in
this culture, we always insisted education,
health and spiritual process should never be commercialized
this is always been the norm
but we said this
when these things used to be sponsored by a king
or somebody he sponsored the education
he sponsored the hospitals
he sponsored spiritual process
so no charge for the people
because it was sponsored by somebody
those concepts have disappeared in democratic societies
so everybody has to handle their own economics
and whether it comes from your pocket or my pocket
somebody is spending for every activity
that happens in the world
so that goes for medicine too
particularly because of technology
and of course there are many gray areas
technology costs
Diagnostics is costing more than the treatment today
but because of this
many things have been caught in time
otherwise most people would die without a diagnosis
people are always thinking there is more cancer today
definitely there may be
most probably
but I think it's also a question of Diagnostics
it's also a question of people living longer
when people died early
of course they died healthy
oh now when people are moving into 80's and 90's
of course they're having very various issues
so one aspect that's happened is
medicine or health has become an expensive process
modern medicine is a culprit in this big time
because we have taken a complete turn towards it
we should have gone towards it selectively
where it is necessary yes
selectively means there is one norm
we could have employed
I'm not saying this is a perfect norm
but we could have
there is as you know there is
there are infectious diseases and chronic ailments
how we see this
in the yogic way of seeing it is
infections are an innovation from outside
you have to wage a war against them
for that you need a doctor and medicine
chronic ailments are something that
we manufacture from within
for this you need awareness, you need yoga
you need observation of what's happening in your system
of your lifestyle
how you sit, how you stand
how you breathe -everything you need to observe
if this distinction was made and
we enforced it in every society
then medicine would not have been so expensive
in many ways
with vaccinations and various other things
that we have done largely infectious-disease
they're very small isn't it
today most of the elements are chronic
isn't it so?
self-made in a way
chronic means it's coming from within us
when every cell in this body is geared and
you know kind of programmed for help
why is it ill health happening
obviously we are doing something fundamentally wrong with life.
In the yogic system,
we are looking at it like this
if you keep this body in total ease
almost every chronic ailment that you have
it will handle by itself
if you give that much space to it
otherwise if it is not in ease
how is it?
it is in disease
so it's a disease,
but now ,
we are treating everything we think
when I said this about psychological ailments,
because you talked about media,
the Bangalore media has been after me for last one and a half years
because I just said this
you are fundamentally responsible for your psychological well-being
-just this one sentence
they've been campaigning against me
for the last one and a half years
so recently when I went
again it came up in some kind of a conversation
so I said see
you were saying something more dramatic
but for example
millions of people have died of cardiac problems
millions and millions have gone through cardiac surgeries
but today
doctors are busy telling everybody
if you don't eat red meat
if you exercise every day
if you do this this and this
most probably you will not come to my surgery table
and it is so
millions have not gone there
simply because they are maintaining
a responsible way of living in some way
so their argument is that
psychological ailments are medical problems
you cannot solve it by your responsibility.
I'm saying if you behave irresponsibly
every one of you can go crazy right now yes or no
every one of you can get sick within the next few days
if you behave irresponsibly yes or no
is it possible or no
so this should have happened
when modern medicine developed
we got little too over excited about it and
we thought a doctor is a solution for everything
no
health is your fundamental responsibility
when it crosses a line
you seek some professional help
but daily health must be your business
keeping yourself healthy must be 100% your business
suppose you contract something
something else happened
either because of genetic reasons
or congenital reasons
or infections
something came then the
doctor should step in
but right now
doctor is there in your life
from your childhood till you die
you will not be healthy ,you will just be a patient
this is not a good way to go
so I think this distinction has to come
it is beginning to happen slowly
doctors are looking at more holistic way of treating
but it's still a small movement
I think it should become a much larger movement
then when that happens
then the expense of being healthy goes down
I think this animosity
towards doctors will also go down
but you're just telling the wrong guy
because guru bashing is way bigger than doctor bashing endlessly
just anything and everything
that a man can do and cannot do
people accuse me off
so right now we are
because I thought some idiots say something
what's the big deal
but it's it's picked up certain momentum
so just today morning
I was looking at it and
we're putting this on our website
all the accusations that are going on for 27 years
by you know very motivated western groups
which are going on obviously
they're well funded
so we're putting all those things
on our our own website
all the accusations and all the realities of
what it is endless things
I must tell you
this will be interesting for medical people
I have stolen over seven million kidney still now
you better have yourself checked up
one kidney may be missing right now
like this
we've destroyed a whole rain forest
nobody knows where the rain forest is
we have killed over
people's said you killed over 100 elephants
then I said see it's a fact that I don't have a firearm
so I kill them with my bare hands
see look at me
100 elephants with my bare hands
you know in tamil nadu
in ancient tamil culture
a real man means
aayiram yaanai konnavan (Tamil word)
this means one who has slain thousand elephants
he's a real man
I said I'm getting there
so like this it goes on
endlessly so we are putting this out as slander without substance
endlessly slander goes on
I don't think they would dare to go
against you so much because
they may have to come to yo.
With me they go take much more liberties
(laughs) Sadhguru are we all manufactured differently?
can we be Einstein or?
I mean there is a difference between how we are born and what we are capable of
is it possible that we can ,
we be born as iPhone model 1 or iPhone model 2
or iPhone model 3
Sadhguru: well, Albert Einstein that you mentioned
towards the end of his life
when he was asked if he's given a second chance
what would he like to be
he said I would rather be a plumber than be a physicist
really so
can I be an Einstein?
maybe not
because as I said earlier
when it comes to body
and when it comes to mind
we are all different
no two human beings are equal
when it comes to external activity
no two human beings are equal
what I can do you cannot do
what you can do I cannot do
this is the way the world is
and it's wonderful that way
but when it comes to inner possibilities
all of us are equally competent
now he was talking about being blissful
can everybody here be equally blissful or
absolutely blissful yes 100%
can everybody here become a great surgeon
or a great athlete
or great something else in activity
no it'll never happen
because that's different
so when it comes to physical competence and
intellectual competence we are all different
when it comes to inner dimensions
there is simply no difference
so I am saying
what is at hand exploit it first
first become blissful
then we see what the hell you can do
even if you don't do anything
if you are just blissful
people will need you just for that isn't it so?
hello
this is a simple this is a simple thing

if you were given a choice
would you like to live and work with joyful people or miserable people
I want you to please please please remember
everybody else is expected the same thing
