What Do You Do With Yourself After Retirement? - Dr. Devi Shetty with Sadhguru - YouTube
Channel: Sadhguru
[6]
Devi Shetty: Sadhguru, I am constantly torn between my senior colleagues,
[12]
who are extremely skilled surgeons.
[15]
Sadhguru, the… on the heart there are some procedures,
[19]
which are done by very few people on this planet.
[24]
I’ll give an example -
[26]
I do an operation called pulmonary endarterectomy
[29]
that’s the blood clots from the leg goes to the lung arteries
[33]
and it clogs up all the arteries.
[35]
So twenty… twenty-five years ago there was no cure for this.
[39]
And once you are diagnosed,
[41]
you are destined to die within a year.
[43]
Today people who are on home oxygen for two years, three years
[48]
you do the operation they can go back to skydiving
[52]
or they can go to scuba diving.
[54]
That’s the transformative effect
[56]
but there are only fifty surgeons
[57]
less than fifty surgeons in this world who can operate.
[61]
And like this we have some of my colleagues
[64]
who are extremely gifted surgeons.
[67]
They are in their fifties now.
[71]
And some of them are constantly talking about retirement.
[77]
Especially one surgeon
[78]
he is a extremely gifted surgeon who can fix any damaged valve.
[84]
He is single,
[86]
he has no other commitments
[88]
every other day he talks about going to Banaras or somewhere
[94]
and retire and
[96]
I keep telling him that
[98]
God didn’t create him to retire and meditate.
[102]
He has to be fixing all these problems
[111]
So he gives me extension every six months Guruji.
[114]
So at the end of six months
[117]
the usual rigmarole starts,
[119]
he talks about retirement and everybody is depressed in the hospital.
[125]
So how do you deal with this kind of people?
[136]
Sadhguru: You must
[137]
you must give him a one year sabbatical with me
[142]
Yes,
[144]
because
[148]
the need or the idea of retirement enters anybody’s mind
[155]
because of the monotony of what they’re doing,
[158]
whatever it may be.
[159]
Somebody else may think it's a great thing
[161]
but in your experience somewhere it's becoming monotonous or stagnant.
[168]
Stagnation is one thing
[170]
that human intelligence and human system cannot take.
[173]
And most of the ailments are because of stagnation
[177]
stagnation of life.
[178]
They may be… they may be getting their you know once in three years promotion.
[182]
They may be making little more money.
[184]
All these things may be happening
[186]
but somewhere experientially there’s a stagnation,
[189]
which could be a major cause for many of the complex ailments
[194]
that people manufacture within their systems.
[198]
The more complex they get you try to create more talented surgeons.
[202]
I am saying we are manufacturing the problems,
[205]
we are trying to manufacture a solution.
[208]
I think as we offer solutions
[210]
people who have adl… already gotten into problems, they need solutions.
[214]
But it's very important
[215]
that we teach people how not to create these problems,
[218]
so that instead of fifty, you have to produce five thousand expert surgeons
[222]
to attend to all these people who are on self-help to illness.
[228]
So I would say a surgeon who is
[231]
who has a certain competence and who has worked through his life,
[235]
if he wants to explore something of his own nature,
[237]
that will be the greatest thing to do
[240]
because he is not a man without commitment
[245]
nor competence.
[247]
When competence and commitment is there,
[249]
you should not run him through the rig ram role (rigmarole?)
[252]
and destroy that possibility.
[254]
It’s important that he explores something of his own nature,
[258]
which will make him
[260]
We don't know what he’ll come up with.
[261]
You cannot even estimate what he may come up with.
[266]
I think a sabbatical is good.
[274]
He may come up with something that you have not thought possible.
[278]
Devi Shetty: I will… I will convey your message Sadhguru.
[280]
I am sure he is watching this program
