Sadhguru-become conscious of your true nature

probably when I was four years of age I realized one thing I suddenly realized one day that I don't know anything actually don't know anything means I don't know anything at all if somebody gave me a glass of water I would be staring at water for three to four hours because I wouldn't know what is water well I know I can drink this water I can use this water I know how to use the water but I don't know what is water even today with all the scientific exploration we still do not know you in one atom in its entirety we know how to use it but we don't know what it is so if I found a leaf I would be staring at it for five six hours I would sit up in the bed staring at the darkness for the entire night so my father being a doctor started thinking I need psychiatric evaluation yes because this boy is simply staring at something so in this condition they also sent me to school my mother said pay attention to the teacher I went and paid attention the kind of attention they would have never received in their life okay what was that absolute attention I'm just looking at them so initially I understood what they were trying to say after some time I realized that they were only making noises I was making up meanings in my mind hour after hour teacher after teacher comes and makes all kinds of sounds and go away so I stopped making meanings I just heard the sounds see right now I am speaking I am only making sounds you're making up the meanings isn't it language is a conspiracy between two people great I just stopped making meaning and just very attentively heard the sounds and it became very amusing and a big smile spread on my face they were not amused of course so my education went like this I just look at the teacher I know his past present but I don't hear a thing that he's saying eight years ago this school where I studied over 40 years ago or 45 years ago they invited me for their hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary great I said please see why me because I was not just a not good student there was not even a student I didn't even know what happened there they said no no our school is produced Union ministers our school has produced cricketing stars film stars you're the only mistake you must come yes I endorsed with them so I went so I looked around standing up in a quadrangle to speak same oppressive buildings and when I looked at this classroom I suddenly remembered I was around 12 years of age one afternoon the teacher is trying to get a response from me these are times when three four days at a stretch I won't even say a word because when you don't know anything what to say I am still paying attention to the world whatever I see it catches my attention to such a point I can't speak so he's asking a question and wanting to get a response 3540 minutes when he doesn't get a response he holds me by the shoulder shakes me violently like this and says you must either be the divine or the devil I think you're the later I was not insulted by this not abused by this till that moment my problem is what is this what is that what is that what is that I have a question about everything in the universe one thing was clear to me this is me suddenly this man confused me about this also I looked at myself what am I am i devil or divine what am i because I couldn't figure it out I closed my eyes and sat initially from minutes to hours it went one day I closed my eyes and sat I thought it's 25 30 minutes when I opened my eyes there was a lot of people around me somebody wants to know about his business somebody wants to know when his daughters will get married I said where did you all come from because I just closed my eyes and said and now they are all sitting here they said I was sitting there for 13 days I didn't even realize I thought it's 2530 minutes so laughs became more and more inward though I involve myself with outside world to whatever extent I could and I was very involved I would say but still I had a completely different world going within myself which exploded into a very huge experience when I was 25 since then I'm just trying to share my experience with people I have created because I was practicing yoga from 12 years of age I used yoga as a method to transmit this experience in a way there is nothing which is not yoga so I used yoga as a methodology to share this experience so the experience means at that moment when I just had there I was dripping ecstasy in every cell in my body and I realized you don't have to do anything for this every human being is just capable of this on that day I thought I will make the entire world blissful so it's 34 years and I've become like this I have touched a few million people but that's not my idea of the world my idea of world is 7.3 billion people so I am saying I am one big failure people say at the age of 25 you suddenly got some spiritual power or divine power at some hidden space what is that moment how it happened and what you felt at that time I was in business I was very successful far more successful than most people would imagine in a short span of time half a dozen things I was doing and very successful with whatever I was doing one afternoon when I had nothing much to do I went up cha Monte Hill I was in Mysore so in my sub cities like this if you have something to do you go up Chamundi Hill if you have nothing to do you go up Chumlee I had nothing to do so I went up shaman to him I'm this is the hill which is very familiar to me so I went and sat I park my motorcycle and went up and sat on a rock that was very familiar to me my eyes were still open I didn't even close my eyes till that moment I always knew this is me that is somebody else I have no problem with that summary but this is me that is somebody else suddenly I did not know which is me which is not me the very rock I was sitting upon the air that I breathe that must feel around me everything had become me I thought this lasted for about 5-10 minutes but when I came back to my normal senses it was about four and a half hours for the first time in my adult life tears were flowing tears and we were him impossible as I said earlier I was dripping ecstasy in every cell in my body so I have a super skeptical mind I am somebody who has a billion questions about the entire universe so when I asked my mind what's happening to me my mind says maybe you're going crazy I asked that I just check with the closest of my friends something is happening to me they say what did you drink what did you take so there was nobody to tell me what is happening to me all I knew was I have hit a gold mine and I don't want to lose it all that happened was to put it today technically the word yoga means Union Union means in some way you have psychologically drawn a boundary as to what is your individuality right now you are an individual person and that's you this is me very distinctly there but as you sit here you're breathing the boundary of your individuality is being broken by the breath what the trees exhale you are inhaling what you exhale they're inhaling it's not just in the level of breath when you eat food what was yesterday earth today becomes you tomorrow becomes something else not just on that level on every atomic particle level every particle in the body is constantly transacting it is individuality is an idea that we have created in our minds Yoga means you erase that boundary and you experienced everything as yourself this is what the Union means from individual to a cosmic level so on that day just burst forth and I knew you don't have to do anything to make this happen but still you have to do so many things to make people understand what actually inspired you to go for each a foundation and all that it is just that I started sharing with people whichever way I could in my own ways then a huge number of people gathered in a place became necessary I was very averse to forming an organization so I allowed the physical freedom I had at that time I motorcycle across the country I did whatever I wanted but as the number of people gathered and their longing was so strong then we had to set up a place so that is the point and from there then you are going to places you are expanding in America and all I am not expanding people give rise people's longing is drawing us that's all I have no business plan to expand so you have some 1,300 or seventeen-year could you cut some yoga for mine Aamir Khan what is that yes in United States there's a large center coming up now and there's enormous interest in the West because the religions that have been taught to people cannot withstand three intelligent questions if you have three questions the entire teaching will collapse and we have come to a time where human intellect is sparking like never before more people can think for themselves then ever before in the history of humanity people raise questions in their mind and everything heavens will collapse so naturally seeking truth has become it used to be very much an Indian thing forever right from ancient times this is a land of seekers but today this longing to know has become everywhere because it is no more you cannot rule the world by Dogma you have to lot whatever logical questions they have you must be able to answer them you must be able to find solutions for them simply saying this is the way it is is not going to work anymore in the world I understand in Madhya Pradesh you are planning some thousand record your washroom and all that no if I heard something it is been printed in the newspapers I don't know where they got it we have not asked for any land where we have no such plans it's not that we are averse to doing it it is just that there is no such request nor is there a government has said they can give it or not I be asked for it I don't know where they imagine this that she finished just happens to be your admirer and that way he's gone to Coimbatore also with his wife and all for HC daybreak at your ashram that's for his health reasons he has come so that me but is both for his health and for his spiritual requirement he has come that's got nothing to do with his politics politics of course not politics and in Rajasthan also recently visited there's a lot of craze in the bureaucracy among the politician especially the lady chief minister how this all no the thing is this in the last 20 years I have particularly focused on leadership because if a nation or the world has to benefit from anything it's important the leadership is of a different nature what leadership means is your you have the privilege of touching so many people's lives when you have such a privilege I believe that your hands must be super clean you must be of a certain kind if your work is important it is very important that you work upon yourself so I have been striving across the world to touch the leadership in India for example about 14 years ago someone very important in the country came and they went through the inner engineering program and they asked this question Sadhguru this is fantastic what about the country I said see I have a list of 2000 people in this country you give them to me in the next 3 to 4 years you will see the nation will change quietly without any noise happening about it what is that formula will come so this is now 14 years but we have touched about 42 percent of this when I said leadership I was not talking about prime ministers and chief ministers because their term of leadership is very short brief 5 years 10 years max they're going but there is another set of leadership which is solidly there for 25 to 30 years the bureaucracy the business leadership the social leaders if they change the way they look at life if they change their own experience of who they are and what people are to them things will change so we have touched nearly 42 to 43 percent of this 2,000 people we listed and as a part of this we have been touching political leadership also so we have done this programs for under pradesh to some extent for madhya pradesh now to rajasthan we want to see the political leadership the administrative leadership and economic leadership to go through a certain change within themselves because in their hearts and minds if they become little more inclusive everything could be done better people are doing whatever they know best this is how I see Life somebody may thinks he is good he is bad but they're doing that's all they know so that's what they're doing unless you raise their experience to a higher level unless you raise their intelligence and perception of life to a higher level they will not do anything higher so in this effort we are touching the state down mentioned as many leaders as possible you are talking of leadership certain qualities you met with Rajee in Jaipur how you rate her or evaluate her as a leader not as a politician since she is a passionate leader she is passionate about everything she wants to do it is when I individual comes very passionate and fiery about what they want to do they also have to turn back and look if everybody's coming along it's very important so that is one aspect if she takes care of it she can do a lot of things for that state I think she's doing wonderfully in terms of Education and many things but this is not a state with too many resources or educational capabilities or business because it's a certain kind of terrain so I think they're doing the right thing in focusing on tourism but the kind of tourism that is coming to India is very low spending tourism so it doesn't really benefit the people very all backpacking kind of tourism they come see the desert and me they go back so they have to raise the tourism to a different level where the best of the people in the world will come so that the infrastructure and other things need to happen I think they're working towards that it is largely believed that you had the yoga guru of the Panna Sun and Ramadi I am NOT taught him any yoga he has been practicing yoga from some other source I don't know where he learnt it but I have never thought in yoga he's doing a lot to a span yoga to popularize yoga in the country you see as a prime minister of this nation being concerned about the well-being of the nation is his business unfortunately in India we have not seen a prime minister in that context we are thinking they are supposed to do only economic policy this that nope it is it is the leaders business to think of people's well-being so he is talking about clipping keeping your street clean keeping your toilet clean keeping your hands clean for the first time there is a movement there he is put some film stars to activate people to wash their hands with soap I'm saying this is all the concerns of a leader because if the nation has to go ahead how people live has to move ahead so in the same context about keeping your inner dimensions well yoga is an important part when so many tragic things are happening like our children are committing suicide so many things are happening I think it's it is the business of the Prime Minister to see how well we can be brought especially when we have a knowledge in the country we have a certain dimension of knowledge in the nation where we know how to keep our interior 'ti not just for this nation for the entire world we can offer this and it's appropriate that he put it up to United Nations and look at the way the UN responded never before in the history of United Nations 174 countries have voted for anything till now for anything they have not come together for yoga they came together this must be a clear message to everybody the world was waiting for India to take a step it took so many years for us to come to that I am glad that this Prime Minister took that step I think that he is slowly emerging as a global leader obviously there's no question I must tell you this I was in a you know Robert Kennedy 25th anniversary tour there is a kind of a golf tournament on and even there there were over 42 senior Democratic you know congressmen and Senators and others without exception every one of them seeking me out coming to me and telling me you know Morrie they say Morrie the Morrie is a global leader there is no other leader like that in the world right now okay I'm saying they're putting him about Obama clearly so we also it is not about joining a party or appreciating a man my concern is or 400 million people in this country have still not eaten properly if you see a strong leader all of us should pitch on to him and see that the nation moves forward this is our business the problem in the country right now is we seem to be in an election mode all the five years once the election is over once we've elected somebody whoever that is once we have elected somebody it's our business to support them for five years to do their work we should not be thinking anything in between if you are concerned about the people and the kind of suffering Indian going through how you define this modey modey phenomena abroad he has earned it just the way he has expressed himself the breadth of his thought he is earned that from the people even the Muslim countries he is visiting getting lots of response what's it got to do with Hindu or Muslim or anybody it's got something to do with the man's capability so people are appreciating in the world it doesn't matter in the end only competence matters nothing else matters naina Modi when you met him the last about a year ago I met him I wouldn't want to disturb him he has things to do and unless I can contribute something I wouldn't go to anybody I don't go and ever meet any politician unless I think I can contribute something for them to work better otherwise I don't go do you have any views on Baba Ram they were shitty they are suspending you have some art of living or what I am too busy with what I am doing way where is the time for me to have use another people I agree would you feel that Baba Zordon goosh went into business see a success of a nation today is not determined by its military success or even political success the success of a nation is determined by the success of its businesses within the parameters of the law if anybody does good business all of us all of us must clap our hands he doesn't matter who he is if he is breaking the law please take action if he is doing things within the law I think we must appreciate because Baba Ramdev was going around on a hired bicycle with a rented vessel with 50 kilograms of Chavan prash in 1998 in 2016 if he made his enterprise into a 5000 crore enterprise and that too not full-time okay he's only part-time looking at it full-time he's got something else to do he's got his yoga to do I think all of it should be proud of this I don't know why we have trouble with this what's special you are doing on this 21st June international your garden visiting some UN or somewhere so the most important thing for me this year is about four months ago it came to my notice that over 9,000 children below 18 years of age committed suicide in our country over 1,700 children below 14 years of age committed suicide we must understand this much when our children start committing suicide we must clearly know we are doing something very fundamentally wrong with our lives I want everybody the viewers will watch your channel to look at it this way suppose our children committed suicide in our home a 12 year old child can you ever become free from that in your life if a 12 year old child committed suicide in our how on our home we know clearly we are doing something wrong isn't it with life so it's happening in the nation and it's large-scale and one of the main culprits is the education system exactly this education system which was created to be in service of Her Majesty we are still continuing the same thing and killing our children of all the things I chard is an exuberant life a bundle of joy a fresh life if that life wants to take itself out then we must understand we have not figured what is life we have an education system where 98 is the passing mark today when somebody is going on telling a child of 12 13 years of age if you don't get 98 you are no good you're as good as dead that's what he's doing so changing the fundamentals of our education system must happen but that may take some time so I thought let's reach out on that day four months ago I said at least 10,000 schools we must touch and that they hit 10,000 look like a but I traveled through this eight nine states met all the chief ministers and education ministers they responded with enormous enthusiasm and they were deeply concerned about this issue and today we are touching over 30,000 schools approximately somewhere close to two crore children between the age groups of 10 and 16 we are touching the unique thing about what we are doing is we trained forty-five thousand six hundred teachers of ours who are intern training the teachers so this yoga which is a 20 minute protocol of oppa yoga why oopah Yoga is when you teach yoga however innocuous it may look on the surface that is I am here as a living proof when I learnt yoga at the age of 12 I was not looking for anything spiritually in my life I thought it will give me physical promise and that's why I went for it but it exploded in a different form after sometime after 1213 years so however innocuous a yogic practice may be there is a spiritual dimension to it so you cannot transmit yoga large scale to an unconscious population when I say unconscious when the child doesn't know this is a this is what I'm getting into it's not try to transmit in such large levels so that's why we are teaching what is called as oppa yoga which means sub Yoga pre oka now I know the weighing use in normal language almost all the languages uses the word yoga something useful this will bring a tremendous change in your body and in your psychological structure but it does not have spiritual dimension attached to it so this super yoga protocol which is 20 minutes now we are training the teachers so that they can impart this is becoming part of the five-day protocol five day 20 minutes per day protocol for in all these schools in many areas we are also try trying to involve the parents so that it continues at home let us see I hope it gives them some relief so with the initiative will take care of all these cool reforms education reforms no this is this is just a what to say right now they're bleeding it's a band-aid but this will stand with them in their life if they do the practice regularly if it becomes a part of this my fundamental goal is this these are tools for self transformation tools for transformation should not be in the hands of a guru or an organization or some kind of authority it must be in the hands of every individual in this world today everybody has brushed their teeth here because they have a brush of their own if there was one daily garment brush where you had to go on brush probably they would go once in a year and brush because everybody has some a tool to clean up their denture you know their oral cleanliness they're doing it similarly they had tools too you know mental and physical physiological cleanliness they would do it the problem is these tools have not been available without frills now without frills just as a technology why I mean insisting it's a technology is you don't have to believe in it you don't have to like me for this you just have to learn to use it it's like your Samsung phone you don't have to like the Samsung family in Korea you don't have to believe in them you just learn to use it it works for you this is how we are presenting yoga this is why it's called inner engineering you just learn to use it it works for you doesn't matter what is your caste what is you create what is your gender it doesn't matter you just learn to use it so what we shall foundation doing for rural India 70% of our activity is in rural India but largely in southern India we have not come to northern India in the rural capacity because of language you I still can't talk to you in Hindi I can only say in the birth comes your hand that much I've learned it Maserati I think you plan some big annual celebrations let people see the reason why she barratry happens Mahashivratri happens the way it happens is one aspect of it is this is an acknowledgment to the ADI yogi who who represents that day why is it important to acknowledge him he's 15 thousand years ago he's the first one to bring this idea into human mind that if you strive if you're willing to strive you can transcend all limitations which are considered natural limitations upon the human being for the first time he brought you this idea if you are willing you can evolve beyond your present state of existence this is very very important otherwise people will become fatalistic so to bring that idea back to people in a live way that is why that aspect another thing is in terms of planetary position because planet is revolving at a certain angle not straight like this because of this on that particular day the way the gravity or the upward pull of the moon and the Sun works on that day is that there is a natural absurd of energy in the human body when that absurd happens it's very important you keep your spine erect this is why they told you not to lie down on that night so how to keep people up then that night so we have fantastic music dance meditation everything going from evening 6:00 to morning 6 12 hours non-stop celebration so that everybody sits up alive alert allowing this up search to happen nature is asking you to be spiritual on that they just make use of it I think you are a wonderful combine of a specific cement metal ISM when you travel into all helicopters and planes and hotels and bikes and all that people say so how will of God I'll become a spiritual person I also ride Bullock cars I love Bullock carts anything yes I'm I'm slowly abolishing all vehicles inside the ashram and bringing back Bullock carts for people to move around because we want animals we want quietness and no engines roaring so I love willikers also but do you want me to come from Coimbatore ooodle in a bullock cart then you will say I'm a fool if I fly then you say oh he's flying what do you cook somebody comes and ask me because I always wherever possible most of the time anywhere in the world I Drive myself because I believe I am a better driver than most people yes I am everywhere I Drive myself because I like to keep my life in my hands and I Drive better than most people so somebody says you drive your own car what kind of a spiritual person are you this is because people have come to a conclusion that spirituality is some kind of a disability Wow Wow spirituality is not a disability it's the biggest empowerment that a human being can have and why are you going in the car in the ancient times Yogi's used to walk then I said you idiot in ancient times everybody was walking not just a yogi people are curious to know actually in the country you are a son sannyasi or guests I am dressed how you see some sort of a balancing or this combination or mumbly sinuses are away from the receiver they ignore grassy or don't take proper care of grass part of their life how you manage these two parts I manage everything well because I know how to manage my mind perfectly well once you know how to manage your mind and yourself well you will manage everything well how you define spirituality spiritualism in a way if your experience of life transcends the limitations of your physicality that means your spiritual it's the most maligned and corrupted word on the planet right now spirituality does not mean looking up or looking down it's about turning inward what is the truth such such Gaia truth if truth is spoken then it is no more truth Wow what is love erm love how we find love in this life human life if you sit like this a human being is aspiring for pleasantness of life if your body becomes Pleasant we call this help if it becomes very pleasant we call it pleasure if your mind becomes Pleasant we call it peace if it were if it becomes very pleasant we call it joy if your emotions become Pleasant we call this love if it becomes very pleasant we call it compassion if your very life energies become Pleasant we call this blissfulness if it becomes very pleasant then we call it ecstasy if your surroundings become Pleasant we call it success how you utilize marriage the institution of marriage the act of marriage so usually we call a prison or a mental asylum as an institution marriage is not an institution Wow it is something beautiful when it happens between two people they're married otherwise they're in an institution it's terrible how you define that the end of life you want to know what is death some things you know best only by experience you feel there is some fog on in San Monika vodka hot aloo paratha copper uber wala some research or some about approval first let's understand what super then voila will come okay is this planet round or flat for you I really don't know you don't I hear planets round of them yes yes and it's spinning on top of it and you are not sitting in North Pole you are sitting in Delhi at a certain latitude so when it is spinning and you're on a round planet if you look up you're invariably looking up in the wrong direction isn't it so in Delhi when you look up easy to per wala or when you look up in Australia easy to prove all I'm asking so you don't even know what is upper nowhere in this cosmos is it marked that this side up you do not know what is up and down you cannot know what is up and down you are incapable of knowing what is up and down human beings are incapable of knowing what is up what is done you know only relative practical terms will say that is up this is down but you don't really know what is up and down so voila where does it come how you visualize that voila is the prevailing concept or people think about this when you say it's a concept you're admitting you made it up right why is it that we are so eager to make up things why don't we come to this much sincerity in our lives what I know I know what I do not know I do not know if you see I do not know the longing to know the seeking to know is a natural consequence in human intelligence once you have a seeking and a longing to know knowing is just a question of time but instead of seeing that I do not know people have destroyed I do not know with their belief systems somebody believes this is God somebody believes that is God no if you understand you do not know the seeking will come then you will find what it is one thing is clear you and me did not create this existence right because you're human you're thinking a big human being must be sitting up there can I tell you a joke yes please don't become so serious please please this happened in New York City a boy eight-year-old boy came home and he had a very progressive mother when she is so progressive she's bound to be single so he came home and asked mama is God man or woman she thought about all the political correctness of it and the election is coming it's going to be decided now is it my mother woman she thought about everything and then being a very progressive woman she said both then he went into deep thought after some time he came back and asked mama is God black or white she again went into all the racial consequences of this question and then she said both he again went into deep thought then he came back and he asked mama is God straight or gay yes again she thought about all the consequences and then she said both the boy jumped in joy I got it I got it it's Michael Jackson you have some faith we believe these stars famished hot irika world's only effort which may give success or failure see everything can have an influence on you if you allow it this glass way sitting here can have an influence on you because it has its own reverberations so definitely moon and other planets can have an influence on you do you know that on the days of power numbing or full moon day and new moon days people who are mentally unstable tend to become more unstable on those days they do all as you know all mental institutions take a lot of care on those days because people become much more enhanced in that but do you and me become little crazy in those days don't why because you're a little more balanced so similarly the fundamental question is just this what you are referring to as planets and stars or you know inanimate things this rock and soil should inanimate things determine the nature and destiny of human consciousness or human consciousness should determine the nature of inanimate things we should determine the destiny of what happens to physical things not physical things determining what happens to us it all depends where you are if all you know is just your body you're just one more piece of soil after all this is soil that we picked up if you are just that then some other rock will influence you some other form will influence you if you have become conscious of the nature of who you are you determine where you go the entire process the spiritual process means you have taken your destiny into your hands why we said spiritual process means going towards Mukti or absolute freedom means you became free from all these influences and you are going towards your freedom and you have decided to go there not because of any stars or other things and in this country astrologers if you tell them you're on a spiritual path they refuse to predict your future because they know you have taken your future into your hands it is my vision my blessing that this nation should take its destiny into its hands I utilize this world after 50 years how we make it I want to make it a wonderful place because this is a fundamental responsibility we have as a generation of people ease we must understand we are just a pop up on the planet we are here for a brief amount of time in the life of this planet we are just two seconds you and me the world was given to us in a certain way it's our business to leave it little better I hope we leave it better than the way we got it
