Sadhguru: So at a time like this, there is no nation which is fully prepared to handle a situation like this.
The richest nations in the world are trembling under the onslaught of the virus.
So definitely India for the kind of population and the concentration of population we have.
Definitely, we don't have a medical system and the economics to really provide everything for everybody for months on end.
No, that won't be possible. So the only way this can happen is that a cohesive action by the citizens.
As a part of this… as a part of this, the Prime Minister has given a call at 9 PM,
everybody should light a lamp or a candle, or at least flash your cell phone thing.
Please don't do your cell phone, not here. We will, we will put up a big fire show
because the element of fire in the Bhuta Shuddhi system of yoga and our ability to stand up as a strong life are very related.
If we want to find out whether you are alive or dead, we will check whether it's warm or cold.
That means whether the fire is on or gone.
Everything that you call as life on this planet is only because of the fire of the sun.
A fireball is burning there, only because of that life has happened.
All the other ingredients may be there. It's like cooking, everything may be there.
No fire, no cooking.
So life has cooked itself up mainly because of the fire of the sun.
The basic energy in the world is just that.
So using fire as a way keeping ourselves well is very much a part of the yogic system.
As you can take a water shower, you can also take a fire wash,
which we are doing as Kleshanashana kriya, it is producing incredible results for people.
As a nation, the Prime Minister is requesting us to have a little fire around you, at least for nine minutes.
You don't have to stop at nine minutes.
I am advising every one of you, keep a lamp in your bedroom, in a safe distance from you where you sleep
and let it burn every night, it will make a world of difference for you.
So otherwise, you must have a powerfully consecrated spaces which is like fire burning all the time.
Either this or that. One of the things must be done in every home.
Always a lamp used to be burning always in an Indian home.
Now unfortunately because people are seeing it as a, an act of a particular religion,
others don't want light, otherwise others don't want to light a lamp because
if you light a lamp you may get converted. This is just stupid.
Well, I think some religion may claim water, then don't have shower, don't wash your hands(Laughs)
because it is part of some religion. Before they pray they wash their hands.
So you don't wash your hands because if you do this, you will get converted to that religion.
This is just stupid. So every doctor is saying wash your hands.
Does it mean to say he's asking you to get convert yourself to Islam or something?
Everybody washes their hands, everybody uses fire in their homes.
This is most important thing is apart from what benefit it has, the most important thing is right now
what decides we successfully get across the situation or not is how cohesively India acts like one person.
This is the only solution for us.
We don't have enough hospital beds, we don't have enough ICU’s, we don't have enough ventilators.
If millions of people fall sick tomorrow, we just will have to let them die.
That's all the option will be. So let's not take it there.
It's very important we all come together, irrespective of your religious beliefs, political ideologies, whatever nonsense you are (Laughter/Applause).
Let's do one sensible thing that we stand together as one nation because right now virus is not making any distinction.
Whether you are this religion or that religion, what is your ideology, it doesn't check.
It is going at everybody.
Started in communist China, now invading capitalist America. You can't stop it.
It's not a communist virus (Laughs). It has no ideology, no religion, it just goes for you.
So let us also go for it, as one, this is important.
We will tell you what we will be doing at the Yoga Center. Most probably we will also live webcast it.
So please watch out and be with us. We will take that ahead.
