Sadhguru: (Laughs) Namaskaram. Namaskaram, Namaskaram to everyone wherever you are. Well,
the musics, Sounds of Isha, Ah, the Native Americans who
are referred to as Indians, and of course Indians (Laughs)
from India, it's nice, a good meld of these two cultures in the form
of music. Wonderful. Here we are at Bear Lake, Utah. A little over 6:30, Sun
is yet to come up; no sign of him (Laughs). Temperatures are somewhere around
six to seven degrees centigrade, hmm, fire is all around me. Ah,
but as you know, hmm, the, the virus is still picking up momentum in many
parts of the world, including United States and India, and a few other countries. Still
in India, deaths are over a thousand per day. United States, around nine-hundred per day.
Well, though in India, the fatality rate is low, as economy opens up, different
social activity opens up, we're seeing surges happening. In United States,
ah, people are predicting an autumn surge. Largely I think economic activity here is reasonably
on, at least on the roads, on the highways, all the trucks are plying, maybe, at
least, sixty percent of the usual traffic. And unfortunately, the President of
United States and the First Lady, also have fallen victims to
this, hope they recover soon. Well, many ministers, many people in the
administration including our Vice President of India also Covid infected. I hope, Shri.
Venkaiah Naidu recovers quickly, considering age, they must take care. I'm sure doctors will do
the best, but this is of great concern that people who are well protected,
if it's happening to them, the regular population which needs to go out and
do things on the street, the challenges of it. And some of the statistics or some of the
studies show that seventy percent of the people who get infected don't spread
the virus to even one more person. But the ten percent who are
considered as super-spreaders – in case they are very happy, they’re in
some way super – this ten percent is giving to… at least ninety percent of the
infections are because of them. That means each one of them is giving to a
minimum of nine to ten people. But seventy percent is a responsible population – once they test
positive, they're not giving it to anybody else. That's fantastic news. We just have to make this
seventy percent into hundred percent. That is the real solution actually for virus problem
and various other problems that we have. So, people who are calculating, “Post pandemic, what
do I do?” Please don't jump into that too quickly. Nobody told you, it is like some
kind of a thing on a particular date, we can say, “Virus over and we're going to do
something new.” No, it will not happen that way. We… I hope… I know like the important thing is
that we must come up with the treatment protocol. Like we have managed various other killers,
like tuberculosis, malaria, dengue, we have a (an?) effective treatment protocol. Because of that we think we are free from
it – but it's all over the place anyway, but we are managing without being worried about those
things because we have a treatment protocol. The same needs to happen with this, that we
must have an effective treatment protocol. I'm sure lot of work is
being done in that direction. And that could be one of the reasons for the
number of recoveries. Ah, but at the same time there is still no consensus on, “This is
the way to treat this.” That needs to happen. Today happens to be the World Animal Day. No, I'm
not talking about you (Laughs). I'm talking about the World Animal Day, 4th of October is the World
Animal Day (Laughs). I'm sorry. A little bit of the fire smoke in my eyes. The wind is changing
direction, hmm, it’s okay. It's all right. Ah, just to give you – if you already do not know – two-hundred million animals
killed for food, daily on land. And three billion including aquatic life everyday killed for human consumption. Two-hundred
million land animals and three-billion aquatic creatures being killed for human consumption of
7.6 billion people. This amounts to seventy-two billion land animals, and 1.2 trillion
aquatic animals for food, every… every year. In the last fifty years, hmm, I’m sorry. In the last fifty years, the
meat consumption in the world has gone up six-fold. One reason for
this is the weakening of the soil and vegetable matter not having substantial
strength in it; substantial nourishment in it. This is one reason why meat consumption have
gone up. And another reason is meat industry is aggressively pushing their products. And
another reason is, unfortunately, whatever is done in the West, particularly in America,
everybody thinks that is the right thing to do. Now, every doctor in the world is telling
you, but… that red meat could be the cause of various ailments. Whether it is cardiac problems,
whether it is cancer or various other issues are because of consumption of red
meat, it has to be brought down. But in India, many doctors are saying, “You
must eat meat. Otherwise there's not enough nourishment.” They're not very wrong beca…
Unfortunately they're not very wrong, because it is said that in the last twenty-five years, the
vegetables that you buy in the market in India, their nourishment value has
come down by forty percent. This is the first generation where we have a clear picture of the value of nature and
the grave situation we are facing. Maybe we are the last generation who can do
something significant about it right now. I hope that significant action happens. I've
been meeting important people in America, who could, Ah, who have the necessary
technologies, and also access to fund, so that significant things can
be done in tropical lands because fixing the tropical lands is the quickest way to turn the climate change effects, reverse
the climate change effects upon the planet. Just the Cauvery Calling project by
all estimates shows that if we plant these 242 crore or 2.42 billion trees in the
Cauvery basin of 83,000 square kilometers, it would sequester anywhere between
nine to twelve trillion liters of water and eight to twelve percent of
the carbon sequestering that we as a nation and India has promised the world
in Paris accord, whatever we have promised, eight to twelve percent of that could be fulfilled
just by this one project. You know why (Laughs) I'm pushing it like I'm possessed with Cauvery.
Yes, I am! If you are not, you will be sorry. And your children, the next generation of people
will look back at us with resentment, not with pride, not with respect, not
with regard, but with resentment. Well, out of the fifty-one million square
kilometers of land used for agriculture, forty million (Laughs), forty million square
kilometers, that is seventy-seven percent of the agricultural land is used to raise Ah,
meat-giving animals and their food. Yes, seventy-seven percent of the agricultural
land is used to raise cattle and their feed. If only if you reduce this two-hundred (million?)
animals killed for food daily to hundred million, that is, if you reduce your meat diet by fifty percent – I'm not even asking you to
give it up, if you reduce it by fifty percent – twenty million square kilometers of land
would be available to do tree-based agriculture. One important thing that every one of you must
strive to do right now is at least thirty percent of your diet should come from trees, please
everybody commit yourself to this, because this is the saving grace for future that thirty
percent of our diet is coming from trees, not for mono-cul… not from monoculture
of three-month, four-month crop patterns. Average decline in the animal population,
that is the vertebrates on the planet, from 1970 to 2016 is seventy percent, seventy percentof the vertebrate population
is gone in a matter of less than fifty years. Well, the animals or the animal world is hiring professionals to curse humanity, to use swear
words at humanity. It seems it happened – Five African gray parrots in Lincolnshire
Wildlife Park in UK had to be separated after they kept encouraging each other to swear
at visitors with the choicest of words (Laughs). So, when they were kept together, each one of them
knew a few words but they learned from each other, and every time they use filthy swear
words, people laughed. Looking at this, they started using the swear words and
they also started laughing by themselves, and among the five of them, they
picked up substantial vocabulary, everybody were happy because it just
reflecting the society in which we are living that we swear at everything that sustains us. We damage everything that sustains us. We
damage everything that's a part of our life. And now in the weekend, children were to
come and visit the park, so they had to separate the parrots and put it away from display
because the words that they were teaching are… would be an unfortunate lesson for the
children. So, I think maybe the animal world hired these five parrots to tell us
who we are. It’s time we get the point. Being here, exploring spiritual America, going through various Native American
reservations and meeting people and feeling out sites and spaces where things
have happened in the past… wonderful things and painful things, glorious things and shameful things, all happened. One thing that stands out about the Native
American culture is their love for land. It is even inappropriate to
say, “Love for land” because it is not that they love the land. They are
the land (Laughs). Even you and me are land but most people don't get it till you bury them,
that we are land. We are just an outcrop of land, which can prance around a little bit
but still land. This is a piece of land. So this is a culture which lived consciously
that they are land. They lived as land and always willing to be one with land. Well,
that kind of sensitivity needs to come back. If Native American mysticism and spiritual
process doesn't come back in its full flow… full form as many people may not be able to relate
to it but this dimension of their spirituality is very relevant for today and tomorrow; for
this generation and the next that people live understanding, knowing, being conscious that “We
are just land!” Only if land is good, we are good. Only if this soil is good, we are
good. When we say, “Mysticism,” mysticism is not some philosophy
or a belief system or an ideology. Mysticism, is an outcome or a consequence
of the natural longing within a human being to know, experience and explore dimensions,
which are beyond limits for us right now. What are our limits? Our limits
are our senses. What we can see, what we can hear, what we can smell and taste
and touch. These are our limits. The boundaries of your expo… experience, the boundaries
of your knowing are just your sense organs. So the longing to know beyond this, is a natural intrinsic dimension within
human intelligence. Human intelligence, if it is not contained by dogma, if
it is not crippled by belief systems, if it is not stymied by absolutism, ‘This is
it! That is it. God said this. God said that.’ If you don't cripple your intelligence, it is
natural for human intelligence to long, to know something more than what it knows right now.
The consequence of this longing is mysticism. So, I'm saying this because I'm getting a lot of
questions people asking Sadhguru, “How do you find Native American mysticism different
from the Indian mysticism?” Well, culturally, we may be different but
when it comes to mystici…. mysticism, there is no such thing as, ‘Indian mysticism,’ ‘African
mysticism,’ ‘American mysticism,’ – there is no such thing because mysticism is just exploration
of the reality of existence, which is right now beyond physicality because of which
your senses are not able to perceive. Physical nature itself is a vast process. Modern science has made significant
strides in exploring physical spaces but though it is exciting and intriguing, they
also know this is quite a hopeless effort because now we are talking about millions
and trillions of light years, when are we going to explore the whole cosmos? So the physical space as exciting as
it may be, is in terms of exploration, it is a endless exploration. It may keep generations and generations
of people busy or traveling or hurtling through empty space we may get bored and we
may give up that exploration after some time. Because from one star to another star,
from one galaxy to another galaxy, your interest and your excitement
may not stay and it will not stay. So mysticism is not looking
at exploring physical spaces, it is about exploring dimensions beyond the
physical nature. That means fundamentally, using some method, doesn't matter what;
some method to transcend the limitations of sense perception, so that we can touch and
experience dimensions beyond the physical. The mystics of this world, right from ancient
times, have been of various kinds. One will not resemble the other (Laughs) because
everybody does it in their own way, everybody finds a little passage of their own. But there is a whole science, the yogic
sciences, are about this, that you can work systematically to transcend. It need
not necessarily be a chance happening. So Native American mysticism is of a certain sort. We will bring many aspects of their
pursuits and their experiences. But one thing we need to understand – being…
today, almost everybody having been to school, they naturally have misunderstood
memory as intelligence because whoever could remember every word
in the textbook looked smart in a classroom. Well, we must understand this
is not accumulative knowledge. Cumulative knowledge is not going to help.
Knowing and knowledge are two different things. Knowing is like dayl… daylight, just beginning
to happen here, sunrise (Laughs)… is just there. Knowledge is accumulative or an accumulated
dimension that you have to carry. It is a sack on your head and it's heavy (Laughs). So, it is important to understand – mysticism
is not a philosophy, not an ideology, not a belief system, not of this land or
that land. It is an intrinsic longing in human intelligence because human intelligence has
reached a certain… certain level of evolution. You cannot keep it satisfied
with what you already know. You cannot keep it satisfied with absolutism
of religion or textbook level of science. So, we will take you through this to whatever
extent ah been… we have not being able to process many things because (Laughs) we are riding
from place to place and not been able to deliver the goods to you, in terms of the exciting
things that we see and experience. Ah, we'll do with the…. we'll do this as we go by. Be with
me, ride with me. If there are questions, please. Speaker: The first question is from Mr.
Shankar from (Overlapping conversation). Sadhguru: Louder, please. Hmm, please read. Speaker: The first question is from Mr. Shankar
from Thrichinapally. “Namaskaram Sadhguru…” Sadhguru: Thrichinapally. Speaker: “My wife is a wonderful woman, but she has such
a sharp tongue (Overlapping conversation).” Sadhguru: Oh, I'm glad! But she…. Okay there
is a ‘but,’ please tell me about the ‘but.’ Speaker: “But she has such a sharp tongue.” Sadhguru: Oow… Speaker: “Sometimes I'm afraid even to go home. Why are some women made like this? They
are wonderful on one level but quite terrifying on another level, please
throw some light” (Sadhguru laughs). Sadhguru: Light is coming
up. Well (Laughs) because… because generally… generally I'm saying, because
some women will argue about this. Generally, women have less muscular strength than a man. When situations go little
out of control, man (Laughs) wants to use his hands
because that's all he is got. So a woman, right from her young age, she sharpens
her tongue because she knows her muscles are not as big and strong as a man's muscles,
so her tongue is maybe way sharper than yours. You can’t wag it like it… like her.
Generally this could be true, for most people. So (Laughs), it's not just a sharp tongue; you know in India – you're from Thrichinapally
– I think Navaratri is close by. It's all about the Devi’s or the goddesses in India. Except a
few who are very civilized kind, rest of them, you’ve heard of them? Rakini, Dakini,
Lakini, Chinnamasta, Chandi, Kali, Bhairavi – you’ve heard of all of them. Whoo, these are terrifying women, usually
tongue hanging out, you've seen (Laughs), blood dripping sometimes from their
mouths because they'll bite off your head (Laughs). But we’ve made such
women worship-worthy in our country because of some other quality that they have; like
your wife, she's a wonderful woman, tch, tch, tch. Wonderful on one level but quite
terrifying on another level. So… so is by Bhairavi, so is Chandi, so is Cha… so
is Chamundi, so is Kali, so is Chinnamasta, tch… many, many, many of them. They are wonderful on
one level, quite terrifying on another level. So it is your skill to get the wonderfulness
of their… of their quality towards you and their terrifying quality goes
towards somebody else (Laughs). The wonderfulness should come for you.
That is a skill you have to learn tch. But the whole idea of why the goddesses are like
this is – for you to understand, if there is a wonderful quality, either in terms of talent
or intelligence or brilliance or some genius within a person – right now
we're talking about women. If there are such qualities in a woman
that she has certain streak of genius or she has extraordinary talents or
she's super wonderful in something, we don't want to surrender her intelligence, her
brilliance, her genius, her talent, her skills at the altar of good behavior.
Because you can train your puppy dog to behave well. If you want good behavior… that's
why everybody these days instead of getting married, they’re getting a dog, you know? Because
you can train your puppy for good behavior. So if good behavior is all you're looking
for, then that's what you should settle for. But if you're looking for other possibilities, not necessarily always but sometimes
it comes with not so good behavior. Maybe sometimes with certain amount of nastiness;
it depends what values you're looking for in your life. But I know… you are saying, Mr. Shankar….
Hey! What's your second name? Pillai (Laughs)? Now I’m…. hmm… now I'm getting ideas (Laughs). Well, if you're… if you're that
one, I'm sure you're skillful enough to handle this (these?) terrifying
situations. Well, but never surrender human intelligence, genius, brilliance, talent,
competence at the altar of good behavior. Good behavior can be learnt,
intelligence cannot be learnt. Genius cannot be learnt. You have
to unleash it, you cannot learn it. In the process of unleashing a significant possibility; in case,
not necessarily, don't take this as a… as an endorsement of your bad behavior – I'm not
saying that. If you want to have some bad behavior you should show some extraordinary talent
or brilliance or intelligence, otherwise you have no right to throw yourself around (Laughs).
Even then you have no right but never surrender significant aspects of human life in the form of intelligence, competence, brilliance, genius
at the altar of good behavior because good behavior can be learned and it's only socially
significant; it has no life significance as such. So, the wonderful wife that you have, ah if she’s like a rose plant – she has two
roses or one rose and one-hundred thorns, you just have to nourish her so that there are
also one-hundred roses for the one-hundred thorns. Well, the number of thorns for the size of the
plant it is, it stays constant but the number of flowers, can be enhanced. I think that's what
you should do with this wonderful wife of yours. I'm sure she's a wonderful woman but little
tongue lashing department is strong. Ah… tch, you must find some other victim for her and you
must get the wonderful part of her (Laughs). Please. Speaker: The second question
is from Priyanka Joshi. “Namaskaram Sadhguru, I wish to thank you for
your contribution towards making our life happy. It is great to listen to your videos. Kindly
enlighten me how to teach the kids the most important aspects of life-satisfaction,
so that the new generation will try to achieve internal happiness and not to
run towards an oasis” (Sadhguru laughs). Sadhguru: You think there is an oasis somewhere?
Oh, I think now… the camera should be taking in The Bear Lake much better, enough light.
Huh? So a fantastic lake out here – beautiful, large. I really don't know how large
it is. It looks like… somebody who comes from West Asia said, “It looks like Mediterranean Sea”
(Laughs)! Yes it does, it's quite large (Laughs). Well, there is no oasis outside. Even if there's an ocean,
people can still drown in it. There is no such thing as internal happiness. Happiness has always been internal, not only
happiness, even misery has been only internal. Joy has only been internal. Suffering
has been only internal. Though, you know poets and hoof… others went about saying, (Talks
aside: It’s okay, it's getting warmer). “Love is in the air.” No, no,
that is also always internal. Everything that you experience is internal. If you
ever thought or deceived yourself to think that there is an oasis of happiness
or love or joy somewhere, well, you will be deeply disappointed after some
time. Because many times it looks like that. Many times it looks like that, that there is
an oasis or an ocean of joy somewhere else. No, all human experience is generated from
within you. It's up to you what kind of experience you generate. Well, everybody
wants to guide the youth or the children, because you think children are the
problem (Laughs). No, they're just a miniature… miniature version of you. And if
they are looking like such a serious problem, I think you need to have a close look at yourself, because they're just a small,
you know, small prototype of you. So, if they are looking terrible,
you need a close look at yourself. Children are not the problem. If the adults
transform themselves, you don't have to worry about the children. “No, no, no, Sadhguru, my
children…” Oh, if your children are a problem, I'm just… as I just told you that is a miniature
problem. The larger problem is sitting here. So… and you said you're
listening to my videos also. (Laughs)You must listen some more because
I've said a lot about this aspect. If you are really interested in
making your children wonderful, if you're genuinely interested –
because I'm using this word genuinely, not to insult you, but to (Laughs) stress on
this, because most parents are only interested in their children being little
better than the neighbor’s children. “How much marks did you get?”
“How much money did you earn?” “What is your social status?” This
seems to be the concern of most parents. When it is so, naturally your children are looking
for a stupid oasis which doesn't exist somewhere. Because, it is you who has given them this idea that everything of value for a human
being is somewhere outside in the society, either in the money that you gather or wealth that
you gather or status or symbols that you gather. Feathers in your peak. So, you change
that. First you transform yourself, then you will see there is very little work to be
done with your children, very little, believe me. So without transforming yourself, you want
them transformed (Laughs). What is your idea of transformation? They must listen to you.
There is scientic… scientific evidence to show, if you are over thirty-five years of
age, your children whatever age they are, anywhere over twelve years of age, they are much
more intelligent than you. There is scientific evidence to show this. So why should they listen
to you, I'm asking. Or if you go with your own thing, you're talking about satisfaction, let me
upgrade that thing. Between you and your child who is more joyful in a given
day? If the answer is your child, then you tell me who should be a consultant
for life. Definitely not you, it's the child. So, this attitude that children are born
wrong and you are going to fix them… (Laughs) creator has made a mistake – no, it’s
your mistake, you should know that. And you are going to fix the mistake. No,
nothing like that. Life has come well; it is just your messing, which is the problem.
So whatever mess up you're done with yourself, if you fix that, there will be little…
very little to fix with your child. Maybe you have to do just teach them a few
survival skills to survive in this world and the rest of it, that life
will figure out in its own way. Or you said, throw some light, is it? No. Ah, that happiness is within. I want you to look at something very fundamental. Did you find a job or start a business
or decide to go after something in search of happiness, thinking
that it will get you happiness, or you found happiness within you and as an
expression of joy you went out and did this? Now you have a child means
you're married, I believe. So did you get married in pursuit of happiness or
in expression of your joy? Did you have children in pursuit of happiness or in expression
of your joy; you must look at these things. Don't make your children
listen to this video (Laughs). You should listen to it and get it, because this is very important that you understand
you, yourself have been looking for that oasis all your life. And now you want
your child to find inner satisfaction or inner fulfillment or joy. How will this happen?
You are definitely not qualified to do that. So, qualification is not in
some learning. Qualification is just this simple realization – human experience
can only happen from within, that’s all. Whatever it is, joy or misery,
can only happen from within. Fulfillment or disgruntlement, both can only
happen from within. If you know this one thing absolutely, do whatever you want. What's
my problem? You like frustration, enjoy it. You like to be disgruntled
enjoy it. What's my problem? But you must know it is caused by you, nobody else
but you. That's all. As long as you know this, then what you want to cause
to yourself is up to you. So the same thing the child should know, whether it's joy or misery, fulfillment or
frustration, both are caused from within. He should know it's his responsibility
to cause what he wants to himself. Well, this is an insurance for the rest of
the world also. One who is in some sense fulfilled within himself or herself or
one who is joyful by their own nature, have no issues with the world around. Because when your well being does not depend on
anything around you, then you will do what is needed. Sometimes what you needed may need gentle
handling. Sometimes it may need forceful handling. Sometimes it may need loving handling,
sometimes it may need tough handling. You will do what's needed. Only when you're
able to do just what is needed, will your – what is called as human intelligence,
which is a phenomenal process, is not just intellect of thoughts –
human intelligence will find expression. But if you are tied up in knots, “This will bring
happiness to me, this will bring unhappiness to me, this I enjoy, this I suffer.” Once
you're tied up in these boundaries and knots, your intelligence is frozen. It will
never melt (Laughs), it will never flow like water, it is frozen. Well, frozen
ice has its purposes; frozen ice is a… good for future. I mean to say when you go to
heaven, maybe your intelligence will unfold. But there they say everything is fantastic.
You don't need to be intelligent, God manages everything for you. So you won't need it
there also. And carrying a block of ice and carrying a block of anything as a head is a wasted life. So the moment you identify,
“What makes me happy, what makes me unhappy,” what you enjoy, what you don't enjoy
– the moment you identify this, you must understand your intelligence
is frozen within the boundaries of that. So if you want your child to be released
from that, you must set an example, not give lectures on how to find
inner satisfaction (Laughs). Suppose your child stands up and asks, “If you
were so fulfilled, why did you get married, why did you bear children,” what will you do? I hope
you don't have to face such ugliness in your life. So please, transform yourself. Don't
try to transform your children. If you transform yourself, you will see child
will be the first one to react in response to it, respond to it. Of course they'll
be very sarcastic in the beginning, because you know you have past karma, they
have seen you. But in terms of responding to any transformation, you will see a child or
even a youth will be the first one to do that, because it's… it is the nature of life, a fresh
life always has more response capabilities than a conceited life (Laughs) which has
formed ideas and opinions about everything. So age is just this, what is being young
and what is being old, if you ask me; it is all a question about how many
conclusions have you made about life. If you have lot of conclusions,
you will become ancient right now. If you have no conclusions about anything,
you're willing to look at everything fresh, then you will see you will be bubbly
and very childlike. So it's up to you that you want to be an adult boss who
molds this ‘born-into-enslavement’ life. I'm talking about your child.
Children are born as slaves, unfortunately, in this world still – I wouldn't say
that for every parent, but largely, because he is supposed to sit when you say,
because you yourself do not know yet. Most of the people still do not know what to eat, what not
to eat. But they know what the child should eat. How many wrong things have been fed to
them (Laughs), both in terms of food, ideas, belief systems. How much mess up has
been done from generation to generation, because you're trying to teach something that
you yourself do not know, don't do that, the best and the most wonderful thing that
you can do with your child is admit to them that even you do not know, you just made a
mistake of coming a few years early, that's it. Otherwise what the hell do you
have that the child doesn't have. At least he has fresh brains.
You have frozen one’s (Laughs). There are lots of fishermen out here, fresh
fish and frozen fish. Just like that. So, live brains and dead brains. Brains are dead
because more and more conclusions you make, the more and more you cripple yourself. The reason
why every human being is not naturally a mystic is simply because they have belief systems,
they have ideologies, they have philosophies, they have moral codes, they have ethical codes,
and they are also well behaved, tch (Laughs). So they've done all the wrong things with life. So
exploration has stopped. When exploration stops, life will not happen as an explosion, it happens
like a trickle, like surviving… survival existence but no exuberance of life. So your
child has some exuberance, don't kill it with your silly ideas and philosophies. Please see
if you can infuse that exuberance into yourself and if you are an exuberant life, you
don't have to do much with the child. They will grow up well and if you don't start… if you don't stop running after some mirage of
an oasis, it's just a mirage, there is no oasis that it looks like it's going to satisfy
everything. But when you get there, doesn't work. You must see the advertisements. If you look at the commercials on the planet,
you will understand what I'm saying. There was a… because you're using the
word satisfaction, there used to be one ad in India, when we were growing up, “Action
for satisfaction, Scissors, smoke the cigarette and you will be satisfied.” Well fortunately
that brand has gone out, I think (Laughs). Scissors, it will cut your lungs from
inside, that's what they were saying. You didn't get it. Generations of people smoked
it. Ah, here somebody is advertising, “You buy this car. That's it. Your life is fulfilled,
you will be joyful for the rest of your life.” Well you can… I'm not even… I'm not encouraging
you to smoke but you can smoke a cigarette, you can buy a car. But smokers don't look joyful,
nor drivers look joyful. Just watch on the street, all those people who are driving their dream
cars, are they bursting with joy? They're not. So, the oasis only is a mirage. If you don't see
that, don't expect your child to see that. You have to show it to him by
example, not by your teaching. Namaskaram, this week, because both in United
States and in India, they're expecting a surge of the virus, ensure that you are not… you
don't catch it. Ensure that you are not one of the superheroes who are super-spreaders.
Please be a responsible sensible human being. Stay alive. That's the biggest responsibility
right now. You and me should stay alive and ensure everybody around us stay alive.
Just make that happen for yourself because we're in such times that this will be the
best thing you did, that you stayed alive and you made sure everybody around you is alive.
That's the best thing you can do right now. Ah, fantastic view of the Bear Lake
for you. So today, we are moving to… today or tomorrow probably we
are moving to Salt Lake City, for certain important conversations.
See you next week, namaskaram. Sadhguru: One thing that we can know from
birds, if we listen to them carefully, we would know the metrological conditions.
By raising your udana prana, your ability to utter sounds in a way it is most impactful.
There is a long tradition of initiating people with the sound. That sound gets imprinted in
you and you hear the Guru's voice continuously.
