 One unfortunate subject which should not have existed but right now it's become a national debate which is rape because of a certain horrible incident that happened in New Delhi the whole country is talking talking about rape so this needs to be understood that though there may be a sexual stimulus to rape It is not about sexuality alone. It's about the power to possess this wanting to possess comes from various things one fundamental mistake that societies have done is somewhere in the minds of the youth the male youth in the world we have put the idea that a female is a an object a thing that you can possess Either somebody's father can give you away if he refuses you can take it Still there isn't it in the background Somewhere very deep in the psychological structure There is an idea that a woman is a commodity a commodity is If something doesn't have a mind of its own that's a commodity so this probably in some places consciously implanted in many other places unconsciously implanted But it's deeply implanted in people's minds without taking this away Just one more law hang the rapist castrate the rapist he's not going to really produce results and Where does this come from? This is a very wonderful thing in the ancient Bharat or India the Hindu law proclaimed A man cannot go to heaven without his wife You must understand the significance of this I want you to understand the significance of it a Few thousand years ago in many ways today The playing field has been leveled for man and woman not because of any great social evolution but because of technology the technological development Which has made a woman being capable of participating in many global activities If there was no technology if it was a question of your physical strength which carried you from place to place definitely a Woman would be still very home-bound not that she shouldn't be home. I'm saying Being home is one thing being home-bound is one thing Being home is nice Being bound by home is a different thing so Yes, definitely When somebody perpetrates a violent act They need to be punished But still if you want a better society Not just better lungs a law or a punishment is only relevant after things have gone wrong Hanging somebody doing something else is still not going to fix somebody's life If you want to see that things don't go wrong, there may be no absolute fix But Definitely there is something called as lowering the percentages or heightening the percentages When you're dealing with a larger world It is only question of lowering the percentages Maybe there is never going to be an ideal society where no such thing will happen But in striving towards that possibility The most important thing is We need to understand right now the chant that we were doing is just about that still In most minds a woman means body parts and accumulation of body parts Yes A breast, a navel, a curve, long hair something that's why many of you have short hair this day One part of it you've gotten rid of It is still a sum of body parts why is a woman a sum of body parts in Someone who is not a woman is Essentially, this is springing. This is not just with a man with a woman also, but she doesn't Conclude the she does not make the same conclusions that a man makes But she is also bound by the same limitations the moment the boundaries of your physicality becomes ultimate boundaries of life You do not Experience your breath You do not experience any transaction that's happening to keep you alive This you think is ultimate boundary If this is ultimate boundary if I look at this Those who look like just like me They are enemies we would like to get rid of Those who look different those who seem to have different kinds of body parts Are something that you want to possess so essentially The problem is rooted in Investing too much in physicality of life if societies or human beings were Experiencing their lives little more than their physical boundaries These things would simply go down just like that Maybe not eliminate it, but would go down dramatically and considerably To a point where a few offenders you can deal with them with punishment You cannot deal a vast majority of population with punishment Suppose 10 15 20% of the people are committing crime in a society you cannot punish 20% of the population If it's 1% you can punish them you can deal with punishment If it's 20% you cannot deal with punishment. It's not going to help You want to hang 20% of the population That's going to be worse than rape and that's not going to help so punishment People think is a deterrent to some extent it is maybe For most people it is not they will just try to do it more carefully. Yes They will try to take more precautions about it maybe Because they have to more preco... take more precautions. It may come down a little bit but still what's happening in one's mind and How it translates into life is the next step, but it's happening in your mind means When there's an opportunity it will happen in reality right now It seems there are over 500 rape video games very popular the video games go like this This very popular video game goes like this a mother with two daughters He's in a railway station And the video game is about how to rape the mother If you successfully do it, you will get one of the daughters This is a video game commercially being sold bought in millions Secretly people playing these games in their homes or offices or wherever on their computers We are nurturing a sick world And we expect it to not to happen in the railway station it will happen This time it happened in a bus and This time it happened in the capital city So it's a big news whole country and the media is on fine Attention was needed for this But if it happened in somewhere some local place in some village in some little town It would be just one more statistic or it does not even become a statistic because nobody reports such things so the important thing is This is not about rape. This is about what kind of human beings are we raising? Commerce has taken precedence over humanity Commerce is not about serving humanity Humanity is serving commerce. It doesn't matter what you can sell as long as you can sell it You're doing great and you have to scale up So there is a lot of Looking at that humanity has to do One particular case of rape has brought the consciousness of the nation to a certain brink Using this it's time that We look at the essentials of life Whether the crime or violence or forceful acts are committed against a woman or a man or a child It's the same thing. It's not one is not different from the other if we Approve one forceful act the other one will naturally evolve out of it This must start from The home situation if you can force feed your child You can be forcefully sexed also tomorrow. I want you to understand this. This is how it starts If you think you can force feed your child force is okay as Long as you get to do what you want to do Then everything else follows. These are the offsprings of that We don't want to attend or Destroy the root. We just want to prune the surface because right now it hurts us That is not a solution. It's It is disheartening to see on the national news channel the discussion is should we castrate them or not So today if you castrate a rapist tomorrow cut off the hands of a thief Cut off the head of somebody else who uses his brain There is there is no limit to this. This is not the solution Whatever sympathies you may have for the person who suffered the victim We must look for more profound solutions more well thought-out solutions not simply reacting Reacting to one violence with another violence is not going to Breed a right kind of society Now is this in one society? It is not It is just that in some societies the law enforcement may be little better Don't think People are better. No Law enforcement is little better. So it's little more contained in certain societies Little less contained in other societies One way yes protection by law enforcement is needed. No question about that but still a Transformation where law enforcement can be limited to a small percentage of criminals Is the society we want to live in We don't want a big segment of population being curtailed by law enforcement alone If there is no policeman, they will do something else It's a dangerous situation to live in The statistics say that 96% of the rapes happen within the home Law enforcement never ever gets involved in this 96% of the rapes happen within the four walls of the house So it never goes to the law So this cannot be contained by law. Maybe the super violent Rape like what happened in Delhi could be controlled to some extent by law enforcement, but not the other things the fundamental thing is That you want to possess humiliate and subjugate another human being This is happening because of a certain level of inadequacy a certain level of incompleteness within you That only by possessing something You will feel a little better Whether To fulfill this possession you go shopping or you go raping. It's the same thing Something is inadequate You want to fulfill this by getting something? This will find all kinds of ugly expressions. Some of them you may think is harmless But if you do this today and fulfill yourself tomorrow, you would like to step it up to something else and something else and something else It will not stop at one thing So the solution is not in just Containing it the solution is in transformation of the individual human being and Nobody is willing to invest any time or life to make this happen Everybody wants an instant solution go on the street to test for two days and world will change World will not change Your world has to change First thing is willing to invest time for my own transformation Only if you're willing to invest time for your transformation You're willing to invest time for other people's transformation because you understand the value of what it is If you're not willing to invest time upon your own Transformation where is the question of doing anything for anybody's transformation? If you do not know the value of what it is Experientially you will never invest you You see this every day. Maybe you don't I do every day Well, you have also seen morning you get up You want to do your yoga, but every day there's something more important to do Then yoga Yes, look back in your life. What great things have you done which are so important? There'll be nothing great But when you want to do your morning meditation You will see there is something more important to do this means You do not hold human transformation as a very crucial thing You think it's an entertainment You think it's a side thing to do It's not the side thing to do it is the main thing to do Transformation is the main thing to do if we do not transform individual people You just have to do with a world full of criminals Some will come it some will not come it some will do it on the video game Some will have the courage to do it on the street Closet rapist or street rapist not very different, isn't it? Maybe for the victim, it's different but For the world that we live in it's not different. You're still living with such people, isn't it? So if this has to change we need to understand that Individual transformation is the most crucial thing if we are not willing to invest on that We just have to do with what we have And worse will come Not that it'll not come worse will come Every time there is no law in a certain place every time a war happens What happens there apart from the killing what happens there is worse than the killing Almost everywhere so These are all the same people that you live with These are your sons and husbands and brothers They are so nice But if if nobody's watching them, they are something else Transformation means just this That who you are is not determined by Other people's opinions or other people's presence you are like this Somebody's there or somebody's not there This is the way you are. This is transformation If this in this direction humanity does not make an investment In this direction if every parent does not invest upon their children to transform them into a more inclusive human being Inclusion just means this technically to bring it down to very technical level inclusion Don't teach it in the name of love embracing the world this and that Inclusion just means this that Who you are is not limited To the absolute boundary of your physicality It is little more if it's little more the very way you walk on this planet The very way you breathe upon this planet the very way you exist in this planet will be different simply because Your idea of who you are is beyond the boundaries of your physicality. This one thing happens to the human being Suddenly he's different in every possible way so investing Investing in a spiritual possibility a possibility beyond one's physicality Is the only ultimate answer there is But if you want long-term benefits, it's a long-term investment Short-term shoot the guy hang the guy Well, you will breed another 10 tomorrow and don't think these rapists or whoever some horrible creatures who landed from somewhere Everybody has these drives but Many have cultivated the a certain level of discretion Where they will not allow their hormones their urges and their longings to go beyond a certain point This cultivating this discretion Some people naturally have it to a certain level Some people have a little less of it culturally in terms of home situation in terms of schools if this Discretion is not brought about it Individual person is able to employ his discretion. It doesn't matter how hungry you are how long how much you're longing You're able to stop yourself at a point if this discretion is not taught to every individual if this is not cultivated One drop of alcohol, they'll become animals So what is happening? Very nice people One drop of alcohol. They're becoming like animals because their discretion is taken away. They were always animals controlled But once you remove the stopper it goes away. So this is one way but the more important way is To evolve this human being to your place where he is a being he is not driven by his body alone Body is just one aspect of him. If you close your eyes your body should disappear All the needs of your body should disappear It does to some extent for everybody to what extent is a question of how much have you invested? If you invest enough if you close your eyes This body and the ways of this body do not apply to you anymore This needs to happen more than ever now because Humanity is on a certain threshold We can either fall this way or that way We are in numbers like never before We are packed on the planet closer than ever before If you're going to really sit close up with everybody upon this planet, it's very important that people next to you don't stink, isn't it? No Yes or no if each one of you We're living in your own forest desert or mountain. We didn't care how they smelled So we are living very close up World is getting more and more populated So it's very important that people who sit next to you are clean and well behaved Isn't it?
