Sadhguru: Ah, making sambar!
Well (Laughs), this is supposed to be a radish sambar.
But look at what they have done to the rabbi… radish, hmm?
They’ve changed the shape of radish in the world (Laughs).
Nothing looks the same anymore.
Well, different variety maybe, or maybe somebody messed with it – they did some… oooh lab
stuff.
We don't know what we are eating these days, we are doing our best to see that what we
eat comes from the land (Laughs).
But you never know whether it's coming from the land or the lab.
Well, this is not progress.
This is (Laughs) vinaashakaale vipareetabuddhi – that's what it means.
That means, when we want a disaster, we get over-smart with life – wrong thing to do.
Always understand, the smartest thing out here is creation.
The smartest thing out here is life itself.
You just learn to live; you just learn to be part of it; you just enjoy being life (Laughs).
Don't try to be smarter than life.
That's not going to work, believe me.
Ah, this poor, shapeless radish – I have to cut it and I have to eat it today – making
sambar.
There are a lot of events today.
Before that I have to eat something.
Sambar and rice – as South Indian as I can be (Laughs).
Good…
This is a house that I'm staying – a wonderful friend of ours, a volunteer, very involved
with us for many years.
A wonderful house and she…
they have a French chef – all kinds of complicated things he will do.
Today, I’m keeping him out and making my own sambar.
I'm not going to give my sambar to you, because if you eat my sambar, you will become enslaved
to me.
I don't want that to happen.
So, I'll deny you the sambar today – just me and a few people – yeah (Laughs)!
Really, really, I'm telling you – this… this radish doesn't have much pungence like
the Indian ra… radish.
But even in India, most of it has become hybrid.
It is changing shape there also and losing its pungence, but still, there are natural
radish available in Indian markets – slowly going away, but I hope we keep it, because
it's very important we maintain the original seed the way they are.
Even if you make modifications, please keep the original seed, because the moment it goes
about… out of commercial market, it looks like everything disappears – absolutely!
So, we must keep… preserve the seed.
I think that wonderful lady, Vandana Shiva started Beej Bacaho – very, very important.
I hope all of us in some way contribute and make sure the seed… the original seed of
variety of things are maintained.
Hmm…
yup (Gestures).
Just bowing down to the radish, for having cut him into pieces, but I will have to eat.
