DO THIS To Organize Your Mind & ACHIEVE ANYTHING You Want! | Sadhguru & Lewis Howes

human being is a tremendous possibility if you do not know how to harness this possible possibility every possibility will become a problem welcome everyone to the school of greatness podcast I'm super honored and grateful to have such guru in the house virtually thank you so much for being here I appreciate it yes I've we were just talking about how we have similar lives crossing from across the world you've been to my home state many times in Ohio and Columbus you're a big fan of aviation and I've been near your city as well I've been to Chennai in India actually a few years ago I went to study meditation in India and became I guess a meditation instructor I don't know how much you consider it since I only went for a few weeks to practice but I had in my in my path of learning and educating myself on how to master the inner engineering that we all have so I'm super grateful for you because you continue to stand for peace you continue to stand for awakening consciousness and for living a better life and I love the fact that you are a symbol of childlike energy in the world fun play and like well and others fun now what happened to them exactly I love that I mean 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 say 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 miss us 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 the end of the world settle there out here yes they thought they're the center of the universe so this misunderstanding makes them believe as they grow up or as a 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 reverses 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 are 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 is 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 backseat 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 are 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 til death knocks on their door they don't realize that this is not it and and you know 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 all the time you're a motorcycle not just that motorcycle I live yeah yes now if you do not know this I just released a book on depth really dude do you know this yeah it's a best-seller in India right now Wow here in the USA yet I gotta 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 are releasing another book so this has been stalled in u.s. we are releasing a book on Karma I did 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 mmm they don't realize we die 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 their prioritize their life in much better way than the way they're doing it right now this is a fundamental death 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 one more thing that is not necessary for yourself or anybody around you and because people think they're forever they're 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 one's rest so well when life is taken out of them as if the only curse was life what does that mean the rest so well you mean sleep so well or live so well that you feel restless or 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 pee place is it is it more about our thoughts is it more about our our heart our soul our Karma 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 weight fullness 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'll naturally wear itself out so it's important that you run cool so if you run a tea grunning 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 most people who are practicing inner engineering practices their pulse rate is somewhere between 45 to 65 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 certain 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 there was a time 3 days and 3 nights if I don't sleep I will still be perfectly normal still doing all my activity all night I will drive next day whole day I will teach all night I will drive and again I will teach like this 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 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 he's getting lazy are you getting lazy Wow yeah I think I did a 5-mile run yesterday and my average heart rate was over a hundred sixty five so I wonder if I could I wonder if I can do it 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 the important thing is see how easily oxygen and nutrients are distributed to the cellular level that will determine see this has 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 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 by cobra 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 little bit of anxiety he will go for you if you don't show any he's 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're very meditative we say ok let's do the Cobra do you do that test with people I love you I'm really enjoying your inner engineering course right now I'm going through and I'm really enjoying it ok you have a quote I think I'm gonna 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 50% of our time available because the other 50% is with our faculties and with sleep and for many years we learn things the content that we only use 1% is what I remember you saying what do you mean by this only what you perceive you know the rest is imagination see 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 are 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 to 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 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 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 where 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 if you have a PhD I know I think I need to experience it as well if you just study it on me ya know that is that is not experience it's perception mm-hmm you are you 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 are 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 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 had Corona and then people feel like they're suffering they're angry they're they feel unjust with a lot of different things that are happening what is missing in the world see talking about the situations in America America has an unfortunately very cruel history whether whether it concerns the Native Americans or the African Americans today there's a very cruel history mm-hmm by trying to put it under the carpet it'll keep popping up we have to come to terms with it hmm 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 say 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 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 essential another set of people think that 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 regret or you think to yourself wow that was pretty that was pretty stupid of me to do or have you always been this enlightened 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 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 I just go through life not necessarily I would not say it is necessarily so because today it is become fashionable with all these management gurus and all saying you must learn from your mistakes you must learn for mistakes that means you must keep on doing mistakes I don't learn from your mistakes I would rather live a life where I don't do any mistakes life is so brief you do a bunch of mistakes and then you will learn and where will you use it in the grave stakes 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 people talk about 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 our accurate that is in your in your mind or your in your practice and philosophy but what what is suffering and why do we have it so much say there are two faculties in a human being which are unique to human beings only no other creatures have this 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 checkout with any suffering human being they are suffering what happened five years ago ten years ago or their 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 memories so give it 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 earthworms are very go 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 mm-hmm if you do not harness your faculties the way you should then it becomes a problem how come this has happened to us well your name sounds French I don't know and you went to Pondicherry you French background not that I'm aware of I don't think so English in Welsh in Italian okay but your name sounds French a little bit Louis house yeah I'm not sure okay but you went to Pondicherry which is a French place yes I did yes anyway anyway Englishmen called Charles Darwin you heard of that guy of course you have no problem with him in Ohio because we come from Tennessee we're in Tennessee that's why I'm telling you so Charles Darwin said something like this I'm simplifying it oversimplifying it but something like this a goat could have become a giraffe or 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 hmm so quickly that anthropologists are looking for a missing link which they have not found actual difference that 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 physiologically physiologically that's how close we are to a chimpanzee but in terms of our intelligence and awareness we are worlds apart from a chimpanzee 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 here exactly yes 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 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 so happy now sorry go ahead please please you know so how do we maximize or expand our perception see 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 where they 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 yeah yeah but my you have the curiosity of a child that's why they bring you so they were asking me such guru you have so much influence in the government why can't you make marijuana legal for us so this is over ten fifteen thousand people in Bangalore City and it's a open-air thing I can smell the smoke they all gathered and they saying 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 load 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 are 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 toned 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 in a platform so they don't know how to handle their own intelligence you can call it tension stress anxiety misery whatever essentially your intelligence has turned against you that is all it is mMmmm so much to unpack here so when we have emotions thoughts feelings emotions of anger resentment from something happen 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 wait what's your ideas on thoughts and feeling and emotions you must punch a windowpane or a wall better a stone wall is good you feel about 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 alright so see first of all people are assuming that anger is happening to them more 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're creating misery 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 it's it's yeah because we perceive something and then we something else something else missed you millet 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 the 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% 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 he's in this the worst form of slavery yeah so this is the liberation that humanity needs to work out 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 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 everyday 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 were to do is when you say purpose intention mindful see this 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 working there I'm just walking nothing happens because see right now your hands are there suppose you're one hand starts jumping like this oh let's say my hand starts jumping like this what will you think you think Sadhguru has some kind of it isn't 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 this you will think I am maybe mr. Parkinson's is visiting me or something like that sure so your mind is jumping although all over the place why is that not a lament I'm asking your only comfort ease other people cannot see it isn't in I guess they see it through the manifestation of you being anxious or tense or stress or angry or no 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 it an ailment 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 no no the P the P is just filling up in the bladder it's not jumping all over the place catch you catch you if it jumps all the place that is an ailment that's Rama yes correct right now suppose let me take a worse example so pull your hand starts beating you in the face that's a Naomi 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 yes so let us not think anger happens to us a 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 life is not fair to anybody life is simply rolling it's for you to learn to ride it sometimes we are in uncomfortable situation some for sometimes we're in comfortable situations sometimes we are in situations where we know exactly what to do in sometimes we're in situations where we don't know what to do sometimes somebody else is controlling the situation sometimes you are 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 hmm 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're free from suffering when you're 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 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 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 is 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 died sex 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 so if if you are 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 mm-hmm that's all that's happening only one dimension of intelligence within us in yogic way of looking at things we look at - sixteen parts hmm 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 sitting in Los Angeles right now half the people are wearing tattered clothes maybe they use the knife to stitch their jeans mm exactly 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 you 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 hmm wait okay here's a here's a question for you when you when was the last time that you've felt anger or resentment and actually expressed it just thinking of getting angry with you just now perfect bring it I love that the thing is Lewis I I did not give this privilege to anybody that somebody can make me happy somebody can make me unhappy somebody can make me 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 the 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 of 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 yes because I was I was on this binge of what is justice and injustice huh so once you start looking what is justice and injustice just about everything in the world looks unjust everything makes you internal thing yeah yeah everything anything just 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 unjust 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 wait when did you shift and how did you come to that realization that this no longer works for you in your life it doesn't work for anybody that's true for you personally when did you realize that reason why people think anger is some kind of a virtue because they say righteous anger all right right now America is sitting with anger and they think it's righteous anger this is simply because it takes some horrible thing to stimulate them into action this is not enough love in your heart you 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 our zeal to interaction right now this propelling yourself into action with anger how long will you keep it up yeah you're tired yes 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 everything might not have changed but you would have made a difference that's the way the world works mmm so how I'm man 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 this whole moment what you're seeing as inner engineering is a moment from religion to responsibility in a way mmm 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'm here in Tamilnadu if I look up and looking at looking up in one direction if you look up you are looking up in another direction so my up is different Europe is different and by tomorrow morning again my up will be yours Europe will be mine it will be 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 knocked somewhere in the cosmos decide 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 is somewhere up there because you can't see here he must be up there now of course women are claiming why not it'd be a woman in India we sorted these problems out there we have man gods where woman 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 force 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 mm-hmm 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 so lace is one thing solutions for life is a different thing mmm so one first thing that we must decide is those who are in extreme states of poverty war other kinds of misery impose upon them only for them you must give solace 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 who 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 problem 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 your five years of age were you may miserable or joyful and if somebody had to make you take the joy out of you by poking you it's something otherwise I 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 reverse 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 comes better it becomes everything becomes better only human beings are saying or childhood was so fantastic my adulthood is misery why this must be the best time the old age must be the most fantastic time but I'm here what I'm here to say is we've allowed 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 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 Z 163 is all right because you've 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 month do not think about a monkey that's what I am 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 - 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 is only addition and multiplication hmm whatever you try to do only more will happen there are no brakes on it all three pedals are throttle mmm 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 I know I'll always want to ask and continue to learn and improve in my life and I know my audience will want to ask as well but I want to I want a respectful time and finish with a few questions this is called the three truths I asked this question to ever guess that I have on at the end it's a hypothetical question so bear the three truths a truth hypothetical question only one well okay perfect the well here's the question if you can share with yours if it's 1 or 3 imagine you have lived your life fully and and you've gone off to do everything you want to do you live 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 truth well I'm anyway planning to do that what you said take all the books and videos and everything [Laughter] 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 [Laughter] 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 doesn't take books and videos and stuff it'll anyway live one 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 their will 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 secret okay perfect very different doors to the same building different doors the same door I got it I want to 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 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 it gets access to this because this way for them to consume one thing is right now if you are if you are a frontline worker working for the coab it virus then it's offered free to everybody otherwise it's offered at half price because the virus situation so millions of people are making use of it they should go to in engineering community in engineering dot-com inner engineering comm 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 it 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 studies that everyday 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 that there will be a series of practices that one can learn in one session which will enhance the immune system here we have taught 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 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 you some people are immune to happiness like if you have more happiness your immune system would be increase as well so definitely 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 fuse you know a few horrible 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 mmm so it's rampant in Chennai is this 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 Cova Dwyers but it has something to do with enhancing your immune system your system functions better one simple thing that in 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 connected to the earth in somewhere believe me your renewal immune system will work very very well lovingly if you handy soil you must call it mother soil not dirt okay mm-hmm and you handle it you will see your immune system will go up this is something we have completely disregarded all on whatever if you are a woman you are on three three or six inch heel if you're a man you are 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 just have 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 mm-hmm if you mix a little bit of turmeric in warm water along with honey and drink it three to five times a day Wow 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 and there is a simple practice which we can give to you you can put it on your caste broadcast just called see McCrea see McCrea it just takes 12 minutes to do it this will immediately enhance the immune system I would say within within 2 weeks of practice there will be a significant improvement in the immune system Wow everybody stepping out from the lock down 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 will connect with your team after and by the way do you have a podcast Sadhguru the world needs to hear your voice on on audio as well I know you have a big youtube following in social media but I'm happy to connect with your team later too 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 I'll ask the US team to get in touch with you please report in yes of course my final before I ask my final question said girl 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 disease it 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 rippling into in so many lives and so I just really acknowledge you for the gift that you are and and all you do to serve humanity in a big way and my my final question for you is what I asked everyone at the end as well as what is your definition of greatness see we used to print a brochure for in engineering programs we would say inner engineering from ordinary to extraordinary so these are physical programs at that time and I am doing this after one or two days they would come in our set guru 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 is no greater phenomena then 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 allow your inclusiveness to direct your actions is it right wrong is it successful the whole lot of self appointed you know advisers around me who keep saying said guru for what you have you could make billions of dollars you could do this you could do that what are you doing said what do I do with billion dollars huh I want seven point six billion people what do I do with billion 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 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 I love that well hopefully next time you're in Los Angeles we'll be able to have some food and I'll pay for your meal for you and hopefully when I come to India we can come back to you you have to pay my for my food because every day somebody pays for my food I got you hopefully and maybe we'll meet up and dating some someday if you go back to the museum why not Dayton will be good it's been years since I went there so girl thank you so much for your time if your wisdom and thank you of course thank you very much 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 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 program so what you're doing is inspiring so thank you thank you I appreciate it so have a good one yeah thank you so much for watching this video and if you're looking for more greatness in your life and check out this next video right here and he is OK know for us whenever you okay and now fully a and alt and squeeze a little to that because it's nice that's oxygen in the brain
