foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign in this back part is it possible to sit in such a way you're you're not touching anybody else some of you can hang from the ceiling possible business oh okay [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] everything [Music] [Music] to come [Music] foreign [Music] usually [Music] Mama Jesus me me [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] I know [Music] somewhere but in China [Music] [Music] [Music] so thee Edition foreign call you know well this is about the time 40 years ago it's 40 years [Applause] within the first uh three to four weeks I kind of realized that whatever I have to do it was clear to me and it was very clear the Mandate was only till I was 42 years of age and then I leave that was at the age of 25. so I thought it's okay 17 years of slog is all right but here I am 40 years [Applause] so to do whatever we've been doing most of it that I do is not what you see in the videos are most of that I do is not something that's anywhere reported for making those things happen many incredible people have been around me giving their lives [Applause] not just their time and resources and stuff literally willing to give their lives but when these things were happening there are many people who are just willing to go with it so the sheer intensity of life where the border between the border between what is being alive and what is being dead is obliterated people have lived like that around me where being embodied or disembodied made no difference because they were anywhere on fire so much on fire even being alive and breathing and being cremated wouldn't make a difference so much on fire well it's incredible but not easy fantastic but not fun I hope you understand the difference because everywhere people keep saying I want to have fun I want to have fun so I see you're still children hello little children want to have fun if you're grown up you want your life to be fantastic fun anybody can have you can light a firecracker and run around or you can eat or drink or laugh with your friends and have fun nothing wrong nothing wrong with anything with life it's just that it's bloody brief if you don't light it up it's gone either it got lit up and left or it anywhere left this all the choice if there was a choice if I don't like up I can perpetuate I wouldn't argue with you but whether you light up or you're a dud anywhere you're going hello today that that sannyasi from the manikarnik uh ashram which is there he's inviting me I said what are you booking me up for tonight say no no but you must come that's okay but is this my day I don't think so laughs [Applause] so uh whether you don't light up or you just light up on one side and little beer you know you know those glow worms fireflies only their asses glowing you can be like that just one end is glowing or you can light up on all sides whichever way in terms of time and mortality anywhere you're going lit unlit just athlete now I'm in Gaslight changing for the for the camera because the future Generations may want to edit athletes and make it gaslit Gaslight Gaslight Gaslight [Applause] but whether you light up you don't light up anyways going away so it's not really a choice but people think it's a choice the tragedy of life is in that that people think it's a choice but tell me is there really a choice is there a choice there's no choice but everybody thinks there is a choice because they have this thought process are a psychological framework which tells them to not live is safe of course it is but you live you don't live you die anyway hello anywhere you die well along the way outside situations May grab you something will happen outside situations May grab you and Maul you sometimes you may be a little digested by the world yes I can see that you know I'm sure if I had seen you when you were six seven years of age it was like now slightly digestive it's okay I understand there are acids and alkalines in the world which can digest you hello people around you who would eat your partially hello there are I Am Not Innocent of that I know it's death but for most people their faces and body has become like this not because of somebody else it's their own doing their own asset eating them up all the time so being in Kashi what it means is you know what the word Kashi means all of you hello no Kashi means a tower of light a tower of Steel would be good you could climb on it a tower of Steel would be good you could turn it into a tourist attraction I was just you know I was just talking to the tourism ministers from across the country all the 28 States they had assembled recently in one place I was in a conference with them and uh before that I was just looking up okay what are the big tourist attractions in the world would you believe this that the highest number of tourists on the planet go to Eiffel Tower Tower of Steel and every time I have looked at it I thought this is a engineering monstrosity you could build that with half the steel but somebody built it that way it's like the Studebaker you know what's turbaker you know the course hello you're not seeing a Studebaker studebek you have it in Belarus you don't have in Hyderabad people must know they're still using it for their weddings they cut off the tops of course but uh it has wings and everything you could have made it into your battleship there is enough metal to make a ship out of it but they made a car out of it you don't call that engineering you don't call the technology okay because anybody can build that the whole thing about engineering is with minimum you did the maximum then it's engineering hello so I feel Tower draws the highest number of people on the planet as a single tourist entity I thought oh not even Mount Everest Eiffel Tower this is incredible this shows where people are all right I I think they're going to Eiffel Tower in the morning and waiting for the evening because something else is drawing them so uh uh maybe it's a misrepresentation of stats but the statistics say Eiffel Tower draws the highest number of people on the planet Korea when I saw that I thought we should change it and now we are here in Kashi a tower of light should draw more people in a tower of Steel foreign because towers are built various kinds of towers always Kings and you know when they conquer a land or when they commemorate their glorious rain usually glorious rain for them is always a horrendous life for the rest normally anywhere in the world I'm not trying to comment about any one country anywhere in the world whenever a king or an emperor says he had a glorious Reign it means a horrendous life for the rest of the people I shouldn't comment about this so uh this is because we have been taught to celebrate and appreciate dominance something that stands up like this this is our idea of strength if you don't change this there is no such thing as spiritual process for you if you always understand this is strength then you will not know what it is because you are not using the physical as a platform to stand upon you're carrying it on your head you will never know anything very very important we understand strength and power in a completely different way I want to ask you see yeah when somebody drops a bomb whether it is packed in my body or it drops from the sky when we drop a bomb we want maximum damage hello because we spend money on it please understand the economics of it when we drop a bomb we want maximum number of damages to happen especially damage means generally human beings this Hall looks like a very prime location foreign so this is one kind of power boom and right now or if all of you breathing I'm checking I'm just checking because they are inviting to money karnika you're breathing all of you so this air you can't see it you can't feel it but you're breathing this is another kind of power it's powering our lives right now is it powering our lives or not it's powering our life right now which do you think is more powerful powerful the error the bomb oh that's Improvement because always it's been understood this is power so in this context there are many aspects we are just coming close to navaratri you know what's navratri those of you are not from Indian background please do you know what's navratri Indians navratri means nine days and nights dedicated to the divine feminine so what is it Day After Tomorrow is it 26th starting on 26th nine days and nights different forms of the divine feminine dedicated to that still among various cultures almost every culture on the planet at one time had divine feminine as their orientation of worship and looking up to but the only culture which is left on the planet which still looks up to divine feminine is here in India nowhere else Bharat is the only place hey what's happening woman whoa [Applause] you must understand that you may be thinking you're doing well because you're wearing high heels and lipstick and walking around but I want you to understand an extermination of the feminine is happening across the world true extermination not the female the feminine when the feminine is obliterated the female will suffer without knowing what she's suffering yes it is like women will become like ghosts without the spirit of being feminine unfortunately we're driving the world in that direction so navratri is very very important to bring that back everywhere in the world not necessarily in the same form it is a very culturally Rich celebrations and things which is very you know indianesque that's a different matter but every culture needs to create that in their own way as it's suitable for them because the masculine the masculinization of the world like colonization masculinization is also kind of colonization where a woman feels ashamed of being feminine she wants to be a man that's happening women are showing their muscles I am not saying they shouldn't have muscles that is not their strength hello hello that is not your strength that is not the quality you need muscles you can grow some muscles that's fine so why am I talking about Devi in the board of Shiva because he is a half man half woman the ideal man one half of him is woman another half of him he is man immediately Western scholarship who is androgynous that's not we're talking about I'm saying it's important these two qualities which are two polarities of the physical world masculine and feminine you can call it whatever positive negative yin yang this that whatever essentially you're talking about the two polarities of physical nature if these two polarities when we say polarities or poles they must stick to their positions hello suppose North floor North Pole wants to go on a vacation to South Pole disaster on the planet isn't it and it's happening North Pole is melting where will it go it will go to the equator and then go to South Pole one day this is a disaster unfolding because poles or polarities means they must hold their position only if they hold their position there is a balance this goes for the planet this goes for human beings this four goes for every creature this goes for the whole Cosmos that physical world is created with a little tension between the two polarities without that there is no physicality physicality will die but uh we are going in many different ways that's okay but uh the important thing is to when we say Shiva we are talking about half man half woman this doesn't mean that he was belonging to a certain community it means that the only way life can be complete is by carrying the two polarities equally within oneself around oneself in every possible way only then there is life physical life is only possible between two polarities otherwise it's not really possible you can intellectually mentally you can make up many things but physically there has to be polarities otherwise there's no existence whether it's a planet or the cosmos or our lives whichever way we look at it otherwise we will be confused about everything in so many ways this happened can I because ladies are getting all boosted I thought I'll joke about them a little bit so uh this happened in New Zealand New Zealand anybody I I choose a far away place so that I could joke [Applause] [Laughter] there was a young lady who had blonde hair or anybody blonde blonde blonde no I'm not joking about the blondes I'm just she had blonde hair one day she decided that she will dye her hair jet black and she did just that and there she was driving on the countryside and then a shepherd was having his whole flock across the street or the road and she stopped and she looked at the all the Sheep you know when they all together you've seen that one when they're all together they're going and she looked at that and she was very fascinated and she called The Shepherd he came and he said see if I guess how many sheep you have in your flock can I have one he laughed and said by all means how can you guess she 1332 you guessed this it's a number I have Lala it doesn't matter you have to give me one can I choose you can choose so she went and picked up one and put it in the car then the shepherd said if I can guess what is the original color of your hair if I can guess what is the original color color of your hair can I have my dog back [Applause] you know I'm just trying to balance the polarities so bringing this balance within our system very important because without balance there is no clarity and you're like this there is no clarity when you're balanced there is clarity when there is Clarity when you see everything just the way it is life is a place whatever in terms of situations life can throw whatever it wants nobody can decide hello can you decide what life will throw to you it can throw anything it can throw a party for you it can throw a disaster at you it can throw you know most fantastic relationships it can throw divorce at you it can throw death at you it can throw disease at you hello it could throw anything at that but how you hit it depends on how balanced you are and how clearly you see it hello this is something most people generally they are not aware of not always but these days the sports this this what do you call this Sport Science is it what do you call that they're approaching every sport scientifically what is that sports science is it something huh something like that I think there's another term for that whatever it is so now they are looking at everything but most of the sport is determined by the how quickly you can see if I can see something a millisecond faster than you then I will be better at that sport than you are it's not just a skill it's not the practice it's not how much you know about the game you saw it a couple of milliseconds faster quicker earlier than somebody else it's a world of difference in most of the games you saw it a little later well it's gone by you so this is true with life also that how quickly you see it depends on how clearly you're seeing things we are not talking about just physical Vision in sport it's physical Vision but with life it's not just physical Vision seeing means you see situations a little ahead of somebody and suddenly everything is easy isn't it if you see it after it hits you then it's hard and most people see it only after it hits them most people don't even see it after it hits them they think something happened if it hits them they think God is angry with me people come and ask me this satguru continuously these things are happening in my life sadhguru you think God is angry with me I thought generally he's happy with idiots because you know I don't want to go there we are always busy giving reasons and explanations for everything rather than understanding the more clearly we see life the better we live better or a wonderful or a beautiful life means what better life means people think you got a lottery and you found the man who just listens to you better life he must listen to you must do exactly what you want oh my life is so wonderful we have everything that we want people talk about this and my husband is so loving and nice and sweet he doesn't even forget my birth today this is the idea of a Wonderful Life the moment you make this your wonderful life you will not even light the basic views of your life you will go unlit because comfort physical psychological emotional Comfort if you think that is the wonderful life you won't light up because now you think lighting up means fire ooh who wants to catch fire but if you don't catch fire you don't light up if you don't light up you don't see do you see fire and light are very connected hello the reason why you can see during the days something up there that you call a sun is burning hello burning seriously burning isn't it if it doesn't burn suppose it was comfortable because there are stories in India about how Sun and Moon got married and they lived well Ever After in case such a thing happens if a human romance gets extended that far and sun and moon got married and both of them went to bed end of it isn't it so uh I want you to carefully Define your life at this stage in your life for whatever reason you got trapped with me at this stage in your life you must redefine what is a Wonderful Life I will not do that for you that would be very cruel please do it [Laughter] because you will go home and tell your husband and wife and children and parents and they will all come after me murderous because a life that is lit and burning bright It's a Wonderful Life For Me but if you're burning that hot and that Lit you can see through everything around you if you see through everybody around you you cannot be in many things that you are in right now hello certain sweet nothings are needed hello which don't mean a damn thing but it's sweet needed isn't it hello because still life is being dominated by Body thought emotion when your life is still being dominated by physicality psychological nature and the emotion or the juicy part of psychology then certain lies are needed otherwise how can you live come on tell me before be honest about it hello if everything is you can't live there isn't it you need little I'm not saying it's wrong it's just it's fine but it's limited how long do you do limited things in your life whether you want to do it till the moment you reach your deathbed or you want to do it till you're 30 or you want to do it till you're 40 or 50 or 60 or 160 is a choice that you should make it's not for me to tell you when but somewhere you should make a choice that well because right now body is strong we have to make up certain things because right now our thoughts are running away in a certain way we have to make up certain things because right now our emotions are made like this if somebody is not always to us we will feel lost hello see when you were a two-year-old child when you're beginning to understand language and feeling it if your mother told you this is it this is the untruth this is the truth come on come on that would be cruel hello don't worry I'll get you the moon tomorrow morning hello she had to say those things isn't it you think it's wrong no no she's just looking at the need of the child and Catering to that thing in India mothers will give one mouthful to the Moon one mouthful to the child [Applause] it is it is absolutely wonderful that a child believes that the Moon is eating with me and both of them eating and he's happy and he eats and when he's looking about the moon she'll keep on mixing more and more and more [Applause] so I'm not trying to obliterate all the simple beauty of life it's needed but how long do you want to be fed like this that you must decide depending on what is your lifespan okay Suppose there are some of you who have 10 000 years 100 000 years I don't know how old are you yeah yeah do say that because when you wear antique jewelry I am thinking you may be 360 years old probably at that way at that time it was in OG and you're still wearing the same thing and so how long do I do a certain thing in my life is your decision you must every one of you must because it's a limited amount of time whatever is your limit I don't know I know my limits very well foreign limit you have and when should you shift your definition of what is a Wonderful Life you can't be holding the same definition that you made up when you were 16 years of age hello hello because at 16 your intelligence was hijacked by your hormones and your suddenly everything was looking different you couldn't make out what is what hello yes or no see you are 10 11. you looked at everybody everybody looked the same suddenly you're 14 15. suddenly every bump on the body is looking like a cosmos by itself hello yes or no so how long do you take to come out of that and look at life the way it is how long and then after that part starts fading a little bit then other things in the world of you wanting to look bigger than somebody else richer than somebody else you want your car longer than somebody else you want your house bigger than somebody else when will you grow out of those things and look at life for what it is because whatever you gather including your body can only facilitate certain things socially in terms of survival it will never ever enhance your life life will not get any you know Enhanced Life will not get enhanced with any kind of accumulation your accumulations and the life process are two different things you can enhance your social status your thing on the whatever like uh I think that I I almost uttered a name so let me stop so uh who is the am I the richest man in the world am I the biggest man in the world are my muscles bigger than yours my house is bigger than yours my thing is bigger than yours this not whatever nonsense how long will these things matter to you when will you become absolutely life oriented not being something other than others this is an inflection point you must determine if you are not ready right now you must at least say maybe in the next two years I'll be there three years I'll be there or 130 years later I will be there whatever is your span I don't even want to decide your lifespan who knows who knows who knows what kind of a freak you are you may live more than a human being I will not even take a call on that but you must decide where is the inflection point for me from being lost in my physicality in my psychological structures in my emotions and my social stuff when will I really become life oriented this is something you must take a call when am I ready for that generally there is a there is a kind of a culture that you turn spiritual when you can't do anything else properly when you get so old when you can't stand up or sit down or walk straight then you you must become spiritual because the body is giving up well if you cannot even sit or stand properly that means you have become in many ways disabled all right tell me when you're disabled is it the best time to climb the peaks of your consciousness or when you're still enabled you should do it because even if you're willing what's around you may not cooperate because when you're disabled you may badly need something a walking stick or a helper or something something somebody needs to take care of you at that time where is see once body is giving you trouble it will become the sole focus of your life yes or no why being healthy is important is so that you can keep the body aside not to glorify the body but you can keep it aside not be bothered about it because it's well everything is working what is there to do about it if it's the moment it's ill your whole Focus will be about it I can do this to you right now suppose we just take a small pin and put it into you all right now we will talk about the glories of Shiva just a small pen hello these days they are used to taking a lot of needle stuff all right to the pandemic you've taken many folks so what is the big deal no life doesn't work like that one small pin everything will be right there isn't it yes or no you can't focus on anything else so the idea of health and well-being is if I sit here no sense of body that's the thing health and fitness is not about going on showing like this fitness and health means your body is not an issue you can throw it around no problem that's ideal it'll allow you to live it works as a platform otherwise it will become the main focus of your life so uh this happened a newly married man anybody no because when I say New Zealand somebody stood up so I thought there may be a newly married man newly married man one day came home a little early in the afternoon the young wife she came out in her sexiest possible nightie and she said tie me up do whatever you want he looked at her he immediately tied her up picked up his golf kit and went golfing [Applause] [Laughter] say anytime it will change you know the focus will shift yeah so before everybody around you shifts you better shift hello either we learn to celebrate something or to abuse something it's not needed the important thing is to look at everything for what it is what it can do what it cannot do some people are glorifying physicality some people are saying put it down and bury it somewhere well both have not worked both will turn ugly isn't it I'm getting a a lot of lack from a whole lot of people because yes yesterday or day before I tweeted you saw the tweet I said let not the you know this is about there is a woman was killed in Iran because she did not wear her head scarf properly that is little bit of her blonde or jet black hair was showing whichever one it was so they picked her up and I don't know they may be better beaten her to death she died and protests are going on everywhere all these Iranian women have been appealing to me satguru please say something say something I would have anyway said I was just thinking whether they will fight or it'll just blow over you never know so then I tweeted I said let not the religious and the lecturers decide how a woman should dress one set of people one set of people are seeing how every millimeter of our body should be covered another set of people are looking at how they can reduce their clothes to millimeters both are have this is all you know different interest groups different interest groups why can't women have enough sense to decide by themselves what is appropriate for them how they should dress hello [Applause] so uh no no before I say something uh which is too controversial you see it [Applause] see in the Hindu heaven women are dressed very sexy at least the artwork shows they are dressed really sexy but in some other Heavens they are dressed from head to toe so I am saying even out there it's only the man's mind which determines how you dressed [Applause] so this is why it is important to bring a balance between masculine and feminine not between male and female between masculine and feminine so that we understand these are just two parts of life which needs to function in a certain way without friction right now we are looking at male and female or masculine and feminine as as if they're two separate species and always they're at conflict we have to do conflict resolution we must do counseling why well it is naturally there is a certain level of attraction so people are coming together after that what is the mess after that the messes you have unrealistic expectations of the other all the time don't nod your headma from both sides I'm saying ah sadhguru understands my husband yes [Applause] Ram both ends from both ends people who claim they love each other are doing terrible things to each other all the time hello I'll take back all the time a whole lot of times not all the time it was all the time it would be over so this is happening because there is no clarity about what I am what the other person is what it is it is not only in male female relationship among human beings as individual people as communities as societies as Nations as race as religion or whatever nonsense in whichever way you have broken Humanity into a million different pieces nobody seems to have the necessary Clarity to see what is what is the other group or other person simply going on with our own stuff and this is not the question of see it's not about whether there is violence in the world yes it is it's a deep concern because our ability to cause violence has been so empowered multiplied manifold over so in that sense it's a concern or even if you were using a stick or a stone or a sword it's still a concern because it hurts somebody but more important than that is how much life is gone how much human potential and life potential is just wasted and squandered thinking about how I can do this or that to somebody else whether it's love or War both it's about doing something to somebody this is just taking away human potential and possibilities well at different stages in life different requirements are there we are not against it it's perfectly fine but we are perpetuating certain things because we have not found anything else better I ladies it's okay I can say something you won't get all the women of the world against me say I've seen in the airports especially maybe because they're traveling alone I don't know there are women carrying this sized teddy bears they don't have a child with them when I see this I think maybe they got a child no it's their own teddy bear that they just probably bought in the airport or somewhere else and it's like see this was okay when you're four or five years of age we allow you that you're 35 when you're carrying a teddy bear uh it's a little yesterday I was talking to a member of the parliament who comes from Norway he said he invited me he said this he showed me a picture of some remote part of Norway where they have set up some seed bank because this was about safe soil discussion and they came to meet us about this for Norway and they've set up a seed bank they said this is like the like the Noah's Ark all the seeds we are accumulating in this place just in case if there is a nuclear Holocaust or an asteroid hit us or whatever happened and species got destroyed we will have this seed that we can put it back and then he went on to say here uh what is the number he said something there are some some 1500 or not uh people in that whole region and there are some 6 000 or something polar bears then I looked at him and asked which one are you so if if life is about see for all other creatures you I'm I'm trying to inform you because how many of you are still having doubts about whether Evolution happened on this planet or not American people I'm asking you hello Lindsay your creation or evolution still evolving or no well most of you may not understand this still there is a debate in America whether the world was created in seven days I'm sorry six days or it happened over millions of years there is a still a serious debate going on still certain schools are still teaching that it all happened in six days okay so that's why I checked in case there are any creation Theory people so I'm saying all of you have been through that phase where your life was just about eating and breeding and you know getting old and dying one day sleeping when you were a polar bear you were sleeping six months a year it was okay hello when you were a polar bear it was all right you slept for four to six months it was okay all you did was eat well and breed it was okay now I'm just reminding you you have evolved it's been a long time it's time to look and explore at the human possibilities hello we still have a little bit of animal in US nothing wrong because that is the nature of life that's how we've happened because it didn't happen in six days it happened slowly so still some parts of animal is there in US but we have been given enough brain and enough Consciousness enough awareness to sit here and think through whatever we have hello yes or no if you're willing if you're willing you can actually it's not like somebody has more brain than you yes for certain things it's true but for enhancing the life quality all of us have the intelligence to do it it's just that because we already have it defined a definition of what is a Wonderful Life which was formed when you were 14 and flushed with hello you were simply flushing for nothing these definitions were formed at that time and they are still being carried instead of redefining many of you have life has forced you to redefine that's not the way you must sit down and redefine according to your intelligence and capability hello yes or no you must sit down according to your present level of intelligence wisdom that you have you must redefine what is a Wonderful Life if you do not change the definition well we will fall into the same thing two days we will do this this and that when we get excited we come to Kashi and then fall back into the same thing if you do not know this in this country people came to Kashi towards the end of their life and they never went back you know this you said good tomorrow I'm flying back it's okay but I'm saying in some way it doesn't matter you can go back to wherever you're going you shouldn't go away from a tower of light isn't it hello you can go away from the city that's okay but you shouldn't move away from light because moving away from light means moving away from clarity moving away from being able to see that's what it means so you don't move away from Kashi because Kashi is not a town Kashi is not a temple Kashi is an aspiration either it is found conscious aspiration or unconsciously or aspiring but every human being is aspiring in some way to become a tower of light isn't it knowingly or unknowingly everybody is aspiring to become a Kashi so here we are I love you a few questions before we but what time did you eat I know 1 30 but um how much and when will you be somewhat hungry I'm waiting for that moment we'll we'll go through some questions and then we will see it's uh 5 15. hmm yes whoever please take the microphone Guru where are you yep yeah uh I'm uh Meera from if you can hold it this way can you hear me yeah uh namaskaram said Guru I am Meera from Goa uh my question is uh you said the feminine is dying and being no I didn't say any nine I was not talking about the fanny no family this is so my question is what to exactly mean by feminine because feminism is defined in so many ways outside that I'm as a woman confused like what exactly is feminine now [Applause] we are not talking about ISM I was just talking about a certain aspect of creation which we are a part of the way life has formed itself is it true it has happened that's good that's good to know so your uh natural birth for your mother you know how this happens all right so without a masculine and feminine you wouldn't be born yes without these two polarities would you be born unless you're a very unnatural birth hello natural birth means it happened that way so now you can either glorify it or you can make it filthy it's your choice but both are not good this is how life happens each neither glorious nor filthy that's how it is now in among one set of people they do glorification of this another set of people see it as a sin and make it filthy uh these are two tactics to control you two strategies to keep you in control let me not go into the detail of this because it is not the time for that but glorification and making it filthy are not two different things it's the same trick it's the same trick some people openly want to attract you towards something some people want you to be attracted to the forbidden fruit both ways Q will form that's all that will happen so this is the same thing two levels of marketing okay if there was no marketing people would go according to their inclinations everybody does not have the same level of need everybody does not have the same level of drive to every aspect of life different people have different levels of Drive accordingly they would arrange themselves but if everybody arranges their life according to their own inclinations how the hell will we control them and if we don't control them how the hell is there any power in anybody's hand so I will leave that part but you are asking what is feminine but you are connecting it to what is feminism feminism is a ill thought out reaction to the exploitation that's happened for hundreds of years yes badly thought out reaction which gets them into worse place than they were before gives them some physical freedom but in many ways it traps them into many things that is a reaction to continuous exploitation by religious Doctrine by social norms by even political rules everything was made in such a way that a woman is kept below you can't believe this uh what was the year what was the year that uh in America women got their franchise no no no no no when was it somewhere more recent you sure okay in 1920 so till then they had no franchise what's the thinking don't just look at it as a political event okay they didn't have franchise they got it in 20 let's celebrate but I'm asking before 20 what was the thinking I'm asking obviously you are not human hello because you're just my rib hello you're just one piece of bone so bone you can suck on it and when the meat is done you can throw it that's a bone isn't it you know you eat ribs but you people eat ribs all right rib is mostly born little bit flesh so I'm saying that is the thinking it's all coming from that level of thinking so these things have happened because we are only looking at Social dominance we are not looking at life for what it is when the rest of the world thought you're a piece of bone here we thought you were a goddess at least now the reason why we made a woman into your goddess is because there is a physical inequality naturally today you may not notice it because wherever you came from you came flying you didn't notice it if you had to come in a horseback or a worse a donkey or a bull a cart or walking you would notice the difference between a man and a woman yes or no now you flew because of Technology because of development now you can't make out he also flies I also fly what's the big deal but if we had to come walking or on a horseback clearly there would be a distinction most women wouldn't make it not just because of physicality the dangers on the road wouldn't allow her to reach her this is how the world was because of that because there is a physical inequality she had to be psychologically emotionally raised to another place this is the wisdom of the culture that they saw because there is no physical equality if you don't raise her in some other way oh she'll get crushed naturally and eaten up by somebody so these things have been looked at with certain Clarity not in terms of who can dominate the situation not in terms of who is bigger than whom in terms of how to make life happen in an even kill in a balanced way this is not feminism this is not thinking about women or men this is about just looking at life for what it is so when when I talk about feminine I'm definitely not talking about feminism because the important thing is to look at how life can happen with least amount of friction in the best possible way rather than thinking who is superior to whom the moment you think you're Superior to somebody you are in mess with them yes or no whoever they are male female whatever nonsense they are the moment you think I am Superior to you there is a mess that you cannot avoid you're going to get into it who is going to get hurt is just a question of time so you don't try to identify what is my feminism don't do that you may be a woman but may be very masculine it's fine with us hello if that's how you are but is it socially cultivated or is that how you are that is something you must see very clearly are you behaving the way you're behaving because of somebody's culture somebody constantly trying to mold you or is it a natural expression of who you are if you look at that you will find that if I say this is your feminism this this kind of body parts are feminine this kind of body parts are masculine no this kind of body parts are male this kind of body parts are female but not feminine and masculine the difference is your misunderstanding the fundamental nature with the manifestations that have happened they are different [Applause] the men are desperately raising their hands for a chance what are you doing okay I think it's been taken seriously about being a goddess namaskaram said Guru um I lost my mom one I lost my mom one month back I'm going to say it okay so it was sudden and all my spiritual learning everything that I did nothing is working it's not working no that that book I read everything it's a guru I did nothing is okay thank you he said wow somebody says they lost their mother we are not going to say it's okay of course nobody wants to lose their mothers however old they were because of a certain kind of I'm saying it's the first relationship in our life even when you don't know who the hell you are what you are smell of the mother connected us to that immense value but at the same time when you were a child when you were three months of age you want to stay in Atlanta the moment you're three years you don't want to stay in our lap you want to run all over the place hello by the time you're 10 three times in a day you think of your mother a lot of them by the time they're 30. once in three days maybe depends if they are living a good life or a bad life if they're living badly they think of their mothers all the time if they're living very well so uh can I say a joke it's okay hello so uh there was a couple who had their only daughter how many of your only daughters only daughters okay all these are be wary of them these are all heavily pampered famous foreign females so and then after all this you know parents especially fathers never think there's a single man on the planet who's fit for their daughter hello so after so much searching and all kinds of filters they put them through two astrological filter to social filter Financial filter filter at the end of it a man won't exist [Laughter] after doing all those filters they found one man he was not very good [Applause] but the girl said no I'm going to marry this guy because these filters may go on till I'm 80. foreign they went away to Caribbean islands of course they find beaches but the son of the matter then they went on honeymoon and uh 24 hours no message from the goal father is walking around like when she was just about to be born he was walking around like this in the hospital like that he's walking up and down 24 hours no message 48 hours no message 72 hours no message and by the time it's fourth day he said we should go we should go to Caribbean islands and see what the hell is happening what is happening our girls is with that horrible man she's gone and mother was happy in the kitchen doing her stuff and that's John don't worry just relax I would be worried if she was sending messages every day if she's sending messages every day obviously something wrong out there she forgot about us and that's the best thing hello when you get married man or woman in some way you must forget your childhood life otherwise you'll never live a complete life there it doesn't mean you're not grateful for people who raised you you are not you know that's not the point the point is when you move from one phase of life to another in some way you must keep one thing aside otherwise you will breed terrible mother-in-laws who are all over the place yes so uh I'm telling you even when you were two years of age when you just found your feet you wanted to get off your mother's lap yes or no if she only held you to her breast even when you're eight would you want it she would break away isn't it hello when you're two months well you wanted that badly so we must understand life need to move and at least your mother and my mother and for fortunately for most of us they did not exit when we were two months old it's a big Fortune when we badly needed them they were there now that you've grown up standing on your feet they're going they must go when it's their time we don't wish them that they should go but its natural process that they must go isn't it this happened I have told you this many times but because you've forgotten I am reminding you a rich man built a a Wonderful House Wonderful House means you don't know how many rooms are there because there are more rooms than you can use you know what that is that's a Wonderful House where slowly spiders will do well and in India there's a culture when they built up one when they build a Wonderful House they will invite either a sage or a Seer or a yogi to come and bless their home so they invited a yogi mistake number one because they should have invited a very commercial person who will come and do dum dum dum and everything and go they invited a yogi and he came they welcomed him not like a yogi like a king they welcomed him you see how people are trying to welcome me I thought you heard that because when you do welcomes like that some people will start believing they are a king not me I have no such issues so they welcomed him like a king but he's a yogi he went and sat there they did all the things that traditionally is done when a yogi comes home and everything they send served some juice meal because he eat one meal a day he ate well and then the time to leave has come that is the time when the couple come for a blessing husband and wife if you have not seen especially if they're Tamil couple others have forgotten how many Tamil people oh if you see Tamil couple coming for a blessing even with me they will come and generally men don't know which is which are normally women are confused about right and left but with this one thing you will see they know very well which is right and left which is the left side of their husband which is the right side of their husband they know this very well Tamil woman others have slowly forgotten so they will come like this if the husband is decided she and she'll immediately adjust the direction because when they bow down they want to bow down together she on the left side he on the right side to receive the blessing because the Hindu scriptures say without your wife you cannot go to heaven those sexy women are only for dancing foreign [Applause] she's one half of you without her and not they didn't say it's better she's half they said you are thinking you're better that's a sad story if you have a husband who is less than you how to live with him foreign they came for a blessing Yogi raised his hands and said first let your father die then you die then your children die both of them woke up what is this they looked at each other What's Happening Here then the man found his voice and said we treated you like a king we welcomed you we served served you food we did everything now you're saying first my father should die then I should die then my children should die what is this rubbish about the yogi looked very surprised did I say something wrong is it nice if you die before your father is it nice no is it nice if your children die before you that's something we don't want to see isn't it your father dies or your mother dies then you die then your children die everything is in natural order of life this is how life should happen hello now about your mother dying maybe she could have lived for another 20 years that's your thing 20 is enough for 100. but after 20 would you let her go joyfully no you would anyway make a mess out of it so it doesn't matter when she leaves it matters to her life for you whether she leaves today or 10 years later 20 years later you anyway going to make a mess out of yourself well if she left when you're still a child that is unfortunate hmm because that is a time when you need your mother but now you're a grown-up adult when she leaves matters to her life but should not matter to your life well are we going to miss her yes will we cherish her or grieve her is our choice isn't it why is your mother valuable to you because in many ways she's been sweet and wonderful to you if she was horrible to you ah it doesn't matter she's mother or grandmother you will hate her yes or no there are many many Sweet Moments that makes you like this so your choice is this will you bring back those Sweet Moments into your memory and cherish this person who's made you in many ways at least a part of you is made because of God if not the whole of you at least a part of you is because of her will you cherish this person will she be a source of joy for you or will you make it in such a way she is the source of misery in your life this is your choice if you want to honor her she must be the source of joy in your life if you want to debase her she must be the source of pain [Applause] hey this guy is lazy you must go a little deeper and give it to them also Guru how Kashi vishna Jodi linga is unique do they use copper or Mercury or Prana pratiksha consecration so can I just talk about Kashi vishna linga thank you so much [Applause] [Music] [Applause] oh it is uh what is the word uh uh what is the word I'm forgetting the legal word for this uh it's subjudice [Applause] the subjudies and that too today is the hearing and the local Court maybe it's already done we don't know the ruling today I think 20 or 22nd yes yesterday but it's subjuice still so I cannot make a comment on that and because this is being webcast I forgot I'm doing webcast [Applause] see this is my problem I thought I'm just talking to just a hall full of loonies and I can say whatever I want but it's being on www the three worlds it's reaching and I don't know what all they're doing already taking small pieces of the videos sub duties [Applause] huh let's see them always the microphone works only near the mouth door you're speaking from your heart it doesn't work [Applause] lately in me the more I see the more I know I know that I have no idea what to do or how to do and I don't even know why I do certain things and why I don't do certain things and if I can use your own phrase there was one thing they always wanted to hear Yogi in Marketplace or I if you ask me now I don't even know if if that's the case if I have to put it in words what should I do I have no idea what to do so what should I do first you must hand over the microphone foreign [Applause] it's all right you use the microphone to ask a question but that's it after that microphone is dangerous with the man who doesn't know what to do foreign so what should I do certain moments everybody is like this they're a bit honest but now if I tell you okay you do this this and this by tomorrow morning you would have found how you cannot do those things so little more I really do not know I really do not know should mature and culture within you it should enter every cell in your body then if you come I have a solution for you because [Applause] all those idiots who think they must become a doctor when they are five years age five years of age because somebody has told them such a thing or bloody idiots at least you don't know what to do it's a very good thing maybe socially not very good thing your family doesn't think it's a very good thing a whole lot of people you married huh but you don't know what to do [Applause] so she will not like it that you don't know what to do so for all those circumstances you must pretend like you know what you're doing all right but if you are a genuine human being you are not some Mash or nonsense you're a genuine human being nobody knows what to do only when you really really know that you don't know what to do with this life that's when you become a real Seeker you start seeking what is this about oh by the time you're 12 13 you know what to do I want to become an astronaut I want to become this I want to become that this is just social rubbish if you were a caveman what would you be thinking I want to kill this I want to kill that hello so nobody really knows what to do because when you don't know what you are how do you know what to do hello when you don't know the nature of your existence how do you know what should be the nature of your action if you know you are either a nut case or a bloody fool you don't know that's when you become a Seeker genuinely you don't know not just saying I don't know because you're confused right now about something no not like that today you're confused about something that you wanted to do it's not working so you wanted to do this Yogi in a Marketplace business either the marketplace collapse or the yoga collapsed now you don't know what to do no that's not what I'm talking about you genuinely don't know what to do with this life because you don't know hello because you don't know what it is first of all when you don't know what this is how do you know what to do with this so if you come to that kind of I do not know then I have an answer for you a powerful answer which is life transforming and so on but if you're just confused because Marketplace is not working for you I used to go in the marketplace that's your business all right or you don't know whether you should continue yoga or not okay struggle even more because when you don't know what it is doing to you to get up in the morning every day and do it it's quite a torture you must you need some torture probably but if you genuinely genuinely don't know what do I do with this life what is this about if such a question has come don't kill that question with some silly answer deepen the question when the question becomes very profound ah don't worry I'm there for you wherever you are it doesn't matter where you are normally I leave everybody like that I don't give assurances but I'm telling you if you genuinely come to such a question in within you doesn't matter which part of the world you are I am there right there next to you hundred percent those anybody please take the max hello okay you can go first lady she's a gentle lady I mean not a gentleman that's right all right all right from Jaipur so my question was regarding Kashi that you've mentioned that Kashi is above the ground and a lot of physical destruction happened so has it impacted the energy body of Kashi and I saw you in the morning giving instructions to the Kashi vishwanath Temple team are you planning to rebuild Kashi thank you it is it is subjuries [Applause] this is trouble from Rajasthan now we thought there are too many bear walls entering the temple because it was built in a rush for a certain time and after all government engineers and Architects designed it it is not the Ancient Temple that it was the the one that comes from the Riverside from the god is a lot of bear walls it's looking like a diamond building so I thought we will do some metal art work on that because uh you've got an artist beard if you are capable please come and spend some time we could look at that no rebuilding of Kashi because well there was another question to that see I've I have said this about I don't know many of you too many new faces you may not know these things but uh probably I'm not sure I'm uh you know right now you how many of you have this Mystics musings book whew not bad okay anyway we are working right now to add content to the mystics musings because that was done 25 years ago so uh normally I can't read what I have written and can't listen to what I have spoken generally so for the first time I'm reading because we need to add appropriate material in between and nearly 100 addition is going to happen most probably the book will become our 1000 pages you can't carry it like that foreign so it may take some time but probably sometime next year it is possible so as a part of this uh because for the first time I'm reading the book and I'm finding it quite exciting because hello how did you find it because this was 25 years ago I didn't know what I spoke at that time so one aspect was about how the Diana linga that you see today is actually not needed we could have removed it is it there yes because it was only used as a scaffolding see right now to put this roof up they would have used the scaffolding if you came here when the hotel was being constructed there would be pipes and pipes and pipes holding this concrete block up once it became strong enough they removed that now it is there so if you kept the scaffolding you couldn't use this Hawk properly all of you would be sitting behind all kinds of Steel poles yes so that's what a scaffolding means it is needed only when you're consolidating the structure once the consolidation has happened you can remove the structure but in the case of the building we will remove it because it will impede our ability to use the hall so we will take it away but in the case of these kind of structures we don't remove it because people still go by their visual perception they can't simply sit there and feel it they still need to see something there have to be cultural elements they have to be traditional processes and other things otherwise they won't be able to if you come into your temple and there is nothing inside you will wonder where is it nothing to see I mean to say so we leave the scaffolding so that people can see because out of these five perceptions that you have for most normal human beings when I say normal I am mean to say socially screwed up human beings hello because they are the majority or let me take back the normal word and you will allow me to take back the word I'll say majority of the human beings their normal or not is up to you for them nearly 65 percent of their perception is visual then other things significantly lower lower but if you if you make yourself really sensitive if you become a yogi you're practicing yoga if you become a yogi the biggest sense perception is touch if you sit here this is why I always close your eyes because if you sing it's all distorted images that you're getting if you close your eyes you you touch things life touches you in so many ways so the more you enhance your energies the more intense your energies become you will see the reversal of the ratio of proportions that we have for sense perception right now this is 65 now this will start reversing itself if the sense that sense of touch becomes 65 to 70 then you don't have to look at anything if you close your eyes you just put your hand out like this you know who is here who is not here just like that like if you go into if you uh at one time I was like that I destroyed my my olfactory system to some extent I'm still normal but when I was at a certain stage in my life if I walk into Hall I would know who's here not because they're wearing a particular perfume or something just like that if when I lived you know I walked in the nights I always chose to walk in the nights in the forest no Torchlight no nothing just by smelling like a wild animal all the animals are mostly feeling their life see all the carnivores are there's among their sense organs sense of smell is the strongest they are endowed with this because without that they will not be able to trap the herbivores herbivorous animals and that cycle of Life needs to go so uh you know I've I was just reading some newspaper comments about these eight cheetahs were brought from Namibia to India because in 1970s they went extinct they went extinct because cheetah hunting and cheetah pets were very popular among the the princes and the kings of the time always had cheetahs at beds as hunting pets that you could train them I don't know uh even in the television and everything they're saying cats but cheetah is actually a dog am I correct just look it up anyway uh well people are excited it's the fastest animal but the problem with the carnivores is they are mainly determined by smell their ability to see and other things are not that good but by smell they know where what is after that they can see but the first and the most important thing is smell otherwise they will not know how to find it the reason why dogs are being used even to trace down criminals and stuff is they can smell you out because it's a carnivorous animal foreign so uh this process of reversal of proportions of Senses is important otherwise what you see is already that seeing is not believing for a yogi because seeing is very deceptive see suppose hmm you sit here hey I'm picking on you because you're right here okay not for any other reason if I am only seeing you with my eyes oh she's so happy all the receptionists are so happy hello all the air hostesses seem to be so happy no if you close your eyes and feel you know who is who so seeing is very very deceptive anybody can fool you if all you have is just this hello anything in the world can fool you what looks fantastic may not be so fantastic because you see it as it appears because what you see is only a reflection you know this night falls reflects upon you goes and forms an image so it's just a reflection that reflection can be jigged whichever way you want and that is not the real nature of things so even in everybody's life it is true when you really want to see something unknowingly you may hello happens maybe it's not very well developed in most people but when you really want to see something what's it what's with it ah happens isn't it because somewhere you you may not be conscious but somewhere deep inside there is an instinct which tells you by closing your eyes you may see better or another reason why you may be closing your ices you do want to take away the visual distraction so that you can process your thought better that may also be another reason but that's a different process but from Vision being 65 to 70 percent of your senses if you reverse it if your sense of touch becomes that nobody has to touch you you are touched by everything just by being here everything touches you just by being here right now you sit here there are a thousand people in this Hall their breath at least must be touching you isn't it hello but you are not conscious only if they elbow you you know so this reversal of Senses is important for you to understand or perceive certain aspects of life so that's the reason why the scaffolding is not removed anyway what is be what it's been set up for anyway lives but schedule if we want to remove the scaffolding it must be done in a gentle and nice way not by an Invader coming who wants to destroy it he removes it that's not the point we must put back the scaffolding it's sub duties so it's not for me foreign itself does not depend on scaffolding but people's emotion people's connection with that depends on the scaffolding so for people it's important it must be put back for Kashi it is not important [Applause] and I have a question on sapna from Fiji Fiji vigilance yes I have a question on the quality of being feminine as navratri is coming in one or two days I would like to know if it is okay for menstruating women to to offer prayers in our homes while we are on our menstruation cycle or is it okay to go to a temple and of our prayers while we're on a cycle whether it is okay or not okay and if you can shed some light on this place thank you the Indian origin people in Fiji are still two centuries ago [Laughter] when you went there from India you're still in the same place other Indian women have moved on [Applause] foreign [Applause] you must understand this why these things were spoken in the past one important thing is see there was never a holiday for a woman you must understand this even now in many homes it's still true today is a holiday for everybody office and school break means a woman is working overtime okay maybe man is pitching in a little bit today but those days it wouldn't be so and there was not just one woman in the house generally there were multiple women because joint families and stuff I have been in a joint family they were where there were 400 people you know people so nearly about 150 plus women are there so out of this some are taking care of children some are cooking some are cleaning some are doing things women distribution of Labor is happening because men go out and work in the fields and stuff women take care of these things and uh see I know there are some feminists but let us look at this sensibly without any prejudice tell me as a woman on those days of the month would you like a break especially if it's hard physical work that you're doing hello if it's very hard physical work because everything was physical in those days cooking was not like you know you put it in the microwave not like that there's cutting grinding lifting bringing water enormous amount of physical labor so those days they said you don't enter the kitchen you be now Puja worship you're talking about see in my grandfather's place and all that Puja room is like a third of this home huge there are so many gods to be satisfied yes dozens and dozens of gods and goddesses the day a woman is allotted to do Puja because different days different women are allotted so that because Puja is a strenuous process to do Puja means you must take some special water not just some muddy water from somewhere special water from that part of the river you carry it bring it clean the Puja room prepare all these things put flowers make prasadam this that a whole lot of work this is worship is not simply okay it was a it was an elaborate process so again she got a break if she's at that time of the month she doesn't have to do it so generally she was given break from everything because that's the only holiday she got in a month there are no Sundays Mondays Fridays nothing for her every day is on and on and on at least when she's in a way a woman is mouthing when this is going on you know something of the old is going away and something new is beginning to form in the system and above all women did not have periods every month in those days because they had children and they were nursing the children so two three years they wouldn't have if they have periods it's only for a few months and again they're pregnant and it will go on in her life from the age of 14 to 45 or whatever if she delivers five six children she might have seen uh maybe a few dozen periods I want you to know I met a lady in Syria where after her first period when she was 13 plus she's never had a period till she's 50 because she always had children and children continuously no no you may say oh my God now at that time at that time I want you to understand even in the beginning of 20th century the population on the planet was only 1.6 billion today definitely is oh my God all right so if you look back a thousand years ago what was our population it within a few hundred thousand across the planet so there's not enough human beings only wild animals everywhere and they pick up your babies and go away whenever they want yes how many people in the you know before let's say 18th century or before 16th century in this country how many families have lost their children to Tigers just find out the static statistics are astounding because almost every family would have lost one child to the Tigers today you are worshiping the Tigers because their numbers have diminished but when they were breeding well they were just eating all over the place there was enough Wildlife but people had to go into the forest for so many things and you know suppose a mother and child goes into the forest to pick something when the tiger comes the child doesn't run as fast as a mother so child boss as it is happening with the wildlife the older ones will run faster the younger ones get caught you know the same thing if you look at the stats it's astounding number of children picked up so most women did not have a few dozen periods in their life or maybe let us say a hundred periods in our entire reproductive life so those days they said take a break from cooking from worship from your man from everything but today that's not the case for most of the time women are not in a reproductive process that is not needed so now this period is being looked at as a big thing because it's happening every month it was never happening every month for most healthy woman it was happening once in a way so those days they said a break don't have to do anything giving you Freedom even not to pray is a tremendous relief hello you don't have to cook for your family you don't even have to serve God on that day leave everybody alone take care of yourself isn't it a wonderful process we are looking at it from the wrong side of History wrong side of times in which we are so you can go wherever you [Applause] know where are you I'm Jasmine from Bangalore my story must be yeah Mysore Malik what is the Bangalore my question is um yesterday when we were coming back from the Kashi vishwanath Temple we found uh the street the exit path where we were coming out it was full of garbage and a lot of Filth so we really didn't get a good feeling when we're coming out so we were discussing internally with some of my friends that can we do something about this and you know get involved uh maybe beautify one street which is coming out of the Temple so what would you be your advice and will you be able to support us if you don't know this is about nine nine years ago when the first time I came somebody knows the date nine or ten years ago when did I come 2012 10 years ago when I came after uh seeing Kashi I actually I was in this hotel that was the only time I stayed here after that we've been staying on the Riverside her some media came to ask me satguru what is your impression first time you come to Kashi can you believe it till 2012 I had not come to Kashi because I am not I am an inward Pilgrim I'm not a pilgrimage person going from place to place so they asked me I said it's fabulous and filthy I said oh how can you say this some people printed some negative things but rest of them understood I said see this is the whole problem if you remove the filth it would be just fabulous but right now it's fabulous and filthy anyway you have not seen Kashi at that time today what you're seeing uh thanks to our prime minister he made this his constituency he made it because though his strengths and his political growth is from Gujarat he made Kashi his consciency and that was a very Visionary and a bold thing to do because to go and win an election a crucial election in a new place not from your hometown is generally considered politically stupid but he took that step and ever since Kashi development has been happening otherwise you couldn't go 100 meters without spending at least 20 to 30 minutes by Road everything was congested everything was overflowing into the street most people lived on the street than in their homes they did business on the street then in their shops filth was you need a train to clear it not a truck that's how it was and even the river was full of Filth so in the last uh um six plus two eight years what's happened here for those who have seen Kashi 10 12 years ago it's a revolution in many ways well first of all you couldn't enter the temple there was because of this property dispute that is going on in sub-judice but whatever was entry was left was a like this and because North Indian people have a Fascination for marble Stone they put Marble Marble everywhere with people walking continuously it became so smooth and the day I came it was drizzling a little bit and I saw two older people people who become old maybe they were younger to me in years but people who become old they just slipped and fell so badly I just you know even I was having trouble walking because it's slippery it's just become so smooth over time and when I came in I the priests who were there I told him who is in charge here I will do the granite flooring for you where people don't have to slip and fall I'll do it free of cost for you please who is in charge of this but it was all over the place all it was in a run in a certain way I don't want to go into those details uh it used to be a bad experience to come to Kashi in spite of whatever you saw it as a great thing people made sure and the situation made sure that it's a bad experience for you what has happened in the last eight years time is miraculous now there is a proper entry as this and of course there are disputes you saw the small patches which are not fixed you know small squares just something like 15 by 20 kind of square not fixed because that's disputed property it belongs to the other community it's in the court and uh we can't sit down and talk to each other and say okay you take this piece I'll take this piece let's settle it no because nobody certain people don't want a resolution because problem is an investment a problem is a great investment for a whole lot of people because many people have risen to power over problems of other people if you find a solution then what do you have where is your ladder to climb so this is going on hope some judicial reply will come and they will settle these things I think they are moving in that direction because everything is there because this is not like other places where there was a dispute about property clearly you know there are historical documents where clearly aurangzeb has given a written order that this Temple should be demolished so whoever his men who came and demolished they gave a completion report that Temple has been demolished we're building a mosque using the same material all these things they have given so this historical documents clearly preserved and saying this so there is no really property dispute it's more settling the communities now to ensure that it doesn't go up in Flames so that everybody somehow settled one way or the other it should be done because otherwise these festering wounds in a country is not good long term it will now that it's come into people's awareness you can't just again put them back to sleep as this as they slept for a few centuries so having said that should Kashi be built back we don't have to think on those lines let's see what the because we believe in the Constitution more than anything right now according to the Constitutional Law whatever happens everybody should go with it and be done with it because you cannot refix history hello terrible things have happened everywhere in the world one way or the other terrible things have been done to somebody or the other here it's been to the majority Community but it doesn't matter because we should not forget it but at the same time we shouldn't be poisoned by resentment because of what terrible things happened in the past terrible things happen in the past if you forget it similar things may happen to you again but the important thing is people who identify with those people who did Terrible Things today's communities have nothing to do with the Invaders but unfortunately certain number of them identify with those Invaders such people should come to some sense of remorse and Reconciliation then this will be gone because it's about everybody's life not about fighting over what happened 300 400 years ago it's important that today's life goes on well and tomorrow's life goes on well well yesterday's life was bad so we don't have to spread that rot into today and tomorrow so this wisdom is needed but going by the Constitution I think is the best thing because that's a guideline for everything here we are already www I've walked into your minefield [Applause] namaskaram satguru so on the context which you just spoken now that context is over okay again so what does it take for an architect to consecrate a building what kind of sadhana or what does it take an architect should not consecrate so how do I ensure that the people whom we build for whom we cater for have a better life like we we are responsible for building schools so we are responsible for more windows than walls that's a basic principle [Applause] can there be any process of scientific like you always talk about scientific process making uh things scientific is there anything that you would want to give to The Architects for this country so free architecture lessons what architect please sit down see uh I mean this what I say right now may be completely off say because we are sitting in a air-conditioned Hall and talking all this rubbish it won't work but the way the climate is becoming the way things are can we really live with open windows you open the windows you get Dengue if you close the windows you get Corona hello for any sensible architecture of buildings to happen first of all there must be a sensible architecture of humanity see for this building let's say we need hundred thousand bricks but if you use 500 000 bricks what will happen there'll be no place to live there'll be only bricks right now slowly We are Becoming like that because it's estimated by 2050 we could be nearly 10 billion people only people all other species are evaporating from the planet but the architecture of life is such they must be in trillions and zillions we must be in a appropriate number we are going towards trying to go towards a trillion the architecture of life is such zillions and zillions of other species are there which you cannot even see by the time you can see life already multiple zillions hundreds of zillions of lives are thriving before you could see a small insect or a worm and the incredible thing is is it okay if I go to soil somebody yesterday accused me sadhguru these days you're not talking any spirituality only saying soil soil all the time there are only four months I spoke soil but they think it's too much and the incredible thing about the Seas till now about 17 counts have been measured but today scientists believe it could run into probably hundreds that is there is a certain type of microorganism a certain life is engineered in a certain way a certain type of cell a single cell thing micro micro thing now they have identified 17 of the same kind slightly bigger slightly bigger slightly bigger slightly bigger the biggest one is also needs an electron microscope the smaller ones are so micro they believe there could be hundreds like this exactly same design getting bigger bigger bigger bigger but still macro isn't it incredible because this is the architecture of Life solid created in such a way that it can't just collapse just like that it is built in such a fabulous way millions of years of research and development on the planet Happening by nature and slowly life came out and here we are now we are thinking about how to build our dwellings our office spaces our whatever see we need so much infrastructure so much infrastructure hmm in India we cannot say this so much but I do not know the exact number somebody here what Lindsay you know in United States how many bathrooms do you have no no overall including the public ones and everything I think there are more bathrooms than people are you sitting all the time more bathrooms than people in India today the government is very proud that they built some 10 crore bathrooms and things like that well because we were doing a more eco-friendly thing till now because of excessive population especially for women it's become ugly that wherever they go there is somebody there's no privacy if there was privacy people went and sat in there agricultural Fields nobody would come it was perfectly fine you put it in the sewage then take it and then process it and put it in the land no they put it directly into the land in with the with the concentration of population that you have you can't do that anymore it's become ugly but otherwise that's what I was advertising when we were first going to kailash they said satguru what are all the important things there okay definitely there's glorious kailash but the most important thing you will have the most spectacular toilets on the planet really yes because the view is fantastic [Applause] first time when I'm I'm driving a Land Cruiser and there is a Tibetan guide sitting next to me and the back seat there are three people two of them are ladies and uh we're driving and of course there are no bathrooms in Tibet at that time now they've all come up in many ways but you don't get into any one of them okay because yeah I don't know the world so these ladies ask uh if you want to use the loo where do we go the guide says tree behind so they go tree behind then we drive into the Tibetan Plateau as it gets higher absolutely no trees there's not a speck of green anywhere then they ask me now what do we do he says Rock behind then they go looking for rocks and behind then we drive into the you know the deeper part of Tibetan plateau where it's like a moonscape there is no Rock there is no tree there is not a blade of grass nothing then say what do we do he says car behind [Applause] so if there was no so much of human population even if there were a lot of microbes it would be okay to do it it's the human eye which makes everything difficult isn't it hello so uh architecture how many bedrooms should we build how much window space how much data everything has gotten Twisted out because of so many things so there are practical realities of today that you cannot really build an ideal building unless you're building one lone space somewhere all by yourself in 100 acres you're building one house then you can build it the way you want otherwise you have to go by the social norms and situations variety of compulsions are there in a given Society you must uh you have such uh aspiration you must come to Triple I in Tennessee we have 22 000 acres of land and now we've committed already that we will build only 30 percent 70 percent is committed to conservation so here we want to build in such a way initially we have built whatever we've built but we are looking at how to build both workspaces and Living Spaces in such a way that it will be unique and not subject to social norms people build in such a way that it's healthy and well for them and for every other life around us but you need to understand this those of you who've grown up in cities have become like this even opening a window and closing a window is a problem all right it's always shut AC is always on 24 hours boom boom whatever the season this attitude you must change you must experience a little bit of heat a little bit of cold little bit of sweat a little bit of freezing happening to you all these things are needed for life too thrive otherwise you become like a lab Rod a lab rat who suffers just about everything see just just observe this and see across India for example it's true everywhere in the world what is the Urban mortality for covet what is the rural mortality please look at it people will say oh that is because Urban concentrations are higher that's not the only reason because the very body is much stronger and better because they're living exposed to elements and nature bodies in a certain way in these three years nearly three years now I have never tested positive and uh I've I've not been living in seclusion I've traveled more than I was traveling earlier in this two and a half years I have done enormous amount of travel we have run campaigns and people always think I must inhale their breath so they always come close to me like this because they think because of these things you know because the yogi means he feels their breath they come and speak into my face a little distance means yes yes yes [Music] come here and speak so they're falling all over me but I've never tested positive there must be something to it hello I am not claiming I am a superhuman I will not die because of Corona but whether it's your genetic strength or basic structural strength of the body all these things are determined by how much life is happening to you when I say how much life temperature variations wind water different types of water different types of air all these things matter but now you're trying to incubate your children like a laboratory oh they could if you do this they may fall dead yes because you become more the more protected you are the more fragile you become so as architect I must tell you something that you will freak you shall I you know this has been something a fancy that I've been wanting to do because I've designed all the almost all the buildings in Asia shoestring or worse budget so always trying to design everything with Budget on the mind plan a plan B plan C I have always they've made sure I settle for planting so I've been thinking I must build some home or something where budget is not a limit at last somebody has offered me such a possibility I have taken up a job they don't pay me of course where I am going to design a house and build it for someone where budget is not the limit after that when it's built you can come and see how it is done [Applause] you know getting little fancy full at 65. people asking me satguru where do you have the time for this I said some of the work if you take it on I'll have time hello what huh see uh almost eight ten years eight nine years ago we thought of starting a design school because there are thousands of designs in my head which few things I write and somebody well some of our people make it I'm saying from simplest things that we have done everything largely designed by me these days our boys and girls are doing wonderfully well by themselves but most of the things that are done in the last 25 years who are designed by me so I thought I'll you know they I said get me one computer where I can design some things and make it real uh they got me the computer but I have not had the time to open the damn computer so I thought we'll start a design school where I can go and speak and younger people will put it on paper or whatever else on computer but uh work has been breathless we're going on a breathless space and been planning to reduce it but it's increasing like crazy [Laughter] so in the next one or two years we may have to do the amount of work we've done in last 10 years may happen in the next one one and a half years because it's become very Global and all over we have invites from dozens of countries from the heads of state to come and establish many things so we are looking at that so uh architects who are building their own homes we may need them [Applause] yeah namaskaram satguru since we are discussing about feminine today I have a question we discussed many other things but I have a question related to Devi uh Devi Parvati actually so I just in the ancient scriptures we've learned that Devi Parvati has been incarnated in various forms like uh kanyakumari or malsa or matsakanya kanyakumari is a South Indian woman okay so yeah so is from Himalayas you know what it means Parvati means the daughter of parvat yeah she's from Himalayas kanyakumari is a South Indian woman so I mean I was just curious to know what do they mean when they say a divine feminine energy is incarnated in the human form again what I mean can you please elaborate what exactly does it mean thank you uh you have to change your definition of the Divine because you've been overly influenced by outside cultures where they're always thinking Divine means it'll come like this there most of the time pictures are shown where sun rays are shown as divine coming down okay you must understand this is a culture which always saw Divine as evolution of a human being you attend your status of being Divine by evolving to a certain level of perception wisdom experience and Grace it's not something that descends from heaven it is something that grows here why do you think I'm wasting my time with you my life with you hoping we will grow a garden of divine I'm all of you clapping you think I'm wasting my time make sure I don't waste my time okay because Divine is an evolution when you see this is why I was in the United States a few years ago and a journalists asking me sadhguru there are so many people in eastern cultures who who are evolved human consciousness they're represented consciousness who would you think in the western world he's a prominent name like that without batting an eyelid I said Charles Darwin I said what he's a biologist it doesn't matter he sees that life can evolve into higher and higher possibilities this is all spiritual process is right now it doesn't matter you may be just a lump of flesh but you can evolve if you're willing consciously you can evolve into a higher possibility so here Divine is an evolution of individual human being it's not a descendants from somewhere nobody descends from anywhere everybody's normal birth it's important it's very important that everybody is normal birth means we have accepted the woman's biology as it is this is very important for our Evolution hello is it not it's very very important we accept at least a biology if you do not accept the biology the way it is then there's no room for evolution isn't it so if you change the definition of divine in your mind that it is a possibility in your life it is not something that's going to come from somewhere if it has to come it has to come from within you if you understand this then this question is not so relevant so in that sense wherever some woman Rose to a certain level of Consciousness we told we said oh she is like Parvati there are so many all over all over the country there are so many whom we refer to as gauri Parvati Kali this that these are all different people who Rose but they were not in characteristic all the same see everybody who Rises within themselves need not behave the same way as today we have made a constipated expression of what a saint should be like all right but look back and see when people got enlightened when people Rose in their Consciousness each one behaved as it was needed for that given Society some of them fought battles hello some of them fought battle some some people just sat down and blessed people some people did other kind of work everyone did what was needed I'm asking you a simple question if you are very conscious within yourself you have no compulsions of your own what would you do would you do just do this or just meditate just do something or would you do what is needed on the day that's all so save soil is needed it's not my project hello you just need it that's all so do not judge them by their expression or their looks one is gauri she's fair and now there's Carly she's dark one is pretty and beautiful another tongue hanging out and like this both are equally worshiped hello because at that time they were doing what was needed in that given Society we are not defining them because of their actions she is carrying the head of a man who's just been beheaded you think you need this woman you don't need that woman today but at that moment she was needed so this is something that you have to come to you do not either Define your life or somebody else's life where the actions that they perform because actions are only relevant to the times in which you exist it's got nothing to do with me or you maybe you have become so identified with things that you do see the thing is right now if I do yoga they say he's a yogi if I ride a motorcycle they say oh he's a mood cyclist if I hit a ball they say he's a golfer if I go a trek is the hoe he's a Trekker if I fly an airplane they say he's an aviator you going on identifying with the actions that one performs actions are as relevant to the given situation and the times in which we exist isn't it actions have nothing to do if you are truly conscious actions haven't got nothing to do with this one right now if you are performing actions to become something then actions have something to do with you now uh you are doing some activity and that is what makes you who you are then you get identified with activity that is not the nature of one who is conscious actions don't decide who I am or who anybody is actions are determined by the situations we exist right now so you must redefine the Divine in your mind that Divine is not something that comes and drops from somewhere Divine has to be grown here nowhere else it can be grown it doesn't grow on the trees it has to grow here foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] pretty Danger salvation foreign [Music] [Applause] [Applause] foreign foreign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] salvation [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause]
