A
kindergarten teacher had decid-
ed to let her class play a game.
The teacher told each child in the
class to bring along a plastic bag
containing a few potatoes. Each potato will
be given a name of a person that the child
hates. So the number of potatoes that a
child will put in his/her plastic bag will de-
pend on the number of people he/she hates.
So when the day came, every child brought
some potatoes with the name of the people
he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes, some 3
while some up to 5 potatoes. The teacherthen
told the children to carry the potatoes in the
plastic bag with them wherever they go for
1 week. Days after days passed, and the
children started to complain due to the
unpleasant smell let out by the rotten
potatoes. Besides, those having 5 pota
toes also had to carry heavier bags. Af-
ter 1 week, the children were relieved
because the game had finally ended.
The teacher asked: “How did you feel while
carrying the potatoes with you for 1 week?”
The children let out their frustrations and
started complaining of the trouble that they
had to go through having to carry the heavy
and smelly potatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden
meaning behind the game. The teacher said:
“This is exactly the situation when you carry
your hatred for somebody inside your heart.
The stench of hatred will contaminate your
heart and you will carry it with you wherev-
er you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell
of rotten potatoes for just 1 week, can you
imagine what is it like to have the stench
of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”
Moral: Throw away any hatred for anyone
from your heart so that you will not car-
ry burden for a lifetime. Forgiving others is
the best attitude to take. Negativity about
someone will keep peace of your mind
away from you. Remember the good things
about him/her, and let go of the hatred.

4. For the kind of possibilities human beings
hold, life is a brief amount of time. Only for
people who do not explore the full depth and
dimension of who they are, for those who are
miserable and depressed, life is long. This is
because time is a relative experience. If you
keep yourself vibrant, exuberant, and joyful, it
is a very brief life. There is no point in dwelling
on yesterday, as long as you did the best you
could do. The important thing is that what
you thought was the best you could do yes-
terday should not be good enough to you any-
more today. What you are doing today should
be much better. That means you are growing.
If you act to the best of your ability and in-
telligence, every day will be an explosion
of possibilities. If you are driving fast, there
is no time to look back. Only those who are
living in a parked car keep looking in the
rearview mirror, because they are not going
anywhere. There is no point in doing post-
mortem on yesterday. Crafting tomorrow is
what is important. To create an exciting fu-
ture, you need to be at your best. Growth
means to make yourself the way you want
to be. And how you want to be may change
as you mature. Determine what the highest
levels for you are in terms of body, mind, and
emotions. That is what you should go for.
You do not have to be better than someone
else, but you should not be anything less
than what you can be. If you think your life is
worthwhile, you must be at your best – any-
thing less than that is wasted life. If you live
exuberantly, life is fantastic. If you are half
alive, everything is miserable. In a way, it is
a preparation for hell. If you make yourself
wonderful, wherever the hell you are, you
will be fine. Otherwise, you may be in heav-
en but turn it into hell. If you want to create
a future, it is important that you use your
past as a stepping stone, not as a load. The
more miserable your past was, the wiser and
more mature you should become, sooner
than others. When things happen to us, ei-
ther we can become wise or wounded. This
is the choice we have. Do not sit in a corner,
hoping nothing bad will happen to you – life
does not work that way. Whatever happens
in your life, you can turn it into a fortune.
When we began establishing the Isha Yoga
Center, it created a stir in town. People start-
ed gathering around us, and a few influential
families did not like it. They met and came up
with the plan to come here with a few hun-
dred people and demolish the Yoga Center.
But there was a wise old man who said, “You
don’t know whom you are dealing with. If you
throw stones at him, he will build something
out of it. Don’t make that mistake.” What
life throws at you, what kind of situations
come your way is not always in your hands.
But what you make out of it is always yours.
Take charge of this in your life – no matter
what someone says, what life does to you,
what the world does to you, turn it into well-
being. For this, you need balance, and you
need to function at your highest level. In-
discriminately, whoever it is, whatever you
do – always give your best. Learn to look at
everyone and everything with the same in-
tensity and the same involvement. Selective
involvement means being half alive. To ma-
ture into a full-fledged human being, always
strive to function at the highest possible level
of your capability, in every little thing you do.
Unfortunately, ninety percent of humanity
is functioning well below their potential – to
some extent because someone else said or
did something, or even just because they are
afraid someone else may think something.
That means you are getting into other peo-
ple’s mind – what a filthy place to be. What-
ever anyone else thinks, says, or does, what-
ever comes your way, learn to turn it into your
wellbeing. If someone throws poison at you,
you must know how to use it for your wellbe-
ing. Poisons have been turned into medicines,
because people paid attention and realized
the source of the problem is also a solution.
There is a saying in Kannada that if some-
one did something wrong, and other peo-
ple talk about it, the negative effect of it will
be greater for the people who talk about
it than for the one who committed the act.
Let them carry your burden. If someone
abuses you, only their mouth gets dirty.
That is not your problem. What someone
else says, does, or thinks should not af-
fect you. If you are giving your best, all the
time, you will be able to look through what-
ever they say. What is significant, you can
take as a suggestion. The rest, you can drop.
If you are giving less than your best and
someone says something about you, you will
get confused as to who you are. This does
not mean you should establish your way of
being once and for all. Growth is a constant
process. It is about building yourself up to
the highest possible level. Most people are
volatile, in the sense, one moment, they
are wonderful – the next moment, they are
nasty. Instead, determine what the highest
level for you is at this time and strive to get
there. Just bring this into your life – in ev-
erything, give nothing less than the best.
