Sadhguru - Wonderful Question and Answer Session in Australia

[Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] it'd be lovely to hear some specific questions so maybe I don't know who's a judge here maybe you can be such video here we go thank you very much for coming to Australia my question is regarding most of your videos so you always mentioned about the need of collaboration of other people to be successful so you always mention that to be success successful we that's the only time that we need a collaboration of other people for other things like our energy and our emotions everything can come from within and my question is that because environment and other people and society and everything can have can have effects on our emotions as well on our energy how to manage that and not be affected by the environment so how how to be calm and happy and not be affected by surroundings of to separate these things together sorry thank you very much sir very often people come to me and say said guru I can't stand my mother-in-law she's impossible my husband after all her son my wife she's terrible my boss unbearable like this then I tell them you come you come to the Yoga Center your mother-in-law husband wife boss nobody will come here just you we'll give you a nice place to stay good for to eat you don't have to do anything just stay in your room we supply food for you you just live there only thing is I will make random checks on you when I check you must be joyful if you're miserable I don't believe in feeding misery we'll stop feeding you just 24 hours you keep them in one place in how many ways they twist themselves out unbelievable so I'm asking you all these other people your neighbors your mother-in-law your husband your wife your boss your co-workers let's banish all of them all are gone whole society is gone just you on the Island of Australia at least down is it so hello no if you're alone also you're miserable you need to understand this if you're alone and you're miserable you're obviously in bad company isn't it so this is what you need to do with yourself that if you sit here your experience of life is pleasant well you are obviously from what you said you have probably heard this in some format the pleasantness means just this body is healthy its pleasant it became very pleasant this called pleasure mind is pleasant very pleasant joyful emotion is pleasant love very pleasant compassion your very life energy is a pleasant bliss very pleasant ecstasy these are all 100% your business isn't it hello keeping your body Pleasant thought Pleasant emotion Pleasant energies Pleasant is 100% your business keeping the surroundings Pleasant is a challenge because there are various kinds of people various kinds of forces this needs skill this needs opportunity these needs depends what times we exist in you know not always we can do the same things so creating pleasantness around us needs a certain amount of skill competence various things things have to fall together though otherwise it won't happen but pleasantness within you is entirely your business so if you are feeling very pleasant within you and somebody here is being unpleasant to you what is the problem right now they can cause pleasantness within you that's the problem isn't it hello see if somebody can decide whether you can be happy or unhappy this means this is the worst form of slavery isn't it so hello somebody can decide what happens within you what kind of life is this what happens within you must be entirely yours what happens around you is never entirely yours isn't it even if you just two people in the family does it happen hundred percent your way why are you nodding like this would is you not married that even if there are two people it doesn't happen your way isn't it little bit your way a little bit somebody else's way a little bit this way I'm glad it doesn't happen all your way because it will everything happened your way where do I go yeah a little bit your way a little bit my way a little bit his way a little bit somebody's way this is the nature of the world world should not happen 100% your way but this one life must happen your way isn't it hello so this has not been done now for you to be happy you want to fix the whole world no no I am Telling You both your joy and misery comes from within you isn't it hello so if you are miserable who should be fixed I'm asking no my mother-in-law if we fix her also something else will come somebody else will come don't think there's only one mother-in-law in the world they're all other place they're all over the place in so many people will take on that position so if you fix this one person see we don't know what great things you will do or not we do not know whether you will score 380 runs in a test match or not okay we don't know we don't know whether you will run faster than mr. bolt or not we don't know whether you will climb Mount Everest or not we don't know whether you'll become richest man in the world or not whether you'll become the most beautiful woman and the planet or not we don't know those things but at least this much you deserve that your experience of life on this planet is pleasant this much you deserve this much must happen isn't it other things are subject to so many realities that's not always determined by us that many things have to fall into place next question we for our mother in law gets a bit of a bad run this is a there's if there's a species of fish in our water called the mother-in-law and apparently it even tastes bad where's their microphone no it's got himself guru my name is Asha I'm actually from Melbourne and I'm very very lucky to see you here and how to match yourself I'm a big fan of yours as well like many of us here thank you but guru my question is about boundlessness earlier today you mentioned that there is something within us that is seeking to to be to express the different ways and it comes as different forms every morning when I get up there are always two voices at least and while I know that I'm sorry one of the things that you said is ultimately you'll have to come to yoga because you've tried everything every morning when I get up I find that there's these two voices it says you have time and sometimes it says you don't have time you're married yes I understand what's the other voice [Laughter] so Sadhguru I think my question to you after after knowing you for a bit and also we were talking about life sort of continuing and death and so on and so forth the question I suppose is for how much time do we really have I mean of course why why does it why doesn't it why it's not they in my experience because every morning when I still get up and I get at what time I can I can get to yoga one day or the other and still be able to make it but the reality seems to me that you know there is not much time say first and foremost thing that you need to understand is you are an individual an individual means you're not further divisible this is it there's one unit in this body there's one person or two people hello don't look at your wife and say that it'll tell me it's okay one or two only one if you're feeling - this means you're either schizophrenic or you're possessed you need either a psychiatrist or an exorcist don't do that to yourself don't do this to voice business because initially it looks like good entertainment after some time if it takes on it's very painful mental illnesses are not fun everybody plays with it see when you get angry with somebody and what you want happened what do you tell your friend you know I got mad with him and he did what I wanted well you got mad temporarily and you came back suppose you couldn't come back it'll happen one day if you keep crossing the line too often because the line between sanity and insanity is very thin if you cross it one day if you're not able to come back see between health and help is it very thin the line any moment things can happen to us either from outside or inside something can happen similarly the line between sanity and insanity is very thin most people don't realize this how thin it is don't walk on that line keep away from that line stay on the sanity sign it's very important that you don't get mad temporarily at somebody because you crossed and if you can't come back what do you do then you gone isn't it so two voices are not good there's only one person here only one right only one inside this is an individual you cannot further divide this the moment you do add this you're asking for ill health of some kind don't do that now how much time do I have well one voice is saying you got time so eliminate the other one you don't have time so this is not about fun but I want you to understand this it's like this if you can I tell you a story okay because you think this is a serious question I want you to just understand this one thing why a whole lot of human beings have become a mess is they have taken themselves too seriously they don't understand before they came here countless number of people lived on this planet and no sign of them they're all topsoil now and this one also will be topsoil you just a small pop-up hello you just a small pop-up and you will pop out but you are taking yourself too seriously believe me if the whole solar system evaporates tomorrow morning it is not even mist in the universe that's how big it is and that's how small we are so don't take yourself too seriously yes this life is important for us why because every life is seeing how to find its full potential for that it's important not thinking something big of you is there in this world nothing like that see if there were dinosaurs in Australia they would treat you just like ants isn't it suppose you're walking on the street colony of ants are going you just step on it and go one guy is dead one guy is half dead one guy is cut into half you don't care because it just ends so if they were bigger animals than you they would treat you the same way they wouldn't even eat the whole of you they won't even treat you with any dignity they would just eat one part and throw the other part and go on like how you waste food they would also do it so much population now if they but die no sir comes he has a feast so do not take yourself so seriously this is the biggest problem that you have taken yourself too seriously you just a small pop up the important thing is just this it is the generosity of creation that it's given you an individual experience do not misunderstand that do not misunderstand this is to make you significant this is just to understand life is significant that's all you just a bubble you just a bubble it'll pop anytime well it may last hundred years 100 years is nothing in the world hello you may think hundred years I lived long and I did so many things nothing many idiots on this planet thought like you and me they thought they are very important to Alexander the Great's have come where are they so they were telling me about you know I was in Greece and they were saying Alexander went to India I said don't worry he came to India alright but an Indian must get all that to a female go on the Emperor [Applause] he died of malaria so do not underestimate a small mosquito it can kill you see we found something worse than a mother-in-law then happily know that there is a thing about why are we going against mother in law school sarana we need to move on between in-laws and outlaws outlaws are wanted [Applause] we need a mic somewhere I can point but see mother means how much attachment and emotion is there say mother-in-law means so much problem this we need to look at this why are we like this place may ask the question here my dear is right here I know the boundary when you say boundaries probably the memory is one of the biggest boundary and you mentioned Patanjali earlier potentially in a funny way he says under Buddha we share a sample maha Tsutaya as I think that as a part of a cheetah and again at the same time he says strata Vidya smoothie Samadhi Frank navigator a shop so he wants it for you to have the memory at the same time it is the boundary we have to come out of can you please explain oh you like the questioner it want to be a good answer the expectations clearly are let's do some fat on this one in the middle of Woolfolk see you are who you are only because of Mehmedi this conscious memory there is unconscious memory article written in article eight levels of memory there is genetic memory there is a evolutionary memory there is elemental memory atomic memory everything is built into muscle memory muscle memory that's what I said in not to kill it it is it is deaf your entire head to toe is just memory you don't remember consciously how your great-great-great grandfather or grandmother looked 10 generations ago but his or her nose is sitting on your face right now it's not forgotten for a moment hello it even remembers the skin tone how your forefathers were a million years ago still remembers everything isn't it so you struck cities like this because of memory your body is memory every cell in your body has more memory than your brains has the million times more actually so this what you call as me it's just memory if you lose your memory you don't know who you are isn't it and the only thing that most people are suffering is their memory see it's only the human beings who have such a vivid sense of conscious memory even a grasshopper has memory but conscious memory is very little in him but you have a vivid sense of conscious memory because of this life and life's experience is rich of course today all the memories on your phone but even those machines that we created of computers and phones and whatever is only to enhance our memory isn't it because we saw the value of memory so memory is the maker of who you are you are who you are only because of your memory there is no memory right now if your memory goes away you don't know who is your mother who is your father who is your husband who is your wife who's your children where you belong your nation your race religion nothing everything is in your memory isn't it so including your God and devil all in your memory yes or no if you lose memory you don't know anything some memories a tremendous possibility at the same time it is a boundary it's a certain knowledge that you've accumulated information that you've accumulated so in yoga we have a a very powerful tool this will be little hard for you to chew see your knowledge you are well educated let us say you studied all the libraries on the planet still your knowledge is a miniscule compared to this cosmos isn't it so if you identify with that miniscule of knowledge you will become a miniscule because what you identify with you become that in some way isn't it whatever you identify with strongly you become that if you identify with your miniscule knowledge you become a miniscule existence but our ignorance is boundless if you identify with your ignorance you will become boundless because there are no borders for your ignorance your knowledge has a boundary your ignorance has no boundary isn't it but it takes a certain amount of dispassion and involvement in the life that you are to come to this space where you identify with your ignorance if you identify with your ignorance your intelligence cannot sleep it will be always on see right now if I ask anyone of you to walk from here to there you will effortlessly walk because you can see suppose we turn off the lights and it's pitch dark now if I ask you to walk now you're super alert isn't it hello you're super alert mat was telling me when he is betting is like meditation because it's not a ball it's a missile it's on the television it's a ball on the pitch it's a missile somebody's trying to knock you know yes it's a hard ball it's coming anywhere between 125 to 150 60 km/h and it doesn't come straight it pitches and takes its own shape whichever way it wants or whichever way the other monster intents it's a hard game people are watching on the television and thinking cricket is some nice game it's a very hard game and it's a missile you just have a split-second if you're not super alert you're gone either you go to the pavilion or go to the hospital these days there is a helmet you don't go to the morgue one time they went to the morgue now they go to the hospital with a broken bone or something so this is the same the moment you and you do not know what's gonna happen right now you're super super alert isn't it hello it's pitch dark you don't know where your foot is going super alert or no this is what ignorant means this is the power or this is the intelligence of ignorance that if you identify with your ignorance your intelligence cannot sleep even if your body sleeps it cannot sleep it's always on but if you identify with your knowledge it sleeps because country knowledge is a kind of conclusion you have drawn once you draw a conclusion you will sleep sleep is is a shorter version of death isn't it in a way hello you are dead to the world well you come back tomorrow morning but at that point you don't exist the world doesn't exist when you're fast asleep so in a way you're dying how long you die in a day is up to you if you're dying eight hours a day means one third of your life you've been dead so if your intelligence becomes super Allah you will see one first thing that will happen to you is your sleep quota will come down dramatically because you become more and more conscious because you are identified with your ignorance if you understand I do not know if you really it sinks into you that I do not know now this is a tremendous possibility only if you see I do not know the longing to know the seeking to know and the possibility of knowing becomes a reality isn't it everything I do not know I just believe it doesn't matter who said it but I nearly said it anybody said it you don't know hello isn't it you don't know when you do not know if you really allow this to sink into you actually you do not know a damn thing about anything in this universe that's a fact isn't it for practical purposes we know but exist generally we don't know damn thing now you are naturally identified with you're in ignorance means naturally you're a seeker you can't help always your intelligence is probing everything that it sees because you know that you do not know but reading high school textbook if you think you know entire world then there is a problem a lot of people have gotten into the state in the name of science they did high school textbook and they think they're scientists this happened this happened in UK it's a social situation or why I've been shifted to Australia the scene and along y ou a social situation where a lot of people socialites were there but a scientist also was there he was not dressed like them Mississippi not much care to his outward appearance so they sat at the dinner table a very high fashion socialite lady sat next to him and may ask you would you he said I study signs oh I was done with that in my high school so a scientist understands he still studying science only others think he's a scientist he knows he is studying science because the more you explore the more you realize how ignorant you are it's not that more knowledgeable he will become more you realize how profound is your ignorance how boundless is your ignorance so this entire dimension of moving into an intelligence which is beyond memory the first and foremost step is this that you are not identified with what little you know you are identified with that which you do not know now your intelligence is on slowly it will become free from memory because memory means repetitiveness isn't it hello memory means repetitiveness the same things happening again and again if memory determines the nature of your experience which usually does for 90% or more of the people their memory decides the nature of their experience for this week say traditionally in India karma case you're sitting here stomach is full or empty whichever way nothing wrong nobody shooting bullets at you you're fine but you're little why you're showing your own fat am I getting it yeah maybe that's where I'm from so you're chewing your own memory and making yourself happy or unhappy whichever way both ways your karma karma means action action means the residual action which remains within you is memory memory is not just conscious it is at all levels this residual memory is right now deciding the trajectory of your life to become free from that he's a whole effort which in complicated language he said and you all liked it the important thing is you break free from this residual impact if you live out of your memory no new possibilities are there you'll do the same things in permutations and combinations but the same thing if something absolutely new has to happen to you you must be beyond your karmic memory everything that's stored in you your genetic memory your evolutionary memory you rose beyond that now you have a completely new vision of life this is something that is possible for every human being only thing is they've never paid attention to that just not paying attention to those aspects that's all otherwise it is not the exclusive right of any special specially made human beings it's equally possible I want you to understand this when it comes to external situations maybe all of you cannot take a cricket bat and do what Matt does maybe you cannot take a motorcycle and do what I do or maybe you can't run like somebody else or you can't do something else like someone else when it comes to external realities we are all differently capable isn't it hello the wrong word to use on you every one of us is differently capable when it comes to the outside world but when it comes to the inner dimensions all of us are equally capable it is just that most people have never paid attention they still believe that by fixing what's around them life will be fine but I want you to understand this much compared to how people lived in this world a few generations ago let's say a thousand years ago or even a hundred years ago today in terms of comfort and convenience are you not way we had nobody even dreamt these things were possible yes or no but still we are complaining so much arrangement so much arrangement so much arrangement that we are ripping the planet apart but still can you claim are you more joyful or more blissful than how people were 100 years ago can you you're more comfortable for sure you know conveniences that nobody knew [Music] what even royalty could not afford all of you are having most of your driving chariots with four hundred six hundred horses but life has not changed you must understand it doesn't matter how much Arrangements you make and also you must remember in the end there is no container service this is just for your information there is no container service because most homes have turned into warehouses just reminding where's our my craving mic on right here well I hope I don't sound silly asking this question how do you think positively in circumstances or you know external factors that are very negative if I term it like that I'll give you a specific no no don't don't I understand those situations element to my question I'm giving you a specific you know situation here for example you find out that your mother or a close relative have been diagnosed with a you know serious life-threatening disease how do you hope how do you think positive how do you stay stable then thank you I know when somebody dear to us their life is threatened or something comes to them injury accident disease well will cause distress to yourself but I want you to understand this see this is the nature of life this is what I've been trying to remind you from the beginning in this last whatever hour-and-a-half that we need to understand this is a fragile happening this life right now it's on the design of this life is such see inhalation exhalation inhalation exhalation next inhalation did not happen this is gone back to the pavilion you did nothing wrong you just stood there but back to the pavilion many times isn't it no way out short nothing simply it's just nicked by itself and went off so this is the case this is the nature of our existence it is just that when somebody's dear to us we get so emotionally wrapped by this this is simply because you have only one or two or three or four people who are dear to you I live a life where so many I don't know the number so many people are weary intimately very profoundly involved with me on a daily basis so in my life how many people that are dear to me I have buried don't ask me it's happening all the time alright so right now the reason why you go through life the way you go through life is because your involvement is very selective very discriminatory only this one person you will involve because I identify her as my mother only that person because I identify him as my brother but if your new larger involvement with life you would understand almost every day you lose somebody who's very dear to you yes this is the case with me does it mean to say you have no emotion does it mean to say there is no sense of loss now all this is there all of it is there it is just that if you are in terms with the realities of your existence you live one way this is what I was trying to tell you in the beginning itself you think your psychological world is bigger than the exists tential creation what this means is your creation has become more significant than the creator is creation once this happens inevitably you will suffer if somebody is in around us what do we do we do our best to turn them around if it's possible if you cannot turn them around you let them go gracefully this is all you can do whether you cry laugh turn you turn yourself on your you know upside down do whatever the hell you want this is all that will happen isn't it so the question is just this whatever comes our way in our life life will come birth will come death will come disease will come defeat will come victory will come all kinds of things will come if you are living an active life will you handle it gracefully or will you make a mess out of it that's all the choice you have isn't it do you have any other choice I'm asking you whatever life throws at you is not your choice what do you make out of it is 100% your choice isn't it this choice you must exercise this choice you must exercise what life throws at you is not your choice who knows what kind of ball is the next ball you don't know what life throws at you is not your choice what you make out of it is your choice this is the power of being human that you can make what you want out of it if I am saying I know this is very hurtful what I am saying but you must decide whether you want solace or you want a solution to your life I am NOT somebody who'll separately words and give solace I do that only to children with children if they say something ok we'll have them all them do this well if somebody is in grief even if they're adults because when they're in grief they become like children so we treat them like children but you must decide in your life whether you want solace or solution to your life if you want solution there is one way to approach if you just want solace we can give pretty words but what will they do with all the pretty words I will die you will die isn't it solution is just this we come to terms this is why I am saying from being a physiological and psychological drama you have to become a phenomena of life that's what you really are what is the most important thing in your life right now that you're alive right now isn't it so hello is it the most important thing life is the most important thing not what you wear not what you popped outside not the home that you're living in not anything else and not your thought and emotion what is most important is the life that you are but how much attention has gone into that dimension of life if your attention was for that you would see your end your involvement with life would be indiscriminate once your involvement is indiscriminate you will learn to handle everything gracefully right now when you're in distress when somebody dear to is ill this sounds cruel I know that but I'm still taking the risk of saying you this saying this to you because I want you to ponder upon this because this is all the choice we have we don't have a choice to decide what life throws at us we have a choice to decide what we make out of it [Applause] isn't it I think we've got time for another question the most console guru actually I've asked to be over there for few second there's a thing I want but that I just wants to be over there for a few seconds oh no no you can ask the question from there can I be over there of you second well then why did you take the microphone microphone is to speak long distance say you don't go next to somebody and take phone and talk to each other it's somebody who has a question just lady I said guru welcome to Australia and I have a question sometimes we get in a situation when we're surrounded by people who is have a very high expectation to in terms of us and when we cannot fulfill the expectation you start feel a very terrible feeling of guilt and it's okay when it's your mother-in-law you can kind of sometimes it's your parents for example I have no problem I have nothing against her I just joke yeah [Laughter] and that sometimes it's the people who's very close to like your parents and you cannot really fulfill the expectation because you would like to do in your life what you want to do and obviously it's not what they want and how to cope with that feeling of guilt and also what do you think what kind of relationship should be between the parents and the children thank you [Applause] that reminds me of something so you one thing is it's not just between parents and children just about every relationship everywhere people have all kinds of weird expectations it's like this a lady went to the butcher shop and all this chicken which were hanging upside down dressed chicken poor chicken feathers are their dress you rip it off and say they're dressed so she went to this chicken and lifted one leg smelled wrinkled her nose lifted a wing wrinkled her nose like this she was going from chicken - chicken it was having an effect on the rest of the customers so the butcher soit's having an effect so he went and tapped on her shoulder she turned around so he asked ma'am can you pass a test like that a whole lot of people are always busy putting everybody to test that they themselves cannot pass especially parents their parents think all the things that they could not do they must achieve through their children so they should have bred racehorses I want you to understand this children are not your property it's it's a privilege another life came through her you will change alright do your best to nourish it what it becomes is not your business your business is to support it create a wonderful atmosphere around it create an ambience where it grows well I am using the word it consciously like a tree like a plant you just create the nourishment that it needs it grows well is it going to bear apples pears mangoes or just flowers or just nothing we don't know only thing is your wish is they must grow to their full potential they are not an extension of your ambitions they are not and then it not be so this is because people think they own their children no they are not your property I think these days they're telling you older generation hesitates you to say this this generation by the time they're 10 they're telling you you got no business to tell me what to do so does it mean to say you don't say anything to them no it's your business to see because if you don't guide them somebody else will on the street or somebody will do it long distance on the Internet all kinds of creatures are out there all right so yes to protect them to nourish them to allow them to explore their possibilities it is your business to do that as a parent but parents concern maybe what will happen what will happen what will happen I my dear father he's 95 he's a physician in his mind that generation of Indians will understand that unless you become a physician you're no good so I was no good but that was good for me because when you're no good nobody pays enough attention that's all I wanted that they leave me alone so I'm just saying you know he's always worrying what will happen to this boy his concern is this this boy has no fear in his heart what will happen so one day when I was 11 years of age he said this you know I came home with a 12-foot Cobra he was my friend and he said this boy has no fear in his heart what will happen then I asked him when did fear become a worse show when did this happen he said see I told you he has no fear in his heart I said that's fine but when did fear become a virtue why is it like this why fear anger all these things have become virtues is it tell me when you go through fear is it fantastic hello is one of the most terrible emotions you can go through why are we thinking that we should be fearful of our future not only of your future of anything that you do and your even God fearing all right fearful about everything what is the point there is no such thing there is no such thing that this generation should be an extension of the previous generation this generation should do something that previous generation could not imagine that is when there is a purpose to this generation isn't it otherwise what's the point if you're going to do the same things well if you want to do something that you really want to do if you think you're going to do it with everybody's approval I'm sorry life doesn't happen that way it is just that whatever the hell you want to do just do it well once there is success your parents and your uncles and your arms everybody says wonderful all right they want success they're only afraid they have every right to be concerned about you they have every right because they brought you are they concerned whether you will do well or not they have every right to be concerned but that concern should not become control what event physician experienced a period has had the most profound impact on your life you asking Matt right oh this has been spoken of many many many times isn't it experience influenced said this is the only thing I did with my life I was in the United States and this lady comes up to me and says I was doing I've been doing yoga for over 35 years nothing happened to me you just went and sat on the truck they all this happened to you where is the damn rock [Laughter] and now the rock is becoming famous like you know forgot Amida Buddha the Bodhi tree became more famous in the Buddha I must tell you this experience I was in combat or many years ago about almost 25 30 years ago and I go to somebody's house for lunch and this lady says Sadhguru I have a Bodhi tree in my backyard I sit and meditate under that can you come and bless my tree I say please water the tree I will bless you she said no no no you must come and bless that see I thought let me go into the backyard I am always an outdoor man so I walked out then I looked around I did not see any Bodhi tree there were three coconut trees but I did not see any Bodhi tree then I asked her where is the Bodhi tree then she takes me to one place there there is one stick which is about six seven feet tall with about five leaves under that she's put one stone plate and on which she sits and meditates under the Bodhi tree I looked at this Bodhi tree and said see this Bodhi tree does not have much possibility if you at least sit under the coconut tree something would happen [Applause] under coconut tree things happen because when you're in this state what you need is a knock on your head so what is the most significant influence this is all I did in my life from early childhood I did not allow either family my genetics my social situations the religious situation around me political situations around me whatever around me I did not allow myself to be influenced by any of those things this is why I keep repeating I am an uneducated guru because I have refused to be educated to remain uneducated is not easy yes sir because from the moment you born everybody wants to teach you something that's not worked in their life it's a compulsive need in adults the moment they see you know like I was when my mind when my daughter was three and a half months old I would drive alone with her all across India Wow my one hand on her my right leg heavy this is the time when I'm building Asia foundation I'm driving across the country every day I'm with a new family then I noticed everybody is desperate to teach something to her I said please nobody teaches her anything no ABC no one two three no mary had a little lamb i don't want any of these things then people said Sadhguru you are not letting anybody teach anything what will happen to this girl this girl won't know even how to count her fingers I said I don't care if she cannot count her fingers as long as she knows how to use her fingers what do I care she thinks this is a million what is my problem as long as she knows how to use her fingers so and I don't care whether mary had a lamb but not so I said nobody teach her anything because nobody is teaching or anything see it is by constantly looking down on the child you know what is there is you know what is that the child feels smaller and smaller and smaller because nobody spoke to her in those terms she thought everybody is her friends she is two and a half three years she thinks all the adults are our friends he talks to them like they're our friends by the time she's 18 months she's fluent he's speaking three languages very fluently because nobody is teaching her anything at she's all years listening to everything around her well I wouldn't have sent her to school but you know my schedules and my travels didn't allow that so I sent her to a school where there's least amount of schooling one day she came back from school she was around 13 years of age and she was living upset about what happened in the school then she comes and tells me you're teaching everybody so many things you're not teaching me anything I said see I'm not known to
