The existence perfect?
Hum?
The world is perfect right now?
Hum?
You said it's perfect.
It's perfect?
The world is perfect right now?
Looks like you had a good breakfast and came.
You ask those 50% of the population on the planet who don’t get to eat
properly everyday, you ask them if the world is perfect.
When stomach is full, we make one kind of philosophy;
when stomach is empty we make another kind of philosophy, isn't it?
Is the world perfect right now?
If you transform yourself, you can do a lot with the world;
if you're unable to transform yourself, you can only mess with the world, isn't it?
You just look into yourself and see how much nonsense is there.
Is it there or not?
[Questioner] It's not there.
[Sadhguru] It's not there?
Do you go through 24 hours in absolute bliss?
[Questioner] I, I don’t...
I don’t feel sorrow, I don’t carry things in my mind, I don’t get bogged down.
[Sadhguru] Life has not knocked you sufficiently yet.
Really.
Life hasn’t knocked you around sufficiently.
You ask many of the people here, those who have been knocked around by life,
they experience life in a different way.
You wait for sometime.
You’re married?
[Questioner] Is this a blessing or a curse Guruji?
So, ‘Existence is perfect, the world is perfect, everything is okay with me and the
world, why any change?’
We must be living in a dream.
If you just open your eyes and look around, you will see doesn’t matter
what's your philosophy, enormous suffering, enormous suffering in
the world, isn't it?
Too much, if you, if you relate yourself to people around you,
I'm not talking about that man in the slum, even the so-called well to do,
the level of suffering that they go within themselves is untold.
Too much suffering is happening in the world.
Nobody with eyes can say it is perfect, if you look around, you'll see lot of suffering.
Isn't it so?
I'm not trying to paint a negative picture, but it's there, isn't it?
Many, many of these people work in hospitals, there are doctors here,
you ask them.
Their patients’ suffering and their own suffering,
isn't it there, everyday?
See accepting somebody else's suffering is easy, but when it comes to you,
that’s when the problem is, isn't it?
Now when you're being eaten, then you cannot talk with the same nonchalance,
isn't it?
Isn't it so?
See this is all like...
Sometime ago I am in an international conference where,
you know, discussions about poverty alleviation and things like this are going on.
So one very pious religious looking person stands up and says,
‘Isn't this all divine plan?
Why are we discussing about all this problems and trying to change all this things?
Isn't this all divine plan?’
‘Yes, somebody's stomach is empty, it must be divine plan.
If your stomach is empty, you'll have your own plan; won't you?
Won't you?
Yes.
So, half the people are suffering right now but it's okay, existence is perfect;
but if the suffering comes to you, then it's not perfect, we want to do something about
it.
Isn't it so?
So all the things that’ are happening in Madras City,
it is not perfect, and if you allow it to be that way it'll not be long before it catches
up with you also.
Isn't it so?
Yes or no?
If you just allow it to be as it is, it is not long before it comes and really
catches up with you, isn't it?
Somebody's dying, it's okay, it's natural; after all tiger eats a goat,
but tomorrow when your child gets eaten, then things will come up, isn't it?
So don’t get into such philosophies; existence is a mess right now.
When I say existence, I'm not talking about larger existence; let's say the world.
If man disappears from this planet, then everything is perfect.
That I would agree.
Then it's just a natural process, but now this is not
a natural order of life; this is a very unnatural order of life that we have created.
If a tiger eats a goat, it just eats one goat in 15 days; do you know this?
Do you know a tiger eats once in 12 to 15 days, not everyday?
If it makes one kill; next 12, 15 days it doesn’t eat anything,
but man’s nature is not like that.
He wants to make a kill every minute of his life.
Isn't it so?
So this is not a natural order of life; if you went by the natural order - stomach is
full, you shouldn’t touch anything in the world.
That’s not how it is; if your stomach gets full,
you want to get the whole world for yourself that’s the way you are made.
So if you don’t bring sense into yourself, then you know, one man will raise one day
who is so powerful who won't let anybody live.
Such things have happened in the past, hasn’t it?
Even now there are many, including you, waiting for this,
but fortunately you're not so capable.
If all of them became industrious, six billion people if they became industrious,
this pla...the way we are going, the type of activity that we're performing
on the planet, within probably 25 years the planet will be
finished if all the six billion people become extremely active.
Half of them are lazy; the lazy are saving the planet,
that’s not good you know.
The intelligents should save the planet, but the lazy and the useless are saving the
planet, that’s not a good way to survive, isn't it?
But that’s how it is happening right now.
So perfection; things will be perfect only if you and me are dead.
We are alive, there's no perfection, something can be done about it.
Isn't it so?
Yes?
When you go to your grave, you'll be perfect, but as long as you stand here alive,
there is something we can do about it, so we just trying to do that.
That’s a sign of aliveness that we still believe, we still see there is a room
for enhancing the possibility of life.
Now, ‘is this not enough?’
Actually within you, there is something within you
which will not settle for anything, do you see this?
Is it there or no?
You may try to kill it in so many ways, with so many philosophies,
but you can't kill it.
There is something in you which won't settle, which wants to... everything, nothing less
than everything less than the infinite it will not settle.
So I'm saying, why dont we give it a conscious expression?
Anyway it is finding an unconscious expression, why dont we give it a conscious expression?
Thats all the Yoga is about, youre already seeking it unconsciously.
We want to set up a process so that you seek it consciously.
Thats all the change were trying to do, is it better to seek something consciously than
unconsciously?
Its a better way to approach it?
