Participant 1: Okay.
So my question is very simple.
Whenever I go to watch a movie, I am given a place and I can see the screen in front
of me, hear the voice coming from somewhere and I can understand where I am but when it
comes to my life, I don’t know where I see things, where I hear things.
Every night when I go off to sleep, I don’t know where I vanish, where I come back from.
Something within me is seeing me pass by all that experiences that I had...
I have in my life, I have been seeing it, but I can’t figure out where I am.
It’s…
I can’t understand what's happening.
I can see everything, I can feel everything.
Whenever my hands get burned, I understand this feeling but I don’t understand where
it happens.
Whenever I do my practices, I see, I can’t figure out where I am, Sadhguru.
Kangana Ranaut: Matrix (Laughter).
You are in Matrix like all of us.
Sadhguru: He said you are making bad movies.
He said that, not me (Laughter) because he said “when I sit in the movie I know it’s
just a movie” (Laughter).
No, no you must get lost in the movie.
You must think it’s life for some time.
That’s when a (Laughs) movie…
He is making comments on you not me (Laughter).
Okay.
So about you not knowing where you are, well if you are thinking of where in terms of geography,
nobody knows where they are in this cosmos.
That is the beauty of this.
A tiny little block of a planet in this limitless cosmos is floating around and here we sit
and talk all this stuff, isn’t it fantastic?
Isn't it a miracle, hmm?
You and me sit here and talk all these things, and we don’t know where we are.
If you don’t know where you are, it’s not a problem.
It’s a geographical issue and there is no issue about it.
It’s perfectly fine.
But you should know what is the nature of your existence.
This is very important.
If you do not know what is the nature of your existence, you can never ever conduct yourself
properly.
You may be socially well-conducted in a given society.
But as a life you will never conduct yourself properly, if you do not know the nature of
your existence.
This is what this entire culture invested in, called realization or self-realization
that you must first know the nature of this life, otherwise how will you conduct it?
If you do not know the nature of what you’re handling, how will you handle it well?
How can you handle it well?
So, where you are, I don’t want to give you a GPS location.
That works only on this planet.
There is no CPS - cosmic positioning system doesn’t exist yet (Laughter).
Okay (Laughs)?
So let’s focus on knowing “What is the nature of my existence?”
That will sort out whole lot of things (Applause).
Kangana Ranaut: You know what but time is it (Whispers to Sadhguru)?
What time is it?
Sadhguru: You have taken the whole time (Whispers to Kangana).
It’s nine o’clock (Laughter).
Kangana Ranaut: Really?
That was long conversation.
Participant 2: Hello, my question is that we often tend to attract patterns in our life.
The pattern can be good or bad.
It can be abusive relationships, it can be successes, it can be failures.
So how to break away from a negative pattern and attract a positive one?
And my second question is…
Sadhguru: Hey, let’s handle one at a time (Laughter).
She is asking you.
Kangana Ranaut: No, she is definitely not asking me.
I have the same question in my life (Laughter/Applause).
Okay, this is the last question.
___(Unclear) answer, yes.
Sadhguru: So when we say we have patterns, this is what we said in a certain way.
There is a cyclical movement to everything.
Our psychological and emotional processes also have become cyclical.
Largely because of a very… a very strong attachment and involvement with the physical
process, and physical process has to be cyclical, only then we exist.
Without cyclical movement, there will be no physical existence.
If you…
do you…
Just on the side, if you want some entertainment, you want to know what is the yogic doomsday?
Kangana Ranaut: What is the yogi…?
Sadhguru: Yogic doomsday.
Kangana Ranaut: Doomsday, yeah.
Sadhguru: (Laughs) In yoga they calculated some 3,200 years ago...
3,200 years ago, they made a calculation and said, every…
every year - this is a fact - every year the moon is moving away from the planet approximately
about thirty-two millimeters.
This is nearly one-and-a-half inch.
The…
The orbit of the moon is going away from the planet.
So they made a calculation and said, in 28,000 years, the moon will go so far, that its impact
on the planet will become minimal.
When that happens, the human women will lose their menstrual cycles.
Once that happens, human race will just peter out.
You don’t need a bomb, you don’t need a flood, you don’t need something.
Our ability to reproduce will go away and slowly, we quietly peter out.
Having said that, our physical existence here is only because of the cycles, various levels
of cycles going on within us, isn’t it?
So if you attach your psychological process too much with your physicality, your psychological
process also becomes cyclical and in this, your karmic process also becomes cyclical.
So your life starts running in cycles.
You cannot avoid the cycles absolutely.
The longest cycle that can run in your life is twelve-and-a-quarter years because that
is the cycle of the sun.
The sun’s cycles happen in twelve-and-a-quarter years.
Moon’s cycle happen in twenty-eight days.
Our physical existence is based in the moon’s cycles because unless our mothers’ bodies
were in sync with the cycles of the moon, we wouldn’t be born.
So our physical existence is a short cycle.
But other dimensions of our existence, is a longer cycle.
Let us say, your life became a six-year cycle.
Then you will be still fine, you will be productive but once in a way, you will freak on somebody,
do this and that.
But you will be still doing things successfully.
Let us say, your cycle became three years.
Then you will see, you will be still doing reasonably well, but volatile.
One dimension of your life will be doing well, whatever you are competent with, the rest
will be a mess.
It will be going like this.
If it becomes let’s say eighteen months cycle, then you will see, every day waking
up in the morning is a problem.
So many things will happen.
Nobody need to bother you.
Everybody leaves you alone, still you will torture yourself in many, many different ways.
Let’s say your cycle becomes nine months, once you come below nine months cycle, then
you are serious trouble.
If it becomes three months, you are a… you must be in a (an?) asylum, you shouldn’t
be out.
I am sorry, your next movie (Few laugh).
If you get less than three months, then your physical existence itself is coming to an
end, it will not go beyond that.
How to watch these cycles?
If you want to watch patterns, don’t watch patterns in terms of what happens around you.
You must learn to observe the system.
There are clear cut cycles happening.
It’s very important that you do the necessary sadhana to bring this cycle to the longest
possible cycle within the human body is twelve-and-a-quarter-year cycle.
If you keep your cycle at that level, you will see, you will be very well balanced.
You will be successful with your life, you will handle your life effortlessly, and no
matter what happens around you, everything works for you, simply because you are in sync.
Because you must understand, your existence is not independent of the sources which create
you.
Here every moment of your life, everything that you do, the plant life, animal life and
your life is all solar powered.
Only if you are in sync with that fundamental energy, you will run with certain ease.
Once…
As you start getting away from that cycle, you will see life becomes more and more of
a struggle.
If it drops below three years, I would say you will not live a fruitful life.
You will live a very fit-full life.
It’s like, in spurts you may do well here and there but generally life becomes struggle.
Instead of trying to settle all these external situations, which nobody can settle, okay
(Laughs)?
You lived long enough to know, you cannot settle all the situations in our lives.
But if you settle this one thing, bring it to the right kind of cyclical process, you
will see everything falls into place for you.
Whatever may be happening, whatever the people’s intention may be about you, still that will
also work out for your well-being.
Simply because you are in sync with the fundamental nature of your existence here and that’s
very important.
Thank you very much (Applause).
