Sadhguru chants Yoga
Yoga Yogeshwaraya… (Sadhguru's presence) Sadhguru: Namaskaram,
Namaskaram to everyone. Sounds of Isha
music performance… Sadhguru chants Kalo
no janati thavajananam… Sadhguru:
Namaskaram to all of you. Wherever you are, Namaskaram to everyone
of you, but here we are in Arizona. I think it's been a long
time since I came to Arizona. And there are more than hundred people,
so (Laughs) wonderful to be here with you. I can't see much of you. Whether you’re masked and
cloaked and (Laughs)… Good! _____ (Unclear) it's more than six
years since I came to Arizona. Great. Well, as the last two
days, the reports… the news reports are
churning out statistics, which shows that both in India
and United States and Europe and China and South America, the
virus is on the rise – second coming. So, United States still leading
in these terrible statistics of daily nearly a
thousand people dying. Similar number in
India, Brazil right behind. Well, this is a test of who
we are; almost it's like that. And the second resurgence of virus is,
because people are just slackening up. How long to maintain
social distance (Laughs)? Well, in the yogic culture, people went into sadhana periods of
twelve years, you heard of a solar cycle, twelve years sadhana (Laughs). The virus is not demanding
twelve years from you. It's not yet twelve
months either. Tch, I think it's very
important at this stage that we don't further
escalate this upon ourselves. Because if we want to bring
back economic and social activity, individuals behaving
responsibly becomes most vital. Otherwise, we will
not be able to do it. Socially, economically,
we will be crippled if we individual people don't
behave in a responsible manner. So, virus continues to dance on. But in India Navaratri
has begun, tch. This is a time of
festivities of music, dance. A bit muted, but still
happening to some extent. At least in the yoga center, it's going on with full
exuberance, but no crowds. Well, we may not be
able to get together, but our enthusiasm and exuberance
for life need not go down, it’s important. So Navaratri is the
time which is dedicated for the exuberance
of the feminine, the feminine dimension
of our existence. When I say feminine – physical world can only
exist between polarities, day and night,
darkness and light – I am not able to
handle very bright lights (Laughs) for various reasons – and masculine and
feminine, male and female. Male and female is a
manifestation of the qualities, not a quality by itself. Well, today, in many
parts of the world, people are getting confused
whether they are male or female, hmm, ladies and gentlemen. And those of you who have not
made up your minds yet (Laughs), because it's become a question of
confusion, “Am I male or female?” Because male and female
is only a manifestation of the fundamental qualities
of masculine and feminine. So, when we say masculine and feminine,
we are not talking about the gender; we are talking about the basic
qualities in the existence, the polarities. It could be sun and moon, it could be day
and night, it could be light and darkness, it could be sound and silence. Well, what is what, which is which – there
could be confusions in people's minds. What is sound?
What is silence (Laughs)? You will see, if you are
intensely focused on something, somebody else around
you is chattering away, you will find they're making a
lot of noise, you will feel that way. But they think they are
speaking in silence (Laughs). Happens… happens or no? This happened.
A lady went to her doctor, gastroenterologist,
and she said, “Doctor, in the last six months I've been having this problem
of excess gas and I pass gas. But fortunately, it never smells,
and it's always silent” (Few laugh). The doctor looked at her and
wrote a prescription and gave it to her. She saw this and said, “But,
you prescribed nasal drops.” He said, “Yes. First clear your nostrils,
then we'll work on your ears” (Laughter). So, people could be confused about
what is masculine and feminine too. When you're confused about what is silence, what is
noise, what is light, what is darkness – because different
levels of perception. Of course, somebody will
be giving a commentary, “Why early morning Sadhguru is
wearing glasses (Laughter)?” Because, because… too much light. You think it is darkness,
but too much light (Laughs). What does it matter
sunlight or strobe lights? Light is light. So, this is the time
of the feminine. Post autumnal equinox
is the time of the feminine. It matures towards December, where
in southern India, it is called Margazhi, where during the
month of Margazhi, even the male
members of the society will do those chores which normally
done by the females in those societies. Man will come out and do
rangoli… what do you call that? Most of you know
Tamil, I can see. Even… Kolam is very
Tamil, Rangoli, right? So, men will go and do rangoli, they
will do kirthan and walk on the street. This singing and making these geometric
designs are normally women's forte, they do it well. If we… if people are
not conscious about this, if we want to do very
angular geometric patterns, you will see always a masculine
mind produces them very well. But if you want to do
little rounded geometry, you will see women
will do it very effortlessly or the feminine will
do more effortlessly. It is wrong to identify masculine and
feminine with male and female, though, feminine manifests as female,
masculine manifests as male. Because when you
take individual persons… when you take individual people, a male person could be very feminine. This does not mean
he's effeminate. He may be very much a man,
but feminine in his approach to life. You may be a female, but you may be
very masculine in your approach to life. So, this part of the year
naturally supports the feminine, and the societies have worked to
establish the feminine consciously, because masculine asserts
itself without much encouragement. Feminine needs support to assert itself,
otherwise, it moves into the background. In any given society, if feminine
moves into the background, they will become conquerors. That means their life, they will sit
on an empty shell (Laughs) of life. They'll conquer the
whole world, and they find, they have no taste of the world. This is, this is the
plight of the masculine. They will reach
the top of the world. And they'll feel
miserable, right on the top. So, bringing feminine consciously
into your home, into your culture, into your day-to-day
practices is very important. So that is what
Navaratri is about. Nine days or
nine nights, rather. It's all about the
different Devis (Laughs). Some of them very
gentle and wonderful. Some of them are fierce,
some of them are terrible, some of them are
horrifying (Laughs). As I've said, probably in the
previous darshan or somewhere, this is the only culture which worships
women who bite your head off (Laughter). Hello, married people (Laughs)! Because we didn't want to surrender
one’s intelligence, brilliance, genius, other competence, capabilities
at the altar of good behavior alone. Because good behavior… you
can train your pussycat at home. Even, even a cat, not a… dog
will be anyway good behavior – even a cat you can train for good
behavior, at least when you're around. But in the making of a human
being, the most important thing is that a human being blossoms
into their full potential. Good behavior will
give you social access. If you don't have good
behavior, society will reject you, but life will not reject you. If you're the only
person on this planet, how you are behaving, nobody would
be there to tell you what is good behavior, isn't it? Because there are the
people, it matters to them; so as a consideration,
you behave well. But as a life it means nothing. As a life, what matters is, this life
blossomed into its fullest possibility. So these nine
days are about that. And the tenth day is Vijayadashami,
that means is the day of victory. That means you
blossomed, full on. So, the culture created a whole series
of processes and rituals and many other devices so that you
go through this properly. You will not be conscious that it is
Navaratri, so they told you to fast. So, if you're fasting, you
will be very conscious. One, two, three, four, by the
time you come to nine, huh? Superconscious isn't it. Food in the stomach, you
forgot what ratri it is (Laughs). So, to make you very conscious and also for a certain level
of purification in the body, you're supposed to fast. But you're in America. Even if you're leaving the house
at 4:30 in the morning, you have to… because they've told you,
“You must eat something, otherwise your protein will go
down, your vitamin will go down, your minerals will go down,
salts will go down. This will happen, that'll happen,
that'll happen, that'll happen.” Okay. (Laughs) That's not
the way life works. Today, a lot of
research, recently, these research papers
have been published, “How breath is related
to your mental status and your sense of
experience of life.” Well, we've been saying this for
thousands of years but you know, it's not written in the
high-school textbook. So it can't be true. Why I'm saying this is… I've
been saying this for a long time. I remember
particularly (Laughs)... I think this was in... yes, it was in Hyderabad, I was
teaching a program way back, I'm talking about thirty-five
or thirty-four years ago maybe. And I say, “See, there are
five manifestations of prana, which are prana vayu, samana
vayu, apana, udana and vyana.” The prana vayu is in charge of both your
respiratory action and your thought process. So if you breathe right, naturally your
thought process will be in a certain way. Then I have a psychiatrist, who's…
you know, I'm on the couch, but (Laughs), he’s in the
program, big argument, “How can you say this?
What is the basis of this? How can thought and
breathing be connected?” I said, “See you breathe this way for three
days and see what will happen to you.” He said, “No that
is not science.” Science means you should have
read it in your high-school textbook. What is not in the high-school
textbook cannot be in the universe. One big argument that day. Today, recent studies are saying that the neurons which control
and moderate your breathing also control and moderate three
fundamental aspects of your alertness, your wakefulness, and your anxiety. But now it is coming
from a university. So, various emotions
can be affected by breath. “How we breathe can
influence our emotions” declared. This is being declared by people
who have no experience of such things, all right? They found chemistry,
neurons, this, that, that. Slow breathing
activates the vagus nerve, which calms the body, heart
rate slows and becomes regular, blood pressure decreases. Wow. All discovered just now, just like
Columbus discovered America (Laughter), when millions of
people were living here and Vasco de Gama
discovered India and maybe
created all of us (Laughs). I’m… I'm speaking like this, not
because I have any problem with science, simply because of all those people who've just read their high-school
textbook, think they are scientists, and they've been badgering me for last
thirty-five years, continuously (Laughs), especially in India. So, I
am telling all those idiots. So science is coming as piecemeal,
little by little, little by little – there is a holistic way, at
least when it concerns this. I'm not going to talk
about something else, I'm not going to talk about how the bacteria
works because that's not my business, that is your business. To put it under the microscope and
say what it does, what it does not do. What this does, is my business. And I know (Laughs),
how this works. Because I've been living in
this for some time, you know. Hello (Laughs). And the respiratory
rhythm also controls some of the activity of the brain region
involved in attention, wakefulness, anxiety, how we breathe can
directly influence the brain. All this sarcasm from me is only directed to those textbook
scientists, not the real ones; those high-school textbook
scientists. This happened in UK. In London, there was a dinner, in the Buckingham Palace. The Queen had invited the top
people in the society for some dinner. So, one high society lady came and settled down at her
chair, which was designated for her. Next to her she saw, a little shabbily
dressed man was simply sitting there quietly with this thick glasses. After some time,
you know she wanted to make conversation – one side was an army officer,
she made enough conversation, but he had another young woman on the other
side, he… so he rarely turned this side. So she had to converse with somebody,
then she looked at this man; this man is shabbily dressed, it
looks like he's a nobody. So she asked, “What do you do?” He said, “I study science.” “Oh, you study science? I finished in…
that in my high school” (Laughter). So (Laughs), unfortunately there
are too many scientists like this, who finish their
science in high school, and they’re passing
judgments on everything that we have known for
thousands of years, from very profound
experience of life. Now United States
Navy medical team, is supposedly using this for
the Navy SEALs to stay calm and composed in dangerous
combat situations. (Laughs) I will tell you the
process, don't do it. Okay? So, exhale for four counts. Hold for four counts. Inhale for four counts. Hold for four counts.
That is one cycle, continue this, there will be no anxiety
in a moment of danger, in combat situations, when people's
breathing will go out of control sometimes (Laughs). Well, we taught you a proper
science of how to breathe like this, Shakti Chalana Kriya,
are some of you doing this? No, you learnt but are you
doing it, I’m saying (Laughter). Because some of you
think it's a qualification. “I did Inner
Engineering, Sadhguru.” “I am Inner Engineering” but are
you engineered, that's the question. Please don't do this four
count, four count business. It is a simplistic manifestation
of what is a… a kriya. Well if it's properly done, you can
manage the very chemistry of what this is. This is the most sophisticated chemistry
or chemical factory on the planet. The question is only,
“Are you a great manager of this factory or are you a lousy
manager?” That's all there is. Why I'm speaking
about this today is – in this pandemic,
the virus pandemic going on, now everybody's predicting there is
going to be a mental health pandemic. And some people are going about predicting
there is going to be a suicide pandemic. They're telling me already the number
of suicides in the world have risen. I thought virus was
supposed to kill us. Hello? “No, we want to go ahead of the
virus and do it to ourselves, because our mental states
are going out of control.” Well, there are pressures,
for every one of us. Well, unfortunately, over a million
people have lost their lives, nearly a quarter
million in United States and many, many people
have lost their dear ones. The worst thing is they're not able
to go and attend to those situations. Yes, there are pressures – people have lost their jobs,
people have closed down their businesses. People have businesses where
there are no customers, many struggles out there. But still we did all this,
because our life was precious, isn’t it? Hmm? We did all these things,
we wanted money, we wanted comfort. We wanted this, that everything,
because we thought this is worthwhile. So just, because some things don't work, you have no business
to take your life, but when you get to extreme states
of psychological conditions, then nobody can
talk any sense into you. You will start working
against yourself. Working against yourself
initially functions as causing misery and anxiety
and str… trouble to yourself, because I'm saying this, a whole lot of people are justifying
their anxieties their depressions and their other things.
They don't understand, we are doing something wrong
with ourselves, whatever that is, whether you are able
to figure it right now or not. We are doing something wrong if something
is going wrong from within, isn't it? Hello? If… if from outside,
you got this virus, it is a different matter, this is
an external situation affecting us. From inside if something
is going wrong, should you not have this much sense
that we are doing something wrong. Maybe it's not visible, maybe we are
not able to figure it out what it is, but we are doing something
wrong, that is the first step. Once you see this, then paying attention
to variety of things will naturally come. Now (Laughs), no more an ignorant
yogi like me, telling you, “If you learn to
breathe properly, you will be physically,
mentally well.” Not from a… you
know, see how I am (Laughs). Now it is coming from
top universities in the world, people who have PhDs
and PhDs and PhDs, they are saying it,
so at least now, you must start your
Shakti Chalana Kriya, tch. That means you're still
part of the virus pandemic, but at least you're not part of
the mental health pandemic. For sure, you should not be
part of the suicide pandemic. It should never happen to you.
Hmm? To you and anybody around you, you must ensure such
things don't happen. See, all you have to do is
breathe right, they're saying. Tch, not me, they are
saying; qualified people. Aah, I don't know how anybody
got qualifications of life, except by living in
a profound manner. By studying a book,
by looking into a microscope, by analyzing this and that, you don't get qualified for life. Only by a very profound
experience of life, do you become
qualified for life. This all of you can
do, nobody to stop you. But we are looking at all the wrong things,
we think something else is happening. We think, because of the virus
we are mentally disturbed, no. We are mentally disturbed,
virus is exposing you. Yes! Economic conditions
are exposing you, the losses that we are facing,
every one of us, is exposing you. It's not that suddenly
you became like that. This may sound very cruel,
but I want you to look at this properly, because suddenly virus cannot cause
psychological conditions in you. Tch, ahh, it needed some manure to
flower, it is flowering now, unfortunately. So especially when
we face hard times, all the more important
that we remain balanced and focused on
what matters to us, what really matters to us. I want you to understand the only and only
and only thing that you have in your life is this life itself. Everything else
is your imagination. Hello. The only real thing
that you have is life. If you don't keep this well
because something is not working. Well, when we say,
“Economic conditions,” yes, it's hard,
not just for you, for everyone, including us. Isha Foundation is struggling, because we have committed
to various projects. We are committed to educate
thousands of children, feed thousands of people,
take care of their health and there are river projects,
which we are committed to. But in the last few months,
the revenue comes to zero. But we are still committed,
so running around. For the first time in my life,
begging for money (Laughs). So the difficulty
is for everybody. The question is only how
you handle it, that's all. That's all there is. Everything matters,
because we are alive, isn’t it? Have you seen how dispassionate,
because many of you are Indian and you’ve always been fascinated
by this detachment theory, tch. Unfortunately, everybody
accuses Krishna of such a thing. Not him, he won't
say such things. Have you seen… ever
seen a dead body? Hello. You've seen right. How involved and engaged they were
in their little, little things about life. But then the person is dead, lies there completely
detached, tch. You bring his favorite
food (Gestures) (Laughter). You show lot of
money (Gestures), you show him a heap
of gold (Gestures). Hello (Laughs)? Completely detached, tch. You must understand this – this is the time
when you're alive, which is not a very long time,
believe me, unless you're miserable. This is the time for
engagement, involvement. With what?
First with this. That you're deeply
involved with this life. You don't live casually,
you live profoundly. When you live profoundly, all
the other things are insignificant. If they're there,
we will enjoy it. If they're not there, we
enjoy their absence also. What's the problem? So, do not mistake
one thing for the other. The real thing is life. Everything else is
secondary, is that so? But if you think wrong
things are chasing you, at that moment it looks
like it's the end of the world. And that moment could lead
to terrible mental anxieties, and, unfortunately, in
some cases suicide. This happened. Shankaran Pillai was driving. And he was not little conscious
about the speedometer. So, his leg lazily
pushed the throttle and he was speeding. So, police officer
started chasing him. Then Shankaran Pillai drove
faster and faster and faster. They went through a big
chase, tch, – you’ve seen some of this real
life chases on the television. Like that he went through
all kinds of things and then he hit
a pavement and stopped. The police officer came with his
gun in his hand and everything. Then he looked at him and he said,
“What… what are you doing? What is... what's your crime?
Why are you going away like this? I followed you
because your tail lit…. one of the tail lights,
were not working. I wanted to just tell you. Why did you drive like this?” Shankaran Pillai
said, “Oh my god, shouldn't you have told me before? Just a fortnight ago my
wife ran away with a cop. I thought you were chasing me to
return my wife to me” (Laughter). I'm saying,
“Don't imagine things.” Most of human suffering, unfortunately, is in their memory and in
their imagination, isn't it? What happened yesterday.
“Oh!” poke yourself with that. A dead yesterday can
poke you so hard means you have a serious problem,
very simple problem, but a serious problem, because you
don't understand how simple it is. And worse, things you're
(that are?) yet to happen, you imagine that, “This will happen, that will
happen,” and poke yourself with that. That is like this. Shankaran Pillai imagining the cop is coming to return
something that he doesn't want. Don't do this to yourself. This is the time you must
function most sensibly, in a stable, sensible,
intelligent manner. All you have to
do is hunker down. Make yourself into a
better human being. Because there's less to do. No society, no
party, no something. All you have to do is sit down,
meditate, look at yourself, keep yourself physically
well, mentally well. Ah, virus will dance
for some time. By the time its dance is over, you must be ready for the big
dance, isn't it? But if you're already beaten without
doing anything, what is the point of that? “Because I have nothing to do,
I will beat myself,” what is this? If you have nothing to do, you must
become stronger and better, isn't it? Hello? So, it's extremely important
as individual human beings, as societies,
as nations that we must take a vow that we will not allow a mental
pandemic to happen, to us. Hello. Well, the virus pandemic is
happening, that's not… that is also in our hands. Because statistics say it's
ten percent of the people who are giving it to ninety percent
of the infected people right now. Those ten percent, if we made them
behave a little more responsibility tch, there would be no pandemic. Still, there is a virus, but
it need not be a pandemic. It's a pandemic,
because these ten percent of the people, they have no sense. Are you that ten percent?
I'm looking. Hello? Are you that ten percent? No, you should not be, that's a shame that human beings do
not know how to function, consciously. Let's make this happen,
that in your life or yourself as a person, your family,
your friends and people around you, there should be no
mental pandemic. Tell them all you have to do is learn to breathe properly
within your mask (Laughter). Please, if there are
questions (Laughs). Questioner: Pranam Sadhguru, I heard that one day someone sat for
ten hours in Dhyanalinga without moving and some people got
worried about it. Why would they worry? Can someone attain
Mahasamadhi sitting in Dhyanalinga? Sadhguru: Well, well, well in some moments
I have said this, but because these videos have gone out
now, everybody may know about this, at some moments I have said, if you make this mistake of sitting
with me for one moment, really, then, this is the last
cycle of life for you. What this means is (Laughs),
this is not just about me. This is what a guru means,
because his energies, and his way of being, is committed to liberation.
Not for something else. Other drama you do
because (Laughs) you're living in the world,
if you don't do some drama of saying, you know, mental health will
come, physical health will come, back pa…backache will go,
this will go, that will go – this is all important for somebody who has a backache.
Backache is the most important thing. When you have a backache,
if I talk about ultimate liberation, you're not going
to listen to me. So we talk about that. It's like,
if you have a little child, to make him eat,
you do all kinds of tricks. Hello?
Yes or no? All kinds of tricks, you should see the
Indian mothers doing tricks and tricks (Laughs) to make
their children eat. So, this is just like that.
Leave those things. The important thing is to
move towards liberation. What is liberation? If I lock you up in that room and
declare, “See, you're liberated,” will it work for you? Hello?
No. Only if I let you out,
you're liberated, isn't it? Right now, do one thing, do what you want,
shake yourself whichever way you want. Let me see, just spill out of your
body, just for ten seconds and go back. Hello? Can you (Laughter)? What? Are you in the suicide
pandemic list (Laughter)? Without damaging the body, just go out and come back.
See, freedom means what? I may live in that room, but when I want,
I may lock it from inside. But when I want, I can open the door, go out and come back.
This is freedom. You're a free person. You're locked in that room, it doesn't matter from
inside or outside, but you cannot open it, is that freedom? Hello? No. So, any physical boundary is like this. Usually, you know, when I first went
into the Coimbatore Central Prison and we want to do programs, it was
very hard to get in, you don't know. It's not only difficult to get out,
it's very difficult to get in (Laughter). You need certain
qualifications, which I didn't have. It took me almost nearly
one and a half to two years, meeting the superintendent,
meeting this guy, meeting that guy, things, wanting to go and do
something with the prisoners. Well, since then for the last twenty-two,
twenty-three years its happening – the programs.
The first time when I went in, I saw in the heart of
Coimbatore city (Laughs), most people probably
don't realize this. I was invited to a ladies club, a
(an?) elite ladies club to speak to them. I spoke to them and we
organized a little bit of games, outside in the open field that was there. Then I look like this. There's a huge wall
behind the ladies club. Like almost eighteen
to twenty feet high wall. I said, “What is this wall?”
Well, none of the ladies knew. I said there a… such a big wall
behind your club and what is this wall? Nobody knew. Then when I inquired, they said
it's the Coimbatore Central Prison. It's in the heart of the city. And then I realized that main street
in Coimbatore City is called Jail road (Laughter). It's not way
to the jail, it goes by the jail (Laughs). Then I said… I thought who
could be inside, let's go and see. But it was not that simple. It took me over nearly two years I
think, one-and-a-half to two years to enter the prison. When I went inside, the Coimbatore Central
Prison has a history of over hundred-and-thirty-six years on
that day, I'm saying, when I went. And it's a large space, maybe more than
hundred-and-fifty acres inside the city. Massive rain trees. I looked at these trees, wow! If I want a tree like this in the ashram I
have to wait fifty years or hundred years. Here it is massive
trees, huge space, everything spic and span.
Basic of course but clean, like that. And everything
is in order, chuk. You know, it’s taken me years in the yoga center,
and in our programs – “Leave your shoes
properly,” “Come on time.” “Everybody must be there
for lunch at ten o'clock.” “Why can't I come at 10:05?” Can we make… some
people requesting me, putting applications,
written application saying, “Why can't we make
the meal 10:30?” If you make it 10:30,
they will anyway come at 10:40 (Laughter). Ten o'clock. See, people who are serving the meal… The
incredible thing is in the yoga center in India and here also now – in the last twenty, whatever
number of years, what is it? Some twenty-five,
twenty-six years, every day, meal is served exactly
at ten o'clock in the morning and seven in the evening.
Not one day, have the kitchen people made
anybody wait for two minutes. When people who are preparing
the meal are doing it on time, the idiots who eat it (Laughter), they must
be on time, isn't it? There is a challenge in preparing
the meal for so many people every day on time, but they're doing it. But these people are
reque… requisitioning me, “Can we come at 10:40?
Can we come at 10:45?” If you fix whatever time, anyway they
will come five, ten minutes late. That is their problem. But in the prison, bang on
everything, on the dot, food is on time, doors open on time, doors close on
time, lights go off on time, tch, I thought this is a
fantastic place (Few laugh). If you want to do sadhana, it's a
great place and these massive trees, particularly the trees, I dreamed under these trees.
Wow, if I want a tree like
this in the ashram, it will take hundred years to
get this tree growing like this. But here in the
prison it's like this. So I'm saying, prison
is a wonderful place. But the only problem is you
cannot open the door at your will. That's a prison, isn't it? Everything else
may be fantastic. Food may be better,
it may come on time, things may happen, they
are even opening doors for you. But you cannot open
the door and go out. That's a prison, isn't it? The premises and the garden is
way bigger than your home, I'm sure. But you cannot open the door. So, any physical space,
however beautiful it is, if you cannot go out at will, that's considered a prison. Right now, shake yourself
and get out, let me see. This is also physical space. So once you become conscious that
you are something more than a body, the longing to go beyond
that is a natural process. Then you begin to experience the
physical body as an imprisonment. So, Dhyanalinga is a… is
like a living guru, full on. Only thing is, he
doesn't eat and walk. We made him like that so that
it's easy to maintain him (Laughs). Otherwise, just feeding such
a big guy would be lot of work. So, if somebody sits there ten
hours unmoving, not by intent, they went there only for fifteen,
twenty minutes, they thought they will sit, but they sat down,
didn’t realize time. You do not realize time only when
you don't have a sense of body. So you went to sleep.
You don't know time, isn't it? Five hours, six hours, whatever number
of hours just passed away, like that. Why? Because you're not
conscious of your body. Now you're sitting,
Sadhguru you’ve already reached 6:30, both my legs are saying that (Laughter). My back is also saying, so it
is confirmed Sadhguru, it’s one hour is up (Laughter).
Tch, if you did not have a body, I could make you sit here for 10,000
years, what's the problem? Hello?
Isn’t it? So if somebody is sitting for ten
hours, unmoving, obviously, no sense of body. Once somebody has become that loose
inside, he may find the door. It will be wonderful for
him, but not good for me. Hello? So my soldiers go to disturb his meditation and his
spiritual process (Few laugh). Yes (Laughs). Because, if somebody
leaves, in today's world, oh, already I have
faced too much of that (Laughs). So, we have soldiers to make
sure you're not liberated (Laughter). Not in our space, you go
home and do it (Laughter). Because we are living in a society
where there is no regard or respect for profound dimensions of life.
It’s all about eating and living in those
silly prescribed ways. People think… somebody
decided not to marry. They think that's
very unnatural. See, I'm asking you, do you believe whatever
creation made you, do you believe it made you
as a complete life, this one. Hello? It’s a complete life or is it a
half a life, I am asking you? Complete life. So, out of… it's reached a certain
level of exuberance and joy, and you want to share
it with somebody and of course we need
next generation of people. Tch, so you're
married, fantastic. But you're desperate creature, you think without another
person you cannot live. You're a parasite (Laughter). Hello? So if you don't do
this parasite stuff, people think you're unnatural. I think, for a full-fledged
evolved being like a human being who is the highest point of
evolution on this planet, being the parasite is
unnatural, isn't it? Out of your joy,
two people came together, you understand your
responsibilities, you also understand,
though it's lot of trouble, that you must raise
one or two children, because otherwise there will be no
people in the next generation. Hello? Right now, we can slow it
down, it’s too many people, but I'm saying it is not out of
compulsion that one should come together – out of responsibility one
can come together, isn't it? So like this everybody is going
on declaring everything unnatural, so that all subtler aspects
of life will disappear. So, this man who sits in the Dhyanalinga – I was
not there on that day, I came to know about it.
They called me, whenever I was and then I said, “Okay,
go disturb him” (Laughs). What a terrible thing to do? Ahh? All your life you work with
people, because you want them to attain. But if they attain in your
premises it's too much trouble, so you go and disturb them. This is the plight of a
twenty-first century guru, tch. Don't choose this
profession it's… (Laughter). Sadhguru chants Yoga
Yoga Yogeshwaraya… Sadhguru: For many of you who are
in different parts of the world, we are here in Sedona, a, a very aesthetically beautiful
place with grand mountains all around. Many other claims, a wonderful place that everybody
should see wherever you are. Sadhguru: Only when the
feminine is on, there is a civilization. Goddess worship or the feminine
worship has always been the most fundamental form of
worship everywhere in the world. What is being referred to as pagan,
all of them were mother worshipers. People who were involved in goddess
worship had mastery over occult sciences. India is one culture
which has still retained. Every village always
has a Devi temple. And this is a culture where you're given
the freedom to create your own goddess. All kinds of weird images,
Rakini, Dakini, Chinnamasti, Kali. See if we can consecrate a
stone to become a goddess, if a human being is truly willing,
why can we consecrate a human body to become a goddess?
You better much can. Instrumental
