Sadhguru: See, if you're postponing something, you are obviously doing something that you
don’t want to do.
If there is something that you really want to do, will you postpone it or pre-pone it?
Hello?
Participants: Pre-pone it.
Sadhguru: Do you see somebody is waiting for someone they badly want to see, only ten minutes,
in that ten minutes they will look at the watch twenty-five times.
Why?
They want to pre-pone it.
You are doing something that you don’t want to do, so you want to postpone it.
I’m asking why the hell are you doing something that you don’t want to do?
No, because if I do this, I will get that, I will get that.
That’s not the point.
There is nothing to get in this life.
There’s really nothing to get in this life.
Either you lived this life in a profound and intense manner or you did not.
What will you get in the end?
Hmm?
If somebody dies in the agricultural college, do they bury them or fire them?
How is it?
What’s the tradition?
Burying is good for agriculture because human beings make good manure.
So in the end what will happen to you and me?
They will either bury us or burn us, that’s all will happen in the end.
You think something else, they’ll give you a prize?
Nothing will happen in the end.
Only thing is the process of life, how wonderfully did you live, that’s all there is.
So if you are doing something really wonderful, do you want to pre-pone it or postpone it?
Hmm?
Pre-pone only!
So you must find what is it that you really want to do,
if you find that one thing, you will always pre-pone everything, not postpone (Laughs).
Sadhguru: I was…
Three days ago I was in Dubai and then I came to Bangalore.
The temperatures in Dubai were clearly five to six degrees lower than Bangalore.
I enquired, “What happened to Dubai?
Why the hell is it not burning” (Laughter)?
They said last few years they’ve been doing lot of cloud seeding.
Because of this there’s a cloud cover
and the little breeze from the ocean, the place feels very cool and nice.
The Karnataka government did some cloud seeding a few years ago.
I don’t remember exactly which year, but they did.
Then they gave up because it rained in Andhra Pradesh (Laughter/Applause).
What to do, the damn clouds,
they don’t stick to state borders (Laughter).
instead of doing the right things right things means the way it works
there’re whole lot of people who are geared to do fanciful things
because it’s the fancy of their imagination or culture
or religion or whatever.
So, if you want to set up a distribution system, of course,
the transportation is best that it goes in a straight line
unless there is Himalayas in the way because the shortest distance between two
points is always a straight line.
Hmm?
From here to there if you want to go, you don’t have to go like this (Gestures).
That’s okay for the snake (Few laugh) because he has other purpose on the way.
Transportation must be as far as possible straight lines
because it shortens the distance, lowers the cost
and lowers the time consumed, quickens everything.
So, you draw a triangle and you go like this and go like this (Gestures).
You want to go to Bangalore, you go to Chennai and go to Bangalore,
you’ll have a triangle, reasonably perfect triangle (Laughs).
But that’s not called a distribution system.
If someday if somebody gives me the money to build a whole new city - tch,
I’ve been waiting (Few laugh) - if someone gives me money to build a whole
new city, I would make that city into a powerful yantra.
It can be done.
But, now in the existing reality you want to setup a supply chain,
you don’t go about building a yantra - not in that pattern.
There are a few things we can do but…
No, we have to work with the existing realities.
So whatever research you’re doing -
distribution systems - there are many other ways to look at it.
You can say yantra because yantra always starts from a central point
and geometrical expansion.
Well, it may make sense, but it also depends on already the existing
centers, where things are needed, isn’t it?
You draw a yantra road map on India and instead of delivering goods in Chennai
you deliver it in Bay of Bengal (Few laugh).
What’s the point?
Because the yantra triangle goes there, instead of Chennai you deliver it near Andaman,
what is the point?
your life’s effort (Laughs) - if you are a researcher,
or you are anybody your life’s effort is to be
how to make complicated things simple, not simple things complicated.
Lot of spiritual teaching has become like this,
simplest things they complicate and it becomes spiritual.
If you are You know,
if you flew kites - did you?
No?
You were researching (Laughter)?
What is this, you didn’t fly a kite?
You don’t know what you missed, go and fly in this June-July.
Instead of doing some research take a break and fly a kite.
Chinese manjaa (Referring to Hindi word – thread) is available now in the market (Laughter).
If you fly a kite…
You know these days they got all rollers and… those roller people will never fly
a kite well.
Tch, we all have it around the bamboo.
It’s a certain thing to keep the thread like that.
Otherwise, little mess you do, it’ll get all knotted up.
It’s just a single string but it gets all knotted up.
And the more you rush around, you can never untangle it,
it’ll become a big mess.
Simple straight thread, it becomes such a complex net.
As it is with life, simple straight line
from womb to tomb, straight line (Laughter) -
is there any complication in this (Laughs)?
If you were going to one place, I was going to another place,
crisscrossing routes, there was some complication.
Just womb to tomb – straight line (Laughter).
See how people are tangling it up in a million different ways (Laughs).
So don’t tangle up the supply system of this country, okay?
We already have meandering roads, tch.
This is because in ancient times,
they did not make roads.
Bullock cart highways.
You know, India had bullock cart highways few thousand
years ago.
The Grand Trunk Road, some of them even today are national highways
what used to be bullock cart roads at one time.
The Northern trunk road which goes somewhere from Delhi up to Calcutta,
even today is highway number one.
So, when bullock carts went, it’s animals which have to drive.
Even a small mound, they went this way because it was easier for
the animal.
There was no six hundred BHP engine.
There’re just two oxen.
So even a little hill they went his way, a little mound they went that way.
They didn’t want to go downslope because it’s hard on the animal.
No brakes, you know?
Animal is the brake.
So they went that way, that way, that way (Gestures)
and towns got built up along this road.
So, when we made new roads, we didn’t have the heart to leave out the
towns and make a new road.
So we went along with that and all our roads became like this, like that,
like that, like that (Gestures) because everywhere there are towns and towns
- supply chain, you know (Laughs)?
Bullock cart was the supply chain.
So, now when we made our national highways, we tried to make it little straighter,
but still one town here, one town there,
one town… so we made like this, like this, like this,
like this (Gestures showing a zigzag pattern).
We could make from Delhi to Kanyakumari pkhew (Gestuers) one arrow,
only thing is, only those who are going to Kanyakumari can go (Few laugh).
On the way nobody else can use the road because it is not touching any of the major
cities.
So it may look little… not so sensible to go this way, this way, this way,
but here there is Ahmadabad, here there is Mumbai,
here there is Bangalore, here there is something else (Gestures),
you got to touch all of them.
Otherwise, there is no supply chain (Laughs).
So, supply chain is just an arrangement to see how efficiently things get to people.
You don’t have to think up anything.
If you observe your body, look at the supply chain to every…
Even your fingernails are still growing or are they…
I know you’ve lost your hair but (Laughter) your fingernails…
It’s a clear sign blood is not reaching (Laughter)…
There is a supply chain inside.
To every fingernail it’s going, isn’t it so?
What every part of the body needs, is it going or no?
Just observe your body, you have the best supply chain diagram.
