Right decisions spring from right life. We focus so much on the art of decision-making. Even management institutes teach that, right? Somebody is teaching mathematical modeling for decision-making, somebody is teaching strategic decision-making. What they don’t tell is the most fundamental thing – that the quality of your life is the quality of all your decisions.


An ambitious life is going to make ambitious decisions. A scared life is going to make scared decisions. If you want to make the right decisions, then live a right life. The right decision will automatically come from there. Then you don’t even have to worry about a particular decision. All your decisions will be right. 

Also remember: you regret only a few decisions. You say, “I took ten decisions, out of which two went wrong.” And you regret them, right? You don’t regret everything. But I am guaranteeing you that if decisions are wrong, then it is not just two decisions that are wrong. It is all ten that are wrong. It is just that you caught two decisions as being wrong. It is just that those two decisions made their effects so visible and apparent that you could say that they have gone wrong. The other eight too are wrong. It is just that right now you are incapable to see how wrong your other eight decisions are.

From the wrong life, everything that emerge will be wrong. Even the simplest decision will be wrong. You will not even know which seat to take in an auditorium. You will not know when to drink water. You will not know which clothes to wear. Even the most trivial decisions will be wrong. You will not know what kind of hair to keep. You will not know how to address your servant. No decision will be right from a wrong mind. It’s a great punishment, is it not?

To have the right decision, live rightly. Be aware at every point. Live in remembrance. Be close to the world, but don’t indulge in it. Live in the Truth. 

When you live in the Truth, then all your decisions in the world are right.
