00:00:00
the World Health Organization made a prediction there will be a mental health pandemic but this is not something that
00:00:06
has to happen if you want to fix this you need to sad Guru one of the most viewed gurus in the world his mission is
00:00:14
to raise every human being to the peak of their potential who has built one of the largest nonprofit organizations in
00:00:20
the world we have more than any other generation ever had in terms of Comforts and Technologies yet we are miserable
00:00:28
people you want to be something more all the time that's why you suffer just tell me is there one thing that human beings
00:00:35
are not suffering somebody's poor they suffer their poverty somebody becomes rich they suffer the taxes if they're
00:00:41
not married they suffer get married I don't have to say anything you're making up a purpose to
00:00:48
bring some meaning to your life but if you try to enhance your activity without enhancing yourself you'll only die of
00:00:55
stress what about trauma you're finding an excuse for the way you are which you
00:01:01
yourself don't like if something unpleasant happened to you you have two choices either you can become wise or
00:01:08
you can become wounded your experience of life is determined by you if your happiness depends on what happens on the
00:01:15
outside you being happy is a remote possibility I want to be happy what's
00:01:20
step one there is a simple practice which only take 21 minutes and this is when human beings can do something
00:01:27
absolutely fantastic first thing is I just want to start this episode with a
00:01:34
message of thanks a thank you to everybody that Tunes in to listen to this podcast by doing so you've enabled
00:01:39
me to live out my dream but also for many members of our team to live out their dreams too it's one of the
00:01:45
greatest privileges I could never have dreamed of or imagined in my life to get to do this to get to learn from these people to get to have these
00:01:51
conversations to get to interrogate them from a very selfish perspective trying to solve problems I have in my life so I
00:01:56
feel like I owe you a huge thank you for being here and for listening to these episodes and for making this platform what it is can I ask you a favor I can't
00:02:04
tell you how much um you can change the course of this podcast the the course of the guests were able to invite to the
00:02:10
show and to the course of everything that we do here just by doing one simple thing and that simple thing is hitting
00:02:15
that subscribe button helps this channel more than I could ever explain the guests on this platform are incredible
00:02:21
because so many of you have hit that button and I know when we think about what we want to do together over the
00:02:26

00:02:37
us as a community and for this [Music]
00:02:46
platform what is the the mission that you're
00:02:51
on well today you know a few months ago the wh or the World Health Organization
00:02:59
made a prediction that there is going to be a mental health
00:03:05
pandemic at least 5 years ago none of us knew what is a pandemic today we all know what is a pandemic and they've gone
00:03:12
further and they said the next stage is there will be a suicide pandemic just to
00:03:17
put it in perspective in 2020 when the pandemic was in full swing all over the
00:03:24
world in Japan more people died of suicide than of the pandemic so we don't
00:03:32
really need the virus that's all I'm saying because the virus has gotten into our head because once survival is taken
00:03:40
care of you if you did do not become conscious the way you sit stand breathe
00:03:47
think emote and function within yourself if it does not become conscious you will
00:03:53
naturally head downhill this is just September 23rd I completed 40 Years of
00:04:00
this work so 40 years ago I was a young man one
00:04:07
afternoon when I had nothing much to do somehow an hour and a half Gap was there for me in the work I was working like
00:04:14
morning 530 in the morning to 11: in the night building various kinds of businesses around me so when I got a
00:04:21
break there's a small hill this hill is a place where we go and for the Youth
00:04:28
when I was a kid I cycled up this hill we camped on this hill we parted on this hill if you want to test our motorcycles
00:04:35
we went up the hill just about anything you want to do the youth go to chamundi Hill this is
00:04:41
the thing I just walked up and sat on a rock
00:04:46
my eyes were still open I thought it's just 10 15 or 20
00:04:52
minutes suddenly I started feeling every cell in my body literally dripping
00:04:58
ecstasy I thought this lasted 15 20 minutes but when I came back to my normal senses 4
00:05:05
and a half hours had passed for the first time in my adult life tears me and tears were simply impossible tears to a
00:05:13
point my shirt is all wet then I shake my skeptical mind and
00:05:18
ask what the hell is happening to me all I knew was I had hit a gold mind and
00:05:24
there was no context nobody around me could tell me what was happening with me
00:05:29
nor did I know what was happening with me this is something that most people will experience in their lives on a
00:05:36
certain day when they're very happy 24 hours feels like 10 minutes another day when you're
00:05:42
depressed 10 minutes will feel like 24 hours time is a very relative experience
00:05:49
when you're so blissed out what is 2 minutes it's 8 hours 10 hours just gone like
00:05:54
that so in about 6 to 8 weeks I came to
00:06:00
some kind of stabilization Within Myself and started experimenting as to what is
00:06:05
happening to me then I realized if I keep a little distance
00:06:10
from my physiological and psychological activity that's going on if I just
00:06:16
remove myself a little bit then within within a few seconds or within a couple
00:06:21
of minutes every cell in my body is bursting with ecstasy now this is not just my
00:06:28
experience today we have it measured out in Howard Medical School how there is
00:06:35
endoc cannabites are bursting out in people simply because they do a simple
00:06:40
practice so I made a plan in 2 and 1 half years time I will make the whole
00:06:45
world blissed out I knew the methodology if you just keep a distance it'll
00:06:51
happen 40 years now today people are saying we are
00:06:57
touching over two billion people last year our video views have been 3.51
00:07:03
billion so people think that's great but no that is less than half the population
00:07:09
as far as I'm concerned because I started thinking I'll make the whole world blissed out but people are
00:07:15
committed to their miseries either because of their beliefs or their ideologies or their compulsive Behavior
00:07:21
within themselves so it needs to happen to the whole world this is I don't see
00:07:27
this as a mission I just see this as an expression of my Humanity suppose you hear a good joke will you tell somebody
00:07:35
who's dear to you or will you cover yourself with a blanket and tell yourself of course I'd tell everybody
00:07:42
yeah pretend it was mine that's all I'm trying to do no Mission my experience I'm trying to just
00:07:48
rub it off on people some stats for you that support what you said earlier someone dies by suicide in the UK every
00:07:54
90 minutes 76% of them are male the single biggest cause of death for men
00:08:01
under the age of 45 here in the UK is by Suicide you said you spent a lot a lot
00:08:06
of time around business people and they appear to be the most unhappy and least
00:08:12
Blissful people I wouldn't say unhappy stressed out stressed out what is it that we're doing to the because I I see
00:08:18
myself I must be in that category to some regard because I've focused most of my time on you know building businesses
00:08:24
and you know I guess to some extent material things and SU ESS so I must be
00:08:31
part of that that is a diversionary tactic in the sense so you can think that survival
00:08:38
means 2 Ms a day or you can think survival means bentle so it'll keep you
00:08:44
busy a little longer still survival process as long as
00:08:50
the survival there's an instinct of survival and there is a longing to expand within the human being so for
00:08:57
most human beings these two things are mixed up it is their Instinct of survival which is finding expression as
00:09:05
their longing to expand so it doesn't matter who you are where you are
00:09:10
anybody you want to be something more if that's something more happens you want
00:09:15
to be something more you can go on like this how much more whatever you want if I make it true
00:09:22
for you right now next moment you'll be thinking what more suppose I make you
00:09:28
the king of not England the planet don't look at me hopefully I I
00:09:34
will not commit such a blunder suppose we make you the king of
00:09:40
this planet will you be fulfilled no you will look at the Moon you look at other planets you look at
00:09:46
the other galaxies if I give you one Galaxy you'll say what about the other Galaxy because there is something within
00:09:53
a human being which wants to expand limitlessly is that not a good thing
00:09:58
it's not not the reason why I didn't I didn't say it's not good I'm just saying
00:10:03
you have constipated that longing to expand that's why you suffer when I say
00:10:09
constipated right now you want to expand limitlessly can you expand this body
00:10:15
limitlessly no please don't don't try in the gym I've tried
00:10:22
but so physical expansion is a limited expansion and your longing is to EXP and
00:10:29
limitlessly because there is something within you which doesn't like boundaries the moment see if I imprison
00:10:36
you in a 5x five cubicle you will feel terribly imprisoned then tomorrow I will announce
00:10:42
your Liberation and release you into 10x 10 cubicle you will feel wonderful for
00:10:47
two days then you will feel horribly imprisoned then we will release you into
00:10:53
100 by 100 cubicle you'll be fine for a week after that you'll feel miserable doesn't matter where where I set the
00:10:59
boundary once you feel the boundary you want to break it so there is something
00:11:05
intrinsic within you which doesn't like boundaries this is a consequence of the
00:11:11
evolution that you've gone through once your cerebral cortex flowered now you
00:11:16
don't like boundaries but you're trying to expand
00:11:21
in an infinite Way by counting 1 2 3 4 5 can you ever count 1 2 3 4 5 when one
00:11:29
day say infinity no you will only get into endless counting that's all that's
00:11:34
happening that's why I said your longing to expand is a limitless process but
00:11:40
right now you're constipated you're going one little step at a time constipation means just this it happens
00:11:46
little by little so so is it a case of trying to
00:11:51
find a balance between your ambition to expand and to grow and be successful and peace why should you find balance you
00:11:58
must EXP expand okay so that's what I'm doing yes no what is the means to become
00:12:04
a boundless expansion if you look at that then we say Consciousness this is
00:12:09
what raising human consciousness means because you realize physical expansion
00:12:15
is not a realistic thing we can make physical arrangements as we want as we need for our convenience and comfort but
00:12:23
that is not the way to expand expansion needs to happen in a way that it's not physical in nature
00:12:29
then you can also own the Universe I can Al also own the universe when when I when I look at the
00:12:36
way we're living our lives in the Western World what you talked about the who they describe stress as an epidemic
00:12:43
sometimes and they say it's a major contributor to the diseases that we're undergoing um where I'm trying to figure
00:12:49
out in my life where I'm going if there's anywhere where I'm going wrong because I've I'm building these businesses and I'm you know I sometimes
00:12:58
ask myself to what end you know when you say where am I going
00:13:04
wrong the wrong is this the fundamental wrong is this what is not you if you
00:13:10
think it's you then you're trapped in that if you think that I am this chair
00:13:16
because we sat on this chair for a period of time if you think you are this chair now this chair will go with you
00:13:22
stuck to your backside wherever you go that's a very ugly thing to do isn't it
00:13:28
it's the same thing right now your thought you think it's you your emotion you think it's you you physiological
00:13:35
stuff you think it's you it's pretty ugly it's just because everybody's got this chair stuck to the backs side it
00:13:42
looks like it's normal after all it's convenient wherever you go you don't have to look for a chair you got a chair fixed if I
00:13:49
identify with all these things if I identify with this chair you'll saying that that becomes a way that's all the
00:13:55
thing is your identity whatever you are identified with with that becomes a part
00:14:00
of you and is that what's causing us a lot of our despair if you sit here just
00:14:05
as life what is your problem as long as you alive everything
00:14:12
is fine yeah the only problem is you're
00:14:18
identified with things that you're are not so the whole lot of confusion about everything so if you're successful you
00:14:25
suffer if you failure you suffer if you're see look at the thing is there one thing that human beings are
00:14:31
not suffering just tell me somebody's poor they suffer their poverty somebody
00:14:36
becomes rich they suffer the taxes no children they suffer that give them children every day pay something or the
00:14:43
other so it looks like whole life is suffering so somebody makes a philosophy whole life is suffering you must go to
00:14:50
heaven if you know that much why are you not gone you are not gone because you don't
00:14:57
know a damn thing whether there is a place better than this somewhere or not you don't know you
00:15:04
just claiming these things to somehow fix your psychological sloshing that's happening
00:15:10
inside you're making up things to somehow believe something so that your
00:15:16
psychology won't just splash all over the place and go crazy you're trying to hold yourself in place telling yourself
00:15:22
fairy tals all right so what I'm saying is do you believe that if you want to
00:15:31
navigate your life through this time that we have in a
00:15:37
sensible manner the most important thing is to see life as
00:15:44
is as it is if I don't see in this room things as
00:15:51
they are I will walk into this table I will bump into somebody I will do crazy things every day if I see very clearly
00:16:00
navigating myself through all these cables and tripods is not a big problem
00:16:06
hello but if I don't see if there's no Clarity of vision if I'm not seeing
00:16:11
things as they are then what a mess it is every little thing that's all the
00:16:16
problem problem is not that what you're doing is wrong the way you're seeing it is wrong how do I how do I know the way
00:16:25
I'm seeing it is wrong what is the evidence of that or the symptoms of that as you giving me the evidence from
00:16:31
statistics that's the evidence MH so I am not like that obviously you're here
00:16:37
I'm here so both of us didn't commit suicide so we are not in the statistic that's not the point you think
00:16:44
those people who committed suicide everything was wrong with their life
00:16:50
no not everything was wrong with their life a few things as it goes wrong in
00:16:55
your life my life everybody's life some things don't work all right right in everybody's life something doesn't work
00:17:01
in the outside world if everything is working for you obviously you're living a very Petty life in my life 95% of the
00:17:10
things that I want doesn't happen only 5% happens because I'm trying to fix everything in the world most of the
00:17:17
things don't happen so if anybody wants to die of frustration it must be me but I will not because no matter what I will
00:17:26
die blessed out I live blessed out iish doubt because what I do what the
00:17:33
situation is around me and how I am are never connected I'm the way I am I'll do
00:17:39
my best has has it required you to train yourself to sort of disattach from it is
00:17:44
no no no see uh this is all because see the problem is too much
00:17:51
uh spiritual jargon is going all over the world because every idiot who's read
00:17:56
two books can write her next book book if you read two books there was a
00:18:02
time when people read 10 books and then wrote one book that was called plagarism now they read two books and they write
00:18:08
the third book say your your background is full of
00:18:13
books I hope you not read all of them I've only read two and I'm writing
00:18:20
one uh because just about everybody is writing it's all right it's freedom of
00:18:26
expression they can write what they want but these are two things there is
00:18:32
expression and there is perception which should you invest in
00:18:38
more perception if you perceive well your expression will be
00:18:44
valuable right now everybody's on expression binge without perceiving a damn
00:18:50
[Laughter] thing there will be so many people that
00:18:56
are going through dress at work in their relationships in their household listening to this going how how do I
00:19:03
live blissed out like he does like what what's step one in that staircase I'll tell
00:19:10
you see whatever you call it you call it by whatever name you want stress anxiety
00:19:18
tension depression bipolar this one that one many
00:19:23
things I was talking to some of the top uh psychiatrists in UK
00:19:29
and they told me there are 72 varieties of psychological ailments I thought they
00:19:35
may be half a dozen but they said there are 72 varieties of psychological
00:19:41
ailments I was really surprised 72 that's like a golf game you
00:19:47
know then I asked what are these they told me quite a few things one of the things they told was compulsive nose
00:19:55
picking even if they're bleeding in the nose they can't stop it that explains everything in a way
00:20:02
compulsive nose picking leave the nose picking it's compulsiveness you're compulsive in your
00:20:08
thought compulsive in your emotion compulsive in your actions that's all the problem is how do you fix compulsion
00:20:16
compulsiveness if this room is dark how do you fix it let's do one thing both of
00:20:21
us fight with this darkness and push it out of the window there's no such thing if you turn on the light it's gone
00:20:29
so there is no substitute for Consciousness if you become conscious
00:20:35
compulsive behavior is gone suppose you are in thought emotion action and energy
00:20:41
you are not compulsive that you can create whatever thought you want whatever emotion you want would you keep
00:20:47
yourself blessed out or miserable what's your choice blessed
00:20:53
out for yourself every human being for themselves they want the highest level
00:20:58
of pleasantness so the intent is already there you don't I don't have to inspire them be blissed out there's no such
00:21:05
philosophy every human being wants the highest level of pleasantness for themselves those who think it's hopeless
00:21:12
here they are the ones who created heaven they said there is a place which is always
00:21:18
pleasant but they don't have any proof that we are all we are not already in
00:21:23
heaven and making a mess out of that hello do you do you think this is happen
00:21:29
this is planet Earth and it's a fantastic place and it's the most fantastic place we have seen in the
00:21:35
known universe do you think there's Heaven though do you think there's somewhere else we go to that is another world
00:21:41
after this one everybody who thinks there is one they must go today hello if they if they have better
00:21:48
accommodation somewhere than London should they not go did people not rush to America at one
00:21:57
time why are they not going no they want you to go this is not
00:22:02
good true see whatever kind of mental ailment you talk about essentially when
00:22:10
your intelligence turn against you there's no power in the universe which
00:22:15
can help you but why is my intelligence turn turning against me somewhere we
00:22:21
have not learned how to handle it isn't it MH your education systems your
00:22:26
Society nowhere is there anything to teach a child how to handle their own
00:22:31
intelligence their own emotions their own thoughts there is no such thing all
00:22:37
fixing mechanic shop you know repair jobs everywhere leave the repair jobs
00:22:42
the simple thing is this the reason why people are
00:22:48
struggling with this is they have uh pardon my words but uh otherwise
00:22:54
people won't get it they have a mental diarrhea this doesn't create create anything except
00:23:00
distress anything that runs loose without your control is called diarrhea why has it
00:23:07
happened even today even if somebody gets physical diarrhea immediately
00:23:12
somebody will pop a pill but traditionally what did we do somebody has diarrhea first thing is we
00:23:18
understood we have eaten something wrong first thing we did was just don't eat
00:23:23
just drink water and wait and next identify what did I eat yesterday or
00:23:29
today morning what happened to me what is it that I consumed which caused this and avoid that but now we will plug it
00:23:36
in no if you plug it in it'll all rise within yourself this all that's happening right now our way of doing
00:23:44
life is very forceful when I had mental diarrhea last time the last time I I had
00:23:49
mental diarrhea that kind of overthinking causes anxiety all those things no no let me correct this there
00:23:54
is no overthinking I'm saying people are not not thinking enough this is a
00:23:59
serious problem but they think they're overthinking they are not overthinking it's a diarrhea it's happening why is it
00:24:07
happening something wrong food has gone in what is the wrong food this is all it is the moment you identify yourself with
00:24:15
something that you are not your mind you cannot stop do what you want do whatever you want it will not
00:24:26
stop so that that anxiety that people experience where they start remunerating about the future or something that's
00:24:33
happened that is because let me put it this way this this question I understand what you're
00:24:39
saying see what is it that human beings are suffering what happened 10 years ago
00:24:45
they're still suffering what may happen day after tomorrow they're already suffering this what you
00:24:51
saying what happened 10 years ago is it here now does it exist no what may
00:24:58
happen Day After Tomorrow does it exist here no so if you're suffering something
00:25:03
that does not exist what does it mean tell me bluntly
00:25:10
if you're suffering something that doesn't exist it's like insanity but it feels like it is
00:25:15
insanity it is insanity that's why I'm saying once you start doing this how far
00:25:21
you go when will you graduate when will you end up in a doctor's place when will you end up in Asylum is a question of
00:25:28
time but now World bodies are predicting is going to happen large scale very soon
00:25:35
let me give you an example so someone has a sick child or or they just lost their job and they're thinking over and
00:25:43
over again about you know oh my God my child's going to die I'm going to lose my job and then I can't feed myself I'm
00:25:48
going to lose my house then I'm going to be on the street that kind of remuneration and stress that that
00:25:55
anxiety they experience on a day-to-day basis bis because they're scared of losing something which might you know
00:26:00
they believe will end them up on the street or lose their job or they won't be able to feed their family that kind of Torment MH I wouldn't want to put
00:26:08
those two things in the same level losing a child and losing a job all
00:26:14
right losing a child is a different thing it's a completely different thing obviously there will be a certain amount
00:26:20
of pain in any human being that's different so let say such a terrible
00:26:29
thing we had to face that we may lose our child tell me can you do the best for
00:26:36
the child if you are in your sanity or is it
00:26:41
good to go into Insanity I feel like it takes a
00:26:47
tremendous discipline now what it takes we'll see later but I'm just asking a fundamental question okay it well it
00:26:52
makes more sense not to go into Insanity yes sanity will make a difference maybe
00:26:57
we can save the child maybe we cannot because all aspects of life we don't
00:27:03
determine our experience we can determine see what happens in the world
00:27:10
around you even if you're just two people in the family never will it happen 100% your
00:27:17
way if you try nobody will be around you it's as simple as that I've read your
00:27:25
story so I know that there's moments in your life where you've lost people that you loved lot of people not one or two
00:27:33
because my family is so large almost every other day I burying somebody who's very dear to me which one of those
00:27:40
moments impacted you the most and did any of them drive you into the insanity
00:27:45
that we're talking about no I don't let anything drive me into insanity this is a brief amount of time
00:27:53
that you have as life here we create many things you're creating businesses I have large
00:28:00
movements where millions of people are involved there are relationships you cannot take these
00:28:07
things lightly because other lives are involved but you cannot prevent anybody
00:28:14
from dying you can attend to them if if
00:28:20
something is going to happen to them you can make attempts to save them but you cannot prevent anybody from absolutely
00:28:26
dying including yourself this a fact so the only two things that
00:28:32
we have is a certain amount of time and a certain amount of energy this is all that you call as life what do you want
00:28:38
to make out of it you want to make a mess out of it see the thing is first of all they living an emotionally
00:28:44
constipated life they only loved their child I saw everybody as mine everything
00:28:51
that happen hurts but that's part of it if you walk in a forest there are thongs
00:28:56
in your feet but but this doesn't mean you don't enjoy the forest all right do you have moments of
00:29:02
sadness see you're asking a very question which is hard for me to say
00:29:10
because I have done this to myself that nothing happens within
00:29:15
me the way I don't want it if that was your situation nothing
00:29:22
happens within you unconsciously everything that happens happens happens the way you want
00:29:28
within yourself what is the experience that you want to have right now is always determined by you what would be
00:29:35
your choice grief and misery is it no see you are the only creature who can
00:29:41
decide your way of being no matter what is the surrounding
00:29:47
every other creature is an instinctive reaction to what's happening around them because they are only fired by their
00:29:54
survival Instinct they don't have any other aspiration once their stomach is full their life is
00:30:01
settled for a human being stomach empty there's only one problem stomach full
00:30:06
100 problems because life doesn't settle with survival you want to be something else
00:30:14
all the time the problem is you a being you're supposed to know how to be how
00:30:21
far away have human beings gone from the definition or that aspiration so is an incorrect question
00:30:28
to ask then because I asked you if you if you've you experience sadness if I want to I do if you want to
00:30:35
you do okay I said it doesn't happen as it doesn't happen by itself if I want I
00:30:43
can be loving if I want I can be joyful if I want I can be sad yes when somebody
00:30:50
dear to you is no more you allow yourself that but do you stop doing
00:30:56
anything no that sense of purpose you have the most popular question that young people
00:31:02
ask me is is about passion and purpose they they've been indoctrinated by Society to think that they have this one
00:31:08
purpose and their big issue is they can't seem to find it so like an Easter egg they they're going in Hunt of what's
00:31:14
my purpose how do I know once I've reached my purpose for people that are working now in jobs um listening to this
00:31:21
on their way on the tube to work how what is this this subject of purpose and
00:31:26
passion what do I commit my life to how do we go about answering that see if you get absolutely committed to your purpose
00:31:34
you will be called a fanatic if you are willing to do whatever it takes to
00:31:39
achieve that you will be called a terrorist so there is no purpose to life
00:31:46
if you if you are not a vested interest and you can be not a vested interest
00:31:53
only when you're joyful by your own nature that how you are is determined by
00:31:59
you so this is the fundamental you have to set that your experience of life is
00:32:05
determined by you when I say experience of life people are always thinking
00:32:11
experiences happen because of external stimuli no if you dream of a tiger you
00:32:16
can experience fear isn't it you can you can dream of somebody beautiful and
00:32:22
experience love yes or no so I'm saying all experiences cause from within you
00:32:28
Human Experience happens from within you never from outside of you there may be a stimuli now this stimuli means just like
00:32:36
this you know uh you're too young to know these things there used to be wax
00:32:41
all cars in this country they always used to park it in a slope like this because morning you need two people to
00:32:48
push that car in the morning in 50s and 60s I'm saying later on they had crank start you
00:32:56
need one person person to do that otherwi you can't get your car started today all cars are self
00:33:03
start I'm asking you your peace your joy
00:33:08
your love your blissfulness would you want to keep it on self start or push
00:33:14
out self I wouldn't want it to rely on this is the question you're asking repeatedly you want Push do don't be on
00:33:22
pusht inner experiences are always in self start outside world will never
00:33:27
happen 100% our way little bit your way a little bit my way a little bit somebody else's way and that's how it
00:33:33
should be because everything happened your way where the hell do I go it doesn't happen your way or my way
00:33:40
it's fine it is only fine if you're joyful by
00:33:46
your own nature but if your happiness depends on what happens on the outside
00:33:51
then you being happy is a remote possibility I want to be happy happy on
00:33:57
my own nature I I hear what you said however
00:34:02
I'm going to walk out of this room and I don't know something's going to annoy me
00:34:07
maybe my words are even wrong but then I'll immediately snap back into the sort of unconscious I don't know dismay or
00:34:15
despair how does one go about like the first step in becoming Happy by our own
00:34:21
nature do you think your life is worthwhile your life is worth
00:34:27
investing about 32 hours of focus time upon it your life yes if you think so
00:34:33
you should do that this is what the process that I have called it as inner
00:34:39
engineering 32 hours of focus time book is just a a large brocher you
00:34:46
know because there is a practice involved when I say a practice a simple
00:34:52
practice which only 21 minutes of practice to teach this 21 minute practice we take 32 hours of orientation
00:35:00
because without that it won't happen you need to understand how the mechanism of
00:35:05
your own thoughts why are they hit if your hand is punching you in the face why is it doing that you need to
00:35:11
understand otherwise just holding it down is not the answer this is the most sophisticated machine on the planet have
00:35:18
you read the users manual the users manual for my body for yourself as a
00:35:24
life no I didn't know there was one so when do you want to do it towards the end of the life is when people think
00:35:30
they should do it it's like you got yourself your iPad should you read the users manual in the first three days or
00:35:37
after 3 years when you're getting rid of the machine when I first get it yes but nobody gives me the uses manual for for
00:35:44
myself no no the thing is it's inbuilt you have to just pay attention how do I do that so we'll do one thing right now
00:35:50
shall we do a simple experiment with this you'll have to do this with your eyes closed okay but right now look at
00:35:56
me Dam afterward you can do you you place your palms like this facing down upon your thigh gently placed so you
00:36:03
will start breathing slightly deeper 10 15% deeper than normal don't do it yet hello yeah and as you're doing it I will
00:36:11
say switch then you turn your hands around gently upon your thigh like this
00:36:17
and again when I say switch get back this way okay in these two conditions
00:36:22
something about your breath will change I will also give you a clue what could be Chang changing where the air is
00:36:28
filling up in your lungs how it fills up something about it will change or let me put it this way the maximum expansion
00:36:35
and contraction in which part of the chest is it happening this way which way
00:36:40
this way which way just notice that just hold your palms facing down close your eyes Okay and when you say switch turn
00:36:46
my hands over right yes breathe slightly deeper not very forcefully just 10 15%
00:36:54
more notice where the maximum expansion and contraction is
00:37:02
happening switch switch
00:37:13
again please open your eyes there's some difference yeah what is
00:37:20
it uh in what part I feel how I feel no what I breathing where is the maximum
00:37:26
expans T and contraction when you holding two different postures um I felt
00:37:31
like my my chest and my belly were expanding more when I switch when I was switching
00:37:38
I felt like I was just getting more air into my body let me tell you what's happening you can experiment by yourself
00:37:44
and see when you have your hands facing together facing down with all fingers
00:37:49
together maximum expansion contraction is happening in the lower low of the lung yeah yeah if you turn it around it
00:37:55
shift to the middle Lo of the lung a middle Lo being much larger you
00:38:01
feel more but actually it's the shift so I'm saying just by turning your hands
00:38:07
around like this the very way you breathe is altering itself it's not just the breath the very way your life energy
00:38:14
function is altering itself how many times in a day unconsciously are
00:38:21
you now you're setting your energies into turmoil and hoping to be peaceful
00:38:27
it will not work and I'm happy it doesn't work because if it works for you
00:38:32
by doing wild things and still everything is peaceful and wonderful within you then what is the use of my
00:38:38
life spending a whole lifetime paying attention to every little thing that's happening here I'm saying if you can
00:38:45
drive blind on the London streets and not hit anything a good driver will feel insulted isn't
00:38:53
it that's all I'm saying but how do we learned the use manual for ourselves
00:38:58
though so you know is it it's not something we go and read in a book you say the problem is this all your sense
00:39:04
organs are Outward Bound because they are survival
00:39:13
instruments your sense organs your ability to see hear smell taste and
00:39:18
touch are essentially your survival instruments life cannot be enhanced by
00:39:24
them you can only Survive by better if you see better than me you can survive better than me if you hear better than
00:39:30
me you can survive better than me but this life will not feel enhanced by
00:39:36
perceiving more through the five sense organs and they're all Outward Bound you
00:39:41
can see me can you roll your eyeballs Inward and scan yourself no you can hear
00:39:47
that so much happening in the body can you hear that no so all your sense organs are only to
00:39:55
perceive what's happening around around you not to perceive what's within you so to perceive within you you need to turn
00:40:02
inward that needs a little because it's not survival something has to be done
00:40:08
you know how to write English language yeah yes to learn that damn 26 alphabets
00:40:13
you took some effort isn't it hello yeah it did it took some effort and it took
00:40:20
some guidance because anything that's beyond survival needs striving that striving is missing in the societ
00:40:27
there was a time there was a time where in the civilization that we refer refer
00:40:34
to as Hindustan or Barat or today being the political country is being called as India in this culture 70% of the people
00:40:42
were invested in inward well-being because of that they became super enhanced because of that
00:40:49
enhancement they became so wealthy in everything rich in mathematics rich in
00:40:54
astronomy rich in business rich in in trade rich in Industry it was the richest nation on the planet just 300
00:41:00
years ago see everybody from here whether it's English or French or
00:41:06
Portuguese everybody went to India you think in search of poverty in search of
00:41:13
wealth isn't it MH it became like that effortlessly without conquering anybody
00:41:20
without having large armies because people invested in enhancing themselves
00:41:26
and I'm telling you if you try to enhance your activity without enhancing
00:41:32
yourself you'll only die of stress this is what is happening to unfortunately whole lot of CEOs I'm concerned about
00:41:39
this because a CEO means you gave something that is important that needs
00:41:45
to happen in the world into his hands his or her hands and if they are stressed out what misery will they
00:41:51
create for the rest of the world it's very important that journey to taking care of
00:41:58
ourselves like I had to learn how to read a book or to learn language no I'm saying anything that's not survival yeah
00:42:05
will not come naturally you have to strive this Society has to create that longing being peaceful and joyful is
00:42:13
more important for a human being's experience of life than me being better
00:42:18
than you that TR that orientation the society has to create isn't
00:42:24
it I agree I agree it just
00:42:30
[Music] seems Seems like there's such a powerful narrative coming from social media
00:42:36
magazines TV movies that are yes yes I'm not denying that making us individualistic and it's not even
00:42:43
individualistic it's always about me being better than you it started from the kindergarten school there itself
00:42:49
they told you I am first rank you are third rank from there it started I am better than
00:42:55
you so the whole life is about being better
00:43:00
than somebody means essentially what it means is I enjoy your
00:43:06
failures does it sound like joy to you or sickness to you sounds like a sickness it is a
00:43:12
sickness we're building it to our children right from day one what about trauma I was thinking about early trauma
00:43:20
and how that drives us to be drives us away from a life of
00:43:28
contentment drives us towards you know a life where we might end up in prison or we might be dysfunctional in other ways
00:43:35
because of something early that happened when we were seven years old you know could be a small thing or a big trauma
00:43:41
that has orientated us to be greedy or to be selfish or to be in the worst case
00:43:46
maybe to hurt others see essentially you're finding an excuse for the way you are which you
00:43:52
yourself don't like see if something unpleasant happened to
00:44:00
you you have two choices either you can become wise or you can become wounded
00:44:09
choose more unpleasant things happen to happen to you than anybody else you must be the wisest man
00:44:16
soonest no you choose to be wounded because you carry this wound like a badge and so that you can cause the same
00:44:23
wound to others what's the point when you know the pain of it how do you do the same thing to
00:44:29
me but it becomes a survival technique to there is no excuse
00:44:35
the thing is just this instead of intelligently consciously responding to
00:44:40
life you are reacting like any other creature that's
00:44:47
all so something bad happens to me when I'm seven years old and these neurons
00:44:52
fire in my brain that make me react bad this is all WhatsApp uh
00:44:58
neurology whoever told you these things right now we have a research center in
00:45:04
Harvard Medical School in Beth Israel Hospital okay right now in October this month on 17th to 21st we have a
00:45:12
International Conference there in these five six years of its existence they have done a lot of study one thing they
00:45:18
found was I can't go into all the scientific things I'm not a scientist but one important thing is
00:45:26
this simple 21 minute practice I'm talking about people who did this for over 6 to 8 weeks the endoc canonizes in
00:45:34
their system is 70% higher than what is considered to be
00:45:39
normal what is normal for a happy person it's 70% higher than that you know
00:45:44
what's endoc canaban no you know what's cannabis yeah yes every human being has
00:45:51
cannabis receptors this doesn't mean that this body was created to smoke
00:45:57
cannabis you are supposed to produce it when you don't produce it you try to substitute from outside that's a
00:46:03
different matter let me not go into that aspect but 70% higher what this means is
00:46:10
it is about 23% higher than what happens in sexual orgasm or extreme
00:46:16
exercise simply sitting here so if you felt like that every moment of your life
00:46:23
do I have to tell you don't Rob don't kill don't do this no no that's all you
00:46:30
need to we've not fixed that one thing see when you were a child when you were 5 years of
00:46:36
age you were just bubbling with Joy by your own nature isn't it somebody had to
00:46:42
work hard to make you unhappy at that time but now somebody has to work hard
00:46:48
to make you happy what happened to the equation if you had really grown up five
00:46:56
years if you're that happy by the time you're 31 you should have been
00:47:02
ecstatic isn't
00:47:07
it people typically do feel more miserable as they age they feel more stressed and more stubborn and more
00:47:13
bitter no they're carrying more baggage that's all as you'll know this podcast is sponsored by H and one of my favorite
00:47:20
products that they've ever created is their hu Daily Greens it actually performed so well when we released it
00:47:26
that it sold out completely and the only thing I'm back here to say to you guys is that it's now back in stock it tastes
00:47:33
amazing and it's actually got 91 vitamins and minerals and whole food ingredients in one scoop it's nice not
00:47:40
to have to think about taking lots of different pills and vitamins in the morning I can just take this and I know
00:47:45
that I'm giving my body a good dose of all the vitamins and minerals that it needs every morning it's a lot better tasting than having to force down some
00:47:52
of the other green powders I've tried and it's really reassuring to to know that I'm looking after my body properly
00:47:57
unfortunately and currently this product is only available in the US so anyone in

00:49:18
conditions apply you said something earlier about um humans are the most intelligent species on Earth aren't we
00:49:24
you have a doubt about that for now art artificial intelligence I wanted to ask you about this no artificial
00:49:31
intelligence we'll come to that first establish this artificial intelligence is created
00:49:37
by human beings isn't it yes then how did it become more intelligent than
00:49:43
me uh read more books no
00:49:49
see everything everything that's man-made here in this world came out of human
00:49:56
intelligence and it's still not a full expression of our intelligence still there are many many more things we can
00:50:02
do you are thinking mind means intelligence means just intellectual
00:50:08
process because of that you think the phone is smarter than you because it has better memory and it has better
00:50:14
Computing Computing process so all those who are on one dimensional intelligence
00:50:20
which is intellect which is a European problem if you ask me you you were exited but still
00:50:26
you European you know m in culture I know you brexit it
00:50:32
but so it's in Europe that suddenly human
00:50:37
thought became very Eliz why it became like this is the
00:50:43
dogmatic religious beliefs which did not allow people to think for themselves if
00:50:49
you thought anything other than what's written in the book you're dead they made this for a few centuries so
00:50:55
suddenly when they broke away from that and started thinking for themselves they suddenly thought this is Liberation and
00:51:02
they eiz human thought and we crafted the whole education system on the planet based on that today you're just using
00:51:10
one dimension of your intelligence which is intellect thought process is thought to be everything where one of them went
00:51:17
to the extent of saying I think so I exist what are the other dimensions of human intellect will come will come I'm
00:51:23
asking you do you exist because you think or because you exist you think
00:51:28
because I exist I think yeah you may think if you want or you may not think it's up to you so because you exist Your
00:51:35
Existence is important Your Existence is it because you're seeing me that you exist even if you close your eyes you
00:51:42
still exist isn't it yeah if you don't hear anything you still exist so your
00:51:48
existence is fundamental these are all activities of seeing hearing smelling
00:51:53
thinking emoting these are all activities of your existence the life that you are but we got it all upside
00:52:00
down and how how do you expect it to work because another aspect is if I ask
00:52:06
you a simple question would you want your intellect to be sharp or blunt what's your answer sharp
00:52:13
sharp if I give you a sharp instrument let's say we give you a very sharp
00:52:19
knife now you must be very conscious have you move your hand if you're little
00:52:24
la la laa kind la la la la la if you do interes will come out yes or no
00:52:31
yes we don't give a knife to a child's hand only because of this because his hand is not steady not because knife is
00:52:38
dangerous never in the history has it ever happened a knife jumped up and
00:52:43
stabbed somebody it never happened believe me I've been following the
00:52:49
news it is only the hand that whals it it can cut a vegetable and make your
00:52:54
meal or it can do surgery and save somebody's life or stab somebody and take their
00:53:01
life all these things the hand can do not the knife so right now your
00:53:06
intellect is a shop instrument once you have a shop instrument you must know how to hold it
00:53:12
this is simply not there everybody's cutting themselves up and they think something is wrong with life you can
00:53:18
call the stress anxiety misery whatever you want essentially you have a Shar
00:53:24
instrument and you're unconscious so you're cutting yourself up well that instrument that sharp instrument in a
00:53:30
world where we're building machines that have the intelligence of a million
00:53:36
people and those machines can make decisions so theoretically the machine can now decide to send a missile at a
00:53:44
country on its own because of but if we had the intelligence we wouldn't make a Melle yeah but we we have and this is
00:53:52
what I'm concerned about is I've sat here with all these AI experts and they're talking about the issue they're telling me they're not going to be able
00:53:57
to contain this artificial intelligence uh see let me tell you an
00:54:04
example I've spoken about this before I don't know if I should repeat that but let me say this to you I remember this
00:54:11
very clearly it was 1972 you didn't
00:54:18
exist and for the first time they installed a Gantry in the port in Mumbai
00:54:25
called the mazagon docks in the docks they put up a Gantry till then as it was
00:54:30
done everywhere in the world maybe a little further back there were labor who were going up
00:54:38
into the ships and getting the sacks out and unloading those days the largest vessels were about
00:54:45
125 125,000 to 150,000 tons they would take 24 to 28 days to unload one
00:54:54
vessel so they installed a Gantry so all of them went on strike a big strike
00:55:00
which paralyzed Mumbai City at that time it was Bombay it got completely
00:55:06
paralyzed because all the labor went on strike I'm sure many such labor strikes
00:55:11
have happened here every time a new machine was installed people went on strike because their argument was if you
00:55:17
put this machine this is going to unload a ship in one day what are we supposed to do with our muscle we got this muscle
00:55:25
now what are we supposed to do they went on strike this is what now the professors academics all the
00:55:31
intellectual people who only invested in their intellect or now saying what are
00:55:37
we supposed to do the machine will do everything it's fantastic isn't it all the machines are doing all the hard work
00:55:42
for you but but when the machines can think
00:55:49
the machines could make a decision that they want to do things that AR only machines think
00:55:57
do only machines think only machines think only if you have reduced yourself
00:56:02
to become a mechanical thing you're only thinking about life otherwise there's a
00:56:08
way of opening yourself up to life and experience the magic of life right now you're trapped in the logic of life when
00:56:16
I say the logic of Life logic is the foundation it's very very important but suppose in this building
00:56:24
we make you in the foundations today it's called basement but it's actually a dungeon we used to
00:56:30
lock up people there or animals or something if you want somebody to have a
00:56:35
horrible life you put them in the foundations that's all I'm saying if you live with the foundations of your life
00:56:41
which is your logic you will live a bad life no matter where you are even if I
00:56:46
put you up in a palace you still suffer are you scared at all are you concerned
00:56:52
at all humans have made nuclear bombs now they've made made this thing called artificial intelligence which is accelerating are you concerned at all
00:56:59
that it'll get into the wrong hands and people who are artificial intelligence means at least the human error will be
00:57:05
taken out I'm happy about that the human error yeah there are so many idiots who can do anything halfrain people get to
00:57:12
the top of the nation they could do anything at least artificial intelligence means there'll be a proper
00:57:18
process before we launch anything so you're happy about artificial intelligence I'm happy about any Dev
00:57:25
velopment because essentially how I see is let me tell you my experience first
00:57:30
experience of an intelligent machine I was probably 12 13 years old I was uh in
00:57:35
my ninth standard and I went to school only when I had to most of the time I got lost on
00:57:41
the way but when I went I thought this was just an unnecessary nonsense in my
00:57:46
life so I spent most of the time in the library and barely went to the classroom
00:57:51
like me so one day somebody brought a flatbed
00:57:57
calculator maybe you not even seen one like that you all doing on the phone and iPad flatbed calculator is most of it is
00:58:04
flat one little screen like this we've never seen anything like this so you say you know 185 into 365
00:58:14
took answer is right there I looked at it and I felt really insulted why the hell are they tormenting me in a
00:58:21
mathematics class when this machine is there why can't they make one machine for chemistry one machine for physics
00:58:27
one machine for every damn thing I enjoyed swimming in The Lakes I enjoyed sitting on the trees I enjoyed loitering
00:58:34
around all over the countryside I learned my life like that
00:58:39
but this nonsense why am I going through this when this silly machine can do this
00:58:45
at last my dream is coming true I'm very happy everything that human beings can
00:58:52
do see this silly mentality what will happen to our jobs why do you need a
00:58:58
job all you need is food to survive suppose everybody on the planet is fed I
00:59:04
know those guys idiots will become drunkards and drug addicts that's a different matter but if everybody's fed
00:59:11
and you don't have to worry about your living this is when human beings can do something absolutely fantastic right now
00:59:19
they're spending their life just to earn a living when will they make a life out of
00:59:24
themselves what you said sounds almost identical to
00:59:30
what the founder and the CEO of open AI who made chat GPT which is leading the
00:59:36
leading the way at the moment said literally yesterday uh in a interview he did he said if we can get people to a
00:59:42
point where they don't have to worry about tedious jobs then they can live these Blissful lives we'll do one thing
00:59:50
we'll remove all the Earth moving machines and everything give everybody a pickaxe and a crow bar and a spade let
00:59:56
them all go back to the mines and construction everywhere let them start doing physically will they protest or no
01:00:01
they will protest Ah that's what will happen in 50 years time if you ask them to multiply they'll protest that's what
01:00:09
I said the moment first moment I saw the calculator I said what this is this nonsense why am I doing all this when I
01:00:16
can do Tok to to here the the counterargument to that is that people need a sense of like purpose something
01:00:24
to you need a false purpose to live because you have not even made an attempt to understand what this life is
01:00:30
about what its potential is about you need a false purpose you go and dig in the mind and it's your purpose and then
01:00:37
you produce children two children putting bread on the table is a big purpose to your life silliest way to
01:00:42
live for a human being that's how most people live unfortunately that's the kind of world
01:00:49
we have created and the world that if you could wave a one now and create a different World which I know you're
01:00:55
trying to do in fact you're Bu you're building a a city in America right
01:01:01
you're part of a project this is why I find it so fascinating because I look at the way
01:01:07
we've designed society and we're so it's so stubborn in the way we've designed it
01:01:12
I often wonder if we're going to have to go back to a blank canvas and redesign it again from the ground up that's never
01:01:18
going to happen where is a blank canvas how do you create a blank canvas that's never going to happen the desert somewhere you have to slowly see the
01:01:25
thing is this happened can I tell you a joke
01:01:30
please one day a cardiologist a famous cardiologist a doctor went because he
01:01:37
was driving an Aston Martin and it gives trouble you
01:01:42
know he went to the garage and the mechanic said uh yes
01:01:49
doctor leave the car here evening I'll have it ready the doctor took took the taxi and
01:01:55
went to the hospital and came back in the evening the mechanic had not even touched it then I said hey why is it not
01:02:02
already oh no doc this is this that tomorrow morning I'll have it ready for tomorrow morning he came car was not
01:02:10
ready said hey what are you trying to do why is it that you're not doing then
01:02:16
mechanic said huh see I fix your engine you pay me
01:02:23
500 but you fix somebody's heart and they pay you
01:02:28
50,000 why is that you fixing an engine I'm fixing an engine doctor said try to fix it when
01:02:35
it's running if you could demolish everything
01:02:42
and rebuild it's very easy the thing is you have to rebuild it when it's on that
01:02:47
is the whole challenge isn't it that goes for individual human being that goes for the society that goes for the
01:02:53
world we we have to rebuild it when it's still functioning after you demolish
01:02:58
means are you inviting a nuclear Holocaust so that later on we can rebuild it it's not a good idea no that's not
01:03:06
what we want and that's why the practice that you described yes matters because it
01:03:12
doesn't matter even if you're Manning a nuclear bomb let's say it's your job to press the button you waiting
01:03:18
there if you are miserable frustrated depressed even without a you may press
01:03:25
if it was in your hand sometimes it may happen but if you're joyful Blissful
01:03:31
naturally you look at see this is something people don't understand people think love brings them happiness it's
01:03:36
not true if you're very joyful you will look at look upon everything in a loving
01:03:41
manner because what you call is Joy love let me put it this way if your body becomes
01:03:49
pleasant we call this health you want it yes if it becomes very pleasant we call
01:03:56
it pleasure you want it yes if your mind becomes pleasant we call this peace you
01:04:04
want only to create pleasantness in your surroundings do you need the cooperation
01:04:10
of various people and many forces around you but to create pleasantness in your
01:04:16
body mind emotion and energy is 100% your business if you were the only
01:04:22
person on this planet would you know whether you're good or bad I wouldn't know so it is only by
01:04:29
comparison that you know that you're good but if you are the only person on this planet if you were joyful would you
01:04:35
know you're joyful yes that's important so you're saying focus on Joy and how we
01:04:41
feel versus good or bad no I don't I'm not saying focus on Joy I'm just saying
01:04:46
you understand this your interiority can happen 100% your way if
01:04:52
you are willing external things will not happen 100% our way we have to strive some
01:04:59
things happen our way many things don't happen our way but internally if you're happening your way you will keep
01:05:05
yourself very pleasant when you're pleasant we can expect Pleasant things from you when you're unpleasant I expect
01:05:13
Pleasant things from you where is it going to happen people in the name of religion in the Name of Love in the name
01:05:19
of caring they've done Terrible Things isn't it
01:05:25
most horrendous things have been
01:05:31
done a question I've often asked myself is am I you talked about like fake
01:05:37
purpose a second ago how do how do I know if the because when you interview
01:05:42
people and you say like what's your purpose or what's your mission they'll sit here and they'll give me lots of things right some of them might be I
01:05:48
want to help I'm just fooling around I have no Mission no no not you I'm saying you ask a kid on the the street what's
01:05:54
your mission younger kids these days will say they they want to save the world or they want to they want to be a public speaker or they want to be a
01:06:00
YouTuber H do you view those as fake Ambitions in that from confused people
01:06:07
see I did not say fake Ambitions the thing is you're making up a purpose to
01:06:14
bring some meaning to your life yeah what you need to understand is life is a
01:06:19
phenomena beyond all meanings meanings is an ailment of your mind only human
01:06:26
mind needs meanings sun comes up in the morning doesn't need a
01:06:32
meaning full moon out there doesn't need a meaning tired doesn't need a meaning
01:06:37
only place where you need a meaning is your head your mind needs a meaning why
01:06:44
have you seen this you've been at some point at least for moments you've been very joyful blissed out you've been at
01:06:52
that time do you ask what is is the meaning of life no no only when you're miserable
01:06:58
it's important so you create one problem and then you create another problem and another problem and you think it's a
01:07:04
solution no meaning is a serious problem meaning has become meaningful
01:07:11
for somebody only because they're in some way distressed the the process of
01:07:16
life and the experience of life has become burdensome why am I carrying this I want a meaning for the burden that I'm
01:07:23
bearing if life was a blissful process why would you care what is the meaning so when
01:07:29
people people must ask you all the time what's the meaning of life and you must then does that suggest that they are
01:07:36
absent of bliss see this meaning problem is a very Western problem in the Eastern
01:07:42
world we don't ask for meaning we are always looking for profoundness of
01:07:48
Life what's the difference the difference is digging deeper into
01:07:53
yourself and creating something around your head are two different things meaning is so
01:07:59
meaning is looking outside for a reason outside or inside doesn't matter but you're trying to build a psychological
01:08:06
solution to an existential reality and you have to accept that ex
01:08:12
existential reality the existential reality is you don't know where the hell you came from
01:08:18
and I don't know where I'm going and you don't know where you're going you just here for a brief amount of time and you
01:08:25
think you are the center of the world that means you must be very religious because it's the religious people who
01:08:31
went on propagating that this planet is the center of the universe though in
01:08:37
India for over 6,000 years people have known planet is round and it goes around
01:08:42
the Sun clearly there are drawings and there are books there are documents which clearly say that but people who
01:08:50
are following dogmatic religious processes they they propagated that this is the center of the
01:08:56
universe now will they say we said what is wrong and apologize for that no
01:09:02
because when I think I am the center of the universe I will be doing so many
01:09:08
idiotic things you must apologize if you are the one who taught me that
01:09:15
nonsense so life doesn't have a birth let me tell
01:09:21
you given mean this happened there was a Bishop in his tumul at that time it was
01:09:27
Constantinople you know I'm I mean I'm not trying to insult any Community but
01:09:33
this actually happened so I'm quoting the thing in 1924 this bishop was part of the Greek
01:09:40
Orthodox Church very Orthodox church and he's a bishop so all his life he's a man of
01:09:46
cloth he was there but being in his tumble you know all these exotic stories
01:09:52
come wafting AC across the Bosphorus from India about the mystics about the
01:09:58
yogis about many many things India is full of stories like this and for ages
01:10:04
these things have been coming and excited people to travel to the east all this stuff so he always wanted to go to
01:10:11
India and meet a real Yogi or a Mystic but being a man of cloth he
01:10:16
couldn't decide where he goes and doesn't go when he was over 60 years of age he got an opportunity to go to India
01:10:24
he went to Southern India and found a good guide who could guide him and the
01:10:29
guide took him and said see on this particular Mountain if you go this way this way this way he gave all the
01:10:34
landmarks if you go there there's a cave there there is a yogi that is a man you're looking for so our Bishop went
01:10:42
all the way up mountains are not kind to people who lived in churches or in indoors you know they don't care who you
01:10:49
are uh they trouble you so with great difficulty he went up when he went to
01:10:55
that place just outside the cave a yogi was sitting totally blissed out with his
01:11:00
eyes closed so you the bishop had heard that if you see a yogi you must
01:11:05
prostrate before him so he went down and he was not fit for those kind of postures but with great difficulty he
01:11:12
went down huffing puffing he stood up again hearing all the commotion the yogi
01:11:17
opened his eyes and smiled then the bishop asked can I ask you a question this is the first
01:11:23
introduction the yogi laughed and said well by all means you can ask a
01:11:29
question then the bishop asked what is life see as a human being you have the
01:11:37
intelligence to ask this question when you were 8 years of age well in your childishness you missed
01:11:44
it at least when you were 16 you should have asked definitely you have the intelligence to ask that question but
01:11:51
now you're well over 60 now you're asking what is life but it's okay it's
01:11:57
better late than never you know so when he said that Yogi went into
01:12:03
raptures life life is like the fragrance of
01:12:10
jasman you know upon the gentle Prince spring Breeze the bishop said what fragrance of
01:12:18
Jasmine upon gentle spring Breeze my teacher told me life is like a
01:12:23
thorn once it gets into you if you sit it hurts if you stand it hurts if you
01:12:29
lie down it hurts and you are saying it is like the fragrance of Jasmine upon gentle spring Breeze then the yogi
01:12:36
laughed and said well that's his life you must understand your experience
01:12:41
of life is determined by you it's your
01:12:51
choice the last thing I wanted to ask you about about is a campaign you've recently um been putting a lot of effort
01:12:57
into which is the save soil campaign I want to know why you're doing that and why that message in campaign is so
01:13:03
important for all of us one important element of why human beings will become
01:13:09
mentally ill in the next 15 to 20 years lot of people are estimating there may
01:13:15
not be a single family left without one mentally ill person at least that's what
01:13:20
they're saying so this mental illness why see one thing is in the last 100
01:13:29
years of industrial level of Agriculture one thing that's happened is we are only
01:13:34
seeing soil as a resource soil is not a resource it's your Source it is the
01:13:40
source of your life it is the largest living substance or system on the planet
01:13:46
if you take a handful of soil it has 8 to 10 billion organisms in it it is the
01:13:52
most intense tense life and the largest living system not just on the planet in the known universe it is the largest
01:13:59
living system but still over 80% of the nations are treating soil as a resource
01:14:04
which they think they can fix it by adding a chemical or take away chemical let me come to this very quickly what is
01:14:11
the problem see if today all the insects disappear from this
01:14:17
planet in another two and a half to four years all life on this planet including
01:14:23
you and me and plant life everything will be gone insects go away if all the
01:14:28
worms go away today in the next one and a half to two years or two and a half years all life on this planet will be
01:14:36
extinct if all the microbes go away we both of us disappear within the next few
01:14:42
seconds this is the reality they are the foundational life we are the cherry on
01:14:48
the cake right now average loss of microbial life is like this 20 7,000
01:14:54
species of organisms are going extinct per year 27,000 species are going
01:15:01
extinct per year at this rate it's estimated in the next 25 to 40 years we
01:15:07
will come to a place where it'll be very difficult for human beings to find basic
01:15:12
nourishment on the planet first thing that will collapse is your software that's what you're seeing in terms of
01:15:19
psychological ailments that's not the only reason all those things are there but the most important thing is lack of
01:15:26
nourishment just to give you a perspective some studies are been done
01:15:31
in California what they are saying is in 1920 if you ate one orange what
01:15:38
nutrients you got from that if you want that today you need to eat eight oranges
01:15:43
has there been a day when you ate eight oranges in a day no this goes for everything else you are eating empty
01:15:50
food which doesn't have richness just look at the Google Map don't don't go by what I say just look at the Google map
01:15:57
of the world how many green patches how many brown patches it is
01:16:06
terrifying we have a closing tradition on this podcast where the last guest leaves a question for the next guest not
01:16:11
knowing who they're going to leave the question for who was that guy can't tell you it's a
01:16:16
secret their question to to you not knowing who it was for they didn't know it was for you is what in your heart of
01:16:25
hearts matters to you I have only one heart that also I gave away long time
01:16:34
ago heart of hearts I don't have all those things I broke my heart into a
01:16:39
million pieces and threw it away in the world I live not because of my values I
01:16:47
live not because of my morality I live not because of some Commandments from somewhere I live live out of my
01:16:55
Humanity thank [Music]
01:17:20
you
