Narendra Modi: This hundred-and-twelve feet face of Adiyogi and the Yogeshwar Linga.
In the times to come, the place where we have gathered is going to be a source of inspiration for all.
Karnam Malleshwari: (in Tamil)
Rakul Preet Singh: It’s an honor, Sadhguru, to be sitting here in front of you
and being able to have a conversation with you.
Sadhguru: Many, many, many layers and dimensions of life.
For this you need an attention which will penetrate through all this
and show you what it is about.
Kiran Mazumdar Shaw: What are your words on morality and integrity?
Sadhguru: I don’t have both of them (Laughter). I operate out of my humanity.
Kiran Mazumdar Shaw: Well said (Applause).
Sadhguru: I stand on the platform of my humanity and try to touch my divinity,
This is how I live.
Sadhguru: BSF has introduced yoga in the place of physical training.
The whole world is turning towards India for inner well-being.
Our soldiers and our officers must have the best capability
to manage their mind and their interiority.
This ability must be given to our forces for the job that they’re doing,
which is crucial for the making of this nation.
Over 4000 full-time volunteers who are here and
over seven million part-time volunteers who have done many things.
They have spent money from their own pockets and the amount of time and effort
that they have put in.
I think for all of them, this is a wonderful acknowledgement,
that they’re not being ignored by the nation.
Sadhguru: (unclear) .. we are talking about bullock carts and traffic jams (laughter)
First you have to work upon the scientist.
The scientist has to work upon himself to enhance himself.
Without enhancing this machine, which perceives everything,
you try to enhance everything else. How will that work?
Whichever way this one is (referring to oneself)
that’s how it’ll perceive, isn't it?
The significance of being in a technological institute is not about just getting qualified
to get some job somewhere, or a passport out of the country.
It should become a way of creating life.
Making life happen better than the way it is happening right now, because this is a
fundamental responsibility that we have as a generation of people.
Interviewer: Do you see yourself as a politician?
Sadhguru: (Laughs) Do you want me to stand for an election?
No I will not, because my election is in the hearts and minds of people, not in the ballot box.
Arnab Goswami: I made a mistake Sadhguru (Sadhguru laughs).
My mistake is that I am constructing a studio for our channel Republic.
I constructed it in Lower Parel. Can you tell me the way to Chamundi Hill please?
(Sadhguru and audience laugh)
Sadhguru: I can make it happen wherever you are (Arnab Goswami laughs).
For the first time... for the first time in seventy years,
Across the spectrum of parties, of all kinds of ideologies, have come together
in one voice and rallying for rivers for the first time.
We want to make this rally happen in a celebratory way, in a joyful way.
You must promise me you will not destroy Karnataka.
The political leadership in the country is making a clear statement
that they’re beyond their personal ideologies and opinions.
The entire nation responded. The media responded wonderfully.
All the national icons of film and sport responded.
I think they made a big difference in the whole process.
We wish to congratulate and express our gratitude to all of them (Applause).
Above all, all of you, the volunteers, Isha volunteers across the country (Applause).
You're quite crazy (few laugh), that’s a good qualification (Laughter).
Sadhguru: You must make this happen, Mumbai!
It is our business to see, that what is needed for individual well-being
is in the hands of an individual, not in the hands of organizations,
or priests, pundits, or gurus. But it’s in the hands of each individual.
Please take this up and make this happen. Enhance your own lives and all the lives around you.
Sadhguru: Oh, what a shot!
Erik Solheim: To me you are the incarnation of the sustainable development goals,
because while there... while there are seventeen of them,
they’re all at the end about these two – people and planet.
Uplift the people, and protect the planet, and that’s your mission
So thank you so much. People and planet!
