 I am Aicha, your host for today, and it is my pleasure to welcome you all to the Conscious Planet, same soil event in Istanbul, will be an unforgettable and a very special day in three ways. First, we are hosting a very special person, a very precious person. Who do we host in Istanbul today? We meet here for a very important and essential purpose. What is the purpose of the movement? Save soil! Today is the 23rd of April, a very important day, the celebratory day which Ataturk, our founder, gifted to all children of the world. This day reminds us that we borrowed the world from our children and we need to save soil for them so that they can live their lives. Today marks the 34th day of Sadguru's unmatched, unique journey across the world, intensifying the same soil movement worldwide. Sadguru started his solo motorbike journey from London on 21st of March, which will take him 30,000 kilometers across 27 countries from UK to Middle East and India. 34 days of relentless rain, storm and wind throughout his journey did not prevent him from riding hours from London, cruising through Netherlands, Germany, Prague, Vienna, Slovenia, Rome, Geneva, Paris, Brussels, Cologne, Frankfurt, Salzburg, Bratislava, Budapest, Belgrade, Sofia, Bucharest, which have hosted the same soil event so far with full enthusiasm and support. Today, he is here with us in Istanbul to spread the message of environmental awareness saving soil is necessary to maintain life on our planet. I will now spread the message on social media channels. Use our hashtag Save Soil and tag the profile ConsciousPlanet and ConsciousPlanetTurkey. I want to share this with you in Turkish. Your support is very valuable to spread this movement. We ask you to use the hashtag SaveSoil to save the soil and to tag your posts on the ConsciousPlanet page. And now, just before we start the end conversation, we would like to share the science behind the Save Soil campaign. Let's watch our video. We are talking about climate change, carbon emissions and global warming and various other aspects, but we are not addressing soil. Soil is the habitat upon which zillions of lives thrive. Once there is no richness in soil, then you have forsaken the planet in many ways. Every responsible scientist in the world and the UN agencies are clearly saying we have only eighty to hundred harvests left. That means approximately forty-five to fifty years of agricultural soil left on the planet. By twenty forty-five, we will be producing forty percent less food than what we are producing right now and our populations will be nine point three billion people. The food shortages that could manifest in the next twenty-five years, the consequences of that is unimaginable. Civil wars will unfold across the world once there is food shortage. What we are facing now is soil extinction. Why is soil becoming extinct? Where is it going away? What is happening to our soil? We must understand if you add organic content to sand, sand will turn into soil. If you remove all organic content from the soil, soil will become sand. In normal agricultural soil, the minimum organic content should be between three to six percent. The most minimum is three percent. At least this minimum to keep the soil alive, to keep the soil as living soil is a must. Agricultural soils across the world, the depletion is so heavy, in most countries more than fifty percent of the top soil is already gone in the last hundred years. The nutrient levels have dropped significantly. The level of micronutrients you would get from your food in early twentieth century to what you are getting from the same food now has dropped ninety percent. If you ate one orange in nineteen-twenties what you got from it, now in twenty-twenty if you have to get the same you will have to eat eight oranges. This is what we have done to our food. Soil is the biggest ecosystem on the planet and so few people know anything about it. One teaspoon of healthy soil probably contains more microbes than there are people on earth. The microbial life in the first twelve to fifteen inches of top soil is the basis of our existence. It is this magic beneath our feet which has produced the life that we are. Its first twelve to fifteen inches of soil is the basis of life for eighty-seven percent of life on this planet including you and me. We have to begin to recognize that what we call our soil, mother earth is a living organism. Open soils ripped open by ploughing open to sunlight is the basis of destruction of microbial life. So the focus should be on agriculture, the focus should be on seeing that land is under shade as much as possible. Some kind of shade grasses, herbs, bushes, trees, conscious planet is launching save soil movement to bring about a policy change to regenerate soil. As a part of this I am sixty-five and I am riding thirty-thousand kilometers a lone motorcycle journey thirty-thousand kilometers across twenty-four nations to activate support from the citizenry to assure the governments long term investments will be appreciated. So it is extremely important that soil regeneration is enshrined in the policy of every government on the planet. We must change the narrative on the planet that soil is a wealth, a legacy we have received from previous generations and we have to pass it on as living soil for future generations. We are in a cusp of time if you do the right things now. In the next fifteen to twenty-five years we can significantly turn this situation around and regenerate the soil. But if we allow this to progress like this for another thirty to forty years after forty years if we attempt this then it could take hundred-and-fifty to two hundred years because that much loss of biodiversity would have happened. From twenty-first of March for one hundred days the whole world, every human being on the planet should talk soil. We must hear the word soil, save soil everywhere to see that the narrative on the planet changes towards the most vital aspect of our life, the soil. Each one of you should reach as many people as you can to make this happen. Many global leaders and influencers are already participating in the movement. Be a part of this and let us make it happen. From my part as much as I can contribute. We are going to save the soil, do your part, and save you in the soils. Our future, our children's future, and our planet's future depend on it. Save the soil. We know what we must do. So let's make it happen. Let's make it happen. Let's make it happen. Let's make it happen. Let's make it happen. Let's make it happen. Let's make it happen. Let's make it happen. We're witnessing some wonderful performances by the talented musicians of the TUMATA team. Kanakey Güvenç Akçay, Sertac Akçay, Halime Atalay, Ayla Karaca, and Emine Kesici, all uniting for our cause, celebrating our cause, which is saving the soil of our planet. Let's welcome them on the stage. Dear guests, welcome.

The first work of our work is a piece of Kazakh Turks, a work of Seni Kalaay Umutayım. There is a young musician, Ceneşe, who fell in love with a girl in the village. He made the works of Ceneşe and Ceneşe. Our young musician, Ceneşe, composed a song for Ceneşe, and sang it in a sweet way. Ceneşe, Ceneşe. TÜRKMÜZİKİSİNİ, we invite you to the TUMATA TÜRKMÜZİKİSİNİ, we invite you to the TUMATA TÜRKMÜZİKİSİNİ, we invite you to the TUMATA TÜRKMÜZİKİSİNİ, we invite you to the TUMATA I spent 50 days in the jungle and I miss my loved ones. You can sing to the people, Ceneşe is singing to you. TÜRKMÜZİKİSİNİ, we invite you to the TUMATA They're of the Tumata team for this enchanting party. This is the Baksa dance. People say that this dance should be done once in their lives. Our daily routine is like this. Because we start with the earth connection dance. The Baksa dance starts with the divine channel. We start with the ritual of the earth connection dance. And the movements go up to the sky. Because the earth connection and the earth connection are important, we invite you to this dance for the healing of our whole world and our earth. You can come to the front if you want. You can come to the front if you want. This is the Baksa dance. This is the Turkish shamanic dance. This is the healing dance. We invite all of you to do this ritual. To save the soil, to save the planet, to save the peace. You can join us. Translate this because it has a meaning. Let me translate for our foreign international friends. The song was a healing song. We left our bodies. We are dancing by healing the five elements in our body. We started with soil. And then moved to water, fire, wind, and then Akasha. And then they came back. And maybe you understood already. So they wished healing for the soil. Thank you very much again to the Timata team. Before you became lost, reached his 34,000 kilometers long journey. He has crisscrossed through the paths of Europe, braving rains and storms, traveling ceaselessly on and on to accelerate the awareness for save soil campaign. The world is rallying for save soil. Sadguru is riding for the future generations who have danced with us today to share with you some precious and exciting moments of the save soil movement with Sadguru. Some are happy, some are tumultuous, some are funny, some are dangerous. It is like the world and like life itself. Let's see his journey up until now and let's witness how the world is dancing in the save soil rhythm just like we did a minute ago. Let's watch the video. So this memorandum of understanding that we cite it will also bring some technical assistance to the Caribbean region. This is a historic moment because here is the first step to turn around. It's an extraordinary campaign. You know, it's shocking and unnerving. Wish you a very successful, joyful, accelerating journey. I will take care of the acceleration and enjoy myself. What I need is next 100 days from 21st of March we want the whole world to talk about soil. If you want to say I love you to your child you must just say save soil because it is a more committed way of saying I love you. You are probably one of the most famous Indians and what you're doing today is really important because people like you who have a wonderful following of millions and millions of people and what you're doing with that is so important with saving the soil. In the last 20 years over 300,000 farmers have committed suicide. If this doesn't wake you up what else am I asking? What else needs to happen? Sadhguru, you have the ability to change the world for the better. This many people, 6,000 people with today's technology available, various platforms available if you make up your mind you yourself can reach 3 to 4 billion people. Yes or no? Will you make it happen? It's not about the motorcycle it's not about the journey it's not about the song it is about moving people on the planet. Make it happen, huh? I don't have many followers what is the thing I can do to help to save the soil? In your neighborhood, do a jig. Initially people will think what's wrong with her? After some time kids will come and dance with you tell them just go and tell your parents they must talk about this I'm saying go and request people I'm saying at this time if you don't talk to people we will be a very regretful generation please let's not go there. I think if we all contribute then we can, we have a really strong voice save soil. It is about to start there is lot of clothes still waiting for us to get inside So much excitement and everybody is so excited to hear Sadhguru talk about save soil Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Tonight was absolutely horrible Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey It is a very charismatic and he says it as it is I want all graffiti artists to whatever walls that you have make sure that you use this this is our time this is our time on the planet what we do here is our business let's do the right things and save soil and let's make it happen one of the most beautiful cities of Europe it is time that we in 21st century show that we are a mature citizens of this planet that we want long term well being for ourselves and future generations this is the opportunity save soil is that moment Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey I am so sure and I am convinced that both our administer of agriculture as well as the entire ministry fully supports that trend of that direction he is offering me much more than I came to ask him it's our common issue together it's not for one nation for one person but we as people have to unite and to solve this this is a wonderful city of Vienna soil is a common denominator to bring all of us together make sure the world gets it now la la la la la is your mantra for now for this 93 days and above all don't pick a fight with anybody it doesn't matter what they are doing because we need every one of them Yes, I know what is an important thing but it's a such an important thing that we can do without in our lives at least from here on cutting-edge technology should not go into military weaponry this you must pitch for So, how do you feel here in Ljubljana in Slovenia? Feeling like it's home Reshima first all of us have been part of this destruction the only way is all of us become part of the solution also so let's make it happen Let's just say save soil While these issues could not have been imagined a few centuries ago those to us our children and our future generations are huge it was just yesterday Earth Day urging conservation of our planet with environmentally sustainable behaviour so today my opinion is most timely now I would like to invite Sadguru gathering Naskar Igunlar let's hear him let's hear for him Thank you very much Thank you Thank you very much Thank you Jannanam Sukadhar Maranamka Any Turkish words yet? Just to put this in context The chant is rolling away Hello? Can you stop it anybody? Oh What is this? It's going on the YouTube straight away so you can take it you can take it from there those of you looking at me through your third eye please sir this combination ah what a mess people time and energy that's all and you don't have to do anything about time you don't have to are you are you a planet spinner? do you spin the planet? hello those who are in the upper regions do you spin the planet every day? nothing if you I'm saying it's free you don't have to do anything life rolls away without any effort isn't it? hello? do something if you don't do something if you're awake, if you're asleep time just rolls away time rolling away means away this is not a talk ticking this is life ticking away hello? if you're conscious of it and lead one way if you have a sense of immortality about yourself I'm just reminding you before you and me came here countless number of people on soil unless your friends choose to bury you real deep you know sometimes it's like that can I tell you a joke you're getting very serious out there hello? this happened in Texas anybody from Texas hello? that's good because before telling a joke I just make sure because Texas people carry big guns you know so a couple in Texas wanted to visit the holy land they were in their twenties but you know they got married and honeymoon lasted for three months then children came and children came one, two, three, four, five and they went to school they went to college they got graduated this happened that happened children, grandchildren happened they went to school they were seventy-five years of age now they got the opportunity to go to the holy land so they went to Jerusalem they're overwhelmed this Jerusalem these cobblestones bleed history you know every cobblestone supposed to say something so they walked the same street that Jesus is supposed to have walked they went to that place where he's supposed to walked upon water so many things everything is history they were overwhelmed unfortunately the lady had a heart attack and she died this happens you know wherever you are so the man was preparing to take her back to Texas the body then the local people came the local people came and said see she has done the right thing she has come to the holy land and she died here this is the right thing to do you should not take her back to Texas and above all they're charging you eighteen thousand dollars to transport the body back to Texas plus local charges there because you're American because you're such a good friend of ours we will just do it for sixteen thousand dollars we'll do all the rituals she's done the right thing and we will do the right thing let's do it the man thought about it and said no I'm taking her back to Texas they said oh you are too distressed you know after so many years of marriage you lost your wife you're distressed you're not able to think straight we will further give you discount because you're from Texas twelve thousand dollars let's do it the man thought about it and said I will take her back to Texas they said see this doesn't make sense eighteen thousand dollars for the for the transportation then local charges we are telling you six thousand what is this you're saying Texas, Texas thirty seven years of marriage and now you can't think straight alright we'll make it last last offer six thousand dollars let's do it the man thought about it and said no I'll take her back to Texas they said come on what is this this doesn't make sense eighteen thousand dollars for the saying, Texas, Texas, he said, in Texas, dead, stay dead. This is the important thing about life. Whatever fancy ideas you have, whatever fancy ideas somebody else has, it doesn't matter. We can only live with reality. We can entertain ourselves in our mind with fancy ideas. But when we step, we have to step on the firm ground. There is simply no other way, hello? You come to that place or no, or you're still such a wild romantic, you're still thinking you can walk off the balcony, don't do that anybody, I didn't give you an idea. The simple process, the simple process of being happy, peaceful has become such a complicated process, simply just to be joyful, just to be peaceful. And above all, when you were four, five years of age, you were joyful by yourself, you're bouncing with joy, isn't it? Somebody had to make you unhappy. Now somebody has to make you happy. Look at the equation, how it got reversed. Why did this happen? There are many aspects to it. The simplest thing is this, can I tell you a story about Istanbul long time ago? At that time it was called Constantinople and it was on the Silk Road. So many, many stories from India, India is a country where there is a story inside a story inside a story inside a story inside a story inside a story. So some of those stories kept floating across the Bosphorus and reaching you people here. So many people excited about many things. Everybody said, you know, trees of gold grow there, and the fruits are diamonds. You heard the stories. So everybody started going towards India. All those people who got lost in the oceans from Europe, all were wanting to go to India. One guy made a mistake and ended up in America, you know? You know the story. Everybody wanting to go, why? Because stories in stories, one of wealth and immeasurable sense of prosperity. Stories of mysticism and wonder and magical ways of living. So somebody here got very excited about mysticism and magical ways of living. How there are many people in India, they can take their head and keep it next to them and sit here, various things. And how there are people who have lived their entire life without a moment of anxiety or angst or anger, simply blissed out all the time, these kind of stories. So this got somebody excited here and he went all the way to India. Those days walking here and there in the mountains, a little bit of donkey ride, reached India and somebody told him, you must go to South India. India itself is for walking, southern India, more. He walked all the way down and somebody guided him. See, if you go up this mountain like this, like that, this is the landmark. If you go there, there's a little cave. In that there is one yogi, he's the right man for you. How a man made the journey. He went there and as they had said in front of a cave, a yogi was sitting, simply blissed out. Hello? Are you getting serious, that's the problem. I want to tell you this, the only and only reason why the whole population has not naturally realized the fundamental truths about life is they are dead serious about their life. That's the whole thing. See you must first get serious and then die. If you first get dead and then serious, you're doing something fundamentally wrong. Hello? Yes or no? You're doing something very wrong. Just dead and then serious. So he went there and he saw this yogi simply sitting there, blissed out. So he went, he had heard that if you see an Indian yogi you must prostrate and he went down and scraping his knees and making some difficult nicest, already he was tired with this big walk and climbing the mountain. He heard all this commotion and he opened his eyes and he smiled. The man who got to smile back, he asked, can I ask you a question? The yogi said, oh by all means, question, right? This is not a land where questions are a problem. Question is the way of the nation, question is the way of the culture. Even if so-called divine beings come, Indians will only ask questions. Adiyogi came, his wife asked him a thousand questions. Krishna came, his closest friend asked him hundreds of questions. We were trekking in Tibet about five years ago. We had a group of people were about thirty-six, thirty-four, thirty-six or thirty-seven nationalities were walking with us, just a small group. And we met in one mountain, you know, one small little place and top of a spectacular mountain place and one Indian person stood up. He lives in United States but still very Indian. If they go out of the country, they become more Indian than Indians always. So he stood up and started asking a question. I had also just climbed the mountain and I also needed time. The question went on for eight minutes. Question inside a question inside a question inside a question. Because the Indians have twenty-five thousand years of experience in asking questions. So then I stopped, around eight minutes I stopped and said, see, although there are so many nationalities here, they're all getting confounded. You never heard a question like this, you stop, they won't get this. Then I was telling them how India is a land of questions because India doesn't have any belief system. It is always about seeking the truth. So seeking the truth means people questions, questions, questions about everything. Then when I said this thing about India's question problem, so one Chinese lady was walking with us. She said, Sadguru, I worked in United Nations for twenty-seven years, even there only Indians asked questions. A man, a man just arrives, he would not even say hello, not a smile, he says, I have a question can I ask you, it's normal, all right, question. So then the man asks, man from Istanbul asks, what is life? He's over sixty years of age already. He says, what is life? See what is life you should have asked when you were eight. Well, if you were a little like that, at least when you're sixteen you should have asked, what is life, sixty plus, all right, better late than never they say. So when he asked this question, what is life, the yogi who was sitting like this went into raptures. He said, life, life, life is like the fragrance of jasmine upon gentle spring breeze, fragrance of jasmine upon gentle spring breeze, that's life. Our teacher told us, life is like a thorn. If you step on it, it hurts, if you lie on it, it hurts, if you sit on it, it hurts, whatever the hell you do, it hurts. And if you try to take it out, it hurts. And you're saying, life is like the fragrance of a jasmine upon gentle spring breeze, what is this? And the yogi smiled and said, haha, that is his life. So I want you to understand, your life, the way it is right now is your choice. This is the significance of being human, how you are right now is your choice. What you have, where you are, may not be your choice, hello? May not always be your choice, but how you are right now is your choice. You must exercise this choice, isn't it? Hello? Hello? I am just asking the people down here, this, all these people, are they perfect people, that's why they are up there? Hello? You didn't hear what I asked. No, no, no. Because this perfection problem is there in everybody's life, you know, we are a volunteer organization, over 5,600 full-time volunteers, seventeen million part-time volunteers. No, no, no, don't clap at my problems, don't clap at my problems. I'm telling you my problem. But what a volunteer organization means is, everybody is, they, you know, they wear their heart out, but they are not trained to do the job, they want to do it. But most of the time they don't know how to do it, and you have to get it done somehow. And you can't fire them for inefficiency because they are volunteers. You manage something like this, you'll go crazy. So this aspect of making a choice as to how you are. So these people come to me, who are working and say, «Sadhguru, he is so horrible, I can't work with him, she is terrible, I can't look at her face. That person is unbearable. I say, see, in this world, there are only horrible people like this one, this one, that one, that one, that one. Only horrible people. But if you know, if you have realized what you're doing is very significant, you have to work with all these horrible people. If you want to work with perfect people, you must go to heaven and today. Hello? You must make your choices, isn't it? And they're also clapping. Because in the upper world also it's clapping. So this is all our human problem is that what is within us, we seek elsewhere. For you to be peaceful, joyful, blissed out, healthy, well, all from within, isn't it? Hello? Human experience happens from within. Ah, gathering things happens from outside. And if you're joyful, whether you sit on the floor or on the chair or in the upper region, does it make any difference? Because you're joyful. If you're miserable, everything matters, hello? Everything matters. Not only what you wear, oh, even that your tear must be bigger than the others. If you have the money, no, no, I'm just joking, you're wearing proper. You're not fashionable, it's all right. Now, this is the whole thing. What is... when one place we look for it in another place, what is here? We don't know how to do it. We know how to do it elsewhere. This is a serious problem, very serious problem. Now, you... you heard of that potato farmer that I spoke? No. No. There was a potato farmer in Turkey. He wanted to eat apples. I'm saying apples because you do not know something as exciting as a mango. Because how can I talk about apples in the month of April? Huh? See, I'm stuck here in Istanbul in the month of April. This is a time in India, there's only one religion, mango. You heard of Rabindranath Tagore? Rabindranath Tagore was a great poet and he's also a Nobel laureate. So he was asked one day how old he was and he said one year less than what he was on that day. So his friend who was next to him, he said, hey, why are you saying one year less than what is your age? He said that one year during the mango season I was in London, I don't count that as life. So this potato farmer went to eat apples. He went to the right tree, the apple tree. But out of sheer habit he started digging the earth because he's a potato farmer. He was looking where apples though. He found no apples there, he became furious. So he dug furiously. And slowly the tree came down upon him. Well, this is the state of humanity right now. In search of human happiness and well-being, we are digging the planet through and through. Hello? Turning it upside down, doing all kinds of crazy things. This is not by some evil design. There is no evil design. There is no somebody sitting somewhere and thinking how to destroy the planet. There is no such thing. It's just you and me. Hello? It doesn't matter what is the nature of your activity, how… whether you eat or not, whether you breathe or not, I'm giving you all the options. But still one way or the other, all of us are partners in this destruction. Yes or no? The only way is all of us become partners in the solution, there is simply no other way. So what is the state of the soil? Why is even soil issue? I was in London and this lady journalist comes to me and says, «Sadhguru, of all the things, why something so unromantic as soil? Why did you pick this up? You could have picked up something else. Maybe a cloud in the sky, maybe the moon, maybe something else. So, now soil because we need to understand this, nearly a billion years ago. This is not a story, this is science, okay? Nearly a billion years ago, a very smart fungi or an algae, we don't know which one. Do you know whether it was a cave man or a cave woman who first cooked the food with fire? You don't know? You don't know? Generally they say it's a cave man. No, no, I'm just saying what they say. I didn't… I'm not picking a fight with you now. Oh, why you're the one who sets fire in the house? So, we don't know whether it's an algae or a fungi, one very smart algae or fungi learned how to cook its food with the perpetual energy of the sun. This phenomena today we call as photosynthesis. Before the phenomena of photosynthesis started on this planet, by this fungi or algae, the oxygen content in the planet's atmosphere was only one percent or a little over one percent. Today it's twenty-one percent. Because it's twenty-one percent, you and me are breathing, you and me have even become possible to exist and many other complex lives have become possible to exist and even with a mask on you can breathe. Yes. So this whole process of life happening here is… there are many aspects to this but just breath because in human life whether somebody is alive or dead, how do we check? This is not there? Gone. Yes or no? So considering that context, this wouldn't be there if this photosynthesis was not happening. Now in the last thousand years, the volume of photosynthesis that has disappeared from this planet is eighty-five percent, eighty-five percent of the photosynthesis is gone. It's not happening because nearly seventy percent of the land is plowed and maybe there is some photosynthesis for two or three months, rest of the time there isn't. Another four point two percent of the land is urban land which is largely paved. Plowed land and paved lands, there is no photosynthesis. If you don't understand what I'm talking about. Actually we don't have a picture of this planet from about thousand years ago. We definitely don't have. Even hundred years ago I doubt if it is there. But definitely fifty years ago there are pictures. Just fifty years ago how much green cover was there on the planet, how much is there today? Sixty-seven percent of the vertebrate life has disappeared from the planet. Ninety-two percent of the freshwater aquatic life has disappeared from the planet. Eighty percent of the biomass insects are gone. What is our plan really? What is our plan? I hear a child's voice. What is our plan? What is our plan for our children? Are we stupid? Are we crazy? What are we? We say, oh no, no that industry, this industry, this politician is corrupt, that politician corrupt. This is the nonsense everybody's talking. When most of the countries in the world are democratic and individual citizens if they don't stand up, somebody else is going to fix it. What I have seen in these two years, continuously traveling and talking to thousands of people, all the top scientists in the world, bureaucrats, agriculture ministries in various countries, political leaders, I realized everybody knows the problem and they know how serious it is. But generally they also know what is the direction of the solution. Then I thought, what is this? Everybody knows the problem, everybody knows the solution, why? Then I realized they are all… they have all been waiting for an idiot to come and bell the cat because in everybody's mind somebody else should do it. I am just telling you, there is nobody else here, there is nobody else here but you and me. Hello? You think somebody else is going to come and do it from somewhere? There is nobody else. Either we do it and be that generation which turned back from the brink of a disaster or be that kind of generation which walks into a disaster and then cries over it. See when I say walking into a disaster and crying over it, just tell me in the last hundred years how many wars have we fought as human beings? You don't think in terms of nations, race, religion, as human beings how many wars have we fought? You don't even count, isn't it? Hello? Nobody here in this hall I know, do not know how many wars have been fought because you think it's natural. Now when it happens in front of our home, oh we are very upset because we have this habit of walking into a disaster then crying about it. No I want this generation to be that generation which walked away from a disaster, not walked into a disaster. Are you that one I am asking you? Because when disasters are mitigated before they happen, nobody will know about it. Nobody is going to give you a medal or an award. If a disaster happens then you go and give your shoulder to somebody to cry, that will be seen and reported. When you avoid the disaster nobody will know that it happened, isn't it? So if you don't get any medal, award or nonsense, is it still worthwhile that we do something as a generation that turns life, the possibility of life back again rather than walking into a disaster? That was a question. Hello? Guys I hear little voices, huh? Adults are all, let me tell you, let me tell you, let me tell you. In the year 1861 this happened in Istanbul, you know there were no spacecrafts and things landing on the moon and all that, people always looked at moon fascinated all over the world. So here also they were looking at it and the way it's changing its shades and the way things happen it looks like something is moving out there. So people decided, ah there are people there, just like us, there are people, we must talk to them. So how to talk? There was no other means of communication, so the wise men in this town decided, let us all arrive on a full moon night, we will all get to the top of our buildings, our homes and whatever buildings we have and the top of it, wait for exactly eight pm or eight pm, all of us in one voice will say who, they will hear it and let's say what they say. Now I'll count one, two, three, I want all of you to say who in such a way, people and the… if there are people on the moon they must hear, okay? Okay? One, two, three. Now you become such wonderful people of Istanbul but on that day, on that day I was also living in Istanbul, I had just come from India, this strange land for me, I'm looking around still and all these wonderful people are here and all of them at eight pm are going to say who, such a fantastic event, I am just a small Indian person, what will I do? You know, I'm such a little person, what will I do? My voice is not so important. So I decided, let me hear all the wonderful people of Istanbul saying who. Then I just stood there, eight o'clock came and it passed in total silence. You didn't get it? Huh? You didn't get it? Ah, this is the whole problem with the world. When it comes to contribution, I become so small. When it becomes to receiving something or it becomes so big, this is the problem. Oh my voice, what can I do? All these wonderful people, they are all doing, I mean, it's you, it's you as an individual human being who is important. Hello? Hello? This is not a fight, this is not an agitation, this is not a protest. This is our expression of our love and responsibility for the life that we are and the life that should be tomorrow, huh? I'm saying this because every time if somebody utters the word ecology, environment, first thing is who shall we bash, whose face shall we bash now? Coming out on the street and saying ugly things at somebody else or shouting or throwing something in somebody's face has become the norm. If you get angry about climate change, you will cause global warming, isn't it? Hello? Because this is not going to be solved with your anger. But this need sees a relentless commitment to see that it turns around. What can I do is the question, I'm just a small little person, Sadhguru, already many people are thinking, Sadhguru, I'm just at home, Sadhguru, I'm… I don't know anything, what can I do? Well, I'll tell you what you can do. You have a phone with your phone? Is it a smart phone or a dumb phone, what do you have? Hello? Smart phone? No, I'm asking this question because you refer to somebody as smart only when they're smarter than you, right? Yes or no? Now if you have a smart phone, all the time you should not be just sending silly messages on that. I'll allow five percent. You can send… send some silly messages. I know it's part of life, it's okay. But this smart phone must be used smartly. What you have in your hand is just not an instrument. It's a powerhouse if you use it properly. Just you, one person. If you really committed, just one person with this instrument can move the world, isn't it so? Yes or no? If you do the right things, this many people, if all of you are committed and you spend fifteen, twenty minutes a day to enhance the message, really if you use your ingenuity, so many young people are here, if you use your brains and your skills to do it right, I think I don't have to go on riding like crazy. Yesterday I rode eighteen hours, can you believe this through Bulgarian roads? Eighteen hours of riding, eight o'clock in the morning I left two a.m. I reached here and truck traffic was insane and the Turkish gate, I didn't say anything, okay? Then something is beyond you, you just bow down, okay? So all that we reached at two a.m. in the morning and I'm saying this, if you tell me now that you will make sure that the voice of his tumble will reverberate across the world as a concern for soil, then I can just settle down here for some time. That's supposed to mean, am I… Huh? Am I staying? So you'll take care of the whole thing. If you take care of the whole thing, yes, I will definitely come back. But I must hear the voice of his tumble wherever I go, people, oh, the people of his tumble or on fire about soil. If I hear that everywhere I go, I'm definitely coming back, all right? So this is very simple for a human being to be peaceful, to be happy, to be joyful, to be even healthy. It's very simple. People are asking me, Sadhguru, you know from India, even my family, what has happened to you? You're just… we're seeing the videos, what has happened to you? What will you do to yourself at this age? I was in… what, Bucharest, the media person, you know, I wrote about nine-and-a-half hours on that day and walked straight into a television interview. He said, how do you do it at this age? You just wrote nearly ten hours and you come straight into the interview and you speak for one-and-a-half hours on the television, just like that, how do you do this at this age? I said, see, I live so intensely, I never had the time to get old. You need time, right, to get… you need lot of time to get old, isn't it so? Hello? If you don't have the time, I have been asking for extra time, I have been requisitioning in every direction three-and-sixty degrees because I don't know which where… where the authorities are, that I need another four hours in a day. I need twenty-eight hours, no response, only twenty-four hours. And since you and me came here, all of us are two hours closer to our graves, yes or no? So this… this is our time, this is our time on the planet, hello? We are not going to be here forever, this is our time on the planet. What kind of people are we? Are we those people who will destroy everything and put our children there and watch the fun? Are we that kind of people, I'm asking? The UNFAO is saying, the food that we are eating today and the soil that we are consuming today does not even belong to these little children, it belongs to the unborn child. See, when we say unborn child, what we are referring to is the most defenseless life, nothing in his or her hands. He is not even him or her yet, hmm? Unborn child, eating up the food of the unborn child so helpless. Suppose a child, four-five-year-old child is walking on the street enjoying an ice cream, you grabbed it and edge it up. People will say, what kind are you, hello? Isn't it? Not fit to be human being, yes or no? But if you are eating up the food of the unborn child, this pains me. Will you relive this for me, hello? This is… this is not some doomsday talk I'm doing to you, every… every responsible scientist in the world is clearly pointing out by 2045, forty percent less food and over nine billion population. That is not a world where you want to leave your children, definitely. I want you to just imagine, because we've just forgotten in the last seventy to eighty years, we've eaten reasonably well and we've just forgotten, all over the world there used to be famines. When famines happened, people just didn't die like that. It took three to four months to die slowly because something here, there they'll pick and eat. There have been many parts of the world where when famines happened, unable to bear their hunger and determined to survive, people have chopped off their own children's limbs and eaten that. We should never ever again after so much development in technology and infrastructure, we should never ever push any human being in that direction ever in the future of humanity. This commitment we must have, oh, Sadhguru, you're talking about a hundred years later, oh, you know my problem, my profession, my boss, my wife, my husband, tch, are they're all there, I know. But I want you to understand, as an individual person you have so many small things going, but you're also a human being, isn't it? You're the only one, you're the only one that we refer to as a being. We never called a tiger a tiger being, we never called an ant an ant being, we never called even an elephant an elephant being, hello? Only you are a human being because you are the only one who is capable of deciding how to be irrespective of what's happening around us. If you know how to be, would you be blissful, loving, wonderful, hello? If you know how to be, if it was your choice, would you choose pleasantness or unpleasantness for yourself? Pleasantness, what you want for your neighbor sometimes may be debatable, but… So something so simple, because if you were feeling pleasant by your own nature, right now why I'm saying this is, this entire destruction has happened in pursuit of human happiness, not because of some evil design, in pursuit of human happiness. This is the case of a potato farmer, you know, digging for apples. If you want happiness, you must turn inward, isn't it? You want comfort and convenience, you arrange the sofa for yourself, hello? Both of you I'm telling you, no, but you'll find that. See when we say pleasantness, it's like this, if the body becomes pleasant, we call this health. If it becomes very pleasant, we call it pleasure. If the mind becomes pleasant, we call this peace. If it becomes very pleasant, we call it joy. If our emotions become pleasant, we call this love. If it becomes very pleasant, we call it compassion. If our very life energies become pleasant, we call this blissfulness. If it becomes very pleasant, we call it ecstasy. No, no, no, no, no, no. Some people are giggling because they're thinking of a round form of ecstasy, huh? Okay. I don't know in what form, is it a round tablet or a drop? That's not what I'm talking. There is something called ecstasy because I want you to understand, it was not manufactured in, you know, backstreet pharmaceutical factories because the most complex chemical industry on the planet is this one, human mechanism. Yes or no? Yes. Do you agree with me? Yes. So the question is only, are you a great CEO or a lousy CEO of this chemical factory? If you're a great CEO, you will definitely make it blissful and ecstatic. If you're a lousy CEO, you're making it anxious, miserable, whatever else. There are seventy-two versions of psychological ailments and sufferings. I don't know which number have you chosen, but the question is only this, you are either messing up your chemical soup or making a wonderful soup. If I give you all the same, let's say twenty-five ingredients are there in making a soup. If I give the same twenty-five ingredients to all of you, do you believe all of you will make the same kind of soup? There will be a thousand versions of the soup. So the question is only, are you a good cook or a lousy cook? The same goes for this, all of us have come with the same ingredients, hello? Whether you make this blissful or miserable is your choice. No, no, Sadhguru, you don't know maybe for you everything is working out. My life, my husband, my wife, my child, da, da, da. We know them, but you are the ones who chose them, right? Hello? People come to me, people come to me and say, «Sajguru, my mother-in-law, she's so terrible, I can't take it anymore. My boss, he's not even human and my husband, after all her son, like this it goes on. I say, see you come, come to the yoga center, you must come, I'm inviting you also. Come to the yoga center, I'll give you a nice place to live. We are next to beautiful mountains, I'll give you a nice place to live, good food to eat. You don't have to do anything, you just have to be joyful, that's all. Once in a way I will make random checks. If I find you miserable, I don't believe in feeding misery. We'll stop feeding you. If you're always joyful, I'll take care of you for the rest of your life. You don't have to worry about your life. No husband, no wife, no mother-in-law, no boss, nothing. You just live joyfully. Oh, in two days time, they have twisted themselves out like this because they want to do something and they want to call the mother-in-law and ask, are you suffering? I'm saying, if you are with me and you're suffering, you can say it's because of me. If you're sitting alone and you're suffering, obviously you're in bad company, isn't it? If you don't fix this company, it doesn't matter, in this hall everybody is blissed out, but you are miserable. Does it help, I'm asking? Does it help being in blissful company? Does it help being in blissful company if you're miserable? No, because your experience is the only thing you know. You don't know what's happening with them. You never know, isn't it? The only thing you're capable of knowing is what happens within you. If you don't manage that, you will turn the world upside down in pursuit of our happiness. As a generation of people, never before in the history of humanity, any other generation knew these kind of comforts and conveniences that you are enjoying. Yes or no? Never before. But are we any more joyful than what people were a hundred years ago or a thousand years ago? That means at least if something is not working for one hundred years, it's time to stop and look, isn't it? What are we doing? Because most of the damage to the soil has happened in the last hundred years. The damage that we had not caused in ten thousand years. For example, in southern India, there is a history of agriculture of over twelve thousand years, same land we've been farming, but we kept it rich and wonderful. In forty to forty-five years, we have turned it almost nearly a desert. This is because we've got lots of science and no sense. Yes, we see science is just an exploration. How we use it? We need sense to use it right? See right now most of the cutting-edge science only goes into military hardware, isn't it? Hello? So the more scientific we get, the more efficient ways of killing each other we will find. How sweet of us? Hello? We are finding, isn't it? People are advertising, they have a smart bomb that can go through your window. And land in your house from two miles up in the air. I'm saying, isn't this the dumbest thing that you go on using your intelligence to produce more and more stuff to kill more and more people? Isn't it the dumbest thing to do? But somehow in the world we think that is smart. This needs to change the young people. I'm getting old, okay? You need to change this because it's not going to change overnight. It may take twenty-five years or fifty years to change this. But if we don't strive, it'll only get worse. Hello? If we don't strive, it will only get worse. So people are talking about this. I hope that never happens. They're talking about, suppose you know some experiments were made, I don't know how far it's true, it's been, the stories are out. They can plant something in your phone. If you take it and keep it in your, one, some, some kind of, I don't know whether it's laser or something else shoots into your ear and you're dead. So smart phone, very smart, isn't it? I'm saying if you start using technology and human competence in negative ways, our very competence has become a curse, isn't it? Right now, that's what it is. Our intelligence and our competence has become a curse because there is no heart full of love for life around you. That's the main problem. Hello? When you're bereft of love, your head is a dangerous damn thing. Yes or no? If you had the brain of a earthworm, you could do whatever you want. You would still be eco-friendly. The problem is you got this big brain. Which is super capable. Once you have this big brain, you must fill this with lots of love and care for everything around you. Otherwise this damn brain is going to be so destructive, so destructive that people will think, why the hell do we have this? This happened three years ago. In southern Indian city called Hyderabad, you heard of this city? In Hyderabad city, there was a television anchor. A young woman, just about thirty-two years of age, I think. She, reasonably popular television anchor, she jumps off the fifth floor of her building and kills herself. She leaves a note. She says, because in India there is a issue that if a woman dies within seven years of her marriage, first thing is her husband will be arrested, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what. First thing he'll be… before investigation, first thing he'll be arrested and then investigation will happen. So she left a note, bold note that she wrote, nobody is responsible for my death. My brain is my enemy. I'm saying it took millions of years of evolution to get your brain to this level of capability and now it's your enemy. This is the greatest thing we have, hello? But this is your enemy. Well, she's an extreme case. But this is true for a whole lot of human beings, isn't it? Your own cerebral activity is freaking the hell out of you. You may think I have anxiety, I have fear, I have depression, I have this, I have that. No, you have only one problem. That is, your intelligence is working against you. That's all you have. Yes or no? Now I'll ask you a question, everybody must choose an answer because I'm going to bless you along with that. Do you want your intelligence sharp or blunt? Yes, sir. We heard it. You want it sharp. So if I give you a very sharp knife, first thing is your hand must be steady. If your hand is like this, your intestines will be out. This is what is happening right now, hello? You have an intelligence which is at a certain level of sharpness after millions of years of evolutionary work, now you don't have a stable enough platform. If you don't create that, then your intelligence will always work against you. Why this problem is, you know, this is not your fault, it's evolution, you know. Is Turkey okay with evolution? No, in your schools... No, I'm asking this question. I'm asking this question because our center is in Tennessee. In Tennessee, still in some schools, it's an option. They can teach either evolution or creation theory. So that's why I'm asking what is the situation here. You're also creation? Not allowed, is it? Okay, I am not getting into the politics of it. I'm okay with both. If you were just created, it's fine, you came out of a monkey, it's fine with me. Both ways, I just love the way you are. So what do I care how you came? If you find somebody very wonderful and you love them, do you ask them, were you normal birth for your mother or were you C-section? Do you ask? No. So I won't ask you which one you are. You're wonderful, that's all that matters to me. Anyway, as per the evolutionary scientists and the DNA and neuroscientists, what they are saying today is, your DNA is only two point... I mean, 1.23% different from that of a chimpanzee. Look, this is only science. I'm not saying it's the truth, it's the science. It's up to you what you make out of it. But the evolutionary science and the DNAs... Neurological science, genetic sciences say this, that your DNA is only 1.23% away from a chimpanzee. 1.23% is not much of a difference, isn't it? Not much of a difference, isn't it? Very close. So I'm saying physiologically, that is how close to a chimpanzee you are. But in terms of intelligence and awareness, your world's apart from a chimpanzee and that's your problem. You have an intelligence for which you don't have a stable enough platform. If you do not bring that stability into your physiology, into your chemical structure, into your energy structure, if you don't bring that, your intelligence is going to make a hell out of your life. Yes. So, as I told you, as I told you, if the voice of his tumble reverberates for soil across the world, I'll be listening. If it does, I will come and initiate you personally into inner engineering process, how to stabilize this building, this building or any building for that matter. When will you say, wow, it's well engineered? When you say, when it functions the way you want for you, isn't it? You are using some kind of a machine, let's say an automobile or something like that. When do you say, wow, this machine is very well engineered? When it does just what you want, isn't it? Is it not important, this one does just what you want. This one, that one, that one, they will not do what you want. This one person must do what you want, isn't it? Huh? But you are trying to get that one to do what you want and that's a fight. Usually it's called a love affair, but it's a fight. You want that one to do what you want. No, no, no, this one should do what you want. If this one person did what you want, you will live blissed out. Hello? Let's make it happen. So, the journey, I don't know what happened technically, they broke it. Is it on? Is it possible? Because we were just entering Istanbul, you didn't see that. Is it possible? Don't don't play it yet, just tell me. Huh? What's he saying? It's possible? From where they broke, from there, you come here, hello? So, one important thing is the journey continues. From here we are in Tbilisi, from there to Baku, from Baku we are in Jordan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and then Ivory Coast, Ivory Coast back to Saudi Arabia and from there to UAE, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. From there we are in Switzerland for the Davos World Economic Forum, we are in Ivory Coast for the COP15, where 197 nations are gathering and this time the team is soil. This has taken a lot of work here. Here, I'm sorry, I didn't get the name, our representative from UNCCD, the convention to combat desertification in Turkey is here. You want to say something? Is there a microphone? Is there a microphone, please? It's a great honor to meet you again here in Istanbul. After you, I really can't say anything, to be honest, but a little brief information about the convention, just like you mentioned UNCCD, the acronym just stands for United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. 197 parties, country parties, will be together in Avijan from 9 May to 20 May, so we will be there for two weeks and yes, we will, the countries will, the country parties will discuss. I'm there only for two days. And the country parties will be there for two weeks and discuss our future, our soil, our planet. I just, while we have a huge crowd over here, I just want to invite you at least try to get a sense of it in an online platform, because it will be also available on online platforms to I guess that's all. Thank you so much. Thank you. So this, why this convention for combating desertification is talking about soil, to make you understand this, see if you add organic content to sand, it becomes rich soil. If you take away all organic content from the soil, it turns into desert. For those of you who do not know, because if you utter the words healthy Arabia, you would think, oh desert, 10,000 years ago, this was a rainforest, just for you to think. That's how world changes. And this is the first time that this kind of change is happening on the scale that it's happened before on smaller scale. But at this scale, it's happening for the first time because of man-made reasons. We're leaving the woman out, will you protest on that? Okay, for man-made reasons, human beings are causing this for the first time. But there are other things happening. For example, see everybody's talking about in the next whatever, 30, 40 years time, the temperatures would go up 1.5 degrees to two degrees. If it goes up by two degrees, let's say, if the general temperature in the world goes up by two degrees, the wind speeds, this is something that's not been spoken by anybody, I know this very well from my inner experience and also my experience with the outside. The wind speeds in the world will pick up a minimum of 25 to 30 kilometers extra. Let's say when it's a cyclone or a, you know, winds happening, whatever kind of winds come, I don't know how strong the winds are in Turkey. It should be very strong because you're in the line, you're in that line. So, if the wind speed, if it let's say 100 kilometers is what you're getting the maximum wind speed, in if the temperature raises by two degrees, easily it'll be 125 to 130 degrees. Already there must be a lot coming in the form of dust, but if the wind speed picks up anywhere between 15 kilometers to 20 kilometers more on average, if that happens, it could happen that from the northern Africa, millions of tons of sand could rise and come and land in Bulgaria, in Turkey, in Romania, all these places. And overnight you could be desert. Normally this takes long time. Destroying the soil and becoming a desert takes a long time, but if the wind speeds pick up too much and when the wind lifts the sand in millions of tons, just overnight your houses could be covered in sand. It's possible such things have happened before, it could very much happen again. We are heading in that direction. For all this, the most important thing is there has to be more photosynthesis on the planet. The only way photosynthesis happens is not by wearing a green shirt. The only way it can happen is maximum amount of the land should have green cover over it. But we have agricultural lands everywhere, nearly seventy percent is agriculture. When we are not using the land for agriculture, compulsorily we must have a cover crop. This will greatly enhance the quality of the soil and we can… don't have to get any yield from it. It can be put back into the soil. Every year we have done this within a matter of six years, very degraded soil, six to seven years time because every year we are adding about one and a half inches to two inches of humus into the soil. In six to seven years it's well over three percent. Every nation can do this. It doesn't cost much money. It doesn't need any great science. It's a simple commitment with which it can be done and the word human comes from the word humus. It is that material in the soil that turns out like this. At least you understand the fragrance of the flower comes from the filth that you added the root. Yes or no? The same goes for this. What we think we are fine human beings, we come from the microbial activity that is happening in the earth and this is the very source. People are treating this as a resource. It is very important that we understand soil is the source, not a resource. All of us have fed upon our mother's breast, so do we call her a resource I'm asking? Hello? She is the source of our existence, isn't it? Similarly, the soil is the source of our existence, not a resource to be simply used and destroyed. Please all of you must stand up and make this happen. This is not my planet alone, this is yours too. Hello? What planet is that? I was just asking what planet is that? They're also here only? Great. I think they'll continue the video please. There is a... there is a soil anthem that I want all of you to get and make sure it reverberates across your country. We are in Venice, what a city. I'm a huge admirer of Rome because whoever did it, their sense of geometry is so fantastic. The former president of European Parliament 100% with us and FAO is our partners now. And we are very happy that we are aligned in our message to hide the profile of soils and we believe that is very much needed. This great city which is known as the Eternal City, we must understand over two thousand years ago this Eternal City made the mistake of over-forming the region and the erosions that caused did tremendous damage and that was also the fall of the city at that time. So the Romans of today should never make that mistake once again. In Geneva... I think there it's a message of urgency but it's also a message of hope. So I'd really like to thank Saguaro for his leadership. The global movement led by him addresses the soil crisis by mobilizing people around the entire world. This massive fountain in the lake of Geneva is lit up for safe soil today with safe soil colors of blue and green. You cannot stop this. The moment is on. It's going to be on till the policies are done. See when people want it, it definitely will happen. There's no question about it. Tell me will it happen? Yeah! It's a picking up speed. We already have one action which is an MOU to be signed between Isha Foundation and 4,000 initiative soils for food security in climate for cooperation in achieving our objective of creating a heavier soil. So it's been a super impactful two days here and just now we had our group of enthusiastic safe soil volunteers assembled near Eiffel Tower. It's fantastic. France has been great. All Brussels need to understand you have a bigger responsibility than most other cities because Brussels is not just the capital of Belgium, European Union. Let's put together and work on a common message for all to save a resource that determines our future. Save the soil. And then a smashing evening at the main event. A hall full of over 2,000 people and a super enthusiastic crowd committing themselves to make this happen. Safe soil on the moon. Let's make it happen. I'm back here on such a journey is quite extraordinary. We therefore highly appreciate your safe soil campaign. Let's make it happen. Just look up the news and see in the last four months how many governments have started talking about soil because they see it's picking up momentum. But if you create three to four billion people talking about soil, that's it. That will be the main conversation in the government. Education ministry in Germany has now come into the picture officially and asked all the children to do odd work to support safe soil movement. Wonderful. Congratulations that you wrote to the prime minister. Let's make it happen. So on the way to Batislava, well, the road surface is not great. Too many puddles of water, so can't maintain very high speed. It's great that all of you are here in Batislava. Nobody ever imagined 100 years ago that we will have to save soil of all the things. Thank you for coming to Bulgaria. It's a lot of food. I'm very happy to be your campaign. Would you like to come in the kitchen and cook with me a little bit? Why not? Without soil being rich, food won't be rich. Without food being rich, our bodies will not be a full potential. The old heroes always built something which stands up like this. But the new heroes are those people who will nurture the soil which always lies beneath our feet, never stands up. This wonderful city of Belgrade, the UNFAO said something which really deeply hurt me is the soil that we're consuming right now belongs not even to these little children, belongs to the unborn child. This is an expression of our love and responsibility for our own lives and the future lives. I think there is a great potential for a good collaboration, partnership with the campaign Save the Soil and what we are doing as a government, we can make it together. It's very important, bringing a certain sense of love and celebration towards the land that we walk upon. It's just after noon but temperatures are around two degrees, morning it was below zero, not a weather for motorcycle, for sure. Going from Sofia to Bucharest, organize yourselves whichever way you want, form groups, come together somehow and see this happens. This is a generational thing. We need to make this happen. Hello? This very body is soil. My body, your body, everybody is just soil body. This will not quench the fire of hunger. Unquenched hunger can burn the very world. This is a generational responsibility. Save soil, let's make it happen.
