One of the best talks by Sadhguru- Once you start listening; you won't stop !

the morning is cool but it's going to be a hot day just like life [Music] you don't go by what's there now what's there now is all important in terms of experience but what's there now is not an indication of what's going to be definitely not process of what we call as life most of the time except a few nasty mornings most of the time it starts off well at least for you not for your mother at least for you not that everybody's life something wrong has to happen some people have a good luck a good deal some people have a bad deal with the family money [Music] carriers business partners that you choose children that you bear and various other social financial emotional situations some people have a good deal some people have a bad deal a good deal or bad deal is not the point the point is is this life serving the purpose of you moving on because no matter how much you try to settle yourself into the comfort of what is there right now that is something within you longing to be something more no matter how much you think you are given up everything you renounced or you become lethargic enough to live in a limbo something within you wants to be little more and some plain whatever you know best either you can keep this longing just coming to terms with it this is how life is some fulfillment [Music] some frustration some gain some pain these are all the philosophies people prepared to service themselves to tranquilize themselves to stay half asleep you are right now they pulled you out of the bed and brought you even if they're beating the drum are you fully alive i want to hear some lively sound [Applause] so whenever i ask you are you on you say hmm [Applause] that's bad so uh bad deals can happen not necessarily because you're stupid not necessarily because you do something wrong bad deals can just happen it can just happen you know a leg can break a tooth can fall off head can crack somebody dare to do you may fall dead tomorrow morning bad deals can happen just like that not because of a mistake not because of something it can just happen it's happening to somebody every day every day somebody's having a bad deal isn't it so even if you try to do something very good even then bad deals can happen many people around you claim they know how it will come they wrote it on the paper they gave you that horror scope that horoscope which told you that this was the right man to marry [Applause] [Music] and in how many ways you discovered [Applause] how many ways lots of client claims about life but still what's going to be a good deal what's going to your bad deal in the world outside you do not know isn't it you know for sure so [Music] yeah if you have substantial experience of life when i say substantial but most of us one is not enough when we are reminded that there has been a substantial experience of life going through the same game over and over and over again then you will not long for immortality you will want to see what's beyond life oh is this because there's something wrong with life no nothing wrong with it it's just that it's limited but there is something here which does not like the limited there is something here which does not like boundaries there is something here which will not settle for anything less than the boundless in the evolutionary process you can see from a single-celled animal to all that has happened now from that single-celled animal to who you are right now all that's been happening is to somehow bring a larger slice of life into your experience that's all that happened [Music] became a little more capable little more capable [Music] to experience life not necessarily to do an elephant can do much more than you when it comes to physical activity but that's not the point little more capable to experience life because what is there now is somehow not enough pacifist philosophies have been taught to us to make you sleep where you are be content with what you have but it's not worked see early morning bad deal somebody's having a bad deal [Applause] somebody's sure having a bad deal lost your child lost your mommy he's not a small bad deal it's a big bad day but how we experience the process of life is now for the first time as a human being it's in our hands never before it was in our hands in the process of evolution all these millions of life forms that this might have gone through in none of those forms we had the freedom to choose our experience [Music] even now we don't have absolute choice to choose our situations but we have been given the freedom to choose our experience whatever kind of deal the inner deal we can strike a good deal a fabulous deal whatever may be the outside deal this one huge step of consciousness sets a human being apart no other animal is able to determine the nature of his experience the outside situations are good they are fine if they're not good they're gone but this one is capable of having an inner situation the way he wants it no matter what may be happening around him this ability once this ability has come if you exercise the choice of being conscious it's a benediction if you do not it is magnified misery compared to any other creature on the planet no other creature on this planet suffers the way a human being suffers isn't it [Music] no other creature on this planet can suffer the way a human being suffers its tape they do it's not that they don't but not this deep human suffering is deep this suffering is as deep as it is not because life is suffering a lot of people have come to this so if life becomes very sweet and beautiful within you the experience of life the more blissful it becomes more the longing for transcendence people are always thinking the suffering will seek no those who are suffering if you dangle a little bit of pleasure here they will run after that it's only one who is absolutely blissful who will go straight in the path because nothing bothers him nothing interests him he's already in the most pleasant way a human being can be now he wants to go beyond nothing else somebody who is suffering today they say today such guru i want to i want mukti their idea of mukti is freedom from suffering no mukti is not freedom from suffering you cannot even seek liberation if you are in some state of suffering if you're suffering all you will see all you will seek is the sweetness of pleasure and happiness nothing more because people went on talking about or lived their life and made their lives an absolute suffering that is why this whole idea of heaven heaven is a bloody perverted place for sure isn't it no you heard some stories about heaven how it is you have or no it's a bloody perverted place there's no question about it no sensible human being would ever want to go there but the whole world at least a large part of the world is aspiring to go there that's their idea of ultimate unfortunately exaggerated quantities of pleasure [Music] you should try it here you'll get sick of it in no time because always it's been rationed pleasure has always been rationed to people they think larger quantities is going to be better have a large quantity of pleasure and see you will get sick of it because pleasure is just a poor substitute for joy and blissfulness and this whole game of good deal bad deal goes beyond life hell and heaven is just good deal and bad deal even when the deal is good you can still suffer isn't it so are you not capable even when the deal is great are you still not capable of suffering so if i export you to heaven who told you this is not who told you this is not heaven how do you know is there any guarantee for you that planet earth is not heaven do you know maybe you went through all that hard bloody world somewhere and now you're in heaven see even the women are beautiful [Music] [Applause] it could be heaven now so if you land up in another place it's not going to be any better the silly idea they have sold for a few thousand years it beats me the power of marketing it just impossible you know the power of marketing even a even a school going child knows your physical body seeks oxygen not carbon dioxide even a school going child knows this but see they can pump carbon dioxide into your bottle and make you believe that's the best thing to drink on the planet [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] power of marketing real thing [Music] it is only the indian farmers who found out the real purpose of these drinks because they started using it on the plants plants like carbon dioxide [Music] it's only the indian farmers the andhra pradesh farmers who did the right thing with the real thing [Music] [Applause] they spread it on the plants and they found it works so [Music] what can be sold to you if the marketing machinery is strong enough just anything can be sold to you and too much junk has been sold to you all kinds of junk all kinds of junk the general description of the heaven is such that i wouldn't want to go there [Music] you want even if it's real still it's not an attractive place to go many of you married 12 wives you want [Music] shhh not my idea of heaven so definitely this was concocted in a a truly perverted man's mind there's no question somebody who is deprived suppressed and perverted in his head only such a man could devise heaven and unfortunately uniformly across the world the general description of the heaven just about amounts to the same things the numbers vary of course depending upon the female population who make it to heaven but about the same things so the most perverted in any population they are the people who taught the sample and because the perversion when you're perverted it gives you a tremendous sense of energy always see if the policeman had as much energy as the criminal there would be no crime policeman wants to go home and sleep but the criminal is wide awake any kind of deviation from normal course of life process gives you an exaggerated sense of energy always you become fanatical about something you will see you will have an exaggerated sense of energy if you become very loving blissful you also you will have a great sense of energy but it will not expand itself the way a perverted mind will do and these people with great energy and they went about selling it you sell the same product to the whole population you never deliver it this is great this is like you know once in a way i think it's making everywhere in tamil nadu this is making rounds somebody comes up with a million dollar currency note you heard of these things in chennai chennai people have a fascination for this somebody says there is actually a million dollar note with this man it is certified by the united states government and he's willing to give it for a discount because because because he's going to give away a million dollars for just fifty thousand rupees because he loves you and above all he doesn't care for money he just needs only fifty thousand he does not need million dollars plus he's in a hurry his wife died yesterday today he has to cremate some fabulous story and if you pant million dollar [Applause] nothing no great loss will happen you will just lose 50 000 that's all after all you must take that much risk in life isn't it so this goes on and on and on the same product sold again and again and again just marketing by the power of this not delivering anything so you know all the you know uh the mad off job you don't know the mad off job no okay i won't go into the financial corn jobs of recent times a simple thing keep a cycle going as long as the cycle is going on great businesses can be run without doing anything as such collect money from 100 people only 10 people are due to be paid today pay these 10 people what's the problem the cycle gets bigger and bigger and bigger collect money from 100 000 people and pay these 100 people what is the problem you don't have to do any business you can just keep it going like this one day you will have a can in your hand that day is not very far away for you when death confronts you you will see your can is empty nothing empty stories all will evaporate all stories all gossip all rumors that you heard about hell and heaven and god sitting there and welcoming you all the damn stories will evaporate if death confronts you you will be freaky scared no because this is just a convenience it's just a convenience to believe that you know this is a very beautiful thing [Music] all the hindus go straight to heaven [Applause] if anybody dies we never say he died we say he reached heaven yes this is because everybody makes it to heaven because that's just another place like this so here we never considered going to heaven as a big thing he said if you become free from the process of heaven and hell only then it's a big thing going to heaven is not a big thing if you're born in india you go straight to heaven because probably after living in india wherever you go it feels like heaven [Applause] [Music] a lot of people are living in such conditions that wherever you send them they'll think it's heaven you're in the right place if you want mukti you may have to strive but if you want to go to heaven no problem you're born in the right place anyway you'll go to heaven when you die they'll print a card and say he's reached heaven it's printed have faith in the printed word [Applause] is not i'm not just ridiculing this this is happened across the world isn't it so the damn printed world the damn printed word is negating everything that's life if you look around and let life speak you will see the damn printed word is negating everything that life speaks but still it's printed this is not printed you have to be conscious to listen let's print it any idiot who is literate can read it literacy doesn't take intelligence isn't it does it does it say moon literacy doesn't take intelligence if you're born in a certain society you become literate isn't it every idiot becomes literate if you're born in a certain society where there are certain apparatus of education and every fool can read this stuff the printed word which somebody says is sacred it goes against life it doesn't matter it makes people fearful guilty and confused it doesn't matter only because it's so great it can confuse a great mind like you isn't it [Music] no causing confusion is very easy bringing clarity is another world bringing clarity into people is another thing causing confusion is very very easy it can be done you just go up to somebody say do you see the tree how blue it is so what what don't you see it's blue and don't you see the pink fruits [Applause] [Music] it's very easy to do this they've been doing it for thousands of years see if somebody said this is a place of god they should have demanded put your life down here they are asking only for two rupees in ancient india people themselves lived in huts small shacks without any amenities but they went about building grand temples grand superhuman effort looks like something of the divine should have touched them because their own lives did not matter how they lived they did not care these people at least are real believers at least they believe this is just a trick all you're looking for is a pet but a heavenly pet it is not that there is no meaning to this it is not that there is no basis to this it is just that the way it is done if these devices are just ways of bringing about a constant sense of devotion if these devices are only a means to make a human being sensible i can understand a thousand years ago or ten thousand years ago maybe this was the only means they had that's okay but it's being sold as real not being presented as a device [Music] then that becomes a problem [Music] so what is this whole search said guru i'm not feeling any great search within me all i feel like right now is breakfast [Applause] yes but you know you're not yet in heaven this is a yoga center people don't eat breakfast here why can't we just enjoy the mundane never little thing why can't we find pleasure and joy and just do it you must do that if you cannot even do that you're no good you're no good for anything if you cannot enjoy the sunrise if you cannot enjoy the breakfast that you eat if you cannot enjoy the air that you breathe if you cannot enjoy the earth that you walk upon you're simply no good for anything because even birds and animals are doing it yes so if you're not even able to do that this is sub-animal state [Music] i believe that many of you managed to do that so we are saying what is the next possibility because there is something within you which longs either you put the longing to a little bit of sleep with too much breakfast or you you've confused the longing by creating false longings see whatever a human being is seeking whether you're seeking money or you're seeking pleasure you're seeking food starting from the fundamental of food because food is the first thing that you cried for when you were born isn't it [Music] see that child you heard some time ago he's been brainwashed conditioned now he cries mommy now first when he cried first when you cried food isn't it even now it's food that you're crying for but it comes through mommy so starting from this fundamental longing for food what is the longing for food one thing is the physical hunger nourishment but beyond hunger also you're eating isn't it i can see [Applause] food ingestion digestion assimilation is a way of taking something which is not a part of you and making it a part of you if it happens on the lowest level we call it food if it happens on the highest level we call it yoga yoga means union in between there are many ways sexuality ambition this one that one a million other ways but the longing is for unity somewhere there is a longing to include something and become little larger than who you are right now [Music] starts with that fundamental cry of a child just born which is just basic about food then various types of christ will happen along the way all these cries are confusing the fundamental longing to include the essential longing the essential longing is to include by eating [Music] by possessing [Music] by conquering these wrong the crude ways of doing it but the same longing singular longing right through your life please see from the moment you were born you're still crying for the same thing you want to include something more as a part of yourself all i'm telling you is don't go by installments nobody ever does it that way you cannot count i think we can do it we have two full days all of you can start counting right now one two three four i'm sure by sunday evening we would have reached in finite if we do it incessantly no two days non-stop counting 48 hours i think we can make it um oh you are a problem [Music] two days of counting will get you to infinite you do a million years of counting you will not get there you're longing whatever the longing for whether it's for food it's the paying of hunger or lust or ambition conquest it is the same longing if you bring little more consciousness to this longing you will see this is not what you're longing for what you're longing for is inclusiveness so you can confuse the fundamental longing with variety of things running after this for five years running after that for 10 years running after another thing for 25 years then when you're still wanting to run [Music] it's gone a 94 year old man in kentucky you know what's kentucky these are people who breed horses a 94 year old man who lived in a horse ranch all his life whose whole life and work is with studs at 94 he married his sixth wife who was only 18 years of age you know there's a large range so he met his wife on the first day and then he asked her see do you know what we are supposed to do just like adam [Music] did you talk to your mother did she tell you some facts about life she said no i did not speak to my mother i do not know any facts about life then he said i think i know but i have forgotten i have been out of the active involvement with the ranch for the last 10 years and i've forgotten you've forgotten but still the pattern has not stopped many things are just like this with life you have forgotten that the only longing is for inclusiveness here and there whatever comes your way you want to grab and include little by little piece by piece you will not get the cosmic you will not get the existence that way piece by piece it's too many pieces nobody can put it together piece by piece either you swallow it whole or you don't that's how it is as i told you yesterday you missed every step you take every breath you take i want you to see that whatever you're in touch with now this planet there that you breathe the sky the mountain everything if you are willing to look at it in a certain way is overwhelming if you're willing to see that you as a person though you can walk talk do this that you're still not grasped any one of them they you don't know the blades of grass here may be laughing at your ignorance they are actually do you hear i want you to hear because that's how it is everything here knows life except the human being because he was given the power to transcend life he has chosen to go under he was given the freedom not just to be life he could go about life but most of them chose to go below they are not even enjoying life as a tree is enjoying life it only suffers if it has a bad deal you're capable of suffering a good deal [Music] no breakfast is a bad deal but there's lunch coming at 9 30. that's a good deal
