A Lesson From Guru Nanak - Sadhguru

Guru Nanak was traveling by foot one from village to village doing his offering his teachings to people are very compassionate and courageous men both ways and quite we like him because he's not one of those all the time smiling gently since he knows when to be hard when to be soft really so one day he happened to be a guest in a home of a very rich man in the area so when he was he was a guest in his house for a few days when he is living he gave this man a needle pursuing him he gave this needle and said you keep this with you sometimes when you see me you can give it back to me till then please keep it with you a needle not a golden one just a single knee the man took it and kept it with him then after the Guru land he told his wife the Guru gave me a needle and I am supposed to keep it in safekeeping and give it to him later the wife was little wiser than him usually they think they are say you fool why did you take an in from a guru if you take something from a man like him and suppose these are old men and if he dies and you don't get to give back this needle what will you do you will be dead forever taking a needle from a guru why did you take it you should not receive anything from a man like him what we offer is fine never take anything from a man like him and if he does and goes away you can't carry this needle to heaven and given this it is not possible to take the needle to have an entertaining day so you will be dead forever and ever and ever and you will not be able to wash off that one karma and it may mean a thousand lifetimes this is not a good thing just somehow find him and return it to him immediately so the man started taking behind the Guru the Guru walks fast but slowly after a couple of months the main character as to where he is and then he said my guru I don't want to care this little with me because just in case your old man if you die and I will be left in death forever and I know I cannot carry this needle to heaven and return it to you days so Google Nanak said so you know that you can't carry this needle to heaven you know that right he said yes then when you know this that you can't carry a needle what are all these things that you're accumulating you will not be able to carry any of that if you can't carry a needle definitely you can't carry anything else then the man got the message he fell at his feet and he went back home sold everything that he can sell just kept what is needed for his family for him and his family and the rest because the whole society was poverty stricken so he went about building whatever was needed for the well-being of the people around all these this people were living in poverty he was going on accumulating the world is a limited split space this planet is a limited resource if each individual goes about accumulating endlessly all that can happen is try all that can happen is pain unless every individual somewhere fixes it within himself okay this is my deal beyond this I would not go rest of my capabilities I will use it for everybody's well-being if this is does not come in a human being he's a disaster himself and the world the disaster on this planet is not earthquake not volcano not a tsunami the true disaster is human ignorance this is the only disaster ignorance is the only disaster enlightenment is the that's really not the solution we see so spiritual process if it has to become alive this is not about renunciation or this is just about living sensibly wrong words have been put by external scholars there is no such word as renunciation in any of the Indian languages if you don't know this yes there is no such word as enunciation in Sanskrit language it is the outside scholars will come and say oh this man is renounced no he's embraced the whole universe and you think he's renounced that is your understanding because you cannot think of life without possessing this is this one part of the planet is mind without that you cannot live somebody has embraced the whole universe so he did not think he has to gather it because of all the stars belong to him the whole galaxy belongs to him he did not think it is necessary for him to gather something and keep it in his bag or in his bank he did not arise he did not occur to him this is not Annunciation so understanding life from an inner perspective not from an objective sense because objectively whatever you perceive is only good enough for survival you need a subjective perception of life [Music] [Applause] [Music]
