Say do you agree with me that our lives today?
As a generation of people has become far more comfortable and far more convenient
simply because of our understanding of science and
our
Exploitation of that knowledge as technology. Yes
We are the most comfortable generation ever in the history of humanity. No question about it, isn't it?
Yes, we are super empowered because of the science and technology
As it is a science and technology
For our external well-being there is a whole science and technology for inner well-being
unfortunately most cultures have ignored this and
thinking that if we make all the external arrangements well
Everything will be ok
The United States of America is a huge statement that this is not how it works
The most affluent country on the planet
70% of the population are supposed to be on prescription medication this when you understand life as a race
If you're in a race, what's subjective, you must reach the finish line quick, isn't it?
Yes, what is the finish line of your life death? And
Inherit this may not be a conscious process but life with the new is understanding it like that
When you see you must understand this whether you are conscious it of conscious of it or not any human being?
Right now if you make yourself miserable
You must understand you are sending a message to every cell in the body that I don't want to live
You might not have articulated it in your head yet
But when you become miserable
You notice suddenly your body seems heavy and it's like it doesn't want to get up from this chair
Have you seen this? Yes when you're happy you're willing to bounce at everything and do everything bend backwards if necessary
Why this is happening is the message has gone to every cell in the body. This guy wants to die
They're all thinking, okay, what can we do to help them but by then of course you'll recover
So you want to die you want to live you want to die you want to live?
Your body's getting confused
Because you must understand this is a very intelligent body
Taking instructions from you
Every cell in the body has an enormous sense of memory and intelligence
If you keep sending wrong messages if they act you did
Because you're sending contradictory messages. You are not dead. You're half dead
You can give it any number of exotic names essentially you have turned your intelligence against yourself
This is supposed to work for you, but now you turn it against yourself it's working against you
Let's say we turn off all the lights
If the lights are on you can whistle and just walk around wherever you want to miss building
Will turn off all the lights and make it pitch dark where you can't even see your own hand like that
Now every step that you take will you take it in at most alertness?
Will you be fully awake or asleep?
For awake fully awake. Why because you don't know where the next step just
To live like this if you simply live like this
Naturally you are on the highway to enlightenment
Everybody assume and believe because it's comfortable
To simply believe something the very word belief means this
That I have concrete concrete eyes assumptions of which I know nothing about
Isn't it so yeah
Either, you know, or you do not know where does the belief come from?
When you pretend what you do not know as I know
That's belief
But you can't believe something all by yourself
So you need a hundred people around you? That's why always believers are in groups
Seekers are alone
That's me about a seeker. Well, what is the seeker? Is that something useful to cultivate?
You don't have to cultivate this. This is intrinsic to human intelligence if you do not put yourself
With all kinds of things that you do not know as you know
Its intrinsic to human intelligence to seek
Isn't it? Yes, you don't have root each seeking you have to teach belief systems
You don't have to teach seeking if you don't teach anything
Everybody is the seeker. It is the nature of human intelligence. It naturally seeks
But people want to seek with the comfort of belief
they want to be in the belief system and then seek this is like tying your boat to the pier and then
growing hard say people have
Have divided the universe. This is important. This is not important. This person is important from in this person is not important
This is important for me. That's not important for me. You divided the universe you will never know anything this way
indiscriminate focus indiscriminate attention
I am not attending to you because you are somebody with the Cobra in your heart. All right?
He doesn't matter who I speak to who I am with I am the same way
indiscriminate
Only when your attention and involvement is indiscriminate
Does the universe open up to you?
You have discriminated
Naturally you close, you know people come to me and say Sadhguru. I want to walk the spiritual path. I
Say ok
Be here for three days. Let's see what we can then no sir. Good day after tomorrow. My uncle's daughter's birthday. I have to go
you want to get enlightened and
They are tomorrow uncle's daughter's birthday also. Alright, we got one and a half days
You do one thing you do this descenders. It's a century, but I don't like this
Alright and give them a small piece of paper and say okay write down things that you like we'll do only to do that
They won't believe it in this entire universe most people like only three or four things
When you're so constipated in your head
That you lack only three or four people are three or four things in your life
How do you want to open up to the existence?
Because life is happening because of its openness
This is a fundamental difference between death and life is
People are thinking is just breath
All right on one level that is also openness whether you allow this to happen or you don't allow it to happen
Whether you did it consciously or unconsciously, but it's happening
Isn't it openness is on every subatomic particle is in communication with everything?
That's why this is going on right this happening so much is happening in connection with everything. It is only in openness
you're alive as
You closed doors you are dying in installments
Dying in installments is torture
see
Life is fantastic if you're alive and fully alive
this may sound very
not so compassionate, but I'm saying
Everybody dies you and me will die. All right
if you dead is the game is over, but if you are half dead, oh
This is endless torture to yourself when you are being tortured, of course, you will share it with everybody else
Fundamentally if people understand that the source of human experience is within you
Joy are misery agony or ecstasy
pleasure or pain
Everything comes from within if you understand this much
if I understand
Suppose right now. I think I am miserable because of you
There's no solution for my life, isn't it?
Because all you have to do is walk in front of my home. I will become miserable
So simple it is you don't have to kill me you just have to walk around in front of me
I will die within myself every day
If I understand the source of my joy and misery within me
Then you know what's obvious choice
Obvious choice isn't it? So this one fundamental thing has to get across to all the human beings on this planet
Your experience is entirely determined by you
This is what the word karma means. Unfortunately. It's become something else here
karma means action that means
When we say if your life is your karma we are saying your life is entirely your making 100%
What happens in the world? There are many many forces involved what happens within me. It's 100 percent me
100 percent, isn't it?
If you don't take charge of this
Then you're an accidental knife when you're an accidental life things. Ayat E is very natural
So this is why consciousness means this that you have taken charge of the instruments of life
Which on most fundamental level is our physiological and psychological space you have taken charge of this?
Now your health your happiness your joy your ecstasy your misery. Everything is in your hands you
Exercise them as you want
