Sadhguru: At one point, Krishna says like this,
that where people sing, laugh, cry, dance without any sense of hesitation or shame,
such people will purify the universe. (Cheers/Applause)
So this is not just a celebration, this is also purification of the world.
It is been most fantastic having all of you here.
If every day in your life, no matter what is the nature of your work,
what is the nature of our life situations,
if you can remain playful like this, exuberant like this, you are liberated, that is what it means.
The daily process of life is taking more toll than it should on most human beings.
To eat, to sleep, maybe reproduce or choose not to and die one day, we are making too much fuss.
This Mahashivratri, it is my wish and my blessing,
this should become a turning point for you, to take your life little more playfully.
You are too dead serious, that is the whole problem about too many things.
Well, you can live death joyfully, whether you like it or not, this is a dying self.
Either you can live death joyfully or you can become dead serious and suffer everything that happens to you.
Well,
this many people with such a sense of involvement, exuberance and participation,
I do not think it happens anywhere else.
I hope it happens in many places, I hope thishappens all over the world,
not just here; because this is what is needed that we can be together without knowing who you are,
joyfully, no matter who you are, what you are; but it is possible for human beings to be like this.
So this night what you have lived please make it a part of your life
and see how you can include anybody and everybody
into this because this is what the world needs, the world needs a little more playfulness.
This being damn serious about everything, making small things so big, little things in life are taking people's lives.
Like the Vice President was mentioning – there are huge numbers of people taking their own lives; suicide.
Children below eighteen years of age committing suicide in India;
below fifteen years of age nearly 8,000 children committed suicide last year, below fifteen years of age.
So, obviously the problem is, we are taking everything too seriously,
even the stupid schooling we are taking very seriously.
Yes.
So, this is a possibility that if you do a little bit of work,
Adiyogi has offered us innumerable ways of how you can transform the very energy that you are.
Your geometry, your chemistry and your energies can be transformed
into such an alignment with everything around you that life becomes utterly playful.
And I want you to remember it is a brief sparkle of life that you have;
before you were born, you were dead for a very long time;
and when you die, you will be dead for a very, very long time.
You are alive for a very brief amount of time.
This time should happen in a most pleasant and wonderful way
to yourself and everybody else around you; this is what Mahashivratri is about.
So you have demonstrated it is possible for you.
It does not matter who is next to you,
not knowing their name, not knowing where they come from, what they have done in their life,
you can sing and dance with them.
You have demonstrated this, that it is possible.
Please let's make it happen in your lives and in the world that we live in.
There cannot be a better crowd anywhere,
in such a mass of people,
absolute discipline and joy, this is truly wonderful.
This is the kind of world that we need to create, that
we can be with just about any kind of people, joyfully; this is what is needed.
Don't put too many, too many conditions on your joy, this is the important thing.
Do not put too many conditions; I am not joyful because this person said this, that person said that,
he did this, he did that,
they passed a law in this country, well, everything you can conduct joyfully.
Joyful does not mean you give up purpose of life.
You can pursue whatever purpose you want to, much more efficiently if you are playful and joyful.
This is what is important.
Make use of this night as a foundation to create that for yourself and everybody else around you.
