Sadhguru's Best Speech Ever!👌- Setting an ambience for your growth

are there any other countries with a rich history written like india about the past those countries which had a long and rich history those cultures whether you take the norse or the egyptian mesopotamian the incars the minds most of these cultures have gotten grounded they are not living cultures anymore they are only archival cultures so if you look at it in that context the only ancient culture which is still a living culture is india alone so it's very important that we preserve this otherwise we will also become our kabul all the other great cultures are today only there in the archive or they live only in the museum they are not living cultures anymore this is the only one we must preserve preserve the multi-dimensional nature of this culture it's very very important i happen to be in a peace conference this peace conference all kinds of people top spiritual leaders very heavily people who are bent with awards people nobody gets an award just like that that's very rare all of this lobby for awards very rarely some extraordinary talent gets award simply like that somebody calls him and gives him an award that is just a few people rest of them lobby for it and every year they will get an award award award and they're heavy with awards all those medals difficult to carry so i'm saying an assembly of hugely respected people in the country and in the world an assembly of people like that and we're talking about world peace this is conducted in an ashrae where the leader of that ashram is over 90 92 years of age at that time and it was his dream to conduct a world peace summit so when they came and told me he's 92 and it's been his dream and this is the event happening you must come i went at one time i believed these peace conferences would do something and i went to many no more i'm not going to any of the peace conferences i'm going to all economic conferences because i see they could do something [Music] he had his disciples and devotees they said for his next birthday we will give world peace as gift [Music] all right in the next one here they're going to offer a peaceful world to him as a gift i appreciate their emotion as devotees as disciples they feel they want to give it i appreciate that emotion i'm not against that but i don't appreciate their simples you know simple term way of approaching this but i didn't say anything devotees say something like it's okay a devotee is allowed a margin because he's not talking about the world he's talking about himself how he feels it's okay he feels that way lovers and devotees must be allowed a certain amount of margin isn't it so otherwise there will be no love or no devotion so i'm willing to allow all the margin that you want but when responsible people who are supposed to be working for that they stand up and say ridiculous things then it becomes difficult so people stand up and say these are i don't want to name them these are huge with millions and millions of people behind them okay so the simple logic is just this there is no world peace because we are all worshipping different gods if all of us worship one god the world will become peaceful all of them talking in this i i'm just thinking am i missing something you know am i really missing something in any situation if i step into if something is wrong first thing i do is have i lost it you know am i making something wrong first i clear this and once i have cleared this there's no stopping me [Music] so then my turn to speak came and i said forget about one god people who are born to the same parents within the family more battles are going on than india and pakistan india pakistan we have fought only three battles in 64 years it's a phenomenal record record of amity and peace i'm saying only three battles in 64 years in 64 years between brothers and sisters and husbands and wives how many battles happen in 64 years of life they don't shoot of course but uglier things happen than shooting no so just because they're born to the same parents is there going to be peace just because all of you worship same god is there going to be peace people will find some other reason to fight and people who are professing one god they're the people who are fighting like hell i said the idea of having a million gods is we have 33 million gods and goddesses in this country and that happened when our population was 33 million after that because people from outside came and started making fun of all your gods oh you were shipping cows you're worshiping trees you're worshiping snakes you don't know what you're doing and here there was nobody to tell them why it is so people got little embarrassed about it and stopped creating gods see i created two have you created any [Music] if every one of you had your own god at least you couldn't fight for him if 100 people gather behind one god then they are fighting force if each individual this is the culture here you are supposed to have a easter devata a god of your choice if you don't like any of the existing forms you can create one this will definitely ensure that you're peaceful because you've got your god he's got his god what are you going to fight with if this party belongs to one god this party belongs to one one god how long will you avoid fighting one day they will fight isn't it you can keep them away you can manage them you can polish them someday it will burst out you can't help it either you must be a fake if you don't fight you're a fake you believe this is god and if they're saying that is god how to keep quiet you are just a fake if you believe this is the only god and those people are saying no that is also god should you teach them a lesson or not if you don't teach them a lesson you are a fake if you teach them a lesson there will be a war yes or no now you can create your own god what is the problem you like the book that you're reading have you seen mahabharat you're going to an examination you keep the pen and today he is your god you want to sing a song you better worship your microphone the reason that we need to preserve this culture it is one of the most valuable things on the planet right now because this is the only culture which is not god-oriented this is the only culture which is liberation oriented anything that came from this land is not god-oriented not heaven-oriented it is towards your mukti liberation is the highest goal god is not the highest goal god is just a stepping stone if you want you can step on him if you can skip you can skip him and go it's up to you have you ever made accordingly you do it if you're capable of skipping and reaching your liberation do it if you want to do a hop skip you are a that kind of athlete a long jumper or a what's that decathlon [Music] so you can jump over and get there fine if you cannot you want to go step by step you climb and we can create any kind of god you need when you are a little child we can create a god that you need as a child when you make an adolescent we can create another god you become middle-aged we have another god for old days we have another god for every emotion that you have every thought that you have we have a god or a goddess for you if you want to make use of this phenomenal array of gods and goddesses is it all made up it's not just made up we know the technology of god making it will function as divinity in your life it is not just belief system it is not belief system it will function as living divinity in your life because here we are not looking at worshiping god we are always looking at how to become one this culture is not about looking up to god this culture is seeing how you want to become and live as a divinity people raise to a level where they are referred to as bhagwan that is the idea not always looking up to bhagwan you look up because you want to go up you want to raise this piece of life to that dimension of existence where there is no distinction between who you are and what you refer to as divinity [Music] so the very nature of the culture is a scientific process unfortunately we have not taken care of this science for the last 600 700 years properly it has become it is not time relevant the way it is expressed the science is still time time relevant but the expression is not time relevant because there has been a gap of a few generations they did not if it was every generation if it was being transmitted life it would have been time relevant but because of oppression because of conquerors who came in and it went underground a lot of things which went underground never came up many many people who went underground never came out again they got buried right there the reason why you see so much of a certain form of yogic practice in the name of tibetan buddhism today is because when invasions happened the invasions the invaders mainly took the planes the first thing that they did was burn the spiritual places so they all went into the mountains when they found the mountains too harsh for them to live they crossed over and settled on the plateau which you call as tibet today you just look at tibetan buddhism where is buddha in it you have to search for buddha you will find all kinds of gods and goddesses with mispronounced names which are from here full of ritual which came from this land full of practices which came from this land because this was established by people who left the plains and went into the mountains just to avoid the conquerors scorching them out so it is very very very significant that we preserve this as a live thing when i say preserve it need not be protected it needs to be lived if you protect it it will become archival you have to live it that's what we are trying to display to you in the form of decor in the form of food in the way we do things here we are trying to make the science of living as spiritual beings spirituality is not a teaching it's the way you exist for you to exist that way you need to create the necessary ambience simple thing i've been telling people right now thousands of meditators have taken it up in tamilnadu i want all of you to take this out when you pick up the phone what do you say hello if you're speaking in english language you say hello if you're speaking in some other language why don't you say namaste namaskaram something what's your problem because when you say namaskar it's a very profound statement hello doesn't have that but you say it because somebody has taught you i mean we brought this see till the english got established they came in almost 300 years ago but they got established only in the last 150 leaving the 65 years 150 years before independence about hundred years ago when were your holidays in a month do you know in this country the holidays were always three days one day before powder me one day after powder me and powder me days several three days ekadashi days these were the holidays because it was spiritually relevant for us to do sadhana on those days now what are you doing on a sunday you don't know what the hell to do on a sunday so you're watching the television and eating potato chips throughout the day i'm saying the whole culture was designed to assist your spiritual southern but we don't have the courage to go back to that in the world outside at least in your homes you do that at least in your homes you do that if you're running a business you can do it every every employee yourself of yours will be very happy that they have a holiday when others don't have it yes and instead of getting four days in a month they get three days in a stretch on the power number day they will be happy i'm telling you if it's your own little business you can do it isn't it yes or no if you have business which has to sync with the outside world every day this transaction you can't do it but in your home you can do it isn't it to whatever extent you can at least you can say namaste to people you know what this means if you go into the temple this is what you do if god appears in front of you live what will you do this is what you will do if this man or woman comes in front of you what do you do this is what you will do if you see a beautiful mountain what do you do this is what you do if you see a tree what do you do this is what you do if you see a cow what do you do this is what you do not just that even if you see inanimate objects this is what you do if shiva appears also this is what we do if a laborer here whose name may be shiva or whatever else to him also this is what we do if a very knowledgeable person comes this is what we do if a idiot comes this is what we do what this means is it doesn't matter who he is it doesn't matter what it is whether you're a man woman or a rock it doesn't matter to me as far as i'm concerned every moment of my life i want to recognize that in every piece of creation the hand of creator is active to that hand i bow down bow down bow down now you are setting up an ambiance for your revolution you are setting up an ambiance for your revolution without the necessary ambience you sit down in the morning and shake like this you will not move very quickly it will take a long time you need to set up the ambience even if i if you if i give you a super seed which can produce a tremendous kind of crop for you if you keep it on the rock it's not going to grow isn't it you have to prepare the soil the necessary ambiance for growth has to be there otherwise it's not going to happen so creating that necessary ambience for spiritual growth of a human being is what you see as culture here it is distorted in many ways but still the fundamental thread is not gone if you lose the thread there will be nothing of worth in this country there will be nothing of worth in this country if you lose that one spiritual threat because that is the greatest thing we can offer to the world the other parts of the world have done other kinds of achievements in physical sciences in technology they've reached to many places this can be the greatest fabulous exchange of people and knowledge base we have the knowledge of the internal they have done well with the external isn't this the perfect formula for everybody to live well in the world isn't it a perfect formula the two sets of people have two different dimensions of knowledge if both of us see that we have need for each other isn't this a perfect situation to live well but people may choose to fight instead of living well that is because if we do not create the necessary ambience for spiritual growth in the world you teach as many damn practices as you want you build as many damn temples as you want people will not go very far you have to create ambience of life where every moment there is a reminder there is a reminder there is a reminder you must do this in the mega classes we just try to bring it now to the people you must do this now you've been in mahabharata you understand i believe you understand the significance of grace or being in grace it makes all the difference if you want to be the necessary if you want to have the necessary receptivity for grace one simple thing that you do is when you get up in the morning the first thing that you do is you do what krishna did it worked for him what did he do said guru nobody you know in my house you know they're like especially if your house is full of idiots it's all the more reason that you smile that if your house is full of problems at least you be a solution isn't it yes or no if your house is full of problematic people isn't it very important that you function as a solution no you also want to be a bigger problem so it's okay i'm not saying smile at somebody smile at the ceiling at least it didn't fall on you in the night don't think it's a joke it can fall on you small changes in the way the earth functions the house that is protecting you could become your grave isn't it happening to thousands of people somewhere else isn't it happening the very house that you live in can turn into your grave if mother earth just does she's going carefully if she just does a little twist your house will become your grave yes or no so tomorrow morning your house is still a home isn't it enough occasion to smile at least if not jump up and dance isn't it enough occasion at least to smile let me see son smile and suppose there is somebody around you [Music] nobody around you no problem absolutely no problem if somebody around you there's something to manage nobody around you nothing to manage the liberty of it the freedom of it nothing to manage wake up in the morning nobody is there to think you've gone crazy i'm saying set the ambiance for your growth if you do not set the ambience of joy and reverence within you reverence does not mean towards something towards somebody it's a way to be it's a certain way to be reverence means you're in a receptive mode because you understand life happens best with grace you are constantly in a receptive mode you don't want to give somebody a piece of your mind you want to take in the intelligence of creation into you you're planning many times today i'm going to give him a piece of my mind don't give the peace of your mind if you keep giving away what will you be left with you'll be left with nothing 18 february 2012 10 o'clock for the first time it's happening 84th yoga wow we are the first people to witness it [Music] something wrong with 11 o'clock so why don't we do it at 11 o'clock too do this i'm telling you every hour every moment you should do it but to start with at least every hour in your waking moments you're still living from nine o'clock to ten o'clock do you know how many people thousands died in this world you and me are still living isn't it fabulous and the most amazing thing is human beings exist here as if they're going to live forever now between 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock many more thousands of people are going to die if we are still living till 11 wow isn't it fantastic please appreciate this that is this culture this culture constantly creating an ambiance for your growth this is not a belief system we don't have a god we can make whatever kind of god we want we have understood the technology of god making we not only just create a form and believe in it we energize it we are not looking up we are looking inward this culture has to spread across the world otherwise the modern technology which has made a man into your superman is going to destroy the world if idiots become super they become super idiots you must understand this if arrogant people become super they become super arrogant if hateful become people become super they become super hateful isn't it the modern technology is empowering people indiscriminately it is time it is time we have moved into the right yoga we are into the right yoga right now that this is an ascending time for human consciousness but oh human consciousness is going to go up nothing goes up or down unless you work for it if you're willing to work for the world's consciousness to go up there are many things i can give you i have lots of employment only thing is i don't pay you that's all i have a lot of positions awakened anybody wants to take you want to be the ceo of spreading consciousness in the world i'll make you that only thing is i'll see that you're fed i see that you're treated well wherever you go i see that you're welcome and embraced by people but we don't put you through the indignity of standing in front of me to collect money i don't want you to put you to shame that you're such a beggar you did what you care for just for the sake of money that does not mean you will not eat well that does not mean you will not live well you will in the embrace and love of millions of people it's better to live that way than live on the security of every 30 days you get a packet or at least be focused on one person's consciousness rising if you can't take the world if you can't even take the segment of the world at least take up yourself that much you owe to yourself isn't it you should not deny yourself that so these eight days has essentially been an exploration to make you see the significance of grace in one's life if grace is not available to you or you are not available to grace it does not matter how much money you have how much wealth you have whatever nonsense you have you will not live a beautiful life this is not my curse i will never curse you and i have taken away the power to curse from you but this is the way life works this is the dharma this is the law of life if you go by it life will be a beautiful flowering if you don't go by it you will unnecessarily struggle with forces which are way beyond because they are the forces of creation you cannot fight them you can only write them it's like surfing you ride the way if you try to fight it it'll smother you this is simple sense this is not some kind of philosophy this is simple sense if you want to go on the ocean you ride the wave you don't fight the wave and what we are talking about is not an ocean we are talking about creation we are talking about cosmos we are talking about cosmic forces where an ocean is like a drop of water an ocean is just a drop of water in the cosmic space in this you learn to ride the wave dharma is just that how to ride the wave how not to be smothered by the wave
