you should desire when you're on the field isn't it now you can decide the cup but once you're on the field you just desire the goal and go and go nothing else once your desire is strong your body and mind naturally lives in the direction isn't it whatever you desire that's where you go if your desire falls off then you can't keep the mind on it you just have to develop the icha in you the only itcher is to score the cop then you don't have to worry about mental focus that's where the mind will be can somebody take your mind off what you desire can somebody take your mind off what you desire what you desire is where your mind will naturally go isn't it need motivation watch a top ten belief Nation hey it's Evan Carmichael and I make these videos because in my first business I quit on my business partner I was making 300 bucks a month and I didn't have the motivation to keep going and the thing that got me through was studying the stories of entrepreneurs who've had massive success and I hope that in sharing these stories with you you find a motivation to keep going and if I'm being honest I still need the stories for myself today too so today let's learn from one of sad Guru and my take on his top 10 rules of success enjoy so how does yoga help in this see what are the simple parameters with which the body and mind is functioning this is a complex machine this is the marketing machine in this planet is human body and mind isn't it everything that we have created has come out of this mind so this mind is a complex missionary very complex no no no no no no no no no so if you do anything wrong it will create many distractions within itself there are some simple ways there is some simple technology with which you can keep your mind in a certain condition of clarity where it's in disease that you learn to keep your mind like a mirror it simply shows you what is there it doesn't distort the moment your mind gets identified with many things now you are playing as an Indian hockey player now you get all this started because now you're reading the whole history the glory of Indian hockey the depths of Indian hockey everything will flow in your mind now you will not play the game you will not see the game the way it is first of all learning to keep the mind like a mirror where it simply shows you what is there in front of you without any distortion once there is no Distortion you will walk to the best of your ability isn't it now you're walking on this floor there is no Distortion in Your Vision you can see everything clearly to the best of your ability you will go isn't it in your very Vision if there is distortion you will unnecessarily stumble all over the place so whatever talent you have whatever capability you have if it has to find full expression your mind doesn't come in between and distort anything it just shows you everything the way it is so the whole yogic system is focused on this for a spiritual purpose which can also be used for the sport that it shows you everything just the way it is not some other way not the way you think it is number two stay motivated this is another concept which is made it around in the world that something else should motivate you to do what you're doing foreign [Music] enough you don't need any other thing to motivate you what you're doing is truly significant to life why do you need another motivation to make that happen if if you really understand and experience that what you are doing is truly important for every life around you you don't need a motivation life just goes on see does your heartbeat need a motivation to keep it going I'm asking you all the life processes is not asking for any motivation isn't it monsoon's coming any motivation no it's coming year after year because the natural process is going on simply like that and you and me life is on what I'm telling you is if you're doing something which is aligned with the fundamental life process of Who You Are this can find a million Expressions it need not be just spiritual teaching it can find a million Expressions that what you're doing is aligned with your fundamental life process then you will not need anything to motivate you simply as a part of life it will just happen how much you do simply depends on how much time you invested on upgrading yourself the problem with the world right now is people are always trying to upgrade their activity if you upgrade your activity without upgrading yourself you are bound to break up somewhere it's like you went on a Formula One Track because you want to be on a fast track and you went with your maruti 800 suppose you hit the right kind of speed all the four wheels will go in four different directions it won't hold up if you want to be in that kind of speed and that kind of track you must repair the machine upgradation of this one is important if you upgrade yourself activity will simply happen uh many people around me you know many times think I am superhuman because of the activity that I perform this is not about being superhuman if you explore the possibilities of Being Human if you explore the possibilities of the immensity of Being Human you will realize you don't have to be a superhuman Being Human itself is super so you will not need any external drive or some other inspiration the very process of life will do it rule number three build your trust if you're stupid you can do whatever you want you need to understand trust does not mean somebody has to behave the way you expect them to behave trust means whatever they do it's all right with you if you come to such a state otherwise don't use such a big word as Trust trust means they must do what you expect them to do this is a certain imprisonment you trust trust should Empower people trust should not limit people isn't it so your idea of trust is to hold them in the way you want them to be so you trust betrayal this that works don't get into all this nonsense just use your sense see this is the biggest mistake they have made they always told you to be good once you are good you have all these expectations from everybody else see first of all they told you God is good God is compassion God is love God is so many things live what other people have told you let's say you know nothing of this nonsense from anybody you paid attention to Creation you looked at a flower carefully one thing you can see is whatever created this is of tremendous intelligence isn't it yes or no not necessarily something as pleasant as a flower you pay an attention to an ant that's crawling around the way it's made incredible intelligence or no yes or no but nobody told you God is intelligence if they had told you God is intelligence we would have had a more sensible world so don't don't get into all this trust business handle your life and relationship sensibly because these things will create expectations which no human being can fulfill and simply struggles will happen endless struggles will happen trust means I trust somebody means whatever they're doing I trust them no I trust them means they must do only what I expect them to do this is not trust this is a soft imprisonment you know in it's still not come to India maybe but everywhere else they got they got callers for the dog electronic callers no more chains the dog will be right there it'll never leave the boundary because if it crosses that boundary there will be a shock okay and in America it's become very common it runs around only in your garden it won't run anywhere no offense no chain but the dog cannot run out because if it steps out why why are you making faces it's called lakshman Rekha in India if you cross that there will be trouble so that's what she's talking about in the name of trust if you cross it there will be trouble don't don't get into this dog tag kind of trust if you really trust somebody whatever they do they may be doing it in their own understanding of life everybody is working according to his intelligence and his understanding isn't it yes right now probably that's all they're capable of if you can evolve them to another place fantastic if you cannot then you must see what to do but do not bring in such words of trust trust should not become a way of capturing people trust should be a way of liberating people rule number four wake up before the sun the greatest predicament that a human being faces and the greatest tragedy that human beings are going through and the greatest struggle that all humans seem to be toiling with is just this their sensory perception gives one-sided perception if you see this you can't see this if you see light you can't see Darkness if you hear sound you can't hear silence so life becomes a heap of opposites or contradictions trying to wear their way through these contradictions how much suffering unbelievable how much confusion how much struggle if this nearly 8 billion people if you document what kind of suffering they are going through in one year or in one day just one day it's enough for eternity all this is simply because they have misunderstood instruments of survival or as instruments of knowing you must know which is light and which is Darkness if you want to walk through this you must know which is man which is woman if you have to operate in the world so these differences are very one-sided well in many ways I've said this now it's become a bit uh too common for everybody to know this because I've been speaking about this for some time while you are sitting here with a man or a woman but you came here because a man and woman came together your mother and father exists within you you being a woman or a man is just a surface thing but you've taken it so seriously and you go through a whole lot of circus just being a man or a woman how much circus in the world forget about light and darkness that's more complicated it's the simplest damn thing but how much struggle how how much Social confusion how many how many religions and scriptures have been written about this misunderstanding endlessly it's just that because between light and darkness you think they are two different worlds because it looks like that the day looks like one kind of world this planet looks different during the day during the night it's a completely different world but it is not it's the same world I think you get that point during Twilight to some extent this is why it's always important to wake up before the sun comes up because you don't have to do anything if you're just alert and looking slowly the perception will go into you this is why I always in yoga Brahma mortam you should be up because Twilight starts then in Twilight if you're awake you perceive that the differences that you have made out in your mind because of misperceptions of senses that you have settles within you when that happens when also to make sure you're actually taking action

business I'll see you there rule number five take proper action Karma means action there are four types of action physical mental emotional and energy of all these things the energy action is the most important one and the most enduring one and the most liberating one if you do it the right way if you do it the wrong way the energy action which is improper can have far more impact upon one's life than the improper physical actions improper mental actions improper emotional actions so what do I mean by improper energy actions one thing is unfortunately I had to witness a few things which I did not wish to witness certain people trying to misuse a little flexibility in energy that came with certain practice of yoga or a certain initiation especially there are some over smart people that when you initiate them when it's fresh when they're bursting with energy they want to use it for something else they want to channelize it to impress their neighbors or to make some money out of it or in some way use it what was offered to them for their well-being they try to do something else that can happen or example would be see there are there are many ways you can perform negative action one thing is let's say you sat here and thought that somebody that you don't like Must Die or you even taught how to kill them it has a certain level of impact on you on another level you had a thought but not just a thought the strong emotion now it has a much deeper impact upon you you acted upon this thought and emotion and you actually performed the action then it has a much deeper impact on you now you understand that if you perform these actions there may be consequences so you found another way you found somebody who will do certain type of energy action through which the person that you don't like will die there is an entire science like this one Veda among the four Vedas is dedicated to this this is called where it's about learning to use energies towards your benefit and other people's detriment you've heard of words like black magic wudu and Billy sunyam and whatever else you call it where people have learned to use energies to cause harm to someone else once you energetically try to influence somebody for some benefit of your own now this will be the worst Karma because the impact of this goes very deep into you because you're employing your energies to do this this is the reason why even to initiate you into a simple process like sambhavi I am asking you to take the step of being a mother to the world so that you never misuse this you see everybody as yours because enhancement of Energies to come with a profound sense of responsibility enhancement of energies has to happen with deeper dimension of inclusiveness without inclusiveness if you use energy this will be the worst karma karma so those of you who find some dramatic changes happening in your life because of initiations you must take care you must take at most care that you never try to use this ability to transform to do something else of course some of you think you will do a great thing by healing Somebody by intervening in somebody's life in some other way no you this will be the worst type of karma you perform because once you try to use your Energies and still you are capable of anger you are capable of drawing boundaries of what is you and what is not you what is yours and what is not yours when these things are still there you should never ever try to do anything energetically because this will be the most impactful Karma that you will do this is the reason why even the basic practice of shambhavi to initiate you you must become a mother to the world and this is also a fantastic way to beat your karma if every moment of your life if you live with an inclusive emotion of being a mother to the world not discriminating between what what is yours and what is not yours right now you cannot help discriminating what is you and what is not you but at least what is yours and what is not yours if you take it away you have solved the karmic puzzle 90 percent believe me 90 percent of all dimensions of karma you have solved that puzzle remaining 10 percent I am that rule number six don't demand respect respect is not something that you ever demand in your life please don't ever do such a vulgarity that you demand respect you can only earn it you cannot demand it the moment you demand it it becomes well God you should know so you stand One Step higher than somebody and you demand respect or the only stupid thing that you did is you came here a few years earlier than someone else and your demand that I'm senior it must be happening in the college also one year senior time you better respect me yeah just one year ahead I joined the college and now I am Senior okay so this is an unfortunate reality that's well established in the world that in the name of religion in the name of authority in the name of Parenthood in many different ways we have been trying to establish Authority is the truth No Authority is not the truth truth is the only Authority this is why Youth and Truth truth is the only Authority nothing else is the authority so if I ask a question somebody freaks see if you ask a question somebody freaks because they don't know the answer suppose you go sit in an examination and look at the question paper you don't know a damn thing don't you freak just like that they're freaking why don't you understand [Music] so you question paper you have no clue do you freak or no so they are also freaking so you must understand and be little compassionate when you ask a question somebody freaks means obviously they don't have an answer so you must be compassionate considerate because they're your seniors they came ahead of here ahead of you but they are no better than you so they're freaking a bit please make way for them what to do they grow a little bigger than you but at the same time there is no need for anybody to succumb to that it's all right there is no need to confront people a question first of all say a question is a tool a question is a tool to dig a Little Deeper isn't it hello but somebody's asking a question to prove a point that's not good so don't ask a question to your parents or to somebody else just to prove your point now ask a question because it's a genuine question so people were asking me what kind of questions can we ask what can we not ask I said even the dumbest question you have if it means something to you it means something to me if it doesn't mean anything to you don't ask such stupid things because it doesn't mean a damn thing to me either but if it means something to you maybe it's a stupid question somebody thinks it's a stupid question but it means something to your life it means a lot to me so please make sure your questions are genuine whether you ask a parent or a political leader or a spiritual leader it doesn't matter who the hell you ask a question when you ask a question you must understand the purpose of asking a question is to expand yourself from what you know to enter a territory where you do not know something that's the idea of asking a question but you ask a question to prove them stupid then maybe they're getting mad you're entering their territory now but you have to make sure in your life because your life is not just about your life how you conduct your life will determine the nature of this world isn't it so when you have such a responsibility you have to ensure that truth is the only Authority Authority is not the truth it doesn't matter whether it's parents or teachers or spiritual teachers political leaders or God himself came down and he said something stupid you must be able to question him that is the nature of this culture see even when those entities which we considered Divine came in India all we did is ask questions endless questions when Shiva came his wife Parvati freaks him with a million questions when Krishna came Arjuna asked thousand questions questions and questions and questions I must tell you this we were trekking in Tibet a group of people almost from 42 different countries so an Indian man who settled in United States was uh wanted to ask a question I said you can ask questions immediately raised his hand and he stood up he asked a question which lasted over eight minutes and it was going on I said see this is too long a question then I told others because they were all looking like this because they are from different nations they can't understand this question I said see this is a very Indian question another question inside a question inside a question inside a question inside a question Indians are experts in this because they have 15 000 years of culture they've crafted questions like this why it doesn't matter Shiva comes Krishna comes they want to bowl a googly to him that's the whole intent so I said this is an Indian question and I try to explain to them what is an Indian mind and why it asks such questions so much of culture then one Chinese lady she said Guru I was working at the United Nations even there only Indians ask questions we never ask questions only the Indians were asking questions all the time I said that is India rule number seven be a creator you don't have to be on the go all the time if life demands people ask me how are you active like this because generally my schedule is anywhere between 18 to 20 hours a day seven days of the week 365 days non-stop for many years it's going on I'm complaining and the guy's clapping about it [Laughter] so people keep asking how do you keep yourself like this how do you do this see I'm essentially lazy it's just that the situation in the world demands action left to myself I would close my eyes and simply say it I am made like this if I close my eyes I can sit like this till I fall dead really I have really no need for Action I'm not trying to keep myself busy there's a lot to be done so you're doing people ask me sadhguru what's your dream what is your dream I said my dream is the day I am unemployed that's a great day because if I am unemployed it simply means everybody is doing fantastic what more do you want dream fulfilled so action is not something that you decide you just decide your intent action the world will decide how much of what I am you know at these economic forums and stuff I'm a world economic forum this guy in front of Business Schools in Harvard Business School one Professor comes oh you're that amazing tree planter I said no I'm not a tree planter he said no no you planted those Millions yes I did but I'm not a tree planter then what do you do I said uh I make people flowers not plant trees but I'm planting trees because the goddamn trees are missing where they should have been where they should have been they are not there it's like this two men were working on the street one man is digging pits behind him another man is coming and closing and closing and going somebody else was driving by they saw this ridiculous Activity one guy digs the pit another guy closes the pit so they stopped and said hey what are you doing here why are you guys working like this one guy digging another guy closing they said no no the in between guy has gone and leave he's the tree planter he's not there we're doing our work so a lot of people are doing work legs I'm doing my work you have no work on this planet the planet needs work if the world needs work we will do it otherwise why should I think this is my work so Guru what's your mission so no Mission I'm just fooling around a bit because you have no business to have your own mission life has its own mission in some way if you can assist and serve that that's about it what is it that you have your own mission are you some kind of a tyrant all missionaries are tyrants in some way unknowingly yes those who think they have a mission there is no Mission what is needed you do especially when you study in a business school and get certain competence to manage things or create things you must create what is needed not create some rubbish and push it on them yes yes or no you must see how to make life better how to solve situations which are problematic to a whole lot of people you must look for Solutions and solutions for the existing situations and of course there are experts who go on creating new problems so you will never be short of problems believe me you just have to create Solutions not go on a mission mode rule number eight overcome loneliness you must decide what is the highest value in your life freedom or bondage please I would like to hear that word but if you are free you feel lost if some if you go into the mountains and you're totally free that is nobody around nothing around your chest in the empty space of the mountains you don't feel free you think you're lost so to handle Freedom it needs a certain Clarity and strength most people cannot handle freedom they are always trying to bind my bind themselves but only talking mouthing Freedom all the time if you really set them free they will suffer immensely so this is uh evolutionary issue in the sense human beings are right now like this a caged bird if you keep a bird cage for a long period of time and then one day you took off the door of the cage still the bird won't fly from inside it will protest that it's not free but it will not fly Human Condition is just that for all other creatures nature is drawn Two Lines within which they have to live and die and that's what they do but only for human beings there's only bottom line there's no Top Line and that's what they're suffering if their life was also fixed like every other creature's life they wouldn't be stressed they wouldn't be anxious they wouldn't be struggling how to handle their own intelligence and that is what you're seeking unknowingly you may have seek it in the form of relationships you may seek it in the form of profession you may seek it in the form of form of nationality ethnicity community God heaven have all you are trying to do is draw an artificial line which does not exist because Freedom needs courage Freedom needs I said Madness laughs if you're very sin you cannot be free because you will go between the two lines of logic to be free it takes a lot of strength that if you first of all what needs to happen if you want to be free is [Applause] do you understand that all Human Experience has a chemical basis to it hello what you call as Joy is one kind of chemistry misery is another kind of chemistry stress is one kind of chemistry anxiety another kind of chemistry Agony one kind of chemistry ecstasy another kind of chemistry at least ecstasy you know it's another kind of chemistry I hear so your experience of life has a chemical basis to it there's a more superficial way of looking at it there are the dimensions to it but for your understanding or in other words what you call as myself right now you're a chemical soup the question is only are you a great soup or a lousy soup yes or no right now if you have a chemistry of blissfulness if you close your eyes it's fantastic if you open your eyes it's fantastic if somebody is here it's fantastic nobody's here it's very fantastic yes or no but you have a lousy chemistry if you look at them if they smile at you it's nice not fantastic if they look at you like this suddenly it's a problem if these people are happening just the way you want your chemistry is reasonably balanced if they do something that you don't like boom it goes somewhere else so essentially you have not looked at this mechanism what is the basis of this how it functions how I can make it function at its highest level right now let's say you really blissed out like me do you care who is around who is not around if they're around it's fantastic they're gone fantastic because your experience of life is no more determined by what you have and what you don't have whether it's people or things or food or this or that it is not determined by that once your way of being is not determined by anything outside of you then there is no such thing as loneliness but you will enjoy your aloneness because whether you like it or you don't like it at this young age it's a little uh difficult to understand this whether you like it or you don't like it within this body you're always alone isn't it whether you do interaction or intercourse or whatever whatever still you're alone in this body yes or no hello [Applause] if you don't learn how to handle this aloneness you have not learned anything about life this is the most beautiful thing the most beautiful thing about life is nobody can get here it's just my space yes or no isn't this the most beautiful thing nobody can invade me they can capture me they can torture me they can do so many things but they cannot invade me because I have a space which is just my own isn't this the most wonderful aspect of your life don't suffer that that is the most beautiful thing rule number nine live a life of joy we are thinking of Happiness like it's some kind of a commodity or some kind of an attainment no when your life comes to ease when you come to ease happiness is a natural consequence coming to ease what does it mean there are many ways to look at this well because uh I should not say look inward to already put a condition on me so is it true that today even medically we know every human experience has a chemical basis to it so what you call as peace is one kind of chemistry happiness is another kind of chemistry Joy is another kind of chemistry misery is another kind of chemistry Agony is one kind of chemistry ecstasy is another kind of chemistry every human experience has a chemical basis to it or in other words you are a very complex chemical soup the question is only are you a great soup or a lousy soup if you're a great soup you taste good not for somebody for yourself when you taste very good for yourself if you sit here if you feel extremely Pleasant within yourself because the soup is great then people say you are happy if you become very very pleasant people say you're joyful if you become super Pleasant people will say you're ecstatic so to make it very simple and understandable for most people your Chemistry needs to be altered there's a whole technology with which we can create the kind of chemistry that you want if I teach you how to create a blissful chemistry within yourself your very chemistry is blissful and you will be Blissful when you're Blissful you will no more be in Pursuit of Happiness that is the biggest mistake that we are in pursuit of happiness your life has to become an expression of joy when your life is an expression of your experience then what you do what you do not do will not determine the quality of your life how you are within yourself will determine the quality of your life I am sorry once again I use the word within but chemistry is not within it is still outside of you but if you know how to make the right soup then being joyful is not an issue it's a natural consequence of that so we can teach you a technology we can teach you a methodology with which you will know how to stir the right kind of soup within you this is what I am calling as in engineering that you engineer your Chemistry in such a way that it's Blissful by its own nature not because of something if you think you're going to squeeze happiness out of something or somebody you will be disappointed because nothing will yield anything unless you have a chemistry of blissfulness within you and Rule Number 10 the last one before some very special bonus Clips is liberate yourself Karma [Music] probably one of the most misunderstood words for sure it's become part of the English lexicon today but misunderstood and misinterpreted in a million different ways a range of things the very way the nature of karma is just like that its interpretations the karmic structure is a very complex mess but there is a there are very uh what to say very descriptive stories in the Indian culture about the type of jewelry the courtesans used to wear that is very famous courtesans were covered in gold and diamonds no clothes only jewelry covered their body such complex jewelry that when when the man who came to them they had no clue how to take off this jewelry because it was such a complex web of change try as hard as they did but they cannot get this Jewelry off jewelry is beautiful but for a man who is whose mind is running right with lust this is a barrier so usually uh she encourages him to drink and drink little more and little more so that he sleeps and gifts are more jewelry and goes home but when she wants to take it off there is just one pin normally located at where ourana is this one pin if she proof pulls the entire jewelry falls down in one's just like that it falls down Emma is like this it's a complex web of chains some of them of course decorated with diamonds some are ugly some are rusted chains but change and change and change but there is just one single pin [Music] only because you are not able to consciously find the PIN the fundamental reason let me tell you the fundamental reason why there is a culture or there is a tradition of depending upon a guru for one spiritual growth is just this that you want him to pull the plug when the time is right because in this complex web of change you don't know where the pin is right now if you try to find it you can go on a search Forever and not find it and if you find it just in case if you find it you will dismantle it in such a way that you will dismantle your very life to dismantle it skillfully that just what just the karmic aspect falls off and you exist as a liberated being that takes lots of skill it is for that skill that you come to your Guru it is your karma that you have to endure me if you had figured it out yourself you didn't have to bother about me so sadhguru when are you going to pull my plug that means it's not you're not ready yet if you have if you are in a state where you think your karma is a burden and you must get rid of it you are not yet ready for it if you come to a state where you have learned how to transform every memory conscious and unconscious Pleasant and unpleasant beautiful and horrendous ones everything into well-being if you come to that state then it will be good for me to pull the pins now if you pull the pin because this is not Liberation this is an escape there is difference between walking out of this body and committing suicide they're two different things all together committing suicide means you want to escape a difficult situation walking out of this means your term is over your time is up so they've released you these are two different things completely if you escaped from the prison you will have to run for the rest of your life but if you're freed from the prison because your term is up then you're a free man that's a big difference if you are very clear that what you're doing is significant for every life around you other people's opinion means nothing but but I'm saying for 30 years plus they've been saying the same things they're not even creative they're not able to come up with anything new all right same things they are saying but they've not gotten anywhere because they have no substance there's no substance with anything that they have said so it's unfortunate that they're in that state but what I see is every daily Mystic court is there you know daily quote all these people are just waiting one thing that they don't understand suddenly all of them will get together and make it make their Twitter trend I'm so glad because every day they're reading my course even people who are here are not reading they're reading okay I am saying every day carefully they're reading my code the day they don't understand they think I've made a mistake and boom they'll go I'm glad I worked in prisons both in India and United States I worked with hardcore criminals welcome for murder rape worst possible things that a man can do for those things they have come and I've seen significant transformation with uh in their lives simply because of two days or five days of contact with me these guys are continuously following me I am very confident one day they will be very transformed I wish them the best human attention has shifted to many things that we could do that we are not able to do right now but one large area which has been left unexplored is the human being itself whatever kind of Technologies we develop whatever kind of machines we build essentially we can only think of doing something which is an extension of our existing faculties see if you were made like a tree that is rooted to one place would you have thought of a bicycle hello only because you already have Mobility you thought about enhanced Mobility that evolved into many things only because we can speak we came up with a microphone and a telephone if we had no such thing as speech would we have thought of a microphone on a telephone because we can see we have microscopes and telescopes every machine and every Gadget we create is only enhancement of existing human faculty we can say this far but we want to see that form we can speak this for now we want to speak that far we can hear this for now we want to hear from somewhere else everything there is no other way for a human brain or human intelligence to function we will only think of how to enhance this the purpose of enhancement is essentially a longing to enhance the quality the content and the profoundness of our life you don't have to eliminate the waste waste is very valuable if you know right now in this Garden they buy wasted a very and you know a very exorbitant price because their waste goes into the public system they have to buy waste from somewhere they have to buy filth to fertilize yes yeah so whether you turn your filth into a fertilizer or you smear it on your face and walk around that's your choice this is why Karma so what kind of karma happened in my life till this moment is not always my choice so many things have happened but what kind of karma I perform right now in this moment is 100 my choice will I use this filth as manual and Blossom into your wonderful fragrance or will I smear it around me and walk around with filth this is the choice everybody has when unpleasant things happen to us which happens to everybody in some way if you're living in the world I'm saying unless you drop from somewhere else right if you're living in this world so many unpleasant things happen now with these unpleasant things do you become wise or do you become wounded this is a choice to exercise this Choice there must be a little space when I say a little space where is your memory stored people think here your brain has very little memory okay every cell in the body carries a trillion times more memory than your entire brain every cell in the body every cell in the body because if I take one cell from you we can you know create you completely in a lab that means what well your parents your father and mother gave you only one sell each they were not very generous only one cell each see a whole man came out of it yeah so in that one cell all this memory head to toe everything was there isn't it yeah no mistake texture of the hair texture of the skin the nails the works every detail to the minutest detail was it packed in that one cell or no yeah yes so every cell in your body carries a trillion times more memory than your entire brain carries wow so if you do not use that if you just use one part of your body then everything seems to be stressful everything seems to be a struggle today everybody complaining about everything everything is stressful you are a toddler you have stress of diapers you are a teenager you have hormonal stress your middle age you have crisis your old age geriatric stress right all right which is not stressful entire life is stress tell them okay you die oh that is enormous stress so this is not because there is something wrong with anybody's life it's simply because it's like you have a car it's supposed to go on four wheels try to drive on one okay one may look like too much try to drive one two well within 10 miles your tires will burst because too much stress on one point other things are not being used this is all that's happening to human beings in the yoga culture first eight years or actually eight and a half years is considered childhood so these are not counted though balawasta is up to 12. it's the eight and a half years where you're a real child you know it from your own experience after you're eight and a half only your parents thought you were a child but you were secretly many things yes adults think that you are a child but you know you are not one because your childhood in many ways ends at eight and a half so if you take two side solar Cycles which is uh 24 years or little less than that and add eight and a half years to it it will become 32 and 3 4 or something like this 32 years in seven months or somewhere there exact calculations we can make but it's nearly 33 years so when these two cycles end the balavastha living that when it ends it is a possibility this is a time when your life could take on a different level of propulsion if you have prepared yourself well either with education or some skill or yoga or inner dimensions of your life if you have prepared yourself on any of these things that is the time when it can Propel or that is the time when it can start crashing you know in the western societies they talk about mid-life crisis it usually starts around 33 34 years of age suddenly people don't know what to do with themselves life getting meaningless or those who are successful they find traction and suddenly they explode into different levels of success or well-being all this can happen because within the system it has completed a certain cycle either it can take off or it can crash you can simplicit if you learn to Simply sit you will become tremendously intense right now your energy simply expanded by doing unnecessary endless activity when you have so much mental diarrhea how can you have energy suppose you have diarrhea do you see how weak you feel so no right now this mental diarrhea that's why people have no energy they want to just eat and sleep all the time because mental diarrhea it's very exhausting foreign if you have physical diarrhea you know how exhausting it is yes this is also equally exhausting people are sleeping eight hours ten hours a day not because they're working so much or their body is in such a bad state just mental diarrhea if you stop the mental diarrhea there's enough energy to make this very very intense now how do I stop mental area if you have diarrhea physical diarrhea what is the first thing to do huh what yes run to the toilet I know that I'm saying as a as a corrective measure what is the first thing you do foreign [Music] but diarrhea means in some way we've eaten something that the body doesn't want it's trying to throw it out yes you've taken something inside which the body doesn't like it wants to throw it out first thing is stay away from food for some time you eat bad food and then try to stop diarrhea it's not going to work so similarly bad food for the mind is just this you have gotten identified with things that you are not the moment you get identified with things that you are not mental diarrhea is inevitable it's bad food for the mind now it will run endlessly do what you want you do any damn meditation you say Shiva Rama it's not going to stop it's not stopped isn't it because bad food is being eaten every day you're getting identified with more and more things and you want to stop your mind you do whatever kind of circus it is not going to stop if you disidentify with everything if you understand what is you and what is not you if you keep a little distance from that mind will become still if you want you can use it otherwise you can keep it now my hand is there if I want I can move it otherwise I can keep it this is a useful hand suppose it starts jumping like this you clearly know there is some kind of an ailment isn't it yes or no so if hand is jumping you know it's an ailment if mind is jumping is it an ailment or no oh the element has come because continuous wrong diet you tell your mind that I am this I am this I am that I am that it's having diarrhea you stop giving it wrong food if you clearly see what even if you do not know what is me at least you know what is not me isn't it this much you do tonight before you go to bed sit on your bed and sit down and discount everything that is not you this house in Europe in which you're living is this me no this loving parent or mother father wife or husband or child they're wonderful buddy is this me no no these nice clothes I'm wearing is this me no now my body I like it but is this me no now I am having so many thoughts is this me no now I'm having wonderful emotions is this me no like this everything that's not you before you sleep keep it down and go to bed tomorrow morning you will wake up considerably more intense than today this happened in your school maybe later in your University later in your work it's happening to people maybe not everyone but a whole lot of people their commitment to success is weak they want to succeed they will take three steps then something little interesting happens here they will go away here they'll go over there they'll go with it hey I want to live their commitment to success is weak uh either situations around them in some way you know situations can impede you from doing what you're doing very easily many times it happens to everyone but when this happens people weaken their commitment for their success maybe physically they'll feel a little weak they will weaken their commitment to success maybe their emotions loss around a little bit they will weaken their commitment to success this is very important right now however long it takes this virus you must come out of this successfully that means you will stay alive that's an important part [Music] and commitment to staying alive should not be slackened no matter what happened somebody very dear to us passed away all the more important we must live [Music] people around us are all sick all the more important we are healthy to take care of the people around us so our commitment to success should not weaken because there is social drama going on or physiological drama or psychological drama whatever happens your commitment to success should not weaken that is what get you across so many lines in our life so many barriers in our life foreign [Applause] look like what does it take [Music] you must understand those who made any significant achievements in their life ah they did not [Music] you know I don't want to take any personal examples of anybody I'm trying to avoid obvious things that are coming to my mind [Music] well uh you know I know family and friends who always have their breakfast on time and after breakfast of course they must have coffee after coffee of course they must light up a cigarette and sit there nicely because they're trying to become peaceful [Music] and then they will go to work come back home exactly on time for lunch eat lunch rest for one or two hours sleep then evening have one tea and then smoke and then again go to work and eight eight o'clock 8 30 they're back home for dinner and then maybe other things drink and this and that and whatever thank you well that's their priority it's fine I'm not complaining it should not be that way but those who have been very successful either in music sport art business spiritual process doesn't matter what those people never know when they hate when they slept when they got afternoon rest I have not seen such a thing in my life yeah so uh those who are committed to being successful with whatever they are doing one important aspect of their life is they are not settling down wherever it's a bit comfortable because Comfort will happen when they lower you to in the grave very comfortable you are you know let one human being honestly say when you are with your most loving parents however doting and wonderful they were to you that you never felt this is not where you want to be that is a dishonest human being because love gets tedious somebody's fondness gets very tedious Comfort gets tedious because the nature of life is it wants to constantly expand if there is no room for expansion it doesn't matter you are kept in a uh whatever I won't use because everybody uses the word Golden Palace I think Golden Palace is totally anesthetic in my uh my visual perception I hate Golden Palace but whatever is the most wonderful Palace or as you say Shangri-La whatever you will it'll get tedious all the heaven-bound people they don't know how bored they will be within three days in that place of goodness so I am saying it doesn't matter it's not because there's something wrong with your parents they may be most wonderful people but the very nature of a human being is such only if you are a pet animal if you have reduced yourself to that you're just happy with the means that you're getting and somebody is fondling you once in a way and you're happy with that for that you must be a pet animal you should not be born as a human being once you're born as a human being it is natural wanting to break barriers so when you're young as a child or a teenager you think barriers means they're all physical before you understand the barriers are not really physical whether you build your own house or you live in your parents house or you live in a slave master's house the house and walls are not the barrier it is all within us before you realize that or how soon you realize that will lead to either transformation or frustration don't utter the word freedom because freedom is a consequence it's something that you have to earn it doesn't come as a philosophy in 60s we thought it's a philosophy if you live responsibly you will see Freedom will come when I say responsibly not in the sense of civic responsibility if you retain your ability to respond to life without any prejudice without any restriction you will see you will become free your ability to respond if it is unlimited it is freedom the notion of the difference between pain and suffering I thought was very useful it's a pain is physiological it's there if there's no pain most people would not even know how to protect themselves see just because there's no pain in the see what all you have done to it isn't it see there's no pain in this so that's why you took it off if there's no pain in your nose maybe you would have taken it off right because the many advantages you will take in about 22 extra oxygen if you just remove this one thing contraption [Laughter] wherever there is no pain people are messing with it like crazy isn't it they call this hairstyle they call it so many things yeah Suppose there was no pain in the entire body in Los Angeles people would pull out their stomach bag and you think they wouldn't do it no that's probably what only pain is helping them to preserve themselves isn't it so pain is good there's no physiological pain most people would not know I hear in United States there's one group they call themselves something I forget that word they're actually cutting their fingers off their hands off on the video wow they're posting it online there's a group like that wow can you imagine this no in spite of so much pain if there was no pain almost everybody would have cut themselves off into in the name of fashion they would have cut themselves into ribbons wow so pain is a good thing physically because that is your preservation self-preservation mechanism but suffering is something that you do in your mind so pain that happens in your body you take it in your mind and multiply it a thousand times or a million times depending on how capable you are or how stupid you are and suffer it a million times over right now most human beings are like this what happened 10 years ago they can still suffer what may happen day after tomorrow they already suffer they are not suffering life they think they are suffering life they are not suffering life they are suffering the two most fantastic faculties that human beings alone have a vivid sense of memory and a fantastic sense of imagination why does one person need a well by prescription these days eight hours is it seven seventy eight hours seven hours sleep seven hours and why another person can do with half of that see one thing is as we already went through the very physical body that you carry is just the food that you've eaten isn't it you are looking at Food only as protein vitamin mineral like this but we're talking about a food chain that means they're all different kinds of lives what we consume is another form of life every animal consumes another form of life this is the way the food cycle is created so in what condition that life is will determine in what condition your life is in many ways so you food appears in front of me if I just look at it uh people have prepared it with their elaborate care if I just look at it I say no this is Guru this girl this lady has brought it she's a very good cook she's very tasty I just look it in a channel simply because it's not alive enough for me it may be tasty but it's not alive enough for me if it's not alive enough I will not consume if you're just conscious of this one thing you will see your sleep quota will go down another thing is most people are eating at least 50 50 means hundred percent more than what they need to eat yes you you will do one thing as an experiment just try this whatever you're eating cut it down by 50 percent if you're eating let's say uh two kilograms of food cut it down to one kilogram and eat variety of foods you will see you will neither drop weight nor will you become weak nor will you become less energetic only thing that will happen is your sleep quota will go down because you are putting so much food to generate the same same amount of energy you're eating more by compulsion of liking the taste or simply by compulsion of filling yourself up now the body has to press process so much food to create so much energy this extra processing is taking a toll on the system the amount of impurities that are there in the food will also determine how how much inertia you generate in the body let's understand it this way in terms of physical terms what sleep means is inertia right now your Dynamic this is life inertia said sin when inertia goes beyond a certain point that's death but sleep is a certain kind of death but it is offering you rest so restfulness is very important what is being restful means is if you sit here if you're a total ease you will see the body is naturally restful if you have you noticed on a particular day you are very happy on that day you don't need much sleep or food have you noticed this that's all you have to do if you remain very joyful every moment of your life the food will come down sleep will come down naturally I don't know I never looked at Life as a series of mistakes learning from that I don't look at life like that well have you done made some dumb decisions here and there of course but uh I wouldn't see them as mistakes I just see them as part of growing up and becoming more mature because Enlightenment is one thing you see things clearly but still operating in the world you need wisdom wisdom you have to earn it with experience there is simply no other way for that today it has become fashionable with all these management gurus and all saying You must learn from your mistakes you must learn mistakes that means you must keep on doing mistakes I don't believe that you must learn from your mistakes I would rather live a life where I don't do any mistakes because life is so brief you do a bunch of mistakes and then you will learn and where will you use it in the grave too late so let's learn from other people's mistakes yeah and yes of course of course human means that we can learn from other people's experience from history we can learn we don't have to do all those things once again and especially you are from the aviation state if you are trying Aviation or if you're trying skydiving or something if you don't do things right the first time well that will be the last time unfortunately in many ways not just in the way that I said now in many different ways I would say 70 percent of illnesses on the planet all kinds are self-created even if you get an infection there is a way if you keep yourself in a certain way physically and mentally the virus in the bacteria will not work the same way as it works upon somebody else if you said to yourself like this no matter what's happening anyway I have to go and do this this and this there's no break from that the last 29 years I have not been able to cancel one program because I'm running temperature I got a cold I got this I got that it doesn't matter what's happening what you have to do you anyway have to do you can't turn back on that either out of your commitment or you have a boss like that one or one way or the other if it happens then you will see you will not at all fall sick so often because if you have temperature you still have to go if it's summer you still go right now a lot of people don't go it's a little hot outside they don't go and work a little cold outside they don't go and work a little raining they won't go on work a snowflake they will not go on work this is just weather so for every change in weather if you have the comfort of covering yourself in a blanket and lying down once you create that your body will learn to fall sick as often as possible if you just keep it this way it doesn't matter what it is anyway I have to go and do what I have to do you will see your body will just bounce back as quickly as possible even if it gets the worst kind of infections so you just have to set the necessary conditions for health necessary in incentives for help both for yourself and your children if you have them do not set incentives for sickness if you're paying too much attention to everything around you not enough attention to this one but the quality of your life is essentially determined by how you carry this one yes or no this moment what kind of clothes you're wearing what kind of card you parked outside what kind of home you live in does not determine the quality of your life this moment how joyful are you feeling within yourself determines the quality of your life isn't it so nothing has been done about it you think it will happen in consequence and you're setting impossible goals for your happiness if I have to be happy my wife should be like this my husband should be like that my children should be like this the world should become some other way well these are impossible conditions you're setting for your happiness and peacefulness now that you have compromised yourself to peace why I'm saying compromise yourself to pieces because a lot of people have given up aspirations for being ecstatic or Blissful if I'm just peaceful it's enough even the so-called spiritual leaders are going about and saying peace is the highest goal in your life peace is not the highest goal in your life if you want to enjoy your lunch today you must be peaceful yes or no if you're not even peaceful there is nothing in your life that you can do in a worthwhile way to be peaceful essentially means this that you're not messing your mind to be peaceful means that your system is at ease you know how to conduct your mind you know how to conduct your emotions your body and your energies you are peaceful it is not a rocket technology it is the most basic thing you have a dog at home you give him his food he sits peacefully maybe not ecstatic but peacefully many times they are ecstatic also yes if your dog is able to sit please oh he doesn't have to run my industry that's not the point he's got his own stuff going [Music] see it has nothing to do with the external activity that you're doing it's got something to do with the internal systems as to how they're functioning essentially it means either neither your body nor your mind or your Chemistry or your emotions nor your energy or taking instructions from you they're doing their own thing once your machine is not in your control being peaceful is impossible I'll tell you you get into your car and now you go there and you want to turn this way you do this to the steering it goes this way can you peacefully drive this car can you no anxiety is natural isn't it this is what has happened to your vehicle it's out of control you've never done anything to find out where the steering wheel is first of all this is not that simple as a car this is a super super computer now the problem is most people have not even bothered to find the keyboard they think if they do this somehow it will work if you make when you're given such a highly sophisticated machine if you do not conduct it properly it will cause many problems to you by accident it's working I want you to know this this is made this way if you hold your hands like this it'll breathe one way if you just turn it around the very way you breathe the breathing pattern itself changes in your lungs you can try it if you want when you have the time this way this way I'm saying everything that you do fundamental changes are happening in this machine because it's such a sophisticated machine it's more than a touch screen if you just wish it it will happen when you have such a sensitive and sophisticated machine and you are operating like a blacksmith then being peaceful seems to be difficult peace is not the highest goal in your life it is the most fundamental requirement don't ever set peace as the highest goal if you do that you will only rest in peace you must see to be peaceful is the first thing in your life isn't it if you want to do anything sensibly in your life if you want to do conduct any situation in your life sensibly to be peaceful and happy is fundamental voice isn't it so why is it so much unpleasantness is happening in Human Experience because we never took charge of the inner dimension We Believe by fixing the outside everything is going to be okay in the last 150 years with the Advent of Science and modern technology we have fixed too many things on the outside if you fix any more there won't be a planet left yes definitely this has brought much convenience and comfort to our lives in every way we are the most comfortable generation ever you agree with me I know you have series of complaints about how things are not okay but we are the most comfortable generation ever before on this planet isn't it so but we cannot say we are the most joyful generation on the planet we are the most loving generation on the planet we are the most blissed out generation in the planet definitely not we are complaining complaining like crazy about everything like never before this is because we fixed the outside comfort and conveniences happen well-being has not happened if your interiority was handled by you consciously you would definitely keep this in a blissful state so he's Bliss the goal of life no Bliss is a necessary condition for life to flower to its full potential otherwise it will remain constrained because you made it this far in a video I want to celebrate you most people start and don't finish most people never actually follow through most people say they want something but they don't ever do the work to actually get it but you're different you are special believe Nation you made it here all the way to the end and I love you so it's a special celebration if you put a hashtag believe down in the comments Below on this video I will showcase you and celebrate you somewhere on the screen in a future video because you are awesome for 10 more amazing rules from gorugo Paul does check the video right there next to me I think you'll love it continue to believe see you there do you know something in the game of life
