Sadhguru-By giving you can destroy someone's life

[Music] [Music] you in every culture anything beyond the normal perception of life anything beyond the normal day-to-day happenings means it's an opportunity to ask and receive things which are not normally available to people the Santa Claus of the West with thankful of gifts or the traditional three bones of India whenever God appears he offers you three bones you can ask him what you want this interpretation or this direction of law and stories that have why this Lord has taken in this direction is always in the world a large population of the world is always deprived always it's been so a large population in the world is always deprived of many things that they would aspire to have but I would say almost everybody's deprived of what they want to have if they have this they don't have that if they have that they don't have this so almost everyone is deprived of something or the other so if a new possibility arises the first thing is to ask and if anybody's of any worth he's supposed to give I know there are various people there are various prayers and lamentations of the so-called devotees where they're swearing by the god and saying if you cannot even give this what kind of a God are you if you cannot even do this what kind of a guru on you where is your compassion in the cyber law Shiva not it's many stories and incidents to highlight the limitation to highlight the trouble that one can get into just by giving indiscriminately the trouble that both the giver and the receiver can get into by simply giving somebody something that for which they are not a death if they had evolved their life to a point to that which they are desiring it would anyway happen but before the reach there they won't have it before you evolve yourself to a point where you're ready to receive something if you receive something the great gift may become a great curse there are any number of people on the planet who managed to somehow manipulate situations to get something that they want and suffered immensely because of what they received they would be better off with the desires but by fulfilling the desire they get into deep trouble so both the giver and the receiver it can be a lot of trouble simply by giving something or by receiving something for which they are not ready many times human beings once they attain to a certain level of attainment they have an urge to be overly compassionate misplaced compassion always comes from your ego you want to be the most compassionate person on the planet wherever anybody needs anything reach out this is not coming from any kind of understanding or wisdom or awareness this is coming from wanting to be the best or the most you know whatever you do you want to be the most wherever you go even if people say I'm stupid people want to say I'm the most stupid person in the world even there they want to start to stand first somehow they want to be the bests one way or the other I want to be the most intelligent or I want to be the most stupid I don't want to be lost in between I don't want to be ordinary I want to be somehow special so you want to be the most compassionate this problem is there among people they want to be the most compassionate - compassion is not about giving or taking true compassion is just doing what's needed you have no preferences of your own simply doing what's needed is compassion you wrapping yourself up into a huge amount of emotion and reaching out to somebody is not compassion this is just self-satisfaction devious ways to fulfill yourself compassion is possible genuine compassion is possible when there is nothing to fulfill in you you're just doing what's needed but always if you get into your deep emotion and do something you think that was a very compassionate moment know you're seeking self fulfillment I'm not saying anything right or wrong it is still coming from a certain inadequacy so an overly compassionate sage was indiscriminately disposing off people's needs the call of his austerities he had attained to a certain capability and he was giving it away so one day she recalled him and tried to advise him see this is not good the way you are dispensing gifts and boons to other people this will not bring well-being to you or to the people whom you give it may bring you much trouble it may bring him much trouble or both of you much trouble so stop giving these booms people come and ask it's okay you don't have to give power thing she was wife who was sitting there she said to call my Lord how is this possible as it is there are very few givers in the world as it is there are very few people who are willing to give anything in the world and a few men who are giving you are trying to restrain them also what is the point at least a few men who are willing to let them give you must explain this to me this is not fair there are very few givers that also you want to discount and make it much smaller then Shiva said seeing this is not about depriving people of something this is are not about depriving the world of receiving something not is it an effort to deprive the person to have the pleasure of giving something it is just that instead of helping people to evolve where they will naturally receive the bounty of life and any world person if you give something you will only overburden him you would only destroy his life you if you're concerned about somebody's ultimate well-being you must put him through the painstaking process of evolving him to a higher possibility where he will receive higher dimensions of life we're receiving just happens to him because it is upset if you gift a ton of gold to an end it will only crush that it will not make that rich it will only crush the end so what you give how you give is very important you don't just give because somebody's asking let me tell you a story once there was a very sweet sage sweet one not like me and he sat in his cave in the mountain and was in into very stringent austerities eating simple food always focused on is sadhana when their king came hunting in the forest then he found this cave came inside and saw the sage totally absorbed in his meditation he bowed down to him and he was his thirsty he wanted to drink water he looked around there he found a real mean looking with vessel all you know a real mean looking vessel you don't have such a thing in our Sun we dispose of the mean looking ones whether their vessels of people or whatever the King talked such a wonderful human being so deep in his meditation so dedicated why should he use such a mean looking vessel so he wrote back then he sent some of his men and said leave to most wonderful golden urns for him to use two golden vessels so his Kings people came took away this mean-looking Wako vessel and put up this golden vessels and after a few days the sage opened his eyes and to perform his morning ablutions and also for other purposes he looked for his vessel it was not there because he could not find it anywhere then he found these two golden vessels it was not very convenient they were too elaborate ornate and heavy but she decided to use it because there was nothing else life went on for a few days one day a very mean-looking person with a mean very mean mind with mean intentions came in the direction he walked into the cave and the first thing is eyes fell on that golden vessels then the sage welcomed this man served him the small mean that he had the man hate but his eyes were fixed on the Golden West the moment they say he closed his eyes to meditate the man picked up the golden whistle and ran when he ran the sage saw in his meditation this man running away it just with the one golden whistle then the sage ran behind him both of them ran the man saw the sage coming and ran faster and faster but because of all this yoga you know the sage could run faster by the time the thief reached the town the sage caught up with him then that man he was too tired to do anything else he placed the golden vessel of the sage feet and said forgive me people gathered around them in the safe said no no I had one more you just forgot to take the other one I just came here to give you the other one and the man didn't know what to do and the people who looked at this whole scene it really humiliated the man because he stole from such a man with running behind him to give him the other vessel that he missed out the sage went back he went back and he started looking for his old vessel he searched the whole cave everywhere here they're in the process of turning everything around he pulled out a few baby mice who were there and also the mother mice when he pulled turned everything around this baby mice fell out the mother Mouse terrified ran away abandoning the children so the sage ended up with five little mice the mother was terrified never came back so he started feeding this baby mice with little grain that he had and they were slowly putting on weight one day a cat walked in and mopped up four of them the fifth one the villi one went and hid in a corner and escaped but four of them the cat mopped it up then this one mice he was feeding it and making it grow then one day the cat came he changed away the cat the mouse was so terrified so the sage out of his compassion thought how long can I protect this mouse every time the cat comes I'll have to open my eyes I have to come out of my meditation this won't work out of his Sidney out of his capabilities out of his sadhana that he has done he decided to turn this mouse into your fierce cat so the mouse became a cat so the other stars cat stopped coming because here there is a fierce cat after some time a wild dog came looking for the cat then he changed away the wild dog but the wild dog hung around waiting for an opportunity to get the cat then he thought isn't doesn't work and again he used his powers turn the cat into your dog then the dog was fine for some time and the dog likes to roam around one day he came running into the cave with a tail in between his legs when the sage saw a panther was chasing the dog he stopped the panther chased away the Panther then he sat there and thought this is getting too troublesome every time I close my eyes hey that I have to protect her mouse or a cat or a dog or something so he's decided the best thing is to turn this into your lion he will be the king of the then I can turn him loose in the forest he will be safe I will have no problems so he turned this dog into your big lion now the lion roamed about the forest when he walked every other animal ran away seeing the line but though this was the body of a lion it still had the heart of a mouse he was feeling very different if they come to know that I am just a mouse what will they do to me he was always going through the struggle you know many people are going through this death in the society in the world they are like lions but inside they're like mice they're constantly struggling within themselves always whenever a person he is placed in a situation which is beyond his richer bond then that person will suffer so much insecurity and fear because of this fear in his mind so many evil thoughts will arise this happens every other day in the world all the time it's happening it happens here also imagine if you give somebody which is beyond their won't if you give somebody which is beyond their capabilities if you give somebody beyond what they deserve suddenly they become so mean minded because somewhere inside they are small they have to put on the big act now they will start thinking all kinds of nonsense so this lion was feeling very insecure he's a lion as far as the world is concerned everybody is afraid of him but within himself he's a mouse then he thought the only other person who knows that I am a mouse is the sage if I finish him off nobody will know that I am a mouse I will be a realign with this intention he walked into the cave the sage was sitting and meditating the lion slowly approached him because if she the lion finishes off the sage nobody in the world will know that this is a mouse as he came closer the sage realized then he looked up the line and said this was not right of me to turn a mouse at you lion and he turned the lion back into your mouth and said get out of here fend for your own life it is nature for a cat to eat a mouse for a dog to eat a cat for a bigger animal to eat the dog it is natural unless they evolved to that position if you give them that position they will only suffer and they will bring suffering upon everybody so Shiva went on with the story and you went brother I will stop here now this traditional what to say temptation that they have created in people if you ever see a holy person if you ever see a sage or a saint first thing is ask for what you want it will happen I am Telling You never ask because if he is wise he will not give but sometimes he's just in a state where it is okay if he says okay you're in trouble because you will get something that you're not ready for if you get things that you're not ready for life doesn't become better life only becomes turmoil in so many ways so when you sit in a certain space when you sit in a certain energy if you notice a certain person place is creating a certain level of energy it seems to be a little bigger possibility than what you are that is a time when you don't think of anything when you don't ask for anything you simplicity if you simply sit you will get to get the necessary nutrient to you all very fast to mutate from one dimension to another once you grow into a certain possibility everything that is possible in the dimension will anyway happen to you if you do not grow into the possibility but just inspire for that then you're just bringing heaps of trouble upon yourself so meditation tempo piano Linga or sitting with a guru is not a time to ask it is a time to imbibe and allow this one to evolve into a higher possibility so that if it evolves what has to happen to it will anyway happen so I feel that there's a very fine line between being trustful and being naive [Laughter] right now you know month ago I was in Hyderabad after I spoke in one of the meetings the local local newspaper next day reported Sadhguru denies God headlines they put the heading of the article was Satguru denies God or something like this and it went on to describe how I did I got why these things happening is simply because instead of instead of using your na white I am constantly trying to help you to be doubtful about everything because I'm telling people anyway you have a doubt about everything you don't trust anybody in your life please see this you don't really trust anybody in your life even people with whom you have lived for 10 years 20 years if they do one act that you cannot understand immediately all kinds of suspicion will arise about them isn't it yes or no if they do just one thing that you cannot understand any number of suspicions will come in your mind a guru is always a suspect so naturally there are more suspicious about him than anybody else unfortunately that's the reality that is why the possibility which is so close is so far being so I'm not asking you to be trustful I'm always asking you to doubt doubt is fine with me but suspicion is a sickness doubt means you're looking as to what is the truth suspicion means you've made a conclusion about it doubt means you don't know you're looking that is a good state to be you're looking constantly naive means you're suspicious and constantly wondering is the other person much smarter than me and still taking me for a ride in spite of all my suspicions these people think they're nice they're actually suspicious but they're constantly wondering that the other person may be so much smarter than them and still taking them for a ride isn't it son there is no really niall person in the world they're suspicious people what down damn I'm suspicious suspicion is not intelligence in fact the lower the level of your intelligence more suspicious you are in your nature somebody who's intelligent naturally trusts people around him at least in the day-to-day FS people who have a small mind are suspicious about everybody around them have you noticed this the less intelligent they are the more suspicious they are always because they can't see figure out one thing from the other they're constantly afraid that somebody will misuse them they are constantly fear that somebody's going to take them for a ride so there will be very suspicious but they're clueless so they call themselves knife they're not 9 they're suspicious but with the brains of a caterpillar now how do the question is how do I know whether I've been taken for a ride or not let's come directly to it isn't it that's the question isn't it let me tell you you are being taken for a ride because you are still not X in that stage where I can either expose or impose or even tell you what it is about it is like I don't know if you've seen but you come from an Asian family you might have seen in India especially mothers have a whole technology as to how to stuff the child with more food than you would normally eat you know you know now they will take so much rice and whatever in the plate the child says no this is too much I am NOT going to eat that okay wait one half of it this half as the child begins to eat they'll mix everything together again let's say the child is it in half of this half then they'll mix this thing together and then again what it sells is no it's too much again make it half okay look you only half I with you again make it half like this they will go on doing and in the end showing Kaka managua ma chandamama this one that one you know all kinds of distractions and unknowingly the child will eat up the whole plate full of rice definitely the mother is taking the child for a ride isn't it yes similarly the Guru is also constantly taking his disciples are devotees for a ride because if you really tell them what they are supposed to swallow they will just say this is impossible and they will run away so because you like everything in installments I'm taking you for a ride in installments but it will never happen in installments it is all or nothing but your willingness comes in installments do you see the first day you arrived at the introductory what level of willingness you were and today what level of willingness you are slowly we have taken you for a ride isn't it making you little more willing little more willing little more willing the way I am talking to you today if I had spoken to you on that day you would have left never to see my face again isn't it so we are taking you for a ride
