Sadhguru-Become conscious of your mortality..

do people grow up and blossom or are they brought up by somebody you will see the general expression is I was brought up in this place I was brought up in that way especially in the West you will see I was brought up Christian I was brought up Jewish these are very common words I think it's absolutely ridiculous and humiliating that a human being has to be brought up you bring up cattle ok you don't bring up a human being a human being is supposed to blossom by his own nature that is why he's on the top of the pile at least on this planet in the evolutionary scale and most human beings don't seem to understand that or they are not allowed to understand that by a whole lot of people and they need to be brought up bringing up means somebody is molding you molding means it's a predetermined shape no flower that blossoms is the same way as another one which blossom destiny but the mould means it's always going to be the same if you make a mould the idea of making a mould is that we want to have the same form again and again and again right now generally that seems to be the work unfortunately after current education system the so-called religions that are operating in the world and of course the family they want you to be in a certain mold they don't want you to blossom like a wild flower because they're afraid of anything fresh happening among them they want something that is familiar they don't want something unfamiliar to be born among them so if you have succumbed to that system then yes you've been molded into certain form if you allow you humanity to blossom then you will see you don't belong to anymore this is the beauty of being human that there is no a particular way to be if you were a dog it would be one way if you a cattle it would be one way if you receive you would be another way if you bird you would be another way grass grasshopper another way but to be human means there is no particular way what is human is not defined not described it is it is just that for every other creature on this planet nature drew two lines within that they have to play their game for a human being only the bottom line is drawn there is no top line but socially people are trying to draw a top line for themselves but nature has not drawn a top line for you it's a limitless possibility and this is what is freaking human beings right now because they can't decide what they can happen it to be they're trying to be like somebody else only bottom line is set top line has been removed this is evolution when you were a child where you will you put into a school to go the systematic way actually you know when I go and stand in the line in the immigration lines in particularly in America they look at me and say can you speak English because I have the uneducated look it's not easy do you know do you know what it takes to remain uneducated education is just 20 years of going somewhere and getting one certificate to remain uneducated it's very difficult because from the day you are born your parents every other adult the school the damn thing everybody is trying to educate you about something that's not worked in their life where we're going I mean did you clearly know your path not at all I was right from 3 or 4 years of age I was always a million questions hanging in in my head I have a question about everything everything - everything questions means very fundamental questions about existence itself my own existence so when I was 3 4 years of age suddenly I realized I know nothing no nothing means somebody gives me a glass of water I do not know what is water I know how to use it I know if I drink it it will quench my thirst and so many other ways of using it but I do not know what is water I'm saying even today you do not know what is water it's the only thing available in all three states on the planet three two-thirds of the planet is water two-thirds of your body is water if you think life waiting water but do you know what it is with all the scientific exploration we do not even know a single atom in its entirety today our idea of science is learning how to use everything yes we know how to use an atom we know how to break it we know how to fuse it but we really do not know what it is any one thing tiniest thing in the creation we do not know in its entirety this is the fact of life well even something simple as what you started with that looking at water I mean straight away I was taught water h2o and what it can do and if you can mix it with colors and it becomes that you can drink it and it quenches your thought thus but I've never looked at it and said you know I don't really know what is water because nobody looks at anything see everybody is looking like this nobody has any attention for a piece of life here they're like this if you pay attention to one life one blade of grass one grasshopper one human being something else will happen that's why he said life and love because if you pay attention to one human being some love will happen within you okay if you miss life at least some emotion in the direction must happen to you that will happen only if you pay attention to one if you're looking at like this these days is become a fashion because you don't love on Facebook you will have the whole humanity to love on human being if you want to love one human being it costs life to love the whole humanity it doesn't cost anything it's even better to love God because it's always easy to love somebody who's not here run it's so easy but if you have to love somebody who's sitting next to you right now it costs life you know how difficult it is to love someone who's next to you right now how easy it is to love someone who is dead or within heaven isn't it so on its face it because if you have to love one one thing is you have to pay attention without attention it will not happen another one you have to give up something that is you to accommodate another otherwise it will not happen the English expression is very good you must fall in love you cannot rise in love you cannot stand in love you cannot lie in love you have to fall something of you should fall otherwise it will not work you will not know it so you want to have a fake sense of life then you don't pay attention to anything everything is information nothing is a living experience everything is from the textbook or from the cinema or from the internet nothing is wrong life's experience we're doing more and more today of that gurus you just mentioned love and today it is about life and love and I would like to know for us it is maybe love your family members whoever it could be I asked you this is because there's so many versions of this and I really want to get to it some teachers some gurus some guides will say you know you can love but you must be detached love but it cannot be conditional it should be unconditional and so there's versions of it I just want to know see they send a simple way of make you keep coming back to me to give you something that you cannot do to give you a teaching which you can never do you must love but you must be detached now you have to keep coming back to me for consultation and I'm saying throw yourself into your love affair and dive into it something will happen something worthwhile will happen if you're willing to die into the process not just anything whether it's you work or your life or your lab of whatever if you do not know how to throw your entire self into it you will never know the taste of what it is love but be detached what do you want to love that only because you want to include somebody as a part of your life part of yourself that's why you love no I love but I am detached this means you have to come back to consultation every day's like a psychiatrist job every day you have to come and sit on the couch you need treatment and there is a fee okay all right so you can love and be attached no I didn't say that I'm coming back for consultation please so what did you think I only said see what is this need for love in a human being you must understand a human being constantly constantly a human being is longing to be something more than what they are right now if this finds a simple basic physical expression we call the sexuality sexuality means just this physically you're trying to make something which is not you a part of yourself for a few moments you may succeed if you try this mentally it gets labeled as greed conquest may be simply shopping shopping shopping some people go for conquest with swords and guns some people go with checkbooks and cash you know credit cards the thing is you want to include something which is not a part of you as yourself that is the whole effort whether you want money or wealth or you want to occupy a nation what is it something that is not you you want to make it yours yours is an effort to make it a part of yourself if it happens emotionally on the emotional level if you try this we call this a love affair you're trying to make somebody who is not a part of you a part of yourself emotionally this is a love affair if you do it consciously we call this Yoga Yoga means union so all these efforts are fine everything has its own beauty but has its own limitations when you understand the limitations of all the other methods nothing right or wrong about it it is just that it will work briefly it will not work for always when you realize that you consciously try to include when you consciously become an inclusive process if you sit here if you experience everything as yourself then we say you are a yogi okay so this is a love affair successful - something you said at the end which I would like to ask you again you said love inclusiveness I can't understand how I can love everybody in this room you cannot there's some people you cannot love I can barely see so how is that how do you include everybody in your love sit because you are looking at love as something that comes to you or you yield to the process of Lao only because you appreciate a particular quality a shape of somebody's nose or the shape of their mind or their thought or their emotion or the way they speak or the way their two things are the way they relate to you something okay the many many things it is based on something that is acceptable to you if they do something that is not acceptable to you love crumbles now what I am saying is I want you to look at this whether love happens to you or hate happens to you and it happens to you misery happens to you joy happens to you it only happens within you isn't it yes it never people say love is in the air no because you are feeling very pleasant in your emotions suddenly air feels vibrant it always being you missed it all your life now you are beginning to feel it so whatever human experience love or hate whatever whatever happens only within you what I'm saying is at least what happens within you must happen by your choice consciously you must be able to make it happen if you are able to if your experience of what is happening within you is happening by choice what is the problem it only happens within you love is not a relationship a relationship is a different thing love is a certain sweetness of your emotion whether you look at a tree or a dog or a man or a woman or a child or just at the sky why can't you look at lovingly because it's not about loving the sky it's about the sweetness of your emotions if your emotions are sweet whatever you look at you look at it in uncertainly right now you have nasty emotions whatever you look at you look at it in a different way so you have always associated love with somebody no no this is not about somebody love is not something that you do it is something that you can become if you're willing you can become love you can make your emotion into your very sweet space okay if you make your much if you make your body very pleasant it becomes pleasure if you sit here it can be great pleasure just sitting here and breathing if your mind becomes pleasant we said this is joy if your emotions become Pleasant we say this is love if your very life energies become Pleasant we say this is blissfulness this is ecstasy if your surroundings become Pleasant we call that success now you are calling your success with somebody as love that's a mistake you have a success story with somebody that is you have created pleasantness in the atmosphere between you and let's say 510 people around you you are calling that loud no that is actually success because that needs lots of management yes but for you to be loving there is no management if you just make your emotion sweet your emotions are sweet and it's beautiful really like this it's not about anybody if somebody comes we can share it if nobody comes you can sit here with your eyes closed and still be loving what's the problem it is not about somebody it's not an action it is not something that you do it is something that you can become [Applause] it says it's a lovely Wow idyllic it is not either the cases ladies I mean you really have to practice this what because I'm thinking this is what exactly I'm saying if it is an action an action comes to perfection with practice only if it's an action I'm saying love is not an act is health an act are you acting healthy right now I know you're an actor but are you acting so healthy because we have done certain things and healthy isn't it we've been given but if you eat bad if you live bad you won't be healthy we've done certain things to manage your health similarly if you do certain things you can manage the pleasantness of your mind if you do certain other things you can manage this pleasantness of your emotion if you do certain other things you can manage the pleasantness of your very life energies this is things that you can do now what you can do internally you're trying to manage externally what can be done here within you you are trying to manage by creating an atmosphere around you which is a very difficult thing to do because outside will never happen hundred percent the way you want it to some extent we can manage we can't do all of it by ourselves because the many forces involved so Guruji you said something about health and you said used to certain things for yourself certain things one you are given health and then how you maintain it is you eat well you exercise and you remain healthy now to be loving when maybe in a household any situation may be outside like you said outside forces are not pleasant it doesn't come easily to then just be loving so what is the practice to become that way or to train yourself to be that way I want to remove this idea from your mind you believe you need to practice practice means you're trying to perfect that perfect an action isn't it just be loving at all times yes yes that is not an act no not an act no I don't want to go back to the movie so do be so accepting because no it's not about accepting right now do you want to keep your mind your thought process Pleasant or nasty tell me what is your choice idly pleasant understand pleasant ugh nasty you're thinking about it this is no I'm trying to think should i you insane nasty I'm gonna bless you human beings choice but themselves is definitely pleasantness isn't it body mind emotion everything and surroundings you want it Pleasant yes so why is it not Pleasant surroundings are not pleasant because of many things yes if you thought an emotion or not Pleasant it's entirely you isn't it yes surroundings not entirely mean it's so many forces we have to manage them we have to juggle them not always have you successful with everything around us did you know different people have different levels of competence to manage the outside not all of us have the same what to say the skill to manage the outside but inside your emotion and your thought why is it not happening your way this is something we have to look at this has to be addressed every human being has to address this at least your thought and your emotion must happen the way you want it's like this on a certain day a lady went to sleep a lady went to sleep in her sleep she had a dream I think up there oh there are two strata of people nobody is asleep right so that I could pick on her I'm just looking if I can see she went to sleep up there and in her dream she had a dream in her dream she saw hunk of a man standing in that corner and then he started coming closer and closer and closer he came so close she could even feel his breath she trembled not in fear and then she asked what will you do to me the man said well ladies your dream what's happening in your mind is your bloody dream now the problem with life is not that life is not happening the way you want it even your dream is not happening the way you want it that's a problem I'm saying at least fix this at least let the dream happen the way you want it if you were dreaming the way you want right now your thought and your emotion would be pleasant isn't it yes well first thing the world is another thing that's a different game that means a lot of skill this needs just willingness why are you continuously talking about your blissfulness love is not because it's a goal by itself these are not goals by itself only why when you are pleasant by your own nature you stop being in pursuit of happiness you are fine by yourself you don't have to go anywhere to feel pleasant you don't have to do anything to feel Pleasant sitting here you are feeling very pleasant now you will look at life the way it is otherwise you're an endless race pursuit of your happiness is a lifelong thing till your death when you're pursuing what does it mean that means you're a failure if you're pursuing happiness when you were five I can understand but that was not the fact when you're five you are simply happy by your own nature when you're 50 you are pursuing your happiness this is a failed story isn't it let's have Guruji suppose we say this to the common man was a house ready give me the common man I'm imagining it every man and woman think they're special believe me oh yes yes where did you meet a common man a mask oh he said guru see what he said about the common person and the special person I know some teachers have always told us and by your parents always tell you that you know you are special each one of us is unique I remember this part I'm not sure what I heard it at your discourse or on a DVD of yours where you said it was about you know people being special and us always thinking that God knows of us and you said something like do you know all the grasshoppers in your garden so of course all of us have said no so you said something like so how does God know each one of you then and I was devastated because I always thought something real then knows me number thought you were number one and his books is it well I've been told since I was kid you special you're unique and God cares about you when somebody says you're unique it's an insult you said no top line so you are helping picking in different ways in this vast cosmos this solar system is just a speck tomorrow morning if the whole solar system disappears vanishes evaporates nobody will even notice it maybe it's not even under Khan books of creation it's so small in this speck of a solar system planet Earth is a super speck in that manga is a micro super speck in that you are a big man or woman this is a very immense existential problem this is because we have lost perspective as to who we are what we are our psychological realities have become bigger than the cosmic cosmic reality that is a big problem it's time you step out of your cinema and I'm not talking about the Hindi cinema I'm talking about the cinema that everybody is playing in their own minds see a synergy right now they darken this whole hall because it works best that way this is the basic technology of a cinema if you do not walk in the cinema hall if you light it up and play up nice and Emma it's not going to work you have to talk in it so I'm saying as an emma of your mind because it's a dark space every thought is enlarged playing out bigger than the cosmic space today everything in the cosmos is happening perfectly well but you have one nasty thought crawling in your head and it feels like a bad day isn't it that's because your psychological realities your petty creation has become larger than the creator's creation you lost perspective of life that is the fundamental basis of all this confusion and suffering if you see who you are the micro speck that you are you wouldn't imagine that God is made in your own image and he looks like you and whatever okay if we were all buffaloes we would definitely think God is a big Buffalo please define it for us what is it what is going on this life this love all these emotions that we go through and in our lives all these thoughts that we create for ourselves what is going on these are all human possibilities and capabilities every possibility becomes a problem for those who do not explore the possibility in its right perspective thought is a tremendous possibility and then cannot think like you he can work better than you he's more discipline he betters made better traffic rules than you there's no traffic jam out there okay but he cannot think like you that sets us apart this is a possibility but now this possibility has become a problem for 90% of the humanity now they're freaking because they can think and they're thinking all the wrong things their thoughts have become nasty if they were pleasant never to be enjoyed the thought process because it's become nasty it's becoming an ailment isn't it people are suffering their thoughts immensely because they do not know how to keep it Pleasant nothing has been done towards it so what is the possibility always becomes a problem if you do not explore it in the right perspective so your thought and emotion has become a problem now love affair is a problem you're making all kinds of things out of it which are all coming from this misunderstanding not understanding this thought and emotion is generated by me I can generate it whichever way I want if nastiness is what you like you do it I don't care if that's what you like but you're suffering it if you're suffering it you shouldn't be doing it I am not telling you be loving what is your choice pleasantness or unpleasantness if unpleasant is his choice you enjoy it and do it what is my problem you want to drink poison what is my problem I am just telling you this is poison this is this drink whatever you want but by choice don't drink unconsciously that's stupid that is not befitting of a human being a human being means we are far more conscious than every other creature on this planet that's what sets us apart or every creature eats but we can it consciously so our eating becomes so many things every creature has sexual drives they go and fulfill it whichever way we can do it consciously so we become something something we are doing the same things but we are doing it consciously suddenly there is a magic about it not because sex is magic food is magic no because we can do it consciously every basic act like eating and copulating becomes magical because we can do it consciously if you leave the one thing if you exclude that one thing from your life that you're not conscious about the way you think the way you feel the way you act the way you move your body if you're not conscious about it everything can turn again everything can become nasty so it is this which sets you apart from every other creature so a dog is walking on the street if you show it a biscuit it in wag its tail if you do this it will do if this is what you are that if somebody is nice to you wag your whatever if somebody is not nice to you you will bright them I am saying what varies evolution in you forget about civilization I am talking about evolution where is the evolution where is the sign of evolution I am asking [Applause] I've seen people copying answers in examination but never today many women in our modern society are stepping out and having a career and I just like to know what do you think of this of women stepping out being career people managing home as well being financially independent this is good so every woman should do what she wants to do as an individual person it should not be made into a trend in a society or the only right thing to do in the world because I think if if a woman is intends to have two children and raise them I think it's a full-time job and not saying she should not go out and work if she wishes to as an individual person she is free to do what she wants to do but having two children is not about reproduction you are manufacturing the next generation of people how the world will be tomorrow will be determined by what kind of mothers you have today believe me you know I have seen many ladies coming to me and say when I asked what are you doing oh I'm just a housewife I said why do you see you just the housewife you you don't seem to understand the significance of you know being able to nurture two or three new lives it's not it's not a not important job it's a very important job career I want you to understand right now because we made the whole world into economics unfortunately women also getting asked to quit as men as if how much money you earn is going to determine the value of your life no it is just procurement of things that you need money is just about that man was procuring woman was taking about the more beautiful aspects of life now woman also wants to procure it there is such an economic need in the family finds you must do it but it is not a compulsive need it must not be set up as something better to do than doing something if she sings sorry if she plays music or if she just loves her children not if she cooks beautifully or she just lives beautifully like a flower it's good enough fencing it is not necessary that only if she earns this much money she's her she is doing something valuable otherwise she is not if there is an economic need she can do it or if she has a passion for doing it she can do it but let not such values be set up in the world because you are not evolving you're regressing you are making survival more important than aesthetics of life okay said kurudi let me take you away from this and let me take you to a world of safe films well the films okay let's go mommies years ago when films started and you know through the 60s 70s there were lovely stories nice values beautiful music lyrics by the time I was the star in movies some of our chat comic girls might have shocked the previous generations and they must have said what is all this but it was still within limits whose limits I mean what's acceptable just society you whatever I mean I say and then now today the complexion of films the kind of films we see you know it's it's little clothes it's 11 relationships I you know up there on screen for everybody to see and nightclub culture I mean it's sometimes worries me that my children are growing up now this is what they're seeing this these are the kind of songs that they're listening to the lyrics are about you know from janym janym to expiry dates a song yes so this is the this is what they're watching this is what they think is coolly this is the this is the hip and happening stuff I'm just by the time I became the denim denim was over I know it was still dad was in the middle somewhere the music was wonderful the lyrics were still lovely but today it is Munni Badnaam away and it thinks things have really moved to chewing gums and I am forgetting at this moment what the lyrics are but then it's it's it's shallower right now India has the youngest population in the world right now so with such a young nation growing up on this this is the feed this is what you see this is what you hear I'm just a little concerned as to what they will turn out to be I'm sure your parents were concerned too okay okay I'm sure my parents are very concerned when I was so every parent has this concern every generation has this concern that the next generation is going wrong always I understand what you're saying this sudden change if every generation likes to go one step beyond where the previous generation has stepped in almost everything just for the sake of doing something different what it's natural they've grown up in one atmosphere they take it another level yes next is not always next that's what you're saying next is not always next right yes it's not next it's so this concern is always there but right now the thing that is happening is not the next it is a serious influence because in the last 15 years the world's ability to communicate across cultures and borders is so heavy and so unprecedented nobody has ever been used to these kind of influences before okay never before this level of influence on our young people never before possible no other generation has ever experienced this kind of onslaught from so many directions and the volume of influence is too big so in terms of changes are happening not it is not next it is simply somewhere and nobody knows where it is because it's too complex and too mixed nobody knows where it is including the young people it's just a mix of things so this is because of a sudden onslaught of information and communication we did not furnish to judge whether it's good or bad it is just that definitely this level of information when I say information it's like when we were growing up I believe it was true for your generation also we'd never knew what is boredom okay this is there was no such thing we were just excited about everything that came our way but you see today 12 year-old kids if you tell them what is bored because they know the whole cosmos did its they've seen it on their phone screen not even in the computer screen on the phone screen they've seen entire cosmos they know everything things that you do not know they know you ask them they know it yes by information by the time they're 18 they have had five love affairs and gone in the western world it's like that here also it's beginning to happen okay so by the time they're 18 they've seen everything that you need to see with body mind emotion okay by the time they're 25 what what next you will see this is not my wish but this is something that I see the way people's minds are working the way they're being led in with information I'm not by any standards of pessimistic person but I'm just saying this if this level of information continues and it will multiply manifold for the coming generations you should not be surprised in the next 50 200 years if 50% of the human population choose to commit suicide you should not be surprised because that is what will happen to the mind somebody is clapping look at this is popular just touch the cord today this day more people commit suicide in this world then all the wars and murders and accidents managed to kill so more people are on self-help already then murderers war mongers bad drivers everything put together more people are in self-help and if this level of information onslaught continues and human mind I know the nature of mind absolutely because I know my mind I know how it works what you can handle what cannot do I know it clearly what human mind is that's the reason why I don't have to read people's books or listen to their entire thing if they say one sentence I know what their mind is because I know the structure of human mind entirely otherwise I won't be Who I am so I'm saying this if this level of information onslaught continues at the same pace or at higher pace which is possible in the next few years this will definitely lead to wanting to terminate yourself because there will be nothing to live for there is no joy and excitement about anything you please watch your children by the time they're 12 15 days is bored you look back at your own life those of you who are over 50 years of age just look back at any original life when you are 12 15 was there any room for you to get bored about anything simply you are excited about every little thing isn't it today you will see it's almost a common feature 12 fifteen-year-old kids are just bored because we're talking about love and life all this will not mean nothing because you had one love affair when you were 18 years of age you thought this is your life and you weren't willing to die for it whether you died for it or not but at least at that time you thought you will die for it okay today by the on Facebook they have 22 love affairs going simultaneously [Laughter] it just means nothing I'm saying they should have it or not have it all I am saying is this will lead to a certain overload on the mind and suddenly a human being will think why am I here you know that big Shakespearean question to be or not to be it's not the most intelligent question unfortunately people think so this is only because you have not been touched by life you are not a piece of life you're just a psychological case you're full of thoughts and emotions you have not touched life at all you think your thoughts and emotions are life no your thoughts and emotions at the drama that you in your mind it is your cinema you must be able to end it somewhere if you do not know how to put the end then it's going on unless in M are you going crazy life is happening here you know your work is not life your family is not life your career is not life your cinema is not life your thought is not life your emotion is not life life is happening here everything else is accessories to life now the frills of life have become larger than life itself life is entirely missed if you touch life within you then it's an explosion of energy when such a thing never happens to you because you have information about the whole cosmos on your phone screen you will never be touched by life because too much information too much thought even emotion is drying up too much thought this has happened if you look at European philosophy in the last hundred hundred fifty years you will see if you read Dostoyevsky you will want to commit suicide brilliant intellectually brilliant but you will wonder why are you alive because intellect is like that if you wake up in the morning devoid of any touching any life's experience within you don't think about your child's face do not think about the flowers in the garden birds in the sky nothing beautiful that ever touched you just think logically you have to get out of bed that's not a small feat you have to brush your teeth breakfast go to work each work eat sleep again tomorrow morning same thing next fifty years you have to do the same process every day if you look at it 100% logically and intellectually you will have no reason to live today morning tomorrow morning it's only if you touch by something suddenly it's worth living if you're not touched by anything then it's not worth living what is what is so worth living about a human being working with the morning trudging through life every day eating sleeping same rubbish what is the point there is no point unless you touch by something some magic of life if it doesn't touch you either in the form of love or in the form of a flower or in the form of something within you if something doesn't Sparkle within you definitely there is a question whether I should live or not isn't it and we are taking humanity in that direction with this overload of information information is not knowing information is just garbage collection you just gather things which don't mean anything to you you look smart in a tea party but you're not smarter with life okay if you're smart with life you must be blissful isn't it if you really smart with life you must be joyful and blissful isn't it so you're only smart in a tea party because you know when somebody is talking something you know the galaxy is z22 what happens there everybody Wow they can also open the Internet and the same thing you see you think this guy visited the galaxy do this and you will be at least on the way to be blissful or happy or aware or living in a nice conscious way if you you should just observe if everybody makes an little effort everybody take a little time for this piece of life okay not for your family not for your career not for something else something else just for this piece of life give it a little time because this is the most important piece of life in your life isn't it yes or no yeah even if you are in love with somebody still this is the most important piece of life isn't it so pay some attention to this how does it happen why have you taken it for granted believe me you're not going to be here forever I'd bless you with a long life but you're going to fall that one day yes or no so do not take this for granted if you wake up in the morning tomorrow if you wake up in the morning now it's not my wish but I want you to know of all the people who go to bed tonight over a million people will not wake up tomorrow morning and tomorrow if you and me wake up tomorrow morning is it not a fantastic thing a million people did not wake up you woke up is it not a great thing just look at the ceiling and smile you are still awake you still there a million people did not get up in the morning and you woke up and for many many millions of people somebody whose dear to them did not wake up so just check those five six people around you they all woke up Wow it's a fantastic day new okhla and everybody who matters to you around you woke up is it not fantastic big you don't think so yes you don't seem to think so because the problem is just this you are living with an idea that you're immortal when I say you're immortal you're not actually thinking you're immortal but you are not conscious of your morality mortality if you are not conscious of your mortality somewhere you think you're immortal isn't it how many moments in a day are you conscious that you're mortal if you were conscious would you have time to crib would you have time to fight with somebody would you have time to do some rubbish with your life if you knew if you are conscious that you're mortal you will do nothing other than what is absolutely needed for you and everybody around you this one thing if you do if you just remind yourself you don't think this is a negative thing that is not a negative thing it's the only thing which is added value to your life if you are here forever you would be unbearable yes isn't it aren't we glad everybody dies one day if you just become conscious of this one thing that always you're conscious that I'm mortal you don't have to think I will die today we don't intend we want to live as far as possible just you know one day I will die if you just conscious of this one thing you will naturally become spiritual you will not become spiritual by thinking about God you will become unrealistic hallucinatory you will start talking to somebody you will start doing all kinds of things already people you know they have here phones on and the talking you don't know whether they lost it or did 10 years ago if somebody was walking on the street talking you would know that he's lost but today you don't know whether they got their headphones or and they just lost it and they're talking we cannot make out but if you are conscious that you are mortal every moment of your life spiritual process has begun for you so the one one of the main reasons one of the fundamental reasons why that all these things have to be thought to you that she's repeatedly asking this question were you born special when you have normal birth or not is simply because most people have forgotten their mortal they think they're immortal they may not actually think they're immortal but they are not conscious they're mortal with every step with every breath if they were conscious of this you know how consciously they would live they would become fantastic it is your mortality which makes you want to know what is the nature of your existence you really want to know where you came from where you will go only when it sinks into you all this drama one day it will end but right now you think only others appear in obituary columns you are only going to read it thankless and is simply beautiful that's all that's needed if you want to know the value of life just know that it's a brief happening the time that you spend here has life it's a very relative experience if you are truly joyful and ecstatic it's horribly brief believe me I feel like I was born there before yesterday see already how I've become okay but on a particular day if you're depressed or miserable one day seems like an endless thing so only miserable people have a long life ecstatic person life is always brief if you live to be hundred it's still very brief for what possibilities a human being carries but the immensity of what a human being is it's too brief a life if you're given hundred years 200 years it still still do to brief because before you know what's happening before you explore a few dimensions of life it'll be over it'll be over over okay only miserable people have a very long life they feel it's very long Sadhguru G here we have a few questions first question is from gravis in their ass soon Darren sin where in how do we draw the line between loving unconditionally and becoming a doormat [Laughter] so we need to understand this what's being right now passed around us laughs he's generally mutual benefit scheme you give me this I'll give you that if you don't give me that I don't give you this this is not said but it's done it's done isn't it it's not said so human beings have physical psychological emotional economic social and various other kinds of needs to fulfill these things when you say I love you instead of making these things ugly needs that we have to agree transactions that we have to do you give me this you give me that to bring some aesthetic and beauty to this transaction we coat it with a certain amount of sweetness of emotion which we call as love affair where the transactions happen more smoothly because once we are human somehow doing basic transactions in a basic way makes us feel ugly if you take food with both your hands and eat it it's ugly isn't it we want to eat in a certain way similarly to fulfill our physical needs emotional needs economic needs we have Arrangements where we can conduct this in a more aesthetic manner I'm not saying it's right or wrong this is the fact of life so this level of love I call this this is enough for to fulfill the domestic needs of once you know for two people to live together the fulfill their needs to produce children to raise them domestic level of love affair people can have but if people want to have a love affair which will bring them to an ultimate union then not many people are competent to do that not people not many people are ready to have that kind of a love affair verily make two lives in the one who becomes actually one in experience that we'll need something more most people are competent of using love to fulfill the domestic needs but to go beyond that they are not ready and when I say they've not ready either I'm not talking about this person of that person so when one is ready and another is not ready or one is making an effort and another doesn't have the effort then it feels like somebody is becoming a doormat that is what it is that it feels like they're being exploited but above all one who is longing to become used now as a way of ultimate union should not be bothered about being doormat this and that in India we have a culture where by choice people name themselves as slaves you know Ram Das Krishna does this does that does what is it they're openly saying I'm a slave I'm a doormat I want to be a doormat they're not saying am I afraid I'll be used as a doormat they sing I want to be a doormat so this is a kind of love that they are wanting to use to use for ultimate Union this is not for domestic purposes so if you are looking for alternate union then love is a different affair if you're looking for conducting of domestic affairs then you must manage dignity who gets what if anybody is using more than what they should then if you don't give me that I don't give you this okay otherwise if you're looking for alternate union you should not think of all these things that's a different effect that's not for not much social thing if you fall in love itself you become vulnerable to somebody without becoming vulnerable there is no love of health you have to fall when you fall somebody may raise you or somebody may walk over you but the thing is that the experience of your life is beautiful because you fell not because they raised you not because I walked over you because you could actually have the sense of abandoning you to fall that was the beauty of your love effect not what they gave you what they did to you this No the beauty was you sat alone and you think you really love this person so much you willing to die that was the most beautiful moment not the moment they gave you a big gift not the moment they gave you a diamond ring not the moment they said this and that about you no you just sat here and you're willing to die that was the moment not just a doormat you're willing to be the dust on their feet okay I am NOT saying you should be like that I am saying where love transformed itself into devotion if you fall in love itself you become very vulnerable but there are still some shreds of sanity in love affairs that you can recover but if you become a devotee there is no sanity left and you cannot recover so before you trade such a land you must see whether you offer it or not what are your goals first of all if your goal is to make a life a cautioned a very measured love affair is good but your your your thing is you want to dissolve into the process of life you don't want to have a good life you're not planning to have a good life you just want to become an explosion of life you don't care what you get and what you don't get then you become a devotee devotion means it's your intention to dissolve in your object of devotion so a devotee is not expecting whether I'll become a doormat or a crown on somebody's head whatever I become as long as they can touch your feet or head or whatever it's fine with me so that's a different state of existence I don't think somebody who's looking for domestic level of love affair should even ask that question we have one question from the social media the Facebook um it's modern wants to know in this materialistic age the real feeling of love is disappearing from our life most of the love we receive from others and express to others is superficial how can we reinforce the real feeling of love in our own life and in others forget about others if you if you learn to be loving by your own nature not because of somebody else or something else I know the question is coming from Facebook there's an enormous possibility you can even love those people who don't even exist so I'm saying it's a tremendous possibility so if you just become love not love somebody then you will know the nature of love if you love somebody it's a fickle happening because no human being will happen 100% the way you want them every human being on this planet is going to disappoint you believe me not because they will do something wrong because nobody can fulfill the Unruh unreal ik unrealistic expectation you have of them it's simply not possible have you been able to fulfill anybody's expectation I'm asking you entirely partially but never entirely isn't it so nobody else will be able to do it unless you're still such a hopeless romantic you're still waiting that ideal person is going to come from somewhere no believe me whoever comes I want you to know the ideal people whom you worship when Krishna was there is wise complained so there is no pressure Sadhguru G this is where we open yes the platform it's anybody has a question this is the moment yes my name is Anand my question is about marriage Davers there are two different things I see today is many youngsters like many of them they don't want to marry and few of them who marry there are occasions where they are getting diverse so would you like to throw some light on these situations ago say you need to understand the institution of marriage one thing is as we said a little while ago it's about bringing a certain sanctity to the simple basic needs that every human being has I will repeat there are physical needs there are psychological needs that economic needs emotional needs social needs that idea needs to fulfill all these things we set up an institution called marriage where all this can be conducted in a sensible manner otherwise if we did it on the streets like every other creature it would turn ugly for us and we will feel not good about it so to bring some sense of organization some aesthetic some stability because man and woman coming together naturally brought fresh life the nature of human life the nature of human offspring is such that because of the possibilities that a human being carries it is compared to any other creature it is the most helpless life which needs maximum amount of support you could leave a puppy on the street as long as it gets food he grows up into a good dog no problem but not so with the human being he doesn't need just physical support he needs a variety of support and step above all a stable situation whether there should be marriage in society or not one will debate when they're 18 because physical body is asking for freedom all right at that time everybody questions his marriage really needed why can't we just live whichever way we want but when you're 3 years of age you valued marriage immensely a stable marriage immensely isn't it so yes not yours your parents when you were 3 4 you viewers three four years of age you're 100% for marriage again when you become 45 50 or 100 percent for marriage between 18 and 35 you are questioning the whole process I am NOT saying marriage is the thing but do you have a better alternative if you have a better alternative damn the marriage but you have not come up with a better alternative because a stable situation is a must for a child once you have a child it's a 20-year project okay that is if they do well if they don't do well it's a lifelong project if you want to get into such projects at least 20 years there must be a commitment to create a stable situation your whims and fancies will change your emotions will change if that is what it is don't get into such situations it's not compulsory for everybody to get married it's good young pyou are saying people are thinking whether to get married and I am glad it is not necessary for everybody but if you get into it and if you especially if you get into children you must understand it's a minimum 20-year project whether you like it or you don't like it otherwise you shouldn't get into those projects you don't walk into your project drop it halfway and walk away isn't it they have their benefits and they have the problems it's your choice but at least choose consciously you don't have to get married because everybody is getting married you don't have to talk about marriage and divorce in the same breath as if they come together this is a completely an American idea you're thinking of marriage and divorce together nobody thought of divorce in this country till recently isn't it why should you ever talk about marriage and divorce in one breath it's a crime it's really a crime to think on those line but if it so happens something truly went wrong between two people and we they have to separate that will anyway inevitably happen you don't have to plan it at the time of wedding no miss Karen Satguru name is Karen really ma'am you mentioned about survival and we talked about aesthetics of life I would like I would request you to elaborate on aesthetics of life and my second question is for my friend I don't know whether he would answer it or not but I just want to mention it over here because she has requested me to do so her question is what is the purpose of this universe tell your friend I didn't make it thank you so much why am I being blamed for these things the only thing I have done is I have figured the nature of my life and by figuring the nature of this life I know by inference every life has happened the same way not just every life the very cosmos has happened the same way if you know the nature of this life from its origin to its ultimate you know the nature of everything by inference everything that's worth knowing so tell your friend I didn't make this universe so don't blame me for such big things I just figured my way through my life and wish you figure it if you figure it you will see the most important thing that's happening in your life right now is that you rely nothing else not that stocks have gone up today that's not the most important thing not your love affair not this and that if you don't understand what I am saying suppose tomorrow you lost I am NOT saying you must wish I'm not wishing you must lose but suppose tomorrow you lost half your money and you're feeling depressed and your mind says I want to die close your mouth hold your nose like this for two minutes your body says to hell with your money I want to live tomorrow you found your love affair collapsed and your mind says I want to die check the life within you says to hell with your love affair I want to live every time you feel little suicidal or depressed just check the life within you say is to hell with all these things I want to live so I want to know the most important thing that's happening to you right now is life itself not the fancy thoughts that you have not the emotions that you have not financial arrangements or family arrangements or whatever rubbish you have built around you these are all accessories to life these are all frills frills have so much you missing the skirt that's a whole problem with you yes so much real fundamental things are forgotten so this is the most important thing right now for most people life means their job life means the new house they're building life means the car that they bought life means their wife their husband their children no life means what's dropping here not even your body not your mind not your thought not your emotion what is right now rubbing here this is life because this is on everything else seems to be meaningful if this one stops nothing around you means any damn thing to you which
