Sadhguru-the whole existence is just one energy.

when we add to the word yoga there are too many misconceptions as to what it is I think I'll take a few minutes as to where is the origin of yoga where does it come from a little over 15,000 years ago a yogi appeared in the upper regions of Himalayas nobody knew where he came from his antecedents were completely unknown nor did he care to introduce himself people gathered in thousands but then he said he said nothing he did nothing he simply said there and mowing people waited hoping for a miracle to happen nothing happened their idea of a miracle was fireworks in the sky and nothing like that happened he simply sat there slowly people started leaving because he's not saying anything doing anything eyes closed you can barely make out whether he's alive or not once in a way tears of ecstasy are dripping down his cheeks otherwise nothing is happening then everybody laughed only seven people stayed on because they recognized the miracle so the nature of our body is such to keep it in any decent state you have to attend to daily compulsions you have to eat you have to drink you have to relieve yourself you have to sleep all these things are happening it sits here in a decent manner any one of these things are not fulfilled then it will go into another state here he is implicit here from once on end unmoving so these people these seven people recognized that unless someone has transcended their physical nature one cannot sit like this so they waited for his attention after many months his attention fell upon them and they begged please whatever you are experiencing we would like to know he was little dismissive he said this is not entertainment but they said they're willing to do anything so he gave them a few preparatory steps with which they worked on and after that for many years his attention did not fall upon them when the summer solstice approaches every yogi makes a certain adjustments within himself because whatever happens to the planet naturally happens to this body because this body is a product of the way this planet and this solar system is functioning this is like the potter's wheel by which this has been made he went into an elaborate science of this later but to make it very simple this much is clear to all of us there's a net there's an elaborate science and mathematic involved in this but leaving that aside at least this much we understand that if our mother's bodies were not in sync with the moment of the moon the cycles of the moon we wouldn't be born only because it's in sync with this similarly with the solar cycles certain other dimensions of our bodies have been sync with it and the revolutions of the planet all these things together are made this body the way it is the made the evolutionary process the way it is then he gave this and when he was making these adjustments after many years when the solar solstice came which is the 21st of June it's very significant that the yoga day is fixed on that day then he noticed these seven people had become fantastic receptacles they have been preparing for years and he never noticed them when he saw this level of receptivity he could not ignore them anymore so somewhere around this 21st of June he turned south because the Sun turns out this is called as from Uttara introduction and I turned in yoga from Soler's from June to December is known as sadhana pada from December to June is called as Cavalia pada this is the time of sadhana so he turns out and sat there as Adi yogi Adi guru he they called him our the yogi because they did not know his name so they said he is the first yogi so on this day he sat as the Adi guru or the first guru to throw light upon the nature of human existence so he explore human mechanics in as much elaborateness as you can imagine and he came up with 112 ways in which through which a human being cannot attain to his highest having delivered this or a period of time these seven people took to various parts of the world he asked him to go ahead and do this one stayed with him the other one came to what is now considered as the Indian part of Himalayas another one went to Central Asia another one to North Africa another went to South America one went down south India whose most important for us he is known as the father of southern mysticism this is a Agostini and another one went in South Asia today also I think recently about three weeks ago there was news saying that under the temple under a pyramid in Mexico there is huge quantities of mercury mercury and yoga and Indian alchemy are very closely related and there any number of stories in the yogic lore as to how what happened in southern America some many many years ago thousands of years ago living that aside the historicity what is yoga the word yoga means union union of not just body and mind union of everything to the modern science is telling you the whole existence is just one energy manifesting itself in millions of ways the religions of the world have been screaming for a long time that God is everywhere whether you say everything is one energy or you say God is everywhere are you talking about the same reality or a different reality different ways of expression we are saying the same thing now it is just that a scientist does not experience this he has mathematically deduced it a religious person does not experience this he believes it because it's said by somebody that he values a yogi is a hard nut he wants to know it by his own experience how is it possible for one to know that he is one with everything or everything is one with him let me try to put it as simply as possible this is a glass of water here I'm sure this is not you isn't it hello it's not here but if you drink it it becomes you isn't it 72% of your body is water what is not you becomes you how what is it that defines what is you and what is not you will just do a simple experiment right now take your right hand and touch your left hand please is that you you must confirm to me please is that you yes that's the chair on which you're sitting is that you how do you know this what is the basis what is the basis of your experience which tells you this is me and this is not me sensation isn't here there is sensation or in other words what you're saying is whatever is within the boundaries of my sensation is me whatever is outside the boundaries of my sensation is not isn't it right now this is not within the boundaries of your sensation what is called as drinking is your including it into the boundaries of your sensation the very body that you carry whatever number of kilograms you carry it's just a piece of the planet isn't it yes or no you must get it now if you don't get it now one day you will get it from the maggots and a bit late if you get it now you can transform your life what you carry as your body is just a piece of this earth countless number of people who walk this planet before you and me they were also smart people where are they they're on top soil this will also become top soil unless your friends choose to bury you real deep not because some people fear you may raise from the dead you know I heard that ambassador was in Israel this happened a couple from Texas was 75 years of age been wanting to visit the holy land for a long time and at last when they were over 75 they made the trip they were totally overwhelmed all the history said you know every cobblestone and Jerusalem is full of history the the lane that Jesus walked the place where he walked upon the water where things happened they were overwhelmed by this whole thing and unfortunately the wife had a heart attack and she died now the local people who deal with these things they came to the man and said see if you have to transport your wife's body to Texas it costs twenty six thousand dollars if you do it here all the rituals will finish for ten thousand dollars twenty six thousand plus whatever the local charges there then the man thought about it and said he known now I am taking her to Texas then they said why okay we'll make it 5,000 5,000 he thought about it and said no I am taking her to Texas I said this doesn't make sense twenty six thousand dollars with a plane for for the you know taking the body transportation and then local charge is why all right we'll make it thirty six hundred Salander bargain you know he thought about it and said no then that's why it doesn't make sense he said in Texas dead stay dead so doesn't matter doesn't matter what you think about yourself doesn't matter where do you think you're going we're all you have been as far as your physical body is concerned it is going straight to the grave without hesitation not one moment is it faltering going straight there because this is a material that you picked up the only way you made it yours is by including it into the boundaries of your sensation it is a known fact that if you if you experience a very exuberant moment in your life let's say you're very joyful are very loving to a point where tears came to you happen to you you're so joyful tears came to you at such a time if you just place your hands just six eight inches away from yourself right here you will feel sensations if no such wonderful thing happened to you we'll have to do something horrible will cut your leg right now if you take off your right leg the physical leg will be gone but still the sensory leg may stay intact for some time you've heard of this it's called the phantom leg if you suddenly take off the leg all the sensations of the leg will still remain for a period of time sometimes for days on end it stays or in other words the sensory body has a presence of its own if you make the life within you very exuberant full-fledged life if you become sensory body will expand if you sit here and if your sensory body became as large as this hollow as that which was not us today has become you today isn't it if you sit here you could experience all these people just as you experienced the five fingers of your hand not psychologically thinking or emotionally feeling we are all one but actually if you experience them as yourself after that do I have to teach you models do I have to tell you don't harm this person don't kill this person don't drop this person do you need morality like this anything that you have known as myself with that you're perfectly fine isn't it so if you sit here and make your life energy so intensely vibrant that your sensitive body became as large as the universe then we say you're in yoga because everything you experienced as myself even if you did not stay in that experience even for a moment if you experienced this the fundamental way in which you perceive and experience life is altered this is the basic aspect of yoga that to extend to make this life energy so intense that your sensitive body the area becomes so large that if you sit here in your experience everything is you there is nothing else but you only if you are here no trouble isn't it you and the other is trouble now there are various other aspects to it there is hell that is happiness this peacefulness all these things these things can be addressed in so many different ways one simple way of putting it is suppose you lose your peace today what will happen first those of your lack of peace the family will get it the one or two people at home they will get the first dose you end and yelled at your family you will thought it's normal tomorrow it continued you will pick a quarrel with your neighbour if it continues you start yelling at somebody on the street if it continues tomorrow you go and shout at your boss the moment you shout at your boss everybody understands that you need medical help so you should take you to your doctor initially the doctors try to talk you out of it doesn't usually work so next thing is the throw parent you a pill means what certain number of chemicals if you take this chemicals and suddenly you become peaceful maybe not forever at least for that period of time it works or in other words what you call as peace is a certain kind of chemistry what you call as joy is another kind of chemistry what you call as ecstasy is one kind of chemistry agony is another kind of chemistry misery is another kind of chemistry anxiety is another kind of chemistry stress whatever you call it pleasantness or unpleasantness that happens within you every human experience has a chemical basis to it or in other words this is a chemical shoot are you a great soup or a lousy soup that's a question if I give the same ingredients to ten different people here and ask them to make sure they will turn up ten different kinds of soups isn't it same ingredients all of us same ingredient just see how different each person has made himself now the entire science of making this into your pleasant soup this is one important dimension of yoga but it's not the goal of yoga if your body becomes Pleasant we call this health if it becomes very pleasant we call it pleasure if your mind becomes Pleasant we call this peace 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 and it is become Pleasant we call this blissfulness if it becomes very pleasant we call it ecstasy if your surroundings become Pleasant we call the success only to create your surroundings in a pleasant manner you need the cooperation of many forces around you but to make your body Pleasant mind Pleasant emotion Pleasant energy Pleasant you need the cooperation of just one person that's you external co-op pleasantness you need the cooperation of many many forces not always is it possible but internally only if you're willing it's very much possible so the science of yoga looked at various possibilities how to make this entire system pleasant to be pleasant to be joyful or to be even ecstatic is not a goal by itself it is a fundamental ambience that is needed if you want to explore the full depth and dimension of your life if you want to enjoy your dinner tonight at least you must be peaceful and happy isn't it whether you want to enjoy your work or your family or the people around you or the spring around you you must at least be peaceful and happy so to be peaceful and happy is not the ultimate goal of your life it is the most fundamental requirement of your life if you become like this that you are pleasant by your own nature not because of something that's happening around you your pleasantness is created by you on it stays that way within you this means you have no fear of suffering only when there is no fear of suffering will you dare to explore life in its full depth and dimension otherwise always what will happen to me is always the big question it's a crippled life as long as fear of suffering exists within you you will never dare to take full steps your life will not be full stride it will be always a half a step so to set this you have to create a chemistry of blissfulness whatever this is the way I am if this assurance is there you can jump into anything and do whatever or in other words you are never an issue you have made yourself in such a way that you are not an issue outside there are many issues will deal with it to the extent we can and to the extent the situation allows us but you are never an issue at least this much everybody should do to themselves isn't it I don't know if you will become the richest man in the world or not I don't know whether you'll climb Mount Everest mr. naught I don't know whether you will run faster than mr. bort or not these things will need many things but at least your experience on this planet should be pleasant this is something fundamental this is something every human being needs and deserves at least this much happened this much must happen at least this level of yoga we want the entire world to do yes at least this level of yoga they become peaceful and happy by their own nature whether they get realized whether they will become Yogi's whether they will experience the whole cosmos that's left to them at least making their life a pleasant experience this much everybody must do this much must happen it is with this vision I think the International yoga day so that the world takes to this science for a long time in pursuit of human well-being we've looked up by looking up people have gone into all kinds of hallucinations and we have fought wars we have divided the world in ways we can't fix it terrible things we have done to each other and continue to do even today so many people started looking out for their well-being in pursuit of human well-being we are ripping the planet apart but well-being is not happening because if you want to feel well if you want to know well-being without turning inward there is no well-being by doing things outside you can create comfort you can create convenience but you cannot create well-being as a generation of people we are the most comfortable generation ever on the planet do you agree with me another generation of people could never imagine the kind of comforts and conveniences that we enjoying right now never before but can you claim your the most joyful generation on the planet or the most peaceful one or loving one that is not happened simply because by engineering the external world we may create comfort and convenience but only by engineering you enter interior well-being can happen this dimension of inner engineering is what yoga is about looking at the mechanics of life the technologies and tools for creating inner well-being when I say tools see as human beings we have a place we hold the place that we hold on this planet mainly because of our ability to use the tools otherwise in many ways almost every creature is better than us but we can use tools and they cannot use tools that's a big difference that is set as a part in a huge way now as there is objective tools to create external situations there are subjective tools to create inner situation this is what yoga is about it is not a teaching it is not a philosophy it is not an ideology not a belief system these are technologies for well-being why I am insisting on it being a technologies you just have to learn to use it it doesn't matter who you are if you learn to use it it works that's the thing about technology so yoga is a technology all you have to do is learn to use it it is not that you believe it it's not that you disbelieve it it's not about that because it's a certain subjective tool if you learn to use it it will definitely work for you irrespective of who you are and what you are these tools just enhance a human being in your life if you think the work that you're doing is important first thing is you must work up on yourself we have been striving to bring this to the leadership in the world today I can proudly say many states in India have taken this up the entire administration doing an engineering process and finding enormous benefit we've touched almost 42 to 43 percent of the bureaucratic you know set up in southern India which has made a big difference for them when I was at the Economic Forum I was asked that guru there's one thing we can do for you which will make a difference in the world what is that I said there are 25 people I want you give me these 25 people for four days or five days you will see in three years time there will be significant change in the planet so they asked me who are these 25 people I named the 25 heads of state and it's fantastic today a major nation heads of major nations are talking about yoga for the first time I want you to understand this is lived for over 15,000 years without any kind of one organization pushing it or forcing it never in the history of humanity has it happened somebody put a sword to your throat and say you must do yoga otherwise we'll kill you no such thing has ever happened simply because of its efficacy because it works it's lived today nearly two billion people on the planet are doing some form of yoga I am not happy with that I want the 7.2 billion people to do some form of yoga because it is time we have looked up we have looked out and we will cause much damage it is time the world turns inward for their well-being not up not out in in is the only way out really if you want wellbeing in is the only way out and we want this to happen and it's fantastic that heads of states the Prime Minister took this up and the United States leadership is responding even the word yoga being uttered by the President of the United States is a very big thing and he's acted it too many times in the last few months which is great and I hear that among all the UN resolutions this got the maximum supports 172 countries 177 countries that's truly fantastic that all of them recognize this this is not about selling a product to people let this be understood this is not about propagating a particular culture this is not about making converting everybody into Indian no this is about understanding of fundamental science well being as we there is a science and technology for external well-being there is a whole science and technology for inner well-being and this must happen and for the first time in the world we are in a position we are on the threshold position never before another generation has had this privilege that today we have the necessary resource capability and technology to address every human problem on the planet never before worth is possible only thing that's missing is an inclusive consciousness of human beings and this is what yoga can do beyond religion beyond belief systems beyond caste creed race nationality people can experience a deep sense of unity within themselves which is what the world needs the external technologies are going through the ceiling but who is handling these technologies will decide whether well-being will come or disasters will come outside science and technology that weave the modern science and technology that we have they have no character of their own they are neither good nor bad it all depends in whose hands they are if you do not improve the quality of the hands which hold these powerful instruments today as you sit here you must understand you are not human beings anymore compared to how they were thousand years ago today your superhuman beings tell me 100 years ago if I could pull out something from my pocket and speak to someone in India right now and if I claimed I am God would you believe me or not a thousand years ago if I just had a lightbulb I could have become God you know this damn cellphone came to me very late so I am saying in every way we have become superhuman in our capability when such capability is be privileged by such capability the necessary responsibility which is not as a teaching not as an idea but you will have a deep sense of responsibility towards everything that you experiences myself isn't it it's good that the last part of the message from the Prime Minister he said this could be an ecological solution 100 percent 100 percent if you do not understand that this water is your life we must starve you for five days of water and then one drop of water you will worship it isn't it yes or no this is life making material this is not a commodity this is not something that you buy and sell unfortunately it's become like that but this is life making material the air that you breathe the water that you drink the food that you eat the earth that you walk upon this is life making material isn't it if you do not experience a certain unity with all these things then the way you live will be crass which is what we're doing today what we step on we are not connected with this what we breathe we are not connected with this what we drink and eat we are not connected with this and then we're wondering why we are not well the fundamental aspect of yoga the most basic aspect of yoga is called Bhuta shuddhi that means purifying the fire elements within you this body is just a player fire elements so is the planet so is the universe so is the entire creation just five ingredients you see what magic if you just manage these five ingredients properly within your system being healthy being ecstatic is not out of reach this is not a pipe dream this is technology if you are willing to employ it every human being is capable of it let's understand this when it comes to external realities we are all differently capable what you can do I cannot do what I can do somebody else cannot do when it comes to external realities all of us are differently capable when it comes to inner possibilities all of us are equally capable it's not happened simply because we've never paid attention to it it's great at last we're talking about International yoga this means we are beginning to understand that we have to turn inward this is a great momentous event how big it will become this year it doesn't matter this has to be continued because this is a momentous step that humanity is taking right now most people may not understand the significance of what this is they may think this is a bubble bath day ya know yesterday was a Mother's Day and Mother's Day was started by the Nazis the Hitler's time and we are celebrating it anyway all these things there's also a bubble birthday there are all kinds of things every all the 365 days have been taken by somebody no but a normal person there is no day left this is not one more thing like that this has to become a momentous step for Humanity because this taking not looking upward or outward for well-being but turning inward for well-being is a step that human humanity has to take and human intellect has blossomed like never before that more people are capable of thinking for themselves than ever before in the history of humanity when this has happened offering solutions in another place somewhere is not going to work people want solutions here once they want solutions here turning inward is a natural process and it's very significant that this day has been declared and it's a it's a moment of great pride for us because a political leader has taken this stance not Yogi's political leader has taken the stance it's a fantastic and very visionary step which will go a long way thank you very much if you have any question I could address of course you Kuji it's a great honor to see you and hear you talk personally we welcome you to DC and just talking about inner peace and turning inward I just wanted to ask you you know there are all sorts of people in the world and if a person is living in abject poverty and fighting each day to feed a hungry family or a sick family or Street beggars who are named at childhood etc how does that person even have the time to look inward considering the struggles he has to go through hard to our thank you I know this is always there is not that I am not concerned about it but I want you to understand there are more people on this planet or healthy and miserable then unhealthy and miserable yes or no at least if you are healthy you are a good excuse healthy people have no excuse but they're miserable too so why is this happening if instead of addressing human wellbeing in an essential way we always want to look at the scabs that humanity has yes there are still many things that have to be settle there are war zones there are famine zones there are ugly patches on the planet which have to be fixed all that is there but let me talk about you and everybody like you whose stomachs were full everything that you need is around you compared to your parents and your grandparents materially you're way ahead of them yes or no where'd of them but I'll ask you a simple question how many of you can say at least one day in your life that is one 24-hour segment in this entire life have you spent absolutely blissfully not a moment of agitation irritation anger anxiety nothing simply bliss dot I'm telling you you and handful of people on the planet cannot say yes to this if one day did not happen the way you want it that's understandable but not even one day happened the way you want it that means something fundamental is off-the-rack isn't it the reason why somebody is not able to eat let me tell you in 2011 it seems the world produced in a food for 7.2 billion people we were only 6.8 billion people on that day but still half the population doesn't eat why do you think that's not the point it's good somebody grows a head the problem is there is no inclusiveness there is no sense of you have we're in a state that somebody else suffering is not our suffering all right so what is needed is a more inclusive experience on the planet if we did not have food and people are hungry that's okay what to do that's a reality we have enormous food and people are hungry that's a crime isn't it yes it's not a disparity it's a crime when there is excessive food on the planet and half the population is hungry and malnourished it's a serious crime as far as I'm concerned if only now that the leadership is talking I am saying those 25 people's I talked about of the major nations if they experienced everything around them as a part of themselves in in 1 year or 2 years time significant change can happen on the planet isn't it it's not happen because we are always going by this because we like to go on plucking our wounds and going on focusing on that ok that child was not eaten on the street what about this man person what about this war all those things are there are you interested in the problems on the planet or are you interested in solutions on the planet if you are interested in solutions taking an inward step particularly for all those people who hold responsible positions in the world is important because once you're a leader what it means is every thought that you generate every emotion that you generate every action that you perform is going to impact millions of people when such a privilege is at hand how you should keep yourself is important isn't it no such work has been done our whole idea of education right now is how to enhance our capability not to enhance the being I am saying if you enhance this being your activity will naturally rise now without enhancing the fundamental life within you you're trying to enhance your activity which is horribly stressful because you mentioned the word peace peace is not even a issue when you're five years of age as a child being peaceful and happy was it not natural to you so at five if you were peaceful and joyful by the time you're 30 you should have become ecstatic but just the reverse happened so we have to see what are we doing wrong isn't it today everybody is going about talking as if peace is the ultimate goal of their life even so-called spiritual leaders are talking about it believe me such people lonely rest in peace yes because because of certain depravation these things are being said I must tell you this because the ambassador's been in tel aviv i was to speak in tel aviv a few years ago i flew in from atlanta i am supposed to land there in the morning and speak at 6:30 in the evening but because of some delays i landed there at 6:00 in the evening so i quickly change in the airport i am rushing to the place because in this 33 years of my activity i have not been late to a single appointment yet so i am rushing there and I've been flying an american airline there's nothing edible on the plane so i'm starved to my joy i see the venue where i am supposed to speak happens to be a wonderful restaurant i said this is great as i walked in people were beating me and one man came and said Salaam I said fine what does that mean he said this is the highest way of greeting I said that's your opinion but what does it mean so no no this is really the highest way of greeting all right but what does the word mean he said this means peace I said why would peace be the highest way of greeting unless you're born in Middle East in South India somebody comes up to me in the morning and says peace I'll say what's wrong with you today whatever you deprived off becomes the highest thing these are all simple things to be peaceful to be joyful to be loving his human nature isn't it if you don't mess yourself up if you don't know this get yourself a dog when all other people fail you you will get a dog you know if you want to learn some joy some love at least get a dog you don't need to go to heaven to this but unfortunately today if you say peace people said divine peace if you say bliss you said divine bliss if you say love you said divine love we don't know whether divine can love or not if human being keeps himself well he can be peaceful joyful loving all that is human quality please do not export it to heaven we don't know whether it's useful there or not here it's useful to be peaceful to be joyful to be loving internal engineering and technology and this has been evolved for the last several thousand years I noticed that a lot of this technology is being compromised by through different types of yoga's hot yoga and Christian yoga and such and such yoga do you think the technology is being compromised the internal engineering is being compromised or the definitions are being compromised so the thing is when there is this is a market economy the whole world right now okay including Russia and China so when it's a market economy it's all a question of demand and supply there's enormous demand not enough supply so just about anybody and everybody is trying to invent their own form of yoga okay it could be dangerous for a period of time but right now I think it's alright because they're generating interest but classical yoga is of a different nature this is the work I feel this international day this is what we need to do to bring the profoundness of yoga to the West because only the physical of yoga has come largely to make it a profound process is the most important work but whatever this other types of yoga's you're talking about you don't have to fear them they're okay these are things which always happen when things happen large-scale things happen but today somebody will do that kind of fanciful yoga even if it benefits them a little bit then they will look for something more profound and more profound that will happen but making profound classical system of yoga largely available to the world is in and right now the important thing is not getting demand there is too much demand to give supply is the biggest problem because it will take months and years to train a person properly to classical system of yoga it will take years of practice and in today's world one very scarce material is dedication in a weekend you can become a teacher so if I tell you three years you must come and study with me because somewhere else in two weekends you're certified okay that's okay that's part of the commercial process but I think it'll level out somewhere thank you very much' Guruji and it I'm really very much awake and delighted about her I'm glad you're awake yes and as you know the yoga is stance transforming the health and as you mentioned that the time will come or the it will transform to the humanity to take care of the neighbors and all humanity it will take time or is reaching there because we are all very much mature with the knowledge but not with the science behind that wherever there's inability or in capability about a plan they always fall back on prediction please don't fall back on predictions I am asking you when will you make it happen around you what is your plan international yoga day is a plan not a prediction no that is exactly what I am saying I am saying there is no guarantee it'll transform if we do the right things it will happen otherwise it will not happen the many great things on which we have sat on for too long and nothing has happened all right so I am saying we have to make it happen nothing happens out here a long time ago my grandfather gave me an article by written by you when you said that everyone's trying to be not that old as your grandfather I believe that but you started pretty young I guess in yoga so the article ended but you think that you know everyone's trying to be extraordinary uh but being ordinary is extraordinary and that's stuck with me and my grandfather the reason he gave me that article was because he said that just try and be yourself and whatever comes to you just go with the flow and have some detachment that will take you very forward in life and I've lived my life through that with it with what he wanted me to be but I wanted to ask you don't you think that the kind of dedication and detachment that's required to go with the flow is extraordinary this whole thing came up because at one time we used to print brochures like this inner engineering ordinary to extraordinary so I start the program first day second day third day people are such things with Guru nothing special happened to me then I said I never talked about being special to the extraordinary you said I said yes this is about becoming Extra Ordinary more ordinary than others the sickness in the world is you always want to be better than somebody which is a great sickness if you enjoy somebody else being less than you I think it's sickness right now the whole thing is about who is number one who is number two what's wrong with number 100 and asking everybody has a place to fulfill everybody has the role to play in the world so instead of living by comparison if you see how to make this life into your full fledge life see this is what by nature every life is seeking whether it's an earthworm or a grasshopper or a tree what are they seeking they're just driving to become full-fledged what they are nothing more but it's easy to define what is a full-fledged earthworm what is a full-fledged grasshopper what is a full-fledged apple tree we can define what is a full-fledged human being we are not able to define because wherever we keep you you want to do something more isn't it yes or no whoever you are right now you want to be something more if then something more happens what something more if that happens what something more let's say we made you the queen of this planet don't look at me hopefully I will not mix it blunders I'm just asking you suppose we make you the queen of this planet would you be fulfilled you will look at the Stars isn't it that is the nature of the human being the very nature of who you are is that you want to expand limitlessly you want infinite expansion but unfortunately you are going at it in installments can you approach infinity in installments can you count one two three four five and one day say infinite is it possible now it's endless counting the very nature of who you are is such suppose I imprison you right now in five by five cubicle for three days you will feel horribly imprisoned then we'll announce your liberation and liberate you into ten by ten cubicle you'll feel wonderful for a day again you'll feel imprisoned now will liberate you and you 100 by 100 cubicle you'll feel great for three days again the same thing it does not matter where I set the boundary the moment you can feel the boundary you want to break it yes or no so there is something within you which does not lack boundaries there is something within you constantly longing to become boundless but the only problem this is a fantastic goal for you you are seeking to become boundless or infinite is not a small thing but the method you are employing the vehicle you are using to get there is hopeless because through physical means you're trying to become boundless the very nature of physicality or the fundamentals of physicality is a defined boundary only because there is a boundary physical is possible right now we call this a physical body because it is a defined boundary if I take away all the boundaries of this body can you call this physical so the fundamentals of physicality is boundary but your innermost longing is to become boundless through physical means if you approach boundlessness it's going to be an endless run so the entire dimension of what is being referred to as spiritual is just this spiritual does not mean you see things walking in the corners of dark streets spiritual does not mean you look up or down no it is just that your experience of life is transcended the physicality of who you are because physicality as we looked at it some time ago is something that you accumulated over a period of time what you accumulate you can claim is yours but if you say it's me you kind of lost it isn't it suppose suddenly I show you this client this is my glass you will think well Satguru has some problem but let's listen some more people say his wife after some time I said this is me then you will say let's go because this is a clear case of madness isn't it this is happening to you every day food appears on your plate you say this is my food you eat it and then it's me once you start thinking what is not you as myself your fundamental perspective of life is distorted from that distortion whatever you do it will only be a struggle because it will not find fulfilment at least you must be able to see what is me and what is not me this is the fundamentals of in engineering if you sit here bodies here mind is out here what is you is somewhere else once there is a little space between you and your body between you and your mind this is the end of suffering because you know only two kinds of suffering physical suffering mental suffering do you know any other kind of suffering this is the only two things which are bothering you both these things are miracles human body is a miracle human mind is a fantastic miracle but both these things have become misery manufacturing machines right now simply because you have a supercomputer and you have not even bothered to read a user's manual this is the problem with you this international yoga day you must at least start reading the user's manual what is the nature of this let's start looking at this thank you very much for being putting an end to the cycle of birth and death I always insists that you don't believe anything that is not yet your experience it doesn't matter whose exit this does not mean disbelief now you don't know that's all somebody tells you a story you don't know whether it's true or it's not true so even if I say something don't believe this nonsense anything that human beings can do is essentially an expression before they are somebody sings a song somebody dances somebody writes a book somebody paints a picture whatever else we do it's an expression of who you are

Sadhguru is such a wonderful and powerful influence in my life. He always helps me view things from an objective perspective.

Thank you for sharing the guru's videos and introducing him into my life. He certainly phrases things in such a simple manner that helps me explain them to others when we delve into deeper conversations. It also motivated me to get back into doing yoga.
