and blessings to you all.”
