 I come from a generation when Che Guevara was our hero. They've been hired and they've been asked to… they've given a mandate, write something negative about him. 1.3 billion people, we could take this massive population across from one level of living to another. Everybody's telling me, «Sadhguru, don't step into this political arena, I still carry an Indian passport, I can speak. In recent times, you are speaking strongly about the well-being of our nation, seems to have unleashed a motivated campaign of vile personal attacks on you. By a small section of media, I'm shocked and intrigued as to why speaking about the nation's well-being should evoke such negative emotions. «Sadhguru, I've been here for a while and I personally don't feel you're against anybody, but do you think that these people feel that you are in some way against them? And that's the reason they are attacking them?» That's a very small segment. In this also, there are various types. Let's say there are three types of people who are reacting to whatever I'm saying. One is, these are leftovers from the socialist era. Well, I come from a generation when Che Guevara was our hero. We were all thinking of an armed revolution. Really, we thought that's the only solution. But those times have passed. The time for armed revolution, revolution anywhere in the world is over because it's like still that Second Amendment thing that's going on in the United States still this whole thing was made because my property, my family, I can defend with my shotgun and my rifle. But today you're talking about fighting the U.S. Army with your shotgun and rifle. Have you lost it? So I'm saying armed revolution is over because arms have gone to another level. It's not possible anymore to bring about change. You can only destroy something with arms. You cannot change things with arms anymore. So they are still leftovers from there. They're still dreaming about an armed revolution. If you speak anything for the democratic values of this nation, they react. They're okay because I feel they're a bit misguided but genuine people in some way. There's another set of people who are religious people in the garb of atheists. They're actually deeply religious people. But they have discovered that being talking atheism is a good way to spread their religion. They are always attacking me. It doesn't matter what I say. You see my name, they will go at it. Well, that's an extremely small number so let's ignore them. There's another set. These are professional times. People have to do something to earn a living. It's a pathetic way to earn a living. When you don't do anything significant in your life, you make a living by constantly deriding somebody whatever they're doing without even looking at it. You go on saying something negative and you make a living out of it. It's a pathetic way to make a living. And above all, journalism is a... In a democracy, it's a sacred profession. It's a sacred calling. Well, you may also earn something that's different. But today, there is a bunch of journalists, not all of them. A bunch of them who can be bought and sold and they are trying to earn their living. If I say everybody should vote, who is it you tell us we should vote? Whatever, it doesn't matter. If I say democracy is about all of us getting together and creating a wonderful nation. Oh, what does he know about democracy? No democracy is about criticizing each other, something. Because it's quite hilarious because they've been hired and they've been asked to... They were given a mandate to write something negative about him. Some time ago, somebody asked me this question, Sadhguru, what is your greatest achievement in all these many things you're doing? What do you think is an achievement? I said, see, I don't really look at life like that. But if you... if I have to say something, the greatest achievement for me is I have made thousands and thousands of people, hundreds and thousands of people to shift from working for a living to simply doing something that means something to them in their life. My major part of my activity is to shift people from making a living to make a life out of this, a significant life out of this. Significance not in the world, significant as a life, not because I think I'm great. Simply that the life has to become significant. Life becomes significant when it reverberates in a certain way, when it functions beyond its own survival. But unfortunately, a few people have to live a pathetic life where they sell themselves to say whatever they're expected to say, no matter whether it makes sense for them or not. But these are small numbers, it's okay. We will continue to speak about the nation, not because I'm very nationalistic as such, I'm not. But right now, for me India is a large segment of humanity, 1.3 billion people in one nation. And a large number of them have had such a bad deal in the last 10 to 15 generations because of occupation and slavery and so many things, poverty. Right now we're sitting on a threshold where if you do the right thing in the next five, ten years, we could take this massive population across from one level of living to another. I don't want some idiot to mess it up, that's the reason why I'm standing up and speaking for the nation. Because this is a kind of possibility that's never happened before in the history of humanity. Never before, this many people had the opportunity to move from one level to another. The only other nation which has done this in recent times is the China, a lot of you are here. But the Chinese did it the hard way, in a forceful way. Well, that was a different level of slumber that nation was in and they did it in a very hard way. But in India, right now we are sitting on a threshold where in a democratic way, we can take nearly six hundred million people from one level of living to another. This can happen in the next ten years time, we're just on the edge of that. I don't want this possibility to be destroyed by anybody because of their personal agendas. That's the only reason why I'm speaking strongly, stepping out. Everybody's telling me, Sadhguru, don't step into this political arena, I'm not going to get into politics. But I still carry an Indian passport, I can speak.
