Today is international labour day The hands And the sweat Which fuels the world's industry Nameless people But It is their hands Which move the wheels of Modern industry It is their sweat Which lubricates the wheels Right now with the pandemic Across the world It is this segment Which Will be hit very hard In many countries This segment is an organized segment So there they will have means To negotiate They will have means To get through this patch Well In the great depression of 1930s About 24% of the people Became unemployed That was considered The worst thing that could have happened in the world In terms of poverty, hunger, starvation But the estimates today Post pandemic The unemployed rates Could be much higher Well today the world is a little better organized Than what it was In early 20th century So we may tide over this little better But it is this segment that we call as labour Who will be hit very badly It's shocking to see That normally We thought in the villages Not that we do not know But you still it doesn't sink into you Generally in the villages everybody has a piece of land And always there is something to do But only now when we go out to serve these people We see how many people are there Who do not belong to this place Who come from elsewhere for seasonal labour And they are all stuck here They can't go back home They don't have money They don't have food And the worst thing is Their families largely these are male population Their wives, children, mothers And others are in their villages Wherever far away The worry of what's happening to them Many of them have lost contact Because they are not able to pay for their phone bills And they cannot talk to them Well now the number that we are serving meals Has gone up to eleven thousand plus But it looks like it's going to go up much more Some relaxation of the lockdown is beginning to happen Coimbatore city has moved from red to orange So they are saying By tenth or twelfth of this month If there are no new cases If there is no spurt Then it will move into green zone That means people can go out And free to work anywhere Kind of situation But still it won't solve their problem Because well businesses may open But they will not be buzzing immediately It'll take some time We don't know a month, two, three months, six months How long will it take For them to imbibe all the labour force fully Is a big question mark But not less than forty-five to sixty days It will take that much time So those who are daily wages Who are not in the organized sector Like construction, agriculture, labour And variety of other things They will have no livelihood So this is going to be a massive problem In this country for sure Definitely it's a problem All over the world At different levels in different nations So today is labour day If you want to serve Large number of people Who are in this condition In twenty-first century With the level of transportation Information And connectedness That is there in the world Well a pandemic is there It's killing people I think it's cross-quarter million But with so much organization Transportation capabilities Ability to inform And activate things across the world One thing that should not happen Is people should not die of starvation Of the many ailments That human beings can get Starvation is the worst of the lot Because it is most debilitating And takes away your humanity In many ways On the spiritual path Starvation is a tool Where to be starved When the fire in your stomach Is eating up everything in you Still to maintain your sadhana To maintain your focus To maintain the dignity of being human It's a lot of work I know the pain of starvation By experience so I wish this simple people Who left their homes Not in pursuit of some adventure Not in pursuit of some spiritual goals But just in pursuit of livelihood Simple need We must ensure They do not go into starvation mode Otherwise what is the use of labour days This question is from Piyush Namaskaram sir, Guru Why is moksha considered the highest Kuran yogic culture When there are so many problems in the societies So much work needed to be done Where one lifetime is not enough Not that there are problems in the society Society itself is a problem Essentially society means The smallest unit of society is family Then other building blocks Probably today The largest unit of society is a nation Well we are talking about a global village But that is only in the In the cyberspace In the dream space You see Even a pandemic happens When some shortage is there First level of separation that happens in the world Is nation Nation versus nation If it goes further May be state versus state If it goes further Community versus community Goes further Family versus family This is the order Only when there is a crisis you know What is the order and structure of the society The most basic unit of social structure is family Well is it wrong for people to come together I am not saying that All animals They have their own societies Elephants have their own society Peacocks you see They have their own at least families You are seeing them every day Like this every creature has So out of that habit They have also formed societies And of course people have been Propounding philosophies Man is a social being Man is a social being When he is helpless The moment he is empowered He wants to be by himself When he needs something He needs people When he doesn't need anything So So man is somewhere in between Human being is somewhere in between Of needs And longing To go beyond the needs Even those people who are deeply entangled With their compulsions Their addictions Even they if you look at it very closely Somebody gets drunk From tomorrow I think liquor is available Just announcing If you are not Permanently drunk like me For you I am saying Because the state governments need revenue Liquor is a major form of revenue for them So Not only the drinkers Are thirsting for it Or maybe they have broken the habit Who knows in 38 days of lockdown Some Elected member of the local assembly In Rajasthan said If washing hands with The sanitizer with alcohol Is going to kill the corona virus Drinking it will definitely kill it in the throat Only thing is it takes 70% alcohol If you drink 70% alcohol Well Will see you somewhere Like a spirit So this longing within a human being Somebody is getting drunk Not to give revenue for the state Be very clear about this Somebody is getting drunk Only because he wants to be free From something that bothers him Maybe his own mental structure which bothers him Maybe his wife nags him Or his financial troubles are bothering him Free In Telugu language There is a saying Whatever elements you have Alcohol is always a medicine Because it cures everything For a period of time Doesn't matter, you have cancer Just get drunk for about 6 hours You have no cancer You have the virus Get drunk for 6-8 hours You don't have virus And it may even get drunk and go away We don't know That guy is claiming So People are drinking, drugging Most compulsive things I am taking as examples To be free People are working day in and day out Because they think they want to be free From their financial troubles So the longing to become free At some level Whatever level is individuals experience Is what firing human activity In many ways We want to be even free From the gravitational impact of this planet itself So we want to go into the space It's longing to be free So when you have so much longing to be free Is it not time How to become free really What is it that is binding Because if you want to become free You should not think about freedom You should carefully look at the ropes that bind you If you look at the ropes that actually bind you Then naturally you will start talking about mukti So we looked at it closely What is it that binds a human being The essential thing that binds a human being is just this If you Today it's become fashionable like this People say You know I'm not a morning person I'm an evening person What they mean is They can't rise early in the morning Their body is lethargic So they get up at nine o'clock Obviously they sleep late Somebody else says I'm a morning person I'm not an evening person If you ask him to stay up in the night Because wherever you make him sit Because he's got that problem He goes to bed early And obviously gets up early in the morning So I'm saying just about anything People are identifying with And they think it's their nature Somebody is all the time getting angry Freaking on people You make him sit down and ask This is my nature what to do This is the only problem you have You have misunderstood your personality For your nature That's all That is all the problem with your life You have misunderstood Self created Unconsciously self created personality To your original nature You think this is your nature I'm an angry person I'm a miserable person I'm a joyful person This is not your nature Good or bad It's not your nature It is your personality Your personality is a collage of many things You might have picked up good colors Or ugly stuff We don't know If you picked up good colors People will say Oh he's a nice person That's okay for others to say Because others can only see My person They cannot see my nature But If I don't see my own nature If I do not experience my own nature What it means is I wore a mask And forgot Not the virus mask Full mask I wore a mask Oh this is a bad example Today Because everybody is wearing mask And speaking to everybody Now you don't even know Who is the bank robber The bankers and the bank robbers We look the same This is a very complicated time So you wore a mask And with the mask You go and stand in front of the mirror Oh this is how I look This is my nature This is dumb stupid But This is what Nearly the entire world is doing They are misunderstanding Their persona For their original nature So mukti means just this That What you have created You kept it at a little distance This is mukti Mukti means will I go to heaven Heaven is a bloody trap Yes If you go get stuck in a heaven Then you can't even go out Is it not a trap At least if you go to hell You will burn If you burn It will get over In heaven It's a bloody trap It's a honey trap Yes it is So When we say mukti We are not talking about heaven We are not talking about going somewhere We are just talking about What we have created And gotten stuck into Entangled into We want to separate We want to be here Sit here And throb Like life Not think like a person Not feel like a person Not do this this Not that you cannot do that But you know Clothes Just like that You know You're wearing the clothes This is not you Just like this This is why we created various methods One important method in this is Mukti means Largely in the world People will talk about devotion Mukti means bhakti Bhakti is the way to mukti Normally There are other ways But this is the quickest way Because emotion is still The largest part of a human being Bhakti means The nakedness of yourself That means You have removed everything You have removed everything Not just the clothes Including the body And the structures that you have built Above all your persona Only because of your persona The shape of your body The style of your hair The complexion of your skin And everything has become important Only because of your persona If your personality stays away If it has loses this You are in mukti So if there are problems in society Tell me Those who are free From their own nonsense Self created nonsense Will they serve better Those who are entangled In their own stuff Will serve better It's for you to decide If there is no mukti Different people are in different levels Of some kind of freedom Some people have freedom Some people are badly compulsive But if you have no compulsions Well you will be the most useful Human being on the planet You will be the most effective Human being on the planet And mukti is needed At whatever level you are It doesn't matter where you are You should not think about mukti Liberation floating in the sky Floating in the sky is not mukti You know I was When I was very young as a boy I was so fascinated by anything that flies So I go lie down On the terrace of my home For hours you should see If you see some of my pictures Of my young boy I am like burnt My skin is always burnt Because for months on end I will just go lie down On the terrace Every day hours together Just looking at the These kites and eagles flying up there It took me many years Of watching this And I realized suddenly They are up there But they are always looking down I am here on the ground I am looking up And I look at the bird An eagle He Is not happy Sometimes he is But most of the time he is concerned Where is the mouse Where is the snake Where is... He's actually gone to his office To earn his food for the day We are thinking a bird in the sky And oof freedom You know This bird in the sky, freedom idea Got me to build my own hanglider And it broke both my legs In one shot It's then I realized These damn things are flying up there And they are always looking down Because What is really valuable is down here We are sitting here And looking up I was at least looking at the birds Many of you are looking Not stratosphere Paradise, heaven Up there But by the time you do this The planet has gone Anyway We are at eleven degrees latitude We are from now on Whenever you point... Want to point at heaven This is zero This is where it is So your personality Means It is the structure that you built A mask that you created And now not able to take it off What a terrible life is that If you can't keep it down What is the point? What you put on You must be able to put it off Whenever you want Otherwise You are entangled In that entanglement You become crippled in many ways You cannot take off your mask You should not right now That's a law That's a different matter But if you cannot take it off You can't see anything the way it is This happened Shankaran Pillai was working in Himachal Pradesh And His wife from Chennai Called and asked How is the weather there He said I can't see anything It's all foggy It's like that When it's foggy When you fogged up With your own persona You can't see anything the way it is So mukti means just this That you cleared your fog Now you are able to see Everything just the way it is Now this life is free Now you can decide What to do with it Right now you cannot decide What to do with it Because this Old information The old software Determines where the hell you go Whatever you try to do Doing this If you are sitting this side This big saw hall or aksaya The kitchen From there the smell will come It will go like this And there is a problem In Isha Yoga center We have told you Meditation happens best When you are somewhat hungry Then you thought No, let me move away And you move here Here, paper wine There is no dormant all this I will go and sit there There, moon rampirai These are all different eateries Around here So wherever you sit Somewhat hungry You are determined I know But There are compulsions As long as compulsions are there Compulsion means just this We retracing the same path Over and over again Retracing the same path means Obviously we are going in circles Going in circles means We are not getting anywhere Oh I don't care about all these There are problems in the world You are not understanding The problems are only because of you Because There are so many human beings Like you who are trapped in their own trash That is why the problems Otherwise what problem If people Human beings were not compulsive What problem I am asking In the society This is really no problem No, but we have to feed the population Population would be very controlled If we are not compulsive Everything would be the way we want We could decide What should happen What should not happen But right now everything The very structure Of the society Is because of human compulsions But we think that is our nature This is not your nature Your misunderstanding Your personality Or persona For your original nature So the entire spiritual process Is just about this To separate what you have invented And what is really there As life That's all This is mukti And it should happen now Not when you go somewhere else I am sorry here Please The next question Is from Is this information For all over the country Full lockdown Full lockdown Hmm? It was nationwide Lockdown extended for two more weeks Beyond fourth May So Nationwide lockdown extended Till Seventeenth of May But with some Relaxations for certain type of Business, certain type of industry Other things But up to seventeenth Which may look real But it's very wise to do this And talking about these pandemics Our most Recent experience of a pandemic Is what is blamed on the Spanish people The Spanish flu But the Spanish flu did not start in Spain It was originally seen in United States We don't know where exactly it started As even now with this There is a debate as to where it really started Today information, everything is much better So maybe we can pinpoint Those days nobody knew where it started But first cases were noticed in United States Than in Spain Because there was free movement of people It kind of flared up in Spain And it took the lives of fifty thousand I'm sorry, fifty million people Those days when the population was just Only about one point six Or one point seven billion people It took fifty million people across the world In India, eighteen million people died Out of these eighteen million people One large segment We don't know exactly what's the number Easily at least three to four million people Died of starvation Because the British forces took away all the food To their own country and Europe Where food was needed for them So they forcefully took all the food It is estimated somewhere between Three to six million people Would have died of starvation itself But you cannot separate people who die Because of the virus And people who die because of starvation Because it will get all mixed up Nobody can really exactly say Probably because of starvation You become more susceptible to the virus We don't know in how many ways Eighteen million people died in this country And the bad news is That virus also The Spanish flu also started Sometime February-March Picked up momentum And that kind of died down And then the second wave came In late August-September-October It is the second wave which took The maximum number of lives So this is not a time to Many people are thinking This is going to end tomorrow So from forth onwards They are going to celebrate And jump around on the streets That would be the worst thing to do Right now people are protesting Particularly in the United States With death toll reaching over sixty thousand people People, armed people Fully armed people are coming out On the streets and protesting A particular saloon In Texas Haircuts, hair saloon Has hired two vigilantes With heavy weaponry Standing there and guarding I'll keep my business open It's my right to keep it open With armed men These things are going to cost us heavy Even if one percent of the population Behaves like that Fortunately, the fatality rate of this virus Is not as high as Spanish flu But the flip side of this is People can carry this without any symptoms Asymptomatic carriers are very big in this That is the biggest danger A whole population may be carrying it And nobody knows and it Those who die keep dying With Spanish flu The symptoms were quick Death was also quick It did not spare any age group But this virus Could clean out the older population And impair the younger population Young people are not totally free from that Young people may not die But may have inflammation around their heart And become incapable of living a full life In many different ways More and more things are being discovered On a daily basis We still do not have a full picture But as cruel as it is Another two weeks When summer is going to get hot In... We are very fortunate that There are rains here Every two days, three days But otherwise in the city Summer is getting hot And in small apartments People are living I can understand their level of frustration And they were thinking We will get out after midnight tomorrow But it's extended It is a very difficult decision For the government to take All of us must appreciate The challenges that are there The economic challenges that are there In front of the nation But still taking this decision In the larger interest of the people Is a very bold decision Politically very, very damaging For anybody who takes such decisions But this is the right thing to do We need to continue this lockdown Relaxing industries And economic activities Step by step But two weeks more Nation-wide We thought it will happen According to states Individual states' choices But now after enormous consultation Among all the experts They have come to this To protect this And abide by this Everybody across the nation Must abide by this Because these are not ordinary times And it's very important That in India We should avoid the second wave We may have to cut out International travel For a substantial period of time Which is going to cost the nation heavy But it's better than losing A percentage of population We can build back what's gone down But if we are dead We're not going to do anything like that So people are saying What will you do When sixty-thousand people are dead in America People are questioning And talking about their freedom This is always something that I have noticed The moment you utter the word freedom You tend to become irresponsible This is why we talk responsibility Responsibility is the tool For achieving freedom Where there is no responsibility There will be no freedom If we talk about freedom We will do fanciful things Which are against ourselves So this is the time For every citizen to You know Truly be responsible Express our responsibility Just by doing nothing You're serving the world Isn't it fantastic And also This also means That it will bring a huge Financial cost for us at ISHA Because this means This service of providing food For thousands of people Will go on further And maybe those numbers will increase At this time I would like to thank and congratulate the person Who took the painting Which was just About forty-forty-two hours of labour for me And At over half a million dollars Which is not for the artistic skills It is that person's compassion in their heart That they have contributed this money And right now A lot of time to paint Two more weeks, lockdown So Hold back your compulsions for two more weeks In the end Dinner will be served at 7.30 In Adiyogi Alayum Pavilion Today we have a short Pradangam Solop by Swami Gautaman
