Despondency arises because

You want too much, too quickly.

By and large I have used these words when I speak of the greed for wealth.

These days you all want to become wealthy instantly.

You want a salary of 4 - 5 - 6 crores instantly.

Instead, ''let me give my best, and accept what has to happen.''

Even one such thought can keep you so much at peace.

But instantly…

Instantly I can understand,

That may be categorised as your passion,

But you want more, instantly.

This mental state will invert shortly,

And will turn into dejection.

So, understand this well.

Quickly and lots.

As you want in business, you want in dharma.

And then, instead of uplifting thoughts,

You are gripped by doubts and dejection.

First you doubt yourself, then you doubt dharma, then you doubt religious persons.

Once you allow doubts, even self-doubt,

Doubt directed towards the self - will I be able to do it or not?

Will I attain or not?

And if this self-doubt,

Is accompanied by delusion,

It could take you so far as to doubt the Guru too.

There will be a cessation of positive thoughts.

See, if you err, it is understandable.

But, during the mistakes,

If positive thoughts cease too,

You have a bigger problem at hand.

Cessation of positive thoughts means cessation of passion.

And in a short time, you will go into dejection.

For dejection, you may use any word: Complex, frustration, depression,

Whatever you wish to call it.

There was a king fighting a war.

He was fighting with great courage.

The war went on for several days.

The capital was constantly updated about it.

The queen was very eager to know about the war,

So, she was also informed about the day-to-day happenings.

But within a few days it became quite evident

That the king was likely to lose the battle.

And in fact, the king did lose the battle.

He returned to the capital.

He entered the palace.

Upon entering the harem, he saw the queen and said,

"I have bad news. We lost the battle."

The queen said, "I have worse news than that."

"What?" asked the king

"The king has lost his courage", she replied.

"What is more tragic than losing the battle is that you lost courage."

I have studied Nietzsche when I was doing my Masters.

He said a very beautiful thing:

A more tragic thing than God's death is the loss of hope in God.

Are you understanding?

To err is one thing

And to have a positive or negative thought during that time is another thing.

The Enlightened Ones say that the second thing is of more importance.

You lose that and years of effort will be washed away.

And these positive thoughts can bring back everything.

Everything.

Why do honorary consuls work for free? - Duration: 4:21.

For 3 months, the Slovak flag has been raised above the castle of Eclépens.

This is a diplomatic representation

with an honorary consul who's also the boss of the castle.

Negotiations with the Federal

Department of Foreign Affairs

were difficult, because thereare no cosulates

in municipalities of less than 1000 inhabitants

apart from the Slovakian consulate at Eclépens.

We put together a file with the embassy

to show that Eclepens is in the middle of the world.

A stone's throw from the watershed between the Rhone and the Rhine,

where François de Coulon owns farmland and a wine estate.

He became honorary consul for services rendered

when the Iron Curtain fell.

An honorary function based on an official document.

This document is the authentic act of recognition of the consulate.

Switzerland has 130 honorary consuls:

often Swiss who represent foreign countries.

Like Jean-Marc Probst, for Germany, seen here with

the new German ambassador to the UN.

He showed her the region.

It was such a surprise!

It's a serious job: the consulate issues passports and documents

to the 16,000 Germans in the region.

He is the one who pays the staff and rents premises at his own expense.

We accept a responsibility like this out of honour

because we're part of the consular body.

But we risk spending

more than we generate in income.

Which could land us in debt.

This evens out over time.

There are still things to sign.

No problem.

The only income is from passports.

Does a businessman like him get anything out of it?

You have to separate things.

I don't mind giving out my honorary consul visiting card.

But it has never helped me in business.

The job of a consul is a labour of love.

This pianist is not Lithuanian but represents that country,

because he's interested in the training of young talent.

A consular mission that is almost entirely cultural.

I have the stamp that can bindthe country.

For what type of situation?

It hasn't happened yet, but if you need an emergency visa,

I have the stamp.

Each honorary consul agrees on the tasks to be accomplished.

So when Vilnius becomes the European capital of culture, he gets on board.

What a great opportunity

for Lithuania to contribute

to the dialogue between people.

I send people to Bern if they need an official document.

I represent the country culturally

with the young Lithuanians I train.

Switzerland has 200 honorary consuls abroad.

Most have replaced general consuls, to save money.

In Mulhouse, the holder is also a culture buff.

Through his mediation, the Swiss subsidise musicians at this festival.

It is important for Switzerland, a small country,

to participate in cultural events.

It's a way of

getting itself noticed.

A consul in the border region

involved in economic affairs and rather well-off.

For unlike most other countries

Switzerland pays its honorary consuls.

It's a job.

We are available day and night.

It's only right that the car and the secretary

should be paid as part of my expenses.

His peers in Switzerland don't seem to envy him.

They seem completely dedicated to the countries they represent.
