[Music] y [Music] if you go for your standards 90 98% of the people are bad so you will be repulsed by them and if you have to work with them if you have to love them if you have to reach out to them it'll take a huge toll on you if you just accept them the way they are everybody comes with their Problems you see I'm responsible for them or you accept them the way they are then we will see what to do with them maybe we can rub them and make them little more sensitive

maybe we can peel their skin off and make them little more skin sensitive if their skin is thick we peel it off then they feel everything that's what I'm trying to do with you just trying to peel your skin off a little bit though it hurts so that you become really sensitive to everything Around you that sounds like what H abrasive sism whatever you like but that's the only thing works that I've seen so we want to just scrape off your skin so that you become truly sensitive to life everything you feel if you had

no skin you would feel everything intensely isn't it so just trying to make you feel intensely about everything That is spirituality that you feel about every atom in the existence intensely like you would have felt if your child was in the verge of death how you would feel like that you feel about every single creature on the planet now you will be overwhelmed with it initially but once you come to terms with it now there's a new kind of balance in you nothing can throw you off balance anymore once you started feeling Like this somewhere

and natural organization reorganization will happen within you that either you have to just fall Dead with the feeling or you'll come to a New Balance you won't fall dead don't worry you capable of this if you make yourself feel overwhelmingly for all life you will see It'll not kill you it will bring you to a new height of life and give you a new sense of balance which empowers a human being in a huge way what is Enlightenment and what is The path to Enlightenment uh PE for people like us who have social and family

situations is there something like a path that we follow and then we become enlightened that's uh you learned the art of asking question three in one questions what is Enlightenment what can I say I wish I could find words for that so to put it technically what is Enlightenment means your experience of Of life has crossed the limitations of the physical dimensions Beyond physical have come into your living experience moment to moment so though you live in the body you not it though you use your mind you're not it though you live in the world

you are not it or in other words you have become a perfect stranger to the world to the body and to Your own mind the distance has come within you now once the distance is there if you wish to withdraw you can withdraw but if you want to play you can play because anyway there's no danger of getting caught up with the world or with your mind or with your emotions or with your body once there is no danger you want to play you can play any kind of game isn't it so Enlightenment is a

certain freedom Freedom which releases you from the very process of life and death how do we get there we just started a little step a small way we made a beginning but the first step is always the most significant step because the first step has to happen in the right direction turning into the right direction itself is a great step even if you don't walk the path see now you are facing this way but Enlightenment is this way you just turned in this direction you didn't walk this path it doesn't matter you turned in this

direction that itself is a fantastic step because someday you will walk you're bound to walk isn't it either you walk out of your own intelligence or you walk because life bites you very badly when life bites you very badly then you'll say what the hell is all This about which way out of all this if you're intelligent you will walk before life bites you otherwise you will try to walk when life bites you you but when life has bitten off one of your legs it's to walk with one leg is difficult you know but you

turn in the right direction that itself is a great step so for people who live in family situations is there a possibility your family has nothing to do with your Enlightenment not your nor your monkhood has anything to do with your Enlightenment with by taking becoming a monk or becoming a family person you just choosing a certain atmosphere to live in what is within you will not change because of this isn't it yes whatever is the kind of atmosphere that is suitable for you conducive for you you choose that your family atmosphere is conducive for

you You choose that living in the forest is conducive for you go to the forest you want to dig yourself into a mountain cave and live there do that whatever is conducive for you but don't ever believe by going to the mountain you'll get enlightened by leaving your family you'll get enlightened no it has nothing to do with that because it's an inner Dimension what kind of external Arrangements you make for your own life has nothing to do with That I wanted to know basically how to control excitement if you could uh give me a

a easy or a simple way which I can uh follow we can we can do that if we just have you shot after that you'll be cold and unexciting why do you want to control excitement I want you to be in a state of excitement all the time like for your problem is because See people have been telling you this if you're too happy Sadness Will Follow do you understand they've been saying this traditionally so you're laughing too much so tomorrow you will cry this observation has come because you are not functioning from your awareness

you are cyclical in your nature if you become too much laughing today tomorrow you will cry because it keeps Happening for people for many people it's true for a lot of people it is true it is from that context you saying don't want excitement because excitement leads to trouble isn't it if you can be Blissful and always in a state of excitement is it not nice I'm always excited about everything there's nothing that doesn't excite me that's why I'm asking question to you Swami G that's why I'm saying why do you Want to kill the

excitement now you must bring the necessary balance that ex excitement doesn't lead to disaster isn't it excitement means life is happening more intensely isn't it always it must be happening at maximum intensity but now you should create the necessary balance so that your excitement doesn't lead to disastrous situations within you so ask for the right thing you need the necessary Balance not to kill life because if you live life something may happen if you live life something may happen so the best thing is to fall dead that's a logic you're going right now is that

the answer no no if you live life injury may happen tragedy may happen so best thing is fall dead right now so that nothing happens to you that's definitely 100% insurance but that's not the way isn't It you want to be alive exuberantly alive and still maintain the balance you're half alive and you're peaceful it doesn't mean anything you're exuberantly alive and still you're peaceful this is beautiful this is fantastic or you're exuberant and once in a way you lose your balance that's still okay with me but you're dead and peaceful it doesn't mean anything

to me nor does it Mean anything to life isn't it the idea the idea of coming here is to live isn't it is that so the idea that we're existing here is to experience life as intensely and as deeply as it's possible everything that you're doing is only for that but because of your fear of disaster you're killing yourself and keeping yourself half a life that's not the answer that's not a solution at All so how not to be excited is not the question how not to make excitement into your disaster you must earn the

necessary balance within you everything that we doing is only in that direction are you a little more balanced than what you were 5 days ago such a short period 5 6 days is not a big amount of time but are you a little more balanced you just stick to the practice I'm telling you in 6 months time look at the kind of balance you have within you You will stand apart in any group of people that kind of inner balance will be there definitely so when if the longing has risen within you that you want

to know you really want to know I know this wanting to know sometimes bubbles up and again get lost in the daily rigr role it's uh you know the nature of the mind and The body is such even the simplest processes of life could would be greatly entangling simple things getting up in the morning turning up the blinds brushing your teeth using the toilight breakfast if you work work whatever these little things can be highly entangling from the moment they wake up To the time they're finishing their breakfast which is usually just a question of

an hour or two many people are the are at the peak of agitation isn't it so yes nothing has happened yet no calamities have struck yet you haven't met your boss yet you know nothing has happened you just saw your wife and your husband or maybe your children you know all their Tricks isn't it you've been been with them for a few years you know all their tricks nothing to surprise you isn't it so within a few months or year or in a year's time you should know all their tricks that they can play so

but before reaching the breakfast table or before you get up from the table people are in a peak of agitation this is not because there is something wrong with your life because Nothing has gone wrong yet in the day it is simply because that's the nature of the mind if you allow it to rule you that's how you go there's no other way it doesn't matter whether the life situations are going well or not going well so if this is the nature of your mind and this is the way life is going on definitely it's

time definitely it is an urgent need in everybody that they Must look they must look at the very nature of their life with a much deeper perspective with a much deeper penetration into it is isn't it so the time has come isn't it most people don't realize that the time has come they think they can do it next year they think they can do it after two years there's no such thing if you value your life the time has come only if you don't value your life then time hasn't Come if you have any value

for this life and this creation then the time is definitely come that we must look at life with it ultimate perspective otherwise maybe there is time of course there's a whole eternity ahead of you there's really no hurry if the longing arises the longing genuinely arises in you really when your heart cries wanting to know when you know the Pain of ignorance when you really know the pain of ignorance then a master arises you don't have to look for him because if your Longing To Know has really picked up a certain intensity within you if

the pain of ignorance has really you know really gone deep into you then he will anyway [Music] happen uh what is the goal of human life what is the purpose of human life or in other words why life that's a question when it comes to life and existence you never ask why when it comes to fundamental existence you never ask why because if you ask why then I have to tell you a story when I say a story even if it's a real Story you know real story whatever I speak if it is not in

your experience it is just a story the only option that you have is either you believe me or you disbelieve me yes if you believe me it doesn't get you any closer to truth if you disbelieve me it doesn't get you at all so you never ask why right now you're here with life why such a question has come what is the goal of Life because the process is not enough isn't it yes the process of life is not enough somehow suppose you were bursting with ecstasy every moment of your life such a question would

never come what is the goal of life because to live is the goal of Life to Live and to live totally to live totally does not mean party every Night to live totally means when you are here you must experience all aspects of life and go whatever this is every aspect of what this is must come into your experience before you fall dead isn't it so yes this must happen isn't it so for every human being or do you want to just experience 10% of you and go away you must experience what this life is

totally isn't it before you go you must experience this if you do Experience that then such questions will never arise in your mind because that's not the way existence is logically your question is very correct okay I'm living here what is the goal of my life if I tell you the goal of your life is you must attain to God so we making lots of assumptions isn't it we assumption we making assumptions about various things which are not yet in our experience isn't it the moment you make assumptions about Things which are not in your

experience you will become hallucinated 99% of the world's religion is hallucinatory please see because you assuming things that are not in your experience and working with that which you have assumed the moment you give power to things that you have assumed your mind will just fly off into all types of imagination and it'll be more real than real so your imagination can be more Real than real isn't it so you go and sit in a cinema it is just two dimensional just play of light and sound but its impact is much more than the life

itself isn't it so yes you went and said in IMX theater its impact is bigger than life isn't it but is it bigger than life do you think so is it really bigger than life not at all it is just that imagination has such power imagination thought emotion all These things are a way to pave the way now I have a thought I want to go to New York this paves the way once I say I want to go to New York now okay how to go shall I buy the ticket shall I walk it

what shall I do shall I drive it's Paving the way but if I sit here and go on thinking nework I'll never make it thought is not a reality that takes you there it only paves the way it makes you willing That's all yes thought and emotion only makes you willing it's never the real thing but once you start giving too much significance to your thought and emotion it starts seeming like as if it's the real thing more real than the real what you're thinking in your head is more real than what's around you isn't

it so yes that's the whole problem with life right now that your thought and emotion has become a bigger reality than reality Itself now this is like you know if you go probably in the country side there will be what do you call them we call them hand post what do you call call them here you know a hand post what do you call it something a marker a sign post okay so these are called hand post usually because they used to be made like hands at one time you know like This it used to

be have you seen them like this it says this way to New York so you go and sit on this and you think think you're in New York that's not New York isn't it so thought is only a signpost it points you in the direction you want to go but it never takes you there it cannot take you there but people who think it is taking them there have become hallucinatory in such a way that even Reality cannot get them out even if you pick poke them with a knife they will not know there somewhere

else their thought and emotion is far more important than that this is a scch which has taken Humanity such a big way such a big way and of all the type of thoughts and emotions that we generate the religious thought and religious emotion or spiritual thought and spiritual emotion are most dangerous because they're Powerful empowered by the other worldly because of that kind of power it just rules people it just rules people so deeply and we can always see that some other religion that you don't belong to what stupidity what nonsense they're doing but what

you doing is just never visible isn't it yes isn't it so isn't it happening every day because once the thought and emotion becomes powerful you start believing it Once you start believing something which is not yet in your experience you are a dangerous human being because all the conflict on the planet even today what's happening though people try to project it as it is good versus evil though people are trying to project it as good versus evil it is not about Good and Evil it is always about one man belief versus another man's belief isn't

It so always between one man's belief and another man's belief why can't we be sincere enough to Simply say whatever we do not know as we do not know what is the problem this is the biggest human problem they can't see that they don't know they have to themselves all the time and and this is not a joke this is a ter terrible tragedy on The planet isn't it this is not a joke this is not a simple thing it has cost phenomenally for human life on this planet phenomenally and still continuing to cost but

what we think and feel is so important isn't it so what is the goal what if there is no goal what will you do will you die tomorrow Suppose there is no goal what To do you want to die isn't it wonderful there's nowhere to go yes isn't it really great there's no way to nowh to go you don't have to work your way to heaven you can just live here happily no no no we are going to heaven if you're so sure you're going to heaven what are you waiting for if you're so dead

sure you're enemy going to heaven what are you waiting for I can't understand the logic for the ticket huh for the ticket waiting for the ticket all you have to do is uh go and cut your throat in front of the temple you understand whichever is your favorite Temple it will happen people 100% believe after I die I will go to the lap of God if you going to the lap of God you should not delay it really isn't it so such a sacred Duty can you delay it you must go today not Even tomorrow

no you want to live long so why are you postponing such a wonderful opportunity that's because you're full of bull you tell yourself things which are not yet a reality for you for you I'm not questioning whether these things exist not exist but it's not at a reality for you if you talk about things which are not at a reality for you to Put it very bluntly just amounts to lying this lying has costed phenomenally for individual human beings and for the whole Humanity in a big way what is Dream Most of the dream over

90% of the dream is just unfulfilled desire because you have no control over this you are not playing the desire the desires are playing you anything that you see you desire isn't it you may not Pursue it really but at that moment oh I wish I had it I wish I had that everything that you have desired for till now when you go from here today at 5: your sex if all of it is waiting for you at home you finished all the things and people that you desired for in your life if all of

them are waiting for you at home can you live there can you no so isn't it a fortune That your desires have not come true so because you are Desiring in an unriddled way it's not in your control all of it can never be fulfilled in life but it needs to be worked out because once you desire something you're investing a certain amount of energy in that direction you need to understand this now if I say oh I want these lights immediately a certain amount of my energy is invested in that direction Now I forget

about this oh I want the camera I'm investing certain amount here but this is still going on I may not be conscious but this is still going on in a day you do this with 100 different things you become all scattered you're so scattered now endlessly mind is just going on with meaningless thought because constantly your energy is being thrown in different directions It is not going in One Direction have you noticed at a certain time in your life when you had a deep longing for something in particular you created a big longing towards something

at that time all these things disappeared have you noticed this yes you invested in One Direction suddenly all these thoughts just disappeared from your mind so dream is happening simply because your mind is just being constantly scattered around with Desiring process and all of it can never be fulfilled in reality so you are working overtime in the night fulfilling them in F you know in fantasy ways yes there are other dimensions of Desire but they are very small if such things happen to some individuals we will handle it we don't have to disturb everybody with

such dreams desire is just free Cinema enjoy It whether it's a horror movie or a love story or a suspense thriller just enjoy it what's your problem free Cinema they showing you in the society we live in organized groups where will continue to exist belief systems is that so then that means that will continue to exist conflicts you saying they will continue to believe believe is that what you're saying yeah belief system will continue to exist are You making a prediction for the future uh not necessarily a prediction I think if your intelligence functions if

you allow it to function your intelligence is incapable of believing anything isn't it so yes or no yes yes your intelligence wants to know no it is not ready to believe anything actually but you are forsaking your intelligence because your fear is so Dominant you feel comfortable in believing but if you allow your intelligence to take you ahead your intelligence doesn't believe anything it wants to know everything isn't it yes is that the nature of your intelligence so if you allow your intelligence to function then you will see all your beliefs will just fall apart

because you know you don't know isn't it but it takes a lot of pressure to Make you admit it but actually you know that you don't know isn't it do you know yes then what's the problem you don't have to admit it to anybody at least to yourself can't you admit okay I don't know if you don't know do you see you have to use your intelligence do you see this see suppose let's say it's pitch dark you don't know how the ground is do you see How alert you'll become every step that you take

that's how it is when you do not know everything becomes bright it is just looking your intelligence is all hyped up and looking when you assume I know everything settles down and you go on with with your stupid life isn't it is it all right if you use your intelligence do I have your permission is it okay for you to use your intelligence or is it against God it's all right I'm asking you is it against God if you employ your intelligence and live your life if God was against intellig he wouldn't have created it

isn't if the Creator was against you functioning intelligently it wouldn't have been given to you isn't so if you employ your intelligence you will see your intelligence is not willing to believe anything it is only The fear in you don't you ever believe that it is bti no bti just fear which is making you believe things isn't it that's why you made it [Laughter] babaki there's no Baya and biti together if bti comes I'm sorry you know what's Baya bakti yourself no Baya means fear bti means devotion see if devotion comes fear will not exist

in You if fear exists that means devotion has not come but you made a hybrid you want to have both Baki there's no bayati just B only fear no fear and devotion cannot exist together please say this as you mentioned the children should not be taught yoga or the inner signs when they are kids so when do we actually start the process of think thinking pure and uh not letting the Impure thoughts into you where did you get this pure thought and impure thought business not me thought whatever kind of thought you have whatever thought

you generate on your mind is only coming from the data that has already been fed into you isn't it so H you can use it permutations and combinations of it and produce million varieties but essentially thought is coming from the data that is already Been fed into you if you go about sifting in the mind what is pure thought what is impure thought oh you will go and if you trying to curb the impure thought and produce pure thought you finished all the things that the so-called religion told people are sins they have become the

full-time activity of human Mind if they just left them alone everybody according to his inclination would have gone where he has to go now it's not like that it's painted in everybody's mind because they said this is a sin do not think about it endlessly they're thinking about it they're not even as free as dogs and cats are human beings simply because somebody put this idea that there's something pure and Impure whatever impure things you learned at the age of 25 I do not know I have not come in touch with anything impure in the

world yet I don't know where you came in touch with all these impure things in 25 years I have not seen anything impure in this world have you have you seen something impure I have not seen anything impure in this world the different kinds of people with different kinds of problems and Limitations and nonsense I don't think it's impure process of purification in different stage of stages of Purity I see people and first of all this idea of pure and impure is a very sick idea there's just life around you there's only life around you

if you're labeling certain aspects of life as pure and certain aspects of life as impure there is a serious Problem I want you to understand this problem is far more serious than most people really look at it is that serious right now many religions and cultures on the planet have labeled the fundamental biology itself is impure yes yes or no the basic biological processes themselves as impure sexuality is Impure A woman's menstrual cycles are impure what the hell you born out of it then you are also impure everything in the world is impure creation is

impure if you like that word you can use it but who are you to decide what is pure and impure this is the way life is made isn't it it all depends on how you do what you do isn't it with how much awareness you approach it the same things can become beautiful the same things can become ugly depending upon Who is doing it and how he's doing it isn't it so yes something as simple as eating eating can be a beautiful experience not just for nourishment even as an experience it can be a beautiful

experience somebody eats like this we just look at that back everything can be done like this isn't it so who is doing it how it is being done that's what makes the Difference so this Prejudice as to what is pure and impure has destroyed this Humanity in such a bad way pure thoughts and impure thoughts oh if you sift through this you finished all thoughts are Just Junk okay essentially they're coming from The Limited experience of past these thoughts are useful for your survival process you picked up some amount of information you want to survive

in the world this information is Useful if you're looking at life itself this thoughts are meaningless what happened yesterday actually has nothing to do with what's happening right now in this moment isn't it so but in terms of your survival in the world you need to remember a few things you need to use your old knowledge to earn your living on the planet but uh in that don't brand something as pure and Impure this can completely freak your life out there's nothing pure there's nothing impure life is just the way it is it's for you

to make it wonderful or make it ugly every aspect of your life yes every aspect of your life you can either make it beautiful or you can make make it ugly if you're aware you will make it beautiful if you're doing things compulsively you will make it ugly Anything in your life if you do it compulsively it becomes ugly isn't it so if you do it consciously it can be made beautiful everything from the smallest thing to the biggest thing everything can be made beautiful if you do it consciously and everything can be turned to

an ugly mess if you do it compulsively one thing uh you need to understand is the tech technology is subjective because it's about you you have known objective Technologies how to Fix the car how to fix the airplane how to fix the aircraft all these things you can stay away from those things look at them and fix them they are different but this is subjective technology it's about you so if you have to look at this in some way you have to open up so if we have to open you up say today day there

was a time they were doing surgeries on the street side you know that yes and if too much blood Comes they would just pick up mud and throw it and stop bleeding in the village yes do you know yes or no if there is a cut or a wound and there's too much bleeding they would simply take mud and put it somehow to stop the bleeding but today we have understood even if we have to open a small opening in the body we need a certain sterile condition to do it we have understood that much

isn't it so whether it's the physical body Means we need a certain kind of condition similarly if we have to open up you as a person we need a different kind of atmosphere we need a committed atmosphere in a casual atmosphere you never do it why today any thinking person little people who consider themselves intelligent in the world have an to anything spiritual is simply because of this because spirituality has presented itself in such Ridiculous Ways They're so pathetic isn't it so there are all kinds of idiots on the planet but the so-called religious and

spiritual idiots take the cake anywhere in the world isn't it so yes this is simply because people started handling spirituality in uncommitted manner anywhere everywhere talking about it on the street side they're talking about Krishna and how he did this and bhagat Gita it's just become ridiculous because You're not demanding a certain involvement and commitment from people just anywhere you're going on like a film song or a commercial thing now slowly it has become so ridiculous people have just dismissed the value of it absolutely now it is only the ignorant and the uneducated who listen

to Mahabharat and this one and that one they educated because they've already dismiss it as Nonsense because it's happening in such Ridiculous Ways it is not being presented properly not creating the right kind of situation for it to grow simply doing it anywhere so subjective technology is never attempted in uncommitted atmospheres it has to be done in a committed atmosphere we want to just align these four wheels on which you carry your life see you may think and imagine Many things about you in your experience the only four realities of your life is physical body

mind emotion and energy that supports all this isn't it so other things you imagine and you believe from your traditions and cultures these are the only things which are in your living experience if you want to go somewhere if you want to make any kind of Journey you can only start your journey from where you are right Now wherever you want to go you want to go to Muma Dei or to the Moon you can only start your journey from the seat in which you're sitting right now isn't it so if you try to start

your journey somewhere else you will become hallucinatory most of the religion in the world over 90% of the religion in the world has become hallucinatory because because they are all trying to start from the third step to Heaven not from where they Are you must first realize what is the experiential reality of who you are what is the next step and the next step and the next step this is the only way you genuinely going to go somewhere otherwise you will become hallucinatory this hallucinatory religion has brought some suray to you but not found any

Liberation or Freedom within you now you just believe everything is being taken care of for you for by God Everything but tomorrow morning if something happens in your life that you do not like suddenly you crack up isn't it because it is so surface what you believe in life can crack you it doesn't matter what kind of hallucinations you have life situations are capable of breaking you if they don't go right isn't it now if you're a Believer if life is not happening your way it must be definitely happening his way isn't it you must

be even more happy But that's not the reality of your life you want the life to happen the way you want it if you have any problem in your life right now it is just this life is not going the way you think it should go is there any other problem with your life is there any other problem with your life this is the only problem that human beings have life is not going the way they think it should go isn't it so if it is not going your way it must be going the Creator's

way isn't it you Must be even more happy but that's not the reality because there are too many deceptions in the mind when we talk about truth and untruth generally we are thinking of Truth as a verbal truth that we speak or I spoke the truth or I spoke a lie these verbal truths or verbal untruth is a More moral and ethical issue not an existential issue a social thing and uh many times you know there's lot of terrorist attacks going around in the world you just had one we had plenty back home a hall

like this is a terrorist Paradise people packed up like this in one Place you know they can have Maximum Impact this a good place no so when I was coming just now I met a terrorist because everything is quiet here he didn't know whether the people inside or not he's trapped up he asked are there people inside do you want me to tell him the truth or Untruth H you want me to speak the truth or untruth what kind of people are you so what is truth what is untruth it is not in the words

that you speak it is in the way you hold the life within you the nature of existence is such that it's all inclusive you know you know there are 10 horrible people in this class who don't believe in God but when the sun comes up in the morning you'll have 10 black spots falling on them Believers have such hopes no when sun comes up in the morning it lights up everybody isn't it what nonsense you believe in or what nonsense you disbelieve in it doesn't matter it just lights up everybody whoever opens his eyes for

him there is light to see who you are what you are what you're Thinking what you're doing are you this or that it doesn't discriminate whether you are a crawling worm or a big human being it doesn't discriminate so the essential nature of life life is all inclusive there is no discrimination this is the truth if you sit here like that absolutely all inclusive you are in touch with truth if you have become a prejudiced Exclusiveness this is the untruth it is not in the words that you speak it is in the Way You Are

truth is not something that you can say or not say truth is something either you're in touch with it or you're not in touch with it it's not your doing if it's your doing it must be a lie isn't it isn't it so if it's your doing or my Doing it must be a lie isn't it that which is true is always it is in the lap of truth that we exist it is not something that we say or do either we can be in touch with it or we can be unaware of it but

still it is working whether we like it or we don't like it in the very breath that we take we're inclusive isn't it yes whether we are willing or unwilling In the very breath that we inhale and exhale we are all inclusive isn't it if you become exclusive truly exclusive you will be dead but even the dead are inclusive isn't it the dead will so easily merge with the planet they are also very inclusive the alive are supposed to be consciously inclusive dead are dead so they're unconscious and They're inclusive the litmus test for you

whether you're in touch with truth or not it's just this if there is any kind of suffering in you right now you're not in touch with truth if you're in touch with truth there can be no suffering in you it's as simple as that how deep your suffering is shows how far away from truth you are right Now there are many ways to approach this we have been trying to open up doors in the last few days whatever we have been doing here I've been repeatedly saying this this is not a teaching this is just

a method now seeing that I'm my responsibility is Limitless is not a teaching it's just a method if you see that if you become aware of that slowly you become all inclusive just the way life Is like every every aspect of life is inclusive you also become inclusive if you're accepting what is there right now absolutely once again you're inclusive they're not too different things just different types of vocabulary that's all essentially you want to move from exclusiveness to inclusiveness very dear friend of mine is um completely consumed with cancer And she's very very very

ill is there anything that I can do or she can do to come through this come through means get cured yes or di get better get better H get better get well now I'm not talking with any disregard to your friend but I want you to understand people need to die when and how is the only question isn't it so if death comes to us yes we will Do everything possible to save ourselves but if it goes beyond that let us learn to die gracefully let's not fight with it and fight with it like endlessly

you know it's a horrible way to die the way people are dying in Western countries is really a horrible way to die even though they're 859 staying in a hospital with full of pipes and needles all over them this is not it's okay if you die 2 years early What's the problem you die peacefully and gracefully that's more important isn't it see death is the last thing that you do in your life shouldn't you do it gracefully we must learn to accept death as a part of our life we are not wishing death but when

it comes let us learn to go through it gracefully you know if there is a possibility of saving ourselves living beyond that that is fine but what I see in all the Geriatrics homes in United States many people are living beyond their death just because of medical support and it's such a torture to themselves and to everybody you should see the way in some of the homes they're being treated not because of anything the people who work there after some time they get irritated because this dead body is walking around they don't understand anything they've

forgotten everything they like lost all their Senses because they've lived beyond their time if there was no too much medical input they would have gracefully died at a certain point isn't it there is no sense in stretching it one more month one more month one more month it doesn't make any sense but life is not understood that way we are thinking of always stretching it so if somebody's body is broken Beyond Redemption let's learn to digress fly let us make the person understand it's okay it's all right you know we all in the queue aren't

we so you are ahead of me isn't that great in any que you want to be ahead of everybody isn't it so I'm not trying to make fun of somebody's Illness but we should understand where one thing stops and the other thing begins isn't it religion is supposed to be the means Of peace attaining peace but in practicality in reality today every religion has got a base of fundamentalism and involve in terrorism can he not make an attempt to create a new world order where there is no religion at all now uh what you unfortunately

know as religion in the world today is just somebody's belief Systems somebody believes God is round somebody believes God is square somebody else believes he's a triangle that's a situation isn't it and you must understand this once you start believing in something which is not yet a reality for you you are bound to be in conflict with somebody else because somebody else is bound to believe something else no no no I believe in my God but I Am not a violent person I will not fight with anybody all this is just makeup if they provoke

you sufficiently you will fight like for example let's say you believe God has four hands I believe God has no hands these are two belief systems tomorrow out of your love for God you put a 100 ft St tall statue in kator city of course with four Hands but suddenly I feel so hurt these four hands look so ugly because God actually has no hands because that's my belief so tonight I will go to that statue I'm doing don't intend to cause any damage to your God just to make him the way he really is

without hands so I just cut off the Four Hands tomorrow what will happen to you you want to cut off my hands isn't It simply because you believe one thing I believe something else as long as people believe in something conflict is inevitable because you may say no no we are all Brothers we are all one we everything is okay with us all this bye-bye stuff when we really have to come to a point when I believe what I believe is right I will try to manifest it I will try to make it a common

thing everywhere isn't it yes once I believe what I Believe is the truth naturally I will try to impose it on other people people I don't call it imposition I call it saving you from ignorance yes or no once I firmly believe that this is the way God is I will try to put it on to you just to save you not to hurt you but you will get hurt because any imposition hurts when you resist I will use other methods to put it into you whatever those methods are Sword has been used used money

has been used every kind of inducement has been used isn't it simply because I believe one thing you believe another religion is not about belief system all religions started as a method to turn inward but it's an inward step an inward step can be taken only by an individual isn't it so it's a very intimate thing something Very very concerned with only with you nothing else to do with anybody else but when people try to organize this inward step naturally it gets distorted now we want to do our religion on the street religion cannot be

done on the street it can only be done within you if you become truly religious you must be Beyond any kind of conflict isn't it both within and Outside that is a whole Crux of the religion isn't it but today religion means conflict if you UT the word religion you're talking generally in terms of conflict that is happening in the world isn't it this is because you have reduced an inward step into your set of beliefs because if you have to take an inward step you have to transform yourself if you have to believe Something

you don't don't have to transform yourself you can do whatever nonsense you want and still believe God is up in the heaven isn't it yes the crudest people the cruelest people on the planet have always been talking about God isn't it so yes or no all the war mongers in the world have been talking about God isn't it so and God has been helping them see the moment you believe Something you have a new kind of confidence that's the biggest problem when idiots become very confident the world is in danger an intelligent person is constantly

hesitating with life with every step he wonders whether what he's doing is okay or not but a fool has absolute confidence and when his stupidity gets stamped by God that's it no looking back just can go on doing the Most idiotic things without any problem about it the very nature of your intelligence is such that if you do something stupid today tonight your intelligence will bother you why did I do this isn't it so but if you get God stamp on your stupidity you don't have to turn back and see you can do grossest things

on the planet and not bother about it feel very proud that you anyway going to go go to heaven because you did did all this Nonsense there is no experiential Dimension you're just believing something once you believe something you are belief and somebody else's belief are bound to clash somewhere the conflict in the world is not between good and evil please see this though people always claim it is so it is not true it is always one man's belief versus another man's belief so religion has become a problem because we have reduced it into just

a Set of beliefs if it was experientially true that you really felt God then could there be conflict there is no such possibility isn't it but uh because you growing from belief system you're not willing to make the effort of going beyond what you have gathered from others and looking at Life by yourself that is why there is conflict if you do not know there will be no Conflict if you know there will be no conflict at all but when you pretend to know there is bound to be conflict somebody who has so many questions

should never talk about bti because bakas have no questions that's why I'm telling you for you people I'm keeping the bti out because you are incapable of devotion if you talk devotion you will end up deception so better just slice everything and look what is inside Because your mind is made like this if I give you this and say you should never open this you should never open this just keep this with you this will take you to heaven in your sleep you would walk sleep walk and go open it isn't it so so that's

the kind of mind you have so don't talk now we'll see when those things change we'll talk about because I am not here to propound Philosophies for you I'm here just to give you a method that works for you not for some there was some great Baka somewhere where he was Dripping with ecstasy it doesn't matter that's not for you I'm not saying you will never be capable of that but right now with a thinking mind a mind which likes logic more than anything else with this mind don't talk B you'll just deceive yourself and

such a thing comes that Your mind and what your mind says is no more significant to you then bti will naturally come you don't have to do anything about it but right now what your mind says is very important for you isn't it yes or no when what your mind says is important for you do not talk bti it a waste of time and life you mentioned U different religions have got rituals today and um some of them took the dropped the signs and you know glorify the rituals and went Forward be it Hinduism or

anism in your experience have you had a chance to see that science is slowly coming back to the people and they the rituals are going down I just want to get a feel on that thank you uh in general Sciences are understood only as physical sciences which is a very gross way to live see the physical science has no answer for Life physical science and technology can only bring comfort and convenience to your life cannot solve your life situations Western societies are enough proof of this isn't it so yes they do not solve any problem

of humanity they bring much more comfort and convenience to our life definitely because of Science and Technology we are the most comfortable generation ever on this planet isn't it so so when we say Sciences let's Understand Sciences are also of esoteric nature Sciences are not just physical but today only physical sciences are being promoted as science about our other dimensions of Sciences are they coming back my whole work has been just to strive this strive for this we bringing this inner science into people's lives it's made sufficient impact but not enough because the problem that

Exists in the world is too big it needs much much much more work to make it happen it has definitely done something The Sciences have been brought back at least in some minimal way to common people as they understand it even in rural villages in tamilnad we have done this in about 1350 Villages right now and uh you see there is a change in the way they're looking at their life they making some effort to Change their living conditions which they thought is God ordained all these years they believed this is God's will this is

how we are now they're making some effort to change which is the only way life can change there's no overnight solution if we work at it if our whole life if we work work at it if we leave 10% change it's a tremendous thing cuz social realities cannot be changed like this people have tried to Change it with violent methods all you will do is you will replace one Tyrant with many that's all that will happen in the name of revolutions so right now we have set forth a revolution we call this silent revolution of

self-realization there a banner no whenever we talk about Revolution most of the time people are talking about changing somebody isn't it all the time rather see you wanting somebody else to Change is not a revolution this is a age-old problem mother-in-law wants the daughter-in-law to change daughter-in-law wants the mother-in-law to change isn't this an age-old problem is there a revolution in it what is revolutionary about it you want somebody else to change there is no Revolution about it I am willing to change this is a revolution this will bring about genuine change in the world

That I am willing to change my ways to make things happen this will bring about the change so this is the silent Revolution and it's a science as to how to change yourself one of the aspects of yoga is to uh take care of your body which is really the best and the most beautiful creation or of of God on the other side we are talking of Detachment from the body and that body is not sort of important so I mean there is a little Bit of a disconnect in my mind on that issue we

never said body is not important body is fine but body is limited isn't it yes body is a limited possibility when you're young you think body is unlimited but if you have little sense you can see body is very limited isn't it so is there something wrong with being limited nothing wrong it is just that your nature is such that it cannot Settle for anything limited please see yes once you come with a human form it cannot settle for The Limited if you give it this It'll ask for that if you ask for that it'll

if you give it that it'll ask for that if you give it that it'll ask for this endlessly It'll ask because it is seeking the unbounded so body can never really fulfill you because you will not settle for The Limited so we are talking about going Beyond the body not because we think something wrong with the body simply because you cannot settle for The Limited if you settle for The Limited today tomorrow you'll be frustrated with it you'll want something more something more something more more how much more do you want you want to become

unlimited please look at your desire your desire is always to become unlimited whatever you know through that it is trying to become Unlimited that's all so body the limitations of the body will not allow you to be fulfilled so we are seeing how to go beyond it this does not mean neglect the body this does not mean destroy the body this does not mean body is not important or body is wrong it's only through the vehicle of body all this nonsense you can do isn't it to destroy the vehicle what to do no we not

talking about destroying the body at all we're not talking about Ignoring the body but using the body to The Limited Dimension that it is and see how to go beyond that because if you don't see that you will never know fulfillment because body is a limitation body is a tremendous limitation isn't it it's a tremendous possibility but still a tremendous limitation isn't it um uh you were talking about um how religions can give you inspiration but not deliver deliberation um you gave Examples of how it can be dangerous when people have a really strong uh

religious belief that's not based on experience erience you know right looking at the world yes yes um and my question is do you feel like it can also when you say religion can be inspirational do you think that people can derive some limited but still valuable benefit from having religion you look at that man's life these men can be inspiration for Any human being isn't it as an inspiration yes so when you say religion every religion is somewhere around one human being isn't it except the Hindu way of life it's not around any human being

uh it is it is it is handled in a totally different way but all other religions are around one human being isn't it so so that one human being people are using him as an inspiration what we need is not Christians what we need is not Hindus What we need is not Muslims if we can can bring an element of Krishna or Jesus or Buddha into people's lives that would be wonderful isn't it but the problem is we have too many quarreling Hindus quarreling Muslims and quarreling Christians that's the problem if you could take these

men as an inspiration and bring a little bit of their life into your life life would be very different isn't it it would be very very Different but we have not done that we have only identified ourselves with this group or that group we've joined the party this party or that party we've joined and invariably we quarrel are there an inspiration definitely they are an inspiration for any human being isn't it and it would be best that we align them from those religions really you don't see Krishna as Hindu because he was not Hindu You

Don't See Jesus is Christian because he knew nothing about Christianity yes so if you align them from that religion and just look at them as men definitely they are fantastic men they are an inspiration for any human being isn't it they cover blown that's why they got crucified they couldn't stand undercover and uh they were not clever enough to create more undercover yogis All their CS blw that's why they got crucified if they had kept it under cover they wouldn't have been crucified isn't it they couldn't keep it under C for whatever [Music] reasons see

when a child is handicapped either physically or even mentally a child is not suffering parents are suffering isn't it a child is incapable but not Suffering have you noticed this even a mentally handicapped child he's not suffering actually he's more free of suffering than a lot of other children parents are suffering because their child is not like somebody else's child it's a parent who is suffering because the parent knows the consequence of this child living in the society he doesn't have certain capabilities what will happen to him tomorrow with these concerns the parent is Suffering

isn't it so the child is not suffering the child is incapable handicapped means just that handicapped the word itself says that so a handicap has come why a certain manufacturing defect that's what you're talking about about isn't it all this may sound very brutal to you the way I'm talking it's very brutal but I didn't create this Brutality life is like this isn't it yes your creator is brutal I'm only explaining his brutality I'm bringing Clarity to his brutality I did not create this brutality isn't it yes or no yes yes somebody is born with

half a brain I didn't create it but if you are saying this is the work of the Creator this is Creator's brutality either you see it the way it is and see what we can do out of it or You don't see it today we no more call them as handicapped children we call them special children there special because they're not like other children they're different that's a good way to look at it there special children it is just that because you're comparing the child to some other child you are thinking it is handicapped otherwise

it is a special child suppose Do you know you're printing currency notes all 100 rupe notes are supposed to be one way except the number but one 100 rupe note went crazy like this do you know a collector would pay a million million rupees to buy that 100 rupe note it's a special currency note of freaky one you can't buy anything out of it but still it is special currency note this is just like this a child something has gone not not the way it should go normally it's gone some other way you Don't have

to make everything into your suffering that's what I'm saying people who have normal children who have all their limbs and everything in place are they not suffering because the child is not listening to what you think they should do you'll suffer isn't it so your suffering has nothing to do with the handicap nothing to do with well-being your suffering is just that if anything happens that you think Should not happen you will suffer or in other words you want the whole existence to happen the way you think it should be it'll never be so in

what form it comes to you it doesn't matter it comes to you in the form of a handicapped child it comes to you in the form of a ruined business it comes to you in the form of death sickness which way it comes it doesn't matter but your demand is just this existence should happen according To your well it will not happen that way then what you do if it how do you deal with it it doesn't go to your will if the whole existence goes according to your will doesn't to now suppose it goes

according to your will your own existence yes the whole existence goes according to your will SEMA where should I go it should happen according to my will also isn't It so something things happen your way something happen my way the future seem very hopeful to you you have seen how it is in various places M so human nature may be same but still how it is going to be in the future is there any prediction what's going to happen in the future see uh if uh if my whole thing was to make a prediction then

why would we do all this Work it doesn't matter how Bleak the situation looks right now but don't ever under underestimate what is in a human heart what people really want don't underestimate that in 10 years time the whole world may just be changed into a complete different possibility you know it is just that people need sufficient poking to get them going but when they get going you don't know what They can do they can do something that's never happened on the planet till now isn't it isn't it so so don't try to predict future

see what kind of future do you want to create why do we always trying to predict future I want you to set a goal before I die I want to leave the world at least this much better wouldn't that be better instead of predicting future why Don't you set a goal for yourself before I leave this world I will make it at least this good if all of us set a goal like that definitely there's a wonderful future ahead isn't it we are we are hoping from the Stars some guidance will come stars are dumb

inanimate rocks okay you are supposed to have brains and intelligence they don't have all That they're just far away but they're just dumb unintelligent rocks isn't it so yes or no just because they are far away we don't have to attach such importance to them they're not guiding Our Lives human Destiny in human hands how we handle it that's what it will become if we handle it sensibly definitely there's a wonderful tomorrow if you handle it foolishly definitely There's going to be a terrible tomorrow isn't it so don't predict predictions means an insult to humanity

all predictions are a terrible insult to humanity isn't it isn't it so that means there is no value for what a human being is all this nonsense is happening simply because you have not realize the immensity of Being Human how big it is to be a human being It's not been realized the very wonderful stories in India you must have heard in India there are stories like this if gods have any problems they get into trouble they will come down to meet the sages and Saints for advice and consultancy you know that this is just

to tell you a human being can raise himself to such a stage that even the gods will have to seek advice from him just to tell you the Immensity of Being Human what it means so if you realize the immensity of being a human being then you won't predict you will create we just have to create not predict how do you measure one measures their own spiritual progress at individual level oh you want to meet him we'll give you a meter don't worry about your spiritual progress there's no such thing as Spiritual progress are you

becoming more available to it that's all the question is let's not talk about something which is not in your experience because if I talk about something which is not yet in your experience there are only two options either to believe me or disbelieve me isn't it believing doesn't get you any closer disbelieving doesn't get you any closer so let's talk about something that is in Our experience what condition what state of mind emotion body and let's leave the energy because that's not in your experience what condition of your body mind and emotion makes you more

available to life when the way you are right now you tell me if you are sad do you become more available if you're tense do you become more available if you're peaceful do you become more available if you're Blissful Do you become more available in which condition would you become more available to the life process if you're in atmost pleasantness you become more and more available to everything around you isn't it so right now you're feeling very happy this one comes and asks him stupid question you're okay with her that one comes and ask something

else you're okay with her also this one comes and ask something you're okay with That also you are in a certain state of unpleasantness you are irritated frustrated angry depressed about something this one comes and even tries to say something nice to you yes or no even to simple aspects of life you are more available only when you're in a certain state of pleasantness isn't it so let's measure by that standard if by the day if you are Becoming a more joyful human being you just keep accounts of this on a daily basis from yesterday

to today I'm a little more joyful if you're keeping accounts and if you're becoming more and more joyful by the day and your face is becoming like this is slowly is becoming like this that means you're progressing yes you're definitely progressing because spirituality is some not some nonsense up there it is about Becoming available to life process in its fullest possibility not just to the physicality not just to the mentality to becoming available to life process in its fullest scope this is spirituality see probably in this part of the world if I UT the word

prayer immediately people will think sitting down and saying something to somebody up there some of you may know simple English prayer some of you may know complicated Latin rabic Sanskrit Whatever kind of uh prayers but essentially prayer unfortunately has been understood as a way like it's some kind of a longdistance call prayer is not an act it's a certain quality that you bring into your life in somewhere in 1860s s missionaries came to central part of India which is now called as madya Pradesh and uh they were scouting the tribal districts because that is where

the potential conversions are there then they heard there is a particular Yogi around whom thousands of people are gathering so they thought he's buil some kind of a church and people are gathering let's go and see competition you know so they went there when they went There they couldn't believe this there was no church there was not even a home the Yogi was just sitting under a tree all he had was a loin cloth bare bodied he was just sitting there somebody who looks like he's not worth anything then they got a little encouraged okay

this is not much of a competition but then they found hundreds and thousands of people gathering around him then they were amazed oh what's Happening here he must be having some kind of power so they when they got appointment with him they asked what kind of prayers do you teach then he looked at them and laughed said oh you are man of cloth you are man of prayer aren't you you have done much prayer obviously in your life today you just see some prayer don't do it just see it I said how can we see

prayer he said Just watch me now and he took some vegetables and started cutting said this is my prayer just watch it qu carefully watch it this is the prayer so prayer is not just oal prayer is a way of involving your whole body and getting it into a certain attitude of receptivity of seeing prayer is essentially seeing that your presence here is so minuscule Actually you are just a speck of dust in this existence tomorrow morning if you disappear nobody's going to miss you a few people around you will cry for 3 days and

then they'll forget about you rest of the existence will just go on fine without you isn't it all of us disappear still this world will go on wonderfully well maybe better yes or no this self assumed importance that man has created within himself when you keep It aside you are in prayer if you manage to keep a the assumed importance that you have for yourself then you're in prayer you don't have to say anything a certain scientist in United States was working on the impact of cannibas and human consciousness for almost 18 years the United

States government gave him 30 kges of marijuana per year to experiment 18 years of Experimentation he produced nothing so during the late 80s when the drug situation was getting bad and they cut this uh Kota 30 CES of marijuana that they were giving him there's nothing doing we don't know where it's going you're 30 KS because you have done nothing he tried to uh explain that he has done so many things but still it's not come to conclusion but they said nothing doing and cut the Marana Kota so He moved to Israel the Israeli government

looked at his uh work and they decided to give him so they gave him the same 30 kgs of uh kilos of uh Marana for another 6 to 8 years then he came up with this he actually produce proof that within the human brain every human brain there are millions of cannibas receptors so this information what to do with this they do not know they threw it across they gave it to the Anthropologist they gave it to the physiologist they gave it to the neurologist they gave it to all kinds of people there are millions

of cannibas receptors in the human brain what is the explanation how why so Anthropologist said maybe at some point in his maybe everybody was doping which cannot be because in many parts of the world it doesn't even grow so various kinds of explanations came nothing sensible came out of it Then the neurologists after about 2 and a half years of looking into this in various levels they said when human being is in a certain state of experience the human system itself produces the necess chemicals for which it is waiting so these millions of Canibus receptors

are waiting for you to produce it those who could not produce it they try to put it from outside and damage the System look at me I'm always blissed out look into my and I'm stoned never been on a substance but always stoned because the very system does this so in India there's been enormous in the yogic systems there's enormous focus on the pional gland you know you know the pional gland for a long time the modern medicine almost ignored It they said the there so many things in this body which we not bothered about

it's because it's not concerned about day-to-day Health situation today the maximum that they have come to is they are beginning to say the secretions of the pineal gland if they're on if they're active there will be no mood swings in you that's not the point there is a whole system of yoga to activate the pineal gland if you activate this and if It generates sufficient amount of secretion you will be ecstatic every moment of your life simply every cell in your body will be bursting all the time now when you're like this if you eat

if you don't eat if you sleep if you don't sleep nothing matters because you're blissed out in this state everything is effortless just doesn't matter you can function at the best Because you can effectively use your body body and mind at its best there's enough medical proof for this only when you're in at most pleasantness otherwise you cannot use your body you cannot use your mind to its flest both this body and this mind will Ex you can explore the full potential of what it is only when you are in a sustained level of pleasantness

within you otherwise you are a damn issue by yourself all the time you are a issue by Yourself it doesn't work so whatever the effort that human being is making whether he goes to the temple goes to the bar wants to go to heaven this is a whole effort isn't it isn't this a whole effort he wants something larger than what is happening right now to happen to him isn't it so is not the why reason why he is drinking why he is praying why he's drugging and why he thinks he wants to go to

heaven He wants something more to happen isn't it look at this simply something more will happen only if your perception is enhanced not otherwise is that so so the whole system of yoga is only focused towards enhancing your perception if your perception is enhanced something more you don't have to look for it it is happening in such proportions you have to learn to handle It big things will [Music] happen a person is miserable because of some disability from his birth or he is miserable due to some disease it has happened not because of his doings

according to you such miserable people should leave the society for others Liv in happy how it is possible how to deal with such miserable people by the Society [Laughter] now nobody is miserable because of a disability suppose you had only one hand one hand let wouldn't you make you miserable it is just that everybody else has two hands you have only one that makes you miserable one hand less does it cause misery does it cause misery I'll come to you I know what you're saying one hand less or one eye less Wouldn't cause misery what

causes misery is everybody else has two I have only one that causes misery isn't it so a disease or a disability fundamentally does not cause misery it creates a certain physical situation misery is caused by you only by you nobody else but You misery is always self-created situations are happening some situations the way you like it some situations the way you don't like it some situations the way you can handle it some situations the way you cannot handle it this how life is happening but misery is caused by you isn't it so a mentally person

never suffers it is other people's attitude towards him which makes him suffer by himself he doesn't suffer Actually he's more joyful than most of the people or he just doesn't know what's happening he just doesn't know what is happening or generally he's much more happier than other people isn't it but it is your attitude towards him you constantly reminding him that he's not normal which makes him unhappy which makes him miserable it is you depriving him of many things that a human being needs Because of his disability which makes him miserable so misery misery is

not caused by any situation situations are there some situations we can handle some situations we cannot handle that's how life is so every situation that you cannot handle if you want to make yourself miserable or you have lot of opportunity every day and you're making use of it obviously that's why you're Making a case out of it why should miserable people will go to caves it will be good now a disabled people need not go to caves because they are not miserable by themselves because they have no idea of what is what all of you

are creating an opinion that you are not okay you are not okay you not okay that may make him miserable if you just see some people Come with two hands some people come with one hand some people will come with this bigger brain some people come with this bigger brain it is all a part of Nature and it is there what best we can do with them we do there would be no misery and disability isn't it isn't it so if you allowed your Humanity to function rather than your Prejudice to function then there would

be no misery in Disability so misery is not because of disability misery is caused by you because you're unconscious of what you're doing because the basic faculties in you your mind and body is not in your control that's why you're causing misery please look at your life and see four limbs are intact for you everything is right for you but still how many moments in 24 hours are you truly joyful very few isn't it if at all if You are that's an unfortunate way to live that's all I'm telling you s Guru if the creation

is perfect and the creator has done such a good job on us as you say why is there so much suffering in the [Laughter] world why do we need to depend on somebody's compassion to exist here so if Creator had done a good good job on [Laughter] us why why there is so much suffering in the world why we need to depend on other people's compassion and understanding to exist here this is like it happened once a little Boy came home with a $10 bill but luk in [Music] Ohio a little boy little boy came

home with a $10 bill his mother asked he said I found it his mother asked Luke did you really find it are you sure he said sure ma'am I even saw the man looking for [Applause] It why there so much mystery if this is a perfect job it's such a perfect job that it gives you the opportunity to be whichever way you wish to be if creation had not given you the necessary opportunity to be what you wish to be then there would be no possibilities isn't it then there would be no such thing as

liberation So why create a bondage and then Liberation why could you be liberated then there would be no creation only because there is creation Now the possibility of going beyond that now in animal nature and in other forms of life that you see around you every kind there is not much possibility the possibility is just to Survive procreate carry on with life and die one day because there is not much possibility there is not much misery either you don't don't see other creatures of the planet suffering like human beings their suffering is purely physical if

they're physically harmed they're in pain even in pain they do not know the kind of suffering that a human being Knows human being knows this suffering not because creation gave the suffering to you creation just gave you the freedom to make whatever you wish to out of yourself you're making suffering out of yourself or a large population of the world has decided to make suffering out of themselves that is their choice physical realities sometimes are comfortable sometimes are not Comfortable that is so we have G been given the necessary intelligence to create necessary comfort for

us ourselves that's not a issue really if we have no problems with each other creating comfort for all the population in the world is not a problem it's not at all a big problem really simply because we have inner problems simply because this Freedom which should have been a benediction has become a curse Upon Humanity right now what human beings are suffering is not their bondage they're suffering their freedom if you suffer your bondage it's all right but if you suffer your freedom that's tragedy right now human beings are unfortunately suffering their freedom this moment

you can make anything out of yourself you can make Joy out of yourself you can make suffering out of yourself what to do if % of the people or 90% of the people are choosing to make misery out of themselves that's not creation's fault just gave you the freedom so that you could go beyond once you have come as human you are not trapped anymore other creatures are trapped in their own instincts beyond that they cannot Think you have instincts for survival but still you have the POS possibility of going Beyond this instincts if you

don't choose to go beyond that means still enough suffering has not touched you because it's unfortunate in the world that very few people transcend out of their intelligence most people have to be Thrashed by life only then they transcend only then they will think of going Beyond otherwise no I don't know if you're aware of this Luke you came early but in India if you if you tell somebody that I'm living in an ashram they will ask you why what what went wrong what happened to your life so they believe only after something really goes

wrong you'll go to The asham okay because most people's intelligence is such because they kept their brains in Cal storage they think they're going to use it in future so they can only seek anything beyond when something really goes wrong with their life till then even if something really goes go Wrong they will only pray for a better life next time [Music] now you don't have to depend on anybody's Compassion or understanding the whole world can live under the umbrella of your compassion and your understanding I would like to see that you stand up that

way that the world lives under your compassion understanding you don't live in other People's compassion and understanding if you have any dignity that's not that's how you should live isn't [Music] it isn't it so s it is well known that desire is the cause of all sorrows and tension but being a wife and a mother being being a wife and a mother I can't get rid of these Desires I seek your valuable advice in this regard thank [Laughter] you now it's not because you're a wife an internal mother that your desires have come if you

were Nobody's Wife you were probably you were Desiring when you were Nobody's Wife you were Desiring Desiring to be somebody's wife now that you're somebody's wife you Desire to have a child and become a mother now that you have a child now you are saying it is these two entities which is making me desire it is not true if you were nobody's nothing even then your desire would still burn within you is that so yes or no if you're nothing to nobody in the world still still your desire would burn isn't it so please don't

think your desires are because of your child or Your husband or your family or whatever any way you would desire because that's your nature now you made a statement in the question that desire is the source of all misery desire is not the source of all misery unfulfilled desire is the source of all misery isn't it isn't it so desires fulfilled are the source of Your joy unfulfilled desires is the source of your misery now what to do with the desire shall we kill the desire I know people have been teaching you such things you

must kill all your desires unless you destroy your desires your misery will not go this teachings have come to you isn't it now if You want to destroy all your desires all you will have is you will have a great desire to destroy all your desires and you will remain eternally unfulfilled I don't want any desires is this a desire is this a desire or no yes so if you try to play tricks with this it's not going to work because desire is not Desiring for Anything in particular the energy which you call as desire

is not different from the energy that you call as life if you want to move from point A to point B you need a desire isn't it now what brought you here today it is not your bus or car or something else it is your desire which has brought you here today isn't it what is it that will take you home it is your desire which will take you home what is it that which will make you eat It is your desire which will make you eat so what you call as desire is not any

different from what you call as is life the life is desire the very basis of your life is desire isn't it so if I tell you kill the desire the only way is to hang yourself there is really no other way now I want to die that is also a desire isn't it yes or no so do not deceive yourself with this Things desire is the very essence of your life but at the same time you also know the desire is an unending thing if you fulfill one the next one will be ready if you

fulfill that the next one will be ready it keeps you on all the time and obviously some desires will be unfulfilled and those unfulfilled desires cause much misery to you if you look at the desire actually when we started this is what we were looking at we just did not use the word Desire there is something within you Longing To Be little more than what you are right now isn't it that is desire so your desires ultimate goal is unboundedness the infinite nature but because you're unaware you are giving it an unconscious expression for the

longing that is wanting to become unbounded so you don't have to destroy your desire because you cannot Can anybody destroy their desire is it possible there is no way because that's life it is just that you have to make your desire into your conscious process right now it is functioning unconsciously because you right now your desires are not even about you please look at this right now you're living in dandrum or t anantapuram your neighbor has a big car What is your desire you want to have two cars like that now you don't know all

these cars you are living in a remote place and your neighbor has one big buffalo what is your desire you want to have two buffal like that so your desire is just a reaction to the social situations in which you're living isn't it this is so because this longing to expand is finding unconscious Expression if you make your process of Desiring into your conscious process then desire is no more a problem desire is a wonderful vehicle which will take you places even if you want to reach the ultimate you need a desire isn't it yes

or no anyway the desire in you is longing for un unboundedness it is longing for unlimitedness it is longing for the ultimate nature you just have to bring awareness to it if you bring Awareness your Desiring process it is a wonderful instrument if it is finding unconscious expression then it makes you run like madman all the time it keeps you running endlessly so being a wife being a mother it's extremely important important now that you are a mother not a small responsibility you brought another human being into this Planet now what kind of human being

you produce is a very huge responsibility isn't it it is not just about reproduction what kind of Next Generation you create is in your hands as a mother isn't it yes what kind of people are going to live on this planet in the next generation is decided by the mothers of today isn't it when such a responsibility you have you cannot afford to live unconsciously you must become conscious especially the woman Must become conscious it's very very important how have we been assigned to this particular uh part of the planet in terms of people uh

in terms of parents in terms of people uh this is in terms of existence in this planet and the other other question is uh which again triggers my uh belief in God is who's the person who controls our life before we are born and after our death so you believe lots of things so you believe before you were Born you were somewhere after you dead you're going to be somewhere else everything you believe too many assumptions when you have so many assumptions no way to approach truth isn't it so if you want to approach truth

the first thing is you don't assume anything is it so if you're interested in truth if you're searching for truth that means you have not assumed anything is it so If you already made your assumption you just trying to find a confirmation for your assumption that is not seeking truth a true seeker of Truth has no assumptions he's just looking shall we just look or shall we try to confirm your assumptions conf you want confirmation you're right is does that get you any closer if I tell you your beliefs are right does it get you

any closer to Truth does it you feel better oh okay I've been right but nothing gets solved isn't it life doesn't get solved does it no so confirming your belief systems doesn't mean anything this is a big problem with human beings they want to be right all the time it's a biggest problem in fact it is the basis of all conflict in the world I am right you are wrong this is the problem isn't it isn't It so what I believe is right what you believe is wrong isn't this the basis of all problems in

the world whether it's within the family or in the community or in the world or wherever yes shall we eliminate the problem a little bit the first thing you need to do is after all there are your beliefs and your beliefs are not original picked up isn't It your priest or mullah or father or mother somebody put it into you isn't it so picked up from somebody it depends how powerfully they worked on you and they work pretty powerfully because the business is at stake otherwise so what you assume may have nothing to do with

reality now you're trying to understand something which is beyond the physical with physical context it won't Happen you're trying to perceive something which is beyond physical through sense perception such a thing cannot happen now you want to measure the depth of the ocean but you went with a foot scale you will obviously come with wrong conclusions isn't it so if you want to measure the depth of the ocean your first business is to get the right kind of instrument yes yes or no that's your First business that's all I'm saying you want to know something

beyond the physical first thing that you need to do is to have a perception which is beyond five senses which can perceive that which is not physical only then you perceive otherwise you can only believe or disbelieve isn't it if I tell you God is actually in my pocket this many people can believe me this is a ridiculous thing oh we don't Believe that but I can tell you a more elaborate story if you want which we can work on and make you believe in isn't it right now God is in my pocket this many

people believe me this many people disbelieve me have these people gotten any closer to God than they were before have they or have these people gone any further away no nothing changes isn't it so why are we wasting our time trying to confirm our Assumptions you must enhance your perception because only by perceiving you will know there is no other way to know is it so you will know anything only when you perceive it till then you do not know it is that a reality is that a reality people who are not on talking terms

with me is that a reality if you perceive you know if you do not perceive you do not know you're Unwilling to admit I do not know so you believe isn't it if you are just trying to pass the Social test belief is a good way to do it but you want to really know then belief is not a good way to do it belief gives you confidence and fools getting confidence is dangerous do you understand when idiots become very confident is very very dangerous isn't it So do you see intelligent or hesitant stupid or

confident have you seen this great confidence because when you simply believe something you will have great confidence you'll have no doubt about anything because you don't apply yourself to anything you're 100% sure you see George Bush how confident he is he's very confident isn't he doesn't he seem like confident very confident he Came to India and declared I am a believer I A True Believer I thought you don't have to say it can't we see you must be a believer otherwise you don't walk blind into situations if you're somebody with sense you will look around

isn't it you would see what is there and what is not there because you're a Believer not just in God in so many other things the most sensible way to start Your life is what I know I know what I do not know I do not know once you come to this sincerely you will see your knowing will constantly go on expanding on a daily basis otherwise the moment you believe you are stagnant belief is death actually Mark said is the opim religion is opim because it puts people to sleep he's very right it's put

people to sleep Isn't it hasn't it sleep is comfortable what's wrong with it why sleep why don't you die it is even more comfortable do you know that cuz anywhere you believer after all your God is waiting why don't you go yes isn't it cuz anyway you know when you die you'll go to God what is the problem why are you waiting going to this hospital all this Nonsense why don't you go why are you delaying your progress towards God that's not right you're not a True Believer isn't it on a certain day don't sleep

on me okay A man was going about selling hats in the tropical heat of India Village to Village selling hats in the afternoon he was very tired came and sat under a tree opened his Pack at lunch eat it doed off after some time he opened his eyes to his dismay all the hats were gone he looked around where are the hats where are the heads he couldn't find them anywhere just by chance he looked up there he saw a whole bunch of monkeys sitting there heads s he screamed at them they screamed back at

him he yelled they y he abused they Abused he tried to pick up whatever he couldn't throw it at them they picked up whatever they couldn't thrw it back at him out of sheer frustration not knowing what to do what to do he took his hat and flung It On The Ground not knowing what to do helplessly all the monkeys took their hats and flung It On The Ground he picked up these hats and went about selling hats that was in early 20th century This is 2009 November another hat seller going about selling hats in

the summer season and in the afternoon he came and sat under a tree he opened his packed lunch ate promptly fell asleep when he woke up the hats were gone he didn't look around he looked straight up all the monkeys were sitting with hats on he got up and Jed they all Jed with him he made faces funny faces at him at them they made funnier faces at him he had all the fun he wanted to have with them and then he took his hat and flung It On The Ground a baboon of a monkey

came down picked up the Hat walked towards him gave him a tight slap in the face and said you fool you think only you had a grandfather there is scientific evidence that monkeys are Evolving about human beings there is no such thing because what is human cannot evolve unconsciously when you were a monkey you I'm sorry I did not say this Charles darn you know not me okay I'm not calling you a monkey Charles Darwin said all of you were monkeys your tail fell away and you became human when you were a monkey you did

not Desire I want to be human nature just pushed you on but once you become human now either you evolve consciously or you stagnate that's all the choice you have from here you cannot evolve unconsciously because now what you call as human is not an established state please see this every other creature has established states of what they are what is human is not established this moment you can be Godlike next moment you can be brute likee isn't it isn't it so what is human he's a flux you can be anything you want and this

is the human being struggle right now human beings are not suffering their bondage they are suffering that freedom you could choose to be anything you want right now this moment you could choose to be whichever way you wish to be right now within yourself this is the struggle isn't it if your life also was Fixed as the animal life is fixed this is how you will be you wouldn't be struggling so much you wouldn't be experiencing as much pain and misery that human beings are experiencing right now isn't it see for example a tiger is

born a tiger is not sitting and wondering how will I become a good tiger how to become a good tiger go should I go to the tiger College just eat enough food if you eat well he becomes a good tiger isn't it You are not like that you born as a human being to become a good one how many things you have to do whatever you do till the end you don't know whether you made it or not yes or no socially in a particular society you can look at people and say okay compare to

this person I'm better but by yourself you do not know whether you are this way or that way isn't it because what is human is not an established State every other creature it's a fixed State they eat well they will become that if you eat well at the most your body will grow nothing else will happen isn't it so everything else have to be strived for because Nature has left you free to become whatever you want to become and right now humanity is suffering its freedom not its bondage if you're suffering your bondage it's bad

enough but it's Okay because if you suffer your bondage you will want to become free if you suffer your freedom it's a tragedy isn't it isn't it so once you start suffering your freedom it's tragic because what is the way out of Freedom there's a way out of bondage where is the way out of freedom I can bind myself please see in how many ways you're trying to bind yourself you're trying to find a way out of Freedom there is no way out of Freedom there is a way out of bondage but there is no

way out of Freedom isn't it freedom is a benediction if you're aware freedom is a curse if you unaware so right now don't curse your freedom you just have to become more aware starting with this how this works if you become aware then this freedom is such a fantastic thing such a beautiful thing it is because you could be whichever way you Want you could be whatever you want right now within yourself no animal no creature has this Freedom except the human creature isn't it isn't it so shall we exploit this or no if you

do not choose if you remain a compulsive creature you cannot call yourself a full flesh human being that's why I said it's an evolutionary problem only when you are able to do everything by choice you can say I'm Human because a human being essentially means he is what he is by choice if he becomes compulsive he's like any other creature biological that's all nothing more will [Music] happen once happened G the Buddha you heard of him yes everybody heard of Gam so uh Buddha is not his name his name is G Sidharta he became a

Buddha so he's not the only Buddha in the world there have been thousands of them and they still are so gutama was sitting in a large Congregation of people one morning an early morning earlier than this okay a man arrived and stood there in the shadows this man is a great devotee he's a devote of Rama you heard Of [Music] Rama not Ramy Rama Rama is uh one of the most popular deities in India if you do not already know this in India we have 36 million gods and goddesses it's a very rich country so

he is a great devotee of Rama the devotees in India not now and Not everybody but those who take this seriously they will not utter any other word than the name of God that they believe in so if they want you to come they'll say ram ram if they want you to go ram ram if they want something ram ram no other word but Ram the clothes are all printed ram ram they only ram ram they live ram [Music] ram they devoted their whole life to God you are smart you're not like that you kept

you kept God like Insurance just in case something goes wrong I have also paid my premium everything that you need to do you do it yourself you kept God like Insurance you're smart but this man invested his whole life in God total AG is passing away little doubt has Come are there people here who don't believe in God nobody no leftist no only one okay what's your name John John only John nobody else I have doubts so uh little doubt has come he knows there is God just a little doubt Suppose there is no God

I'm wasting my whole life doing ram ram ram see this doubt will come to you Only if you invest whole your whole life life you invest just 10 minutes in a week then you will not get this doubt it's all right what's the problem if you invest your life completely into God then within 3 days doubt will come am I wasting my life just doing this and uh there are other people who don't believe see look at this John he doesn't believe for him also son comes up in the morning for him also flowers Blossom

from him him also life happens looks like he's having a better time than me it's a little doubt he knows there is God just a little doubt now there is an enlightened being here he wants to confirm but after being a well-known devotee for a long time because he did not just go to the temple he built many temples at this stage in his life how to ask whether there is God or not not now so he came early morning stood in the Shadows there and asked this inevitable question is there God Gama looked at

the man and gave a clear emphatic no here this large Congregation of disciples this has always been a struggle in their their mind is there God or no God is there God or no God wof one one big relief whenever they ask such a question to GMA he just becomes silent he doesn't Say anything for the first time he gave a clear answer no God Joy spread across the congregation just the struggle is that God or no God is over the enlightened one has declared there is no God the message spread across the [Applause] town

through through the Day Celebrations happened because just imagine the freedom of it No God means nobody sitting up there keeping accounts of what you did and what you did not do to punish you burn you in hell or do this or that life is completely yours so through the Day Celebrations happened everybody is in great Jo Joy the evening once again the congregation is sitting another man came he also standing in those Shadows this man is a charvaka charvaka Means in India their groups of people who are known as charas these chakas are out and

out materialists they don't believe anything other than what they can see probably the is the only culture that allows this you will see actively missionaries of God going from Village to Village spreading their God message and missionaries of no God going from Village to Village arguing with people And proving to them how there is no God probably this is the only culture that allows that anywhere else they would be killed so if you want you can spread God or if you want you can spread no God this is true democracy you know this has been

there like this for thousands of years people come and set up arguments in the village and they prove to you how there is no God so this is an expert charvaka Whatever kind of believer you are if you talk to him for 10 minutes he'll prove to you no God for thousands of people he's proved no God no God no God age is passing little doubt has come Suppose there is God when I go there will he leave me and all these Believers say that he's got all kinds of torture equipment up there so because

I went about proving to everybody that he doesn't exist he may Torture me much more he knows there is no God he's proved to thousands of people there is no God just a little doubt now there's an enlightened being here he wants to confirm so he appeared there in the evening and he asked the same inevitable question is there God Gama looked at the man and said yes once again turmoil started morning he said no God they were All really happy in the evening he says there is God so what what's the game G is

trying to play see if you believe that is God or if you believe there is no God you're in the same boat you believe something that you do not know I believe this you believe that doesn't make any difference you can believe whatever you want yes everybody can believe whatever They want in need not have anything to do with reality as such if you see I do not know the Longing To Know will arise within you if the longing arises the seeking arises if the seeking arises the possibility of knowing [Music] exists inner beauty yes

if you have the right kind of eyes everything is absolutely beautiful There's no relative thing in this relative thing is a social Factor again it's a training it's depends on what kind of data has gone into your mind but if you're in a certain state of joy and you look at anything Everything Is Beautiful when you're unhappy only certain things are beautiful certain things are ugly when you're very happy you look at anything everything looks abs absolutely Beautiful see there are many ways to look at this one simple way is right now you may be

identified with many things starting from your physical body to your mind to your education to your religion to your Society to various things that you hold in your life but when you simply sit here if you simply sit with me right now you're just a piece of life isn't it a certain amount of Life Energy that's all you are are isn't it so Identified with many many things but fundamentally you're just a certain amount of Life Energy so this life energy which I which you call as myself at this moment this life energy sometimes has

been very joyful has it been has it been yes please say yes the otherwise it's tragedy sometimes it's been utterly miserable sometimes very peaceful sometimes Turmoil sometimes Agony sometimes ecstasy this has happened to this isn't it so this life energy which you call as myself is capable of all these things so if this life energy is capable of all these things if you were given a choice what kind of expression Your Life Energy should find right now in this moment what would you choose Agony or ecstasy easy easy definitely ecstasy so if there was a

conscious choice about How to keep your life energies right now definitely you would have kept yourself absolutely joyful and ecstatic only because a large part of you is happening unconsciously other things which you do not want are happening within you what you do not want is happening in the world you cannot stop it 100% only to some extent we manage these things but within you you are the only ingredient in the world there are a million things things see if We want to create a situation the way we want it we need the cooperation of

100 people around us all of them will never cooperate 100% they will all play the game that way isn't it in any given situation even if you're just two people in the family you cannot have the situation 100% the way you want it yes or no this is the reality with outside but with the inside you are the only reality nobody in the world happens your way At least this one person must happen your way isn't it but right now even this person is not happening your way that's why you're asking what is the way

to Joy your mind is not happening the way you want it your body is not happening the way you want it your emotion is not happening the way you want it nor your life energies are happening the way you want it we need to do something about it doesn't it if all these four are Happening the way you want them you would definitely be joyful every moment of your life isn't it irrespective of what's happening around you so we need to explore the technology because it's a subjective technology because the ingredient is you it's about

you unless we create a certain atmosphere of commitment and focus to look Beyond certain things that you're identified with right now it will not be possible to explore this the Reason why the spiritual Sciences especially in this country which was so rich in the mystical Traditions has become so ridiculous is people try to do it anywhere and everywhere without necessary committed [Music] atmosph you have talked about K yoga being a path for the tough people uh are there any women Crea yogis on the path women women Crea yogis on the path there have been but

very Few because Kaa yoga demands a [Music] certain extreme sense of discipline and perseverance at certain stages of its sad generally it's not that it's not possible but generally women did not choose K yoga because they don't like that kind of Hardship it is not necessary that Kaa yoga should mean hardship no but biologically a woman is slightly disadvantaged when it comes to K yoga not essentially so but to a certain extent she is disadvantaged but but what I have seen and [Music] known is the general Kaa yoga that was Taught was mostly designed for

a male because most of the practitioners were male so generally only men walked the path of Kaa yoga because it involved a certain discipline and it involved a certain taking away from the normal situations of Life which was not possible at all in this in this culture for a woman because By the time she was eight or nine she was married by the time she was 15 she had a child so the question of she going into such atmospheres where Kaa which Kaa yoga demands was not available so traditionally it got established like Kaa yoga

means it's for men only not because yoga is of that nature because social conditions were of that nature so all the practices that were designed and Structured by various Masters were all male oriented because the disciples were male accordingly they structured the processes this does not mean no woman has walked K yoga path no many have but they were a very small minority so not too many practices were designed for them but the systems that we have structured here are suitable for women also they're doing well with their practices so can a woman walk K

yoga yes She can but if she wants to walk Kaa as a 100% path she's slightly disadvantaged she's come with a little handicap so she needs little extra effort if she's willing to do that but it's always best if one wants to progress to mix all aspects of life to create a proper combination of these four dimensions of Gana Karma K and Biti and in a woman generally the emotional dimension in him in her is more dominant than other dimensions it's good to make use of that why give up an advantage and take up an

handicapped position is better to make use of the advantages that she has sguru you mentioned about the fact that uh I mean a true devote is a one who is willing to like give uh himself up and his agendas how does one work With this philosophy in let's say any work in a in this corporate world or you cannot in this business you just cannot because you have your own agendas so don't waste your time and devotion you must explore other ways devotion means taking your emotion to its highest pitch yes isn't it so you

have various kinds of emotions devotion is held as the highest Form of emotion because it's least entangling it's liberating so taking your emotion to its highest pitch devotees are insane people they're not reasonable people as far as the world is concerned they're very beautiful people people within themselves but as far as the society is concerned they're usually insane people your mirabas I don't know if you heard of the South Indian devotees akam Mahad all these people are very insane people you can't live with them after they are gone you can worship them when they are

there nobody could understand what the hell is happening with these people I know mea is so woried in the northern part of the country there is a wonderful book called cold written by Karan narar this is life perspective of mirabai's Husband let's say you have a wife who believes she is krishna's wife not yours all the time she's going into such states that it's like Krishna is with him with her she's dancing with him she's loving him she's kissing him she's everything okay she's so deeply involved now you are the husband are you going to

appreciate appreciate her devotion or go insane with your own Problems isn't it so this book is the husband's perspective of mea's Life how he experienced mea because devotees are like that they don't belong to the logical dimension of Life they are of a different this thing devotion is one one of the quickest ways to attain but you won't fit into normal social and other situations it's not possible if you want to fit into normal situations your family and social Situations and still pursue spirituality I'm not saying devotion is completely absent in you there is a

part of you your emotions are there so naturally certain amount of devotion happens here and there but you can't choose it as a path because you still want life to happen the way you want it when you want life to happen the way you want it you should just learn to use your body and mind the way you want it Then only things will happen the way you want it isn't it you can also attain through your intelligence you can also attain through your physical action you can also attain by transforming your inner energies but

you are not just any one of them you are a combination so we are choosing a combination of these things so that without disturbing external realities you can still evolve if you want to preserve the External realities and still evolve then naturally there are compromises you go slowly you are not bothered what happens to your your corporate world or to your husband or wife or child or anything you just want to grow then it's very quick you want to preserve this also but you want something else to happen that is why we going slowly with

different people we do different things there are some people who are not concerned about all those Things with them we work in a different way now you are people who want to preserve the external situation but still you want an internal possibility so we are going slowly I'm combination of all these things not putting anything to a high pitch everything trying to raise to the next level of experience not to the ultimate we just seeing how to push you to the next level of experience devotion and Corporation corporate world will not go devotion and Family

life will not go devotion and anything will not go devotion means everything else has to dissolve that's why I'm saying don't talk devotion it's just deception some moments when your experience raises to a certain pitch a moment of devotion may happen to you just wait for that moment it's very wonderful but don't try to pursue devotion as your policy because there's A very deep deception in it namaskaram s guruji could you please explain me what is ARA what is ARA a u r a r oh every substance on the planet has a certain field of

energy around it or what you see as substance on the planet is actually energy this a scientific fact the whole existence is energy one part of the energy has Manifested itself into a certain level of reverberation which makes it a physical form another part of the energy does not manifest itself into your physical form but it still has a form so that form which is not yet physical or refuses to become physical but still maintains a form that's an AA or that's being called an aura or a set of many Kinds one can carry from

a pitch black Aura to a pure white Aura between these two there are a million Shades essentially the physical mental emotional and the energy status of who you are right now in a certain way is represented by your aura or it's Visible through the AA too many fancy things have been told about it by the particularly by the new age Community today lot of it is fiction but there is some substance to it I don't think uh you should concern yourself about such things don't try to see people's A or is the periphery of the

person I would like you to look a little more at the core of the being rather than looking at the surface Sur faces for the doctors because they want to fix some physical part that may be going wrong with somebody surface should not be the interest of a spiritual Seeker this is more surface than the Skin what you call as aura is even more superficial than the skin because it's even further out so it may have certain if one has the necessary Insight may have certain give you certain access to the nature of the person

but you're only looking at the psychological emotional and physical structure of the human being it is best people on the spiritual path Ignore the aura yours and everybody's and focus on the core if you're focused on the core you will have a wonderful Aura if your focus is on the surface you will have a miserable Aura so don't keep looking at other people's Aura on your your [Applause] own it's time you look to the core of this one and that one if you look at the core of this one Then naturally you'll see the core

of everything because in core this and that doesn't exist in core only this exists on the surface this and that exists so you know people's head beauty is Skin Deep yes certain type of beauty is Skin Deep you wouldn't like somebody with their skin pulled off if you saw somebody skin peeled off you wouldn't think they're beautiful even if they're The same people that way yes but Aura is not even skin deep it's not worth spending time on it if you become conscious of the core the surface may be just visible to you but you

trying to see and read people's or is a stupid thing to do you'll waste your life trying to do such things if you're conscious if your perception is enhanced you may see Things it's good to see things which are there if you start seeing things which are not there that's uh you have to you are graduating from asham to Asylum if lot of you go in that direction we can transform the asham into an asylum yes so it's very important we want to keep this as an asham you want to make it into an asylum

no we want to keep this as an Asham so please if you want to keep this as an asham you must be focused on the core not on the surface too much surface means we'll make the place into an asylum all kinds of nut cases who believe they are spiritual there are too many like that on the planet they are the biggest deterrent for other people to seek any spirituality because of too many nut cases like This right thinking people who are little more sensible don't want to have anything to do with spirituality so please

don't make this into an asylum if you need to go we will promote you but don't turn the place into an asylum the ancient temples in India if you're really talking about ancient temples yes the temples were built to a certain science called a you heard of agama there are five basic parameters With which the Temple was built if the temple is built according to that the size and shape of the temple the size and shape of the parikrama the size and shape of the garbag gar the sanctum the size and shape of the idol

the mudra that the idol holds the mantras that are used to consecrate this if all these things are properly matched it will create a tremendous field of energy you need to understand Indian temple is not a place of Prayer there is nobody leading a prayer in the Indian temple the Hindu temples there is nobody to lead your prayer you go there and do what you want nobody telling you you must sit down and pray and do this or that though now you started the request paying five rupees and telling God what he should do you

started that recently otherwise your culture told you if you go to the temple they did not even tell you you must pray but they told you you Must sit there for some time is that so still exist in South India know North it is gone in South India still families are aware that if you go to the temple you must sit there for a while now you just touch your bottom and go away touch your bottom to the floor and go away or you sit there and discuss your neighbor or the cinema or something else

the idea was if there is a strong field of energy you simply sit there quietly and embe this so the culture Told you first thing in the morning you have a shower go sit in the temple then go out and do do your business because once you step into the world whatever kind of transaction you do my profit is your loss your loss is my profit this is how it is isn't it yes every transaction is like this isn't it so so when you transact like this you tend to get worked up because somewhere you're

losing somewhere you're gaining one day May Losses may be more than the gains it is not just in terms of money in every relationship transaction also there is loss and gain isn't it so yes so you could get worked up so morning you go and EMB this and go into the world so that you pass through the world smoothly at the same time it was also said people on the spiritual path need not go to the temple nowhere else in the world such wisdom exists do you know this people on the Spiritual path need not

go to the temple the Indian temple does not look forward to people on the spiritual path because they have their own self-charging methods this is a public charging Place public battery charging place is what a temple is now you invented your own self charging method no need to go to the public place you are from tiur no so if you live in tiur you have to go To the public tap to get your water now you got your own tap in the house now you're not going to go and stand in the queue there isn't

it that's all the difference is that's a very wise way of conducting things but now you're building the temples just the way you build your shopping complexes probably for the same purpose that's a different game altogether about the lingas in the Temple just some time ago usually I don't go to the temples unless they're architecturally importance I never go to the temple because I have nothing to seek in a temple I got self-charging systems there is nothing the temple can add to me in any way so I don't go I don't even go to this

one I just created it for people once in the way when something is happening I go otherwise I Don't so some time ago when I was in Himalayas I just went to this utar Kashi Temple oh my God this lingum you must see it is bursting with energy 2,250 years old it is like it was done yesterday it is bursting with energy you must just go there and see just the presence is so fantastic Jinga is also like that but that is unidimensional Linger so it is more aggressive this happens in a c way Because

it's multi-dimensional it is much more subtle but there it is very very unidimensional and strong said Guru what are your views on adultery how does it affect one spiritually if there is no love in your heart you are anyway an adulteress for convenience and comfort if you have given yourself to any aspect of life not necessarily a man or a woman for that Matter without love in your heart if you given yourself to any aspect of life you are an adulterer isn't it so am I against adultery yes in that sense yes with every aspect

but if you're talking about what is considered socially as adultery it is individual and for every action that you perform there is a consequence most people I know they are not willing to face the consequences When they come but without fa consequences they want to have situations that they enjoy then anybody who is not willing to joyfully accept the consequences that come to them for whatever actions they perform is just a fool and a fool is somebody who is against himself in so many Ways anybody who works against himself anybody who turns himself against himself

or herself against herself what shall we say about them so with your actions if you're turning yourself against yourself because you do things senselessly you're not doing things by choice you're doing things Senselessly simply because you have given in to a certain aspect of your body or your emotion or something then definitely it's not okay because you will bring suffering to yourself anything that bring brings suffering to any human human being especially to himself is it okay anybody who simply goes about bringing suffering to themselves for whatever reason they have It doesn't make sense isn't

it I'm not against or for anything I want you to live sensibly what makes atmost sense to you you must do that is this wrong is that wrong that's not the point are you living your life sensibly that's the question or are you a slave of something and trying to find approval from me for some nonsense that you do No I have neither approved any action or disapproved any action as long as you are as long as you're behaving sensibly about what you're doing a senseless life is sin isn't it if you live sensibly in

a way that Creator will be proud of you it's fine if you've just given into either the ways of your body or your emotion or your mind and going against yourself it's not Sensible so such senselessness is it wrong I'm not even saying it's wrong it's just very limited and stupid I have never termed anything right or wrong in my life but anything that's limited and stupid is not worthwhile that's all so I would say adulter is not worthwhile is it right or wrong who am I to pass a judgment on anything about life I

don't Pass judgments about life but it is stupid and limited to do anything which causes suffering to yourself it is stupid and senseless to give into something which seems to be everything today and tomorrow which will make you feel feel like a fool isn't it it's it's stupid to give into something which makes makes you think Today it's everything and tomorrow morning it makes you look like a fool to yourself not to somebody else that is a senseless way to live you must live in such a way with so much sense that God should be

God should be of you if you show such sense there's no right and wrong with your life if you don't have such sense everything is wrong with your [Music] Life pram sguru I get up at 6:00 a.m. I'm sorry I I get up at 6:00 a.m. mhm hry Berry cooking get the children ready start by 8:30 a.m. to the office back from the office by 6:30 then freshening up the children myself prayer cook food homework sleep in this hectic schedule where can I fit yoga in my life now you get up at 6:00 and whatever

time you go to bed you have a busy day where is the time for your you have time to eat you have time to gossip you have time to work you have the time to take the care of everything but you have no time to take care of yourself that's what you're telling me now this attitude is like you try to act like a marre all the time I have no time for myself I'm giving myself totally to Everybody what is it that you're giving your agitations irrit ations your anxiety is passing it on to

Children isn't it if you really really concerned about your children if you truly concerned about your children creating a joyful and loving atmosphere for their growth is most important not providing them shiny boots not providing them better clothes not providing them video games not providing Them something else is important you creating an atmosphere of joy and love around them on a daily basis moment to moment is more important than all the nonsense that you're providing isn't it so isn't it so yes or no so what is your focus about life if you are able to

manage your work and your children everything do it if you're unable to do what you can do everybody can only do that much isn't It you want to do everything in the world you will definitely go insane how much you can do each individual has to decide somebody may be able to get up at 6:00 and do all these things joyfully somebody else is not able to do accordingly they have to adjust their life isn't it now you have not gotten into all this not because that's what you want to do you are trying to

be like somebody else that's your whole problem you want to have what other People have you don't know whether you really need it or not with all this work what you have earned your children your husband your wife or whatever you're no more enjoying it then why do you need all this all these things you created because you thought this is the source of your joy isn't it but right now that has become the source of your anxiety and misery then you better look at the fundamentals of your life once again Isn't it isn't it

so you got educated you found a job you married you produced children all this why because you thought this is going to be the source of your happiness and well-being isn't it so but now that is taking your life if it is so you must look at it one thing is maybe if you're incapable of handling it maybe you have to scale it down if you're capable of enhancing your capabilities you must do That now if you invest let us say even 30 minutes a day into your yoga you will see you will gain immensely

even in terms of time one first thing that will happen is your sleep quota will come down now if you're sleeping for 8 hours a day that means one/ third of your life you slepping it off isn't it 1/3 of your life you're just slipping it Off if your body and your mind is more energized and act active your sleep qu will naturally come down so if you gain 3 4 hours a day just in terms of wakefulness that's a huge thing isn't it apart from that if your body and mind was more organized you

would see what I have found with people is with simple process of yoga within 6 to 8 weeks lot of them their level of performance becomes such what they were doing in 8 hours they're Very easily able to do it in 3 to 4 hours simply because if You observe yourself through the day suppose we take a video of your whole day without you being aware of it you will notice how much unnecessary M and unnecessary words and unnecessary activities are happening in your life you must do it one day please hire a video cameraman

and ask him to shoot you without you knowing about it you will see how many unnecessary things you're doing in a day If your mind became more organized these unnecessary words these unnecessary actions these unnecessary things will disappear once they go away you have lot of time you have 24 hours to live you know now we don't have to make this into 26 hours 24 hours are enough we can do a lot in 24 hours if we are organized and focused human beings we can do plenty in 24 hours time if you're disorganized and Unfocused

you think there is no time most of you are not busy you're just preoccupied aren't you isn't it so isn't it so just too much preoccupation in the mind so whoever the lady please invest this half an hour a day get up at 5:30 okay and you will see suddenly the quality of your life will be very different don't go on with this argument I have no time make time and see it'll Make a huge difference some female spiritual leaders have said that it is better for a woman to seek a female Guru is it

so it's better they say that okay now one thing if you are still a female or a male it means you're not yet spiritual and especially if you're still seeing a guru as a male or a female you have no possibility you are still not able to Disidentify yourself with your body parts it's okay if you're still identifying your Guru also with his body parts or her body parts then you just don't know what it is this is coming from absolute ignorance this is a reaction to thousands of years of being downtrodden socially may be

correct spiritually not relevant if you look at your Guru either as a man or a woman you'll miss the Whole point what do you think of time see from where to where we jump yes definitely otherwise uh how do I tell you what time to come for dinner if we all become Timeless how to invite you for dinner tell me we are all slaves to it we don't have to be slaves it's a device that we used for our convenience see if you don't divide this day into 24 hours would you know when to Come

here for dinner it's a convenience where is the question of enslavement so you may come when you're hungry but there may be no dinner when you come you may not feel hungry till 1:00 in the morning that doesn't mean it's the dinner time here you get by when time see any convenience any convenience that we create for yourself time or money or a car or any technology that we created For our convenience out of our unawareness out of our unawareness we get enslaved to it there is nothing wrong with the device that we created there's

nothing wrong with the car there's nothing wrong with the money there's nothing wrong with the time you got enslave to it out of your unawareness that's the problem isn't it time is not the problem money is not the problem car is not the problem any other technology is not the problem you got Enslaved to it that is the problem enslavement happened because you're unaware so you're unawareness is the problem so how to become aware what is this awareness awareness is on many different levels one can what you are aware of is all that exists for

you this must be understood right now you're sitting here don't turn back and see right now there is a huge dinosaur standing behind you you are not aware of it does it Exist for you no no so it doesn't matter such a huge animal is standing there you are not aware of it so it doesn't exist for you so only what you are aware of exists for you right now your awareness is limited to small aspect of your life whole aspect of spirituality means to become of aware of everything that you are so that before

you go you know life you experience life in its totality to live totally to live and to live totally That's spirituality so that you know life in all Dimensions you don't go just knowing a little part of your life you want to know all of it so if you want to know all of it how if we have to use an analogy let's let's say we turn down the oldage for the lights now let's say just one light is there it just lights up only that much only that much we see if you turn up

the voltage suddenly you are able to see much more because the light Has spread so awareness is just like this right now your energies your body your emotion your mind everything is functioning a certain limited volage you crank up the oldage suddenly you start seeing so many things which are not in your experience till that moment so in a way to put it very simply to put it technically you need to turn up your old AG the old AG the life old AG within you today she was saying she doesn't want to sleep because she

wants To live if you don't want to sleep I don't want to sleep will not take away sleep you turn up your oldage suddenly no sleep you can turn up your old AG simply with your enthusiasm but that will not take you all the way there are other kinds of Technologies to turn up your oldage in a certain way where all the time you're high see within myself right now I'm Absolutely drunk not with alcohol okay I never touched it I'm totally drunk Within Myself am I balanced enough and logical enough to handle any situation

yes so all the time I'm fully drunk on one level on another level I'm perfectly saying if I want to flip any moment I'll flip if you are like this inside you're fully charged outside you're control this is what is needed in your life if You want to experience life in its totality you tried to exercise control over your life and you started putting this control over your very process of life life so life is happening like a trickle life within you should happen like a huge explosion but outside it is fully controlled you will

see initially when you go into your face like this even the outside tends to happen like an explosion for some time but within a limited period of time you will gather Control over it outside is controlled inside is an explosion that's how it should be every moment of your life within you life should be an absolute explosion outside of you it is ly controlled when it's like this you will get to use your physical body your mind your emotion everything that you have to its fullest extent things that you never thought you were capable of

suddenly you start doing simply because your oldage is Full right now the most important thing in the world is human consciousness tremendous technologies have come all these Technologies if they have to become meaningful force in human well-being it is first the human being that we need to work on great things are available in our hands but if we don't have human beings who are in a certain level of perception and Wisdom then all these Technologies can be a big disaster for Humanity at least if you are not empowered with technology maybe we didn't have to

so much bother about human consciousness we could have allowed another 5 100 Years of stupidity but not anymore the way the technology is growing if human beings don't grow accordingly we are going to make a big Disaster out of everything do you see the disaster always lurking on the edge it can just happen any moment so when we are hugely empowered when we are slowly with the aid of Science and Technology We are Becoming like giants if you were just an ant it was okay how you walk you can crawl upon anybody it's all right

once you become a giant you better walk carefully isn't it extremely carefully otherwise every step Will be disaster so in many ways Humanity has become a huge giant hugely empowered it's time that they walk very very cautiously with full awareness otherwise they will step upon themselves and finish it off there are some things that need to happen around us this is not my mission it is not my life's mission that I have to fulfill it if it doesn't Happen I will die unsatisfied there's no such thing for me there are people for whom some things

are needed anyway we are doing some nonsense in our life let's do something useful that's all anyway some nonsense we have to do isn't it you cannot keep quiet I can keep quiet without doing anything you cannot keep quiet anyway you will do something why don't you do something which is Useful why don't you do something which will touch people's lives that's all so reaching out to another human being need not happen because you have taken a wow I'm going to do it keep your Humanity active anyway it will happen how can you not do

it how can you not do it that you hold as a part of yourself so when it comes from that it will happen gently well you take up a Mission somebody will become your enemy you know whatever the mission if you stand up for a mission there will be some other Mission which will stand against you so don't take a a mission just keep your Humanity in full force what has to happen what you can do will anyway happen so you yourself cannot go to the Village you yourself cannot go to the slam and do

all that somebody else is doing it at least do something to make That happen that's [Music] all attention how does attention come into attention is just mental alertness mental alertness and awareness are two different things awareness is purely life what level of intensity your life is functioning that is a level of awareness you are but mental attention you can put it on and put it Off you're Al liveness you can you cannot put it on and put it off it's on what is the level of intensity is all there is but mental attention you can

close it isn't it you can turn it on you can turn it off isn't it so you can pay attention to something you can withdraw your attention from something is it so so that's a different dimension that is the act of the mind that is again not reality it is just a tension of the mind It is the act of the Mind mind can do many things but it's of a different dimension it is psychological it is not existential believe it that more questions that's exactly what we went through just now what's your name I'm

sorry huh kabita we just went through that you didn't pay attention huh okay so right now are you awake first are you Alive yes next are you awake how awake awake enough awake enough to hear what I say awake enough to see where I'm sitting awake enough to know that this many people are around you yes now that you this awake you perceiving all these facts which are around you you know this many people are around you you know I am speaking you know I'm sitting here all these things you're perceiving how through What through

your sense organs not only through your eyes through your ears and certain amount of other senses also working so through your five sense organs you're perceiving right now because you're at a certain level of wakefulness you're perceiving what is around you at least the physical around you yes you don't know what is happening in the person who is sitting next to you isn't it you do not know what's happening in this man's mind you do not Know what's happening in that man's heart you do not know what's happening in his energy you don't know all

these things but at least the physical reality you have perceived your way ful to that point suppose you feel little drowsy then you find you don't know what I'm talking about did it happen suppose you feel little drowsy what's happened your wakefulness has come to a lower grade because your Wakefulness has come to a lower grade do you see I am talking but you are not perceiving yes or no ears are still open isn't it nobody plugged it sound is definitely going and hitting the E drums isn't it so what I speak is any way

going and hitting the eardrums or no it is but still you're not perceiving because your wakefulness has gone one level lower than what it is right now so if it can get lower you can also get it higher isn't it Logically so if your wakefulness move into higher and higher Dimensions if it has to get there you have to crank up your energy if your energy life energy moves into higher levels of intensity your wakefulness moves into higher dimensions of wakefulness as your wakefulness moves into higher levels of Dimensions higher Dimensions your perception becomes clearer

and clearer and the penetration of your perception Deepens once the penetration of your perception deepens it changes the very quality of your experience right now you sit here there's just a man sitting next to you suppose your wakefulness become such everything that's happening within him you know right now now your experience of sitting here is very different isn't it yes or no does it make it clear now if you try to raise your Wakefulness it will not happen if you try to increase your perception it will not not happen if you try to widen your

experience it will not happen the only thing that is in your hands is you can crank up the intensity of your life energies you can only work on raising the volage you cannot work on increasing the light can you even physically can you try to increase the penetration of light but you can work on raising the voltage Isn't it if you raise the voltage all these other things will naturally [Music] happen the needs within a human being have risen because of a certain sense of incompleteness people are forming relationships to experience a certain sense of

completeness within themselves when you have a good relationship with someone dear to you You Feel Complete when you don't have that you feel incomplete why is this so because this life this piece of life is a complete entity by itself why is it feeling incomplete and why is it trying to fulfill Itself by making a partnership with another piece of Life fundamental reason is is that we Have not explored this life in its full depth and dimension though that is the basis there is a complex process of relationships as such there are expectations [Music] and

expectations and expectations and expectations the expectations that most people are creating are such that there is no human Being on the planet who could ever fulfill those expectations in the process of holding a relationship the first moment of meeting the expectations may be common but as every step that we take in life the expectations may become different because these expectations keep changing in people they're not cons consistent and they cannot be one person may be consistent with the same Expectation throughout their life another person's expectations may be changing because his perception and experience of life

is changing Now relationships become great conflict more conflict is happening within the four walls of the homes then is happening anywhere on the planet only thing is bombs are not exploding so you don't hear it they may be giving each other silent Treatment it is happening because people's expectations are changing and they not changing at the same Pace fundamentally why have we sought a relationship because you find yourself that without a relationship if you do not have any kind of relationship in your life then you become depressed so fundamentally you're seeking a relationship because you

want to be happy you want to be joyful or in other words you're Trying to use the other as a source of your happiness if you are happy by your own nature Now relationships will become a means for you to express your happiness not to seek happiness if you're forming relationships to seek happiness and trying to squeeze happiness out of somebody and that person is trying to squeeze happiness out of you now this is going to be a painful Relationship after some time initially it may be okay because something is being fulfilled but if you

have become a Joy by yourself and you're forming relationships because you want to express your happiness nobody's going to complain about you because you are in the process of expressing your joy not seeking Joy from the other Person so if your life becomes an expression of your joy not in Pursuit of Happiness then relationships will be naturally wonderful you can hold a million relationships and still hold them good now this whole circus of trying to fulfill somebody else's expectations does not arise because if you are an expression of Joy anyway they want to be with

you the fear is simply because you are Not living with life you're living in your mind your fear is always about what's going to happen next that means your fear is always about that which does not exist if your fear is about the non-existent your fear is 100% IM imaginary if you're suffering the non-existential we call that Insanity so people may be in just socially accepted levels of insanity but If you're afraid or if you're suffering anything which does not exist it amounts to Insanity isn't it people are always suffering either what happened yesterday or

what may happen tomorrow so your suffering is always about that which does not exist simply because you're not rooted in reality you're always rooted in your mind mind is one part of it is memory another part of is Imagination both of them are in one way Imagination because both of them don't exist right now you're lost in your imagination That's the basis of your fear if you were rooted in reality there would be no fear [Music] why is there poverty and suffering in the world see one thing is poverty the way we describe poverty right

Now is very you know dependent upon certain standards that we have set ourselves who is poor who is rich is decided by certain standards that certain societies have set 10,000 years ago living in a cave was a luxury if you had a good cave for yourself and something to cover yourself it was a great life today we have created so many things for our well-being so anybody who cannot afford to have that we consider That poverty so what's poverty in one Society need not be poverty in another Society so they trying to have a world

view of common sense of poverty saying that uh if you earn anything less than $10 per hour you're poor I think is an improper way of looking at the world I know in South India if a man earns $2 per day not per hour he can live well he can live reasonably okay the Kind of prosperity that we are talking about our standards of prosperity are complete completely unrealistic and ecologically unsustainable so this idea of poverty and prosperity needs to go through a lot of change this is I come from a culture where people have

chosen many times not now many times to be consciously poor by choice this is a culture where Kings have chosen to walk as Beggars so poverty is not necessarily in terms of whether you have a car to drive or not whether you have a big house to live or not that's not so definitely the world is poor because in spite of all this wealth in spite of all this comfort and conveniences that science has heaped upon us still people are living joyless still people are living not knowing how to live live we know how to

go to the Mars but we still don't know how to live on this planet that's Definitely poverty said Guru what can I do for my Guru how can I support you I felt that I want to do something I don't know what the best thing you can do is don't poison yourself with all those things that's the best thing you can do for your Guru I want all of you to remember this the best thing that you can ever do for your Guru if at all if you feel like you want to do is that

you drop your nonsense and Grow what's the best thing a garden can do for a gardener to grow and Bloom isn't it no no we want to do this to you we want to do that to you that's not the intention that's not the goal the best thing you can do for anybody is you must do what they want isn't it not what you want always this is the problem the best thing you can do for anybody is you must do what they Want all this activity I'm a very people have who have known me

early I was an extremely tacit person I had never said anything there were days when I never I was not on silence nor was I spiritual okay I was just there because most of the time whether you went to school or college or wherever you went whether the students spoke or the teachers spoke everybody Spoke such nonsense most of the time I chose to remain silent because I was terrified of their conversations they open their mouth if they did not kill you with their bad breath they kill you with horrible conversation very few people on

this planet can simply joyfully say something it doesn't matter you don't have to say some great Thing simply pouring out of their heart saying something or simply able to be with another person very few people all others are desperately trying to be smart or they're repeating something they heard somewhere something they read somewhere some nonsense endlessly so I would never speak very rarely I would speak speak in some places I was exuberantly boisterous but in most of the other places I Was cuz I understood if I don't speak they won't speak that saves me so

now all this endless talking this activity nonstop doesn't matter where I am constantly I'm in groups of people not even with individual people constantly with huge groups of people either in public sitting behind a microphone or wherever I walk there are minimum 10 people around me So this is not my personal choice this is a terrible need that there is in the world that if you do not communicate the way people know if you do not behave and act the way people know right now if you don't walk two steps with them you can never

walk them in a different direction so there is nothing you can do the best thing you can do is you grow and Blossom drop your Nonsense your past non nonsense you leave it to me present nonsense you handle if you do that that's the best thing now suppose you died even if I died I will not stop the spiritual part of my activity so I'm not so concerned about that yes we're concerned the foundation could be hurt activity could be hurt but not the spiritual part the work the concern Is that people will be here

and if they don't grow I planted people in my garden and they never Bloss that I'm terrified of so those of you who are very patient who want to come here for 10 lifetimes and do it I'm okay with them but I think we must build an outer asham for them even here there is in a way but uh we wouldn't like that to be here because of Various reasons we would like everybody who comes here to be absolutely there in the qu core of what's happening I don't want to create a core and a

periphery here here there's only one burning spot that's everywhere so if you you know you seen the popcorn you never seen popcorn it's just a damn corn how it Flowered the right amount of heat but some get burnt some won't pop that's because uh they don't all of them were given the same heat but some don't receive it properly they do funny things and instead of popping they get charred in so flowering have you seen a popcorn flower H that's one flower you can see it happening right the other flowers take Too much time so

right there it opens up in front of you so uh have you seen this happening to people when they come to Inner Engineering basp in 3 days time people are like that but uh we don't want them to stop there because we are aan people you know what that means we desire for everything we don't Desire for this much growth or that much growth we are not willing to settle for anything less than the whole if you are willing to settle for peace we could settle you very easily if you're willing to settle for love

we would settle you very easily if you're willing to settle for blissfulness we could settle you very easily but we we won't settle for anything we want it All because of that kind of mode it's just on and on and on if you're willing to settle for any one of those things Peace Love satisfaction action happiness we could have settled you up very easily so if you just want to settle for any one of them it's okay it's your choice but uh and you need not be in the core of things you could be anywhere

and still do that you Know so what could I do yes especially if sguru is going to die tomorrow you must Blossom tonight isn't it so I want you to look at life like this either you may die or I may die tomorrow morning so something should happen tonight isn't it so so don't think in terms of weeks and months and years and decades kids or lifetimes think in terms of Moments cuz life is in moments for spiritual life whether one has to search for auru or it happens where will you search and how will

you know who is sguru and who is not sguru you have no way to church isn't it so how do I seek something you just seek you simply seek I want to know the more you become I do not know the deeper you're seeking is isn't it seeking does not mean seeking Something seeking means seeking that which you do not know if you have to seek you should not make any assumptions isn't it so you already made an assumption God is sitting up in the heaven I'm seeking him this is not seeking this is just

hallucination seeking means simply seeking seeking is Possible only when a deep I do not know has happened within you if a vacuum of I do not know happens within you sguru will happen to you you Don't have to search cuz you don't know how to search if you search with your intellect naturally you will search for that kind of person with whom you are most comfortable isn't it see if you seek a friend what kind of friend do you seek do you seek a friend who punctures your ego every day you seek a friend who

nourishes your ego every day isn't it yes or No if somebody punctures your ego he becomes your enemy isn't it so even if you seek a guru you will only seek with this context and that kind of Guru who comforts you is no good to you there's nothing spiritual about giving soles to people it is just a psychological Comfort which your family can offer which your dog can offer dog is good solice for you isn't it yes or no you have pets at Home they can be a great source of Solace for you isn't it

so you need don't need a a God for Solace you seek the Beyond not for Solace but for Liberation to become free from everything that you are right now so if you are seeking a guru for Solace there are many if you seeking a guru for Liberation then if you sit with him you feel threatened you want to run away from him but at the same time you don't want to Live him leave him for a moment if you constant ly feel threatened by him at the same time you want to be with him that

means he's a good Guru for you if you're very comfortable with him he is a no good Guru for you you must be constantly uncomfortable with him at the same time you long to be with him that is a good prescription for you s Guru when uh I come for volunteering at IE program my energy Levels are very High even the same dishes when I wash at home I don't feel the same energy level how to make my home my work everything as an asham and you should give it all away to me really anyway

I'm not going to come and eat in your house every day but in your mind you must give it away because here you're doing it as an offering it's a beautiful thing that you're doing it as a chore it's an ugly Thing both the same work is just you isn't it same dishes same work just you who can make it either miserable or joyful so even what you do at home and office why don't you do it as an offering what's stopping you I won't ask for you I won't come and steal your salary I

won't come and eat your food why don't you just do it as an offering it'll work beautifully it'll work beautifully not Only because your mindset has changed above all you become receptive for Grace that's the most significant thing that is the most important thing in your life to become available to Grace if that one thing is not there this is an uphill task uphill task quite a an impossible task I wouldn't say impossible but torturous if you go with Grace you Glide effortlessly joyfully if you try to Walk then it is a very torturous journey

I don't see what's the point in anybody making the process of Life unpleasant for themselves we do not know what big things will become in your life whether you're going to climb Mount Everest or not whether you are going to run 100 m in 8 no we should talk 7 seconds or not whether you're going to beat the bolt or not whether whether you're going to become a Billionaire or not we do not know but this one thing you deserve that the process of life was a pleasant experience for you this one thing must happen

to you isn't it this one thing every human being deserves isn't it so other things according to their capabilities all the other things according to their capabilities this one thing every human being deserves that you make the experience of life into a pleasant process this much must happen Isn't it other things we don't know they may happen they may not happen because they're subject to various realities not just you those situations are not just you isn't it those situations are so many things this one thing you can do it if this one thing happens Life

is Beautiful according to our capabilities each one will do whatever we can do that's all there is to life isn't it but this one thing should happen so you must be a volunteer always What a being a volunteer means is to volunteer means you're doing your life willingly that's all it means right now if you say I'm a volunteer what it means is I am doing whatever I am doing willingly yes so this is all the choice you have you can either do your life willingly or unwillingly if you do willingly it becomes a la

Affair if you Do it unwillingly it becomes a rape if you do it willingly it becomes your Heaven if you do it unwillingly it'll become your hell yes that's all the difference isn't it anything that you're doing in your life if you're doing it willingly it's a beautiful thing if it's happening to you unwillingly it's a horrible thing isn't it so so being a volunteer does not mean washing dishes does not mean cutting Vegetables does not mean this or that learning to become willing in all kinds of situations that you do every moment of your

life willingly not unwillingly because the moment unwillingness comes even if the most beautiful thing is happening to you it feels like you're being buggered by life yes or no yes unwilling you unwilling but we'll push you into heaven you will Suffer how do you know you're not already in heaven is there any proof is there any proof in your hands that this is not heaven then because you're unwilling even the heaven is ugly if you're willing it's very beautiful and only if you are willing you become available to Grace otherwise you have to plot every

Step which is not [Music] easy so [Music] technology because the technology is subjective now the technologies that you're handling are objective Technologies now I'm talking about about a subjective technology it's about you here you are the software that you're trying to handle fundamentally if you look at yourself right now you are Operating according to the software that you have become please see what kind of family you were born in what kind of parents what kind of school what kind of friends what kind of atmosphere what kind of religion what kind of society that's the kind

of person you are right now isn't it so software was written into you hazly by anybody and everybody that you came in touch with not by trained professionals just about anybody who Came they put in something wherever you went somebody stuffed something into your head you had no choice from where to receive where not to receive if you say I don't like this man I don't want to receive anything from him you will receive much more from him than anybody else that's how this one is so right now the very way you think feel understand

and act in your life is just the way your software is isn't it Yes the very way you move your body is the way your software is I want you to understand this it is so deeply conditioned if you are somebody you know very well somebody who whom you're very familiar with is walking one mile away you can't recognize anything about that person but just the way he moves you know it is this person isn't it because the very way his body moves only moves whichever way his software is [Music] Written but this software was

written [Music] unconsciously now if we want some freedom to happen if we want some transformation to happen we have to create a little space between you and yourself software you're too identified with it you're just lost in it that's all you become now you have to create a little distance you have heard of a word called Buddha if I say Buddha probably you Always think of GA the budha ga is not the only budha that's not his name he became a Buddha there have been thousands of Buddhas and they still are what Buddha means is

BU means buddhi or the intellect da means d one who is above one who is above his intellect is a Buddha once you're above the intellectual process suffering is finished in your Life because all suffering is manufactured there in your logical mind when you are into your intellect when you are stuck in your intellect you are a Non-Stop suffering human being wherever you put you have a way of creating some kind of suffering your fears your anxieties your tensions your stress just see people are capable of suffering just about anything yes isn't it so people

are capable of suffering just about anything In the world please see if you're not educated you will suffer that if you get educated you suffer that if you don't find a job you'll suffer that if you find a job you suffer that if you're not married you'll suffer that if you get married you suffer that if you don't have children you suffer that if you have children you suffer that isn't it people are capable of suffering just about anything this is the nature of the Intellect once you are into the intellect this is how life

is if you are below the intellect you won't suffer so [Music] much animals don't suffer as much as you suffer physical things if they taken care of they're quite okay they don't have the kind of suffering that human beings know isn't it so if you below the intellect you don't suffer so much like you asked that Question if you're below the if you're above the intellect you a Buddha if you're below the intellect maybe we can call you [Music] buddu if you're in the intellect non-stop suffering so to avoid suffering people are inventing many ways

to go below the intellect excessive [Music] eating alcohol indul you know excessive Indulgence in physical Pleasures these are all the ways you trying to avoid the torment of the intellect for some time you get drunk and you feel good for a few hours but then life will catch up with you with more intensity it won't let you go now this being which was below the intellect somehow evolved into the intellect the only way out for this is to evolve beyond the intellect so the fundamentals of Yoga the technology is how to go beyond this so

how to do it now subjective Technologies cannot be exploded in uncommitted atmospheres you need a very committed focused atmosphere otherwise it will not be in your grasp it's not a teaching it's a method to implement a method you need to be in a certain way in a certain level of commitment in a certain level of receptivity otherwise it doesn't work because see now if you go into your Chemistry laboratory you take this chemical this chemical if you put it into it something happens but if you're not willing to put it into it if you sit

here and think and think and think what will what will this do what will that do you you will come to all kinds of wrong conclusions till you put it there you won't know maybe it'll explode in your face but till you put it there you will not know what it is about but Now you are the chemical you are the chemist and you are the experimental process everything is you now you need a different kind of laboratory otherwise it doesn't work if it was objective we could have just written a book and given it

to you but because it's subjective you have to be taken step by step because it's a completely different dimension of perception and experience Al together but is it possible for me it is possible For every human being internally all of us are equally capable we are not capable in different ways all of us are capable of Joy isn't it yes if you have been joyful for one moment that means you're capable of Joy isn't it it is just that you're unable to stay there that's a whole thing there is no human being on the planet

who's never been joyful every human being has been joyful at some point that means he's capable of Joy it is just that he's unable to stay there so he needs a technology as to how to maintain the atmosphere within himself it's [Music] possible to Pro progress in one's path simply means that you have an expanded sense of ignorance once it happened a man was trying to carry a grandfather clock from a truck to his house on his Back a huge one a drunk came by and said hey mister you just take my advice get yourself

a wrist watch if all you're looking for is dividing the day into 24 hours all you need is a wristwatch but uh if that doesn't hold much meaning to you if that process of dividing life into proper Compartments and living doesn't mean much to you anymore you want to know the timelessness of Life the boundless nature of what this is then you need to be little bit set on fire simply very nice logic or pretty emotions won't do it they're nice they organize your Life they make your life clean and acceptable but uh it doesn't

magnify the possibility of moving from a limited state of ignorance to an unlimited state of ignorance today modern scientists are coming to this point all this years they believed Someday we will know what is the nature of the existence today a lot of top level physics are coming to this point they where they're beginning to talk in terms of we will never know we will just go on expanding the borders of our ignorance but we will never know this is what mysticism meant this is what a Mystic means an utterly utterly ignorant person everybody else

is little bit Ignorant little bit knowledgeable they know some things they don't know some things someone who doesn't know anything anything at all who doesn't who is not burdened by knowledge because knowledge is in accumulation someone who is simply not burdened by any kind of accumulation he's a Mystic because he's he's chosen to be utterly absolutely ignorant not in parts So better to move from moving from a restat to a grandfather clock is not a comfortable thing not at all comfortable if you're carrying a grandfather clock on your back it may have great value but

you can't even look at the time you have to ask somebody please look at the time and tell me what's the time aren't you slowly becoming like this these Days how am I I I hear a lot of people coming up to me and ask me sguru how am I it's all right sensible people ask how are you those who are becoming slowly moving towards larger dimensions of ignorance are beginning to ask thatu have a m sadguru what is the difference between devotion and addiction in devotion also one is in a State where he cannot

live without his object of devotion so what is the difference addiction is usually to substances devotion is towards something that you hold you can only be devoted toward something that you hold way above yourself devotion cannot be practiced it cannot be cultivated or cultured when you are overwhelmed by something or somebody that you see something or somebody way above Yourself far beyond yourself naturally devotion comes it's very natural addiction comes because you taste something and you like the taste of it or the experience of it you want to do it little more and little more

and little more after some time you're trapped in it but a devotee looks more like an addict than an addict an addict can hide his addiction a Devotee cannot hide his devotion that's his problem even a drug addict if he has little bit of control over himself he can make himself look very normal and deceive the whole world but a devote is not capable of that he just bursts forth anywhere he cannot hide it this question of devotion and Addiction coming Together they are not two opposites in any way but they have come together because

both of them are sought or both of them to some extent create some very pleasant or ecstatic experience within the person who is involved in it people get addicted to something because the experience is strong otherwise who would get did you get will you get addicted to the ne balls you got to do it Consciously every day you have to think should I do it you have to decide okay let me do it one more day you will never get addicted to the nimball it's safe if you do not know the benefits of the name

ball at least you know it's safe it doesn't entangle you so someone is getting addicted to something because it is creating some pleasant experience for them people get Addicted to Tobacco people get addicted to coffee people get addicted to alcohol various kinds of of drugs because it's creating some pleasant experience for them if it caused pain if it put them off they wouldn't get addicted to it so devotion and addict addiction are only connected on the level of experience nowhere else they're not at all we should not even look at them together but in terms

of experience yes They have a common ground both of them create an extremely pleasant experience what devotion means is your emotions have become sweet very sweet a devot may look like a madman to somebody else a devotee's ways the ways of a devote may look utterly silly illogical and stupid for a thinking person for an intellect ual person the ways of the Devote look utterly foolish but you tell me you have this choice in your life in 24 hours of time if you can spend the 24 hours in utter pleasantness is that intelligence or going

through all kinds of turmoil in your mind which has nothing to to do with the reality is that intelligence a devote is very intelligent there is a deep life sense Involved in it there's a very deep life sense a profound sense of Life involved in it he is understood that ultimately the most important thing is if you make this experience of Life extremely Pleasant 24 hours of the day all the time through your life if you make the experience of you being here totally Pleasant then nothing will entangle you everything will release you he has

understood That it's a very deep sense of intelligence it may not be logical it may look silly for an intellectual person but there is a very deep sense of intelligence involved and obviously this is a this is a historical fact more more devotees have attained to the ultimate than any other way devotion has always been the quickest and most successful way but only problem is they may look like nuts to the rest of the Society if you don't mind looking like a nut or if you realized you're one whichever way then there is no problem

being a devote devotees are fools who are not even thinking about their well-being but they don't have to think about it because they found their well-being only those who have not found it have to constantly think about well-being isn't it a devote is well if he has to die Tomorrow he's still well that's how he is so he's found his a well-being so he doesn't think about it he doesn't feel the need to think about his well-being because he's well really well within himself so it's a very very profound sense of life if this life

sense is dissected and analyzed it doesn't make sense but in your experience it makes sense so devotion also causes Ecstasy today simple lumps of chemicals are also labeled ecstasy you know tablets are called ecstasy if there was a tablet if you popped it for the rest of your life you are going to be ecstatic I'm not against it I'm okay with it what's the problem I'm I'm perfectly fine with a drug if there was a drug that you can take it from the rest of your life you're ecstatic what is the problem Let's take it

but the problem is it just gets you on a high for some time and then dumps you in such a bad way and in the process of doing it it just ruins you completely that's the problem if there were no side effects if you pop one pill and or even one pill a day like vitamin if you prop something an LSD or an ecstasy or whatever the name names they Have for it and for the whole day you're ecstatic and there's no damage to the body you will live well and your intelligence still functions that's

important if your intelligence still functions and it expands you and makes you enhanced in every way I don't see what's wrong with a drug but that's not what the drug does it's just that with the drug with the addiction both the physicality and the Mentality both the body and the mind shrinks the physical capabilities will shrink and the mental capabilities will shrink so as a human being you're not enhanced you're destroyed but devotion makes you hugely enhanced things that you never thought you could do now you can do because there is no limitation on you

a devotee is also insane with Ecstasy but he will never jump off a Mountain or he will never jump off a highrise building you know this happened to lots of people in United States during the 60s people jumped off high-rise buildings because they were an LSD and they thought they're free and they could fly devote also feels like that but he will never jump off because his mind and body is in full function because he in such a state of pleasantness within Himself so addiction shrinks you devotion enhances you both of them could be pleasant

experiences addiction can give you moments of pleasantness devotion gives you a constant sense of pleasantness but the most important thing it enhances you expands you you makes you all inclusive addiction pushes you to your corner makes you totally exclusive totally exclusive to a point Where after a period of addiction most people become neurotic are broken with anxieties or depression because the mind is broken the body is broken so one enhances you another destroys you that's the big difference [Music] they say ignorance is bliss do you believe in it and why ignorance is bless till life

bites your head off till then it is Bliss do one thing you climb the tallest building in Bombay just be ignorant of the gravitational forces just jump you will see It'll be so Blissful till you hit the ground till then it's really Blissful actually have you ever done any skydiving you must do you go 25 20,000 ft up in the air and just jump off it's Just fantastic but it is just that the Earth is rushing at you if that one little ball is not there it's just fantastic you know so ignorance is bliss till

you get smashed that small period it's wonderful what's there to believe or disbelieve in it if you're ignorant and you try to do things will life get you or No will life get you or no then why are you asking me such questions don't you have enough experience to know if you're ignorant about something and enter that Spar of life is going to get you yes or no first of all stop trying to live by slogans why are you trying to live by slogans you must live out of your awareness and intelligence not out of

a slogan isn't It if you go by slogans slogans are for crowds who have no intelligence just to make them believe something and do a specific act but not for life you cannot handle life with the slogan isn't it it is just like you don't want to apply yourself to your life you want to just pass life without involvement why are you seeking a slogan Or a formula or advice or a philosophy in your life simply because you are unwilling to apply yourself to every little thing in your life please tell me is this shall

I do it this way or that way there is no this way or that way you have to look at every situation carefully every moment of your life carefully if you want to live well isn't it isn't it so do you know electricity will kill you if you're ignorant of It if you stick your finger into that one will it make you Blissful yes huh then why do you ask such a question obviously not you know everybody knows but they can't give up their slogans cuz somewhere there is a hope that I can live here

without without applying myself no without involvement there is no Life without involvement there cannot be life and it's good people who do not know involvement will not know life because if you think this life is not worth involving into you should not be alive actually isn't it so yes such a phenomenal life if you are seeing how to avoid involvement actually you should not be alive it's a disgrace to your creator that you're unwilling to involve [Music] yourself conflict is happening everywhere in the planet in so many forms between two countries it is happening between

two communities it's happening within the family it is happening with in you is happening yes but it is only because there is conflict within you there is a possibility of conflict outside of you isn't It because there is violence within you violence is possible in the world if there was no violence at all in you would violence be possible in the world no so we just have to look at the conflict within if we just settle this outside conflict will slowly settle it'll take some time because we have put a certain momentum to it but

it has to settle isn't it if all of us become truly peaceful human beings no conflict within Us would Bombay be peaceful do we have to separately start a campaign for peaceful bombing no if people were peaceful society would be peaceful isn't it so what is the conflict the conflict is just this you got identified with things that you are not you identified with many things that you are not isn't it right now let's say this vessel belongs to you you don't just hold it as a vessel Let us say this vessel came to you

from your great great great grand father now this is not just a vessel yes you identified with it if I just grab this vessel and go away you're willing to die to get this vessel isn't it so because you're so identified with this vessel now if I just break this vessel your heart will break just see with how many things you have done this from the the clothes that you wear To the people who live with you the house that you live in the things that you own and possess everything is become you isn't it

yes so what is you is not here what is you is spread all over the place when you are spread all over the place naturally wherever you move it get entangled it gets entangled somewhere yes when what is you is so spread out whichever way you go every doorway you will get Stuck that's what is happening that's why there's constant friction and conflict because you identified with so many things that you are not when I say you identified with things that you are not it also includes your mind it also includes your body your thoughts

are not yours please see your emotions are not yours please see these are all things that you pick from outside and identified yourself with isn't it so yes your body is not Yours it is something that you picked up from outside if you sit here and you're not identified with anything you are simply yourself you are not identifying yourself with anything or you are not getting into your make belief situation of being something that you are not a man went to the [Music] psychiatrist he went and said Doctor all the time I think I'm wet

pained I'm afraid to touch anybody I don't want anybody to touch me because I think I'm wet paint then the doctor said that's no problem I will treat you 6 months the doctor gave him very EXP expensive treatment then slowly the patient felt better and then he one day came and said Doctor I'm just feeling fine I don't feel like that anymore thank you very Much he paid his bill and he wanted to shake his hands the doctor said I don't want to get wet paint on my hands once you're identified with things that that

you're not you are hallucinatory in nature isn't it and all the conflict is coming simply because you're not in touch with reality your hallucinatory your thoughts your emotions are all coming from certain identifications isn't it so if you can Sit here this chamber will will do to you if you sit here you will see your body is here your mind seems to be somewhere out there and you are somewhere else that means me you gotten disidentified with everything you're just there once you're not identified with the body once you're not identified with the mind can

there be conflict if you known any kind of Suffering in your life the suffering has either entered you through your body or through your mind isn't it so do you know any other kind of suffering once there is a distance between you and your body once there's a distance between you and your mind this is the end of suffering this being cannot suffer anymore question of conflict doesn't arise there are only two kinds of people in the world Mystics and Mistakes if if your perception has made a mistake you're a mistake if your perception has

gone beyond the mistakes and beginning to see life just the way it is then you are a Mystic to put it very simply am I being too cruel to you am I being too cruel to you if you want me to tell pretty things I can say I'm capable I Can Say ni nice things about people But uh if you want to know the sooner you knock out all the nonsense in you the better it is if you're if you're genuine wanting to know then you must knock out all the nonsense today not tomorrow if

your perception is changing at different time times of your life obviously what you did yesterday or how you saw life yesterday was a mistake what you was doing now is the right Thing but suppose this changes tomorrow this was a mistake tomorrow is the right thing isn't this happening all the time so there's a whole big mistake about the way we are perceiving life when it gets corrected people think you are a mistake because you're beginning to perceive life in such a way that you can never fit it into logic it's Way Beyond logic logic

is just a small part of your Life you can never fit life into it you can fit logic into your life but never life into logic when your experience of life has transcended the limitations of the sense perception then you would be known as a Mystic because you can make things happen in a way that others cannot understand so they call you a Mystic which means they admitting they are a mistake nothing wrong in being a Mistake but not realizing the mistake is the biggest mistake because when we were born our sense organs naturally opened

up because that is needed for survival I want you to to know this when you were in your mother's um though you had eyes you could not see though you had ears you could not hear otherwise you would know how it is inside only after you were born at the Moment of birth your sense organs got opened up because that's necessary for your survival outside that was not necessary for your survival in the um only to survive in the world the sense organs are a must so they open up but anything that is beyond survival

if it has to open up it takes a little bit of striving for example suppose let's say when you were born as an infant you were left in a forest and you never came in touch With human societies if something edible arrived in front of you you would take this and stuff it into your ears is that so you would know where to put this isn't it but would you know how to read how to write how to speak a language would you know no that took some striving today language is just flowing out of

you like This but I want you to go back when you were 2 3 years of age they asked you to write the damn y or a oh what a complicated nonsense this was you wrote it a thousand times to get it isn't it so yes or no just the alphabet a how many times did you write it before you got it right hundreds of times isn't it because of that striving today it flows like that so anything That is beyond survival doesn't open up for you unless you strive all the religions all the spirit

ual Traditions that you see on the planet are just this striving unfortunately over a period of time transmitting it from generation to Generation generation to generation things get twisted out and end up being just heap of rituals and belief systems otherwise every one of them started off as human striving to know human striving To experience human striving to create well-being for himself somewhere it gets twisted out everybody who is a mistake is a potential mistake if you are not a mistake then you are a lost case you are a fanatic you think you're absolutely right

on everything you become fanatical if you know that you're a Mistake then you are a potential Mystic mean it is the path of the [Music] play Krishna is supposed to be blue boded maybe he was dark skinned but people who are aware saw the bless of his [Music] energy once a person raises Beyond certain limitations of his Consciousness every thought of His becomes the will of God itself [Music] [Applause] sometimes is a lover sometimes as God [Music] himself he sticks his life out just to nurse six wounds in somebody's back now he's willing to take

100,000 lives with a smile on his face so Krishna did not choose Arjuna at last he found one guy willing to sit through the whole 18 Chapters TR far and wide but no matter where I land I still for my [Music] blue when it comes from Krishna it is genuine and true if somebody else just parats these words it is utter falsehood through this whole drama of all the People Krishna is going through the maximum amount of drama but untouched because uh he said Y that means first establishing yoga and then act [Music] not a

miracle maker he's a miracle himself don't miss the miracle and you appreciating his sense and intelligence and activity don't miss the miracle that's the most significant aspect of him only because he is such a miracle that type of life he lives so if Enlightenment happens how do We know it has happened suppose we are hallucinating to be enlightened if such thing happens it will be clearer than daylight it's not something that you can miss it is not that kind of an event that you could miss it you will not miss it but when I say

this there is a problem attached to this because these days it is going on in many places for a certain fee within a weekend's time you can get Enlightened you'll be declared enlightened by somebody really it's happening everywhere if you just pay a certain amount of money one weekend you can get enlightened I remember in the 60s in the 1960s in California people set up certain businesses Enlightenment Services the advertisement I remember very well if you go to India it will Take 12 years of [Music] hardship okay $50 30 minutes you can get enlightened they

were just using psychedelic machines you put up certain visuals and certain sounds it'll just blow your mind apart because of the sounds and the visuals when you come out you come in a days you feel like you have really gotten Somewhere this used to be the advertisement $50 30 minutes if you go to India 12 years of hardship here California quick new technology this 196 machines this old technology has now infiltrated into India some people have installed these machines and they're claiming within a weekend they can Enlighten you you cannot hallucinate about it if you

sincer you would know that it is not so but if it's a part of the race that You want to get enlightened before somebody of course you can declare I'm inlightened it is just that these kind of deceptions are not new on the planet they have been happening for a long time but now modern technology has come to Aid them better to give them an an expanded sense of many things much experimentation was done during the' 60s and 70s about these things one is with the Psychedelic Machines another is with psychedelic drugs you take an

LSD and people claim they're enlightened because they had an expanded sense just for a while and then they came back if they overdid it then they lost everything they cracked up in so many ways or even died many many people mentally cracked up because of excessive use of psychedelic drugs but for those few moments they really felt Enlightened or at least they thought so this is not something that you do this is not something that you can do it is just that if you cultivate the system your body mind emotion and energy to its speak

possibility then an absolutely wonderful flower blossoms within you not something that you did you just waited with the right kind of conditions and it happened there's a very beautiful story in the yogi law On a certain day four men were walking in the forest these four men were walking in the forest one is a gan Yogi another is a bti yogi another is a Karma Yogi and the last one is a k Yogi these four people can never stay together they cannot be together because aana Yogi means yoga of Intelligence he's a man of intellect

great intellect he has complete disdain for everybody he thinks everybody is a fool especially these B yogis who doing ram ram or whatever in his mind they look like utter idiots he can't stand them isn't it you think could that man stand B yogis no no he wouldn't stand he just can't tolerate Them B yogis people of devotion they have pity for everybody because when God himself is here you doing all this mental circus and physical circus is just stupid isn't it just hold God's hand and walk into heaven so B yogis have pity for

everybody for all the foolishness that they're doing Karma yogis think all these other people are Just lazy people because if you want something to happen you have to do it because they're lazy and unwilling to to do what they need to do they have invented all these other yogas because in the world if anything has to happen you must do it right action these are yoga of action Karma K yogis have utter disdain for everybody because after all the whole existence is energy unless you transform The energy how will anything change where is a possibility

so these four people can never be together but today they were walking together suddenly a thunderstorm broke loose a rainstorm rain started lashing from every side they started running looking for shelter the Bak Yogi said there is an ancient temple in this direction let's go there for shelter He always knows the geography of temples he won't miss a single Temple so they all trusted him and ran in the direction then they found an ancient Temple where the walls had collapsed long ago just a few columns and a roof was there and in the center there

was a DA God's image they ran into this place not because they were seeking God not in any kind of love for God just To escape the rain they ran in and then they stood there for a while then they found the rain started lash lashing from every direction wherever they stood or sat the rain was getting at them so the only place where they could sit was around the daty so all four of them just hugged the daty and sat not because they have fallen in love with God simply to escape the rain suddenly

God Appeared in all their four Minds the same question why now we did so much yoga we did so much Puja worship and so many things you didn't come then now when we're just Escaping The Rain why now and God said at last you four idiots got together without these four things getting together within you your head your heart your hands and your energy unless it all falls into Place unless all of it reaches its peak it will not happen and if it happens is there any chance that I may not notice it there is

no such thing even if you're blind you know the sun has come up isn't it yes yes even if you're blind you still know the sun has come up because nobody can miss it it is not a small event that anybody can miss you may not know whether you're born or not born but if you get enlightened you will know it's much bigger than [Applause] that birth will happen many times this will happen only once all the cultures in the world they have a common thing that they R human life taking away your own life

or somebody else's life is not considered proper but if if one is really suffering one has got a bad deal in this life then why can't just one you know start a new game end this one And restart the game is there anything wrong with that so if I have a bad deal don't I have the right to shut it up and come back again if you have a bad deal with your job you could just quit if you have a bad deal with your marriage you could just divorce if you have a bad deal

with the society in which you live you can come to is Yoga Cent if you have a bad deal in Isa Yoga Center you can go up the mountain so these are not good enough reasons for you to end the process of Life first of all you didn't create it so you don't talk about ending it unless your identity has a separate being or a separate person has has dis disappeared and you and the source of creation are just the same if you come To that point then you can just throw away your body consciously

then you're allowed to do it not by damaging the body not by hanging from a tree we don't mind burying you under the tree but hanging from a tree is neither good for you nor for the tree we already looked at this whether it's a good deal or a bad deal if you have a larger purpose everything is a stepping Stone everything is a stepping stone for your ultimate well-being if you have set the larger goal every situation that you get into you are getting so identified and caught up with it now it feels like

it's better to end your life anyway this is lot of bull cuz today something is going wrong you want to end your life tomorrow morning something is going right you want to live you want to have your third Baby you want to get married once again if things are going little better tomorrow morning you'll have plans everything looks bleak you think of suicide isn't it so this is just a game that you're playing in your mind it once happened a Salesman decided to go into a new development Housing Development he thought no other salesman Would

have still ventured yet because it's a new development so he wanted to be the first one be the early bird so he went and knocked on the very first house that he saw there a lady came and over open the door without giving her a chance he just slipped into her house took a lot of cang fresh cang from his bag and threw it all over the new carpet and he said see I have a Wonder Vacuum cleaner you watch it I'll clean this carpet without even leaving the slightest of odor if I don't do

it I will eat every piece of this scang myself I will eat it so the lady asked would you like some tomato sauce because we still do not have electricity in the house What you need is a little bit of tomato sauce taste a little good then you suddenly want to live just eating cow dong you feel like dying you stood up and said s Guru if you know what you're uttering such nonsense should not come out of your mouth there is no meaning to S Guru when you are wanting to end your Life because

it's not worthwhile sitting here that's what you're telling me it it's not worthwhile sitting here you are not in Grace you are somewhere about how your job is not working how your family is freaking you how something else is happening that's all you're thinking about just be here suddenly it'll be worthwhile I'll make it worthwhile [Music] there is no anger in the world there is anger in people's minds individual Minds there is no such thing as anger in the world isn't it there is anger in you there is anger in that person there is anger

in this person are you right now Angry thank you right now you are not angry that means there is no anger in this hall right now isn't it but you can get Angry you can get angry right now there is no anger in this Hall but you can get angry so this is one thing that we have to see anger is not there what we call as Life Energy what is life you can make make this into anger you can make this into love you can make this into compassion you can make it into frustration

you can make it into depression you can make it whatever you want the choice is yours if you had retained the Choice if the choice was really with you definitely you would have chosen the most Pleasant thing isn't it whatever is the most Pleasant thing generally people are talking about love joy blissfulness because people understand this as the most Pleasant thing things in their life if you had a choice about what to make yourself off right now in this moment would you choose pleasantness or unpleasantness pleasantness there's no question about that isn't it if I

ask You do you want to live in Pleasant atmospheres or unpleasant atmospheres pleasantness do you want to be pleasant in your mind or unpleasant in your mind pleasantness do you want to be pleasant in your body unpleasantness and your body pleasantness all you're seeking is just this please see you may believe that you're seeking money property God whatever all that you're seeking is just this you want to be pleasant in your body in your mind in your emotion and in Your energies if you this is all you're seeking no I'm seeking God no somebody has

told you if you seek God you will become ecstatic no I want to go to heaven somebody has told you Heaven is a more pleasant place than this one that's why you want to go there or you made a hell out of your life whichever way fundamentally you are seeking pleasantness isn't it now this this same scientist because he Talked about Emerson using the word Brahma this scientist tried to look for a word for the to name the word to name the chemical which is being received by The cannibas receptors in the brain he wanted

to give a unique name and he studied every scripture on the planet to find an appropriate name and the most beautiful thing is no scripture on the planet except from India ever talks about Bliss and Ecstasy everybody talks about salvation everybody talks about your sensing being washed away at the most peace nobody talks about blissfulness and ecstasy so he called this chemical which is produced in the body as Anand theide you know Anand Anand mind so cannibas receptors are waiting to receive Anand mind how much anandamide you produce in the system that is how Blissful

you will be it can't be taken if you take it in the form of an injection you will become An addict but if you generate your own Anand the mind you will be Blissful always so if you Blissful would you be angry no anger life has found expression in the form of anger only because this life is not Blissful isn't it if this was Blissful every moment of its existence question of anger or controlling anger or putting anger down doesn't even arise within you isn't it So what is needed is yes there are situations in

the world which may be causing anger but I'm telling you if you eliminate one situation another situation will pop up see within your own family or within your own situation do you see for every small thing people can get angry need not be a major issue yes not a life and death kind of issue a simple thing in your house can make you angry or somebody else in the family angry isn't It so so it is not necessarily by settling all the problems on the planet that we will eliminate anger first of all if we

teach ways of joyfulness and blissfulness right from childhood we have not focused on this as a Humanity we have not focused on making our children joyful if they're making lot of Joyful sounds in the house usually adults will go and say shut up we have not encouraged joy and Bliss As a part of our life if people were more joyful did you have to talk about controlling anger it wouldn't come isn't it we need religions of joy we need politics of joy we need economics of joy we need to bring that aspect into our life

on all levels if that is not brought into our life in every possible way and methods to keep the system joyful Above All Because without that it'll become a fake joy that you're pretending or you're trying to be joyful Now if you are producing enough Anand the mind in your system you would be joyful isn't it I can show you a million people for whom we have thought how to produce more an the mind in the system that without any reason people are just happy people think oh if they all become happy they will become

useless it is not so please look at your own life and see on a particular day when you are happy are you willing to do more or on a particular day when you're unhappy are You willing to do more when you're happy you're willing to do anything isn't it when you're unhappy you have to drag yourself through life when you're are happy you're Your Love you're generous you're flexible you're sensible everything when you're unhappy you can be real mean and nasty isn't it if you meet any human being when he's joyful he is a wonderful

human being if you meet the same human being when he's unhappy he can be a very nasty human Being this is so with every human being isn't it the question is is there rebirth if it's there what is the basis is for one being to go from one birth to another what is it that carries a person from one to another now if you need to understand this you must have some understanding of the mechanics of who you are I'm talking about the mechanics of how a human being is Built see when you say I'm

a human being the outermost periphery is the physical body in yoga we look at everything as body because it is easier for you to understand that way so we see the body has five Dimensions or five sheets physical body is known as anosha anosha means Anna means the food this is food body next one is called manoosha that means it's the mental body the third one is called prayosha Which means the energy body physical body mental Body Energy body all these three dimensions are physical they are physical existence physical body is very gross mental Body

subtler Energy B is even subtler but all these three are physical it's just like the light B is physical you can see that the electricity behind also is physical isn't it the wire that connects is also physical the electrons that flow through The wire also are physical existence so similarly physical body mental body chonic body all are physical dimensions of life this physical dimension of Life both in all these three dimensions carries the imprints of on the body it is imprinted on the mind it's imprinted and on the energy it's imprinted this karmic imprints are

the karmic structure is what holds it together karma is the cement which holds You to the physical body karma is the bondage at the same time it's only because of karmic stuff you can hold on to the body and be here this is where spirituality seems to be difficult because if you try to take it away it doesn't work if you try to add it doesn't work you need to be just there if you're just there it's a moment now the next two dimensions are called vosa and Anosa vosha is nonphysical but related to the

physical it is like a train sent State an mosa is completely non-physical so VI mosa and Anand mosa means it's the Bliss body there is a bliss body inside which is 100% non-physical it has no form of its own only if the energy body the mental body and the physical body are in shape it Can hold the Bliss body in shape if these things are taken away the Bliss body will just become a part of the cosmos so whatever you referring to as Atma or the soul is a fiction actually in the sense people are

describing a certain limitation of the non-physical as a soul but the body for the soul is still your karma if the karmic structure is Completely dismantled there is no soul everything merges into everything else what is referred to as Mah samadi or Maha Nana is just this that you slowly understand where the keys are and dismantle the karmic struct structure so that you become truly no more when somebody dies we say this person is no more that's not true that person is no more the way you know them But they still very much exist now

if you dismantle the karmic structure 100% now you merge with the existence this is what is referred to as MTI Mah samadi in Hindu tradition it is referred as to as MTI in yogic Tradition it is referred to as Maha samadi in the Buddhist way it is called as Maha perana generally in English we are saying Liberation Liberation means becoming free where from the the very process of life and birth and death Liberation Means becoming free from the basic structures of body and mind and for all this the karmic structure is the strings which hold

these things together so when a person dies obviously the physical body is something that you borrowed from the earth this body is just Earth isn't it you understand this physical body is just a piece of Earth which is right now prancing around like this but you have to pay it back atom to atom no interest Though but you have to pay back every atom you won't be allowed to carry a single atom from this planet nobody has Managed IT physical body will fall apart the mental body and the ponic body depending upon the strength of

your karma goes on if the karmic structure is very intense unfinished then it has to finish it if the karma has become weak because it has run its Course then it very easily finds another body if it has to find another body the intensity of the structure should come down it should become passive if it is very intense it cannot find it has to hang so this is what you're referring to as ghosts somebody is dead his karmic structure is still intense because it's not over now he needs much more time to find another body

he still exists and The more intense his karmic structure is the more visible he becomes or more experientially available to people there are innumerable such beings all around you if you don't whether you know it or you don't know it but most of them you won't feel because their karma is dissipated they're just waiting for more dissipation before they find another body but if their karma is very intense this is why they told you in the Tradition if somebody dies unnaturally either by accident or suicide or some other way they will become ghosts it is

not so everybody becomes it is just that they are more experienceable they more available to your experience because they have more intense karmic structures so you people may experience them little more than other beings who die of old age if one completely completes his Allotted karma for that life he will die just like that without disease without accident without any injury when one dies simply like that that person may find another body within hour this is why in this tradition always they said if one completes his life and dies peacefully it's the best way to

die because he need not hang around immediately it goes on now when you walk the spiritual path The ultimate goal for every spiritual Seeker is he wants to break this whole process or otherwise to use an analogy we can say what you call as my soul right now is like a bubble the outer periphery of the bubble is your karmic structure inside there is air suppose you blow the bubble you burst the bubble where is the air where is your air there is no such thing as your air it's become part of everything So what

you call a soul is fixes because there is no such thing as your soul and my my soul and somebody else's Soul right now this unboundedness is contained in the limited karmic structure so it makes you believe as if this is a separate separate entity if you take away the keys which hold the karmic structure then it just collapses so this afterlife next uh birth don't believe all this Nonsense but right now if you sit here and just close your eyes you can clearly see more than this body you are isn't it sguru I I

read uh in one of your question answer sessions that uh you were refering that even uh even meditation is is not the thing like I mean maybe it's a confusion to me like Buddha didn't meditate much though his followers did for I mean it's just a state of ecstasy which people get into uh is it that uh like of course I Meditate and get the feeling of this and ecstasy and it remains throughout the day uh is that enough for a spiritual journey or I'm a bit confused it's enough incentive it's only an incentive ecstasy

is only an incentive if it is if it's painful would you do it no so you feel Blissful and ecstatic that's only an incentive that's not the goal so Buddha was ecstatic no Buddha was never ecstatic did you ever see him Dancing you just sat like this that's different if I ask you to sit like that would you sit no you need some incentive so just creating that Sweetness in the system is an incentive and above all if you are feeling ecstatic within yourself you become a better human being isn't it aren't you when you're

very happy aren't you a wonderful human being only when you're Unhappy you're a nasty human being isn't it isn't it so when you happy you're a wonderful human being everybody is isn't it so keeping you ecstatic a dose of ecstasy in the morning the world is feeling better if everybody in Hyderabad started off in an ecstatic way in the morning hyad would be a wonderful place isn't it they start with tension so it's something else is happening so ecstasy is not the goal of Meditation it is just an incentive to keep you going because otherwise

you wouldn't go so what is meditation the purpose of if we have to look at the purpose if you sit in medit ation slowly it will become like this your body is here your mind is out there what is you is somewhere else once these three things are happening separately once there is a space between you and the Body between you and the mind this is the end of suffering once the fear of suffering is taken away only then you will keep your instinct of self-preservation down otherwise you won't keep it down as long as

the fear of suffering is there you you will not keep the Instinct of self-preservation down the only reason why you are naturally not spiritual is because you have empowered Your Instinct of self-preservation too Much all the time it is trying to make you like a bubble in the world separate bubble not willing to mix with anything so unless you keep your instinct of self-preservation down you will not become spiritual in any way you will not know like life as one happening you will always be an individual trapped have you noticed even in your general life

when you're very happy you keep your guards down isn't it so when you're unhappy fully shielded When you're happy little down isn't it when you're very happy it's all down have you noticed this so this is the reason why you're willing to be happy only among certain people because you don't know how to be just happy and still know where to stop life when it has to be stopped you are willing to be happy only with five people in your life because you think that is the only safe atmosphere where You can be happy because

you have always understood happiness as a certain vulnerability see just say you walk on the street and you smile at anybody they look like this why what's their problem smiling back at you what are they going to lose they think if I smile he may exploit me how will he exploit you if he comes to pick your pocket you can stop him if he smiles even a pick pocket Smiles at you why can't you smile at him what is the Problem just try to dance he just go out and smile people who look like this

they're the surprise somebody is making me vulnerable to life they want to go on the street like rocks they want to go home home and become life doesn't work after some time you become a rock there also if you want to be life you must practice it everywhere isn't it so meditation gives you that space between you and your body between you And your mind whatever suffering human beings have known it has either entered them through the body or through the Mind do you know any other kind of suffering the only two kinds of suffering

isn't it once you have a distance from these two things this is the end of suffering once the fear of suffering is taken away only then you are willing to venture into other dimensions of Life otherwise no matter what I tell You you only looking for safety Gango I saw that you were performing the arti to the ganga at is rishik rishik now what is the significance of doing this at the ganga Ari to ganga that's not my idea I'm not given to rituals at all it is just that when we come back from the

tour and land in you know it's a different experience you drive through Himalayas for 2 3 weeks and come down to Rik there are a huge Group of people waiting and they want to arrange something for us so they arrange one special arti to be done it's our culture I am no struggle with the culture I am very much a part of it but personally I'm not given to any rituals at all absolutely no I told you in my whole life I've never even prayed once not once have I Ed a prayer in any sense

so arti for ganga is just water water is one of the elements out of Which you are made one basic aspect of yoga the most fundamental aspect of yoga is known as bhui that means working towards creating a certain freedom from the five elements becoming free from the five elements because five elements it is the Mischief of the five elements which is creation there are few people more and somebody else con constantly asking why creation why creation I didn't do it it's the Mischief of these five elements Constantly playing tricks with you in so many

ways what you call as body what you call as Planet what you call as everything is just the Mischief of fire elements so there is a whole the fundamental fabric of yoga is called bhas shui that means to become free from fire elements there's a whole lot of sad with every as aspect with earth wind fire water space like this there are Southerners those of you who come from tamilnad would be aware of this to some Extent and one is in Andra Pradesh so you should also be aware five major temples were built for fire

elements in South India are you aware of this for Earth for wind for fire space and water I think the wind is in Andra Pradesh is it yes SRI Shila is Kalah that's for wind so for five elements the B this temples these are not worshipping temples these are temples which were Built for sadh these are yogic temples so these temples are built in a certain way with a certain type of energy which assist that type of sad so yogis traveled through these five temples doing sadana in many cycles to be come free from this

we are thinking of I'm thinking of doing a program like that that where we take a group of people and spend certain time in these five different temples doing variety of sadana for that particular element you In the water temple you do sadana for the water element within you you're in the fire temple you do sad for the fire element within you to get Mastery of and also to en enhance these aspects which could do miracles for one's health and well-being in so many ways it is not for health and well-being fundamentally it's go to

go beyond the limitations of the physical so water is an element now Uh see when we sit for food when we sit in front of food in this country we don't thank any God we just B down to the food itself right now if you don't eat for 5 days if God Appears what will you ask food because this moment Your Existence is food one who sustains you is your God isn't food is sustaining you water is sustaining you air that you breathe is Sustaining you 5 days if you don't eat food will become God

2 days if you don't drink water water will become God 2 minutes if you don't breathe air will become God yes or no yes so we bow down to all the five elements so that they function well for us we not only bow down we also learn mechanisms to make them function well so that your fire your water your Earth Earth and your wind everything functions Well only if these five elements are in cohesive function you have a proper body and a proper life isn't it isn't it so yes so there is a whole process

called bhui but that process what you probably saw on this uh video is uh more like when we come down these people want to honor me they do some extra you know special Puja something so we need to understand this people are coming to conclusions by looking at certain Limitations for for example you know the Psychiatry and other things people like frud they have come to many conclusions about Humanity which are utterly nonsensical it is just that because they studied only sick people they never got to study a Buddha isn't it they studied only mentally

sick people with that they're making conclusions about whole Humanity it's not So now if you can create suffering you can also create something else isn't it do you see who you are whatever you may think you are right now your personality your identifications all these things are fine but fundamentally if you're really alert and listening to me you cannot sit here as a man or a woman you can only sit here as a certain Life Energy isn't it yes if if you're aware I a man I am a woman that Means you're not here totally

do you see your big identities just fall off so easily if you don't pay attention to it they fall off if you get focused on something else they fall off so people are trying to experience this in many ways playing a game jumping off a mountain singing a song dancing doing this falling in love with somebody these are all different ways that people are trying to get in involved in something to such a point That they can forget all the other nonsense that they have created yes but none of these things can you sustain for

24 hours of the day now we are exploring a technology where you don't have to do anything and still be that way because if a certain state of being is related to a certain activity nobody can maintain that activity 24 hours of the day isn't it any kind of activ Whether it is playing or singing or dancing or music or love or meditation you cannot manage it for 24 hours of the day it's not possible not practical isn't it so that means if you can create something for one moment so you're able to create a

certain sense of freedom from suffering for one moment if you create one moment can't you create one more moment H can't you create one more one more and one more and one more that's the way you Create your life fortunately moments don't come at you in bunches they're coming only one at a time isn't it are they coming in bunches only one at a time if you know how to make this moment Blissful you can live blissfully isn't it now suffering please look at it and see people are capable of suffering just about anything is

it So people are suffering their well-being people are suffering their illness people are suffering loneliness people are suffering togetherness is it so people are suffering poverty people are suffering affluence is it so people are suffering discomfort people are suffering Comfort is it so so they are capable of suffering anything so so obviously they are creating suffering Yes if you look at yourself this life energy which you call as myself sometimes has been very Blissful has it been joyful and Blissful at certain times sometimes it's been absolute turmoil sometimes peaceful sometimes Agony sometimes ecstasy has it

gone through all this so it is capable of finding all all these various Expressions so if it is capable of all this if only if you had little Mastery Over your life energies what would you instruct your life energies to be misery or joy joy so people who have no control over their systems they're talking suffering is inevitable no suffer uing is not inevitable suffering is self created if you are aware if you take your body into control if you just have little Mastery over your body at Least 15 to 25 30% of your life

and Destiny will be in your hands please see just your body physical Mastery is it so if you take your mind into control if you have Mastery over your mind at least 40 to 60% of your mind will be 40 to 60% of your life will be in your control if you take your life energies into your control 100% of your destiny will be in your control the very way you live and the Very way you die will be decided by You just working hard doesn't do things in the world this is the biggest problem

right from your childhood your parents T you if you study how much you how should you study study hard if you work how should you work work hard you do everything hard if you do things hard things won't happen it'll become a donkey life life just doing everything hard nobody told You you must study in Joy nobody told you you must work in love they told you you must do it hard they made their lives very difficult for themselves now they were they're ensuring that your life becomes difficult too why do you work hard what

what are you working hard if it's hard give it up if you can do it joyfully you do it otherwise don't do it isn't isn't it so If you're going to make yourself miserable in the process of working what use is your work to yourself or to anybody around you you just sit at the Temple Gates and beg and eat it's better somebody will throw you one rup to you eat out of it at least that you do joyfully sit there happily eat what people throw into your bow if you're going to make it so

hard for yourself I'm sure you're making it very hard for everybody around you isn't It if you're going to spread misery in the world it's better you don't do anything if you're going to spread joy in the world go and do as much as you can now you work hard just because you work hard things need not happen and they do not happen one day it happened can I tell you joke Shankar P's old Ambassador wouldn't start does anybody still own Ambassador no all of you evoled out of It his old Ambassador wouldn't start so

he went home he had a kitten at home he brought the kitten harnessed it to the Ambassador said go let's go let's go people looked at this and said are you crazy can this little kitten pull the Ambassador [Music] car generally it takes God to move this Car what are you doing CH Pai said don't you fool yourself I have a horse whip you believe you believe you can do everything hard and it'll work it'll not work just because you do it hard you must do the right thing only then it works is isn't it

if you do not do the right thing it does not Work people who are successful are successful not because necessarily they work hard they just know what's the right thing to do with their kind of job that's why they're successful another day Shankar and Pai fell into the septic tank I wanted to imagine right up till here in filth please imagine and see he tried to get up desperately he couldn't then after some time he started Screaming fire fire fire neighbors heard the fire screams call the fire brigade the firemen came and looked everywhere no

fire then they found him in the septic tank pulled him out and then they asked why were you screaming fire then Shankar and taught it if I said would you come you must do the right thing other it doesn't work so just working hard will not do You must do the right thing otherwise it doesn't [Music] work I don't think it's good or bad it's just quite stupid to be smoking it's not good or bad it's just stupid because this machine was not made to smoke this is a eco-friendly machine but now you're making it

to your smoking Machine that means it's stupid isn't it a well very efficient machine you make it inefficient machine is it not stupid is it good or bad there's no such thing yeah we know it's bad but uh see that's the whole thing the moment you call it bad you can't leave it see well knows what's why are you giving it titles that it is not it's just stupid that's all if you see something as stupid you can't be doing it every day Somewhere you feel smarter than other people yes no because the taste say

now slowly in the world people have gotten against you just 10 years ago if you blow it into somebody's Fai you felt great they felt stupid now the equation has reversed in last 10 years time isn't it isn't it so so somewhere you thought it's a smart thing to do when you were just 10-year-old kid you wanted to suck in and blow it out into somebody's face it felt like a smart thing to Do you tell me smoking a machine that doesn't smoke to make it smoke right now we working so hard to make our

car smoke less isn't it enormous amount of research into fuels and engines and everything is going on to make our car smoke less isn't it a non-smoking machine if you make it smoke is it stupid or intelligent stupid say it loudly stupid that's all if you see that slowly it'll drop Off now there is a certain chemical factor to this your Chemistry has become dependent on nicotine or caffeine or whatever that way will change you just say you do shamb mahamudra suddenly your whole system is so fired up the need to smoke the need to

drink coffee tea everything just evaporates now if you do it it's only for the pleasure of it one day you feel like drinking coffee you drink it one day you feel like smoking you smoke that's up to you but the Compulsion will be taken away the physiological dependence will be taken away we'll do that with a practice but first you see that it's stupid to do it s Guru when you begin to say yes and then you experience what that yes does to you are you already married yes okay then it save you tell me

and there is this exuberance it's like you're Melting but then around you there is no what about how do you go on with that so the trouble started with the first yes so uh you are being exuberant your family is not cooperating the world around you is not cooperating see I want you to understand this the more lonely you feel the more depressed you Feel the more the need for having company isn't it yes the more joyful you become the more exuberant you become the less and less you need company so when you're are alone

if you feel lonely that means obviously you're in Bad Company If you were with a good person why would you feel lonely you would feel Great exclusive isn't it so your exuberance is not manufactured if it is manufactured yes you need company now people's idea of exuberancy is let's talk let's dance let's listen to music let's do this let's do that not necessarily you can just sit quietly here and be absolutely exuberant if you exuberant by your own nature if you're ex if the life has become Exuberant activity is just a consequence but if your

life is not exuberant you're trying to crank it up with activity then activity is the means so this is a big difference either you dance and arrive at a certain state of exuberance or because you're exuberance and you cannot contain it you dance these are two different things either because you're happy you burst out into Laughter or somebody told you every day in the morning if you laugh and laugh and laugh one day you will become happy these are two different ways tell me which way does life work look at everything around you which way

is it working is it because there are flowers the plant and the root came up like a support to the flower is that so because there's a beautiful flower this plant and its root Grew so that it can have a nice pedestal is that so this is so with this one because this is manufactured because there's a microphone and they didn't want to trouble me then they manufactured a stand a stem to it is that the way this one happened because the exuberance in the stem could not be contained it flowered isn't it this is

the way life should happen if you try to do the other Way then it's going to be very hard life the hardest life in the world is to be constantly putting yourself out into the world like you are joyful when you're not that is the mo hardest thing to do in life is it so when you're not happy to show everybody that you're happy it cost phenomenal amount of life isn't it have you noticed this some people are there when they're happy They're happy when they're not happy they're not happy they just show it to

everybody the whole world knows their thing their act of Life everybody knows some people manage all the time but it takes phenomenal amount of energy to keep it up like that you will grow diseases in your body I'm telling you you will go you will grow lumps and tumors in your body if you try to Constantly put on an act this is happening all over the world actually if you willing to be a subject I can demonstrate it to you within a few hours I can make you grow a tumor really I'm not joking if

you make your mind in a certain way you will do that only saving grace for you is you never do anything steadily you're off and on off and on off and on your joy is off and on your Miser is off and on never on if you become utterly miserable You'll see the consequence of it if you become utterly joyful you'll see the consequence of it if you become utterly angry you'll see the consequence of it you don't see the consequence of anything because you're always off and on off and on off and on people

ask me saidur what kind of uh attitude and emotion I said damn thing any damn thing is okay you want to be angry be angry 24 hours nonstop you will get Realized I'm not joking you you like love be loving 24 hours you'll get realized you want to be depressed depression no that's not an attitude that's a pathological problem it'll make you sink elsewhere anything else just keep it on for 24 hours you will come to a certain realization but nothing is there we were also singing that that's all it takes you keep changing the

direction and the course of Your journey how will you go anywhere you'll end up in circles which way you want to go I'm not deciding to go wherever you want to go but steadily not every day altering it altering it altering it everything every cell every atom in the existence can be a doorway to the Beyond if you go steadily at it the problem is people keep shifting and shifting and shifting and that's the biggest problem with today's world like Never before people think it's a virtue for them to say our attention spans are very

short they think they have progressed they can't listen to anything they can't do anything all discussions about the future media what is you know in India a cinema means 4 and 1 half hours at one time they car down to 3 hours now most of the western films are 90 Minutes now because people want to watch movies you know it will happen in a year's time or so movies will come on your cell phone obviously you can't do this for 1 and 1 half hours so movies stories are being told in 3 to 10 minutes

a 10-minute movie CA is over the same nonsense you could have done it in 10 minutes so why were you wasting our time for 3 hours but that's how it is that's a whole Thing now you can watch every Cinema in the world because it's only 3 minutes real long ones are 4 and 1/2 minutes and they telling the whole story in a 30second advertisement AR they just like that you want to watch a cinema oh so what will they do with the commercials then if 1 minute 2 minute becomes a full length movie what

to do with the Commercial I hope that [Music] disappear when we say leadership most of the time any kind of leadership training is spent on learning to manage situations people money property yes all this is important but U how could you essentially a leader means uh you must be able to manage a few thousand People or in other words you're trying to manage a few thousand Minds that if you're incapable of managing this one this mind how will you manage that mind just by chance when you're managing situations by chance you will be always freaked

anxiety and Leadership has become synonymous today because you're managing People by chance if you cannot manage this one managing that one is definitely by chance so one of the most significant aspects of leadership has been generally ignored or people have acquired this out of their own natural capabilities when you do things accidentally being anxious is very natural and today we have enough medical evidence to prove that If you're not in a very pleasant state of mind then your body and your mind will never function at its optimal level there is substantial medical evidence towards this

only when you're very peaceful and Blissful your body and your mind works at its best and your success in this world is just this to what extent can you harness the capabilities of this physical body and this mind that's all success is it Doesn't matter what is the nature of your activity that's all it is is it true and the most fundamental and the basic requirement to make your body and mind work properly sensibly in the highest possible way is that if you sit here you must be in a state of pleasantness within you if

I ask you the simple question how many of you in this many years of living have had a 24-hour stretch that is one single full day where you did not have a Single moment of irritation agitation anger anxiety stress nothing you just pass through it blissfully how many very few people can say say yes to this not just here in the whole world unfortunately in All These Years of Living not even a single day happen the way you want it not outside within yourself if your body and your mind took instructions from you how would

you keep it Pleasant or unpleasant let me know Your choices how are you keep it for yourself I'm saying I'm not talking about your neighbor you may have other intentions for him but for this one pleasantness isn't it so yes or no so if4 hours did not pass in utter pleasantness obviously your body and your mind are not taking instructions from you any instrument is truly useful to You only if it takes instructions from you isn't it right now I'm using this microphone this public address it's very useful to me because it's amplifying whatever I

say suppose it starts saying its own things I better not be here yes your mind and your body should do what you wanted to do and if it is doing what you wanted to do I'm 100% sure you will keep yourself in utmost Blissfulness can I trust you on this can I trust you on this one thing that if your mind was taking instructions from you you would keep yourself Blissful every moment of your life if that's not happening obviously it's not taking instructions and there is enough scientific evidence to prove today that only when

you're Blissful your mind and body does their Best I would say most human beings are functioning at 15 to 20% of their natural capabilities if only if they could sit here in a sustained levels of pleasantness you would see within a for one week if you simply sit here simply Blissful in one week you would be 100 or 200% more intelligent and sharp than the way you are right now I'll assure you this I can through this to you if you give me that one Week one week you just stay simply Pleasant and wonderful I

think these days you're trying to do that by taking a vacation isn't it yes have you noticed you went out and you had a good time and you were pleasant and you came back you seem to function so much better but if vacation is the only Pleasant time in our life obviously we're not going to be very productive isn't it if we do not know How to wake make our work hours very pleasant we obviously not going to be very pleasant or very productive in our lives so as there is a science and technology to

create external wellbeing there is a whole Science and Technology to create inner wellbeing as we have paid so much attention to learn our way through the world we need to spend a little bit of time to find a way through this one the better you know this mechanism The better you can use it that's for sure isn't it that's true with anything whether you're using a computer or a cell phone or a car the more you know about it the better you can use it isn't it so so definitely that's true with this one too

the more you know about this the better you can use it but how much time have we spent with this when I said this I'm not talking about you going and reading a book on Psychology or on your physiology no what you call as my body and what you call as my mind both these things you acquired over a period of time when you were born you came with such a small body isn't it slowly you accumulate it this what you accumulate can be yours can never be you yes I'm not disputing whether it's yours

Or not for now but what you accumulate can be yours can it be you whatever you accumulate can be yours but can never become you isn't it if you start thinking yourself to be something something other than what you really are there are bad medical terms for this I will not go into that two cows were grazing upon an English Meadow They were English cows and one of the cows said what is your opinion on the mad cow disease the other said said I don't care a hoot as anyway I'm just a helicopter okay if

you think yourself to be something other than what you are there are bad words for that I won't use such things upon you but it's very very very Important especially people who are in positions of power positions of respons responsibility that every action every thought every emotion that you generate has impact on many lives around you when you are in such a position it's extremely extremely important that this one is in a state of utter pleasantness and well-being isn't it so if your life is just your own nonsense it's up to you once you say

I'm A leader in some place everything that you do the way you think the way you feel the way you act has impact on a few thousand lives when that is so it becomes of Paramount importance that you take care of this one in a completely different way not just being physically healthy much much more than that right now unfortunately most people's well-being is so fragile just about anybody can hijack it you went out today and somebody told Told you you are the most wonderful person in the world and you are floating on cloud what

number nine you do only nine in South India we do 11 you know you were floating on whatever number cloud and you came home and people at home told you who you really are it's a very fragile well-being isn't it so just anybody can hijack it just anybody it doesn't take some Earth Shaking event to hijack your wellbeing please see anything can stress you anything can make you anx anxious anything can make you disturbed anything can make you lose your sense of joy and peace now in this state your ability to use your ability to

manifest the capability of Who You Are is not at a very high level Unfortunately today most people when they use the word human they're always Using the word human as a bundle of limitations if someone says oh I'm only human he's not referring to the possibilities of Being Human he's not referring to the immensity of Being Human he's only referring to the limitations of Being Human isn't it yes when someone says I only human he's only talking about his limitations these limitations have become significant mainly because of the kind Of identities that one takes on

and above all because even this one is not happening the way you want him to be see in your life nobody happens 100% the way you want them isn't it so has anybody happened in your life your parents your friends your spouse your children none of them happen 100% the way you want them these days not even your dog he does his own thing has anybody happen 100% the way You want them or are you such a hopeless romantic you're still hoping that somebody will happen 100% the way you want them nobody will happen they'll

happen to some extent if they happen 51% the way you want them you are doing great yes yes or no if people are happening people around you in your life are happening 51% the way you want them to be that means you're doing great your stake is good so nobody happens the way you want Them to be it doesn't matter that's not the real problem the problem is this one is not happening the way you want him to be nobody happens it's okay this one person must happen the way you want him to be isn't

it so yes if this one doesn't happen it's a lost case if this one did happen the way you want him I'm sure you would keep him in the highest level of pleasantness and well-being and that is a sure way of ensuring that who you are finds full Expression in your your life then when you say I'm human you will refer to refer to the immensity of Being Human not to the limitations of Being Human if your mind or your intelligence does not get entangled with any identity including your body including your own thought process

including your own emotion spiritual process is very natural if your intelligence is not entangled L with anything it's very Natural for your intelligence to inquire and open up different dimensions of life you identify yourself with something in search of security in search of safety in in search of self-preservation otherwise it's not doing anything else please see it gives you some sense of false sense of belonging which you will anyway shed someday the moment you're identified with something that you are not your intelligence is freak it will go in Cycles around that whatever you identified with

your intelligence functions only around that please see yes if you identify yourself with your religion your nationality your family it works only around that it's a certain type of prejudice isn't it a prejudiced mind cannot see a Prejudice mind cannot reveal the reality of life that's all it is when I say Prejudice it's on many different levels no no I'm very broad-minded I am Not prejudiced uh well you have a broad Prejudice your mind is functioning with a certain identity once there is an identity it is prejudiced on a certain day a man died and

he went to heaven there God himself opened the Gates of Heaven welcomed him and uh God said see I have few chores to finish and come if you could just mind the gate for me for a few Minutes I'll just come back he felt really great you know substituting for God that's nice substituting for God filling in for God is not a small honer isn't it keeping the gates but it's okay you're doing God's job he was uh waiting for something to happen and to his distress and amazement his wife appeared at the gates he

said what what what are you doing here this is not a local bar or Something how did you follow me she said well I was just driving back from the funeral I crashed the car and here I am then when he entered God had put a test for him when he came to the gates God had asked him see my son you have come here that's fine but you have to spell a word if you have to enter the heaven so he had thought oh my God is the old man a school teacher he's asking

for a Spelling is this is there a damn spelling test even here he said the God said don't you worry it's a simple word what's the word father God said you have to spell the word laugh so uh then he thought uh L L you know he had told many people I love you but he had never written a letter so he thought l l l l o v God Said you passed come in okay somehow I got it now when his wife came she said okay you have come here but unless you spell a

word you can't get in she said oh come on if you can spell the spell the damn word and get in can't I do it tell me what's the damn word he looked at her and said Czechoslovakia mind is a very Prejudice thing it all depends what you're identified with you Know whatever you're identified with your mind rotates around that right now identified with many things that you are not many for example if I say I'm speaking as I'm speaking suddenly if I pick up this glass and say this is my glass you think okay

s Guru has a problem but it's all right everybody says he's wise let's listen After some time I say this is me then you say let's go enough this is too much please see this is what has happened to you for example there are many ways to look at this for example food appears on your plate you say this is my food you eat it and then you say this this is me isn't it so what you call as my body is just a heap of food or no yes it's a food that you've eaten

isn't it what you Accumulate can be yours I will not dispute it for now but it can never be you isn't it so yes whatever you accumulate it can be yours but but it can never become you isn't it did you accumulate your body over a period of time yes or no yes or no did you accumulate your mind over a period of time Yes but both these things right now you call as myself isn't it and it doesn't stop there it just extends into many things your home your car your things your money your

children your husband your wife a million other things your religion your ideas your ideologies everything you are identified with too many things which you not once you're like this your intelligence is red it's a wonky Intelligence it's lost its penetration it simply repeats old nonsense you heard of ten ramak Krishna talama was a jest in Krishna deas uh cot similar things happened also with Akbar and beu but we will stick to the South Indian story it so happened when Krishna deara was young Because of some politic reasons his mother had to leave a few month

old Krishna devaraya with another woman for care and go somewhere for more than 18 months the child was separated from the mother but he was under the care of another woman who also had a child who was a few months older than Krishna devarai so this woman nursed Krishna deara as her own child she breastfed Him and he grew up later on his mother came back took him and then he became a great emperor so this boy who was that woman's son Krishna deara always treated him as a brother as an elder brother because we

drank milk from the same mother so we are brothers that's how he considered this so as as an expression of his gratitude he gave away a few villages to this boy and he said okay you make your Own kingdom this Village Bumpkin got these few things and within a few years he squandered everything and lost everything and again back to square one Krishna deara went on to become a great emperor then one day this man who was over 30 years of age at that time thought my younger brother has become a great emperor and I

am with nothing let me go there and see if I could get something out of this and he Went krishnaa welcomed him as a as you would welcome a elder brother he gave him all the necessary honors all the necessary hospitality and gave him a place in the court he just looked at this Krishna dear had gathered a SN ating ARA of talent in his court he looked at all these all kinds of debates going on concerts going on on a daily basis he was just amazed and above all this talama such a Brilliant assistant

then he lamented with Krishna devaraya you are so successful you have become a great emperor because you have such intelligent people around you if if only I had people like you around me I would also become a great emperor particularly this talama if I had someone like him with me I would also become a great emperor so Krishna deara felt bad about this and uh he asked what shall I do my Brother he said if you can give this talama to me I will go and build a great Empire of my own so immediately Krishna

called tenal and ordered you must go with my elder brother he wants you so talama said oh your elder brother wants me why I can send my elder brother with him that looked like a good idea for krishnaa because he is not eager to lose talama but at the same time his elder brother Is asking he doesn't know what to do oh you really have an elder brother I did not know no I have an elder brother let us send my elder brother with your elder brother so they went and asked this man so T

alama's elder brother is willing to come with you is that okay so this fool thought if T Alama is so intelligent he's elder brother he said fine next day he us to leave and a huge send off has been Organized so in the full assembly of the Court everybody has assembled and talama came with a bull on the Rope he walked into the court Krishna saw this and asked what is this why have you brought this bull into the court no my Lord this is my elder brother said what nonsense what is this you're trying

to do no we drank milk from the same mother once you get identified with something That you are not your intelligence is no good it just becomes repetitive so this repetitive intelligence is what we are referring to as karma when we say when we see somebody going through certain patterns irrespective of the situations in which they exist sun came up wonderfully today morning but somebody's miserable flowers are blossoming weather Is good everything is great but somebody is miserable then we say oh this is his karma why we are saying this is this is his own

doing because he set up patterns which are just repetitive he's not able to enjoy the sunrise he is not able to enjoy the beautiful Breeze he is not able to enjoy the fragrance of the flowers his karma is going on what is going on in his head is what rules him this is his karma karma means Action your action or in other words your experience of life is 100% your doing nobody else is doing [Music] physicality is always a limitation isn't it you can stretch it but there is a limitation for physical body physical means

limit isn't it because the basis of physicality is a limited boundary isn't it so only because there is a limited Boundary you can call this physical if you take away a defined boundary that a physical form has there is no such thing as physicality that which is boundless is not physical isn't it so is there a boundary definitely there is nature has set up substantial limitations upon you but what I am talking about is you are inventing new limitations this is not necessary as it is nature has set up enough limitations upon you you don't

have to invent new Limitations and make yourself much smaller than what You Are a Human Being is dally there's so much talk about God and Heaven and nonsense mainly because human beings have not realized the immensity of what it means to be human that is the main problem if you are experiencing the immensity of what it means to be human you wouldn't be talking so much about other things this is a grand Thing by itself he makes a Ficient your human being over the afternoon isn't is it not a grand thing but he is doing

it unconsciously if you can consciously convert a fish into a human being it is a phenomena isn't it isn't it so it is an impossible phenomena which all of you are performing but unconsciously so how much of you has entered into your Consciousness that's a question if you look at it actually not even 1% of who you are has Entered into your Consciousness right now if a few more percentage points enter suddenly everything that you do looks like superhuman now people around me every day witness things which they can't believe so people keep on saying

sguru are you super human are you a human being I keep reminding them this is not about being being super human this is about realizing being human is [Applause] Super now let me tell you a story a certain man got spiritual thirst in those days when they got a spiritual thirst they went into the forest so he went into the jungle found a nice rock for him to sit and meditate he sat down then he noticed a little away from him there was a fox both its four legs were Saed crippled Fox probably in some

trap Hunter's trap Both its legs gone nature is not kind to any kind of incapability this taking care of incapable people is essentially a human you know it's a human society trait in nature if you're not capable of earning your own food you're done so here there is a fox without both its four legs but looking healthy and wellfed he noticed this and he thought how is this fox managing without legs then he sat down he has to do his Meditation um he started um AR went on for some time as the evening came he

heard the growl of a lion the moment he heard oh arm went away and he ran up a tree and sat down he forgot about the meditation then the lion came with a piece of meat in its mouth came and dropped it in front of the crippled Fox and the fox ate this me and the lion went away this man thought oh this is a Divine Message God is trying to say something to me a crippled Fox being fed by a ferocious lion this is a Miracle of Miracles God is sending a message to me

what's the message what's the message what's the message he completely forgot about his meditation and started thinking what is the message then he arrived at his own message he said oh God is trying to tell me in this miraculous Forest even a crippled Fox is being fed by a ferocious lion when this is so you fool you on the spiritual path what are you thinking about food just sit there it will Anyway come to you so he said down one day second day all third day six seventh day he's groaning for life not able to

move totally weakened he was groaning death Thors a yogi was passing this way he heard these noises he came up to him and asked what happened to you why are you like this he said oh great Yogi please tell me I got a Divine message I went by it and I became like this Yogi asked what happened he said here look at that fox look at him he is wellfed every day this lion comes with a piece of meat and it feeds him don't you think this is a Divine message please tell me is this

a Divine Message the yogi said for sure this is a Divine message message but why did you choose to imitate a crippled Fox rather than a generous [Applause] lion so this is the choice you have if you're imitating a crippled Fox a generous lion looks like a miracle it's not a miracle it is doable yes it is doable nothing miraculous about it but there are two Ways to look at it one way is everything is a miracle tell me you put filth into the ground and mangoes come out of the tree sweetness the filth and

the sweetness of the mangoes are they same they are same isn't it so aren't the same the food that you eat and what you do in your toilet the next day they are same isn't it so yes or no if you put that same filth into the Field tomorrow once again it becomes your food isn't it so it is the same but can you treat both of them the same way no you need discretion as to how to treat it but they are same isn't it making filth into mangoes is this not a miracle making

fish into human being is this not a miracle yes or no everything is a miracle that's one way of looking at life another way of looking at life is nothing is a miracle everything is Happening between cause and effect if you are shortsighted enough not to be able to see the cause you're only seeing the effect then it is like this if you able to see both the cause and the effect everything is EXP explainable everything is reputable everything is possible to make it happen now I am talking about a technology to make you into

a miracle but this is not a miracle all Technologies look like Miracle isn't it Suppose you know nothing about electricity and the hall is dark right now and I tell you you just watch it now I will just touch this part of the wall and the hall will be flooded with light and if I do it wow you will bow down to me yes or no anything that you do not understand is a miracle for you isn't it yes anything that you are unable to grasp is a miracle for you now I'm going to pull

out something From my pocket just a combination of plastic and metal I'm going to do this and talk to somebody in India or America or where you want is this a miracle or not the problem is all of you have it this is the problem only if I had it you know if I had a cell phone thousand years ago I would have become God himself the damn thing came to me too late if I had a light bulb a thousand years ago I could have become a God the Damn thing came too late Technologies

never come in time time you know anything that you do not understand is a miracle for you and at the same time is there any one thing that you truly understand I want you to look at this do you understand this flower fully do you you may have studied botany for 10,000 years but do you understand this flow powerfully do you Understand a single atom in this existence do you no so everything is a miracle if you look deep enough everything is miraculous on one level everything is explainable on another level everything is miraculous that's

the beauty of life if you have the necessary reason and the necessary sense of wonder and inquiry in you you can know it all and still wonder about it Because you can study this flower for the rest of your life and still wonder about it that's the beauty of existence isn't it or you can be a fool who will draw conclusions about this flower and believe you know it that's a difference everything about your life is like this isn't it so yes everything about your life is like this so it's miraculous and mundane at the

same time it is within reason and Beyond Reason at the same time it is human and divine at the same time you can play between the two it's very beautiful you can also become an animal you know very easily human beings can behave like animals isn't it CU what is human is not established you can freely seamlessly move from animal nature to human nature to Divine Nature run back again if you wish it's very beautiful don't mess it [Music] Up once we are born as human beings somehow life got little complicated it would have been

very simple if he came here like any other creatures on the planet stomach full everything is fine when we were hungry we also believed that once we take care of our survival Everything is going to be fine no now once uh we realize somehow survival process is not good enough there seems to be a need to do something more immediately a whole industry which we call as religion and spirituality sprung up all kinds of people trying to tell you what you need to do to fulfill your Life or how you can never fulfill your life

but you have to go to heaven this has taken on so many forms so many and the diversity is wonderful but the deception is quite shameful the name of religion the name of believing this or that we have broken Humanity into so many pieces that we can never fix it almost looks like we can't fix It no and and then came the spiritual leaders there have been some truly wonderful absolutely incredible masters of past and present but at the same time too many of all kinds of different levels of ignorance and different levels of intention

has Um grown into it there's all kinds of deception in the world but the religious and the spiritual kind is the grossest kind unfortunately if somebody's if somebody dear to you died your neighbor who was always quarreling with you even he will simply bow down and go on that day at least yes or no a criminal who came to Rob your house Sees your wife is dead even he will say Okay a politician who for quarreling with his opposition all the time when somebody dies even he goes but the spiritual people they won't miss an

opportunity somebody is dead who is dear to someone and that moment they want to use even a common criminal wouldn't do that isn't it so and you would Somebody's dead in the house I don't think any you know like a house which is in condolence was ever burgled usually it doesn't happen you know even he avoids it so it becomes extremely important to present the spiritual process in its proper light for what it really is on a certain day a bull was grazing upon the field Chomp Chomp Chomp Chomp Chomp Chomp CHP CHP CHP ch

ch ch ch grazing grazing grazing grazing grazing went deep into the forest weeks of grazing on Lush grass became nice and fat a lion which was past its prime who was having difficulty h hunting the wild creatures saw this nice fat Bull and stalked him ped upon him killed him ate him up stomach became full then with great satisfaction like Our friend rolled there were a few Hunters passing that way they heard the roar they tracked him down and shot him dead the moral of the story is when you are so full of bull you

should not open your [Applause] mouth but they are so full of bull and Not For a Moment they'll keep their mouth Shut you know I was uh two years ago when I was at the economic Forum somebody was speaking about something actually they were talking about brick making you know this is my problem I'm interested in everything there is nothing that doesn't interest me so spiritual process is just this A deeper involvement with life much deeper than people would ever imagine not just living the surface living the core this is not some bull that you

read in some book this is not some nonsense that you receiv received from somewhere this is going to the very core of life and you cannot go to the core of Life unless you are willing to pay attention to the detail of life nothing in the existence will yield To you unless you pay attention to it isn't it yes women are all nodding men are not saying anything women are all saying nothing ever yields to you unless you pay attention to it isn't it so and nothing ever cannot yield to you if you pay enough

attention to it the creation and the creator has to to you if you pay substantial attention To it so uh if you are willing to pay pay substantial attention to something everything will yield I was just telling them you know you heard of Andrew carnegi have you heard of carnegi carnegi in 20th century became one of the richest men in America in a very short span of time in a single generation just Himself so when as a young man he got into business and his business started multiplying at a phenomenal Pace he started making money

at a pace that America had not witnessed till then so naturally the administration got suspicious that he may be doing some criminal activity to make so much money they put his business through the scanner and they couldn't find anything wrong then they set up an inquiry for him A group of congressmen were conducting this inquiry and then they asked we have looked through your business in every possible way and we don't find anything wrong so how is it that you make so much money what is this so caragi said see I can keep my mind

focused on something for 5 minutes at a stretch 5 minutes I can keep my mind focused on something can any one of you Do it they all said no and they actually set up some experiments none of them could keep their mind focused more than a few seconds then he said you should not be running United States nothing yields unless you pay enough attention and there is nothing in the existence which cannot e if you pay enough attention to it so spiritual process is just about Paying attention to life taking this attention deeper and deeper

where not just the creation the very source of creation becomes a living reality for you even the source of creation has to yield they're beautiful stories in India about how when a yogi or a Rishi sits down and starts his Penance or his meditation or something God is just helpless he doesn't want to Yield but he cannot do anything he has to come there many stories like this this is just to tell you if human consciousness is substantially focused even the source of creation cannot deny to you even that has to yeld so this is

a choice we have either to exist here just as flesh and bone as a piece of creation or as the Creator himself this Is the choice we have when you exercise this Choice when you do not waste this Choice when you actually exercise this Choice then we say you in the spiritual path I cannot understand how anybody cannot be on the spiritual path because this is everybody's aspiration everybody wants to be something more than what he is right now isn't it so that something more happens he wants to be something more this is a spiritual

Path conducted in a foolish way if you conduct it the right way then it produces results otherwise you will die as an aspiration most people die as an aspiration unfortunately very few people die as a realization an aspiration is good as a starting point but an aspiration is not a good thing as an ending point isn't it so no yes an aspiration is a good thing as a starting point an aspiration is not a Good thing at the closing Point closing point should be realized I ization beginning point is aspiration that's okay long time ago

there was a young Maiden in South India southern most tip of India she aspired to hold shiva's hand not his feet she's a proud woman she wanted to hold his hand as a wife she said if at all if I marry it's Only him if you have big desires you also have to make yourself capable otherwise desires can be very frustrating so she started working towards making herself capable to be suitable to draw that man her austerities crossed all levels of sanity and she remained absolutely focused upon him every moment just on It so it

stirred up shiva's compassion and love so he started making his journey to South India but all all the other gods conspired they did not want him to have a South Indian wife they played many tricks to stop him she set up this deadline if I'm not mared to him by sunrise on this day I'm going to leave my body and uh Shiva came to know of this And was hurrying down then the other gods thought if he gets married here he may not go back up there he may start living in South India so they

conspired to create a false sense of sunlight then light came up Shiva thought oh sun came up and I could not meet the deadline he was close and he thought it's over and he turned Back so she left her body standing even today she stands there as kanyakumari there is a shrine at the very tip of this country [Music] so he turned back and uh he felt very disappointed with himself that he could not meet up to her devotion so little despondent frustrated with himself that he didn't make it in Time he started walking back

and he needed a place to sit and work out his despondency so he climbed up this mountain and at the peak of this mountain he sat we don't know how long but because wherever sha stepped and spent a little bit of time people called that place as Kyash so they called this the kyash of the south in its height in its color probably in its magnitude it may not be comparable to the kyos in the Himalayas but in its potency and in its beauty and in its sacredness it is not any less [Music] Shiva is

not a philosopher he's a yogi when I say he's not a philosopher so it's very easy to be philosophical in fact the less you know the more the chances that you will become philosophical it's very easy to become a philosopher you just have to read a couple of books and misund understand Them you can become a philosopher the reason why you're talking about something that is written in a book is because you have not perceived grasp life in any depth if you had uh even read a single page of of this vast existence all your

life you would be talking only that there wouldn't be time to talk about anything else so Shiva is a yogi purely existential not philosophical not Intellectual this is not something that you can understand this is not something that you have to be convinced about this is not something that you have to agree with this is something that you learn to relate with if you can relate to it and experiment with it it will do miraculous things for you we need to Understand Shiva jumped from gross to subtle just like that the subtlest aspects of yoga

and the crudest aspects of yoga everything was handled at once because he makes no distinction between this and that the word Shiva means just that that he made no distinction between good and bad anything that's rejected anywhere in the world is his all those beings all those qualities all the substances which have been rejected by All the people in the world all the Gods he took it upon himself so what Shiva means is absolute acceptance not an iota of resistance everything is his it is in this state the yoga was propounded it is in this

understanding the yoga was propounded the word yoga means just the same the word yoga means everything has become One Yoga means all inclusiveness with the sense of exclusiveness in you you attempt yoga You will get into just [Music] entertainment what is the difference between Shiva and Buddha is not an appropriate question which aspect of Shiva did Buddha explore he explored the path of awareness which is one aspect it's very uni Dynam dimensional but the significance of gam Buddha is he's very scientific clinical he appeals To The Logical mind but he is like he also sat

like this many times he was an aesthetic he just sat unmoving but many times he was mad dancing drunk he was in all kinds of States because he didn't limit himself to any particular Dimension he just explored every aspect of life but unfortunately I am always strongly Feeling about this this is one being who has not been sufficiently acknowledged for the work that he has done not as a God for the work that he has done for the knowledge that he spread for the capability and empowerment that he did to humanity the work that he

did on human consciousness for that he's not been sufficiently acknowledged that's one my Wishes that uh in the next 100 years this one being must find more acknowledgement because what he has done no other being has done on this planet no other I have enjoyed being his partner and I know the depth and the dimension of his work and he has not found even a a fragment of acknowledgement that he deserves just saying somebody is a God is not Good as a being what work he done he needs to be acknowledged for that generally it's

believed this is somewhere 40 to 60,000 years ago that he started his work but after 60,000 years or 40,000 years it is still alive you can't kill it you still can't kill it isn't it by the time I'm done with my life I'm sure I will leave him little more popular than the way he is today sguru what should be the role of a Good parent in uh today's world see Parenthood is a very funny thing you're trying to do something that nobody has ever known how to do it well yes nobody had has ever

known what is the best way to parent their children even if you have 12 children you're still learning you may raise 11 properly the 12th one can give you works you know So but you want to do your best what is the best thing you can do one foremost thing I would say is uh first thing is to work upon yourself a little bit spend sufficient time with yourself look at yourself carefully how you are how you sit how you stand how you speak what you do what you don't do I think you must look

at yourself very carefully because the children are picking up everything rapidly and they'll Exaggerate everything that you're doing so one foremost thing is at least make yourself in such a way that you would like to be somebody may not approve it doesn't matter at least you made yourself in such a way that you like the way you are at least that much you must do maybe you cannot raise to somebody else's standards we don't know what kind of standards they set for you but at least you must become the way you like it the Way

you are that is a must but that will only create the necessary Ambiance it still doesn't make you necessarily a good parent but it creates the necessary Ambiance but creating the necessary Ambiance is a large part of Parenthood large part if you create the right kind of atmosphere of a certain sense of joy and love and care and Discipline for yourself and your home atmosphere generally they grow up of course you want to provide opportunities for them each one of us can provide opportunities only to the extent it's available to us isn't it yes you

cannot provide an opportunity for which you don't have access you'll always do according to your limitations I'm sure in that area you'll do your best but the important thing is what kind of human beings or brats you Raise for that what kind of human being are you is an extremely important part of raising children so uh if your wife became pregnant it's time for transformation for you because now another life is coming in you yourself are the way you don't like yourself to be definitely one more need not go that way isn't it so making

becoming conscious of what we Are doing is extremely important what should we teach what we what we should do I think one important thing that you should teach your children is that they learn to question everything but not with suspicion with a genuine wanting to know questioning can become a very sick thing or a very healthy process people question because they already suspect everything is Evil this is a sickness but you the basic purpose of a question question is an instrument which helps you to dig a Little Deeper Than where you are isn't it so

yes question is essentially an instrument with which you can dig a Little Deeper that's the purpose of a question question if you just bring this into your child's mind that a child can question anything including you the way you Are if you allow that in a healthy way not in a sick way questioning things because you think something is wrong with everybody if you bring this the child is constantly exercising his intelligence this will not ensure whether he's going to become a doctor engineer this that but one thing is clear his intelligence is active if

you anyway put him through the necessary physical Paces to give him a Healthy body and an active intelligence and of course some level of Education according to what you can afford and you bring him up without any sense of identity without any sense of identity if you can bring him up if you do not entangle his intelligence by being identified to this or that that he's willing and open to everything if you bring him up this Way the best possible that he can make out of his life he will do he may not become like

somebody else but he will grow to his maximum potential of course it depends on along the way who he meets what happens what situations he gets into whether he comes into a spiritual space or goes into your war zone where he ends up who knows those things you cannot control isn't It but if you create an atmosphere of Love meditativeness openness when you're not identified with anything naturally there is no sense of prejudice if you bring up a child free of prejudice in a loving very open atmosphere generally they do well but there is no

guarantee because there are other influences in the society you don't know into whose hands they'll fall tomorrow Morning yes you may be doing your best tomorrow morning into whose hands your child will fall there is no insurance or guarantee that's a risk that you're taking always but uh the only thing is did you do your best or not that's all there is to life [Music] essentially naturally if death happens why death is happening is because these life energies are programmed in a Certain way there are different dimensions of karma one that you're in touch with

right now is refer is prab this is a certain software so a certain amount of prabha is there within you so life process is working it out if life has to be embodied it must be in a certain level of Intensity a certain range of intensity a certain band of like certain frequency it must be there if it becomes too intense and goes above it will leave the body then we say he attained samadi because life energies became too intense that the physical body cannot contain it anymore or if it becomes feeble beneath a certain

point then it'll slip out this is called dying naturally out of old age people just lie down close their Eyes people died of old age nothing broke nothing broke his liver didn't go wrong his kidneys didn't go wrong his heart didn't go wrong simply life became feeble and slipped out that means he lived his full term whatever this particular life was programmed for it saw it full course so it lives but very few rare human beings leave Because of excessive intensity a few a certain number leave because of old age most of the others die

because something broke either you crashed your car or you smoked yourself to death or you drank yourself to death or something else broke you worked yourself to death whatever in some way you made the physical body inhospitable for Life something went wrong in this mechanism now it cannot host a life so Life lives but still it is in a certain level of intensity that it could have continue to embody for much longer period when life leaves like this then it cannot find another body immediately it has to hang let's say now I don't want to

take you or your mother as example let us say somebody had by normal course he would have died after 10 years but today because of Excessive work or stress or whatever his heart broke and he died today 10 more years were there for him approximately this all depends how he lives this 10 years if he lives in a certain way it could be worked out in 2 years or it could be worked out in 20 years it depends on various things but let us assume there were 10 years approximate life but he left the body

because he's left the body because he's lost the discriminatory mind Because he's lost the ability to perform any kind of karma as such because of this these 10 years maybe 100 years without the body with the body with a discriminat mind this would have been over in 10 years but without the body without a discriminatory mind this may take 100 years or 500 years we do not know it depends on various things depending upon the karmic substance what kind of karmic substance he Carries knowing these things because most people die of infections and diseases and

ailments and things so we created a whole science as to how to to help them beyond their body we could not help them when they were in the body because we couldn't figure out what is the ailment what is the disease now he did not get the treatment something happened he died now we want to help him in such a way that he dissolves this Quick that he doesn't hang around for too long so there is a whole science behind that so this man for whom you gave the cow money you are giving him because

his great great super great grandfather knew what to do so you are still paying him for that knowledge that the super grandfather knew but this fool also should have learned but somewhere it all got dislocated now it's just become a plain Ritual that he's learned a few mantras and you don't know what it is to check he he could be abusing you in Sanskrit as you felt terrible about him he must have looked at you and he was abusing you in Sanskrit language you don't know probably you were cursing him and he was cursing you

and cow business is happening but nothing else is happening so these things have Unfortunately happened because modern societies have are becoming more and more Superficial by the day more and more Superficial by the day day for which we'll pay a price here and Hereafter in both we will pay a very big price because we are becoming extremely superficial with the life process all those things we should not have business have become business isn't it see there are a few things we should never be Commercialized Education Health spiritual process these three things should never be commercial

IED once these three things are commercialized that Society is heading down it may take some time but it'll head down we are picking that up in India in a big way now so we will see an economic boom because cow business will happen a lot for some time and then we will head down there is no other Way so a few things should be kept of Commerce it's extremely important that is why we're looking for volunteers all the time so the dedicated people conduct certain things not people who are looking for livelihood human memory is

a fabulous thing it's because of this ability to remember we have science we have technology we have a Civilization we have information technology it's all about memory isn't but at the same time it's human memory which is a source of all bondage what you call as karma is just memory on different levels of Life memory is like a doorway a doorway can open but also it can close if doors open for You you experience doors as beautiful things if doors close in your face you always remember doors as horrible things isn't it so in your

life if doors are opening for you wherever you go you see door as a very wonderful thing but if it's always slamming in your face door is a horrible thing memory is just like this memory is what has given us the ability to be Informed it is because we are capable of making ourselves informed about various things many beautiful things have happened in our Lives Many the very basis of civilization is memory today what goes is learning is simply memory isn't it memory transmitted from generation to generation that is how if your father knew how

to do one stitch you learn learned how to make the second Stitch and your children learned the third Stitch this is how things have happened but if you did not remember the first Stitch Reinventing the wheel all the time nothing would have happened isn't it just intelligence would not have led to civilization memory is important at the same time memory also makes your life repetitive not receptive simply Repetitive when you carry a certain volume of memory within you life becomes repetitive automatic all sense of Being Human all the possibilities of being spontaneous all the possibility

of exploring new Terrain in one's life gets obliterated because of memory as I said it's like a doorway all depends whether it's opening for you or closing for you when people try to Learn by sheer memory many things happen and lot of so called culture and civilization is a product of that sure memory not much intelligence in it together they are a deadly combination just memory is simply repetitiveness one of the Isha meditators from from United States wanted to come to India last four years he's been planning and Planning but uh he has a cat

that he loves and uh to leave the cat for more than two weeks and come to India has been very difficult you know the cat he divorced his wife about 6 years ago so he has no such problems but the cat slowly he became little more dispassionate and he decided to Come so he handed his cat over to his brother and uh then he traveled to India landed at the chenai airport the moment he cleared the Customs first thing he did did was he borrowed a volunteers phone who had come to receive the US meditators

who were Landing that day and uh he said I need to make a call to United States okay so he called his brother and he first thing he asked how is the cat the brother said cat is dead he said what cat dead he screamed and yelled and cried and then he said okay it's dead we can always get another cat but don't you have any sensitivity couldn't you say in a gentler way simply Barking cat is dead is there no sensitivity at all in you then the brother asked okay what was I supposed to

say it's dead I can understand it's dead but couldn't you say something couldn't you say the cat went up to the rooftop there it rained heavily and he got soaked and you called the fire brigade and you went up and you got it down and you put him you took all the Care put Him in the cat hospital but he got pneumonia and he passed on but peacefully something there is no sign of civilization in you what is this cat is dead then he said okay next time I'll try then he said all right how

are you he said uh I'm doing well how is Mother well she went up to the roof [Applause] Lot of civilization has become like this because information that travels from generation to generation gets stored in different ways and so much Distortion and now you can't look at anything straight the way it is Minds get so deeply conditioned that you can't look at anything straight Anymore so what you call as culture is just memory what you call a civilization is just memory memory is not useless memory is useful but if you do not know how to

keep it aside that becomes your biggest bondage because life becomes repetitive when you are repetitive you cannot be receptive when you say that uh yourself and your Body have to go together that is clear to me but uh like mind goes somewhere else mind doesn't go with you all the time you're sitting here but mind can be elsewhere so that uh can be separate at times at times it can be with you so this is my first question and after you let's go one at a time now your mind also doesn't go anywhere it is

here thinking about something does it go somewhere your mind doesn't go anywhere It is here and thinking about something else but still it is here isn't it neither your body goes somewhere nor your mind goes somewhere nor you go somewhere there always one composite hole if you want to do anything you have to do do something that works for all of them you can't handle this separately that one separately and this one separately they're always together isn't it you mind doesn't go anywhere did you lose It it is just that you're being deceived by the

imagination of your mind it is sitting here and imagining something it is not going anywhere but you are so identified and lost that you think the mind is going somewhere mind doesn't travel anywhere it's very much here isn't it you need to understand this why your mind is going on with uncontrollable endless thought is you're identified with things that you are Not the moment you get identified with something that you are not then mind is non-stop activity you are identified with too many things and you're trying to stop your mind I'm telling you if you

try for a million years it's not going to happen it cannot happen if you take away your wrong identifications then you will see this moment mind will be just like a mirror not saying anything just reflecting Everything that's how mind should be your mind is a mechanism works best only when there is Clarity in it isn't it is isn't it so your mind is not here to think of all kinds of fancy things that's a distraction in life your mind is here to give you Clarity and penetration into life but right now mind is just

a huge ball of confusion simply because you got Identified with so many things that you are not and now you're trying to hold it back there is no way to hold it back you ate very bad food now there's gas in the stomach you can't hold it you eaten bad food the consequence is there you got wrongly identified with too many things now this is going on endlessly you cannot stop it it doesn't matter what you do you think of God God himself will go To take you to many places now you're sitting here and

you trying to meditate but you're thinking of your bar or restaurant or friend or Cinema or something now people told you think about God everything will be okay if you think about r or Krishna then you will find you will go to cinema with Rama that's the nature of the Mind Rama himself will take you to the bar Rama himself will take you to the restaurant you can't stop It cuz you gotten yourself identified with things that you're not no way to stop it so what's being done here is not about controlling your mind to

bring an awareness as to what you are not right now to start with the most fundamental identity is your body you're identified with your body the clothes that you wear your hairstyle your goatey also aren't you very much identified isn't it your wife Your children your family your education your religion endless number of identifications with all these identities you want a quiet mind there's no such thing that's why we gave you a simple device called shun where you create a little distance from the Mind once distance happens even if it's a noisy mind still it

doesn't matter disengaging from the Mind once you're disengaged from the mind you're Disengage from all identity because it's the mind which manufactures identifications isn't so don't think up all kinds of things just employ the device things will happen things that you have not imagined will happen the soul is sacred for people the body is filthy how is it possible yes that's what we've been doing isn't it so saying God is sacred creation is Filthy how is it possible your very the very thought of God occurred to you only because you saw creation isn't it when

you were born and you opened your eyes you looked around so much creation before you came here so much has happened happened obviously you did not create it so you thought there must be a Creator this is how you come to the Creator isn't it the moment you thought there must be a Creator because you in a Human form you thought it must be a big man a small man like me cannot do all this it must be a big man just two hands how can it do so much creation must be eight hands isn't

it isn't it so if you were a buffalo you would be really thinking God is a huge Buffalo isn't it so yes or No you go and ask a buffalo and see a buffalo will insist God is a huge buffal hello maybe four [Music] horns you know ID Amin you heard of idin the Uganda man ID Amin declared God is black I agree with him if a white man can have a white God why can't a black man have a black God but both those people are confused we know God is Brown because he visited

us you know some time ago I was talking to a group of people in Nashville in Tennessee and I was telling them a joke in the joke I just refer to God as him immediately a few ladies stood up do you believe God is a man I knew where it's going I said see see I'm only telling you a joke it doesn't matter you said him do you believe God is a man they take the jokes very Seriously now women are arguing God could be a woman such problems exist only in those cultures in India

we have man God we have woman God we have cow God we have monkey God we have everything every kind crawling one creeping one flying one because we foresaw all the problems of the future see when man was the most powerful force on the Planet man was naturally God now wom are also gaining in their power so women are questioning why why can't it be a woman so tomorrow suppose dogs gain lot of power which they're gaining so dogs will ask why not a dog god actually the spelling also is clothes you know he seem

to be closer than you is so your idea of God is just an ex an exaggerated version of yourself isn't it your idea of God is just an Exaggerated version of yourself see you still not able to Define yourself isn't it whatever definition you put on yourself is not correct any kind of definition you put on you it is not enough to describe this one when this small piece of creation is like this the source of creation how are you going to put a definition on it you cannot Define it you cannot understand it you

can only dissolve into it you can experience it you can never know it you Can't make knowledge out of it whatever you knowledge have knowledge you have about God is just pure nonsense cultural nonsense depending on on which kind of culture you are in that kind of God you have isn't it it can only be experienced experiened does not mean you can eat it or you can grasp it no you can experience only by dissolving in it there is no other way so we are just looking for methods Of dissolution so that we can experience

something far bigger than ourselves [Music] so when if the longing has risen within you that you want to know you really want to know I know this Wan thing to know sometimes bubbles up and again get lost in the daily regram roll it's Uh you know the nature of the mind and the body is such even the simplest processes of life could be greatly entangling simple things getting up in the morning turning up the blinds brushing your teeth using the toilight breakfast if you work work whatever these little things can be highly Entangling from the

moment they wake up to the time they're finishing their breakfast which is usually just a question of an hour or two many people are the are at the peak of agitation isn't it so yes nothing has happened yet no calamities have struck yet you haven't met your boss yet you know nothing has happened you just saw your wife and your husband or maybe your children you know All their tricks isn't it you've been them been with them for a few years you know all their tricks nothing to surprise you isn't it so with a few

months or year or in a year's time you should know all their tricks that they can play so but before reaching the breakfast table or before you get up from the table people are in a peak of agitation this is not because there is Something wrong with your life because nothing has gone wrong yet in the day it is simply because that the nature of the mind if you allow it to rule you that's how you go there is no other way it doesn't matter whether the life situations are going well or not going well

so if this is the nature of your mind and this is the way life is going on definitely it's time definitely it is an urgent need in everybody that they Must look they must look at the very nature of their life with a much deeper perspective with a much deeper penetration into it isn't it so the time has come isn't it most people don't realize that the time has come they think they can do it next year they think they can do it after 2 years there's no such thing if you value your life the

time time has come only if you don't value your life then time Hasn't come if you have any value for this life in this creation then the time is definitely come that we must look at life with it ultimate perspective otherwise maybe there is time of course there's a whole eternity ahead of you there's really no hurry if the longing arises the longing genuinely ARIS es in you really when your heart Cries wanting to know when you know the pain of ignorance when you really know the pain of ignorance then a master arises you don't

have to look for him because if you're Longing To Know has really picked up a certain intent density within you if the pain of ignorance has really you know really gone deep into You then he will anyway happen do you see this body as we've been going through this again and again to the same point when it was born it was so small now it became this much definitely you didn't need any external stretching help to get it to this size isn't it that which is the source of creation what you refer to as the

Creator seem to be functioning from within you isn't it so yes the Creator is functioning that Is that means the manufacturer of this body and this existence seems to be functioning from within you if the manufacturer is inside if you allow him to function fixing small floss in the body you think it'll be a problem so sh mahamudra is just creating a passage so that your innermost core functions if you allow it to function the nature of this in yoga we refer to the your innermost core as the Bliss Body people have always talked for

ages the that if you come in contact with God you will become Blissful you know brahmanand you know they've been talking about this see it's different ways of presenting it your innermost core is referred to as Bliss body now all we are trying to do is the physical body the mental body the ponic body and the ethic body we are aligning it in such a way so that the innermost core within you the Bliss body finds Expression the shamb is not creating Extasy the shamba is just aligning these four so that this one the source

of creation finds expression if the source of creation within you the Creator finds expression fixing your heart liver or kidney you think it's a big problem manufacturer when he comes out and begins to function everything is fixed you will see miraculously health will become okay I can show you thousands and thousands of People who come out of their ailments just like that like a miracle is it a miracle anything that you don't understand you will call it a miracle isn't it suppose you don't know what is electricity and I tell you you just watch this

I'm going to press the wall and this Hall will be flooded with light would you believe me you won't believe me we say no such things are not possible now if I press It and suddenly there's light everywhere now you think either I Son of God messenger of God or God himself depending upon which culture you come from isn't it anything that you don't understand is a miracle in your understanding either there is no miracle in life everything happens between cause and effect or everything is a miracle isn't this life a miracle you and me

sitting here on this round Planet Which is going at a tremendous speed is it not a miracle we sitting here and talking all this nonsense is it not a miracle so if you look at it if you have eyes to see everything is a miracle or nothing is a miracle these are two ways to approach life these are two forms of yoga one is to see everything as sacred another is to see everything as utter Nonsense but now your problem is what you like is sacred what you don't like is nonsense that's a problem that's

a trap everything is sacred this is a beautiful way to live everything is non nonsense that is also very beautiful way to live what these people are sacred these people are nonsense this will destroy [Music] you why are you here on a certain day A man went to the dentist he walked in and went to the doctor and he said I am a m so the dentist looked at him and said Say What You Need is a psychiatrist not a dentist Mo has never are any dental problems you need a psychiatrist the man said I

know it then he said why are you here he said because the lights are Wrong the light is on the MS will [Music] come that's why you're [Applause] so next thing is what am I supposed to do nothing what does a MTH do just drawn by the Light rushes into it and kills itself that's what you're supposed to do if uh you're drawn to This and if you're thinking from the satsang what is the takeaway no this is not a fast food restaurant there is no take takeaway so I who do the takeaway not you

I take away you don't take away anything nothing to take away this is giveaway if you give away yourself then there's something so this take away give away everything makes sense only when you're dealing with Limit limited quantities of things if you're handling only objects in your life if your life is an objective process and if your life is limited to physical objects giveaways takeaways all these things are meaningful if your life has been touched by something that is not of the physical nature then there is no giveway take Away if you give away everything

that is physicality then there is something that you can't take away it takes you away oh is this self-destruction is this some kind of a negative process for someone who is working in the wrong direction for someone who is taking the whole life process in a wrong direction who is having a wrong perspective of life Who is looking at life through a small Keyhole for him opening the door is going to be a dangerous process but what one who is longing to be free for him opening the door is a benediction if I open the

door will there be too many dangers yes there will be but I want you to know if you close the door maybe your neighbor cannot enter your house maybe Your friend cannot enter your house but death still will Through the Keyhole even if you plug the keyhole it still does actually it comes quicker doors are closed try and see just close these two doors and see it comes very [Music] quick with doors closed death comes sooner not later if one does not Know if one has not known even a moment of abandon in his life

that all your life you have been your own security guard if you are the Watchman of the house not the lord of the house then an Open Door is a dangerous thing a lock door is always the best thing but if you're the lord of the house you wish to walk in and out as you feel only then you can claim to be the lord of the house right now This this body I have no nothing against the body I am not against the body but I am not for the body is either because what

the body contains is very important keeping the body well becomes important because what the body embodies is secret keeping the container in a certain level of sanctity becomes important let me see all of you just come out of your body for some Time and then get back can you just come out for a while 2 minutes and get back can you no even if you are staying in a palace if you cannot come out that's called a prison that's not called a palace yes so I'm not asking that question yes or no anymore things have

changed even if you're living in a palace if you cannot walk out and walk in by your Choice you cannot call it a palace it's only a prison if you cannot come out of this by choice and get back by choice definitely it's a trap and a prison if you're not willing to open the doors because your security conscious safe in search of safety all kinds of idiotic things have been done very life negative things very self-destructive things now If I talk about the rivers it looks like I'm talking negative once a little boy went

up to his mother and said Mama I want to go and swim in the river the mother said no way you are not going to get into that river that river is full of alligators hungry bloodthirsty alligators crocodiles don't you ever step into that River but Mama every day in the morning Daddy swims in that Rim River oh don't you worry about him he has an excellent Insurance [Applause] cow an insurance is not a safety for your life it's good for somebody it's very good for somebody who's wishing you to die just uh for some

exigencies that may happen insurance but it is not a safety a closed door is not a safety to handle certain situations we Close the door open the door but a door is a door only if it can close and open if it is always closed it's a wall isn't it a door is a door only if you can open and close by choice if it's shut all the time it is not a door you cannot call it a door so why am I here what am I doing then the next question will be Sguru what

what is it that you're trying to tell us anyway I'm sure it's going to progress there's only one thing I'm trying to tell you I'm just trying to beat my own Own Drum but these boys are keeping all of them but to blow my own trumpet that I know I know and I know that's all I'm trying to say I know not only that I Know that which you want to know is also me that which can know is also me this is the self trumpet that I'm blowing all the time don't believe all the

other words all I'm trying to say is I know I know I know I know this is somebody blowing his own trumpet all the time day in and day out every opportunity whether people are willing or not willing whether the situation is appropriate or not Appropriate same same thing that sounds hedonistic it is if there is no thirst in your heart it is a horrible thing somebody going on saying he knows if there is a thirst in your heart to hear this that somebody can clearly say that he knows is the greatest benediction if there

is thirst in your heart water is valuable only when you're Thirsty isn't it if you're thirsty a glass of water is divine otherwise what is it doesn't mean anything only when you're are thirsty we talk of Destiny we talk of so many things being Creer in our lives then there's a question of applying our intelligence to situations and things if there's already everything was predetermined who talked about Des did I you don't talk but generally everyone you know when something happens your be Like this it's it's Destiny the work of Destiny there's a there's a

general perception about that's a simple escape from all the nonsense you have done to your life for all the nonsense that you have done to your life Destiny is a simple Escape oh it's my destiny that's why I'm like this now whatever you call as your destiny is also self-created you are creating it Unconsciously you can also create it consciously there are certain parameters in your life I think we looked at this the other day when somebody asked Karma you have unconsciously written a certain software for yourself so you're tending to go in that direction

whatever you try to do it just keeps going in this direction you want to go here but it just keeps taking you this way because your software is like That it develop certain Tendencies and starts moving in certain direction this does not mean you cannot redirect yourself yes it's quite compulsive it needs an effort Beyond body and mind to completely change that and put it in a different direction what we're doing here the whole science of what we're doing here is just that if you make your energies little more malleable if you gain little more

Mastery over your life eny energies and little more master of your mind and body you will see you can become 100% master of your destiny I'm talking about a science where you can choose the very womb that you are born into even now you're choosing but you're choosing unconsciously you can also choose consciously whether to be born or not to not to be born also can be chosen it is just that how much Have you taken into the perspective of your life if you have Mastery over your body about 15 to 20% of your destiny

will be in your hands if you have Mastery over your mind about 50 to 60% of your life and your destiny will be in your hands if you have Mastery over your life energies 100% of your destiny will be in your hands [Music] now Uh if you drive by yourself without a road map you don't know what is just next building to get there you may go around the world and get there or in the process of going around the world you may just get lost or fall dead yes not everybody has the endurance to

complete the Journey of that kind which is of Uncertain duration isn't it or you go with a road map somebody Has told you this is it this is it this is it you do you do just that and go with the road map still it's your effort with somebody's guidance other ways somebody is going there you can see that this person is going in the right direction so you just follow him another way another way is you don't even trust you following him because one moment you want to go to the bathroom by then he

will be Gone so you just get on to his bus now now anyway you go there no effort from your side but there are different aspects of you you want to go yourself because there is a certain aspect of you which want to do things isn't it all of you if I ask you why are you working this hard you say what shouldn't we live don't I need food shouldn't I feed my children my Wife do one thing I'll give them a roof and I'll give you food you don't do anything you simply sit okay

you your wife your children I'll feed them I'll give them a roof for their head you don't do anything just sit quietly possible you'll go crazy you'll want to do many things isn't it so there is something in you which wants to do things till that urge is very Strong then you do your own driving if you're sensible use the road M otherwise get lost for a while here and there do all kinds of crazy things when you see you're not getting anywhere ask for a road map with road map also you can get very

confused and lost then you drive behind somebody if you're doing well that way fine if you're not doing well that way even there you're getting lost then you Just get onto somebody's bus now even if you sleep you'll go this means that you have to keep yourself aside if you have to get onto somebody's bus you have to keep yourself completely aside your personality will not pass you have to just sit you don't decide how fast to drive what to do how how to swing the bus no isn't it you just sit if he stops

you stop with him if he Goes you go with him this is one way of journeying but you want to drive your own vehicle then it involves risks isn't it it involves various things so what is it that you're ready for is something that you have to decide these four ways I'm talking about a gist bti Gana Karma k understand you want to do your own thing 100% you don't want to depend on anybody this is Cle you want to take a road map and go Gana you want to follow somebody else's bus Karma you

just want to sit in somebody else's bus and go you don't mind not being the driver B what are you ready for right now you must see that what I see is before you come to just getting into somebody's bus you must go through all those things otherwise you'll sit in the bus and want To drive it you'll sit in the back seat and want to drive it isn't it most of the time that won't be good before you settle down into the seat you should EX exhaust the other aspects then only you can settle

down so how do you know the bus is going in the right direction that's a big question how do you know this bus is really going there you really don't know Actually you have no way of knowing also it is just that if you know noce that the driver or the bus seem to be traveling a different kind of terrain than you know you must get on to it and try it if you look at the driver you feel very threatened but still you want to be there that means you must get on the bus

If you're very comfortable you're very pleased with the driver you like the driver very pleasant don't get out to the bus cuz he belongs to your realm that's why you like him so much he's just like you if you if you sit with someone and for no reason you're uncomfortable you're threatened at the same time you still want to be there that means you found your Guru you understand his ways are normal but his Energy is abnormal anything that you don't understand is abnormal isn't it that's physics and that's God so take your time but

when you feel you have done enough get out of the bus then you still think you need to do this and that if you get onto the bus you'll sit in the back seat and try to drive that won't [Music] work after all moon is a satellite for this planet and helplessly strong to this planet and making its rounds so what is the significance why these full moons and no moons are hell significant probably many of you know that you may not know I hope you do not Know this by experience you should know that

if someone is uh mentally Disturbed on a full moon day on a new moon day they get little more Disturbed than usual you're B of this happens to you uh say yourself you just be with me don't worry about the camera so uh it doesn't happen to you but it does happen to somebody so it is not that Moon Instigates Madness it is just that when the moon takes certain positions It heightens Whatever You Are if you are loving you become more loving if you joyful you become more joyful if you're Blissful you become much

more Blissful if you're little insane you become much more insane if you're meditative you become far more meditative it just enhances Everything that you are so we considered these days important so that you consciously create the right kind of quality in you so that it gets enhanced today is B me in the morning you get up and you be in a certain way you create a certain quality in you so that by evening that quality is enhanced so whatever the qualities that you are so that you start engineering it more consciously than being a victim

of Unconscious eruptions within yourself so the Moon is not does not make you mad or meditative it just enhances whatever you are you know even the ocean goes mad if you if you are a swimmer on the beach it's Madness for you but if you are a skipper of a large vessel it is a boon for you but something is happen happening the very ocean is trying to Rise when the very ocean is trying to rise the situ the situation may be conducive for you also to rise probably if you are willing to make use

of it and Moon's influence on human life is far more than that to do anything with yourself to be aware where the Moon is could be useful because it creates different types of qualities and energies in the system if one is aware he could make use of It in English language moon is lunar if you take a step further are you become a lunatic so generally the influence of the moon is considered illogical anything illogical generally in the west got labeled as Madness or Insanity but here we always saw the limitations of logic logic is

very Useful to conduct the material aspect of your life if you want to do your business you want to build a house you want to do all the things in the world you have to be logical there is no other way to conduct it this is the problem with us to conduct the outside we call the Divine to conduct the inward we try to go at it logically it does both won't Work for us so when it comes to subjective dimensions of life if you not willing to Step Beyond the limitations of your logic then

nothing ever will happen if I ask you to close your eyes and do something very simple you sit here and calculate okay if I do this what will I get what will happen this this this nothing will ever happen to you if anything beautiful has to touch you In your life if meditation has to touch you if love has to touch you if Bliss has to touch you you must be logical everything is logically correct but you have a long face because everything is correct with you you're correct but life doesn't work work like that

if you wake up in the morning tomorrow morning when you wake up lying down in your bed think think 100% logically do not think of all those Beautiful moments in your life do not go back to any experience which matters to you do not think of the birds in the sky the sunrise the flowers in your garden your child's face or a loving moment in your life don't look at any of that just think logically now you actually have to get out of bed that's not a small feat is it a small feet it's not

a small feet and then you have to go to the toilet then you have to Eat work eat work eat go to sleep again tomorrow morning same thing cut out the experiential aspect think of your life 100% logically and see you have to do the same damn things for the next 30 40 50 years and if you do yoga it gets elongate it it gets stretched further you know the same nonsense every day every day every day just think logically is it worth It is it worthwhile is it worthwhile no moments of extreme logic or

moments of suicide and all of you have been committing suicide like this but you don't do anything these days in one shot you do everything in installments you're committing suicide also in installments I want you to Just look back if you're unable to look back when you go home today I want you to rumage into your old pictures and see when you five six years of age how your face was it was like this no it's getting longer and longer so if you have to step out of your logic unless you do it in a

certain way it sounds senseless because right now your idea of Sense is only logical isn't it but please see the most beautiful moments in your life have happened to you only when you kept your logic aside a little bit yes logically examine Your Love Affair and see It'll be the most stupid thing you can do really yes or no maybe it's the most beautiful thing In your life but logically dissect Your Love Affair and look at it it is the most idiotic thing you can do but it might have become the most beautiful experience in

your life so The Logical dimension of life and the experiential possibility of who you are are diametrically opposite so in yoga we look at you as two aspects the Sun and the Moon you have seen the symbolism you have heard of the word hat Hat yoga ha means ha means Sun ta means Moon so these are the two dimension the various symbolisms for this you have seen Shiva being represented as half man half woman all these things to suggest there is a logical Dimension to you and there's a dimension beyond that if you do not

explore both you will be an incomplete human being or you will be only half alive so when we say a spiritual process or yoga or what What we're looking at is how to become a full-fledged life process not a halflife process just the body is alive that's not good enough everything in you should be a flame only then you will see whether something is happening or nothing is happening it's worth being here if you sit here it's worth being here if you open your eyes it's worth being here if you close your eyes it's worth

being here otherwise whatever is happening it's not worth being here Simply because only a part of you is alive the other part is is yet to come alive so the moon today being a full moon the clouds are hiding it but don't worry whether you can see it or not the influence of the moon is very much there because on a no moon day or a new moon day the influence of the moon is far more than on the full moon day so whe whether you perceive something or do not perceive something is not the

issue the Influence is anyway there there is a logical element to you which helps you to handle the material well there's a dimension Beyond logic without it the subjective Dimensions can never be accessed the Moon is a symbolic representation of that dimension [Music] the moment we are born as human beings Somehow Our Lives got Complicated if we had come here as any other creature on this planet life would be very simple eating eating sleeping reproducing and dying one day now we have to do all those things but after doing all those things we find somehow

it's not enough is it that so yes once you come a human being somehow all these are compulsory in many ways people have to do these things but These process of survival even after they're complete somehow a human being is still not complete he wants to be something more more than what he is right now this longing is endlessly going on finding expression in so many different ways but all the time human being is in pursuit of something more than what he is right now somehow where you are right now wherever you may be is

not enough you Want to be a little more than what you write now isn't it isn't it so if you know only money maybe you're thinking of little more money if you know only pleasure maybe little more pleasure power a little more power whatever it may be whatever your currency may be but everybody is wanting to be little more than what they're right now the process of Desiring is continuously going on so this longing of Well-being because ultimately everything that you're doing is in search of your well-being whether you're going to work or you're going

to the bar or you're going to the temple or you're going you're getting married or you're having children you're studying in a university everything is fundamentally your wellbeing isn't it so yes different people may have different ideas about well-being somebody thinks if they can eat twice a day that's well-being but Somebody else that's not well-being isn't it our ideas of well-being may be different but every human being consciously or unconsciously constantly in search of his well-being isn't [Music] it so what is well-being when do you really feel well in your life when do you truly

feel well when you're very happy you're well even if you're physically ill you're Still well isn't it even if you're medically diagnosed as ill you're very happy right now you are feeling well isn't it so fundamentally well-being means a certain level of joyfulness certain exuberance of Life what is happiness we can say happiness is this that but in terms of Life your life energies are happening in a more exuberant way what than it normally happens depression means your life energies have become very low and State Happiness means your life energies are exuberant there are many

ways of describing happiness but only those who are happy know what it means to be happy there is nobody who's not being happy everybody's been happy but the problem is they're not able to maintain it that's all isn't it everybody's been happy in the last 24 hours how many moments of Joy have you known 1 2 3 how many maybe you can count on your fingers many People have nothing to count when you are 5 years of age a child how many moments of Joy did you know in 24 hours lots of them isn't it

somebody had to make you unhappy now somebody has to make you happy isn't it the whole equation has gotten reverse somehow all this effort of life everything that you do did education career business family whatever you did Everything was in Pursuit of Happiness is it so everything that Humanity has done on this planet is in Pursuit of Happiness is it so in the last 100 years we have done too much on this planet with the use of Science and Technology we have changed the very face of this planet today we have the kind of Comforts

and conveniences that no other generation could ever even imagine yes what royality could not afford 100 years ago today average citizens have isn't it So aren't most of you driving chariots with 100 200 horses yes even Kings could not afford this but are we any happier we are definitely the most comfortable generation ever on this planet is it so physically but are we also the most Joy joyful generation so it's not worked science and technology has brought enormous amount of comfort and convenience to our lives things that we Could not imagine just 25 years ago

or just a living reality today isn't it but are we any more joyful no and all these con Comforts and conveniences have not come easy they' have come at a tremendous cost to every other life on this planet yes every creature from plant to animal to everything including human beings have paid an enormous price to create these Comforts and conveniences and we are not even happy what is the Point we are literally making a bonfire of this planet if you are ecstatic it's okay burn the planet it's all right we are not even happy I

think it's time to really look at it isn't it why are we burning it up if you're not even happy [Music] one who is stuck in the realm of right and wrong okay not okay liking and Disliking will never know the texture of love room is a lava he talking a language which doesn't belong to right and wrong roomi is talking about a field or a realm Beyond right and wrong which if he works up his love when it becomes intense enough once in a way he gets to that realm or that field that he's

talking About but for a yogi that's the realm he is in once in a way he comes down to the realm of right and wrong when he has to deal with the world otherwise that's where he is and love Is Just One of the ways to get there a sweet way a pleasant way but the problem with pleasantness is uh when something gets Pleasant for a lot of people the journey Gets Pleasant they'll never make it to the destination unfortunate it's wonderful if the journey is Pleasant it's the best way the most intelligent way to

get to the destination is making the journey Pleasant and beautiful but unfortunately most people will not make it to the destination if their Journey gets very pleasant they'll Park Themselves right there in their pleasantness once you start distinguishing between pleasantness and unpleasantness How Can You Escape right and wrong once you start choosing what is Pleasant what is unpleasant you cannot Escape what is right and what is wrong so when one talks about a realm or a field or a land which is beyond right and Wrong it is also Beyond acceptance and resistance it is beyond

acceptance and rejection you can accept and reject only when you identify something as good good and bad right and wrong as long as you're in that realm you will enjoy likes and dislikes if you placed in that which you consider as good you'll enjoy that if you placed in that which you consider as Bad you will for that in this state this generally here in this culture we just dismiss this as rajas rajasic means like and dislike pleasantness and unpleasantness right and wrong all these things this state is very important for conducting the Affairs of

the world but if you want to rule the inner Kingdom this is no Good if you want to [Music] be some kind of a boss some kind of a king in this world you must know what's right and wrong you must know what's good and bad if you can't discriminate you cannot rule this world but if you want to be a king of the inner world then if you are in this right and wrong you will never get There that will not be your realm you can think you can emote because thoughts and emotions belong

to this the moment you think you cannot think Beyond right and wrong you cannot think Beyond good and bad so your thoughts and your emotions belong to this realm of right and wrong once you are beyond That and you're in a field of where there is no right and wrong there is no thought nor is there emotion in this oh is life Barren no thought no emotion is life Barren [Music] no one who knows the the boundless Ecstasy of nothingness for him The taste of thought and emotion is very puny one who is constantly trapped

in thought and emotion right and wrong in the dualities of life because he doesn't know any better and he doesn't know how to get Beyond this he has to celebrate this he has to energize this he has to make this the [Music] highest most of the World most of humanity constantly goes about elering as to what is good and what is bad good qualities bad qualities this is what is loved and respected and acknowledged in the world simply sitting here call stupid no good once there is no right and wrong it is not only that

there is no thought and Emotion there is also not much room for Action if action comes it comes only as a response to what's around that is the need for Action is completely gone in that person the need to love or hate is gone in that person so do not understand being Beyond right and wrong is a state of laugh No it is well beyond laugh to put it very simply to put it in a terminology that is hugely corrupted we can call that yoga where everything has become one love is just an effort to

get there love could be an escalator but not the first floor it is not a higher floor it is just an escalator but sometimes if you are walking in the Opposite direction you could be in an escalator forever and not get anywhere this happens in the airports there are moving tracks if you get onto the opposite one you can walk forever not get anywhere today people are huge hugely attached to this kind of [Music] moment and that's [Music] Why treadmills have become so [Applause] popular you can walk forever Run Forever not getting anywhere there is

music on it there is on it it is also telling you you're getting healthier by the [Music] second but you're not getting anywhere I didn't call this love I call this Untouchable Untouchable either means You're unwilling to touch it or you cannot touch it you're incapable of touching it there is a land that is beyond right and wrong when you get to that land and lie there humans who live for bread and toil to be what they are not will strive to hide their jealousy with mocking talk and the gods will descend to be in

the company they wish to be once you Have reached that land Beyond right and wrong you never never have to worry about making a mistake or going wrong so once you're in that land you don't have to worry about making a mistake or going [Music] wrong that's when you live with simple abandon where to other people it seems like you're reckless but there's no way to make a Mistake so why should you be [Music] careful the word celibacy does not describe or does not is not the translation for brahmachary brahmacharya means Brahman means the ultimate

Char means the path you're on the path of the timate that is brah celibacy is talking only about the physical aspect of holding yourself Back from an natural urge which is going on in the body and more in the mind so celibacy is not the right thing to say when we say brahmacharya what it means is you are working to organize your energies in such a way that your joy your love everything that you need is within yourself you have enough experience in life to know that nobody however dear they may be is 24 hours

Reliable isn't it so yes yes or no yes all of you have enough experience in life to know that isn't it however dear and wonderful they are nobody in the world is reliable 24 hours of the time to maintain your love and joy isn't it so yes yes have you realized that or you still hoping so it's out of this wisdom because if one wants to really no higher dimensions of life One thing that is necessary is that within you there is a constant sense of peacefulness and joyfulness if this is not there then you

will go after something if you don't feel steadily peaceful and joyful then you will do compulsive activity of trying to be happy so a brahmachari is somebody who is trying to organize his energies in a such a way that to be peaceful and joyful is all his own he's not going to Lean on anybody for that have all the brahmacharis reached there that's not the point they're working towards it they need support they need atmosphere to make that happen for themselves it's not a small task that they have taken up if once a human being's

way has become like this that his peace his love his Joy is not dependent on anybody he has the necessary background to spring Up to another dimension if this is not there he will naturally get entangled in compulsive activity so brahmacharya on one level fundamentally means to move from being a compulsive human being to a conscious human being you may decorate your compulsiveness with all kinds of romance around it but do you see it's a compulsive Behavior yes it is not a conscious Behavior you may have the whole world with you it doesn't matter but

it is a compulsive Behavior you can write poems about it you can write good great stories about it you can make movies about it but fundamentally it's a compulsive Behavior which you're trying to clothe in so many beautiful clothes close just to not face the reality I'm not trying to take all the romance out of your life [Music] okay once someone understands that if I'm involved in compulsive activity I will never go where I want to go isn't it so yes yes if one is compulsive in his life there is no question of he having

a goal to reach or attaining a certain state or whatever compulsiveness means a very deep sense Of slavery isn't it so one who has realized this naturally seeks to become conscious so it is from this understanding that we said if you really wanting to make a journey you should drop your compulsiveness and bring Consciousness to every aspect of your life so that is brahmacharya celibacy is an ugly word because without the necessary understanding or necessary sad or energy you just trying to hold yourself back Then you will [Music] suffer if your energies were organized in

such a way that all the time you high really high within yourself you won't lean on anybody for these things isn't it oh I'm not like that right now what to do as I told you these things don't come unless you make some effort towards it one can go through life with the Compulsive patterns without much effort you can allow the life to carry you on I know right now the new age philosophy is let it flow I don't know what they're letting flow anyway see being a part of life being involved with the process

of life on the surface is one thing at the core is another thing nature is on two different levels one aspect of Nature knows nothing other than self-preservation and procreation this is the surface of nature your own nature if you take if you take the nature of this body it it knows only self-preservation and procreation he doesn't know anything else so if you go by your physical nature naturally this is all that you will do survival and procreation eating sleeping reproducing time that's All that will happen if you go by the ways of the body

but at the same time there is another nature within you which is longing to expand if you give it the whole existence it'll gobble up and still be hungry yes do you have that or not if you feed the whole existence to this one it'll gobble up everything and still be hungry for more so there is Another dimension of nature within you which wants to expand in an unbounded way which one do you give into is subject to who you are if you give into the physical nature all you will know is just this if

you given to the inner nature which wants to become boundless then the life is different so if you have given in or if you have seen the ways of the inner nature are far beyond the ways of the physical Nature naturally you will choose to create a situation in your life that is conducive for that it is from this understanding that brahmacharya or syas became a part of spiritual process celibacy is a western idea that is just to IM imitate the yogis of the past all these things have been picked up at random by people

if you are not aware of this even 6 to 8,000 years ago Indian yogis traveled all over Europe and Arabia they established many things even when the Phoenicians were building things in Arabia they were setting up their empire even then the Indian Architects the Indian sculptures the Indian elephants and the Indian yogis went that's almost 5 6,000 years [Music] ago if a team of elephants labor sculptur Architects and yogis have to be there there must have been a much longer Association before that isn't it suddenly one team won't end up there in those days so

wherever the went they did create some awareness of what is the significance of their way of life so people picked this up at random without the necessary understanding that is how celibacy became a part of other cultures what came from a very deep understanding just the surface of it they Took that will happen everywhere see the yoga right now yoga means just twisting your body just the surface whatever you wish to do you must bring yourself to moment of joy and Clarity within yourself at that moment what you decide even if you die you must

go by that whenever your emotions go up and down your mind says many things that's not Important it says one thing today one thing in the morning one thing in the evening it says one thing today and another thing tomorrow that's of no consequence in the Moment of clarity when I'm saying Joy because when you're happy you're not compulsive when you're very happy and clear at that time if you look at things and see that yes this is what is more sensible for me just do that it doesn't Matter if it feels like hell it

doesn't matter you go through hell for 10 years it doesn't matter you just do that because that's where your well-being is when you are in different states of compulsiveness if you make decisions as to which way to turn you will be endlessly lost it is not about what you're doing it is just that You're doing it in in an unwavering way every day you are off and on off and on doesn't happen you just unwavering you become unpointed it doesn't matter what it is if you want to be a butcher be a butcher in an

unwavering way it will open up just not wavering for a moment what you have decided In a Moment of clarity and joy just sticking onto it without wavering a little bit nobody can deny You every day when your thoughts and emotions fly this way and that way you keep changing your mind changing your mind changing your mind you will go in circles endlessly in circles cuz one who changes Direction too often obviously is not interested in going anywhere isn't it you know this is uh the world is round so which direction you go it Doesn't

matter as long as you go without changing direction you'll make the journey isn't it you'll complete the journey isn't it if you change your direction it'll put you into an endless state of being lost always lost [Music] so you want to be there be there no problem you want to be here be here don't go on changing your mind Every day morning one way evening another way you are a torture to yourself and everybody around you one who is constantly changing their mind is a torture to the himself and to everyone around isn't it so

in the right now you're thinking tomorrow morning I'm going to do my yoga tomorrow morning when the dong at 5:00 in the [Music] morning I hear it every day I don't know How many of you hear it the moment it goes [Music] down maybe we should beat a drum then your body says to hell with this yoga all I want [Applause] to it keeps changing priorities keep changing and changing and changing there is another way to live where the biggest Joys that you have Known in your life the greatest Pleasures that you have known in

your life will look like you know we look like ants pleasure this being is capable of that when it when it comes to body and mind we're all differently capable no two bodies are equally capable no two minds are equally capable but when it comes to this being every being is equally Capable of containing the very existence within himself scientists are saying it's ever expanding how to contain it that's the whole beauty of it that which is endless that which is eternal that which is boundless and that which is always expanding that can be contained

in this being about that no two beings are differently capable every being is equally Capable it doesn't happen because you keep changing direction wherever you find a little niche which is comfortable you try to settle down there this so-called uh getting civilized has become a huge dent for spiritual process not essentially but I would like to say this because uh if if you were a nomad you know Nomad means what that mean that means you're not Mad so who is not a nomad one who is mad one who is mad settles down one who is

not mad moves on and on and on doesn't settle down anywhere the moment we stopped being nomadic we got into a certain kind of Madness of Safety and Security whether it's physical psychological or emotional we're always looking for that nishe where we can settle down and Sleep and once you find a nishe and it gets too sweet and comfortable and you don't have the courage to step out and once again make the journey so if all you're looking for a picnic is a picnic then it's okay you know feels like that when we if you

want to try to climb the seventh Hill you climb a certain distance where your knees will be creaking and your breath will be looking Like a you know a steam locomotive push push push push it's going then you look around and the bamboo the beautiful rocks the bamboo around you and everything is so wonderful the valley is so beautiful what is the purpose taking one more step this is wonderful this is it your mind tells you this is it it's I'm not questioning the beauty of the Place I'm not questioning the pleasure of being there

but right now this argument has come this new level of logic has come in you simply because your lungs are working like a steam engine and your [Music] legs are creaking like an unoiled Bullock Cart so New Logic will come do you see every time for different situations that you get into different states of comfort or discomfort you get into you develop a new logic have you noticed this with yourself like they say when you are a student everybody is a communist the moment you come out of your education and get yourself a job You

become a socialist the moment you get married you become a capitalist according to new situations different levels of comfort or discomfort new levels of logic will come the world has come to a point where the ma have become capitalist that's it that is it you know so it keeps happening that's why in a certain Moment of clarity and joy when you are there you look at something what You see is your well-being you stick to that tomorrow it looks like horror to you it doesn't matter you stick to it it feels like hell you stick

to it that's wellbeing if you keep shifting nothing happens [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] the dance is so perfect we almost forget the danc S but there can be no dance without a dancer we cannot see the [Music] dancer because our vision our attention becomes so surface oriented to identify the dens In the dance either you must get immersed in the dance that you also become the dance that you are not a spectator you are it then you know the Dancer by experience you're touched by it but if you not want

to know the Daner in its full depth in his full depth and dimension you want to know the source of dance that which is the basis of the ACT then you must be able to pay absolute attention in a way staying away from the dance these things look contradictory on one level I'm saying You must plunge into the T another level I'm saying You must be able to watch the dance with at most intensity this is not contradictory because you know the world Is Round Nothing contradicts anything it is just then you look at it

fragmented if you cut it down into pieces and look at it everything seems to be contradictory so if you are here totally involved in the dance totally involved in the the act itself that's one way of knowing or if you know how to keep away From the ACT absolutely uninvolved in the ACT but you able to observe the act totally you can decipher the difference between the Act and the actor the dance and the dancer that is also a way of knowing it the second takes much more awareness sharpness intensity maybe training too so it's

easier to become part of the Dance slowly as the Rhythm picks up as you get sucked into it you suck deeper and deeper into it one one day you you don't know which is you and which is the dance once you are a part of the dance you cannot miss the presence of the dance it is just that we're inventing obstructions hurdles and barriers where they don't exist recently someone Asked I'm 54 years of age he thinks that's a long time and I have seen so many spiritual teachers but I have never been drawn to

anybody like you I'm helplessly being drawn towards you what is it that you got so I said I don't have anything that you don't have it is just that all of us were Given a seed that had the possibility of boundlessness you are very careful man you are very careful and good so you preserve the seed I destroyed the seed and made it into your tree if you want to make a seed into your tree the seed has to go if you nurture the seed it will become a tree if you keep seed as a

seed and walk Around it stupid actually but it is not preserving yourself is considered smart allowing yourself to be demolished to destroy the limited possibility of what an individual person is is not considered smart to be exclusive and to be preserved is considered smart so after all you are a smart man so SM smart you even con life too Smart so once you become like this there is no possibility of you being part of any act you can neither be aware and just watch it because that takes a different kind of dispassion nor can you

jump into it and become a part of it once it happened a Maxwell met a painter whose name was Wtz and wtz was 73 years of [Music] age and just recently had been through an eye [Music] surgery so he said you just been through an eye surgery how is your vision is it good enough to paint can you continue to be a painter without sharp Vision this is difficult Jo said I think I can Paint in case I find my vision fails and I cannot paint I will become a Critic you can become an art

critic if you can't see anything so if you become a Critic you miss the whole act either you be a painter or you be a lover of art if you are a Critic you miss the whole point you'll know the you'll know neither this nor That but this keeps happening all the time self-appointed critics simply waste their lives I forget his name one great literary critic said this I have seen statues and portraits of authors poets artists but never of a Critic because You're you're a parasite like life you have don't have a life of

your own you thrive constantly looking and feeding on somebody else's life this will not get you anywhere if you're seeking survival you can be a parasite if you're seeking Liberation you cannot be a parasite a child sucks upon her mother's breast but you don't call a babe a Parasite that is okay because a child is only nourishing himself to become free of the mother a parasite is never intending to become free a parasite is too concerned about its survival that it misses the possibility so if survival is all we seek there are many ways to

survive the every seed has come With the same possibility between a seed and a tree there is a journey to be made if you want the seed to become a tree you have to nurture it you have to protect it there are weeds that you have to take care of there are too many weeds same silly weeds bothering Humanity for a million years still human beings haven't figured out how to handle these weeds simple Things like anger hatred jealousy fear doubt andless doubt the same silly weeds have lasted too long because weeds don't need any

Nursery weeds don't need any protection weeds don't need any cultivation they just grow but if you want a sacred seed to sprout and prosper you have to readed the place Cultivate the land manure it and you have to make sure enough water and sunlight finds its way if you're afraid of the harshness of the sunlight and avoid it you will also avoid the life nourishing warmth of the sunlight in your enslavement to the Instinct of self-preservation you would like to Avoid the sunlight go stand in a shade but you will miss the warmth of the

life nourish in light too that which is the basis of life is also that which ends life that which burns also bakes if you are a good cook you bake if you're a bad one you burn [Music] you once mentioned that a large population in the world is not healthy Which they could be simply because we have not understood some simple things and these simple things can be very easily thought and decimated in the world and shared with rest of the people uh can you throw some more light on what these simple things are which

can make us healthier healthy oh there was a young physician once he went to his senior colleague and said he had some problem with a certain diagnosis of a Patient then the senior colleague said oh nerves and venting is it h yes but I don't uh find any medical reason for him to be having nerves and vomiting so the senior colleague suggested you ask him if he's playing golf if he's playing you tell him to stop if he says I'm not playing ask him to play he'll become okay health is like that Really some people

are overworked and they have ill health most people are underworked and they have ill health today if you lived here on this planet 200 years ago physically you would be doing at least 20 times more activity than what you're doing right now physically definitely isn't it you would have walked to this place you would have done everything with your hands you would be doing minimum 20 times more activity I think I'm wrong 100 times probably some of you 250 times so if you were doing that much activity then I would have told you take a

break take some rest now the body has not been used only by using this body you can keep it well when you say health you're talking about physical health you must use this body the more you use it the better it gets one of the simplest things about health Is just to use the body if you sufficiently use the body body is everything to create health for itself does it mean to say that's a only thing and nothing else will happen to me I'll be perfect I would say if we physically used our body as

much as we should I would say 80% of the ailments on this planet would just disappear 80% the remaining 20% in that another 10% is because of The type of foods that people are eating they change the food habit another 10% would disappear that means only 10% ailment would remain that has happened because of variety of reasons one is karmic another could be atmospheric and there are other aspects that could have happened in the system which can be looked at out of all the sick people if 90% of them become healthy just by using the

Body and eating the right food 10% could be easily handled but now the volume of ailment is so big because we don't eat properly or we eat very properly and we don't use the body properly so apart from this there are other aspects to life to put it very simply as you exercise your body if you just do this thousand times A day just do like this thousand times a day and after 1 month just see how well your hand will work nothing else just sit here and just do this thousand times a day after

30 days you'll find your hand works wonderfully well if you do that with your brains it will work wonderfully well in a month's time if you do this with your heart it'll work wonderfully well if you Do that with your life energies it will work wonderfully well when all these things work well that's health health is not something that you invent health is not your idea health is life happening well the life process is happening well that's Health it's not your idea or my idea we are acting as if health is our idea as if

we created Health we didn't create Health if at all if you have Created Health if we if at all we have created anything we have created ill health we have not created health health is life's way if you allow life to function fully it is healthy so you just have to use your body use your head and use your energies if these three things are well exercised and balanced you will be healthy so because right now we're Enjoying the gadgets but if you build activity into your life life physical mental and energy all these things

if you build in health will come your body is working well your mind is working well and your energy is supporting the two making sure nothing goes wrong that's Health life is happening in full flow that's health health is not an idea it is not a medical idea The medical fraternity and the medical knowledge has become more and more essential because we have built in very unhealthy Lifestyles never before in the world medicine had the kind of importance as it is having today simply because we are becoming more and more sedentary so we are becoming

more and More unhealthy we are living longer maybe that's because of excessive attention and you know you can live on tubes for 20 years otherwise Nature has its own way of uh you know natural selection you know what that means yes those the life that is fit which will be selected to live that is not fit which goes on but today we've made life in a different way not that we can go back to Those old ways anymore we cannot but that doesn't mean we have to become 60 when we are 20 lot of 20

year olds today cannot perform as much activity as 60 year olds used to do 100 years ago it's a fact isn't it so 100 years ago what a 60 ye- old person was doing physical activity that Much activity a 20-year-old cannot do it today that means we're just weakening Humanity a degenerate Humanity we will become over a period of time so you must use it [Music] one reason why the spiritual process has become the main stay of [Music] reuses that spirituality is not for People who want to be vibrant and Alive because uh generally a

spiritual person means um he must be like a goat he should eat like a goat he should live like a [Music] goat if you show any life maybe you're not spiritual if life's experience has uh sunk deeper than the physical you must be much more alive than anybody else but just the rivers has been Propagated for a long time because of this large segments of society have given up the idea of being spiritual because they think if they have to be spiritual at least uh they must eat badly they must dress badly and they must

live badly if you want to create a situation within you where spirituality is not something that you learn from somebody but something that you naturally live I must tell you a story are you Okay for a story there were two brothers a father and two sons rather as the sons grew up and the father got old he told them that he is dividing his property into two equally for both of them he had large Acres of fertile land in those days question of dividing the land never arose it was only a question of dividing the

produce you you could only divide the Produce that came out of it you never divide the land as such because it was unwise to divide the land today we're paying for it everybody owns half an acre in this country and nothing is productive cuz we divided the land so he divided the produce of the land between his two sons equally one son got married and he had five children the other son never got married so both of them got equal quantities of Grain at the end of the year when the Harvest is done so the

son who was married with Children who had a large family one day a worm got into his head you know worms get into your head sometimes yeah a worm got into his head and then he thought I'm married I have a large family I get one portion of the grain and my brother who is Alone by himself he gets another portion of the Grain and in a few years my sons will Grow up and they will take care of me but my brother has nobody what will he do he deserves more than me he thought

so in the night he filled a sack of grain carried it and put it in the brother's storage so whenever he felt like this in the nights in secrecy he carried a bag of rain a grain and put it in his brother's grain after some time the same worm got Into his brother's head also he thought my brother has five children and a wife to support I have nothing why do I need so much but my brother will not not accept my generosity so in the night he started both of them unnecessary labor was happening

so this reverse osmosis was going on for many years they were getting old one day both the brothers carrying these bags of grain came and they met at one Place they looked at each other and they realized what's been happening they felt very embarrassed they felt very embarrassed and they looked the other side and continued their activity so that spot where they met and they felt very embarrassed they avoided that spot because it reminded them of their generosity clandestine generosity which put them into some discomfort They passed on and after many years the town's people

wanted to build a temple so they were looking for a site where to build it then after much searching they decided that spot where the brothers met in the night looked at each other and felt totally embarrassed of their own generosity they felt that's the best place to build the temple so if you don't create that space within you you don't build a temple if you want To live in a temple it's very important that you create this much space within you that somewhere you reach out where you don't have to somewhere you step out

of your survival instincts and do something with life that your life is not all dedicated to instincts of survival you step out and do something if that little something doesn't happen in your life you don't have a space to build Temple within yourself no Temple no Divinity it lives a baren life you know how to survive you will eat well yes you'll eat well but you won't live well you'll have everything but you'll have nothing if you don't have the temple within you so if you want spiritual process to become a a natural part of

our Lives it is not because you attend a program or go somewhere and listen to somebody that you become spiritual you create that Little space Divine is an orphan in this world he's waiting for space like that constantly if you create such space you don't have to install a daty it fills up if you just create that space a deity will come and fill up by itself you don't have to go inviting some D you don't have to create one it will anyway happen it is because people are completely dedicated to their own Survival Instincts

wherever they go it continues when your whole life is dedicated to your survival there are two fundamental forces within you one dimension of you is always survival just see every aspect of your life why you have done what you have done it's in pursuit of survival isn't it when I say survival survival is on many different levels physical survival psychological survival emotional survival Financial survival social survival any different Varieties of survival but almost everything that you do is for survival sural isn't it maybe even the spiritual process because Heavenly survival you want to go there

and survive so as long as the survival Instinct is on it's very natural that you build walls and walls around yourself it's very natural to do that but there is also another dimension in you which is constantly wanting to be Something more than what you are if you look at it carefully it wants to spend in a boundless way so the process of turning spiritual does not mean turning away from the world because your idea of the world is just the kind of Impressions that you have in your mind becoming spiritual means you have deepened

the process of life in such a way that it's no more a question of memory it is more no more a question of thought and emotion Something far deeper than that has begun to happen within you something else has started moving within you which is not of the body or not of the Mind once a dimension beyond the physical and mental has become a living Force within you then you're spiritual not because you believe this or that not because you enrolled in a program you turn spiritual something beyond the physical has become a living reality

for you sguru at the beginning today you Said that uh the human is one where the source of creation has a greater presence now why does it have to be so is it just Nature's Ploy existence Ploy um a player where we are all just some kind of software programs designed for self anhil with some support systems why some people have the longing some people don't and why some people with longing find the right place or the right Avenues to get the longings fulfilled what is the secret behind all This for the first part of

the question why are you asking me I didn't create this damn place I'm only trying to create a solution I didn't create the problem so is this all apply for people the spiritual people to run their business do they have some kind of a deal with the Creator that he keeps people in such a turmoil That these people can run their show possible it's just that uh you are asking this with a certain anguish attached to it so I'm just trying to play right a little bit you know the cat and the mouse game they

say what it means is for the rat it's a life and death question for the cat it's a game So it all depends which one you are so uh why this whole thing is made like this is it some kind of a conspiracy between the spiritual gurus and the Creator no it's all conspiracy from the other side we are trying to beat the conspiracy we don't have a deal with The Conspirator but we made friends with him now that we have made friends with him we can get him to open the door or we have

found the keys ourselves El even without his permission we started opening the door these days now why in one person there is a longing in another there isn't there is no such thing in everybody there is a longing in everybody there is a longing to be little more than what he is right now isn't it in everybody there is such A longing that is a spiritual longing it just that most people do not recognize it as such till a certain amount of pain or suffering or old age or the constant threat of death enters their

life till then they will not recognize that longing for what it is they will go on painting all kinds of pictures using that longing they are painting a Million different kinds of pictures on a daily basis they think it's about money they want to fool themselves that it's think about thinking that it's about a man or a woman they know very well it's not so but they like to keep the game going and keep the game going and keep the game going forever they think it's all about a new house they think it's about a

new job They think it's about a promotion they think it's about wealth not that they really think so they just like to play this game everybody knows that none of these things will fulfill them they know it very well isn't it but they still continue to play the game so why the game is so difficult is the situation is like this Shankar and Pai and his wife were sleeping in the night the wife thought She heard some noises downstairs she thought there must be a burglar and she said hey are you awake Shankar said no

that's why you can't wake them up you understand they're really asleep it's very easy to wake them gently you can either kiss them awake if they are gentle people or you can put ice cold water as bucket of ice cold water and wake them but the problem is they're awake and they pretend to be Asleep now you have to coax them not to pretend you know it's difficult you know it's difficult that's why it seems so difficult not otherwise if people were really asleep it would be very easily to awaken them they're awake but they're

pretending to be asleep now if you see a man who is pretending to be as sleep if you roll him over he'll sleep this side you make make him sit up he'll sit he'll sleep sitting you Make him stand up he'll sleep standing when he is determined not to wake up then it's takes lots of work that's the foolish work we're doing in the name of spirituality to wake people up who are already awake but who like to pretend that they are asleep otherwise why this going on and on one satsang is enough isn't it

just one one satsung is enough why Another one another one another one because one satsung you roll them over like this then they sleep this side next satang okay that didn't work you roll them like this they'll sleep that in that position in every new position they will sleep so you don't let them sit in any position you keep them moving moving moving moving to a point of frustration where their Gap okay this damn man won't let me sleep anyway what The hell let me come awake this is the way fools will wake up but

the intelligent should wake up the moment they know they're awake they must open their eyes and see those who are eager for Life those who are looking forward to the day the moment they're awake they will get up and come out those who are not looking forward to the day if sun comes up they want to deny it by the blanket Isn't it so that's why the spiritual processor designed like this you like it or you don't like it 5:30 in the 5:00 in the morning get up and cold water and sit down and do

everything that you have to do no I don't like it I don't like it it doesn't matter you don't like it just do it you're asleep it doesn't matter you still walk around and do everything if you do this for some time then you will realize what's the point Pretending anyway they'll make me do all these things then it'll not be worth pretending you're creating a whole range of Illusions for yourself life should disillusion you somewhere it will the sooner it does it's good when life doesn't a guru tries to haste in the process of

disillusioning you do not understand this illusion as a Negative process disillusioning means destroying your Illusions isn't it if you get disillusioned is it a positive thing or a negative thing [Laughter] but that's a whole problem with life isn't it if your dreams break and you come down to reality that's when you struggle most and suffer most isn't it So yes isn't it so if everything that was an illusion broke and it landed you in reality you must be joyful but just the reverse is happening because you're awake and asleep that's the problem if you were

asleep there was no problem if you're fully awake it's absolutely Wonderful you're awake but you pretend to be asleep this is a serious problem the reason why uh G impression in the world is uh spirituality means for those uh who are over 72 there only few candidates here is uh because of the lifeless nature what it is at the same Time you don't have uh this shows how confused Humanity has been on these aspects when we say spirituality we means it's for the all people who who have no capability to live any other aspect of

life if you can't eat properly if you can't live properly if your head has begin to shake then go sit with the guru and talks some something spiritual but at the same time when we say somebody Spirited it means he's full of life isn't it so if being spirited is being full of life being spiritual must be enormous amount of life isn't but unfortunately it's generally got this impression because of the way it's been propagated presented and misused in so many different ways anybody who is incapable of Life uh Generally gets labeled as spiritual you

can't digest the food that you eat you anyway don't eat if you don't eat for 3 days you should be spiritual actually if you don't eat well dress well Live Well you got to be spiritual that's the general understanding so uh [Music] to we must drop the word spirituality people all of you should drop this idea I'm on a spiritual Path there is nobody no human being who's not interested in life if it's not working for him right now he says he's not interested but if it begins to work a little bit he's interested isn't

it yes things go bad today he says he's not interested tomorrow if you show him a little hope things may turn out well certainly he's interested So anyway you're interested in life you better be interested in it totally you better be involved in it totally and absolutely otherwise life will torture you either you must be fully alive or he must be dead the in between is torturous isn't it have you dissected frogs and cockroaches in the laboratory have you how many of you have done this you know in between is torturous don't you know One

part is working another part is not working is always torturous isn't it so don't people should not wait for life to become torturous and then try to become fully Alive spiritual process means you are alive in all Dimensions not just in the physical Dimension everything in you is absolutely Fully Alive lit up if this doesn't happen one way or the other life will become torture nothing need to go wrong in fact if everything Goes right it becomes much more torturous rather than being something wrong because if something is wrong you'll be fighting to fix it

it'll keep you busy if everything is perfectly right with your life you will become even more sick than something being wrong don't you see that when everything is right people are far more sick and suffering then something is Wrong means it becomes a challenge you want to fix it most people cannot remain mentally healthy if you fix everything for them in their life really just every aspect of their life you fix it perfectly and give it to them 60 70% of the population will become psychologically ill right now they're staying healthy because they're fighting for

something they got some cause going This losing interest in life is only when the energy is low when you feel L like this is go enough know it's all right work little burst of energy inside of you you're interested when you're keeping only parts of your life alive and try to fix it with outside support this is how life will be if something on the outside collapses today you want to die because staying half alive is a very difficult thing to do it's a very Torturous thing to do only your physical body alive only a

part of your mind is alive this is how most people are living to be spiritual means everything in you is alive absolutely now there is no choice about being alive or being dead should I live to be not to be to be or not to be is supposed to be a very intelligent question it always sounded as the dumbest question to me one who has not tasted life one who knows only Life by Thought only in his mind such questions will come if you alive to your fullest extence to be not to be will never

come because whatever happens you will be even if you jump into the hogly you still be so uh spiritual process is not for the dead or the dying it's for those who are alive and who want to become fully Alive absolutely Alive to be alive in all dimensions of who you are if this doesn't happen life will torture you in so many ways it doesn't matter what you fix it doesn't matter you fix up your finances it doesn't matter you have uh uh insured relationships around you insured relationships are always tortured anyway whatever you fix

in your life still life will torture you because you Are half alive so this idea we have to remove from the world that spirituality is for the dying it's for the living nobody is dying everybody's living you can either live with the body or without the body really you can either live with what you have picked up from this planet or you can live without it But you're still living so there are no dying ones on the planet there are only living ones some people are preparing to pay back their loan that they gathered from

other Earth some people are trying to hold it for more time but you never know when she'll collect it anyway so right now it's very important that for such a possibility to arise in everybody's lives we also create a Conducive atmosphere in the Societies in which we live why spiritual processes uh flourished in this part of the world is essentially because we created a situation where every human being could do what he wants you you need to understand this this is the only culture which ensr enshrined Liberty and freedom as the highest goals of Life

once you're born in India your goal Is MTI not God not heaven your goal is MTI today we are going about talking as if the idea of Liberation idea of freedom came to us uh from elsewhere but it is not so for thousands of years we have always held this as the highest goal in our life God is not important God is just a stepping stone your m is important is that so they've always told you this either with God or without God you get there to a state of absolute Freedom that's the most important

thing this was possible because the same sense of Liberty we created in every aspect of life around us that uh you could do whatever you want and still be a part of the society if you are a farmer you could worship your plow it was okay you are a blacksmith you could worship your Anvil it was okay you loved your mother you could worship your mother it is okay you loved Your wife you could worship your wife it's okay you led your child you could worship your child it's okay you're a g now you like

the trees and you worship the tree it is okay or you don't like any of the existing gods and goddesses you can create your own nobody thought it's wrong there is no there was never ever an idea of somebody being a heretic in the society Believers non-believers people who Worshiped snakes cows elephants monkeys mountains trees Rivers whatever they worshiped or they did not worship anything all of them were allowed to live sh with the same sense of Freedom with the same freedom to express their thought to express their whatever they feel their experience of Life

only if such an atmosphere is maintained spiritual processes will grow gr so if we do not maintain this sense Of Liberty and freedom in the way we think and feel and express ourselves and relate ourselves to whatever we wish there will be no spiritual process there will be no room for people to explore their Consciousness you have to just go by standard book what is said that's all it is so maintaining this in the country is very very important that everybody should enjoy this Liberty everybody can do what they want and still we are here

During World War II you heard of himler yes he was uh one of Hitler's Hitman so uh himler walked into a safe house where there were eight Hitler doubles eight people who looked exactly like Hitler they were trained to behave like Hitler everything he walked in and told them there is some good news and bad News because you had to treat them like Hitler because they have to get used to it so he went and saluted them and they said fers there's good news and bad news they said okay good news first then he said

our fur is still alive that's good news they said that's great what's the bad news then he said our fura has lost his left Eye okay so what happens around you will happen to you you can't get away with it what happens around you what happens to India will happen to all the Indians isn't it so we need to not for political reasons for Spiritual reasons also we need to create situations conducive situations around us you said that one can untie the knots With Life by oneself or with your help how does one go about

to achieve that first of all why are you so knotted up why are you noting yourself up after all you just just have only one thread of life this one thread why are you making it all knotted up see the two ends of Life are fixed if you see the Life as a thread the two ends of it are Fixed birth and death tell me how do you knot up a thread which is fixed at two ends you must be real veteran some kind of a specialist in Notting if uh the ends of the thread

are not fixed then you can knot it up if the two ends of the thread are fixed how do you not it up when you're such an expert in Notting what to Do it's very very hard to knot it up when both the ends of the thread are fixed is it fixed is it fixed or no in birth and in death it's fixed isn't it so how do you not this it may not even be kned life is not not it it is just that uh because of such terrible sense Of insecurity within you a

terrible volume of calculation has risen in your mind because of these calculations it looks all kned up no no no but what about my karma karma is also the same nonsense it can all be straightened out in a moment if you're willing because both the ends are fixed you born one day you'll die one day the in between few days what's the big Deal if you live here with a certain sense of abandon anyway the thread is fixed to death there is no chance of disentangling it from there and putting it somewhere else anyway that's

how life will go so what is there just living totally that's all there is as intensely as possible if this intensity has come has To come if you realize that the ends are fixed only this in between few days you have to handle [Music] and all your ideas of gaining and losing or just silly nonsense in your head if you understand this you'll ease you will just ease off when you come to utter e People have always understood ease as lethargy now only one who is at ease is capable of intense activity because rest is

the basis of Activity one who is constantly resting within himself is capable of endless Activity one who rests at certain times and acts at certain other times is always getting tired of activity so I'm talking about ease not As lethargy I'm talking about ease as Life Is Life is at ease only the mind is at some tension the tension has come because mind is disigned with life you're trying to build your own creation and hold it up which doesn't exist you are unwilling to live in the Creator's creation you are making up your own creation

and trying to hold it Up all the time oh that is that is true torture trying to create all kinds of fake things and constantly hold it up think we should give you an exercise I don't want to Dent the vessels in the kitchen otherwise I would have asked him to get the Tumblers or vessels try to hold 25 vessels in your hand and keep it up and walk and see what happens to you and especially if the vessels are Not real you have to create it and hold it up not let it fall when

it falls and shatters you have to cry you have to suffer when you have to keep the whole drama up from nothing that's stress that's real stress and that's what you're doing the knots are made up un knotting is also made up when we say meditate we told You shut all that nonsense and simply sit stop the act for some time at least even there you want to unot it in your meditation and you want me also in Partnership doing that silly yesterday was India's budget so I thought let me see what's happening to the

budget have they given any tax relief for yoga so I turn on the television want to see what's happening to the Indian budget and uh when I turned it on there Was an advertisement it's called Uh babalo or something the product is called babalo this Babalu is a liquid gum chewing gum okay like chewing gum you chew for your teeth to be clean and to smell good whatever it's in liquid form it's called babalo and you can blow it into big bubbles so this bubaloo add is an animation and this cartoon character comes and uh

instead of squeezing the liquid into the mouth squeezes on the Mir and he just drops off the mirror again squeez on the mirror looking at the mirror he squeezes into his mouth in the mirror and it just falls off then he realizes he gets it and puts it inside and then big bubbles come out and whatever that's the ad I was just thinking the whole world is just this if you try to feed the image in the mirror if you try To you know talk to the image in the mirror if you try to do

whatever with that image in the mirror it's just such a waste of time and especially if it's a distorted mirror it's one big nonsense that's all that's happening right now whatever is is happening in the image of your in the mirror of your mind all kinds of images you generate and you play with it Endlessly CU somewhere you never got interested in the Creator's creation somewhere you are so horribly egoistic that you believe that you will create one day something bigger than the creation something more interesting than the creation and that's your pain that's your

loss that's your not if you don't suffer life will not be good you must Suffer you know one who manages to ignore a creation of this magnitude and magnificence if he doesn't suffer what is the point of life they must suffer your suffering is not happening because of anything you are not H not happening because of anything just because you're too involved with your own creation you have no eyes for the Creator's creation there is no other reason and don't you ask for my partnership in the business I'm not a game for that that's your

nonsensical business my business is something else my business is with the Creator's creation for me this is good enough it's not just good enough it's too good I'm not busy making up my own creation I think it's silly generating Anything in this head so I don't do anything my bra brains can be sold because they're unused they're not working over time and what not they're just unused I just use it very sparsely just when it's needed that's all fresh brand new you know old model but brand new so you and your not there are no

Knots cuz both ends of the thread are fixed how can it be kned if one end was left loose it could be kned both ends are fixed no noting possibility [Music] the human ability to create pleasantness within himself or unpleasantness within himself is quite Limitless if it was a conscious choice I Believe nobody would choose unpleasantness unfortunately too many human beings for too much of their lifetime they dwell on unpleasantness it is not because that is something wrong with the world it is just that what you call a [Music] human he a Certain dimension of

freedom [Music] when when we said the only goal in life is MTI our ultimate Liberation this is not a madeup idea this is not an idea concocted by someone who felt very bad land this is not an idea of an entangled Being this has not come from Deep states of entanglement this has G simply by looking at the nature of the fundamental of how a human being is built this moment whatever the nature of who you are right now because it's essentially happening out of choice and choice is an outcome of of a certain Deep

rooted Freedom which could have been easily curtailed no other creature on this planet can choose either to be joyful or miserable whatever you subject them to whatever kind of treatment you subject them to that is what they become it is only this one creature who is capable of this that he can [Music] Choose to be either Blissful or create many different states of Agony within himself so the very fundamental of human nature comes from this Freedom it is in exercising this Freedom that you can allow your Humanity to overflow when we say being Humane or

being human Unfortunately most people are refering two acts of kindness now being human essentially means that you can choose what is your experience right now in your life and if Choice was conscious obviously it would be one of blissfulness we have to redefine this social Context of understanding Humanity as kindness because there are so many human beings who feeling terribly lost they have invented this that kindness is the biggest thing you could do no bless is the biggest thing you could do because the essential building block of this being has been freedom and the ultimate

goal is freedom we only said ultimate Liberation we never said ultimate God because there Is no such thing the devotees on the planet those who are lost in devotion generally look like nut cases were others who thought they smart but you need to understand a devote is one who spends maximum amount of his time and life in Blissful states he is the one who is truly exercising this Choice it is just that he might have become socially Incompatible because he did not take care of other things but he if he wishes he can take care

of other things too maybe he didn't care this is a choice this is a very intelligent choice that one has to make do you want to have everything or do you want to become everything if you try to have everything thing you will die as a frustrated old woman or Man there's no question about that if you have any doubt try one more lifetime if you have a doubt try it out after all what is the problem there are many lifetimes you believe in many lifetimes so what is the problem you can try and waste

one more try to have everything and see you will only die as a frustrated person at the end of your life so this is an intelligent choice That rad makes instead of having everything to become everything this is a possibility this is a blessed State this is something every human being is capable of it is actually your longing is to become everything your mind has misinterpreted it as trying to have everything once you become a slave after The Logical thought process now it has misinterpreted this Longing to become everything as having everything as possessing everything

if one does not allow himself to be drenched in the blissfulness of this existence but rather chooses to be in the turmoil of their own psychological existence if that's a choice one makes and also has the ocity to believe that they are intelligent what is the point making an investment That doesn't pay you make an investment that doesn't pay anything and you go on claiming it's a great investment what is the use if you fall like this life becomes one way if you fall like this it becomes another way it is just that like a

coin if you throw it initially it it flip flops all over the place when it's flip flopping you see in flashes faces of This and that that is what happens when you're youthful because you're yet to fall this way or that way so you still flip-flopping a flash of Joy a flash flash of bliss a flash of misery a flash of everything but now if you do not become conscious and fall the right way then you could easily fall into the miser's way or you can flip-flop forever and remain a teenager for the rest of

Your life remaining in teens does does not mean does not mean that you're blessed with youth youthfulness for the rest of your life it just means that you remain half grown forever to become a steady source of blissfulness for himself and everything around him if he doesn't choose to become This either he will fall into depression or he will continue to remain an immature life for always and when death comes still flip-flopping confused that before life got started it's over if you've seen people dying I would say 90% of the people die not in Bliss

not even in misery They just die bewildered there's a look of bewilderness on their face cuz when the last moment comes suddenly they realize they never lived they flip-flopped all the time those who have sunk into deep depression for a lifetime they will die in misery it is one kind of established state those who are Blissful there is nothing nothing to say about them but the rest are just bewildered Because they spend their whole lifetime in their head and when the moment of death comes it is no more a psychological process it's for real believe

me it's not just death is real life is real too but it takes the absoluteness of death death is absolute life seems to be relative but it is not life an experience of life for most People seems to be relative but death is absolute it takes absoluteness of death to wake people up just a wee bit late it's good but just a little bit late you could do it today you know just in case if you die tomorrow really just in case if you die tomorrow it's better you wake up today isn't it suppose you

survive today at least do It tomorrow please because the essence of your existence is choice if you do not exercise this Choice then you will never establish yourself as a human [Music] being you will just remain one more creature which is yes yet to be which is yet to form itself much has been said about his childhood innumerable songs have been Written about about him the legend has lived for 3,500 years as if it's yesterday probably in most families they talk about krishna's childhood much more than the childhood of their own children or grandchildren even

today so it is such a celebrated childhood because he just drove people into your frenzy with his simple beauty his smiles And his flute and the dance in his step so Krishna very joyfully very proudly he says uh I stole butter if if I don't steal butter there would be no zest in the village no excitement so he and his friends slipped into other people's homes opened the tiles in the roof and got In and they would be hung high up there so that the children cannot reach it so they climbed up each the shoulders

and got it or when it was too high and they couldn't get it they took a stone and hit so this curd and butter if it made a small hole it just poured out and they drank with their open mouths or sometimes it cracked and the whole thing crashed down so they gobbled it from the Floor they shared it among the friends and always there was excess there was just a few Brave boys will do this others are playing it safe so they call the monkeys and fed the monkeys so people this is all very

romantic but it's like your refrigerator has been raided by your neighbor kids that's the reality so some are angry some are you know heartbroken but they were not As paranoid as people are today today they would get Neurosis those women were not made that way they got angry they got it's their livelihood it's so many things so they complained about Krishna constantly so when they came home to complain to his mother about what he has done he very proudly says I would hide behind the mother and make loving eyes at them and they would Smile

so even if they're angry these gopy woman were wonderful you just have to make lovely eyes of them and then they will be okay so much culture song and music and dance is evolved around the simple pranks of Krishna and his friends here uh all this happened one thing is because there are other aspects to his life but uh one very basic thing Is he was irresistibly beautiful as a man even as a child people were just drawn to his physical self the way he was in the northern part of the country where generally people

were Fair he was dark complexant blue blish black color but he was so attractive as a child that people were willing to overlook all the quite terrible pranks that he played along the way today it's A unfortunate reality that many people in the world there are any number of people in the world who never even walked joyfully for 10 minutes by themselves the any number of people in the world where not for one moment in their whole life did they sit in front of somebody really loving them their whole life goes without in a Moment

of these things happening for such people there is no entry into gokula gokula is a place where people romped about joyfully even doing their work they're saying they danced they loved you know 24 hours being joyful being loving is not Out Of Reach for a human being why Krishna is such a huge factor in the cultural ethos of this country is this is a man who romped through his Life no matter what was happening his life went through various types of situations right from his childhood many extreme situations since he was the from the day

he was born people were trying to kill him in his childhood any number of Assassins came to execute him and through various factors and sometimes through his superhuman Capabilities these things were wed of but the most important factor is he went through it like a dance joyfully blissfully lovingly wherever he was whether he's in battle or uh just about to behead his foe there was a smile on his face whether he was in loving atmospheres joyful atmospheres terrible atmospheres when it was necessary he became Stern but the moment that Necessity was over in all kinds

of extreme situations he smiled and went through it unfortunately people would like to see this as a Divine quality smile is a human quality it's not a Divine quality human beings who have lost it have transported their Joy To Heaven they have orted their Joys to Heaven only there it's Possible so as a child he exhibited various qualities of his own when he was just about uh 3 months old as an infant it happens to be uh one of the pami festivals that means in these pastoral cultures full moonday was always a celebration every day

was a celebration full moon day was a good excuse so for the full moonday Celebrations in the afternoon itself people go to the Riverside and the families gather and they're cooking and in the evening after eating dancing everything happens so all the ladies are busy cooking so children are left here and there with somebody this very young infant just 3 month old because it's sunny the mother yesoda left Krishna under a bullet cut a parked bullet cut for Shade he was sleeping for some time then he woke up still he doesn't have the legs to

move around and dance but he want wants to be there he saw nobody was paying attention he just kicked the wheel of the cart and the whole cart crashed down that was the first display of his superhuman strength whenever it was necessary otherwise he lived as a normal human being going through all the strives and struggles of any human being But at certain moments he exhibited certain qualities which were beyond what you can call as human so everybody was gust that uh the cart crashed and they thought the child is crashed but nothing had happened

to the child and a few little boys who had seen this they said he kicked the cart that's why it fell down nobody would believe it what nonsense a 3-month old child can he kicked the cart so all the adults Dismissed that these children are you know wild imagination as he got a little bigger five six years of age he got more organized as he got more organized in his efforts people who were losing their butter got more and more distressed so a lot of complaint started pouring in to his mother constantly people coming and

complaining that your boy please keep him at Home he's our refrigerator so it became a little too much so mother Yoda scold at him he had his way with her if she's called it he knew how to cry immediately he put his face down on the floor and just cried and baled just waiting for her to attend he even goes to the extent of saying I did get angry but not like other People when other people got angry for example when my elder brother got angry he screamed he stamped his foot he got you know

he paced up and down I could see he was wasting a lot of his energy I did not get angry like that I just got angry to the extent it was necessary sufficient intelligence has already flowered in you it doesn't matter what kind of a fool you are sufficient intelligence is already flowered within You if I ask you do you want to be miserable or Blissful there is no second thought as to what is your choice that much intelligence has flowered that means you're good enough that means sufficient Evolution has happened if you did not

even know that then yes we need to work on your tail not on your head so people chose different ways to exercise this Choice the different means that were used are just this we have been continuously saying this these are the only choices that you have you can do it either out of your action when your action is no more about you simply doing something one can know Bliss in that or one can know this out of devotion when your life itself is no more about you you're completely absorbed into someone or something then you

can know This or your intellect has become absolute Choice your mind has become absolute Choice it takes instructions from you every moment of your life you have disciplined in your your mind in such a way it will not generate one thought that you don't want then you can become blessful or you transformed your very energies you got your energy into the Right kind of intensity where the am in the system the Ambrosia of life which is stored in certain parts of your body opened up and your very body your very energy your every self in

your body became sweet that's all you have Karma kaana B these the only four [Music] ways do it some way whichever Way it's best that we employ all the four of them just in case if your love fails let your Crea work work if your Crea fails let your karma work if your karma fails let your nana work let something happen do not use your intelligence in mediocre ways it once happened a few young boys caught a Butterfly a centipede a beetle and a grasshopper they took the wings of the butterfly and put it on

the centipede cut his legs off and put the grasshopper legs and cut the Beetles head and put it in the front and created a strange creature and took it to a naturalist who was in the neighborhood with very innocent Faces just like you do some of you do this when you come and sit in front of me with very innocent faces they went and presented this to the naturalist and said we found this strange in insect please tell us what this is the naturalist examined it very carefully and Said oh you just got a humbug

this is the whole problem this is the whole problem that your mind and your intellect is busy creating a humbug with humbug you don't get anywhere okay if you crawl like a centipede you may get somewhere you hop like a Grasshopper you may hop around not going very far but still you may get somewhere but if you become a hug you don't get anywhere that's the first and foremost thing that you have to get rid of why there has been a such a significant stress on love it's just because of this because you can get

rid of the humbug that strange creature within you which doesn't fit into any [Music] definition which keeps changing which keeps changing every day it changes tag and its tricks on a daily basis this humor won't get anywhere [Music] because this is not the work for a naturalist this is not natural you know the humbug that you create within yourself is not natural it is your nature that you can Choose and if you you choose Choice means conscious if you consciously choose Bliss will be your natural way of being it is not something that's hanging up

in the sky if you choose your choice will definitely be blissfulness that will be your natural way but this humbug this creature that you have created this humbug You have to deal with it so what should I do with it there is nothing to do with the damn thing because it's made up by you there's nothing to do it just needs to be discarded what is there to deal with it there's nothing to deal with it you need to understand this in the East if you look back in the history of this Eastern cultures all

over Asia steeped in spiritual processes thousands of years ago when the rest of the world was still behaving like wild animals they were in Heights peaks of intellect even at that time though though they developed music mathematics astronomy cos cosmology never ever there has been a subject called psychology because whatever kind of Hur you brought In front of an enlightened being he just discarded it he never paid attention to it no no my Hamburg is different what does it matter it's your making there is nothing to examine it's your making whether you add grass grasshoppers

legs or you put elephant's legs to it what is the what is there to examine it's a distortion of life so they never ever developed anything called a psychology or Psychiatry because they were not interested in examining your H there is no need to waste time trying to know the hug because it is just a false creation you set your emotions right bring some love into your heart love is not a relationship the relationships that people are bu building are mostly an Escape from themselves if you alone most people on this planet cannot be even

alone for a day by themselves most people because they have become such humbugs they cannot be with themselves for an hour probably they'll go crazy see when you are alone if you suffer loneliness that means you're in Bad Company isn't [Music] It isn't it so when you're in Bad Company naturally you seek some other company which you think is good company so most relationships are being formed in the world because people are in Bad Company when they're with themselves they want to escape this humbug to escape this h B they're forming a relationship and they

underestimated Other [Music] humbug generally most people underestimate the other hbor this is not happening because you made this being so Blissful now you want to share this if this being has become Blissful relationships will not happen as an escape as a relief from yourself a relationship is not a relief from your own hurg a relationship is an Opportunity to share your blissfulness that is if you've gotten there otherwise it is better you put in a solitary cell if you don't know how to be silent at least suffer the solitary because at least you will not

humbur the rest of the world isn't it a safety measure the world should take isn't it the norm in every society if somebody has an infectious disease he Is quarantined is that not a normal thing in any civilized society no isn't it so because what is not good for you is definitely not good for anybody if you are suffering the nonsense of who you are if you are suffering the humbug that you have created within yourself at least don't give the bug to Other [Music] so that's what love means that you don't give your humbur

to others you give your sweetness to others that is why so much insistence on love that when you meet somebody whatever humbug you are the sweetest part of you only that should touch the other person the best part of you you are hug you deal with it because it's your Creation you have no business to present your humbug to anybody else on this planet that's what love means Love by itself doesn't mean anything but it is a wonderful wonderful step stepping stone to become blessful so if you cannot manage your intellect the way you want

it this you can do for this you just need a little discipline that there are certain things that you don't do no matter what you Have to establish this why is change in life so difficult uh when I was younger I was excited by change I looked forward to it as happy when it happened as I'm growing older I try to avoid it as much as possible and not able to cope when it happens it all depends who is initiating the change maybe but is there something like an appropriate response to change one reason why

change is becoming difficult as you get older is Uh you have found cocoons of comfort there are many Comfort zones you created any disturbance of that you're disturbed now when you were young you were not looking for comfort you were looking for life now you're not looking for life you're looking for Comfort safety see when you were 16 18 you had wild dreams as to what you want to do with your life by the time you became 25 you cut down all the Frills and thought This is all not practical I'm becoming practical now all

that you happened is you are becoming a coward but you said I'm becoming practical and cut down many things and said if I get a job if I earn my living this this this is okay by the time you're 35 you're thinking if I don't get into any trouble that's enough you're not looking forward into anything great happening if I don't get into trouble that's enough but that's when you start getting into Trouble so you are not looking at life with rest you looking at life as safety the more security oriented you are the more

Disturbed you will be with every chain that happens in your life life the essence of physical existence is change isn't it isn't it so everything is changing is there anything that's not changing everything in the existence is Changing isn't it the physical existence is constantly changing the very essence of physical reality is change nothing is constant even the so-called static States or dynamic in nature everything is changing so if you resist change you resisting life if you want an unchanging life there's one beautiful place where nothing changes that's your grave either you must go to

your grave or you must get enlightened if you don't Want change then somewhere inside everything is same but otherwise as long as you a part of the physical process of the existence everything is changed there is nothing that is not changing see this moment you're inhaling next moment you're exhaling it's change isn't it if you don't want change you stop it so when you resist change you must understand you're resisting the very process of life not just your life You're resisting the very fundamental process of Life invariably you will invite all kinds of suffering if

you're living and you want to be dead you will ask for trouble isn't it you must be living when you're living you must live totally if you want to die you must do that efficiently this is inefficient ways of killing yourself really unhappiness and depression are inefficient ways of killing yourself isn't it so at least be Efficient I can give you 10 different ways to die anyway Hussein Sagar is there is it still water in it okay so you need to understand this once you resist change you're resisting the whole process of life and you

will create unnecessary suffering so once you resist change depression is a natural process Frustration when change happens frustration depression frustration and depression or [Music] uh on a certain day the devil decided to retire because he is retiring he decided to put all the tools of his trade for a garage sale so he opened up discount sale all The devil's tools there's a huge rush there are all kinds of things anger hatred jealousy this one that one everything on the table all of you people went and bought it up in no time everything was sold out

in the first hour all his tools the whole Humanity has bought it isn't it but he had still one more bag and uh what's your name Lena Lena went and asked the devil What's in that bag isn't that for sale he said no no these are the price tools just as svenes I want to keep them because they have worked best to do my job Lena said no I want it please won't you sell that devil said no no no these two tools that I have in this bag they work so wonderfully well in my

whole career that I would like to keep them as my souvenir once Lena had many other people joined behind her and please put it on sale put it on sale put It on sale then the devil pulled out and said okay if you're giving a good price let me put it on sale then it pulled out frustration and depression and put it on table these two are the best of the devil's tools if you want to destroy your life frustration you start with frustration develop into depression you're there there's nothing worse than that you'll work

against yourself and the Moment you resist change frustration is natural once frustration comes it'll naturally evolve into depression so you put it on sale you need to understand life as you know [Music] Point what you right now call us me is life maybe right now you're refering to just your personality which is essentially a bundle of thoughts emotions opinions Ideas and prejudices of course I'm missing out the important thing leaving that part of your personality if you just refer to this as me essentially you are referring to this life this life process is me this

life process has not grown please see it is the same life process if you do not remember the um at least you remember when you were 5 6 7 8 years of Age when the body was that small it was the same life process now it is the same life process it will be the same unless unless you become free from the fire elements and then it bursts open into a different possibility this whole terminology of spiritual growth is a false terminology because there is no such thing as Spiritual growth either you explode into another

state or you don't no many times I did explode but again I'm the same that's because you know during the Diwali time if you try to light the crackers there are some crackers you light them you thought they going to go boom but they Don't you light them again then you have to really poke some just uh a small little you know the the incense stick that you're using is not enough you really have to put something bigger fire inside then they go boom but then you have to be careful because they're going to explode

too quick in your face so your experiences of those Moments when you almost exploded is like that I almost became boundless I want you to experiment this almost I almost had my dinner I almost went to the toilet I almost had my breakfast please do that for the next 3 days I almost I almost I almost then you will be ready to explode in some Way so all those things which really matter either you do it or you don't do it spiritual process you almost you keep on alting so how did I become a full-fledged

human being you have not become a full-fledged human being I'm not trying to insult you I'm just reminding you you have not become a full-fledged human being a full-fledged human being is too Immense to be described he's not a humbug a madeup thing a full-fledged human being is a phenomena and that will not happen slowly yes you have to cultivate it every day for it to explode one day but it doesn't happen slowly slowly you can create the situation slowly you can create the situation but explosion is one time and when it happens nobody can

miss It neither you can miss it nor anybody around you can miss it because it's there to see so how does this little piece of life these two cells that met in somebody's wom became a meatball to start with became a life process and now a Human Being Human Being yes not a full-fledged human being no this has to become a full-fledged human being Means the same things that nure you are the same things which bind you the same things which look like the source of your life are also the limitations upon your life that

is why people are so confused as to what to remove and what to keep all the things that you think or the goodies or the baddies too that's a problem if it was very simple goodies were different baddies were different Very easy to dump the baddies the goodies are baddies baddies are goodies that is the problem so you have to dump the goodies and the bades or you have to embrace the goodies and the bades embracing the goodies and the baddies is very difficult your life would become very multidimensional if you could but you cannot

do that you may pretend to do do That people's idea of embracing everything is they try to paint everything as good and they call themselves Saints there is nothing saintly about it it's quite silly not being able to see what is what in the world is not saintliness it's just being silly but it passes off as saintliness I see goodness in everything he not saintly it is Silly different things are different ways if you don't know how to deal with it you're just being silly not being s ly but unfortunately you passes off a saintliness

being able to see everything just the way it is and still being able to accept it absolutely the way it is takes a lot so it's better to keep a little distance from everything keep small distance you don't have to run away just a little distance From everything you deal with everything but with a little distance this is a easier way to handle I'm not saying it is a better way it is a good way I'm just saying it's easier way if you like to do it the more exciting and more difficult way you're [Music]

welcome only if you have the strength not to break up on the way you attempt that otherwise it's better to keep a little Distance you look at on everything it doesn't matter for me whether whether it's good or bad from everything I keep a little distance from everything now what is this sguru just in the beginning you were talking about love now you're talking about distance only because there is distance you can laugh please know that if you create anything which is receptive life will naturally come to it it doesn't matter who who you are

Generally a is a natural space which has been created with that possibility that if a little formation happens there actually it's just a meatball at that time is a very wrong way to obscene way of referring to you when you were a fetus in your mother's home an obscene way of saying it I'm saying it this way because I want you to understand it's just a meatball even now you're just a meatball except for the life process That is throbbing within you you are just a meatball aren't you what is this sguru all these insults

meat ball water body what else are you going to call us if the life doesn't throb within you you just a meatball if a tiger walks in right now he goes for you he sees you as a meatball I want you to know yes or no he doesn't see you as a possible te for enlightenment he doesn't See you as some great something he sees you as a meatball and he'll treat you as a meatball and he will make you into your meatball yes or no if you don't like it if you want to experiment

walk into the forest and see an elephant May treat you as a football but the tiger will treat you as a meatball football you are not some of you Are working towards it but you are not a football that's a wrong perception of the elephant but Tiger's perception is right you are a meat B isn't it so before life entered you were definitely a meatball but suddenly suddenly the moment this life entered suddenly this just meat ball becomes a live process and a Tremendous possibility a little meatball what a possibility it's become that being meatball

also became a Buddha that meatball also became a Krishna that meatball became so many wonderful things on this planet so I want you to understand that today what you are is not the point if you allow it to function this process of life if you allow it to burst Open then the possibilities are immense Nature has delivered you here to this level of intelligence to this level of capability to this level of Consciousness free total free ride isn't it from being an amiba a single self micro creature to what you are today absolute free ride

isn't it so total free ride without even you asking for it here just here you are expected to do Your own thing and don't treat it as a burden it is a privilege that now Nature has decided the creator has decided that you are worthy of being given a choice as to how you live this is the greatest privilege that the Creator himself has decided that you are worthy of being given the choice to be whichever way you want to be please prove your worthiness don't Disappoint him a lot of people in the world are

depressed simply because of the Creator's work isn't it so they're questioning his judgment also that which is a very basis of who you are that which brought you from being a single cell micro creature to who you are right now without unas it brought you till here you're questioning the Judgment of that also why is creation like this why is it like this it should have been some other Way this is not intelligence don't ever convince yourself to think this is intelligence this is a height of ignorance the privilege that has been handed over to

you that now your life is your own everything is by choice this moment how you are is your choice please enjoy the privilege please exercise the Privilege and only then you can say I am a full-fledged human being may this happen to you [Music] now at times you have this situation and uh people around you want to justify why you are doing it and you have no logical answer see if you just do what you feel is right and right now M your intuition is still not very dependable people start developing these Things for everything

when their logic fails they will think that you know you want to do something you don't know how to do it you're not sure whether to do it or not do it then The Simple Solution they're taking is okay this finger is this this finger is this yes no give it to the child if he holds this yes if he holds this no this is not intuition your no I will come to you I'm not I'm going more basic the answer is not just about you I'm Just using it now this is just that your

logic has become you know incapable it's collapsed unable to come to your logical decision so you are succumbing to this simple way if some child holds your hand like this or like this yes or no anyway when there are two options 50% of the time you could be right yes being 50% of the time right is not good enough isn't it yes isn't it so I was you Know sometime ago I was visiting a a homeopathic doctor there in his Clinic they had put up an ad some homeopathic medicine which will work for all kinds

of snake bites you're living in Bombay Pro probably it's not a issue for you where I come from snakes are everywhere on a daily basis so I looked at this and uh then I asked him how come this medicine you're advertising that uh it works for all Kinds of snake bites because if you are not already aware of this snake bites are fundamentally of two kinds one type of Venom attacks your cardiovascular system another kind of Venom attacks your nervous system the're two completely different kind of chemicals and it works upon your system in a

different way generally for both you have different types of antidotes but for everything this particular medicine is Supposed to work how is that possible so the doctor said see in India 90% of the Indian snakes are nonpoisonous so 90% of the time it works so that's not good enough isn't it is the remaining 10% which is crucial isn't it so so intuition don't get into this thing about you trying to be intuitive never try to be intuitive logic is Dependable isn't It there are moments when there is certain Clarity which has no logical explanation at

that time it's okay but you never try to be intuitive if you try to be intuitive your logical mind will become deceptive and come to all kinds of stupid decisions you'll get suddenly guidance voices from the heaven you know all kinds of voices people are hearing logic is Dependable go by it at least you won't make a fool of yourself there are moments when there is Simple Clarity for which there is no confusion it's 100% clear then you go ahead but now whether you take a logical decision or an intuitive decision people around you will

always protest if it doesn't agree with them isn't it so isn't it so it's not because you're intuitive they're protesting if you take a logical decision also they protest if you take an intuitive decision also they protest if it's not in line with what they Want so that's a consequence that everybody has to face no matter what kind of decision you take isn't it that's something we must learn to handle the social situation around us you are the first live person who has spoken of so many of these things that I have read about and

now I'm I'm sort of restless I I want to get on with it if you will and I know that's my mind and I'm not even my experience today has been that I haven't been able to Appreciate um to receive life here today I've been um anxious to move ahead to to experiencing life but I I can't seem to do it myself I can't seem to sustain it now let's uh look at it through like an analogy you're living in certain prison let's say there's a fort around you initially if the wall is big enough

it all seems to be okay yes let's say this is 50 acre land Big wall you lived in this only all the time you felt quite all right but then suddenly you see up and the birds seem to be going Beyond 50 acres the wind seems to be blowing Beyond 50 acres there is something within you which gets into the madness people around you who pretend to be sane they all tell you stop that nonsense just do what you have to do here don't have such fancy dreams you know and they're telling you the So-called

worldly wise people they're always telling you but you cannot suppress this if you suppress this you will suffer if it doesn't find expression you'll suffer but if it seeks expression you'll suffer even more a Seeker suffers much more than others because now he knows the pain of ignorance most people in the world do not know the pain of ignorance if you do not know the pain of Ignorance you have real no real longing within you isn't it you are the kind if you eat a pizza you are happy I'm not saying you should not enjoy

your pizza it's just that if you eat a pizza you think life is fulfilled now you still don't know the pain of ignorance you think by eating sleeping or indulging in this pleasure or that pleasure life is Complete you still do not know the pain of ignorance the pain of ignorance should tear you apart then the Longing To Know becomes intense if the Longing To Know becomes intense it is just one moment the reason why it seems to be so far away is simply because the necessary longing has not come it is just off and

on longing accordingly often on experience if the longing becomes so intense that till I know I cannot sleep I cannot eat I cannot breathe if it becomes like that just in one moment you will know because what you're seeking is not sitting on the mountain or floating on the clouds it is within you you know Jesus told you though he did his initial marketing about taking you to kingdom of God the moment enough people gathered he turned around and said kingdom of God is within you if kingdom of God is somewhere I Don't care to

go there it's okay if it's within you and you missed it that's tragedy isn't it isn't it so if it is somewhere up in the heav I don't want to go there I'm happy in Ohio that's different but if it's within you and you missed it that's true tragedy isn't it right now that's the tragedy it's right here and people are missing it there was a time when I first came to this if I just looked at people I would burst into tears just seeing what they're missing right here I am exploring with ecstasy people

are walking around with long faces and it's there in them also I can see it right there but they are going about totally unaware of it I would just cry if I see people tears would come now I got season and I just laugh at them cuz there's no other way to handle life you Know so one of the ways is now there is a wall you jump up and fall down you have a glimpse of the outside there many jumping methods we can make you jump and have you see a glimpse of it the

Glimpse is shown to you because that is not the end of it that is the inspiration if you don't have a glimpse then you don't have the momentum to keep it going isn't it mind becomes hopeless Oh maybe there is nothing Beyond this maybe this is all there is after all eating sleeping reproducing dying what else is there this is all there is to life you'll try to convince yourself so a little Glimpse is given so that now suddenly everything here becomes stale you want to know something there to Glimpse is only an inspiration to

give you the necessary momentum to go on with Life to go on with the search and seeking now jumping and looking Beyond the Wall was good at one time after some time it becomes frustrating because it's just one moment looking and falling back again so what we need to do now jumping is not good enough we need to build a ladder isn't it I have always described yoga as a ladder to the Divine because now you're learning how to build a ladder see for me Personally the last three it's the same work same place we

in the same place now once again to some extent same people there are situations where many times I even end up calling them by their old names we have taken them to those places of past life experience where they have clearly experienced what it is and they're very much with us and They know it is so this is not somebody's suggestion this is not a story told to them this is something that's a living experience within themselves but again I insist don't believe all this because by believing you will destroy your possibility oh I know

there are lives finished you are the moment you make a conclusion you have destroyed all search within you isn't it yes the moment you make a Conclusion there is no thing to sech chch I don't know you can't live with an I don't know isn't it yes you cannot live with an I don't know I don't know it's uncomfortable right now but it's a tremendous possibility because it starts the search Once a deep I don't know enters you you will see your whole life energy become search it not just an intellectual Quest once the I

don't know sinks into you very deeply All that we have done in the 6 days is to bring you to a state where you don't know anything and you're happy about it yes you have not been stuffed with knowledge in the 6 days slowly slowly you're coming to a state where you really don't know anything if this I don't know sinks deep into you you will see your very life energies become so seeking or searching then truth cannot be hidden from you if you're seeking is intense how can anybody hide it with you For you

because it's within you nobody can take it away from you right now the seeking is not intense enough spirituality is still entertainment 7 day flsh it's not going to work that way when it sinks deep something else happens when I'm Dreaming at night it seems real to me I couldn't differentiate if the people that exist in my in my dream this seems very real and I can talk to them I can touch them And event seems to happen too so when iwake I know that is Illusions so is that the same thing for my life

right now how real is this life would it be possible when one day when I awake all these are just illusion to me all people is going to be gone the problem is you're reading bits and pieces of Zen okay bits and pieces of Zen are dangerous bits and pieces of anything is dangerous now what you're saying is true in a way Because 99% of your life is just thought and emotion thought and emotion is just a projection of life not life isn't it when 99% of the time you're only thinking about life thought emotion

is also kind of thought a juicier thought isn't it thought is dry emotion is Juicy but still a thought isn't it the way you think is the way you feel isn't it so yes isn't it so now you if you think oh this is a Wonderful person you'll have sweet emotions towards that person oh this is a horrible person you'll have nasty emotions towards that person you can't think this is a wonderful person and have nasty emotions you can't think this is a horrible person and have Sweet Emotions isn't it so because the way you

think is the way you feel thought and emotion are not different they are the same thing they just thought one is dry another is Juicy Because it's juicy it has a drag time so you think they're different so you can be thinking like this today you can be thinking this is a very wonderful person tomorrow morning he does something that you don't like suddenly you can think he's a horrible guy your thought immediately takes a right angle turn but emotion cannot turn so quick it takes a long turn takes a few days or a months

but after some time it'll come and join the thought isn't it so yes it has a Drag time emotion will not turn immediately so you think they're different they're not different they are same it is just thought one is dry another is Juicy so your whole life is just Tau and emotion so it is very much like a dream it is so now that you are onto Zen you must know about changu who who went about doing this changu was a great zen master in his ministry he had many monks and he's a recognized Master

One Day morning suddenly he's in great state of misery so when they saw the master in misery everybody got terrified if the master is in misery something really bad must have happened because always is joyful and nice so senior most monks slowly approached him and asked Master what is happening said don't you disturb me I'm in a deep distress get away I said if you are in distress that Should be death for us please tell us what is causing distress to you then changu said oh yesterday night in my dream I was a butterfly and

the monk said what is wrong being a butterfly we've been many things sometimes we've been pigs we've been Birds we've been many things that is no problem butterfly is quite good what's wrong with a butterfly said you idiots you don't understand when I was a butterfly I actually flew I went and sat On the flower I could feel the flower I could smell the flower I could taste the flower it was all real now I don't know whether I am changu dreaming to be a butterfly or am I a butterfly dreaming to be a chongu

which is true because both look equally with and real when you live just on the thought process this is how it is he's using as it a method to shock his monks out of their stuper of spirituality because people are reading sutras and this and There they think what they read and what they think is spirituality so he's trying to knock their psychological structure out so that they become existential if you're experiencing life life not thought not emotion life if you're experiencing life as such such a question will not come but when most of your

life is just thought and emotion it is very true it is very much a dream it's just another projection what does it mean by saying This is the last life after this is Moos Freedom Moos means freedom or Liberation what is the bondage please understand that what is the bondage in your life H body what else huh no those are secondary only because you have a you're attached to your body you're attached to somebody please see that if you're not attached to this body you will not attach you will not be Attached to any body

it's not possible only because of your attachment to this body you are getting attached to other bodies you say my family the only that you know actually about them is their body please see because it's only from your attachment to your body that is happening you know a little bit of their emotion and thought but that is only in reflection of the body please see the fundamental Is the body isn't it isn't it so the most fundamental is body please see today the deepest attachment between people come in man woman relationship isn't it why because

of the body where bodies are touching has become the deepest attachment isn't it this is simply because right now people are existing as body for them truly opening up to somebody means Opening up the body nothing else because they cannot open up anywhere else what else they can open huh not really mind is never open people are talking about about open mind there is no such thing mind is a closed end always they believe it's open for Comfort sake tell me how will you open your mind tell me how will you open your mind H

how will you become silent no no these are all ways of really closing your mind the people who believe they're very harest very sincere please see they are very closed in many ways the so-called good people they believe they're very open this they always claim I'm a open book the thing is everything that they know they open to others they don't know much About themselves they they have not even opened the book to themselves how can they open it to somebody else they have not even admitted fundamental facts about life with themselves whatever they have

seen they have admitted to other people but they have not even admitted to themselves they can't believe when life really puts them in turmoil and they act in certain ways good people are always shocked with themselves the so-called bad person who Is out on the street he has admitted it to himself okay all the nonsense that he is he admitted to himself he is not stupid enough to admit it to somebody else he is careful about that but the good person has not even admitted it to himself his own problems his own limitations so he

thinks he's a open book the book is not only open to him where is the question of opening it to somebody there is no such thing as open Mind because mind is a closed possibility it is an accumulation isn't it what are you going to open in this what are you going to open in this what is there to see anyway you have you have attached an enormous amount of importance to your mind I know but please look at it sincerely what is there in your mind apart from what you gathered from outside what is

there in your mind why should I look into your mind I can look Around the world and I know what is there why should I look through the Distortion of your mind isn't it huh tell me tell me one new idea no you're very mistaken electricity electricity was always there in your body every moment your body doesn't move a limb without electricity one heart does beat does not happen Without electricity if you just looked in you would know electricity very easily okay you're talking about internet internet has always been there for example I'm completely uneducated

if you ask me spiritually I have never read anything I've kept myself away from all scriptures always but never have I been ever put into a situation where I have to think What to do I always know what to do because there is an internet of its own if you are open it's always available the internet was always there only now you're you know transmitting other kind of information on your internet otherwise internet has always been there much bigger than the net that you have everything that's worth knowing is right here it's it's all there

you only just observe something and put it in a Different application that's all isn't it your internet is not even bigger than your brain isn't it so yes or no so it is just a small replica of this isn't it just a different application for what was already there tell me what is one new idea you've had everything that creation has you are just imitating in small ways that's all Isn't yes or no what is there in creation you're just imitating in little little ways it's fine it's good you're doing it but don't think you

invented you know created something new no you're just finding different applications for what was already there sir you have mentioned that yoga accentuates your perceptions and through yoga you reach the Creator that means those who do not learn or practice yoga cannot reach the Creator is that so no because uh there is nobody who is not practicing yoga everybody's practicing yoga happens hardly when we say the word when we use the word yoga we are not talking talking about a particular practice there is nothing in the existence which is not yoga the word Yoga means

everything has become one the word yoga means Union so it's a grand unification of the existence when we say yoga we are talking about a level of perception where you have seen everything as one so you're sitting here this is a kind of yoga just being able to sit in one place is a kind of yoga and that's what most of the yogis did isn't it just sit in one Place you're breathing there's another kind of yoga but are you doing yoga systematically or are you doing it ha hardly that's the only question but you're

doing some yoga isn't it your heart is beating it is a kind of yoga but is it happening in the best possible way that's the only question isn't it so if I do not do yoga can I does it mean to say I have no possibility No because yoga does not mean twisting your body or tying yourself up into knots or holding your breath or something like this see what you call as myself right now is only four fundamental realities your body your mind your emotion and and the energies which make these things happen so

for these four fundamental aspects we have four basic yogas this is known as Gana yoga B Yoga karma yoga and K yoga Gana means yoga of Intelligence bti means yoga of emotion or devotion Karma means yoga of action Kaa means yoga of transforming your energies is there anybody here who is not doing these yogas all of you are doing it to what extent is the only question isn't it so now we are talking about approaching these four activities which are anyway performing with better understanding in a more systematic way so that it yields The necessary

result so can there be realization without yoga [Music] No can the creas help a person that has a history of long drug use an obsession uhul what is it uh compulsive behavior problems mental problems can the creas help with that it's very small way we are working with people like that but uh if we have to handle large groups of people like That we need a certain facility and a certain support system definitely they could be helped but uh it needs a certain atmosphere a certain facility and things like that right now uh the local

volunteers and meditators have uh you know wanting to set up a center in the United States so they bought some land in Tennessee now it's a very beautiful piece of land we have three Waterfalls inside the land and it's very good so if the center comes up there in a short while then maybe we could think of handling s situations but then we need to First build the place then train the people it's a long process but definitely they could be helped if they are at least willing to be helped and whatever the addiction one

thing is it's a mental thing another thing is it might have become a physi ICal thing over a period of time body has gotten used to certain chemicals and things even if you mentally want to give up the body won't let you come out of it so for those things we have very powerful uh you know crias and karmas Kaa means internal action Karma means external action both crias and kmas a combination of this can be used to completely detoxify the body so that the physical urge can be taken Off once the physical urge is

taken off it is just a question of community support and family support and all that because you can't keep a person in an institution forever so what kind of community and family support is there which I feel is very poor in this country the outside support is very poor if you go on the street everything is pulling you in that direction for a person who's already been in it if He walks on the street there are so many things which are dragging him in the direction isn't it so there is no Community Support uh there

are uh a couple of people who have come from here stayed in India for sufficiently long periods and they've completely come out of it and uh the thing is they don't want to come back here because they feel if they come back here they go back to their old friends and and whatever they're Invariably going to get into it but uh life doesn't work like that unless they completely willing to uproot themselves from here and do something else which I think is worthwhile but not possible for large numbers of people it's only possible for individuals

I guess my question is if you uh achieve moch is that an eternal um um state or can you come back and you know can you accumulate Karma um in in a state of Mo uh Mo means dissolution disolution means where to come back no coming back there are no different states of Enlightenment it is just that there are different states of evolution towards Enlightenment for most beings their moment of Enlightenment and moment of leaving the body is same you looked at all this I Think so uh why is it it's come to this moment

for me to see these things it could have been seen any time but you know out of season things don't Bloom even now all of you have been sitting here in the same space I'm attending to all of you to the same way but still all of you are not eming this to the same extent for some people it's like you know it's life transforming absolutely for some people it's good for some People it's nice for some people off and on it's nice the same thing is being offered it's just their ability to to embibe

it so right now we can see this also either you can use this as a tool towards your Mo right now or you can use this as a process of hastening your Evolution both are possible whichever way you use it it's fine it's it takes you slowly there either you can go right away or you can Go slowly there [Music] um well dealing with the spine being a chiropractor I'm just wondering if the physical body can put limitations on on what you commented on I I really don't know what a chiropractic does I'm not aware

of it I just see the board's Chiropractic Clinic I just inquired what this is and whatever people have told me that's all I really don't know what they do but uh whatever they may be doing their knowledge of the spine is from the outside by studying is that's how they know the spine so when that is all the knowledge is the best thing to do is only to help somebody who all messed up in your spine to just relax trying to do anything more than that to the spine would not be good all that is

happening for most people is by improper attitudes improper energy Improper postures spine tends to contract you know it should be like this but it tends to sit back and sometimes gr up on each other and create tension and pain nervous pain sometimes very excuting pain so if you can help a person to relax and stretch out his spine it's fine but too much meddling with the spine is is not Good in yoga we have what is called as angamardana angamardana literally means Anga means the limbs or the body parts mardana means to kill to kill

the body parts so if you do angamardana then everything in you will dis disappear from your experience except your spine only the back of your head and your spine will be still in your Experience rest of it will be like not in your experience like some of you are seeing when you sit for shuna your hands and legs seem to be missing so the whole body will be missing except the spine so when you get a person into such conditions then there are many things you can do with a spine but that is not to

be attempted in a chiro practic Clinic it needs a completely different atmosphere it's not MediCal you know it's not a physical or Medical thing it's a different dimension I think a chiropractic could help a person to relax his his spine I don't know what else is being done you should tell me well um there are several philosophies on Chiropractic and um I mean it would take some time I guess to tell you um but forceful pushing of the spine could make a person very dependent on the Chiropractic you are saying four different ways of going

into the enlightenment MH so and K together can reach us FAS isn't all mixed up generally your bi is karma isn't it isn't it so how can you separate them I'm asking it's not separate actually when we are practicing Karma we totally dedicated that it doesn't matter can you commit yourself to something without your Emotion being involved in it can you please look at your life can you really commit yourself to something or somebody without your emotions being involved in it emotion is a big way of commitment isn't it yes so how can you separate

them you cannot separate them so there is no need for you to unify them anyway they are together if you live naturally all of Them are together always you cannot separate What proportion each person that's the only question [Music] a marvelous quiet Saint born in a place called m in Karnataka his name is daim may he was such a fine Weaver once he gave himself to make an unusually large Turban cloth with very intricate and Fine Design sign in it which took him months to make he made this and then because this is his livelihood

also he took it to the market the cloth was so fine and so big nobody even wanted to ask the price it should be too expensive he could not sell his Cloth then he was walking back with his fine turban cloth there a old man was sitting and shivering he looked at dasya and as I'm shivering like this can you give me that cloth dasima took the cloth and gave it to him that man opened up the cloth tore it into pieces one piece he tied it around his head another piece around his waist another

piece two pie small pieces Around his feet another two around his hands he tore it into many bits and he sat there Das just looked on then the man the old man looked at him is there any problem Das man said no the cloth is yours you can do whatever you want then dasima also took the old man home to feed him but there was nothing much at home so his wife struggled you brought a guest There's not even enough to feed you you brought a guest what to do he said you cook whatever is

there and serve him we will see later then the old man was Shiva himself he came into jail farm and produced a handful of rice and put it into their granery in the house so that became aai never was this graner ever empty in his whole life he used this to feed innumerable number of people all his Life this is dasima his devotion his poetry and his Magnificent Presence which transformed any number of people people started calling him de de means one who belongs to God [Music] [Music] and until [Music] [Music] on do you explain

the importance of a living Master opposed to a master who is No longer in his body and um the difference really do I have to really explain the difference between the dead and the living it's a big difference isn't it what would you like to be right now living or dead living isn't it so the values of living I don't have to sing it's very significant to be living isn't it whether you're master or no master it Is very significant to be living isn't it so that significance continues in everything those who left their bodies

can a great inspiration but you cannot work with them there may be a certain span of time when they may be willing to work or they may be capable of working for a certain span of time that is if they have set themselves up like that if they have certain level of Mastery upon themselves there may be some who will Work for a certain period of time otherwise their energies are conducive for your sad but they are not a guidance they are a good Ambiance they are a good atmosphere they good soil for you to

grow but still they're not a guidance when you sit here you are not mostly receptivity you are mostly your own mind isn't it am I right yes when you're mostly your own mind you need guidance and Guidance and guidance and guidance if you are all receptivity you don't even need a master I'm telling you because Grace is all over you don't need a master you don't need a temple you don't need a meditation you don't need anything if you're all receptivity that's a rare being right now your largely mind moment of receptivity may be here

and there isn't it when you largely mind you will Do best with the living not with the dead if you are all receptivity you will do well with the dead and even without the dead you would do great because Grace is not in one place in the existence there is no place in the existence where there's no Grace maybe a few places are more conducive that's different but there is is no place in the existence where there is no Grace it is just that is it churning up intensely enough in a particular place for you

to Be receptive because your receptivity is at a certain level of insensitivity now you see you sit here you think this is just a garden if you go into the temple you will become like this but some people go into Dan linga Temple and they look around nothing is happening just chit chit chit water drops are falling nothing happening what's happening here then we dunk them In cold water yeah then they go sit there and they begin to something happen there are some even if you dunk them three times in the cold water nothing happens

they go sit there and still look up and down you take them there toi suddenly they are up these are different types of energies it is not that here it's any less even here it is but uh it is not in the same level of intensity that you can Perceive wherever you are it is there you know there used to be boards I don't know if they're still there have not come and checked first when I came when we came and open the Triangular block which was the only thing actually we had only one heart

and the first thing we built in the Triangular block is one room and we built the toilet block then I found uh people had toilet problems what's a toilet Problem it once happened Shankar and Pai went to the doctor and said Doctor I have some serious toilet problems then doctor asked what is the problem you are not able to urinate you're not able to pee no doctor perfect every day 6:00 in the morning like clock workor it happens so you're not your bowels are not moving what's happening no doctor it's perfect every day at 7:00

in the Morning like clock work always on the dot then doctor thought about then what is the toilet problem you have said but doctor I always get up at 8:00 [Applause] so people had such toilet problems not that it was not happening it was happening it was happening little messy so I asked him to put up a board that Divine is here also in inside every toilet when you close the door when you sit down says Divine is here Also so that you with some sanctity can be a spiritual process after all the whole spiritual

process is to cleanse yourself it is one of the most uh the best cleanup jobs you can do in a day yes so Grace is there also I saying it's not any less in the toilet but you may not be able to feel it in the toilet because you want to finish a job and go out of that place Tempo is more Conducive not just in atmosphere even in terms of energy it is made conducive so that you can feel it right now there is Life Energy everywhere but you not able to take it in

you have to make food in a certain way and consume it then only you are able to take it in a goat comes and grazes this grass and he is nourished you cannot eat this grass and be nourished you need a different kind of Thing there are many insect forms there are many other microorganisms where for them 90% of their life energy happens because of sunlight and air no water no food only 10% of their energy happens because of water and whatever food they consume because they are micro if you are micro how much would

you consume micro micro isn't it so even in you if you become very receptive you Will notice you will see on a particular day if you remain very ecstatic through the day you will see the volume of food that you eat will just come down because your receptivity is better how you receive the sunlight air and water easily 60% of Your Life Energy can be generated from sunlight air and water only 40% from the food that you eat most human beings in the world can eat 25 to 30% of what they're eating right now and

live perfectly well Maintain the same weight not lose weight maintain the same weight live perfectly well become much more healthy much more agile much more active and much more energetic with just 25 to 30% of the food that they're eating you can experiment and it happens when you're in a Bas SP program you're not even eating 20 25% of the food that you normally eat because we don't give you time to eat and people are much more energetic Than usual people come to samyama if they become meditative they barely eat and they're still fine so

your receptivity has to be enhanced if your receptivity is enhanced dead living even the non-existent will help you but when you are so full of mind you must be with the living otherwise you will deceive yourself you will receive all kinds of messages the kind of messages that you Like if your Guru sends you a note from Heaven I love you don't believe it it's your mind yes it's your mind he doesn't do such things it's economical to receive La letters from Heaven because it doesn't cost any paper you know it's ecologically very sensitive issue

paper so it's a very eco-friendly love affair it happened a boy Went to college first day he looked like this on his left side there was a beautiful girl so on a on a little piece of paper he wrote I love you do you and passed the note to her she wrote no and passed it back he looked at it then he wiped out the no and gave it to the girl who was [Applause] behind she looked at it and she said said yes and sent it back the morel of the story Is save paper

and save nature so ecologically it's good spiritually not good so when you are so much mind you need constant you need another mind to fix you if you were not mind you were all receptivity then the dead and even the nonexistent would help even a rock would help you I'm telling you anything just a blade of grass could Be your Guru yes but that is if you're mindless when you're so full of mind no you need another mind cleverer than your mind constantly fixing you [Music] s [Music] [Music] what is a chant why a chant

a chant means it's a certain Clever arrangement of sounds the meaning itself doesn't matter we give it in such a way that the meaning also enhances because after all you have a mind and emotion which is also a major part of you if you were all energy if you were Just Energy your mind and emotion was completely kept aside there was no issue at all I just take you on an Express highway but you have a mind and emotion which is as dominant or more dominant Than the energy actually so meaning also matters to you

if I just make a clever arrangement of sounds which are a which is actually a beautiful chant but in meaning it means that you are a fool and God is a fool and everybody is a fool suppose it means like this even though the chant work works on the energy level mentally emotionally you will develop resistance towards this what am I saying isn't it so you also want a pleasant meaning Attached a meaningful meaning attached it is needed for you no because you anyway don't understand the CH that's the advantage of not knowing the language

otherwise people would also like the meaning also to enhance their mind and emotion if they're willing to keep the meaning aside we could arrange various sounds like this let's first explore the Meaning because exploring the sound would take a practical session not talking brahmanand swarupa means swarupa means the image or a reflection of that image of that rather brahmanand means ultimate Joy or ultimate Bliss so this is the image of ultimate blissfulness Isha means boundless I mean Isha means that which rules jagadisha means it's like Enforcing that saying that Jaga means existence again Isa means

jagha means the one who rules the existence is Ultimate bless fness that's what it is saying the same thing is said in a different way Akila means Akila means everything all inclusiveness is Aila that which is everything uh he's the image of that is mahesha mahesha again means uh an auspicious ruler which is The same thing or it it is also Shiva is also referred to as mahesha so you must understand this this is a tradition which is not which is not a history which is a her story okay this is this is not a

tradition of History we are not looking at these things oh you called oh you said mahesha are you talking about Shiva that's not how it Is anything auspicious in the world all those names we will give to Shiva Shiva has a million names and we say ultimately he is nothing because he's nothing we can call him anything we please if he was something we could have only called him one thing because he's nothing we can call him whatever we want everything that we like we call a Shiva Shiva is called as uh what Bava means

he's very Fierce One Shiva is called a Sund morti that means he's the most most beautiful one Shiva is called as bhesa which means he is the master of the fire elements or another meaning is he's a hideous one so like this it goes on Shiva is called as the most intelligent Shiva is called the most simple and innocent he's called bolat so whatever we like every name you can attach to him because he's a nobody He's nothing because he's nothing we can call him whatever we want so in this context the manra is just

that the meaning wise it is just saying it is Ultimate ecstasy your ultimate blissfulness which is the lord of the existence that which rules the existence ultimate ecstasy so this particular thing this particular chant that we did we have consecrated it you UT this and see what it does has anybody done it for a certain period of time by yourself anyone what does it do huh it it is supposed to take you towards ultimate blissfulness you can just use this as your sad 24 hours if You Can chant that's your sad it'll take you there

nothing else simply chant it will just take you there because the sound is consecrated it is energized It's alive it's not just sound if from NADA to NAD yoga that's the difference you can consecrate the sounds as you consecrate objects you consecrate spaces you consecrate certain sounds the moment you are to the sound it creates some completely new reverberation altoe [Music] ail is Maha br [Music] [Music] [Music] M br [Music] [Music] M br [Music] [Music] Mah [Music] [Music] BR mAh [Music] [Applause] a m [Music] [Music] [Music] n yeah [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] a [Music]
