WATCH THIS EVERY DAY Motivational Speech By Sadhguru YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS

the word yoga means union

union means

whether you are aware of it or you’re

not aware of it right now you’re

happening here as a part of everything

else what the trees exhale your inhaling

what you exhale the trees are inhaling

not just on the level of respiration on

all levels this is happening

what you think as myself is just a

psychological boundary that you have set

up so yoga means consciously

obliterating the boundaries of your

individuality

so if you sit here

if you experience everything around you

as myself this is yoga

if you experience all this as myself

myself

do you need morality

be good to people don’t harm them don’t

do this don’t do that would it be

necessary no

did anybody teach you out of these five

fingers this is a small finger don’t cut

it off is this a morality needed like

that anything that you feel is a part of

yourself with that you don’t need any

values ethics morals nothing because

it’s a part of you this is what yoga

means you experience everything as a

part of you when somebody experiences

the whole universe as a part of himself

then we say he’s a yogi

[Music]

charles darwin said

that you evolved out of a monkey

you were a monkey then you became a man

some of the genetic scientists are

saying this

that the difference the dna difference

between a chimpanzee and you is only

1.23

so in that sense physiologically you’re

only 1.23

away from a chimpanzee not a big

difference isn’t it a shade

it’s just a shade of difference but in

terms of intelligence and awareness you

are worlds apart from a chimpanzee

so your problem is just this you have an

intelligence for which you don’t have a

stable enough platform and that’s why

yoga

to create a stable platform

so that your intelligence works for you

right now you may call it so many things

so many exotic names have come up

stress tension anxiety depression

madness all kinds of things

all this essentially what it means is

your intelligence has turned against you

that’s all

you can give any number of reasons but

essentially your intelligence has turned

against you if your intelligence was

working for you would you create

blissfulness or misery

plus this all why your intelligence is

turned against you there’s no stable

enough base

so the entire yogic system is about this

that you create a stable base so that

your intelligence works for you if your

intelligence turns against you no power

in the universe is going to save you you

are a done thing

if you become what you make up

unfortunate isn’t it

[Music]

yeah

you your thoughts belong to you or you

belong to the thoughts you must make up

your mind

they can be dangerous those thoughts

they’re not dangerous

they’re fantastic

only thing is fantastic things

mishandled can kill you

car can kill you isn’t it it’s a

wonderful thing an automobile

[Music]

it’s made our lives

if you handle it irresponsibly it kills

you

every possibility is like this

every possibility if you do not harness

it it becomes a problem

so the same goes for your cerebral

capability if you do not harness it it’s

a serious problem

it’s taking away

80 percent of the human beings are

simply suffering

they don’t need any outside help

their own self-help

i understand when i say i’m thinking

this you another word another way of

saying it is i’m making up this i’m

making up that

you can make up whatever you want as

long as you enjoy it

to transform your life you want to do it

in two minutes

so is that what your life is worth

so if your life is worthwhile is it not

important that you invest a certain

amount of time and energy

rather than looking for this stupid

stuff of one mantra with which i will

transform my life

it will not happen like that that’s the

reason why most people have remained the

way they have remained because they have

not invested in their well-being

[Music]

so it’s a serious long-term investment

it is not long term i would say

if i ask you is your life worthwhile

enough to invest

30 to 32 hours of focused time to bring

some basic transformation within you

if i teach you a way where you can

manage your chemistry the way you want

but we need 32 hours of focus time do

you think your life is valuable enough

for that much investment i’m asking

yes then you must invest that’s what is

called an engineering program

it’s 32 hours of focus time

we can format it in different ways but

that much investment has to go in

all human experience comes from within

isn’t it i don’t know what kind of

geniuses start these things i know in

america there must be a million books

telling you how to

you know milk happiness from something

else or somebody else

but

all human experiences generated from

within

[Music]

what comes from within you must be the

way you want it isn’t it

isn’t that simple enough i’m asking yes

what comes from around you

may not be the way you want it

but what comes from within you must be

the way you want it if whatever happens

within you the way you want it will you

be blissed out or miserable

[Music]

blessed out

see most people understand

complexity has intelligence

if they make themselves difficult

they are supposed to be intelligent

making a simple thing difficult

is not intelligence making a very

complex thing simple is intelligence

isn’t it

so wrong sense of intelligence idea of

intelligence has entered people’s minds

they think if they make a problem out of

every solution they’re intelligent no no

if you find solutions for every problem

that is intelligence that’s my

understanding

so essentially this whole

this whole attitude and questioning and

this kind of thing has happened to the

world in a big way because

our education is confusing people

to make them believe that memory is

intelligence memory is not intelligence

memory is useful as data

but intelligence is a different

dimension we have gobbled this up that

we have made children believe from a

very early age if you remember something

you are smart

no no

a tape recorder can remember everything

this camera can remember everything this

doesn’t mean it’s intelligent

so

one

major aspect of my work is to separate

these two in your within your experience

your memory and your intelligence are

two different things if you have an

intelligence which is unsullied by

memory you will see everything just the

way it is

but if you look at everything through

the filters of your memory everything is

prejudiced

people who are all this is fine but

what’s the take away

they want a commandment

we are talking about consciousness

commandments won’t fly

commandments means you’re trying to fix

your life

consciousness means you want to liberate

your life

my intention is you must liberate your

life

people come and say sadhguru please

teach us how to control my mind say you

want your mind controlled or liberated

oh yes yes liberated but how to control

because they think

that intelligence is a serious problem

and it’s been in their lives

so what is the solution if you remove a

part of your brain you will be fine

you’re essentially complaining i wish i

had the brain of an earthworm this human

brain i am not able to handle yes that

is a fact

we have come to a place where

to grow our food we need chemicals

to be healthful we need chemicals today

70 of the population is on prescription

medication of some sort

to be peaceful we need chemicals to be

joyful we need chemicals to be ecstatic

of course you have ecstasy

so we are going towards chemicals in a

huge way the water that you drink is

full of chemicals the air that you

breathe is like that and the food that

you eat is like that

so

if 90 of humanity

goes into chemical consumption

consciously or unconsciously if they

consume a lot of it

the next generation that we produce

will be of a lesser quality than who we

are

what i am saying is

the important thing about life whether

it’s a grasshopper out there or you

both of us are striving to be the

fullest possible life that we can be a

grasshopper is trying to be a

full-fledged grasshopper a human being

is trying to be a full-fledged human

being

so suppose you cut off one of

grasshopper’s legs which supposed to hop

the hopping leg if you take it off

have you enhanced its life i’m asking

you

no no

so similarly for a human being if you

take away any of his faculties

in any way even temporarily have you

enhanced his life

no

so intoxication is just that it is

taking away your faculties for a period

of time but if you continuously do it

it’ll take it away for your life so

you’re taking away or subjugating your

faculties for a little bit of pleasure

or maybe a lot of pleasure whatever you

wish to describe it but the important

thing is you’re taking a backward step

with life because life can only be

enhanced by sharpening and increasing

our faculties not by decreasing our

faculties our ability to

be active

physically mentally emotionally

spiritually if this is in any way

crippled this means we are taking a

backward step

though there may be pleasure attached to

it

every human being wants his life

enhanced

if you don’t show them proper ways to

enhance

they will find shortcuts see a man who

goes to the bar and a man who goes to a

church or a temple or whatever

they’re seeking the same thing they’re

trying to enhance their life

isn’t it

if you do not show them a proper way

they will take whatever ways are

available on the street that’s all

that’s why i’m saying it’s not a moral

issue for me it is just that it sets you

backward you want to go forward but it

sets you backward

[Music]
