so, thank you very much you will decide to change something how do we know that the change is for good yeah, I would say that life doesn’t come with any guarantees that we will always have correct decisions but we do know for example that if I look at say, if I look at my life if there is a 100% decision, if there is a quantity of 100 decisions that I have to make in that, maybe there are 80 decisions which I really don’t know what is the best course of action in this but I can say in 10 decisions that this is what I should do say for example I decide that I want to exercise daily I know I should do this and there can be 10 decisions that I know I should not do this or maybe say I should not get angry with others or whatever, so I would say there are areas where where change is needed and change is desired but there are of course many areas where it is not where whether change is needed also and what change is needed, we may not know that but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we can’t know anything actually the more we come to know ourselves so when I act on this 10 decisions which I know I should take and I take them positively and 10 decisions where I know I should not do this and I don’t do it and basically by this my own inner world becomes clearer it’s basically something like we have conscience conscience is ultimately the voice of God and Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita that he is present in the heart of the Paramatma and he guides so every time we hear conscience that voice becomes stronger every time we neglect the conscience that voice becomes weaker so so in these 10 10 decisions where I know what should be done and I start doing it and I stop doing it and by that I am basically tuning into the voice of conscience instead of tuning out of it as I tune in more and more then in these 80 also things will become clearer Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita I will give you the intelligence by which you can come to me so basically just act where things are clear and gradually where things are unclear we learn how best to act
