Dear,
Do we understand what is competition, and what is a competitive mind? What is a mind that is always competitive and that is always thinking in relation to the other? Such a mind is an afraid mind. Such a mind does not look at itself because it is so busy looking at the other, it’s life, all its activities. All its thoughts are determined by what is happening on the outside. So, if someone else is running at a particular speed, this mind might say that I have to run harder. If that fellow starts swimming, then this might say that I have to swim harder. This mind has nothing of its own. Somebody else dictates what it does? And it is always afraid. It is always afraid because its sense of accomplishment comes only in relation to others.
See , how do we enter college? When we enter college, we start thinking of what is going to happen in the fourth year or after fourth year. Now if that is important, what will happen to the quality of these four years? If my mind is telling me that the really important thing will happen at the end of those four years, then what will be the quality of my first year, second year and third year? The real important thing is there so, this becomes unimportant. If this becomes unimportant, then life becomes boring. Are you understanding this?
My whole attention is on events that will happen in the future, and life is right now. Life is right now and mind is thinking about what will happen years later, because mind is saying that only that which will happen years later is important, only that is precious, only that is real. Only when I get good result, or only when I get a good job, or only when something great happens in my life, only all this is important.
If you are not available to what is happening right now, if you are not available to what is happening in this moment, and you mind is thinking of future, then your life will be boring, dull. The real moment is right now. But if your mind keeps thinking of the future, it will miss life now. Then the life will be boring for you.
When life becomes boring, you start finding it valueless. Then studying becomes unimportant, results become important. Then studying a particular course becomes unimportant, getting a job becomes important. The result is that we live very superficial lives. Our actions lack depth. Neither do we study deeply, nor do we do anything deeply. We are not totally, completely available, attentive to anything
