Sadhguru - Question and Answer - London School of Economics

[Music] [Music] that's greater an absolutely selfish world that means what I want for myself I want for everybody in the world [Music] [Applause] Thank You Satguru for the wisdom we would now open up the questions for the flow and you can raise your hands I thank you very much that group for them okay thank you very much for that exciting discussion so I wanted to ask normally as students we start the term very exciting very excited and we do things very as you said bless Willie but by the end of the term we with a lot of outside pressure we moved from blissful to stressful so my question is how to maintain that positive or Pleasant State experience well you need to understand the simple mechanics of how this functions see now all of us are sitting I don't want to pick on all of you let's say three or four of us are sitting here each one of us is sitting in our own different ways the geometry of your body and your chemistry are very related how you hold your body will determine I'm a quick learner this is results so the simple thing that we need to learn is we become conscious of how we hold our body how we breathe how we walk how we move and also how our thought emotion are the things function within us just sticks you have the necessary awareness and intelligence it's just never been applied you're busy applying it to the world by applying it to the world a few situations in the world may change but your experience of life will not change see as a generation of people never before another generation of people knew these kind of comforts and conveniences that all of us are enjoying isn't it so hello aren't we the most comfortable generation ever we are but are we the most joyful generation ever No so obviously by changing the outside situation we can create comfort and convenience you cannot create well-being because human experience happens from within there is this is not just a random thing there is an entire science as there is a science and technology to address external well-being there is a whole science and technology to address inner well-being today our education systems I'm sorry I'm not making a critique of an institution like this our education system from kindergarten onwards there is nothing about you you're reading about the worm you're reading about the butterfly you're reading about the plant you're reading about the globe you're reading about other galaxies nothing about this one yes but human experience is 100% manufactured within you is it so have you seen in the same given situation one person is thoroughly enjoying it another person is immensely suffering it so obviously it's not the situation isn't it you can do whatever you want because they did not handle it properly they invented heaven okay heaven means what should I go into this anyway everything is fantastic out there that is the marketing why nobody wants to go today because they don't know if it's really there when somebody believes that is really there they will do totally dastardly things all others just a little psychological hold on food is best if you're you know in Hindu heaven food this fantastic if you are if you're a foodie you must go to Hindu heaven in another place all those white ground ladies are just floating around in the clouds if you like that kind of ambience you go there in another place you'll encounter virgin problems if that's what you're looking forward to that's where you go there but you must understand this you go there only what is the qualification to go there you have to die hello yeah use it so in LSE also if you have to go to heaven you have to die when you die we usually either burn or bury or cut you and put you two birds depending on your culture we do whatever one thing is this body is a loan from this planet when you are done with it you must put it back if you've not done anything ecologically sensitive this is one thing you will do alright so you left your body here and went to heaven when you don't have a body what do you do with good food and virgins and all this stuff I'm asking these are all bodily issues isn't it hello when you have a body all these things so I want to down the heavens people should eat good food here people should float around like angels here whatever lustful longings they have when they are young they must finish it here they should not become sick dreaming that something is waiting for them up there what do you think should be down to heaven and above all another wall do you have any proof do you have any proof to prove to me that you are not already in heaven and making a mess out of it do you have any proof you are already in heaven making a terrible mess out of it if you sort yourself out you will see this will feel like heaven of all the planets we know in whatever explorations we have done in this universe this is the best place do you agree with me you are already in heaven why are you such a mess you need to sort this out the only reason why you are such a mess is you are not fixed like other creatures for all the other creatures nature put two lines between which they live and die but for human beings there is only bottom line there is no top line that's what they are suffering if you're suffering your limitations I can understand your suffering your freedom that is what is the disaster right now if you were fixed like every creature you wouldn't be stressed isn't it all other creatures are like this term accrual life settled but you are made like this stomach empty only one problem stomach full 100 problems this is simply because you are not able to hang your own faculties we gave you a supercomputer but you did not read the user's manual that's all your problem is Thank You namaskara madam I would request you to please guide us more on the issue of whole interpretation of religion as you said that it has to be a personal matter religion as a concept as I you've mentioned before it was a new concept for India and its surrounding places earlier but people do lines on those leaders and social cultural aspects as well which eventually led to conflicts so how do you see inner engineering yoga as the way of resolving that conflicts and turning towards the inner self and breaking the barriers of religion well those who are not in cape who those who are incapable of making a plan and executing the plan always look forward to predictions what prediction means is you just hope it will happen you are not willing to lend your life to make it happen that's why I'm telling you all of you young people should strive towards it of course people will derive you somebody wants to kill you I have never abused anybody but people want to kill me death let's keep coming what for simply because you ask questions for which they have no answers I have never abused them I have not abused their gods I have not abused anything I'm just asking questions you went to heaven all right but without a body so how are you going to eat food good food and how are you going to do anything with these virgins what are you going to do when I asked them why are they feeling so insulted so this is one way for a long time it's been like this for a couple of thousand years one way to handle questions is kill the questioner it's been an effective way till now but no more he's not going to work like that because today not this one person is going to ask questions a billion people will ask questions yes once you raise a question the whole world knows this is a question and everybody will ask the question there was a time we're only one person raised the question in a village or a town and you killed him and the question was over those days are over so this is why you don't have to abuse anybody but you must ask relevant questions isn't it hello dering relevant questions whatever matters in our lives should we not ask questions at least even if you don't have answers you don't have to abuse anybody you don't have to derive anybody but you must ask questions because if you ask three intelligent questions 90% of the scriptures on the planet and all the three heavens will collapse right now with your blessing I've started my journey one question I like we share that we meet people we meant to meet or is it a destiny luck or fate have you just fallen in love with something no no because I don't want to disturb the romance say look at it this way since you woke up to their money till this moment let's leave the sleeping time since you came awake fully from that moment of this moment your body has been doing its things isn't it so physical activity is happening both outwardly and inwardly happening or no that's why we are alive it's happening mental activity has been happening emotional activity is happening energy activity is happening how much of these four dimensions of activity did you perform consciously from the moment you came awake till now how much do you think what percentage what percentage well below one percent believe me when you perform activity consciously less than one percent over 99% is unconscious everything will look accidental something everything looks like divine intervention because 99% of the time you're unconscious do one thing when you drive today to wherever you drive 99 percent of the time close your eyes and drive you will see how many people you will meet but if you drive with your eyes open fully conscious you're not going to meet anybody like that this is it the bank things will happen in a completely different way how conscious we are will determine how much of your destiny you determine how unconscious you are determines how much of your destiny is accidental everything that's accidental we want to attribute it to some other force elsewhere now this must stop we must understand it is we is there no other force of course you didn't make the creation nor did I all right you did not create this creation nor did I create this creation there is but that is a different dimension altogether and what is happening with you right now is entirely your making from where you come from in India this is the only culture on the planet which constantly told you your life is your karma karma means you're doing your life is your making whatever may be happening you may be able to logically figure out why it is so you may not be able to figure out but still you know one thing if this is happening to me this is my making this is the greatest empowerment you can have when you understand my life is my making whatever happened till now it doesn't matter how will you make your tomorrow I'm asking you if you clearly clearly know 100% my life is my making how will you make the next moment how will you make a tomorrow how will you make your future in a most beautiful way isn't it so that's what needs to happen I have two questions and one is related to the should one at a time I'm a simple guy because you were just talking about our life please let me close sorry so that we make our lives right and what about what about the people that have it very high what about the people that are exploited sexually what about the people that have been like in the worst scenarios for many years of drudgery I think is so unfair I do agree with it but I think is unfair to say that this is the responsibility of the individual to be okay because for some I made a simple statement you making a philosophy out of it okay there are many segments of society please you can hold on to the microphone and sit down see there are various levels of life happening on the planet in London City there are richest people living in highest levels of pleasure and comfort there are people who are living the worst possible life within the city yes or no you don't have to go all over the world to see that right here so if we create a society where there is such disparity I'm asking both you and me have it responsible for this no no will come will come I just answered I am asking the question now Abbie maybe we can't change it tomorrow morning I know that but are we if we see we are we will start working towards a solution otherwise we'll try to make a living out of problems a whole lot of people in this world have invested so much in the problems they are only making a living out of problems evolving philosophies of problems the only thing that matters is a solution isn't it not in how many ways we glorify the problem the only and only thing that matters when there is suffering for a human being is a solution yes or no whether it comes from up down whichever way the hell it comes who cares whether it comes from heaven or hell we don't care when somebody is in some state of suffering the only thing that matters is a solution so if solutions have to happen who created the problems you can say it's this guy or this person or that person no no we as human beings have bred problems isn't it when I have a glass of water I'm not willing to share it with the person sitting next to me why do you expect a man who has a billion dollars to share it with somebody I'm asking hello and you are not willing to share the little things that you have you have a philosophy why are the rich people not sharing with the poor people they will not because your argument is but I don't have enough but even they don't have enough they may have a hundred billion dollars but they don't have enough that's what you need to understand this is the nature of human being you may think they have too much but they don't have enough as you don't have enough nobody has enough in this world yes or no only thing is just this that's why I told you your service sacrifice selflessness all these things these are all con jobs that's why I told you at least what is the worst in you your greed expand your greed towards everybody's well-being we can work towards it with all the problems go away tomorrow morning no we can only work towards it isn't it if all of us work towards it will it go away hello if every one of us really strive towards it will it go away yes it will isn't it relate or will it not usual but till now the problem has always been about how to get all the human beings on one page there are different nations there are different races there religions skin color dis nonsense that nonsense every kind all right for the first time for the very first time in the history of humanity two things have happened one thing is our survival is better organized than ever before there is enough resource technology for every problem we have a solution at hand and for the first time we can sit here in this room and speak to the entire world never before this was possible see many people have come he mentioned names Ramakrishna Buddha Jesus this one that one all kinds of people when they spoke hardly ten people heard yes or no this is the first time you can sit here and speak to the entire world when such a privilege is there is it not your and my responsibility to say the right things right things to put all human being beings on one page hello if we do this because never before this was possible now it is possible as a generation will we make it possible are we just a wine generation pointing fingers at each other and we will die like this this is the choice we have this is the reason why I am going from university to university though I avoided every damn University when I was your age [Music] now I am going to university to university because this is an opportunity which is for the first time in the history of humanity that if we want to change something we can because we have the resources we have the technology we have the capability and we can share this with the entire world never this was possible please let's make it happen I love what you said about we want to blossom as human beings little closer please oh sorry we want to blossom as human beings that's how many 5 elements I'm actually nervous talking but with new opportunities also comes fear and self-doubt and I'm wondering how can we navigate these very strong forces in order to reach our fulfillment I guess in our potential so yeah that is you there is a world or let's say there is you and there is the rest of the existence those forces you cannot ignore they are all there I want to fly away can I fly away notice gravity which holds me down like this in every activity in every possibility there are forces which supporters there are forces which holders there are forces which rises there are forces which put us down all kinds are there you haven't been surfing ok if you go in a windsurfing or hang gliding or ocean surfing somebody rides the wave somebody who doesn't figure it out gets crushed by the same wave doesn't it so hello somebody just yes riding on the wave somebody else drowning beneath the wave same wave isn't it what's the difference do you think somebody figured it out somebody did not pay enough attention to figure it out the most fundamental thing that you need to figure out is not the waves not the wind not the sunlight the most fundamental thing that you need to figure out is how does this function now you're talking about your fears your anxieties your struggles these are not waves and wind and fire and something else these are just your own thoughts and emotions isn't it see please under I'll make it extremely simple for you human beings are suffering all right variety of suffering there's a champion sitting there but I'm asking all of you leave those people who are in war zones who are in extreme poverty and some violence believe that we can excuse them because for them suffering is coming from outside how much of your suffering ever has come from outside I'm asking when was the last time you were stabbed with a dagger even though you are living in London I hear a lot of knife crimes in London when was the last time you were stabbed hey even you would not no yes I know but I am asking when were you stabbed no not you nobody in this room so what I am saying is the amount of suffering that coming to you from outside is minuscule rest is on self-help isn't it why are you generating suffering for yourself what is it simply because you have not taken charge of your faculties what is it that you're suffering if you ask people you will see even you let me ask you you are capable of suffering that happened 10 years ago to you isn't it 10 years ago this happened still suffering and you are capable of suffering what may happen to you day after tomorrow already yes or no so you are not suffering life let me make this very clear to you you are not suffering life you are suffering to most fantastic faculties that only human beings have which no other creature have which is a vivid sense of memory and a fantastic sense of imagination you are suffering your memory and your imagination so what you're asking is please make me like an earthworm once again I will live peacefully if we remove half your brain for sure you will sit here peacefully isn't it no fear no anxiety no trouble nothing so the problem is you are complaining about your evolutionary forward moment of life you want to be back there if you had the brain of an earthworm stomach full you would be so peaceful is this the way to handle this possibility I am asking you this is the greatest privilege that every little thing that happens to us we remember vividly and we can use this memory to project and try to create those things in our life this is our greatest privilege which no the creature has on this planet at least on this planet we are the most privileged life but we are the messiest one simply because neither your parents nor your teachers nor your institutions have done anything as to how to handle your own faculties they're teaching you how to mess with the globe and of course you messed very effectively nothing about how to do this if you knew how to conduct this would you create fear for yourself anxiety for yourself misery for yourself or joy for yourself I'm asking you joy so the problem is not with the world the problem is as I said you have a super supercomputer you are refusing to read the user's manual just by accident you want to handle this it's a mess last question hi thank you very much I'm extremely impressed and I have a request one request and one question first I will put forward my request so we want to be the lucky ones who are in the same room to experience the vibe and aura that Ranveer Singh did when you danced with him so would you do that for us here in LSE guys I want you to clap if you we we get fulfilment there's a question me after the dancer before that okay my question so high let's lean around extremely low rock band here so I'm extremely impressed how you've said that religion shouldn't be a national goal it should be something very personal and we should talk about the right thing but someone you know as someone so many people look up to you know don't you think you have a social responsibility to voice your concerns about some specific parties who are trying to spread religious extremism or because we can't please everyone can be so what are your thoughts on that because I told you uh you you just said that you don't endorse a political party and you don't want to influence anyone to vote for someone but don't you think we should stand up against something which is wrong I am not against anything that's what I want you to understand I am for humanity human beings have come in variety of ways it's okay with me because if all of them became like me I wouldn't want to live in this world they're all different that's why tonight look at them how different they are each one that is why it is nice but all the idiots are trying to make everybody like themselves just imagine in your home if there's one more person just like you could you live this one is too much isn't it but they want a world full of their own kind so I am NOT against anybody it's okay everybody is saying what they're saying as long as they don't get overly empowered it's alright they're expressing their opinions opinions are like attracts the more you have them the less you see I am trying to bring clarity to them also people say so the guru you are seeing with the celebrity why did you sit with this person you have seen with this politician why did you sit with this person I say see for last 22 years I've been working in the prisons both India and United States I am constantly with murderers rapists and all kinds of people they are also okay with me because human beings do all these things the question is only will we as a generation create a situation where human beings can evolve into higher possibility or do you want to shoot this one hang that one do that do this is this your solution believe me those people who thought they are bringing solutions forcefully always caused the worst kind of situations on the planet yes or no those who believed that they are bringing a solution forcefully they did the worst things isn't it so those who believe they are going to send you to heaven they did the worst things those who believed forcefully they will level everybody and bring equality they did the most horrendous things on the planet we don't want to make the same mistake I want you to understand those mistakes are no more affordable with modern weaponry and modern technology those mistakes are no more possible on this planet if we commit the mistake of what I'm not supposed to mention these names what Mussolini said of Hitler's Joseph Stalin's and whatever the religious nut cases have done if we attempt the same thing in 21st century we'll finish the whole humanity we cannot afford that anymore so the only way for all of us to progress is that whatever I think of you you actually accept you for who you are right now and see how we can all be in the same page at least on a few things we all want health we want all all of us want to live joyfully peacefully at least on these things we are on the same page well you worship that God in the east I worship this in the West I have somebody worships something else somebody else doesn't worship a damn thing is their choice let them do whatever but the important thing is human needs fundamental human needs of this once physical needs are taken care of which fortunately for this generation like never before though still there are complaints there are segments of society unfortunately left out of that still the largest number of human beings their survival is better organized than ever before yes or no it is so today if you have the money you can go to the store and buy what you need for the next one year and not step out of your house and still manage believe me if you were here 100 years ago or thousand years ago if you want to start your day you must take your bucket and walk a mile to River Thames to get your water most of you are not even fit to carry a bucket full of water for a mile anymore you sir know so survival is better organized than ever before forever we've had problems of food water shelter clothing for the first time all of you have five times more clothing than what your grandparents had yes or no huh all of you have five times more clothing then what your grandparents had you are also eating right now how to eat less is the big deal this is the first generation which has to be worried about how much to eat always every generation of people when they sat down for a meal they stuffed as much as they could into themselves because there was so much physical activity to do if you see the last generations of people how they ate when they sat down for a meal they would sit like this no in India they'll sit on the floor they'll eat and it's full and little more and little more a little more because there is so much to do physically if you don't eat like that you will run out of gas literally it's like gas you know like filling the tank you want to fill as much as you can this is a first generation which has to be conscious of how much to consume because otherwise you'll become like a balloon because you're not doing anything so everything is better organized than ever before survival is better than ever before this is the time to transform human consciousness to transform or to raise human consciousness we are doing various levels of activity one you know you must sit through this in many different ways otherwise you will you want to understand why we are doing variety of things for this purpose because all these things have to be done if you don't know all the points there is no game I want all of you to participate in whichever way you can to raise human consciousness either by yourself or seek our help we are doing many things across the world please be a part of it the important thing is all human beings if their focus is towards their will being and everybody's well-being irrespective of who they are he is he's a bad neighbor for me but I want him to be well alright this is important I don't have to say no you're a fantastic neighbor you're not but I want you well no I'm not making a national comment one please do not understand whether he is from what from Pakistan are from Kerala it means the same thing I'm saying here see I don't have to say fantastic things about you yes you're a bad neighbor but I want you well because I know if you are well you will be fine with me when you're not well you will try to infect maybe the same thing it's very important everybody around you or well if you want to be well isn't it so this is why I am saying be absolutely selfish it is just that why selfishness and greed also you're stingy wine that also you're stingy at least in that you can be generous you can't give away things all right at least be absolutely selfish know what I want for myself I want for everybody that's greater an absolutely selfish world that means what I want for myself I want for everybody in the world that's make it happen thank you this I saw you were beating you know this thing if it can hold me but so would you like to entertain the request when is like here please that's right that's fine thank you thank you very much Sabu thank you [Music] [Music] you [Music]
