I tell you: anything can be given up in life, anything can be lost, not one thing: self-driving motivation. If just that is maintained, everything is done – having high self-drive in anything you take up. High self-drive is life; not having high self-drive is death, that's all! That's all is life. Whenever you lived with a high self-drive in your life, you were alive. Whenever it is

Swami Nithyananda speaking on a golden throne

lost, you are dead.

Don’t remember the moments of money as important moments in your life. Don’t remember the moments you have been rewarded, awarded, as the important moments of your life. Don’t keep those stupid photographs in your house, of your graduation or your lottery winning, as your important moments of life. No! When that stupid cap was put and that certificate was given in your hand, you became intelligent? Don’t keep that as a memorable moment of your life in your house. Don’t keep that stupid marriage photograph, your graduation photograph, all that, as the memorable moments of your life. Your first baby, you bought a new house - don’t keep all these as memorable moments of your life. No. All this happens as an accident! You can name them - ‘Social accident moments of my life’. Keep them all in archives in your house, ‘social accident moments of my life’.

Those moments when you had a high self-drive are the most memorable moments of your life. The highly inspired self-drive moments you had in your life, the memories of those moments, the achievements of those moments - keep these as the memorable moments of your life in your house. It might have been as simple as this: you took a lawn-mower and mowed your whole lawn, or you took a vacuum cleaner and cleaned your whole house. It can be as simple as those moments. Or you decided to hike on the mountain and went on a hike, or you decided to swim and swam for two-three hours, or you decided to go for a long Perpetual Completion session and sat for three-four hours in the space of Completion; it can be as simple as any one of these. High self-drive moments should be respected, celebrated, worshipped and remembered as the memorable moments of your life.

But only when you were living in the high drive - it can even be in your office, without bothering about what money is going to come or anything, you just sat for ten days and finished a project - those are the memorable moments of your life. They only need to be repeated, understand? The dharmic high self-drive moments you had in your life are the moments to be celebrated, experience to be cherished, inspiration to be kept alive, life to be re-created.
