- My name's Jay Shetty and I have the honor
to be with Kailash Satyarthi who has dedicated
his whole life to saving children from child labor
and child trafficking, now over 88,000 children
and was recognized as the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize winner.
- My purpose is simple and clear,
that every child should be free to be a child.
Free to laugh, free to cry, free to do everything
which I or you did in your life.
- My purpose, quite simply, is to make wisdom go viral.
So that everyone has the opportunity to find their passion
and live their purpose and use it to serve others
and serve humanity.
- Passion is an emotional desire or drive
for someone or for something.
- My definition of passion is what brings you alive
and usually we find it practically between
what we're good at and what we love.
When those two things come together
that's where we find our passion.
- Freedom is a gift of God.
But for me freedom is drive, freedom is truth,
freedom means happiness.
- I don't think anyone understands freedom
better than Kailash so, I'm gonna let him have that one.
I'm not even going to try.
I'd be doing something like this.
I love to be sitting right in front of the camera
and be able to share a message
with anyone who is watching at the time.
I would want the last words
that came from my mouth to be meaningful.
I'd like the last thoughts in my mind to be service.
And I'd like the last feelings in my heart
to be compassion, empathy and love.
- I'm holding his hand, my wife, Sumedha, is sitting here.
I'll go and hug everyone.
But if I go back India and I'm given only one hour
then I will immediately jump to rescue
at least one child from slavery,
at least one child could be restored
with his or her childhood.
So I start with hearing the words of my heart
and can see that mind will follow me.
If mind will start following me
then others will follow my mind and me both.
- If an intention of my decision is envy or greed or ego
that's when I feel I'm making the wrong decision.
And when a decision or an intention behind a decision
is based on love or compassion or empathy or collaboration
that's when I feel I'm making the right decision.
I believe we created a definition of success
that was about gaining, getting
and about rising up the ladder
and our definition of success became about wanting things.
And so that switch really happens when we switch away
from a desire for material success
to deeper forms of service.
I often say that you become successful by what you get,
but you become happy by what you give.
- We have made enormous progress in society, in life,
lots of advancement in technology, in knowledge.
But now this is the time to think about simplicity of life,
caring for each other as I said,
forgiveness is the key thing
which we can learn from our children.
And more importantly we should not stop thinking
that we know enough, we never know enough.
If we remain children, I think the world
would be much more beautiful.
- So Kailash, it's always an honor speaking with you
and I'm really grateful that I got
to spend time with you this week.
And I was fortunate enough the other day
to see the premiere of his movie
that just came out yesterday, it's called The Price of Free.
And when I went to see it with some of my friends,
all of us, by the end of it, were in tears.
It's such a moving piece about child trafficking
and child labor.
But often I find that a lot of us when we see these movies,
we actually feel helpless,
but this one did something totally different to us.
It really made me feel hopeful that we were able
to make a step forward that we are going to make a change.
And the best part I loved about it
is that we're not only hopeful in you and your team,
but we're hopeful because we can actually
be a part of that change.
- Many people think that slavery
has been abolished 100 years ago, but it is not true.
The reality is that millions and millions of our children,
our children, are trapped into slavery.
The movie will give you the inspiration
how can you be the partner in change
and how you can ensure that in your lifetime
you will see the end of this scourge from
the face of humankind, the scourge of child slavery.
