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]
