Questioner: Sadhguru, I have seen almost all of your videos in YouTube channels
(Laughter).
I feel totally familiar with most of the things that you talk in the videos.
Sadhguru: Familiar (Laughs)? All right!
Questioner: So do I really need to attend the Inner Engineering program (Laughter/Applause)?
Sadhguru: It once happened (Laughter).
Shankaran Pillai came to the (Cheers/Applause)...
Shankaran Pillai came to the Mahamudra restaurant in Isha Life, Chennai, tch.
This elaborate menu which runs into five, six pages - he read all that carefully,
and then he asked, “I’ve read the whole menu, do I really have to eat” (Laughter/Applause)?
You know, there is a difference between reading the menu
and eating and digesting the food
-enjoying the taste, digesting it, getting the nourishment into your body
-there is a difference!
YouTube videos are titillation
–tch, just to tickle you a little bit (Laughter), because
the world is not in a condition of sensitivity to life,
where they would naturally see the need to look for something profound.
Today I'm seeing the food apps ''2019 - Start the year, with one month no cooking month.
Just order - one month we’ll give you discount. Every day we will supply what you want.
You don't have to cook for one month.''
So that's where we are going.
I'm saying the whole culture across the world is in this direction.
So the menu has to be really long for them to choose.
they are certain kind of people.
Tch, what kind of people are they?
Somebody is a coffee person, somebody is a tea person, somebody is a sukku-coffee person (Laughter)
-like this, somebody is this person, that person
-I'm saying people have taken to variety of things.
So we are writing about coffee also, about tea also, about headache also, about mysticism also,
about spiritual process also, about death also, about life also
-because it takes such a long menu today to get everybody's attention.
So you read the menu and you think you are nourished - that will be sad.
Inner engineering is a structured process, to bring it into your life
-to bring it into your head, YouTube videos are okay;
to make it a part of your life you need a strong practice.
You need a profound system, so that it becomes a part of your life process not just your thought process.
