The question is, how can one balance between the various commitments and the other things one wants to do in life.
Om Swami says that the person who has learnt the art of balancing between two things will be content and at the greatest peace. Giving the example of a weight scale, he says that, if the scale is heavier on the side of the things one has to do more than what one wants to do, then there will be discontentment and unhappiness. If things that one wants to do is heavier on the scales than what one has to do then it leads to depression. On the other hand, if there are no challenges left for a person on any front, and there are no projects to work on, then there will be an extraordinary sense of void and emptiness because then there is nothing left to do. He says that the first fundamental mistake anyone can do is to wish that they could do anything, and have anything they wanted in life. when one has everything and they can do whatever they want, they will end up in a very bad place.
Om Swami says if there are commitments but one wants to do other things too, then they have to sacrifice something in order to be able to do the things they want. The question then will be how much are they willing to sacrifice. How anyone prioritizes, depends on how much they are ready to sacrifice, and how much one is ready to sacrifice depends on their priorities. Without priorities, one would not be able to decide where to put in the efforts and balance effectively. He says, most people don’t know what their principles and priorities are and when there is no clarity, nobody can help them. Having principles in life, makes prioritizing easy and once the priorities are clear, there will be no confusion. Om Swami says, that if you don’t do something, it will not happen and if you want something to happen then you have to do it. To do anything one would need the time and to know where and how to use that time. This again boils down to one’s priorities. To optimize time, it is important to get up early, as this gives time to get a lot of things done. He further says, that, one has to sit down and write their philosophy of life, their principles, priorities, and then their project. They can then strike out the ones that are not in sync with their priorities. This will help them in their decisions.
