TLDR;
Gurudev explains the law of mind, highlighting that the harder you try to remember or be creative, the more difficult it becomes. He contrasts this with the conventional idea of "try hard until you succeed," suggesting that relaxation and letting go often yield better results. This is because consciousness and nature possess immense intelligence, surpassing our perceived capabilities.
- The harder you try to remember, the longer it takes.
- The harder you try to be creative, the more difficult it becomes.
- Letting go and relaxing allows consciousness and nature to work intelligently.
The Law of Mind [0:00]
Gurudev begins by stating the law of mind: the harder you try to remember something, the longer it takes to recall it. Similarly, the harder you try to be creative, the more challenging it becomes to actually be creative. This concept is drastically different from the conventional wisdom of trying harder and harder until you achieve success, which is what we are taught all our lives.
Letting Go [0:29]
Gurudev explains that when you let go, things start to flow. Many new ideas and solutions arise when we relax and allow things to be. This is because consciousness, or nature, is incredibly intelligent, even more so than we believe ourselves to be. By relaxing, we allow this inherent intelligence to guide us.
