Studies show if you're feeling lonely in a day, it's as bad as smoking fifteen cigarettes. If one is depressed, the chances of your children getting depressed is two times over. Meditation is that process through which you learn to operate this mind so that it functions as a miracle.
This is the miracle of mind. No matter what's happening with your body, no matter what's happening with your situations around you, even if the whole world turns against you, if your mind is working for you, you see it makes miracles happen effortlessly. But if your mind turns against you, even if the whole world belongs to you, you are living in a palace, you have a mountain of gold, but you are gone.
Once your mind, your intelligence turns against you, there is no way out, no power in the universe can do nothing for you. So if one wants to realize the miracle of mind, there are simple processes, there are very powerful and sophisticated processes. If you want to do very complex and sophisticated things, it will take a lot time, energy and focus, certain dedication to make it happen.
But I don't know, how much investment is worthwhile for your wellbeing. How much investment of time and energy is you deserve for your well-being, that's something you must decide. After watching the world, there was a time I was demanding if anybody comes, minimum eighteen months, you must do this, this, this, otherwise I'm not going to teach you.
Because I invested lifetimes. Eighteen months I thought is very simple, then I saw people eighteen months they think is too much for their life. So we reduced, reduced, reduced.
I've brought it down to seven minutes. Seven minutes, a shame on you all. Seven minutes, at least seven minutes can you invest for your well-being every day?
Seven minutes, seven minutes a day, you can own your day. That's the miracle of mind. If you attend to it properly, your mind can do such miracles.
Well, everybody is excited about their silly phones. That they call a smart. .
. Hey, I want you to understand, you refer to somebody as smart only if you find them smarter than you. But if you call a phone as a smart phone.
. whatever the smartphones, computers, spacecrafts, you name it, everything has come out of this miracle. It's just a drop out of human mind.
How come it is not worth tending to it? How come it's not worth nurturing it? Just simple education, school education and getting a certificate is not enough.
Something internal has to be done. Call it what you want, you call it yoga, you call it meditation, you call it anything that you want. We call it kriya.
Kriya means internal action. If you do action with your body and your mind, we call this karma. Karma is wonderful, but if you are not conscious enough, karma becomes a very entangling process.
Life gets entangled in ways. People are not suffering anything else. They are suffering things that they desired for.
They got the job that they want and they are suffering it. They got the person that they want to marry and now they're suffering it. They got the children that they want and they're suffering it.
Because your mind is not taking instructions from you, doesn't matter what you have. Even if you become king of the planet, if your mind turns against you, you're done. So if you want to realize the miracle of this mind, seven minutes a day, can you dedicate seven minutes for your well-being?
So, as a part of this, we will unveil this Miracle of Mind app, a free app. It's taken a lot of effort and resources to do this, but it's offered free. Because the idea is, in the next twenty-four months, we want to see at least three billion people on the planet are closing their eyes and meditating for seven minutes a day.
This can change the world in subtle ways. When I say change, when I say change the world, don't think there will be some fireworks and dum-dum something will happen, no. See right now it was hot in the afternoon, it's cool now.
Did you hear it happening? Some explosion happened and cool breeze came, gently it happened. That is how change must happen even within you, in your mind, gently.
But, after some time when you look at yourself, you can't believe how you were just some time ago. That kind of difference you will find with yourself and especially now when all the scientists and so-called world bodies of health are all talking about a mental health pandemic. All of you must understand, there are no sane people and crazy people on the planet.
There are no sane people. One wrong step, they can go crazy, that's you. As healthy people can do one mistake and become sick tomorrow morning.
Just like that, sane people can become insane just by crossing a simple line. Don't think people who have in some way unfortunately psychologically disturbed, oh, that is the way they are, I'm okay. It's not like that.
You and me can cross the line and right now due to various. . .
One thing is the soil, lack of life strength in the soil, plastics in your brains. All the studies are showing on an average in the world, in all the. .
. In all the urban populations seven grams of plastic is in the brain. That is like a small spoon in your head, time to eat it.
Those who are suffering from dementia, they are supposed to have four to five times higher amount of plastic in their brain. So it's become inevitable, it's everywhere. It's in the air, it's in the food, it's in the water, it's everywhere.
These are one. . .
Some things and lots of pesticides, fertilizers and above all sociological situations, many, many aspects, all put together, keeping your mental balance is going to become more and more challenging as time goes by, unless you take individual responsibility. That you make sure you will stay mentally healthy in your life and ensure people around you will stay that way. Because if one person in your family becomes mentally disturbed, psychologically ill, they will make at least another ten people's life absolutely miserable.
This is what happens. It's not just for that person, it's for everybody around them. And this is happening at a pace that you can't believe in the most affluent societies.
In United States, the Surgeon General of United States is saying one in two Americans is feeling lonely. What is loneliness? Loneliness does not mean there's no population.
There's. . we have population like never before on the planet.
There is enough population. In fact, too much population if you ask me everywhere. Hello?
Hardly there's any space for solitude. There is a lot of population. But people are lonely, not because there are no people, simply because they have become small cocoons of their own.
So loneliness means, the studies show if you're feeling lonely in a day, it's as bad as smoking fifteen cigarettes. Well, lot of campaigns happen to get rid of cigarettes, but here we are producing the same damage by ourselves, self-help this is called. And this loneliness an incubation period for psychological ailments.
Once you start feeling lonely, other things will follow. When they follow, it's not just you, even the next generation gets it. There is enough proof to show that if one is depressed, the chances of your children getting depressed is two times over, that is two hundred percent.
If you have bipolar situations within you, the chances of your children getting it is four times over. If you're schizophrenic, the chances of your children getting it is eight times over. So I'm talking about not only our health, the future generation, it's very important that each individual does something for their own well-being because these are not things that government can fix or somebody else can fix.
Your health must be your responsibility, only then you can be a contributing citizen to this nation and to this world. So if this has to happen, you must unleash the miracle of mind. I'm stressing on this once again.
Do you know another thing on the planet? Do you know anything which is a bigger miracle than human mind? Hello?
