It is – enjoy your life before it melts. Instead, try to live it by the ideology of a candle, which is – burn brightly for yourself and others before it melts.”

Guruji also insisted mainly on the urge and passion to love your work is what drives results. He spoke with a lot of vim and vigour leaving the audience in splits even as he slipped in motivation mantras.
