  있고 STRANGE  defeating  one's Motherland Fire Puṁka... Flowers and fruits in the trees of course burst of very happy... you can see tha, One is because there is so much fruit, luxurient growth of greenery. Another is all human beings and the lockdown. Double celebration their all heaven. you saw the image going around in the ashram on our rooftops, the peacocks are dancing, even when the peahens are not around. Just out of sheer joy, absence of human beings, they're just dancing. So, let me read a poem today. It's called Dirty Little Logic. As flowers become fruits with a touch of magic spring, as flowers become fruits with a touch of magic spring, green leaves did become flowers, brown branches became leaves, knotted roots became a luxuriant tree exuding the very plasma of life. All this from the soil that some call dirt. Is this a dirty life or the magic of creation? You shall know as per your incline. All this from the soil that some call dirt. Is this a dirty life or the magic of creation? You shall know as per your incline. Incline to pay attention to the magic of creation or engrossed in your own dirty little logic. It's called lock-up. Up, not down. Do you need to be locked down or do you possess the needed sense to sanitize distance and disinfect? Do you need to be locked down or do you possess the needed sense to sanitize distance and disinfect? Are you in appreciation of those who strive for you? Are you in appreciation for those who strive for you? Or are you allowed with a vulgar sense of entitlements or a religious nut who can only live well in a paradise elsewhere? If you have no sensitivity to appreciate the dedication, commitment and selflessness with which doctors, nurses, police and even most politicians are striving to save your life and mine, what you need is not lock-down, lock-up. So lock-down till May 3rd after that lock-up. Well, there are good news first or bad news. The good news is well certain nations which were majorly hit like Italy and Spain sort of brought it under control but with lock-down. When the lock-down is relaxed what will happen, that's another matter. But right now the number of deaths have come down considerably, number of new infections have come down. Even in India it's taking a downward trend though the fatalities have crossed 500 in India, the curve is slowly dipping. And hot spots where infections were either being spread by ignorance or intent have been all barricaded and separated. So under control in those places a certain number of deaths have happened so they are also getting disciplined a little bit. So on the whole it is slowly dipping which is a very good sign but tomorrow is 20th, tomorrow midnight onwards. Some relaxation will happen for certain types of economic activity. Of course agriculture and a few other vital industries which are needed to keep the society going. After this little bit of relaxation we must see how the curve will move. And third of May is not very far away because the virus has shown certain other qualities that it possesses which initially we did not realize. We thought it is only attacking the respiratory system so we tried to find simple solutions for that. But now it is seen that it is damaging what is called as T cells or the lymphocytes which are the main forces within our body to fight the virus. They compromising them almost like how the HIV virus does. That means it's destroying the immune system at a certain level. Maybe not at the same scale as HIV but in a similar fashion. Should this new sense of knowing about the virus is causing much concern because our only answer to this was to boost the immune system. Now we still don't have a vaccine that's far away as far as we can see right now. The only thing was stronger immune system but it is attacking the core of our immune system and neutralizing it. The T cells or the lymphocytes kind of do not know that they must fight the virus because the virus goes and neutralizes them. This is a cause of much concern. I think it's worrying the scientists quite a bit because simply treating it as a respiratory problem is not going to work because it's attacking another more fundamental dimension within our human system. So of course there are people that I mentioned in the lock up porn. There are people who are protesting. In United States a few protests are happening against the lockdown though it's not a complete lockdown like India. In India also there are a few people here and there breaking the lockdown and you know doing irresponsible things. Today the prime minister has made an appeal for all the youth in the nation to take the leadership and see that lockdown is successful because by making it a partial success it's just waste of time, energy and economic damage to the nation. Only if it's a complete success then it's worthwhile locking down. I lockdown but you don't lockdown. This is no use. We can as well both of us go on the street and take our chance which one of us is going to die first. But women have an advantage. The virus is largely killing men. This is the good news I was about to give you because generally women have better regulated immune systems because body is equipped to handle pregnancy. The first when the pregnancy happens it is like a external or a foreign body within the women system so the immune system is always at a more regulated condition. So there are no numbers coming out right now but generally people are saying it is largely men who are dying. Tch, gender bias even with the virus. Anyway, we are glad at least women will be safe. So many many things are taking shape but the two things of great concern is they are not limiting themselves to the respiratory system. Kidney and liver damages have been noticed in some patients. We do not know if it's an isolated case or this could be a trend. And more something of more concern is it is behaving like HIV virus that it's attacking the immune system itself. Well as most of you know by now the real problem with this virus though its fatality rates are not as high as SARS or MERS or even the Spanish flu of the past. The problem is asymptomatic transmission. There are many people who are infected. Up to three weeks they have not shown any symptoms but they are spreading. So that is the real challenge with this particular virus. So all said and done anyway in a couple of weeks economic activity will be back but the important thing is even if government relaxes the lock down people must follow their own personal lockdown. Only do what is really necessary and keep distance and whatever the you know, the respiratory adequate that people have become conscious of let's keep this not for lockdown period for life and sanitizing ourselves in such a way that we don't bring a second wave of infections. It is also feared in colder countries where temperatures go below seven degrees probably by October end or so it is some scientist are estimating that a second massive wave will come at that time because winter is a time when people are naturally more susceptible to infections and a much bigger wave may happen then. Having said all this, well a human being is a resilient creature we'll figure out something before that we'll find a way till then everybody must keep distance and it's very very important for your life for your well-being and the well-being of others you may think i'm very strong or you may think i'm willing to die because people are making such statements i'm saying somebody says i don't care i'm willing to die i have to go out and do what i have to do you may be willing to die but you need to understand you are a big problem both alive and dead yes if you just folded on the street dead bodies can infect hundreds of people so both alive and dead you're a problem please contain yourself and see that you're not you're not a threat to everybody else because this sense of pride and entitlement is very strong in people a whole lot of people maybe that's one reason why more men are dying danger means generally women step back very easily a man cannot step back he has to step forward when there is danger that's his natural instinct this happened an american man was staying in a london hotel and another man came from glosco to meet him and he asked him when they met he asked him from which quandary do you come from the american said from the greatest nation in the world so this man from glosco said me too but you don't sound Scottish at all so these entitlements will infringe and cause much damage this is not a time to be macho this is not a macho time this is a virus time step back it's very very important there's no heroics with this the heroics is in saving people's lives the hero heroics is in protecting other people the heroics is what i want to do i will not do right now for the sake of everybody else this is heroics this question is from Rachel satt guru you are always making fun of the religions that promise us heaven but you have also promised this is the last lifetime for all those who have been with you for a moment how are these two things different this is persisting between heaven and what i said heaven means heaven paradise whatever else they call it what it means is in some places there is very good food in some places rivers of wine flow in some places other kinds of problems are there this happened in a very very special state in united states of america called alabama and sunday morning the sunday school teacher was going full fire unfortunately the audience were not like you all tiny thoughts catch them young policy going in full fire in his rhetoric he stopped and asked what do you have to do to go to heaven little marry who always sits in the front row stood up and said if i scrub the church floor every sunday morning i will go to heaven absolutely another little girl stood up and said if i share my pocket money with the less privileged friend of mine i will go to heaven correct another little boy stood up and said if i help those who are in need i will go to heaven correct little tommy stood up and said you got to die first well that's a qualification you got to die first once you die first you must know because you know our death book is titled as a book for all those who shall die only for them and most of you have realized you're all the dying sort not now i don't want you to die of virus at your own time so you're all dying sort you must know what is in heaven you don't know well in the hindu heaven food is very good if you are a foodie that's a place to go there is a they'll give you a or there is a vessel say akshay patra that is you can eat as much as you want it never gets empty always it's full so if you are a foodie hindu heaven is the best place for you to go if you go to another place there will be those white gown ladies floating in the clouds if you like that kind of ambience you go there there food is not good dry rye bread and water if you go to another place you will encounter virgin problems but to go to heaven first you have to die when you die mother earth claims back your body one way or the other so you went to heaven without your body when you don't have a body what do you do with good food and virgins what is there to do no wonder the vessel is always full and they always remain virgins if you go to the dining hall without a body food will be like that only so if you look at all the heavens in the world little carefully you will see these heavens were made up in the minds of perverted men not even women didn't participate in the making of this heavens looks like that very clearly because you're only a thing utility you're not you don't have a seat in heaven i want you to understand the ladies that's why the virus is also not touching you so i did not offer heaven to anybody if you understand you as a life you as a person let's look at it as a person you as a person was made with information with food material if we take out all the imprints that you have if we take out all the memory out of you i am talking about conscious memory unconscious memory articulate memory inarticulate memory karmic memory genetic memory you know evolutionary memory everything we took out all the memory out of you do you believe you will have a form only because of all this memory functioning within you you have taken this form you think you are a person you just a certain amount of very complex software in a way right now you should understand this now they're building robotic human beings see that also the first robotic human beings they create a woman the because you've been biased against in heaven we're trying to make up here so they're beginning to have their own characteristics they have their own character a personality of their own because software is getting more and more complex now slowly a personality is evolving that's all that's happened with you a very complex software so you have a persona so if we undo this software you as a person will cease to exist so it's up to you to see whether this is a reward or a threat but it's neither because with a certain amount of a bubble that you created of information and material you trapped a certain amount of life and it goes on for a period of time at some point it has to dismantle itself if you it is like a fruit once it is ripe it will fall so we are only talking about ripening the life quickly you want to ripen slowly no problem but before you get ripe enough parrots you hear them they may eat you up some local boy will throw a stone at you and you're down before you get ripe so many things can happen to you so what a wise one will do is once he realizes there is a way to ripen quickly he will start moving that way as quickly as possible i only said i will ripen you in such a way that naturally the fruit will fall i didn't tell you i will throw you up into heaven and i know if i give you a vessel which is full of food all the time maybe limitless expansion will happen that is not a good vessel these vessels were imagined during times of famine and drought when people had nothing to eat what would they dream of a vessel in their home which is always empty with some grace if this vessel becomes in such a way that it will always be full akshay this is the dream of a hungry man this is the dream of a man whose family is starving to death but that fortunately that face of life is gone it's it's time you dream of something little better it is time you dream of something little better and the other dreams i don't want to go into it will get bad so i am talking about ripening you and dismantling the persona so that life just floats around as life in its full magnificence and beauty not as a constipated person a person is a constipated life i want you to understand however great a personality you are personality is a limited existence once you're here as a person it is you versus the universe whether you become conscious of it or not it is you versus the universe all the time so if you have seen enough of it then you want to ripen quickly i said i can help you to ripen quickly and fall down not fly up this may look like a threat oh so sadguru is going to make us fall down this is not my desire that is how everything falls on this planet you know i said newton told you everything falls down only on this planet there are other places if you throw something it keeps going up but those places you are not fit to live where you are fit to live if you drop something it will fall down and it's good place down is not a bad place up means getting lost down means you found your earth the most friendly planet for you down means you can fall down and you know the mango wants to fall down it is not thinking of how you will enjoy the mango it is thinking of falling down and it's come with sufficient manure which you think is a fruit and it wants to come up another young mango tree wants to grow out of that that's its desire it's made sweet so that animals and you also can carry it far and throw the seed there otherwise if all the seeds fall under the tree shade what to do it is hoping that you won't eat the seed this is the wish of the mango tree i'm just expressing because i'm in love with them the mango tree is wishing that you will eat the fruit and have enough gratitude to plant the seed somewhere that's its wish but most human beings don't know mangoes come from a tree they think it's come from a shop counter so they are eating it and throwing it in the bin no no the mango tree is just hoping out of a thousand fruits that it produced at least a hundred will get planted at least 10 15 20 in a season will become real trees it's hoping please don't disappoint the mango trees and don't disappoint me by going to heaven because it doesn't look like a good place at all to me from whatever descriptions i have seen in different cultures the description of heaven is not attractive at all i see the isha yoga center is much better than the descriptions that they have made here the food vessels get empty the moment we've eaten the next question is from arjuna namaskaram sadguru yesterday you were talking about devotion and belief my question is thought and emotion are connected and both are created by me so one who's devoted may also have thoughts towards his object of devotion and one who believes in something may have strong emotion towards that so why is that a believer is less than a devotee see this part of the country particularly almost the entire country but particularly this part of the country now a few things have changed otherwise anywhere you go across southern india south of decan plateau wherever you go hundreds and hundreds why hundreds thousands and thousands of shiva temples devotees of shiva they spend their lives everything on just building one temple every king had to build one temple every family which is of some worth they want to build a temple putting all their money into it if you look at the elaborateness with which they have built you can understand they should have spent their entire everything they had they themselves lived in small homes but they built magnificent temples because this is devotion towards whom towards shiva well shiva is a destroyer everywhere everywhere everywhere it is clearly said he's not going to lift his little finger for you but people built temples and temples for him spending all their lives earnings on him a man who is not going to give you anything and not only that he's always looking at you like he's going to destroy you you know that incident where the seven sages the saptarishis are after decades of studying and learning and experiencing with him he says you go out into different lands across the world you must go and make people get acquainted with this science the yogic science 112 different ways so they're all prepared they don't want to go but they don't want to leave him and go but he's saying they must go so they're leaving so they say you're send sending us into strange lands we don't know what kind of people we will meet you must understand it's not 21st century where you know what sort of people live in every corner of this world every continent every little place what sort of people live there you know in some way at that time they don't even know in another part of the world whether there are human beings or giants or devils or who is there nobody knows so they are asking when we go there we don't know whether they will be receptive to us or not so in case we meet those kind of situations will you be there for us he looked incredulous so what if you meet any kind of adversity like that he said i shall sleep why would you want to build a temple for this man that's a devotee i want you to understand this is not coming from the intellect but these seven sages went out without understanding what he said because when you sleep you're one with everything if you sleep consciously you're one hundred percent one with everything and consciously with everything see when you're awake you are a person when you sleep you're just life there's no limit actually this is why we've been telling you if you can cause that little awareness at that moment of going to sleep from that moment of wakefulness to sleep if you can be conscious something phenomenal will happen we've been telling you but you've been sleeping so he said i shall sleep he's not saying i will be there i will come and jump out of the sky and save you nothing he says i shall sleep but the devotees don't care whether he will come he will not come he will do something he will not do something i'm saying there is no qualitative evaluation because they understand because they know from their it is not even understanding they know from their innermost experience their devotion has transformed them in such a phenomenal way they don't care if it comes or doesn't come that's devotion you cannot do this with your intellect you cannot do something illogical with your intellect you can do some lousy logic what is that dirty little logic you can do but you have to do some logic even the most illogical idiot has his own little logic dirty little logic but with your intellect you cannot do something illogical because that's the nature of the intellect so belief is done on the level of your intellect you're trying to make logic out of something where there is no logic everybody is looking up heavenward i'm saying this is this is increasing i'm just seeing if you look at the old videos of 50 60s where international football games when people score a goal they just jump in joy or shake hands do something they wouldn't hug each other because there were no deodorants at that time but nobody looked up and praised the lord but today almost everybody or most of them the moment they score a goal and the cricket matches well well we've gone through this many many many times the planet is round and it's spinning you have no clue which is up so definitely you have no clue what is up your goals are coming from there no it is just that you're trying to build confidence so essentially you build confidence belief builds confidence confidence will not give you clarity confidence will give you a bullheaded approach to life you can dose yourself through life sometimes it works unfortunately that is not the nature of devotion just see how a devotee stands he's never confident always like this but believers because you believe some nonsense you made it up a devotee has not made up anything he's just soften himself soften himself soften himself in such a way that life happens in a way that logic can never do and intelligence beyond the limitations of your logic anybody who's applied their intellect substantially if you apply your intellect within no time you will hit the limits of where it is most people have never applied intensely enough so they think they're stupid little what dirty little logic we should publish this poem i'm beginning to like it this dirty little logic is limitless so with this dirty little logic it is your dirty little logic that right now where you live is not good your accommodations are not good people that you live with are making you miserable so with your dirty little logic you created a better place up there a devotee is not creating any place up there he doesn't care whether he goes up or down all he knows is his heart is overflowing with the sweetness of his own existence well he may use a tool he may use something to inspire him but he's not making up things so this is a fundamental difference between belief and devotion you are it's like this legs are for walking hands are for doing things but if you train your hands very well you make it very strong you can walk on your hands and there are people who are handicapped somebody has lost their arms they are doing all kinds of incredible thing artwork with their feet some are doing it's fantastic but are your legs designed to work and hands designed arms designed to walk it is not similarly your intellect is designed to dissect to look at things logically and decipher a few things for yourself for your survival your emotion is not he's not created or doesn't have the ability to decipher things it knows only how to embrace something if you want to know the sweetness of life your emotion should flow if you want to figure out a few things your intellect should function but now you're using your intellect like emotion and emotion the only emotion most people know is stress anxiety resentment anger once in a way only on the facebook they feel some love because that's the safest place that is the safest place for a love affair because you never have to encounter those people so let us understand this intellect is not designed to illogically make up something it is designed to decipher life as it is the physicality of it the material of it so that you can function efficiently emotion is not designed for that emotion is designed for you to experience life intensely if you use it the other way around you want to walk on your hands and work with your legs all the best like this happened sankaran pilai was walking in the orly what that orly sea face in mumbai post lockdown so the first ones when the lockdown is released the first ones that will come out or the criminals the pickpockets you know because business is totally gone so sankaran pilai also took a walk so an arm thug pulled out a country made pistol put it to his head and said i'll blow your brains out just give me the money sankaran pilai said in in mumbai you can live without brains but you can't live without money you can blow as much as you want you're not getting my money brains needed intellect needed for something other things needed for other things other things needed for other things seba sarveshwarashamdhashamdha mahadhe
