Sadhguru: A certain scientist in United States
was working on the impact of cannabis on human consciousness.
For almost eighteen years
the United States Government gave him 30 kgs of Marijuana per year to experiment .
Eighteen years of experimentation he produced nothing.
So during the late eighties when the drug situation was getting bad
and they cut this quota
30 kgs of marijuana that they were giving to him nothing doing
we don’t know where it is going, this 30 kgs.
Because you have done nothing.
He tried to explain that he has done so many things
but still it has not come to conclusion
but they said nothing doing and cut the marijuana quota.
So he moved to Israel.
The Israel government looked at his work
and they decided to give him.
So they gave him the same thirty kilos of marijuana
for another six to eight years.
Then he came up with this:
He actually produced proof
that within the human brain,
every human brain
there are millions of cannabis receptors
so this information
what to with this they do not know
they threw it across
they gave it to anthropologists
they gave it to the physiologists
they gave it to the neurologists
they gave it to all kinds of people.
There are millions of cannabis receptors in the human brain
what is the explanation?
How?
Why?
So anthropologists said may be at some point in history
may be everybody was doping,
which cannot be;
because in many parts of the world it doesn’t even grow.
So various kinds of explanations came;
nothing sensible came out of it.
Then the neurologists
after about two and a half years of looking into this in various levels
they said when human being is in a certain state of experience
the human system itself
produces the necessary chemicals for which it is waiting.
So these millions of cannabis receptors are waiting for you to produce it.
Those who could not produce it
they tried to put it from outside
and damaged the system.
Look at me I am always blissed out.
Look into my eyes and see I am stoned.
Never been on any substance but always stoned.
Because the very system does this.
So in india there has been enormous –
in the yogic systems
there has been enormous focus on the pineal gland you know?
You know the pineal gland?
For a long time
the modern medicine almost ignored it.
They said there are so many things in this body
which we are not bothered about.
Because it is not concerned about day to day health situations.
Today the maximum that they have come to is
they are beginning to say
this secretions of the pineal gland
if they are on
if they are active
there will be no mood swings in you.
That’s not the point.
There is a whole system of yoga
to activate the pineal gland
if you activate this
and if it generates sufficient amount of secretion
you will be ecstatic every moment of your life.
Simply every cell in your body will be bursting
all the time.
Now when you are like this,
if you eat, if you don’t eat,
if you sleep, if you don’t sleep,
nothing matters.
Because you are blissed out. (Laughs)
In this state everything is effortless
just doesn’t matter
you can function at your best
because you can effectively use your body and mind at its best.
There is enough medical proof for this.
Only when you are in utmost pleasantness
otherwise you cannot use your body;
you cannot use your mind to its fullest.
Both this body and this mind will
you can explore the full potential of what it is
only when you are in a sustained level of pleasantness within you.
Otherwise you are a damn issue by yourself.
All the time you are an issue by yourself,
it doesn’t work.
So whatever the effort that a human being is making
whether he goes to the temple
goes to the bar
wants to go to the heaven
this is the whole effort isn’t it?
Isn’t this the whole effort?
He wants something larger than what is happening now to happen to him
isn’t it so?
Is not the reason why he is drinking
why he is praying
why he is drugging
and why he thinks he wants to go to heaven?
He wants something more to happen isn’t it?
Look at this simply
something more will happen
only if your perception is enhanced.
Not otherwise.
Is that so?
So the whole system of yoga
is only focused towards enhancing the perception.
If your perception is enhanced
something more you don’t have to look for it.
It is happening in such proportions
you have to learn to handle it.
Big things will happen
