it's not about whether i have fear or not i made myself like this only what i want happens within me what i want may not always happen around me but within me only what i want happens i think you gotta have a dream the school of greatness really coming from the midwest in ohio i grew up hearing the word karma saying that if you do something bad then bad things are coming for you and you talk about in the book that it not necessarily that case can you define karma for the uneducated person like myself
on what karma treatment i thought that was my title you're stealing that from me uneducated guru is what people say and now you're saying you're uneducated [Laughter] anyway about uh if you do bad things bad things will come for you this has been the way of the world you don't need the word karma for that because people have been trying to control people either with fear or guilt this has been the basis of a whole lot of things happening in the world if you do this you will go to hell if you do that you
will go to heaven otherwise hear itself it will happen to you whatever or there is somebody up there with a stick waiting and they will whack you all these kind of things essentially you're trying to manage humanity control humanity with uh fear or guilt yeah fear and guilt i see particularly in the western world is like enormous it is in the psyche of people in such a big way well karma is not about fear karma is not about guilt karma is about liberation it is about freedom because you are a composite as you sit here
your composite of various memories within you yes it goes back it goes way back but let's start with amoeba in recent times okay from amoeba to now the whole evolutionary process in some ways recorded in this body otherwise this body would be confused every other day whether this is human or not this is 100 clear that this is human this is evolutionary memory always there there is genetic memory there is karmic memory there is articulating articulate you know unconscious subconscious and conscious memories right now when we say memory people think only of their conscious memory
which is less than one percent of their actual memory so the things they actually remember in their mind the conscious memory that is less than one percent of the actual memory see for example i can give you a thousand examples like this which are manifesting in everybody's life the simple thing is this uh let's say 500 years ago how your great great great grandfather was you don't remember for sure no but his nose is sitting on your face probably right my ears or his ears yeah yeah many things yeah even the color of the skin
and the texture of the skin everything so the minor test details of what happened to your forefathers a million years ago still living with you right now wow it is living with you right now now all these memories a composite or an amalgamation of all these complex memories is what you call as myself what you call as myself consciously maybe just a small part of that but that small part is happening because of this massive memory that is there in uh i you know like in india we have in the yogic culture we have this
word called vasana vasana vasana vasana literally means smell yes so we say your personality is just your smell see right now you walk there there is jasmine you recognize the jasmine by its fragrance you will recognize filth by its stink so we recognize your personality personality by your vasana what kind of vasana or what kind of smell is coming out of you right now depends on what kind of stuff have you gathered so now karma means to understand that there is all kinds of things because when it comes to memory you have no choice what
to keep and what not to keep you can't you can't erase memory you cannot no matter how hard you try try and see what you try to forget will be foremost in your mind amplified yeah whatever you think you should not remember so always people tell me sadhguru my memory is bad i say just try to forget it you see it you will remember it always right it's simple so because this is the nature of the mind you cannot there is no subtraction and division in your mind there is only addition and multiplication whatever you
try to do it will be one more if you try hard it will multiply this is the nature of your mind so what is there in your memory is not your choice whatever you see it's all recorded whatever you hear everything recorded whatever you smell taste touch every perception that you have is recorded within you you have no choice what to record here there is a flower which is beautiful let me just record that there there is filth i don't want to record that there's no such thing everything gets recorded so if all this is
there how do i live clean how do i live happy how do you eliminate the waste the trash you don't have to eliminate the waste waste is very valuable if you know right now in this garden they buy waste at a very nor you know a very exorbitant price because their waste goes into the public system they have to buy waste from somewhere they have to buy filth to fertilize yes so whether you turn your filth into a fertilizer or you smear it on your face and walk around that's your choice this is why karma
so what kind of karma happened in my life till this moment is not always my choice so many things have happened but what kind of karma i perform right now in this moment is 100 my choice will i use this filth as manure and blossom into a wonderful fragrance or will i smear it around me and walk around with filth this is the choice everybody has when unpleasant things happen to us which happens to everybody in some way if you're living in the world i'm saying unless you drop from somewhere else right if you're living
in this world so many unpleasant things happen now with these unpleasant things do you become wise or do you become wounded this is a choice to exercise this choice there must be a little space when i say little space where is your memory stored people think here your brain has very little memory okay every cell in the body carries a trillion times more memory than your entire brain every cell in the every cell in the body because if i take one cell from you we can uh you know create you completely in a lab that
means what well your parents your father and mother gave you only one sell each they were not very generous only one cell each see a whole man came out of it yeah so in that one cell all this memory head to toe everything was there isn't it no mistake texture of the hair texture of the skin the nails the works every detail to the minute detail was it packed in that one cell or no yeah yes so every cell in your body carries a trillion times more memory than your entire brain carries wow so if
you do not use that if you just use one part of your body then everything seems to be stressful everything seems to be a struggle today everybody complaining about everything everything is stressful you are a toddler you have stress of diapers you are a teenager you have hormonal stress your middle age you have crisis your old age geriatric stress right all right which is not stress entire life is stress tell them okay you die oh that is enormous stress so this is not because there is something wrong with anybody's life it's simply because it's like
you have a car it's supposed to go on four wheels try to drive on one okay one may look like too much try to drive one two well within 10 miles your tires will burst because too much stress on one point other things are not being used this is all that's happening to human beings are we stressing our minds too much see when we say mind see again your hand went almost here are we stressing our minds no there is an entire there is a mind across this body what is it that you call as
a mind a certain combination of memory and intelligence is mind so our whole body's mind yes in yoga we see physical body mental body energetic body etheric body bliss body like this everything is body because it is right across it is not in any one place only intellectual activity is here okay right now because modern societies particularly western societies have become such slaves of their intellect because of that they think everything is here right intellect works only with the data that you have gathered you cannot function beyond your data that means you will remain so
small because even if you've read the libraries on this planet what you know in terms of data is minuscule compared to what this cosmos is with that minuscule you think you're very intelligent because you are analyzing and processing anyway all these people who think they're intellectually very smart are going to feel dumb stupid in the next five years because your phone will be far more smarter than you already people are calling it a smartphone see why would you call somebody or something smart only because it's smarter than you right right yeah yeah otherwise you wouldn't
all right so right now too much dependence on intellect because our education systems are crafted like this not exploring other dimensions of intelligence at all see intellect if i ask you this simple question would you like your intellect to be sharp or blunt just choose quickly i'm going to bless you yes sure so essentially intellect is like a knife if you want to dissect something it's very good yeah so now the only instrument that you have is a knife in your hand you want to stitch your clothes if you stitch your clothes with the knife
what will happen you will be in tatters right this is what is happening to people's lives they are trying to fix everything with their intellect the harder they try the more tattoos they have become with all this education tell me uneducated people are more unhappy or educated people are more unhappy in the world it depends what type of education generally illiterate people in the rest of the world tribes and this and that even in india many many people whenever i visit um i go to guatemala almost every year and i visit small villages and the
kids seem so happy yeah it seems so they didn't go to school like me they don't have much but they have family they have community what do you mean they don't have money i mean they don't have much in terms of military environmentally disastrous that's what you say right exactly yeah they don't have a lot in the material side of things but they have a lot in their hearts richness connection community love and they seem very happy uneducated people or illiterate people are happier than the educated people with education your life should have become better
isn't it unfortunately they're becoming unhappy simply because they only have sharpened their knife and a sharp knife in your hand and you're unconscious you're cutting yourself all the time all the time cutting yourself you don't need any outside help you can stab yourself yes so people come to me and say satguru my boss he's horrible my mother-in-law she's not even human my wife she's such a pain my husband like this i say you come here to the yoga center i'll make sure your boss mother-in-law wife husband nobody enters this place just you i'll give you
a nice place to live good food to eat nothing to do just be happy that's all yeah you must be just joyful i'll make random checks on you if i find you unhappy or miserable then i won't feed you because i don't believe in feeding misery if you remain joyful i will feed you for the rest of your life and take care of you like you're my prized guest but if you show misery we won't feed you well you leave them in one room for 24 hours you will see in how many ways they'll twist
themselves out is unbelievable because when you're alone if you're miserable obviously you're in bad company right i'm with you i'm miserable i think it's because of this guy i'm miserable this guy i'm miserable i'm sitting here alone and miserable now right who who is causing misery how do we get out of that though no essentially one must understand human experience is caused from within not from outside right what we do arrangements we do outside in the form of home family automobile this that these are arrangements to facilitate our activity they are not going to make
you happy or unhappy but right now the car sellers are telling you only this is joy this mo this guy i'm sorry i'm not against any brand i like the brand they say this car is joy i know somebody else says this car is love oh all the best this is power this is yeah power is okay car has power but where is love extruding from the engine or joe executing from the engine all right power all right but right now if you you know this is something i've been noticing it's only in recent times
probably last 10-15 years if you look at any car everybody i look at every advertisement whether they're selling an automobile or a machine or a crane or an earth mover because i'm interested in anything that works not that i'm going to buy them so when i look at it car adds nobody's telling you what's the engine what's the transmission what's the power what's the torque nothing they're talking about the leather they're talking about the wood paneling they're talking about the stereo are you buying you buying a sitting room you want to buy a drawing room
or do you want a car if i want a car i would look at the engine how it is made what does it do no nothing only why is that because they're buying a car for neighbors and we they're not buying a car because they allow to drive a good machine yeah it's always about being better than somebody else why do we obsess over that in general and is that mostly in america do you see that all no no it's everywhere america kind of setting the you know path breaking the standard we're the best at
trying to be the best so this is uh unfortunate cultivation that is happening from kindergarten if you are going to school what your parents will say you must be number one [Music] if you are number one what about all the other 30-40 kids who are there they must be below you they're losers they're losers so your joy is only in other people failing when your joy is about other people's misery that's not joy that is sickness whoo right now whole world is invested in this is not just america america kind of displaces it like that
not that it's not there everywhere in the else in the world everywhere it's there but here it's being shamelessly displayed they are little shy everywhere left of the world but still they got it yeah what would what would the world look like if we chose to lift everyone up and celebrate other people succeeding or or being happy or whatever it looks like for them to succeed what would the world look like see uh i see in america everybody keeps talking about family family family but you've forgotten just us maybe a century ago yeah maybe a
century ago or even 70 years ago or 50 years ago if you said family it meant crime why because the families were running the crime yeah wow of course they always refer to crime as family because family is a crime really let me come to that i know this will get me into trouble see there is only one crime and there's only one evil in the world that is limited identity the how much crime you will commit simply depends on how empowered you are say one more time how much crime you commit simply depends on
how empowered you are how empowered you are yeah so you're gonna be if you are highly empowered and your identity is very limited you will do terrible things so the most important thing is to enhance or to expand one's identity how do we do that see for example traditionally in the yogic culture in india before we start education for a child the first and foremost thing is that he must take a cosmic identity a cosmic identity yes he has to take that what is that what does that look like so if i'm a child yeah
in your teacher so the thing is one thing is there is a mantra which says that that he has to say it again and again he has to look at the sky and say it he looked at the earth and said look at the air and say look at the fire and say all the elements of water and sate because these are all the comp composition of the cosmos you look at empty space and say it you look at water and say it you look at fire and say it you look at the earth and
say it so that you understand your identity is limitless why this is being done wow why this is being done is education is seen as an empowerment you should not empower a person who has a limited identity because he will cause havoc i'll take the worst example which will get me into trouble sure see everybody talks about you're not even supposed to mention this name adolf hitler well many people have been there who caused enormous pain to other human beings but i don't think anybody managed to organize it mechanize it and really deliver it like
a factory of misery like this man did right all right it's a factory yeah literally a factory of misery manufacturing misery properly organized but do you think there aren't thousands or hundreds and thousands of people with the same mindset in the world absolutely they are only thing is they are not empowered like him competence is the only thing that's lacking tyranny is there in people's mind there are as much tyrants as adolf hitler you may find them in a school teacher you may find them in your parents you may find them all around you in
your neighborhood only fortunately they are not as potent at that man that man is super competent that is the problem so right now human competence becomes a terrible problem simply because you have a limited identity so you invest your identity in a family you invest your identity in a community race religion nationality your relationships your tell me in the name of nations in the name of race in the name of religions in the name of communities how much terrible how many terrible things have we done in this world it's still happening today now the most
terrible believe what's happening today just look back in the last 100 years all for someone's identity pride country city state religion all these things how you just take 20th century okay one century past 21st century is just progressing now 20th century ticket in the name of race what all have we done to each other yeah in the name of religion what have we done to each other in the name of nationality what all have we done to each other just look back and see we've literally killed half the world's population in 20th century because of
identity yes of a philosophy of an ideology people have killed all right right so limited identity and empowerment is a disaster but we are continuously cultivating this all the time so i said family is crime because family is the first identity that you take [Music] after that comes community after that comes maybe race or religion or nationality right now nationality is reasonably the largest identity you're taking within this nation it looks nice that you are committed as an american to the well-being of america but just see who is fighting who in this world a good
indian is fighting a good pakistan a good hindu is fighting a good muslim a good american fighting just about anybody because you never fought a war here you go out and fight all over the world all right well you will find reasons as to why you fought that war and the heroic nature of it i know people who lost their lives believing that they're doing the best thing in their life yes but i want you to know that man that you think is horrible that terrorist that miscreant that uh militant or whatever you want to
call him that guy also like a suicide bomber see anybody for every human being or even for an aunt it's life is precious you try to catch him see he'll do everything possible to save his life so somebody to throw away their life like this obviously what they believe in means much more than their life crazy right yeah it's not crazy see if they do it your way you it's heroic if they do it their way it's crazy i'm not trying to support terrorism or something i'm just telling you it's limited identity genocides have been
committed because of limited identity nations have been raised down because of limited identity evil things we have done to each other on individual level simply because of limited identity so this is what yoga means yoga means union that means you consciously obliterated the boundaries of your individual nature and your experience of life expanded once you sit here and you experience everything around you as a part of yourself after that you do not need any morality you do not need any commandments thou shalt not cut the tree thou shalt not kill this man thou shall not
rob this this is meaningless to you when you have experienced something as a part of yourself so the entire system of yoga when i say yoga i mean yoga all right not the yoga that's happening in los angeles around studios but i'm saying we've reduced it too right something just about identity around yes yeah still twisting and turning your body it's good for you you'll become flexible and maybe healthy that's good for you but i want you to understand would you not wish that adolf hitler was a sick man instead of a healthy man i
would not wish that yeah i wish he was a healthy man huh i would wish he was a healthy man he was healthy that's the problem i'm saying you wish he was a sick man yeah would you wouldn't you be happy if you got cancer at 25 and you wouldn't kill all these people who wouldn't set up this factory yeah i wish they would have died so i'm saying health becomes a curse competence becomes a curse individual intelligence becomes a curse why because you have limited identity it's in that context i said family is crime
family is a wonderful place where people are supporting each other like you said is it not important if you create a world where everybody is supporting each other to do their best well that's happening in the family that's the most beautiful aspect of the family but why is it only limited to those four people or five people or whatever what should what should families start to reconsider about their unity their their connection how could they expand it to something greater than just the family of four or six in this home living this way i don't
know if you've heard even political leaders in india for example wherever our prime minister goes to united nations he will say vasudeva come this means the world is my family it's a chant that always he says is the world is our family uh because this has to be inculcated from childhood that your identity is not about a few people who are born around you or people a couple of people who bore you your identity is the air that you breathe is your identity yeah this is your life so if you identify with the air that
you breathe what is it that's not you and what is it that's you everything's you yes if everything is you your intelligence is a boon your competence is a boon your intelligence your competence your capabilities everything is a gift to the world right but if your identity is small all the wonderful things that human being has becomes a curse see right now our intelligence so much science technology we developed but the cutting edge of science and technology always goes into military equipment isn't it first at least many of these things will never come to you
on the street it's always there all right only when every other nation has maybe then it'll come to you sure till then it's just kept there so our intelligence is going into destructive force why limited identity but right now can i just open up the borders of this nation and say i love everybody we are not there we are not it there the world is not in there we cannot do that all right we still need nationality we still need all these things but we can hold it little lightly we don't have to hold it
like it is absolute it is not absolute it's something that we have done our idea of family is our making our idea of community is our making our idea of race religion everything is our making our idea of nationality is our making so don't treat it like it's an absolute what would happen if we opened up every border in every country that would be possible only if there was no economic disparity if there was no economic disparity there were no national boundaries about two centuries ago people could walk wherever they want there were no visas
and passports anywhere because economically reasonably everybody was in the what about race though would people be you know well india india is a classic example if you if you travel from north to south every 50 kilometers people will look different they dress different they talk different and they eat different every every few kilometers you will see people are different and we have no problem that's what that's how it would have been yeah only because you protected yourself for too long now race seems to be one big issue right but the money disparity you think is
the economic disparity which is difficult to handle yeah right now if you take away the boundaries of this country maybe half the world will be right here in the united states and that will not be a solution because you will become poor right okay united states will be poverty ridden if that happens but if you uh totally wall yourself out then also you will become poor in a different way so this has to be first thing is if your identity is little flexible you will do things judiciously as it's necessary for the situation an appropriate
action not our actions are never ever absolute our actions are just about being appropriate to the situations in which we exist yeah if there's some parents watching or listening and they're like wow this is very eye-opening i've never thought of it this way they've always raised their kids a certain way their kids are between this word this is the word that i hear very often in united states we don't hear this in india i was raised this way yeah people say i was raised catholic i was raised jewish i was raised baptist i was raised
this way see you don't raise human beings you only raise cattle a human being is a possibility that needs to be nurtured not raised in a particular way so you are raising people in a certain way because you are already committed to something that you think is absolute wow nothing is absolute life is a possibility will you allow your children to explore that possibility or do you want to make them like concrete blocks that they come out in a particular shape raised in a certain way no this is not the way to handle humanity so
say these parents are hearing this and they want to nurture their children in a different way yes the first thing they must do is but they've been taught something their whole life they can do their prayers as they know it but let them know that it's not absolute they can sing their national anthem with pride wonderful let them know it's not absolute let them also teach them a two lines of global anthem if not cosmic anthem one global anthem which includes every life's well-being every child should sing this in every school a global anthem yes
we need to make a global anthem yeah i'm singing indian anthem with great forward you're singing american anthem what does it mean next moment we get an opportunity we're going to pull out each of those eyeballs right yes yeah not because you're bad or i'm bad because i'm indian and you're american all right it's a global anthem we need a global anthem for sure today technology has many ways made national boundaries meaningless all right people are sitting in india and working in america right now a whole lot of people sitting in india and walking in
america working in america working oh yeah yeah they're getting paid yeah you pick up a phone the indian guys practice american accent and he's speaking from bangalore right right yeah so when national boundaries borders have become so porous it's time to work towards that it's not see tomorrow morning if you open up all the borders there'll be disaster yeah we must know these things we made at certain times for certain conveniences it is not absolute the lines that we have drawn on this planet are not absolute we just made it for certain convenience yeah it's
time to relax it see one great example that's happened in the world is europe they fought as bitterly as they fought world war one world war ii did anybody think germany and france will share open borders hello in 1944 would you believe that no see today they have open borders i don't see this as a a geopolitical whatever in a way it's an evolution of human consciousness itself they might have done it for economic reasons political reasons but still there is human consciousness involved in this because that's not easy after fighting such bitter wars when
that generation is still alive you opened your borders to each other trusted each other it's not a small thing to do yeah we need to make that happen in the world everywhere but for this we need a reasonable level of economic parity otherwise you cannot do it can't do it one of the things i feel very grateful for my childhood my father we didn't have a lot of money growing up to travel to other places outside of ohio but i had seven exchange students from around the world live with us for six months at a
time from brazil and japan and germany and france and philippines nobody came from india no one from india so yeah they were taking you back yes exactly but i felt very fortunate as a five-year-old until i was about 12. having this culture wonderful and and learn the language learn the food learn about their beliefs when you live just in a limited atmosphere you don't know how horribly prejudiced you become you never realize that you think you're doing fine right you become horribly prejudiced i am sure even adolf hitler is thinking he's fine he thinks he's
fine that's why he's doing what he's doing yeah right i'm saying the extreme example right even he thinks he's doing fine right only the wrong thing he did was he lost the war if he had won the war whole world would have said what he's done is fine right please know that it's a horrific thing do you think someone who's doing that feels a sense of guilt no no no like when they're taking another life and they're seeing someone in pain see every nation is taking somebody else's life isn't it every nation yes every nation
is isn't it but i mean an individual one one person see nation means it's individuals who act on the ground right yeah it's an american pilot who drops the bomb it's an american sniper who pulls the trigger all right but he believes he is doing it for the country right so he won't feel any guilt even the terrorist who is right now which we think is absolutely unreasonable and insane that guy thinks he's doing the right thing he's doing god's work not a simple thing he feels great pride in what he's doing so this is
why i'm saying it's a limited identity it is not that somebody is bad somebody is good the moment you have limited identity you are a crime it's just that whether your crime is recognized in the law as a crime or not is a subjective thing but you are a crime right now i sit here my identity is with myself i'm interested in the well-being of this i don't care a damn what happens to this so this is a crime i may not shoot you with a gun but i'm committing a crime because i don't care
what happens to you the moment in some way you forsake your humanity i don't care means i have forsaken my humanity it is a crime will i cause enormous damage or small damage simply depends on how competent i am so competency becomes a curse the more competent you are the more the more you can hurt your harm your intelligence and competencies of being a solution becomes a problem isn't that what is happening in the world today so where does karma fit in around people that are acting to harm or to not support someone else's well-being
or the things around them how does karma feel all your identity is only from your memory isn't it how are you an american you remember that you were born in america yes suppose your memory are you american suppose what is your mentality am i american yeah no so how does your family identity come how do your racial identity come everything is by memory isn't it yeah now karma means this accumulated massive amount of memory now will you stand about that is this is the stage for our life this karmic background is like a platform if
you create enough surface tension in this you can stand on it and do your fresh act today but if your feet sink into it like quick sands then you are just a victim of your memory right now the person that you think is a racist is a victim of his memory right the person that you think is a terrorist is a victim of his memory the person who is a suicide bomber is a victim of his memory because he remembers what has been taught to him all right if he loses his memory he's a fine
guy right yes so right now you don't have to lose your memory where is your memory your memory is in your body and what you call as your mind which is all one right this is hardware that is software sure sure so this software you wrote it unconsciously through various incidents experiences your own perception according to your intelligence you wrote your own kind of software unconsciously it's written by you but unconsciously there have been cases where people have sleep walked and committed a murder even the judiciary thinks that is not worth punishing they don't punish
them even though they committed murder sleepwalking as far as the act is concerned somebody died they lost their life not a small thing but this man was sleeping so that man doesn't get punishment because he was sleep walking all right he could have even killed himself in sleepwalking it's possible right but instead he killed somebody else so essentially you're unconscious so you're not punishable because you're less than a child i'm saying but the important thing is to become conscious where is your memory it's in the body it's in the mind if you create a little
distance between you and your body between you and your mind this is the end of your karma the end of your karma yes the karmic influence i mean to say karma is still there yes karma is the richness of your life okay if you have no karma you will be a bimbo right all right there is karma there's the more rich and vibrant the karma is the better only thing is is it your platform to dance upon or is it a quicksand that sucks you in most human beings right now are only suffering their memory
isn't it yeah this moment they are not suffering what happened yesterday they are suffering what happened 10 days ago they are suffering why what happened 25 years ago they're still suffering when they hold on to the thought the memory see it is not their choice to think about the thought they don't have to they're identified with the situations in which they were now it makes them suffer today we know that a whole lot of diseases that people are suffering are psychosomatic it does not mean they're always thinking about it but it's working the memory is
working depending on how strongly or identified let's say you're strongly identified with your family structure now something happened in your family which is not pleasant something very unpleasant happened let's say now you don't have to everyday think about it slowly your face will become like a lot of people just think because the memory is working from inside you it doesn't even ask you permission it doesn't ask you permission should i come or go it just works on every cell in your body slowly you lose your vibrancy what was a vibrant exuberant person slowly becomes like
this has happened to more than 75 of the population right when they were five six years of age how joyful and exuberant lives they were by the time they're 30 they're like this what is their problem what is their problem is somebody poking them no because their karma is overtaking them so the entire process of this book is step by step way of standing above your karma on the richness of your memory because you can convert this memory into manure and you can blossom upon that because what happened yesterday you cannot change what is happening
today you can only experience what is tomorrow you have to create when you have i mean you've you've experienced some bad things in the past right some harmful things some challenges pain you've you've felt these things right in the past people people try to do lots of bad things and they're still doing lots of them every day a whole bunch of people abuse me people that i've never met they have enormous hatred for me because you know like today what i've said a whole lot of people will hit me for this do you know yeah
because their identities are shaken they have created false sense of identity upon which they are standing shaking they know if this is gone they have nothing to live for they need to understand there is a life beyond identities identities are created for purpose of action in a given situation it is none of our identity identities are absolute see first of all we need to understand before you and me came here countless number of people walked this planet where are they all topsoil part of the manure in this garden yes or no yes you and me
what will we be in 100 years time same thing same thing unless your friends fear you may raise from the dead and bury you real deep but no roots can get to you i'm saying so we are just a small pop-up in time but we are thinking too much of ourselves yeah because we are we attached too much self-significance to ourselves because of that our identities have risen beyond absurd limitations can identities be good at all can having an identity because identity you cannot function in the world right now this is me that's you if
this identity is not there if you ask me a question i look like this what's the point of that no activity is possible without identity the important thing is to it's like wearing your clothes right now these are my clothes see i wear loose clothes yeah so that always you're aware this is my clothing this is not me suppose i wear skin tight nylon clothes after some time i don't know which is my clothing which is my skin so that's all the thing is do you have a space between you and what you have created
or are you stuck with it that's the important thing if you're stuck with it you will do crazy things thinking you're doing good things if you're held on to the identity if you're attached to it it will wrap you up once you create it and leave it it will just wrap you up unless you're conscious sure so if you can see this is the entire inner engineering process we are offering is just this if you do this practice which we call a shambhavi if you sit here your body is here your mind is out there
what is you is elsewhere once there is a little space between you and your body between you and your mind this is it one thing is there's no suffering within you anymore because suffering happens only two ways physical suffering mental suffering do you know any other kind of suffering once there is once there is a little distance this is the end of suffering and above all this is the end of all identity and how do you distance the suffering you don't distance the suffering you distance yourself from your own body and your mind this is
what the practice is about how to distance means this see right now there are life energies see when you were a five-year-old child how much were you identified with your body i'm trying to remember a five-year-old child um how much do i identify as my body i think i was probably exploring my body trying to not at five you were not exploring anybody my body i think i was like running and jumping and i was like because every day it's changing you can't even identify right right right yes your identity with the body got strengthened
when you become an adolescent okay that is when when hormones started poisoning your mind when your hormones hijacked your intelligence suddenly you lost your sense of who you are yeah otherwise you as a life were far more exuberant than your body can ever be yes or no yes when a child laughs when a child jumps when child does these things i'm still like this i'm saying you will see body is just a thing to use yeah he's not that just that's not the prime thing the same was true with your intellect and your mind also
isn't it when you were a child so now you're curious you're exploring you're yes because it was changing and growing you're questioning everything you you real you you not that you consciously realize but you know this is not it because your exuberance is beyond that if you keep your exuberance of life like that today very clearly you know what is you what is your body what is your mind when i say what is you let us not give a definition to that but your body we can define it's a different physical form so we can
define this how did this happen just the food that you've eaten isn't it it's a heap of food right what you call as my mind is a heap of impressions what you gather whatever you gather can be yours but can never ever be you isn't it what you gather right now this cup it's yours but it's not you yes your thoughts are yours but they're not you they're not you because yesterday you had one kind of thought today you have another tomorrow you may have different thoughts does the collection of your thoughts make up you
no what makes up you why are you asking me [Laughter] see this is the problem you want to get life into a definition you can only define that which has distinct physical boundaries anything which doesn't have a physical boundary you cannot define that isn't it it's boundless don't go there that is also a definition because that's just a word okay all right all right boundless is a good word but still it is just a word people think boundless means oh maybe like that boundary means like this no no that is also a boundary isn't it
sure yeah when you are a child uh maybe this house compound was your world today your world might have expanded but still it's a boundary right larger boundary but still it's a boundary but there is something naturally within every human being that the moment you realize you're restricted by a boundary you want to go beyond that whoever you are right now yeah you want to be something more don't touch this okay i want to touch it no no i'm not talking about that see whoever you are right now you want to be something more yeah
if that's something more happens tomorrow you want to be something more isn't it why is that that's what i'm saying this is an innate longing within the human being because there is something within you which is not physical in nature it doesn't like boundaries till you experience that you will think you by shopping you will expand your boundaries by ambition you will expand your boundaries by conquest you will expand your boundaries see always a human being is seeing how to be something more if it finds a very basic physical expression we call this sexuality what
sexuality means is something that is not you you're trying to experience is it a part of yourself it works for a few moments then anyway two people are separate if it happens mentally it is called ambition conquest or simply shopping different people do it different ways if it happens on an emotional level we call it love what love means is somebody who is not you you want to experience them as a part of yourself but if you do it consciously we call it yoga that if you do it successfully it's called yoga yoga does not
mean twisting and turning yoga means union that means you consciously obliterated the boundaries of your individual individuality so that you experience the union with everything this is not an idea this is not a philosophy this is the nature of the existence most people get it only when you bury them unfortunately really when you bury them they understand they're part of the earth right right that also they won't understand because they today they're burying them in a concrete box right creating a boundary around you yes that's the worst thing to do at least when you die
you should become part of the earth right why is it so hard for people to feel that type of love that unity love the conscious love in a relationship an intimate relationship see this is because they are interested in the fruit not in the root the fruit not the root yes what's the root say right now you want to experience love so what will we do like people are going about chanting this mantra i love you you love me you love me i love you throughout the day because you know if you don't say it
for two days it may go away love does not happen because you say it love does not happen because you're attracted to somebody yes you may feel it at certain moments when you like something you may also begin to love it all right essentially love means sweetness of your emotion sweetness of your emotions yes when you have very sweet emotions that's called love isn't it if i have nasty emotions that's called hate that's called whatever so sweetness of your emotion why is it that you have tied it to something that you like to eat i
love ice cream i love this man or woman i love this i love that i love car i love food i love chevy you know people are talking everywhere all right so or i love god that's the safest thing to do because you can always claim god loves you but if you claim this person loves me tomorrow the guy when it goes away you can't say anything but this is a safe thing to do all right people have found various ways i am not saying there's anything wrong with that it's okay you use whatever means
you want to feel the sweetness of your emotion but you must understand it's the sweetness of your emotion i am asking you what happens within you why is it determined by somebody else what happens within you if it's determined by somebody else this is the worst form of slavery isn't it when love is determined by someone else not only love your happiness your joy your peacefulness your love anything that happens within you when your inner experience is determined by something or somebody that is the worst form of slavery yeah but we are a free country
[Laughter] so when people are in a relationship and there seems to be a wave of joy and love and acceptance and then other days maybe it's anger or resentment or frustration how do we how do we move out of that and more into acceptance and conscious love as opposed to control or manipulation or will you need to do this to make me happy how do we expand beyond that see first of all you must decide is your life in pursuit of happiness or is it an expression of joy is it in the pursuit of happiness
or expression of joy tell me in your life when you're expressing your joy was that the best moment or when you're pursuing happiness what the best moment the joy yes so why is it that you have not done that because you still believe there is joy in this tree and you can squeeze it out there is joy in this man or woman that you can squeeze it out you bring them and then you expect relation to be great it will not be you bringing them out so that juice of joy will come to you or
love will come to you no love is not something that you do love is something that you can become it's your quality if your mind is in a certain way it's joyful if your emotions are in a certain way it's loving this is the quality of sweetness of body if your body becomes sweet and pleasant it's called health and pleasure if your mind becomes very pleasant it's called peacefulness and joyfulness if your emotions become pleasant it's called love and compassion if you're very life energy becomes pleasant it is called blissfulness and ecstasy only if your
surroundings become pleasant it's called success only to achieve success you need competence you need cooperation you need help from other people all right because without all of them cooperating there will be no success right now these guys uh must cooperate otherwise this shoot is not going to care yeah all right but even if these guys don't shoot well we can still be joyful they cannot stop us no we cannot we can be joyful yeah yes they cannot stop us but for the shoot to go value they need to cooperate if they don't cooperate the situation
will not go well for the success of this situation you need the cooperation of all these people but for my body for my mind for my emotion and my energies to feel pleasant i don't need anybody's cooperation this is 100 my business so right now to experience love within you you're asking somebody to be in a certain way oh all the best you're going to have a trip [Laughter] is that why you think uh most marriages get go through divorce because it's more of needing the other person to support you and feeling a certain way
see suppose you cannot walk without a crutch crunch without a crutch you cannot walk right then next moment you go to go and say to somebody some pretty woman i cannot live without you between the crutch and her what is the difference i'm asking one is a physical crutch another emotional and psychological scratch isn't it yeah so essentially you have crippled yourself oh this life is a complete life by itself if this is a complete life it's joyful loving wonderful by its own nature now when it's feeling so wonderful it may want to share this
wonderfulness with people around you can share with this with thousands of people but you also want a more intimate sharing to happen for that you need one person so if it's about you expressing your joy and love to somebody and you find that person you think that person is going to run away from you well no you want to squeeze them for love and joy initially they drip afterwards sometimes they're dry yeah you squeeze them too much for the people watching or listening who might be saying you know what i've struggled in my relationships i
i don't have financial abundance i'm struggling financially i'm out of shape struggling in my my health and wellness and they're wondering how they can use karma in a sense to support them to create more abundance financial abundance spiritual abundance relationship abundance health and well-being or maybe they've been thinking well maybe uh karma's been against me and that that way of thinking how can they start to think differently to to apply these principles you're setting up all the wrong goals what should the goals be simply this see right now if you instead of philosophizing reading scriptures
reading self-help books all this just pay attention to the trees around here what are they doing being be no no no no they have no capability to be they're not called beings only you call being human being you are they are not that's just a tree it's a wonderful tree what is it doing beneath the ground it's fighting all right what is it fighting for is this maple tree trying to produce apples no no it is just trying to be the best possible maple tree it can be it is not trying to produce apples definitely
i don't see any coconuts up there all right right this is all as a human being you must see how this life can blossom into its fullest if it blossom to its fullest somebody may become rich with money for somebody may become intelligent somebody may become knowledgeable somebody may become loving somebody may become an artist somebody may just wonder but a fully blossomed human being is a joy to see no matter what the hell they're doing or what they're not doing whichever way they're an asset to whole humanity instead of doing that you want for
example you said abundance in uh economic terms what is your idea of abundance in economic terms jeff bezos is it me personally that's not it but you mean having enough to be able to do what you want not feeling like you're a slave to paying your bills i'm not insulting anybody i'm just saying right now everybody's saying is the richest man in the world or whatever so what is your idea of abundance 200 billion dollars of personal wealth i'm asking are you up to it 200 billion for me yeah yeah why not uh that's not
my definition of abundance but that is what is it um probably i mean probably over i guess it depends on what age i am 10 years old is like a hundred thousand dollars i'm rich you know uh am i present i mean i feel pretty abundant financially but i mean if they're you're asking for a specific number no no i'm asking for a number not because i want to find out your number yeah i'm asking because these numbers are bloody meaningless they're all socially relevant not relevant to you and anyway talking about karma right now
let's say you are the guy who has 200 billion dollars yes it's only in your memory if it is your memory your money is gone hello yeah it's gone isn't it well it's in your bank account it is in the account but if you if you forgotten what yeah if you've forgotten the code or you've gotten the access there's a whole lot of people buried there treasured all over the bloody world and somebody else found it thousand years later that's true a lot of people have lost all their bitcoin and they can't get access to
it yeah yeah so all these issues are there but the important thing is why do you want affluence let me put the word abundance as affluence okay an individual person wants affluence a society wants affluence a nation wants affluence everybody is striving for that why because initially it means a choice of nourishment a choice of nourishment yes if you have money you can eat what you want initially that's the goal yes if it goes beyond that after you eat everything you want to eat next thing is a choice of lifestyle yes now for example united
states of america has the highest choice of nourishment choices highest level of nourishment choices highest level of lifestyle choices all right but you're spending 3.25 trillion on healthcare right oh wonderful that's big that is larger than india's economy really for 1.4 billion people we don't have a three point three and a quarter trillion dollar economy all right so what is the abundance you're seeking you you want to destroy the planet that's what you're saying i'm not saying for me i'm saying for people watching again no no i'm saying this the thing that you're thinking is
because you're in california your idea of abundance is here if you are in timbuktu right your idea of abundance would be this all right of course so i'm saying do not think in terms of abundance think in terms of a fulfillment of life if you are a fulfilled life according to your competence according to your capability according to the times in which you live you will do the appropriate thing right now in the in pursuit of abundance people are doing vulgar things two people are living in a 50 bedroom house what's the point of this
right you can you sleep in 50 different places no yeah you can have everything that you can use well but the important thing is are you making arrangements of home automobile this that everything as a means to act in the world or as a means to enhance yourself this you must decide this why i said the car advertisements are all talking about the leather about the paneling about this why because this is a way of enhancing yourself your car is little shinier than your neighbor's car and you are supposed to be better i am saying
nothing makes you better all right nothing makes you better the only thing is everything that you can be within yourself are you or are you not that's all in our lives if we do not do what we cannot do there is no issue if we do not do what we can do we are a disaster so i am saying at least are you as joyful as you were when you were five years of age at 35 40 if you are not as joyful and as exuberant as a five-year-old boy or girl that you were obviously
you're a disaster because you're not even square one that was square one of your life when nothing was in your control all right you're not even in square one you sunk deeper that's a disastrous life so we shouldn't be thinking abundance and finance or this no those things will happen according to times isn't it yeah see if you and me were here 10 000 years ago i would definitely find an indian cave because there are many i don't know if you would have found one ohio has cases yes it does yeah you wouldn't have come
to california you would have found a big cave in ohio i've gone to neighboring state of kentucky and found a really massive cave out there all right i've been visiting all these caves yeah so uh trying to find some water what would be your idea of abundance at that time i'm asking yeah so i'm saying so not think of abundance because the moment you thought like that that is what destroyed this planet massively and now you are saying you want to be eco-friendly by driving an electric car no no it is because fundamentally wrong thinking
has come life has become about something else something else around you enhances you no the only way to enhance yourself is to bring this to its full blossoming of what it can be at its fullest best what it can be what i am at my fullest am i better than you no i'm just different this tree is it better than that tree no this is one way that's another way and that's why the world is so beautiful if there was one more guy just like you in your house could you live there no no if
there were seven billion people just like you could you live in this world you would commit suicide believe me so how does someone know what their full potential is of who they can truly be see if you don't fix yourself with limited identities if you do not compare yourself with anything if you explore and not see if you want this tree to grow to its fullest thing that's why i said not the fruit root if you count the fruits maybe that tree is bearing more fruit than this one that's not the point you nurture the
root the fullest possible nurture if you give to the root what it has to become it will become a blade of grass cannot become a tree but is it not wonderful yeah is it not wonderful you may step on it yes but is it not wonderful yeah you mostly have the garden for grass not for trees actually right so how do we nurture our our inner roots and not focus on the fruit see as there is a science and technology to create the situations that we want in external situations there is a whole science and
technology to create inner situations the way we want if you want to be nurtured the first and foremost thing is just look back and see has there been 124 hours in your life or many people that you know in your life 124 hours that they passed without anxiety without fear without being agitated nothing simply at least 24 hours 24 hours if you come to ease believe me your ability to use your mind and body may go up 100 yeah in 24 hours just ease this does not come to people they are not even at ease
people ask me sadhguru how are you like this i say i'm like i'm talking to a crowd of hundred thousand the way i would talk to somebody they came and asked me something i'm in the bathroom i have to peep out of that and speak just like that i'm speaking to 100 000 people on stage with the same ease and with the same not being concerned about what somebody thinks about me what happens that's not the point what i see is truth i speak you like it you don't like it you realize it you don't
realize it that's left to you but you will get it someday if you if you heard the words not today maybe on your death but you will get it but that's a wasted time if you get it today it would be wonderful today if you understood sitting here this body is just a piece of the planet that i picked up this is not really me it's for me to use it right now it's wonderful okay this human body is the finest mechanism on the planet it's given to me as a gift i must keep it
well but it's not me it's something that i picked it up from the planet if i understand this now i will live a very sensible life if you get it from the maggots what to do some realization happened at least for the maggots yeah it's good yeah do you have any personal fears what do you mean by that do you have any fears of anything in your life are you afraid do you remember the last time you had fear how old were you i know fear only from other people's experiences see it's not about whether
i have fear or not i made myself like this only what i want happens within me what i want may not always happen around me but within me only what i want happens because this is my space it must happen my way why should it happen your way or somebody else's way the same goes for you isn't it yeah what is within you must happen hundred percent your way no other way when you see chaos around you in whatever way that might be seeing it all the time how does your what's your initial response inside
to whatever someone screaming at you or something unjust or some pain happening around you or whether it's attacking you or not how do you internally respond or what do you say or what's your come from in that moment to stay grounded to say peaceful joyful in a moment of pain i will act as it's needed that's all yeah i will not do anything other than that if it needs action i'll perform that action if it's not necessary i'll walk away from that it depends what kind of situation it is yeah and i'm facing such things
all the time all the time yeah don't think i'm always celebrated there are millions of people who celebrate me as a very in a very fond manner that i am very dear to them though they have not seen me there are also quite a number of people who simply hate me endemic hatred towards me though they have not seen me simply because they're all invested in something if you something whatever it is they call it nationality they call it religion they call it caste creed race whatever the moment you say something that threatens that identity
they will hate you what is hate saying about the person who is hating something it empowers him it empowers them yes hate is far more empowering in terms of propelling you into action than love when people are loving they hesitate they hesitate but when they hate somebody they go all out what does the hate do to someone who's creating the hate a little acid but you know california acid is popular right and do you have any big dreams do you think about your dreams in the future or is it more just you're here in this
moment you're here to show up the most joyful way you can no see this whole thing about being in the moment is just a mixed up idea see what this means is right now the way it is understood in in this part of the world the way it's understood is being in the moment means don't think about the past don't think about the future essentially they're saying do not use your cerebral capability a human being is endowed with a phenomenal cerebral capability which no other creature on this planet has in that department we are number
one on the planet isn't it yeah so right now because people do not know how to use it and they are torturing themselves with their several capabilities they're poking themselves with their sharp intellect because of that somebody is saying don't think about the past don't think about the future just be in this moment if you're drinking water just drink water if you're talking just talk don't do anything see if this is just saying why don't you become an amoeba once again an amiba also has a brain small brain no problems amiba need not pray amiba
need not meditate amigo need not think how to be peaceful very peaceful and fine all right so even now for the human beings if you remove half their brain they will all be peaceful essentially their problem is they don't know how to handle their own intelligence so either you come up with philosophies like this or you soak your brains half in alcohol or drug it right do something eat too much so that it won't work all you're trying to do is somehow dull the brain i'm saying this evolutionary process took millions of years to give
you this cerebral capability and now you don't know how to handle it how sad is that that's a miserable thing that you're doing because no other creature has the cerebral capability that human being has so essentially we are thinking intelligence is a curse i told you already it's a curse if you have limited identity intelligence is a curse not just for you for everybody around you see somebody who is very sharp but evil thoughts and they're doing things you wish she was brainless yes so this is simply because of this you don't know how to
handle your intelligence for well-being in you tell me in your experience is intelligence a solution or a problem it depends on how it's being used no no that's not the point is intelligence a solution or a problem essentially i feel like it's a solution it is an absolute solution but people are making a problem out of a solution right right now people are making a huge problem out of a solution you think we evolve like this to create problems we want like this to sort out everything right that other creatures cannot start out right isn't
it right but we are not able to sort out anything simply because we're crippling ourselves with this kind of things so the most important thing is you have an intelligence for you don't have a stable enough platform that is a fundamental problem if you do not create a stable chemistry stable energy system stable physical body your intelligence is the worst curse you have right the sharper it is the more you will hurt yourself so this is your inability to handle it for this there are various reasons because people are being raised like cattle all right
not nurtured not nurtured i don't say everybody but unfortunately that's a majority right we've got many more questions but i want to finish with two final questions uh before two is not considered final only when you come to one you say it's final two additional questions uh before i ask those questions uh very grateful for your time thank you for for showing up the way you do and for educating an uneducated human being on all these things i appreciate it you're grabbing the title from it this book is really inspiring uh you shared some of
these things that we talked about today that are in the book in the first chapter i read a lot of these concepts i heard here i know there's a lot more to go into so make sure you guys get the book very inspiring i recommend you get three to five copies give them to friends if you want your friends to also have expanded identities and not be limited in that thinking so get karma a yogi's guide to crafting your destiny extremely inspiring also check out innerengineering.com for more lots of courses books programs everything there i'm
gonna have to come to tennessee someday i should come and check it out so i want to go there don't come there to check it out it's already well checked out by me come here express my joy make use of it i will use it i will use it checking out i've done all the checking out and saw that it's all working yeah it's all working uh well i want to acknowledge you before i ask these two final questions or two additional questions i want to acknowledge you for being in a journey with all of
us i think the fact that you have learned so much and you want to show up every day and teach and you want to show up and create content and offer solutions through whatever means necessary whether it's books courses videos tick tock things you're not even a part of that you're aware that are impacting the world i'm just appreciative and acknowledge you're showing up no all this effort is to uh because i want to live in a a joyful loving exuberant world yeah so i'm just trying to set the atmosphere for myself of course yeah
all right so this is not a service this is not a mission this is just a simple like a dog comes if it wants to sit down rearranges the rug and sits down you know yeah i'm just trying to rearrange humanity so that i can live among joyful exuberant loving human beings don't you want to absolutely yes amen so as a part of this we are working towards creating a conscious planet uh louis you must be part of that in some way i'm trying to put together all the influences in the world to come together
own this process and create a conscious world because that's the only thing that's lacking never before in the history of humanity any generation had these kind of conveniences these kind of comforts these kind of wonderful things that we have today never before human survival was better organized than it is today if we don't do it now when many great beings have come on this planet but when they spoke hardly 10 people could hear that's true today we can sit here and talk to the entire world when we have this if we do not transform the
world into a more loving joyful exuberant humanity it simply means we don't care i don't want to go as that yeah it's beautiful it's a beautiful way of being uh this question i asked you last time but you didn't really answer it so i'm gonna ask it again yeah it's okay this is called the three truths and maybe you don't have an answer and that's fun it's called the three truths it's a hypothetical question so i'd like you to imagine you get to live as long as you want to live in this physical body on
this earth but then one day you gotta go and you gotta take all your work with you all your content a hypothetical it's a hypothetical you don't you don't you're not going to take it but it has to go somewhere no one has access to it anymore so it's got to go somewhere else but we don't have access to your information your content your books all of it's gone for whatever reason i've already taken care of it's a hypothetical right so imagine that you only get to share three final things that we would we would
have three final lessons that this is all we would have to remember you by your information i call three truths what would you be what would be your three truths for the world oh only three maybe that's why you didn't answer last time but everybody just shut up look and listen yeah really look wow right now people are not looking if they look they are making their conclusions based on their identities ah they're not hearing anything yeah they're making their conclusions just shut up look and listen life is all there yeah that's one that's all
that's three step is one shut up as well look and listen three i love it if you do this everything that i'm speaking will be naturally yours yeah this all i did i just shut up looked at everything absolutely investing my whole life energy in my look and investing my whole life energy in listening and that's all i know yeah and you whatever i know you will know if you just learn to look and listen but first you must shut up set up means final question now now this is my final question what's your definition
of greatness what is my definition of definition of greatness if it can be defined it's not great enough for me as i said definition means it has clear boundaries well if you can be here without any sense of boundary that's greatness there you go thank you so much sargera appreciate it thank you thank you thank you thank you it's a pleasure talking pleasure i hope you enjoyed this interview with saad guru every time i get to hang out with him i'm always inspired by his wisdom and his knowledge and how we can apply this wisdom
in our life and i actually interviewed him before recently and i want to share with you this interview as well and i would love for you to leave a comment below and let me know your thoughts on the biggest takeaway from this first part of the interview and this second interview also so leave a comment below on which part you enjoyed the most and the biggest value got here we go adults as you know get caught up in a lot of things that aren't their true nature and why is that why is that do you
think that we forget how to play and think like a child when we grow up see uh people have forgotten that in this vast cosmos where we don't know where is the beginning where is the end in the middle of nowhere on a tiny little mud ball called earth you and me are sitting long distance in talking right now okay so and for the kind of creatures we are we are not even a speck of dust in this universe but we have an individual experience this is the magnanimity of creation that it's given as an
individual experience though we are nothing tomorrow if the whole humanity evaporates nobody will message in this cosmos that's how small we are but we have an individual experience so this individual experience human beings have taken it rather too seriously as if they are the beginning and end of the of the world yeah yes they thought they are the center of the universe so this misunderstanding makes them believe as they grow up or as they degenerate i would say they don't really grow up because at the age of five if you're so joyful and energetic by
the time you're 30 you should be ecstatic and bursting but if the reverse has happened this is degeneration of life so this degeneration happens because people take their individual existence rather too seriously they don't understand before you and me came here countless number of people who thought they were smart and they were strong and they were beautiful and they were wonderful they're all topsoil now countless number of people and you and me also will be one day unless our friends to our friends choose to bury us really deep fearing that we may raise from the
dead or something so we have taken our individual existence too seriously because of this life has taken a back seat our physical structure has taken front seat our psychological structures have you know gone to the stratosphere but the life that we are is somewhere which is not even in most people's experience so this is the whole problem when you were a child you were just a piece of life slowly you took your personality so seriously you took your boundaries of your form so seriously that you think this is it so till death knocks on their
door they don't realize that this is not it and and you know i've i've learned that in some cultures they focus on death multiple times a day to bring them back to that moment of this is the only time we have make the most of this moment don't take things too seriously do you focus on death a lot throughout your days or is that not something you think about i live death all the time you're on a motorcycle not just that motorcycle i live yeah just now if you do not know this i just released
a book on death really do you know this yeah it's a bestseller in india right now wow so is it here in the usa yet i got to get a copy we will send you a copy but it's not released in usa it's only released in by penguin india because usa we're releasing another book so this has been stalled in us we're releasing a book on karma it's perfect i did both so the book is about it is only for those who shall die that's how it is titled death a book for only those who
shall die because most people think other people die they don't realize we die right they do not see death essentially means it reminds us that we have a limited amount of time and energy to live nobody has unlimited time or unlimited energy if one is constantly conscious of this definitely they will organize their life and they'll prioritize their life in much better way than the way they're doing it right now this is a fundamental death it does not mean something else not some terrible thing death simply means it is clearly reminding you you have a
limited lease of time and energy that means you need to organize your time and energy to what is most valuable for you not do one more thing that is not necessary for yourself or anybody around you and because people think they are forever they are in some restlessness all the time i think they just put up a poem which i wrote three four days ago it's called life the most restless ones rest so well when life is taken out of them as if the only curse was life what does that mean to rest so well
you mean sleep so well or live so well that you feel restless oh even in sleep they're rolling all over the place huh they're not sleeping well no no they need to either drink or pop a pill to sleep most of them so how do we get to a restful place is it is it more about our thoughts is it more about our our heart our soul our karma our our physical body what's the place to start for rest see right now people generally people's understanding is rest means sleep wakefulness means something is happening no
you have to make your wakefulness also restful it is just like if you if you have an automobile who is running at a very high rpm all the time it will naturally wear itself out so it's important that you run cool so if you are running running at an easy pace your efficiency will go up your ability to do things will go up your competence will go up in everything above all the number of hours that you sleep will go down dramatically say uh for most people who are practicing in engineering practices their pulse rate
is somewhere between 45 to 65. really many of them yes yes many of them below 45 between 35 to 45 also in sitting states in restful states so once your system is going at such an ease then the need for rest will come down there was a time not anymore i'm i'm becoming little old and lazy these days so there was a time three days and three nights if i don't sleep i will still be perfectly normal still doing all my activity whole night i will drive next day whole day i will teach whole night
i will drive and again i will teach like this uh these days i can do one night next day i will need to rest a little bit right right you take naps throughout the day now yeah no no no no no for almost 25 years more than 25 years my average sleep time was only two and a half hours wow today i am sleeping between three and a half to four and a half hours you're getting lazy are you getting lazy [Laughter] wow yeah i think i did a five mile run yesterday and my average
heart rate was over 165 so i wonder if i can i wonder if i can do now i'm pushing it pretty hard on my run so i wonder is there a way to work out hard and keep the heart rate lower than normal still even while you're pushing and pumping so much blood uh the important thing is see how use easily oxygen and nutrients are distributed to the cellular level that will determine see this is not been generally they are not thinking on these lines they are always thinking about increasing the lung capacity yes that
is also important but the important thing is with how much is the nutrients and oxygen get to the cellular level accordingly your pulmonary system will function but it's not only about the heart rate even at the cellular level with how much uh stress or how much ease it's going this can be determined we have what is called as a cobra test for people would you like to go through cobra test uh you'd be getting bit by a cobra no no no if it doesn't bite you then it proves something see most of the venomous creatures
are like this particularly cobras in the wild if you just go and pick up a cobra like that he will simply come not holding his head or anything simply in the middle of the body simply he will come effortlessly in your hands without any reaction because he is only sensing your chemistry if you show little anxiety if you show even a little bit of anxiety he will go for you if you don't show any he is very comfortable with you because he senses everything his safety and his danger only by the chemistry of your body
so this is a cobra test people say i claim they are very meditative we say okay let's do the cobra test that's do you do that test with people [Laughter] we can take you out 165. i love your uh i'm really enjoying your inner engineering course right now i've been going through it and i'm really enjoying it okay you have a quote i think i'm going to get the quote correct i believe i wrote it down where you said only what you perceive you know the rest is imagination and you were talking about that in
the context of what we learn in school you were giving this example of you know we only really have fifty percent of our time available because the other fifty percent is with our faculties and with sleep and for many years we learn things the content that we only use one percent is what i remember you saying what do you mean by this only what you perceive you know the rest is imagination see uh perception happens to you in five different dimensions seeing hearing smelling tasting touching this is how you're perceiving life this data data has
gathered within you only because this data has gathered within you now you're able to walk on a round planet which spins it's not a small thing it is not a small thing that you are able to walk on a spinning round ball because all this data has gathered through five senses it is not intellectual information but it is a perceptional information if this information is not there you won't be able to walk actually you will not be able to walk straight this is what is happening for people when some people lose their memory and things
like that suddenly they become unstable in their body because some of the data is gotten disconnected with their system so this data that you perceive is most important that's what a child is all the time drinking up everything you see how the child is looking at everything because he wants to drink up as much data as possible because instinctively he knows without the data he will not be able to function so how attentive you are how attentive your eyes are how attentive your ears nose tongue and touch is accordingly you have that much you know
that much uh usable information so why one person is more efficient well you are an athlete why one person is able to catch a damn ball another person can't catch the damn thing why is it because that level of attention of exactly how that ball will behave how you can anticipate where it will go this is not there intellectually suppose you have a phd in football you think you can play football uh if you have a phd i no i think you need to experience it as well if you just study it only yeah no
that is that is not experience it's perception you are you're watching it out of your keen interest you're watching exactly how a ball moves you may not be thinking the physics of it but you're watching it and perceiving it because of that perception you know something that you cannot know by reading 100 books about it that's true you've got to experience life of course that's the only reason we are here to experience life as profoundly as possible absolutely what do you think is is missing in the world the most right now especially here in america
there's a lot of you know we have corona and then people feel like they're suffering they're angry they're uh they feel unjust with a lot of different things that are happening what is missing in the world see talking about those situations in america america has uh an unfortunately very cruel history whether whether it concerns the native americans or the african americans today there's a very cruel history by trying to put it under the carpet it'll keep popping up we have to come to terms with it everybody has to come to terms with it some remorse
some settlement must happen i think that expression of remorse has not happened so it keeps popping up well this one policeman's inhuman act is not the real thing the real thing is it's there in the air because whatever has happened in the past certain number of people have resentment about it uh and another set of people somewhere maybe not exactly for me maybe it may be wrong for me to say this but somewhere they think that's a natural natural order of life that's how it was supposed to be somebody had to die somebody has to
be a slave that is how it is supposed to be that must go we must understand historically every one of us have made mistakes we must bow down to our own mistakes and say we are sorry for this let's see how to create a new nation a new world this much sincerity and humility should come in every human being otherwise one set of people are resentful another set of people think they deserve it then how will this go yeah do you feel talking about mistakes of the past i've made a lot of mistakes in my
past personally in just different different ways from my business to relationships to family dynamics a lot of different things and i'm constantly trying to learn to be better every day do you feel like you've made a lot of mistakes in the past that maybe you regret or you think to yourself oh that was pretty that was pretty stupid of me to do um or have you always been this enlightened [Laughter] uh i don't know i never looked at life as a series of mistakes learning from that i don't look at life like that well have
you done made some dumb decisions here and there of course but uh i wouldn't see them as mistakes i just see them as part of growing up and becoming more mature because enlightenment is one thing you see things clearly but still operating in the world you need wisdom wisdom you have to earn it with experience there is simply no other way for that so you must stumble and fall and learn and grow and and just go through life not necessarily i would not say it is necessarily so because today it has become fashionable with all
these management gurus and all saying you must learn from your mistakes you must learn from mistakes that means you must keep on doing mistakes i don't believe that you must learn from your mistakes i would rather live a life where i don't do any mistakes because life is so brief you do a bunch of mistakes and then you will learn and where will you use it in the grave so a yeah yes of course that is what being human means that we can learn from other people's experience from history we can learn we don't have
to do all those things once again and especially you are from the aviation state if you are trying aviation or if you're trying skydiving or something if you don't do things right the first time well that'll be the last time [Laughter] people talk about uh suffering a lot and i know you address this in your training in your course and a lot of your social media content and you get interviewed on this a lot when i went to india to study meditation for my brief time on my beginner mind of meditation i was told that
suffering is the obsessive self-centric thinking that we have about ourselves the obsessive self-centric thinking and when we focus on ourselves then we suffer i don't know how accurate that is in your in your mind or your or in your practice and philosophy but what what is suffering and why do we have it so much so yeah there are two faculties in a human being which are unique to human beings only no other creatures have these faculties this is a very vivid sense of memory and a fantastic sense of imagination so what is it that human
beings are suffering just check out with any suffering human being they are suffering what happened five years ago ten years ago or they are suffering what may happen day after tomorrow already so essentially they are suffering their memory and their imagination rarely they are in life they are just suffering these two fantastic faculties which make us human our life is rich only because our memory is so vivid otherwise we would also be like an earthworm essentially what they're complaining is they're complaining why did nature evolve was into this fantastic place of being human being we
would have been happy being earthworms because our only intention is to be eco-friendly right now [Laughter] earthworms are very eco-friendly they are very peaceful but the possibility is only that much with the possibility human being is a tremendous possibility if you do not know how to harness this possible possibility every possibility will become a problem that's all that's happened if you do not harness your faculties the way you should then it becomes a problem how come this has happened to us well uh your name sounds french i don't know and you went to pondicherry you
french background uh not that i'm aware of i don't think so english and welsh and italian okay but your name sounds french louis howes yeah i'm not sure okay but you went to pondicherry which is a french place yes i did yes anyway uh now that you said english anyway an englishman called charles darwin you heard of that guy of course you have no problem with him in ohio because we come from tennis we're in tennessee that's why i'm telling you [Laughter] so charles darwin said something like this i'm simplifying it oversimplifying it but something
like this a goat could have become a giraffe over a million year time a pig could have become an elephant over many more million years but a monkey became a man rather too quickly so quickly that anthropologists are looking for a missing link which they have not found actual difference the dna difference between a chimpanzee and a human being is only one point two three percent one point two three percent is not too much of a difference isn't it so physiologically physiologically that's how close we are to a chimpanzee but in terms of our intelligence
and awareness we are worlds apart from the chimpanzees so right now what human beings are suffering is their own intelligence you remove half their brain they will be very peaceful no meditation will be needed for them they will simplicity just be because that's what the whole american spirituality is just talking about just be just be if you remove half the brain you'll just be that's what a whole lot of people are trying to do by soaking their brains in alcohol maybe they're preserving it for some other place or drugging themselves out they're just being all
right that is not the way to explore human possibility if human possibility has to be explored all our faculties must be full on and we must see how to further enhance them because the profoundness of experience comes to you only with sharpness of perception you cannot dull your perception and think you are having a profound experience sorry go ahead please please tell me uh you know so how do we maximize or expand our perception so it's like this because as human beings we knew that only enhancement of our perception our life will become better we
wanted to see what is up there our eyes could not see so we made a telescope we want to see the virus so we made a microscope we want to hear what is happening somewhere else so we made a telephone we made a microphone see you and me talking literally 12 hours across the planet all right why all these technologies we made we want to enhance our perception isn't it yeah so right now this is a bunch of youth you know all all these youth events below 25 events i get invited because they think i'm
25. you have the my you have the curiosity of a child that's why they bring you so they were asking me satguru you have so much influence in the government why can't you make marijuana legal for us so this is over 10 15 000 people in bangalore city and it's a open-air thing i can smell the smoke they all gathered and they sang why don't you make it legal for us i said why this marijuana we will make cocaine also legal meth also legal whatever else you name it i will make all that legal for
you but why do you want it wanted this to be legal because you want to smoke dope and go to the university isn't it yes they said why not we are fine with that i said see we'll do one thing i'll get you a small plane and the pilot comes really smoked up do you want to fly with him and i said you're not getting it you need a major surgery the surgeon comes really smoked up you want the surgery they said no so you understand by smoking these things or drinking these things whatever your
faculties go down lowered faculties will mean less efficiency of life not only in terms of work in terms of experience also it means less life so you want to be high but you're going low and you're thinking you're high if you want to be high you come to me i will show you how to tune up all your faculties to such a level that you will be bright and alert all the time joyful blissful ecstatic look at my eyes i am always stoned without any substance because this is the most complex and sophisticated chemical factory
on the planet the question is only are you a great ceo or a lousy ceo that's all determines the nature of your experience so i don't want to give a philosophical explanation to human suffering human suffering is essentially that they have an intelligence for which they don't have a stable enough platform so they don't know how to handle their own intelligence you can call it tension stress anxiety misery whatever essentially your intelligence is turned against you that is all it is so much to unpack here so when we have emotions thoughts or feelings emotions of
anger resentment from something that happened in the past upset that we see on social media frustrations in the world where should we be redirecting these thoughts feelings and emotions should we be feeling them and allowing ourselves to go with anger until it stops should we be guarding our thoughts with with the reverse of that what's your ideas on thoughts and feeling and emotions you must punch a window pane or a wall better a stone wall is good you're feelable yeah exactly because that is the model that the hollywood and the television shows everything is setting
up when you get angry you break something all right exactly so see first of all people are assuming that anger is happening to them or misery is happening to them no this is exactly what i said earlier maybe i didn't articulate it fully no you are creating anger you are creating misery you you're creating joy you're creating whatever all this is happening from within you is it true all human experience is happening from within us uh it's it's yeah because we perceive something and then we something else something else may stimulate but human experience is
happening from within us isn't it right whether it's love or hate or anger or misery or joy or anything is only happening from within us now simple question i am asking is what happens from within you should you have should it happen your way or somebody else's way it should happen your way of course because the world will never happen your way 100 percent because there are so many stakeholders in the world little bit will happen my way a little bit your way that is fine but what happens within me must happen my way if
what happens within me does not happen my way this is the worst form of slavery isn't it wow somebody decides what happens within me somebody decides where i should sit this is slavery everybody understands this now somebody decides whether i am happy or unhappy isn't this the worst form of slavery yeah so this is the liberation that humanity needs to work at this is what inner engineering means inner engineering is not some mechanical process because engineering means this essentially you will say something is well engineered only if it works the way you want something if
this one doesn't work the way you want what the hell are you expecting other things to work the way you want it's just an accident when you live accidentally anxiety is normal yes it's every day but when you're living on purpose and intentionally and mindfully you should be able to shift out of that no no no no i wouldn't use those words okay what words would you use when you say purpose intention mindful see this is the whole problem with people their mind is full all the time right my mind is just empty all the
time nothing happening nothing that's why i wear a turban just to make it substantial there's nothing in my head if i'm walking there i'm just walking nothing happens because see right now your hands are there suppose your one hand starts jumping like this what if let's say my hand starts jumping like this what will you think you think satguru has some kind of a isn't it i just don't know that's the that's the way intelligent people do things you know no no suppose my hand starts jumping like that you will think there is some ailment
isn't it you will think i am maybe mr parkinson's is visiting me or something like that sure so your mind is jumping all the all over the place why is that not ailment i'm asking your only comfort is other people cannot see it isn't it i guess they see it through the manifestation of you being anxious or tense or stressed or angry or whether they see it or not they see it or not if any part of you is simply jumping without purpose is that an ailment i'm asking if any part of you is jumping
without purpose is an ailment um well i think in your inner engineering course you talk about how we have certain faculties that we can't control like going to the bathroom and doing certain things that are part of our body so yeah but uh i don't know if that's a trick no no the p the p is just filling up in the bladder it's not jumping all over the place catch your catch here if it jumps all over place that is an ailment that's an ammo yes correct right now suppose let me take a worse example
suppose your hand starts beating you in the face that's an ailment yes for sure so right now your thoughts and emotions are beating you up from inside why is that not an ailment i'm saying no it is so let us not think anger happens to us resentment happens to us no these things we are creating we have the power to emote we can make it love we can make it joy we can make it ecstasy but people have chosen to make it tension anger resentment hatred they have turned it that way now they will claim
this is because life has been unfair to me life has not been fair to anybody especially not me [Laughter] life is not fair to anybody life is simply rolling it's for you to learn to ride it sometimes we're in uncomfortable situations some for sometimes we're in comfortable situations sometimes we're in situations where we know exactly what to do and sometimes we're in situations where we don't know what to do sometimes somebody else is controlling the situation sometimes you're controlling the situation this is how life is if you are constantly stepping into unfamiliar situations in your
life that means you are growing at a rapid pace if you are in constantly in comfortable situations that means you're a stagnant life [Music] so if you if you look for comfort if you look for a comfort zone because the moment your thoughts and emotions are going to torment you with external stimulant external stimulation that happens what will you choose you will choose a comfort zone this means you will limit your life so the moment somebody can cause you pain or suffering this means unknowingly you will make the very scope of your life very limited
only when a person loses this fear of suffering that no matter what happens this is how i will be if this assurance comes to you then you walk full stride because whatever happens in the life around you it will not really make you suffer once you are free from suffering only when you are free from suffering when you are free from the fear of suffering that is when you will explore your life in full depth and dimension how do we rid ourselves of the fear of suffering then see as i told you the suffering is
happening because your faculties are not held in your hands if i have to go to this in little detail i will have to take a few minutes see for example if i ask you a simple question do you want your intellect to be sharp or blunt what is your choice sharp sharp of course so you understand your intellect is the better the sharper it is the better it is it's like a knife so if it's like a knife it's a cutting instrument so if you give anything to your intellect it will dissect everything and see
this is the nature of our intellect you don't have to physically dissect but it dissects everything and sees what is this what is that this is the nature of the intellect without dissection it doesn't know because it is a knife it's like a scalpel it must be sharp a knife that is not sharp is no good knife isn't it right so good for butter yeah that also depends if it just comes out of the refrigerator even that it won't cut so if uh if you're using a knife to do everything to do everything let's say
you eat with a knife you brush with your knife and you do everything with your knife of course you will be bleeding that's all that's happening only one dimension of intelligence within us in yogic way of looking at things we look at mind as 16 parts this intellect is just one part because our education systems are such which are totally intellect oriented human beings largely are using only one dimension of their intellect to do everything you use a knife to stitch your clothes what will you wear only tatters see that's what you're seeing in los
angeles right now half the people are wearing tattered clothes maybe they used a knife to stitch their jeans exactly with holes yes so if you use a knife to stitch that's what will happen all tatters right now human life is in tatters mainly because of this instead of using a needle you're using a knife so intellect is a very good instrument of survival if you want to survive on this planet you need a sharp intellect the sharper it is the better you will survive but that will not make life that will not put everything together
right now because through intellectual process people are trying to handle everything with so much care they're trying to do everything right right right right and a blunder the result is a blunder everything right but the end result is a big blunder because you're using a knife to do everything um when okay here's a here's a question for you when you when was the last time that you felt anger or resentment and actually expressed it i was just thinking of getting angry with you just now perfect bring it i love that the thing is luis i
uh i did not give this privilege to anybody that somebody can make me happy somebody can make me unhappy somebody can make me i'm angry somebody can make me miserable i have not given that privilege to anybody it's not that i'm incapable of all these things if i want i can be all those things right but i have not give given this privilege to anybody they can't do something to me and make me angry no i have not given that privilege to anyone did you have did you have that experience or give that privilege to
someone when you were younger did you learn that at a certain point where you transitioned till till i was 23 24 years of age from the age of probably 11 12. i was always 24 hours angry really almost yes because i was i was on this binge of what is justice and injustice so once you start looking what is justice and injustice just about everything in the world looks unjust everything makes you feel small yeah yeah everything anything unjust means it makes me angry and everywhere i see whether at home in school on the street
in the society in the country in the world wherever i see i think this is unjust this is unjust this isn't just so much injustice always angry right i mean i feel like there's a lot there's a lot of people in the in america and in the world who a lot of things make them angry and there's a lot of unjustice for people so when when did you shift and how did you come to that realization that this no longer works for you in your life see it doesn't work for anybody that's true but for
you personally when did you realize the reason why people think anger is some kind of a virtue because they say righteous anger all right right now america is cheating with anger and they think it's righteous anger this is simply because it takes some horrible thing to stimulate them into action there's not enough love in your heart to stimulate yourself into action something has to poke you you must get angry and then it propels you into action so that kind of action sometimes will produce results of course but if you want genuine results which will be
good for everybody we must do it when everything is right but when everything is little comfortable nobody does anything when something horrible happens then we will get angry and propel ourselves to interaction right now this propelling yourself into action with anger how long will you keep it up if you keep it up forever you you will destroy yourself and you will destroy everything around yourself so anger is become valuable because most people are so lethargic in their responses once in a way when they get angry they feel empowered and seem to be doing right things
once in a way you must be doing those right things all your life then by the end of your life everything might not have changed but you would have made a difference that's the way the world works um so how many so if people are lethargic and comfortable a lot of the times and they're unwilling to choose love and act with love to make a change how do we get people to wake up when things are calmer so that they can act with love and get the change in the results they want see today uh
this whole moment what you're seeing as in engineering is a moment from religion to responsibility in a way essentially what i mean is religion means people are thinking responsibility somewhere up there where is that up nobody knows all right you just have to believe where is that up but now you are sitting in california i am here in tamil nadu if i look up i am looking at looking up in one direction if you look up you are looking up in another direction so myapp is different europe is different and by tomorrow morning again my
app will be yours europe will be mine it will be a big confusion the damn planet is spinning and it's round which way is up does anybody know which way is up in this universe is it marked somewhere in the cosmos this side up there is no such thing so responsibility is up there no no it must come here we must understand if we want to live in a wonderful world it's only us and us and us who can make this happen no other force from anywhere is going to make this happen unless we realize
on transform ourselves from religion to responsibility that it's here what this whole thing has come up is see because we have no explanation for creation before you and me came so much creation has happened who did it a simplistic childish understanding of this is a big man must have done it so he's somewhere up there because you can't see him here he must be up there now of course women are claiming why not it be a woman in india we sorted these problems out there we have man gods we're women gods we have snake god
we have cow god we have elephant god we have every kind crawling once creeping ones flying once because we foresaw all the future problems that may happen you don't know who will claim what tomorrow so we said everything is god so what i am saying is our idea of god has essentially come because we have no explanation for creation how did all this happen such a complex fantastic stuff who did it because we are human we think it must be a big human being suppose you and me were buffaloes having conversation right now we would
definitely think god is a huge buffalo isn't it nobody could argue with us about that we would definitely say he's a huge buffalo because that would be our imagination right now this is our imagination it's fine if you are using it to settle a few things if you are using it as a way of a psychological process fine but solace is one thing solutions for life is a different thing so one first thing that we must decide is those who are in extreme states of poverty war other kinds of misery imposed upon them only for
them you must give rest of us who have eaten our breakfast today morning or dinner we should talk about solution not solace solace is just a psychological process to settle something within you but why people have eaten well people who are healthy people who have a life to live why are they psychological problem they should not have any psychological problems that's all i'm saying i know this will be very cruel for a lot of people but they better get it because life is brief if they don't get it now and they think being psychologically disturbed
is normal they will spend their life like this it is not normal to be healthy is normal to be balanced is normal to be joyful is normal look at yourself when you're five years of age were you miserable or joyful and if somebody had to make you take the joy out of you by poking you with something otherwise joy wouldn't go you would be bouncing all over the place isn't it today somebody has to make you happy somebody has to work hard to make you happy so at that time somebody had to work hard to
make you miserable today somebody has to make you work hard to make you happy the whole equation has gotten reversed what is it what is it that happened to you you just grew up if you grew up life should become better when you grow up isn't it all other life you see a little plant when it grows up into a tree does it become better or worse becomes better it becomes good everything becomes better only human beings are saying oh childhood was so fantastic my adulthood is misery why this must be the best time your
old age must be the most fantastic time [Laughter] but i'm hearing what i'm hearing you say is we've allowed our our inner engineering to not to be broken and we allow it to stay broken with our thoughts and our emotions and our feelings and we don't take care of it see we as a society as a culture as a generation of people we have not given enough significance to the life that we are our whole business you ask any child today he knows where that galaxy z163 is all right because he's seen it on the
phone screen but he doesn't know a damn thing about himself you do not know the fundamental mechanics of how you function for example let me put this in a very simple way right now i will give you a simple exercise next 10 seconds you should not think about a monkey do not think about a monk do not think about a monkey that's what i'm saying only monkeys isn't it so to this mind this is the nature of your mind if you say do not something only that will happen that's the nature of your mind to
this mind somebody told you what is good what is bad do not think about bad things well that's a full time job i'm saying you have not understood the simple most fundamental mechanics of human mind this doesn't need any enlightenment if anybody sits with two minutes eyes closed they will realize that in this mind there is no subtraction and division there's only addition and multiplication whatever you try to do only more will happen there are no breaks on it all three petals a throttle i wish we could go for another six hours but i want
to be respectful of your time and i have many many questions that uh i know i'll always want to ask and uh continue to learn and improve in my life and i know my audience will uh want to ask as well but i want to i want to respectful time and finish with a few questions um this is called the three truths i asked this question to every guest that i have on at the end it's a hypothetical question so the three the three truths oh truth hypothetical question uh there's only one well okay perfect
the well here's the question you can share with yours if it's one or three um imagine you have uh lived your life fully and and you've gone off to do everything you want to do uh you've lived many more years but eventually you must go your body must go and for whatever reason said guru you have to take all of your teachings your books your videos this interview with you when you pass for whatever reason hypothetical and you get to before you go write down three things you know to be true about all of your
life experience about lessons about what you'd want to share with the world that we would all have access to and this is all we would have access to from your wisdom what would you say are those three things for you and maybe it's only one thing but what would you say are your three truths well i'm anyway planning to do that what you said take all the books and videos and everything because all the idiots around me if they don't get the point when i'm alive they're not going to get it after i'm gone oh
there you go [Laughter] so uh books and videos are only inspirational that will never convey truth it will only inspire them to seek so that seeking i i clearly know that i have instilled in millions of people that seeking will live on it it doesn't take books and videos and stuff it'll anyway live on because the seeking is not about me the seeking is the fundamental nature of every human being the fundamental intelligence within the human being essentially seeks so the seeking is destroyed by making them believe something all the time along the way this
is right that is wrong that is god this is devil like this beliefs and beliefs and beliefs and you block the seeking so my whole work has been to unblock those blocks so that people become seekers so if they have become seekers they will anyway continue to seek if they haven't well all the best for them what can i do [Laughter] okay so is that is that one truth then become a seeker no we can explore all the others [Laughter] perfect perfect different doors to the same building different doors of the same building got it
um i want to uh i want to encourage everyone to get in your engineering because as i'm going through right now i'm really enjoying the philosophy that you're sharing with everyone uh where can we go to get access to this and and follow you on social media i've got a couple questions left for you but i want to make sure everyone goes and gets access to this because it's a way for them to continue one thing is right now if you are if you are a frontline worker working for the corvid virus then it's offered
free to everybody otherwise it's offered at half price because of the virus situation so millions of people are making use of it uh they should go to in engineering.com is it interengineering.com innerengineering.com in united states that's where it is so it's available there and they should go through it as quickly as possible they shouldn't spread it let's say seven days within 15 days if they go through it it's most impactful now in the next few days we are adding an extra bonus extra day eight days a eighth session which will come on day four or
something where we're teaching some practices mainly to enhance the immunity of the system considering these times right now we can't be locked down forever the only way for us to get back we don't know a damn thing about this virus i have been looking at every scientific uh study that every day 128 new papers are being released scientific papers that means we don't know anything every day little little little they're learning so if you look at it we don't have a clear statement this is the nature of this virus this is what it can do
nobody has said that so the only instrument that we have is a strong immune system if you have you know you can pass through this so as a part of this we're introducing one more extra session which must go in within the next few days that there will be a series of practices that one can learn in one session which will enhance the immune system here we have talked to millions of people in rural india which is making a huge difference yeah that's powerful yeah i encourage everyone to go get that and we'll have it
linked up on the show notes and everything as well um what are three things that you think three habits that you apply in your life that you think are simple habits everyone should be applying for increased happiness and immunity in general oh these are two things happiness and immune some people are immune to happiness feel like if you have more happiness your immune system would be increased as well so definitely if one is exuberant all systems including the immune system will function better because we should not understand happiness and joy as just a certain type
of emotion essentially when your life energies are exuberant it will naturally bubble out you don't have to try to be happy you don't have to be try to be joyful this will naturally happen when your energies are exuberant and effervescent naturally your immune system will work well so those two things are different but to considering the times i think i should say a few words on the immune system there are a few simple things that you can do in india we have so many herbs and other things in a tropical land that we are using
very effectively i must tell you this where we are right now we are near in the western part of tamil nadu where you went is the eastern part near the coast this is the western part of tamil nadu in this region our volunteers have been active giving a few you know a few herbal drinks all around for the police for the medical personnel and all the whole population a few million people and we are also distributing this in various places wherever this has been done in this region of tamil nadu there's not been a single
case till now though it's rampant in chennai there's not a single case here i cannot claim it's only because of this drink but this drink has made a huge difference this drink has nothing to do with the coveted virus but it has something to do with enhancing your immune system your system functions better one simple thing that in the united states people can do if you have a garden just spend at least one hour barefoot in the garden put your hands into the earth do something just connect it to the earth in some way believe
me your immune immune system will work very very well lovingly if you handle soil you must call it mother soil not dirt okay and you handle it you will see your immune system will go up this is something we have completely disregarded all the time on whatever if you are a woman you are on three or three or six inch heel if you're a man you're on a proper boot never connected to the earth it's important that you connect to the earth because what you think is your body is just an extension of this earth
you're just a pop-up on this planet one day you will pop back into the planet all right so this is very important this is a simple thing you can do if you don't have a garden volunteer to work in your neighbor's garden he will also be happy you will also be healthy that's one thing and today i think certain things are available in united states one simple thing is turmeric if if you mix a little bit of turmeric in warm water along with honey and drink it three to five times a day wow your immune
system will work wonderfully well okay these are simple things that you can do and there are also certain other things may not be available it should be available in california you have these gooseberries raw mangoes these are all wonderful things for your immune system this is naturally when people are going into certain states particularly when women get pregnant they have an urge to eat certain things all these things have been identified as things which are extremely good for your immune system because it's a natural urge instinctive urge in the system to strengthen the immune system
when a woman gets pregnant this is a natural process which is happening in the it is a intelligence invested in our bodies which may not necessarily get articulated in our minds yeah beautiful um and there is a simple practice which we can give to you you can put it on your cast broadcast yeah it's called simha kriya simakriya it just takes 12 minutes to do it this will immediately enhance the immune system i would say within within two weeks of practice there will be a significant uh improvement in the immune system wow everybody is stepping
out from the lockdown either you want to go to work or you want to protest do whatever you want to do your immune system should be good it's very important wow yeah we'd love to share that uh we'll connect with your team after and by the way do you have a podcast of guru oh no really i'm all over oh the world needs to hear your voice on on audio as well i know you have a big youtube following in social media but uh i'm happy to connect with your team later to you already have
the content it would transform a lot of people's lives if you if you choose to do that in the future so i'm happy to support it i'll ask uh our u.s team to get in touch with you please support us yes of course um my final uh before i ask my final question so i grew uh i wanted to acknowledge you for the incredible gift you are to the world for the incredible example you said every day for the people around you again i think you explaining that our life should get better the older we
get not have more problems and more challenges and more diseases should improve it should flourish we should have fruits hanging from our limbs essentially i love the example you set of demonstrating love peace childlike joy every single day because that example is uh rippling into in so many lives and so i just really acknowledge you for the gift that you are and all you do to serve humanity in a big way and my my final question for you is what i ask everyone at the end as well is what is your definition of greatness say
uh we used to print a brochure for an engineering programs we would say inner engineering from ordinary to extraordinary so these are physical programs at that time when i'm doing this after one or two days they would come and ask sadhguru you said something special will happen what is it i said i never said anything special the brochure says ordinary to extraordinary i said yes that's what i mean you will become extraordinary more ordinary than ordinary people when you become very ordinary you just become life when you just not one mess in your mind trying
to be special you just ordinary life because ordinary life is fantastic because there's no greater phenomena than the so-called ordinary life everybody is trying to be something other than life who are those people that you consider as great people only those people who broke the boundaries of limitations of their persona isn't it those who operated within their personal context you don't call them great it is only those people who operated beyond that that means they were not trying to direct their love in some direction they were not trying to become great first of all they
just allowed their love to direct them you should never direct your sense of inclusiveness that you have you'll allow your inclusiveness to direct your actions is it right wrong is it successful a whole lot of self-appointed you know advisors around me who keep saying satguru for what you have you could make billions of dollars you could do this you could do that what are you doing i said what do i do with billion dollars huh i want 7.6 billion people what do i do with a billion dollars i don't know what to do with it
what will i do with it anyway wherever i go people feed me wherever i go people make sure i stay in good places wherever i go i travel well so why do i need money i don't need money because the problem with humanity is as i said earlier they have taken their own physical and psychological form too seriously they have a shape to their body they have a shape to their mental structure this is what transformation means when i said inner engineering tools for transformation transform means you destroy the existing form and become a larger
form and then you destroy that and become a larger form continuous transformation means moving from form to no form kind of state anybody who showed or exhibited those aspects in their life at some point they broke their form and did something beyond that those are the people that you're recognizing as great isn't it i have no intention of being great i'm just fooling around [Laughter] i love that well uh hopefully next time you're in los angeles we'll be able to have some food and i'll i'll pay for your meal for you and hopefully when i
come to india we can connect you you have to pay my for my food because every day somebody pays for my food i got you i don't know i don't earn anything i got you and uh hopefully and maybe we'll meet up in dayton some someday if you go back to the museum why not dayton will be good it's been years since i went there i love that so guru thank you so much for your time and for your wisdom and thank you look forward to supporting i hope it's been useful for you of course
i thank you very much we'll catch up somewhere in us i don't know when i'll make it i was just thinking i'll take a boat to united states because airplanes are so unsafe right come on come on over yeah we'd love to love to connect love to have you come back on in the future as well and keep sharing your message and promoting your programs so what you're doing is inspiring so thank you thank you i appreciate it have a good one if i saw something was difficult i wanted to master it i was driven
to do that just to see how far i could go in these multiple directions and that left me vulnerable to one thing it left me vulnerable to being in a situation where i wasn't healthy enough to manage it
