Speaker: We all know that anesthesia works, but we really don't know how it works.
And can you, can you shed some light on it?
Speaker: And now we see that some of the countries are wanting to recoil (Sadhguru laughs) and
say that globalization is not the right thing to do.
How would you suggest that what should be the way forward?
Speaker: Will we be the species who will disappear in this exciting, transitional world?
And what piece of advice can you share with us?
Sadhguru: Memory does not mean just what I remember and you remember.
Genetic memory is there, evolutionary memory is there, elemental memory is there, atomic
memory is there, karmic memory is there, inarticulate and articulate memories are there.
So, this is what we are referring to as karma, that the residual impact of memory, varieties
of memory – we recognize memory as eight basic forms of memory, which are determining
how you are right now – the very way you sit, stand, breathe, understand, perceive
life is determined by this memory.
But there is an intelligence beyond memory, which we call as sturia or chitta, this is
consciousness.
I believe, the next twenty-five to fifty years’ time, the struggle for survival will be obliterated
from this planet.
That is when a human being will truly rise because that is when the competence of a genuine
human being comes into play and that is the most important time for the human being, because
you can truly be a human being.
I feel if technology does everything that we are doing right now, we are on a holiday
of exploration.
It’s a real great world.
Why should we be striving for survival like other creatures (Applause)?
When making a living is not a challenge, you will see the human focus is towards they want
to make a difference.
Responsibility is a key word for the future.
I've been openly declaring this, this entire movement that what I'm doing in the world
is a movement from religion to responsibility, from looking up for solutions to looking inward
for solutions, both for our own individual solutions and the solutions for the world.
It's time we looked at ourselves as more responsible creatures because abundance is coming.
If along with abundance, there is irresponsibility, then that's going to be disastrous.
So that is the key element we need to change, a more conscious way of existence.
One thing is if you walk through the city, I'm sure there are hospitals, there are schools,
there are toilets and there is everything.
But do you have a place where there is a place for people to meditate?
There's no such thing.
Eastern societies invested heavily in the past in that direction.
But today, they are also emulating the West and trying to compete with them losing out
on this, but the need for inner well-being will become very strong in the next twenty,
twenty-five years.
When technology starts doing most of the things that you're doing and you don't know why you
exist, then the need for well-being become super strong.
So if we want to be ready for that day, it's very important that we invest both physical
infrastructure and human infrastructure, which focuses on the innermost core of who we are.
Sadhguru: Namaskaram.
You may be wondering why Sadhguru is wearing such a funny costume today.
This is not a costume.
This could be our condition.
This could be the condition of human beings in the next thirty years’ time.
