Student Asks Sadhguru What Is God?

so I've been watching your videos for quite some time and you know you've made an interesting comment that you know when you think of God most people think of him as an old man sitting up there with a big beard you know you talking about me old beard sitting up here tell me further and so my question was I was curious to understand what in your definition would be would be God see the reason why in every culture people have come up with their own concept of God every culture has a different concept of God but everybody has come up with some concept of God because they have no explanation for creation isn't it hello you came out of your mother's womb and looked around too much creation you know you didn't do it then you looked up your mother maybe she did it well she delivered you but she did not deliver the planet you know that then you looked at your father and now not him you looked at every other adult around you nobody looked like competent enough to make all this happen isn't it yes or no there is not one person here who looks like he's competent to create this whole creation around us so the simplistic conclusion is there is a big man sitting up there I fit the definite description at least the Western description I have fit in the India I don't fit but now there is an argument a big argument in the United States churches is God a man or a woman the last election they tried to settle that issue then work that way so your ideas of God are essentially cultural in nature you know Idi Amin you heard of Idi Amin you know about the men not trans in here but in Africa Idi Amin declare god is black I agree with him I agree with because if a white man can have a white board why can't a black man have a blackboard so this argument also is going on particularly in the u.s. churches they try to settle that in the previous election but in India we know God is brown especially Indians who live outside of India very proud of this because you know we know what God looks like because he himself visited India nine times you don't know this hello nine times he himself visited two other places he sent his son his messenger Indians Indians are very proud of this to other places only messengers and sons went to India he himself came I keep reminding them that is because God wouldn't trust anybody else with Indians he wanted to do the job hands-on with Indians so he himself came not once nine times and he failed nine or ten times we can debate but failure you cannot debate isn't it obviously he failed what do you think he maybe didn't do the best job yeah you owe me so many of us yes coming hands-on that's a failure isn't he could have sent somebody like everywhere else so our ideas of God are coming because we have no explanation for creation what you are referring to as God is essentially that which is the source of creation isn't it because you're human you are imagining it has to be a big human being suppose you were a buffalo you would definitely think it's a big Buffalo you heard of the big yak in Tibet you not see I went hunting for a big yak I drove all over Tibet took permissions and drove off road everywhere to see the big guy because they told me the big yard from horn to horn is six feet wide I wanted to see this animal oh my god how would it be then after driving everywhere I realized it's like he got big in their heads he's little bigger than the domesticated yak but it got so big they said it's six feet wide the horns and I said I must see this but there was no such animal anywhere in Tibet so if you are a buffalo you would definitely think God is a big Buffalo recently so our ideas of God are childish but it is a fact that you and me did not make this creation happen that's a fact isn't it but you don't know how it happened with all the exploration of science we still do not know how it exactly happened nobody knows isn't it you pay attention to a flower to a leaf to an end to an insect if you pay enough attention each one of them smacks of tremendous sense of intelligence isn't it so hello if you put filt to the root it becomes a flower fantastic or not look at you look at you just the soil that you walk upon look at you how we were sitting became such a sophisticated machine isn't it so whatever is the source of creation well happy people are saying God is Lao desperate people are saying God is compassion other people are saying now it's ending in North America the God is empathy they they've not been hit by life yet but if you pay enough attention to create because it is the presence of creation which has given you the idea of God in your head isn't it if there was no creation you wouldn't think there is a God if you pay enough attention to every piece of creation what you will see is its intelligence intelligence intelligence intelligence beyond what you can contain in your brains yes or no but nobody said God is intelligence unfortunately if we had said that definitely we would be populated with more intelligent human beings rather than the sappy ones you know we are our Center is in Tennessee we have a large center there when I was new there I walk into this town which is a one-horse town literally a small town and I'm walking on the street and greeting people smiling at them thinking they'll be happy to see a new face but it's a different kind of setup I'm just I'm just at the right complexion a shade darker than this cannot be there in that town I'm just on edge so one big man this wide over six feet tall comes and stands close to me he looks down at me and says God losses then I say the way you are only God can love you before this went inside and worked I had to go away because everybody's concocting their own ideas leave your ideas pay attention to the creation tell me if this flower has to blossom nobody it sprayed perfume to the roots they put filth hello they put menu that many are breaking fragrance this means is there a tremendous amount of intelligence functioning in this rose plant hello you ate a piece of bread and this became a human being is there a tremendous amount of intelligence beyond your brains functioning within you so this is the source of creation right now for you if you access even one drop of that intelligence you will live magically instead of becoming hallucinatory if you believe things that you don't see you will become hallucinatory but if you access things which are not in your access right now your life will get tremendously enhanced that's what you should look at right now there is an intelligence here which can turn a piece of bread into your human being if I took a loaf of bread in my hands and made it into a human being who do you think I am you would think I'm the source of creation isn't it every one of you is doing this in your stomach of course not in your hands but no excess so if you don't have something it's okay but if you have it and you don't access it this is a crime a person named so my entire life's work is just this so that you find access to the source of creation that also drops within you you're right now a piece of creation that's fine but you are also the source of creation within yourself if you find access to that intelligence you live in a magical way other people will think you're superhuman but this is not about being superhuman this is about realizing being human itself is super [Applause]
