Why Oppenheimer Quoted the Bhagavad Gita | Sadhguru

[Music] use this as a description for the first nuclear test when thousand suns explode in the sky I shall come as dead he took a passage from the bhagavad-gita Mahabharata and ramayan you will see Vivid description of weapons it's resembled today's modern weapons [Music] you can still explore the cosmos you could still know everything if you look at the Sciences as we anoint today they are full of explanations but [Music] never ever addressing the most fundamental aspect of wish any sense explanation for what is already there and those explanations keep changing every five years and [Music] a new set of people will get Nobel prizes I'm not trying to make fun of science as a whole it's a fantastic exploration no question about that today the top scientists in the world have fully realized that this is not the way they are openly saying that it is not only that we do not know we will never know but knowing tidbits about creation itself will bring enormous amount of benefit to humanity no question about that but benefit to one generation and Extinction to the Future Generations a very short-sighted benefit you will see in puranas you will see Vivid description of weapons which resemble today's modern weapons they could have just made up something which did not exist the concept of it which did not exist a few hundred years ago and you will be surprised Robert Oppenheimer who is considered as the father of modern nuclear weaponry when the first nuclear weapon was tested in the United States in Los Alamos he took a passage from Krishna from the bhagavad-gita and he said when Krishna spoke about this he said when thousand suns explode in the sky I shall come as death and shall check the world so he took this passage and used this as a description for the first nuclear test that happened in the United States because the same thing was spoken almost 5 000 years ago by Krishna so why I'm going into this is these aspects of physical sciences were explored and were rejected and not the way for the humanity if you go this way this is a way of Destruction this is not the way to go so they turn the whole thing into a mystical Dimension where a human being can expand and explore limitlessly without causing any damage do anything around him without disturbing any life you can still explore the cosmos you could still know everything and fundamental longing within a human being is he wants to expand all he does it is the only question he's the by conquest or by inclusion which way does he do it is the only question but a human being cannot be kept here without expansion so when we talk about mystical dimensions we are talking about looking at life Exploring Life in a completely different direction and dimension this needs a certain amount of reversal of everything you have done as life if I say your life you will immediately think your job your business your family your husband your wife your children your friend and many other things isn't it very few people only only if I put a gun to your head and say your life then you understand what's life this is not a party this is not a job this is not money it is not home this is not children this is not this and that life means this what makes life is not your local train coming on time airplane taking off on time your cell phone working something else happening you your bank account clicking no what makes life happen is just this the soil the rain the breeze the mountain the tea and what beats here what pulsates within this every cell in this body and above all the intelligence behind all this if you want to explore something else then we have to re-jig ourselves a little bit engaging in ourselves may not be our idea of fun but I want you to know one thing the only and only thing knowingly or unknowingly that you're aspiring for is to become something more than what you are right now you will never become anything more than what you're right now unless your perception is enhanced by increasing your bank balance you will not become more that's only in comparison with somebody unless everybody is little poorer than you you won't feel good having a billion dollars yes or no suppose everybody in the world has 10 billion dollars and you have one billion dollar are you happy so billion dollars is not going to do anything it's only the social comparisons anything that you may have or you believe you have achieved in life will not mean anything unless there is somebody to look down upon unfortunately please see this so no the only thing that will matter is your perception is enhanced you are experiencing more life than you were experiencing yesterday for this you don't need anybody's comparison how somebody is experiencing or not experiencing is not even an issue if you're experiencing something more than what you were experiencing yesterday this day is a blessed day and it's a fulfilled day ultimately that's the only and only thing that fulfills a human being and nothing else [Music]
