Is building vision and goals important to become successful?

In this episode of the Subhash Chandra Show, the Shri Subhash Chandra discusses the topic ‘Is goal-setting important in order to become successful? How important is setting up “Vision” to achieve Success?’ Upon a discussion, when an audience member asks the Chairman about the ultimate goal of life, Subhash Ji says that a human being’s goal is to find the Ultimate Truth, a truth which is beyond mind and matter. He says that each individual has to decide for this goal of Ultimate Truth himself or herself; nobody can reveal that to him or her.

Subhash Ji goes on to explain the concept of five types of individuals or human beings that exist. These are:

Mineral human being is the one whose goal is only to think about himself and work for his own happiness and nobody else’s. Such people are totally self-centred and even their family does not matter to them as much as their own self.
Vegetable human being is the one who thinks about his or her family and relatives but his life is limited to it.
Animal human being is the one who thinks about his or her country and community or caste and again, their life is limited by this aspect.
Human human being is the one who thinks about the entire world’s well-being.
Transcendental human being is the one who thinks beyond the orbit.

He further inspires people to start questioning. The urge to question has to be there without being obsessed with it. Saying this, Subhash Ji welcomes Smt Nilanjana Das, Social Worker, on the podium to share her experience in goal-setting in her work. She aims to make India a “Super Women country”.

The next guest on this episode of Subhash Chandra Show is Smt Deepti Pant, whom Subhash Ji describes as a “great storyteller”. Deepti Ji is a Design Researcher and Storyteller by profession, working as a Motivator through her stories. “I’m not a stand-up comedian, but tells stories with an intention to change people’s lives,” reveals Deepti Ji. The storyteller urges students to have a goal in life – comparing it to how Lord Rama had a goal in his vanvaas and that was to kill Raavan and rescue Goddess Sita. She concludes saying that one should create one’s life’s story oneself, but don’t think that one is alone and lonely on the path to achieve one’s goal. She also asks youngsters to give people the time to understand their different life stories.
