 the Ansemakaal board and members of the Ansemakaal family. Captains of industry, our distinguished guests. On behalf of our hosts this evening, the Guardian Media Group, namaste and welcome. This is going to be an evening of wisdom, it is going to be an evening of meditation, an evening of bliss. It is an evening featuring sad guru and a martial Montana. I promise you that this is truly an auspicious event. It is an event of enlightenment, education, awareness, and truly will be awakening for our soul. My name is Hema Ramkesoon and I'll be your master of ceremonies. This evening, our energy will surely be moved by performances and also conversations surrounding the save soil movement. As we begin this evening, I just have one very little request and I please will beg your indulgence. We're asking that you remain seated for the entirety of this program, but also no flash photography and no recordings during the event. Our first performer, when I say it needs no introduction, needs absolutely no introduction, but it will be remiss of me to not recognize this great son of Trinidad and Tobago. He's the undisputed king of Soko. Marshall Montano is a son of Trinidad and Tobago who continues to fly the red, white, and black internationally. Among his recognized titles, well, they include singer, actor, record producer, as well as songwriter. His career began in 1982 at the age of only seven, launching his first album at the age of nine. This year, did you know he's celebrating 40 years in the industry? That is truly a massive milestone. Just recently, he was awarded the keys to the capital city. Marshall has shared the stage and has collaborated with so many world-renowned artists, including the likes of Ariana Grande, Pitbull, Drake, Rihanna, Shaggy, and so many more. As his presence continues to grow in the world of music, So too has his spiritual journey. He basically embarked on this journey and seven months ago, that journey was propelled when he completed a seven-month yoga program at the Isha Yoga Center in India. Culminating the program earlier this year, he performed at what he described was basically the greatest performance of his entire career, the Mahasivratri celebrations in India to a viewership of 140 million persons. And those persons consisted, yes, that is deserving of a round of applause. He's definitely taking Trinidad and Tobago to the globe, but Marshall Montana was also dedicating his time and effort to raising awareness about safe soil. He's taking this movement throughout the Caribbean and also to our Caribbean leadership. He has ensured that over six safe soil MOUs has been signed or have been signed so far and I'm confident that this mission will not stop and that it will only gain momentum. He's using his music as a platform to reach so many people with a critical message, safe soil. Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause and let us welcome to the stage to show our appreciation, Marshall Montana. Greetings, sense of excellence and everyone viewing, it's an honor to sing the message of safe soil. Namaskaram Satguru. And to all present, namaskaram to you. I say, come on, come on, come on, say, come awake, come awake before it's too late. All dignified guests and all conscious people about the soil, saving the soil, are we here conscious about this? I'm seeing musicians, I'm seeing farmers, and I'm seeing my beautiful people of Trinidad and Tobago, every creed and race. We to sing Soka music for safe soil and safe soil is the source of life so I have to go to the source of Soka music. This next song is called Touch the Ground and I welcome on stage the daughter of the source of Soka. Rasha Tiaz, beautiful daughter, March Blackman. Give me something, you can move, you know. Satguru, they can move, they can move. It's underground, then you can hear that you know this is where we are from. But meditation and bliss is also dancing. I had the absolute privilege of taking Soka music to India. Thanks to Satguru. And this was one of the most magical moments of my life. Seeing people dance and be joyful. This song is that song. All you got to do, give me a little faster. All you got to do is dance. Listen, you just got to, it's because all the tribe from million truly, million truly, tonight they were going to say Marsha Montano healing from Siparia. And I looked at them and say healing from Siparia, well, that's not correct. I was born in Karanaj. I moved to La Romaine. I grew up and became famous in Siparia. Then I moved to St. Augustine. Right now it's Woodbrook, I'm residing. I also go to Toko and do a little farming. So I am a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago, you know. My mom asked Satguru, Satguru, so where's home? You and you my friends. We are family. Other than that, we are family. And I know I didn't come here for this, but I got to do this right now. I got to do this. I got to do this. I got to show him what we do. I got to, if you get up with me, I'm going to get up with you. It is such an honor Trinidad, you've made me very proud. Trinidad and Tobago, I'm proud. We have a soul out audience. And we have so many people crying on the outside to get on the inside. I think we should do this again. This is probably the national stadium. Yeah. Okay. Now this is the anthem. You don't have to do anything but sing. Once you sing this song, you are an earth body, your body of the earth. Thank you to all the mayors I'm seeing here. Mr. Mayor of the south, Mayor of the north, distinguished government ministers, everybody who's here. Just say, la la le le le le. This is it. Once you sing this message, you'll be reverberated to the rest of the world. March, you've got to help me. I was so proud to have March Blackman's voice on this. Our voices rang across the entire planet. Are you proud of that, too? So here we go, sing with us. Say, la la le le le. La la le le le le. Responsibility. Save side. Let's make it. Please enjoy the rest of the evening. Describing this evening as meditation, bliss, and the awakening, I should have also included, you have to jump off your seats, get your heart racing, and there's going to be a lot of movement tonight. Before we continue, I would like to recognize a few persons in our audience. Senator, the Honourable Knight of the Freitas, Minister in the Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries, Minister de Freitas is representing the Prime Minister this evening. He's also among us, and I think that Marshal Montano also recognized a few persons, but Cricket legend Brian Lara is also here. Give a round of applause. Now, if you follow Marshal's social media, you would understand that there was a golf game. I do think, Brian, that Marshal does want another round, and he's promising to be a lot better this time around. Ladies and gentlemen, this is an evening of enlightenment, but also we have a number of causes to educate you about. And at this time, I would like to begin my welcome and introduce you to none other than our Honourable Guest, Sadguru. Sadguru is a yogi, and a round of applause before I even start. I must say, I must prepare for that every time I say your name, so I'm going to do a pause every time I say it. But Sadguru is a yogi, he's a mystic, a New York Times best-selling author, and he's truly one of the most influential visionaries of our times. He's the founder of the Isha Foundation, supported by over 16 million volunteers worldwide. He has spoken at Google, Microsoft, India, the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, the United Nations Conventions to combat their sophistication. He has been interviewed by Trevor Newell, Joe Rubin, countless others, I'm hoping a future and add-in to Big O Nationals will be in that list tonight. Sadguru has launched major ecological initiatives, Project Green Hands, Rally for the Rivers, Covery, all calling to address the urgent need to increase green cover, revitalize Indian rivers, and restore soil health globally. These initiatives have been recognized globally and they have been identified as game changers. They're establishing a blueprint for economic development, which is truly economically sustainable, but also ecologically sustainable. Sadguru has been invited by various organizations including the UN and several other international agencies. He's spoken at the World Economic Forum to discuss global solutions to many ecological issues so it is truly an honor to have him in our midst tonight. Earlier this year, Sadguru launched Safe Soil, a global movement addressing the looming crisis of agriculture soil extinction. Bringing together people from every walk of life across the globe to stand up for this initiative. I also want to mention that when we look at the Guru many people would not know that he recently concluded a 100 day loan motorcycle tour across Europe. A round of applause for that. I must say, even with all marshals working out movements I don't think any of us can do that right now but it truly was a mammoth movement and it ignited 3.9 billion people. It ignited their concern for the soil and created an urgency for governments around the world to implement soil revitalization policies. I invite you ladies and gentlemen to watch this video and learn more not just about Sadguru but about the Isha Foundation and about the Safe Soil movement. In the next half hour you're going to meet a man who has a devoted following across India and indeed around the world. While yoga and meditation are at the core of his teachings to promote individual growth the work of the foundation covers conservation, education and health and you'll find him astonishingly pragmatic on a range of very modern day problems. For the very first time in the history of humanity we have the necessary resource we have the necessary capability we have the necessary technology to address every human problem on the planet. Even 25 years ago we couldn't have dreamt of it but the only thing that is missing is consciousness. Today the Spotlight is on a project called Green Hands in India. We started a mass campaign and 6 years I spent planting people's heads. That's the most difficult terrain believe me and now in the last 6 years we've been transplanting it and that's happening much more easily. Action for rural rejuvenation is mainly aimed at rejuvenating the human spirit. This is an incredible movement that is started in Tamil Nadu we want to see that this happens to the whole country the idea is not necessarily about developing competitive sport but the important thing is to bring the spirit of sport and revitalizing rural societies. English and computer skills are very essential to make these children come out of the hopeless economic and social pit they are in. If you could first tell our viewers what is the idea behind it initiative, insight which is more specific towards entrepreneurs. Whatever the nature of your business ultimately it is all about human well being. Isha Foundation a non-religious, non-profit public service organization headquartered in southern India. Satguru has established Isha Institute of Inner Sciences a place for inner transformation and complete well being. Surrounded by the serene forests of the Cumberland Plateau Isha Institute attracts visitors from around the world for its unique programs and special events. We've engineered the outside world in so many ways but we've done nothing about this one. If you want to know well being in is the only way out. This is what I want to teach you too that is you can be completely intoxicated without any drug just on life. This is a shift from wine to divine. We are tracking a mammoth movement an incredible rally starting from Kanyakumari reaching up to the Himalayas all in a month with the sole purpose of rejuvenating India's rivers. Every state is responding this is concurrence and this is wonderful. I'm very happy that Satguru has taken up this cause of people's movement movement for our own survival for the survivor of our children. We are launching a campaign called Youth and Truth in the month of September. Youth and Truth, Unplugged with Satguru ask whatever you want. Truth about ambition. Technology, astrology, self doubt. What is the appropriate age to have sex? Why do we have to wear a tie or a proper dress code in our placement? For every one of you your life is precious isn't it? This precious life where are you going to invest it? What is it that will be worthwhile today and worthwhile after 50 years for me to invest myself into? You invest your life into that this will be a life of fulfillment. He has a different side he's kind of Buddha to us Satguru has become this new friend of youth. If you have to describe yourself in one word would you consider wildlife as two words or one word? President Pranam Mukherjee felicitating his Satguru for all his spiritual contribution. The 100 day journey spanning 30,000 kilometers from London to India as part of a safe soil campaign. Its aim is to activate the support of over 3.5 billion people to change the world and make it a better place. It's a great pleasure for me these beautiful Caribbean nations are going for this fast. This memorandum of understanding that we are signing 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. This is not about the motorcycle it's not about the journey it's not about the song this is about moving people on the planet make it happen. It's our common issue together it's not for one nation for one person but we as people have to unite to solve this. The issue of personal health has been part of this destruction the only way all of us become part of the solution also riding on to Italy training heavily tonight The most dangerous thing has been the winds sometimes winds were gusting so literally my front wheel was just lifting up like it's a balloon Over two thousand years ago this ethanol city made the mistake of over-forming the region the Romans of today should never make that mistake once again. And we are very happy that we are aligned in our message to really try to profile of soils It's a message of urgency but it's also a message of hope so I'd really like to thank the Saguaro for his leadership We shall all stand up and make the most impact we can to create real change in the world Save the soil We're enthusiastic throughout committing themselves to make this happen Save the soil is a very important movement that we support as UNCCP We need to do everything to protect it and prevent harm to the soil The modern mothers if children go and put their hands in the soil and come they say your hands are dirty Now they're not dirty You are touching the source of your life They were just so happy to see them Your initiative and my full support One of the world's voices and leaders of soil conservation So it's extremely important It must be a single point agenda incentive based agenda I don't want this top 15 to end as one more convention with more paper and more paper This must end with concrete action You honor the country You honor the people of this country It's all about safe soil His thoughts and philosophies was across all cultures and religion 930 kilometers which means probably we'll have to ride the whole night My dear brother said Guru, I would like to thank you for including the United Arab Emirates on your inspiring journey I have what it means to be back in India It must have been created in 30 years but the power of the soil has also been met I think 25 million people are connected to this whole idea We are committed to this cause and I am here to say that Maharashtra is our sobat Isha Foundation's sobat and Safe Soil's sobat To save soil It's 27,854 kilometers Your daily pooja that for 10 to 12 minutes a day you will be able to see the world see the world see the world for 12 minutes a day you will spread the soil message To be here in Trinidad because the first leg of Safe Soil movement started from Caribbean islands and most nations of the Karikom group signed up and that was the first step from here we went on to London and the whole journey happened we really let all of you for being a part of it the governments of these nations recognizing the importance of what we are facing as a humanity So what is it that we are facing as a humanity Well the human problem is somebody is doing something very mechanical can you ask them to at the back please what is the human issue as human beings our lives became complicated so those of you who are looking at me through your third eye I'm in the phone it's already on the youtube you can download it from there so please yes the human issue is this once you have come here as a human being life got complicated if you had come here like any other creature on this planet stomach full life settled once you have come as a human being stomach empty only one problem stomach full one hundred problems because what it means to be a human being is not going to settle by settling the survival issues a human being is always longing to be something more than what they are right now hmm you are still wanting to be something more than what you are right now isn't it hello only if you are very sick or too shaky in your legs then you say dear god I don't want anything if I can just sit here that's good enough for me but tomorrow morning there is a little more energy coursing in your body once again ready for something more isn't it what is this something more whatever you know in that you seek something more if you know money you think more money if you know wealth you think more wealth if you know knowledge you think more knowledge if you know pleasure you think more pleasure whatever is your currency you always thinking more of that some people think this is not good enough I am giving up everything but I want to go to heaven nothing different because the longing within the human being to be something more cannot be quenched by philosophies ideologies and pacifist teachings always you are seeking something more if I make you this is an offer if I make you the king or queen of this planet will you be fulfilled and settle down hello this is a question will you be no you will look at the moon of course our moon we should include that also if I give you the solar system will you settle you look at the galaxy if you look at one galaxy you will want the other galaxy because there is something within the human being which wants to expand how much expansion will settle this one this wants to expand limitlessly if you want limitless expansion you should not use physical means because then you will become a disaster that is what soil problem is also about human beings want to expand but trying to do it physically suddenly we find the planet is not enough suddenly it is we can push it to a point where it could fall apart but essentially the problem is the longing to expand but that is not the problem the problem is trying to have a physical expression for this longing to expand if you want to expand limitlessly you must find something other than physical to expand because physically if you expand you will be in danger and the world will be in danger so your expansion is not literally physical but in other ways physical if it happens out of your physical body we call this sexuality wanting to be something more if it happens out of your mental efforts we call this ambition, conquest or simply shopping whatever you like to call it if it happens out of your emotion we call this love, compassion if you do it consciously then we call it yoga the word yoga does not mean twisting and turning yourself and ending up like a left over noodle yoga means union what does union mean right now I am just checking all of you breathing I heard only twenty three people saying that yes all of you breathing, check and tell me don't just say this see the problem is you are laughing because you think I am joking about it one day you shall not be breathing hello yes or no one day somebody will check like this and say it will happen to you it will happen to me right now you are breathing yes that's a good thing your breathing means in some way you are one with the atmosphere what you exhale the trees are inhaling what the trees exhale you are inhaling one half of your lungs is hanging out there if you genuinely experience this then we say you are in yoga anyway it's happening whether you want to experience it whether you want to experience it or not is up to you the question I am asking is do you want to experience your life or do you want to let it pass by you must tell me yes or no because I am going to bless you yes no silence all three will be blessed you want to experience your life or you want to just let it pass by if you want to experience it one important thing is you are awake hello what's the back row awake oh nice because it's already nine p.m so I am wandering in an island country you have to be awake you have to be as alert as possible all your faculty should be in place only then you can experience it if you want to experience more your faculty should faculty should rise to a different level of competence but right now you know in India I am in Bangalore you know where is Bangalore it is Bangaluru now okay you have to pronounce it rightly and I am there and these are conferences for under 25 for some reason they think I am under 25 and they invite me to speak so I go there and I am talking and then these guys 25,000, 15,000 to 20,000 people are there in an open ground and a strong smell of marijuana it's not legal but youth and then they ask me Sadhguru you have so much influence in the government why don't you make marijuana legal I say why not why marijuana I will make cocaine also legal opium also legal whatever else you want it is legal because what is the problem in go why we are going in installments we make alcohol legal then marijuana legal then cocaine legal let's make everything legal those who want to die will die those who want to live will live what to do then I ask them why you want it to be legal they are all university students you want to smoke up and go to the university they say why not I don't know what's the words you use here in India smoke up means it's marijuana smoke means it's tobacco I'm smoking means it's just tobacco I'm smoking up means marijuana so I asked are you you want to smoke up and go to the university say why not they will do one thing I'm I'll get you a ride on a small plane you're waiting but the pilot comes smoked up you want to fly with him they don't know what it means okay then I say okay you don't get it you need a surgery and major surgery you need it but now the doctor comes smoked up you want the surgery oh he said no no so you understand human faculties go down you bring down your faculties and then you say I am high what is this at least you say whenever you smoke these things you say I am down I understand you want to be down it's up to you but you want to be up and you're getting down that is stupid hello you want to be down what to do it's your business unfortunately it's your life it's your choice but you want to be up and you want down you're going down this is not a good thing to do it is like you sit in your car you want to go forward but put it in the rivers and do this and go bang into something this is stupid hello so are we against this are we against that no I'm just asking you this will life become enhanced let's let's use more specific examples suppose right now you're seeing suppose your eyes became like telescopes wherever you look you can see many things that other people cannot see would your life get enhanced hello but your eyes became half of what it is right now like it happens in the evenings for many people and it became half does life get enhanced I'm asking hello if you lower your faculties will life get enhanced only if you heighten your faculties life gets enhanced isn't it so having said that to enhance life I'm not talking about enhancement of life by adding more money more wealth more this more that this life itself can be enhanced everybody you know this 100 day journey everybody predicting on what day I will die people making calculations by fiftieth day he will be dead no way he will survive here I am now motorcyclists people who consider themselves more cyclists they coming and telling me before Sadhguru this is okay I'm sure you have the grit to ride but your back will go after that you will not be able to active be active in the world I said don't worry this is an advertisement for a yogic back it will survive all that don't worry about me not because I have big muscles or something it's just like that because you can enhance your life internally as a life process if you enhance this life everything will be better within you your experience of life will be enhanced see the reason why you want to acquire something is to somehow enhance your experience isn't it you want to have a larger slice of life that's why you want to drink that is why you want sexuality that's why you want to drug that is why you want wealth that's why you want everything because you want a larger slice of life is that so hello are they in the evening mode those are the back if have you noticed on a given day for some reason you are very exuberant and happy does life feel enhanced hello but now you have fixed conditions if I have to be happy what are all the things that must happen in the world and those things will never happen at any given time and you being happy all the time so people have given up on this and they say only in heaven you can be joyful all the best if you are so sure you must go today hello yes or no if you are so sure everything is better out there should you not go today so you bullying yourself like this all the time essentially on one level there are only two things you are looking for yes you want pleasantness of life I am going to ask you a few questions if you say yes no or silence I will bless you with the same things that you do you want your body to be pleasant if body is pleasant we call this health you want you want health if it becomes very pleasant we call it pleasure if your mind becomes pleasant we call this peace very pleasant we call it joy your emotions become pleasant we call this love very pleasant we call it compassion if your very life energies become pleasant we call this blissfulness if it becomes very pleasant we call it ecstasy if your surroundings become pleasant we call this success only to create pleasantness of your surroundings you need the cooperation of people and forces around you to make this body pleasant mind pleasant emotions pleasant energies pleasant it is 100% your business hello you saying yes whoa see all the husbands and wives it absolves you they are saying for their pleasantness it's they it's happening from within you because all human experience happens from within you can you at least see me right now even if you are not listening hello can you use one hand and point out where I am you got it wrong you know I am a mistake from southern India this light is falling upon me reflecting going through your lenses inverted image in the retina you know the whole story where do you see me right now within yourself where you hear me right now within yourself where have you seen the whole world within yourself have you ever experienced anything other than within yourself have you experienced something out here everything that ever happened to you pain and pleasure happens within you light and darkness happens within you joy and misery happens within you agony and ecstasy happens within you anything that ever happened to you happened within you at least what's happening within you must happen your way isn't it hello the world the world will never happen 100% your way hmm the world will never happen 100% your way some of you are already crying world doesn't happen my way it doesn't and I am glad it doesn't because if it all happened your way where does everybody else go little bit your way little bit my way little bit somebody else's way this is how the world is even if you're just two people in the family even that is not happening 100% your way hello is it if it's happening 51% your way you have the controlling stick 100% if you try nobody will be around you that's the end of it so nothing outside of you ever happens 100% your way but this one person must be 100% your way isn't it so if this person was 100% your way will you keep this person blissful or miserable you must tell me I am going to bless you blissful for this one person you want always the highest level of pleasantness isn't it what you want for your neighbour sometimes is debatable but this person you want him to be in the highest level of pleasantness yes but why such a simple thing is not happening there are many many many ways to look at it the simplest thing is we have not taken charge of this one we have not taken charge of our faculties we are trying to rule the world and out of this many consequences have come it is like this why this has happened is can I tell you a story hello why I am asking your permission is because when I say once upon a time whole lot of people think it's time to dose because that's the only time they heard stories can I tell you a story once upon a time to tell a story and to listen to a story you must be in the right frame of mind if I say once upon a time you say ha ha what happened once upon a time there was a potato farmer everything ha ha there was a potato farmer one day he wanted to eat mangoes he went looking for a mango tree after much search he found a mango tree but out of sheer habit being a potato farmer he started digging for the mangoes after some time when he found no mangoes he dug furiously after some time the tree came down upon him this is the story of humanity in search of human happiness and well-being we are digging the planet upside down not understanding human experience is caused from within human comfort can be created outside comfort and conveniences can be created from outside peacefulness joyfulness blissfulness well-being can only happen from within hello search of human happiness we are digging up everything and we have come to a place where responsible scientists in the world are talking about soil extinction when we use the word extinction you think of dinosaurs or dodos or something like this not soil what soil means is it is the foundation of our existence even in evolutionary terms it is the basis of our existence these trillions of microbial species all worked to manufacture somebody like you for over a billion two billion years time and it produced you and me from micro one cell organisms to multi cell organisms complex organisms to this level of complexity of all the creatures on this planet you or I am taking liberties I am saying you are the most complex sophisticated and competent creature on the planet am I wrong somebody is proud that's nice because what I hear is most of the time people utter the word human they always say they always say oh I am only human nobody says I am human hello is human a possibility or is being human a great limitation it's the greatest possibility of all the creatures on this planet millions and zillions of creatures on this planet in terms of evolution we are on top of it we are the flower of evolution hello but human beings are not walking around like they are on top of the world going like this what's the matter because they have taken their own psychological space as existential in the sense they generate thoughts and emotions and they forget that they are creating it they think it's happening to them from somewhere this is a psychological case hello if you believe yourself to be something other than what you are would you be diagnosed case hello hello see right now this vessel I suddenly pick it up and say this is my vessel then you will think Sadhguru seems to have some problem but you know everybody says he is wise let's listen some more after sometime I say this is me then you will say let's go yes or no because if I claim this is me you know you must go this is a case this is happening to you every day food appears on your plate you say this is my food you eat it and then you say this is me this is a case hello were you born like this as you are now really you were born like this now you become like this how did this happen just the food that you eaten isn't it so what you call as my body is a heap of food nature gives you the freedom to gather whatever kind of heap you want what you call as my mind is a heap of impressions that you have gathered anything that you gather can belong to you can be yours but can never ever be you isn't it hello if you think you sitting on this chair for some time and after some time if you think this chair is me you finished or no hello that's all that's happened to you you gathered this body and then you think this is me you gathered so many impressions and then you think that is me you generate so many thoughts and you think that is me you generate so many emotions you think that is me this is in very basic terms it's called madness but there are very sophisticated psychiatric words you can find your own that you believe yourself to be something but for that what is the word you find out so because of this just to sit here peacefully has become a big problem to an extent to an extent that today people are talking about even the so called spiritual leaders in the world are talking about peace is the ultimate goal of life such people will only rest in peace because I'm asking you if you want to enjoy your dinner tonight even if you're not bursting with joy at least you must be peaceful hello to enjoy the food that you eat if you want to enjoy the company of the person who is sitting next to you even if you're not over pouring with love at least you must be peaceful hello if you want to enjoy a walk on this beautiful island at least you must be peaceful at least you must be peaceful if not anything else so I'm asking you is peace a fundamental requirement or is it the thing that you achieve at the last point of your life should do anything sensibly at least you must be peaceful, isn't it I I was to speak at Tel Aviv so I flew out of Atlanta I am to land there in mid morning and then speak at 6.30 in the evening but due to some flight delays I end up landing there at 6 o'clock in the evening so I'm you know I have this problem in these last 40 years I have not been laid to a single event in my life so no, no, no this also you think is a great achievement this is a problem you're supposed to be somewhere at a certain time but not there at that time what's the problem with you so I quickly change in the airport and I'm rushing to the event and I'm famished super hungry because I'm flying an American airline and there's nothing edible on the plane you go to this place this never happens to me but on that day I am speaking at a fine restaurant miracles do happen sometimes when you're that hungry that's exactly the place you want to go and that's where my talk is then I inquire what is this restaurant about then they say you know some restaurants are known for the quality of the food some restaurants are known for the ambience that they provide some restaurants are known for the conversations that take place in that restaurant it seems the most intelligent conversations in Tel Aviv happen in that restaurant not in the parliament so I enter the place already people are coming in and people start greeting me and one person comes up to me and says shalom I ask him what does it mean he says this is the highest way of greeting I say okay that's your opinion but what does it mean he said no no really this is the highest way of greeting alright but what does the word mean then he says it means peace then I say why would peace be the highest way of greeting unless you're born in Middle East in South India if you come up to me in the morning and say peace I'll say what's wrong with you so anything that you're that you're deprived of slowly moves to heaven if you say now peace people say divine peace if you say love people say God is love if you say bliss people say divine bliss everything that human beings can do has unfortunately been exported to heaven if you are willing you can be peaceful you can be loving you can be joyful you can be blissed out yes or no even you're willing to only seventeen people are willing are you willing are you one big yes to life I'm asking now once you become a psychological case now the problem is it is yes no yes no yes no no yes yes yes no no no no no I'm asking as long as you're alive are you one big yes to life being yes to life does not mean you have to do anything in particular this doesn't mean you have to party everyday do some crazy things no you're already alive it must happen with utmost willingness every breath but right now it's happening unconsciously because it's happening unconsciously even your thought emotion everything is being unconsciously crafted things that you don't want are happening within you things that you do not want anyway happens in the world will also happen in your home many things that you don't want but it should not happen here isn't it hello what I don't want should not happen with me what I don't want may happen around me but it should not happen with me if it's happening with me essentially it means you're a psychological case yes your thought and emotion you have taken it too seriously you don't understand you are just a blimp on this planet both in terms of time and space what you occupy here is a speck isn't it in this seemingly endless cosmos where it begins where it ends nobody knows neither the religious people nor the scientists know where does the cosmos begin where does it end guesswork but nobody knows in such a vast cosmos this solar system is a speck in that speck planet earth is a micro speck in that micro speck Trini is a super micro speck is a super micro speck in that port of Spain is a super super micro speck in that you are a big man this is a very serious problem hello terrible lack of perspective as to who we are what is our place in this universe hello you are a micro micro not even a speck of dust that's what we are many countless number of people have like you and me have come and gone where are they all topsoil this also will be topsoil one day I'll bless you with a long life but anyway it will become topsoil because your friends choose to bury you real deep fearing that you may rise from the dead this happened anybody from Texas Texas, Texas no no before I tell a joke I'm just checking otherwise I can change I can change the state anyway so there was a couple in Texas it was their dream to go to the holy land to Jerusalem but see they got married when they were four then children came one, two, three, four, five then they went to school then they came for graduation they were thinking of going to holy land and holy land but children went through college and children got married and grandchildren came and holy land, holy land got postponed and postponed when they were over 75 years when they realized grandchildren were like them like a nuisance they decided it's time to go to holy land and they went going there they were overwhelmed you know Jerusalem every cobblestone, bleeds with history all kinds of things they walked on the street where Jesus is supposed to have walked they went to the place where he is supposed to walked upon water they were completely overwhelmed fortunately the lady had a heart attack and she died you know this happens then the husband was preparing to get her body back to Texas then the local people arrived then they said no, no, no you are doing the wrong thing because your wife has done the right thing to die in the holy land you wanting to transport her to Texas is a bad decision and the airlines charge you $18,000 just for the body and then local rituals local expenses will be there it's too much we will do everything here for you because you are an American person and that too from Texas and you are distressed because of your wife's death so we will give you a discount $16,000 let's do the rituals come on let's go the man thinks about it and then says I will take her back to Texas they say see doesn't make sense what you are saying but you know you lost a wife of over 40 years obviously you can't think straight so it's alright we will give you a super discount $12,000 let's do it the man thinks about it and says no I will take her back to Texas and they say come on what is this you are saying you just lost it you know you completely lost your mind because you lost your wife alright just for your sake $6,000 let's do it the man says no I will take her back to Texas this is what is the problem they threw up their hands and yelled at him then he said in Texas dead stay dead so right now this is our life this is our time on the planet within us only what we want must happen within us if only what you want happen would you keep yourself this full or miserable must tell me I am going to bless you blissful once only what you want happens within you you will also to whatever extent possible manifest what you want in your family, in your country in your city, in the world around you to the extent possible that will never happen 100% your way but to the extent possible but that is only possible if that is even you can even attempt it only if you are not an issue isn't it in your life there shall be many issues the more active you are there are more issues more problems but I should not be a problem in my own life hello that much sense we should have yes or no there are many other problems the more activity you take up in the world the more problems you will have in your life it's okay but if I myself become a problem in my life this is a case hello now you are becoming very serious on a certain day a lady went to sleep what did she do on a certain day a lady went to sleep what did she do she went to sleep in her sleep she had a dream in her dream she saw a hunk of a man standing there and staring at her then he started coming closer and closer and closer so close she could even feel his breath and she trembled not in fear and then she asked what will you do to me the man said well lady it's your dream what's happening in your head is your dream at least your bloody dream must happen the way you want it hello life situations may not happen the way we want it at least your dream must happen the way you want it hello if this one thing happens your way you shall be joyful and you will do your best with every situation that you have some things will work some things will not work that's how it is but as long as you are joyful it's okay because this is all you have pleasantness of life if possible why? when it comes to activity impactfulness of activity this is all you got rest is all made up in your head hello rest is all made up in your head right now you may be thinking I'm a rich man why because you got something stored up in the bank or somewhere but that's only in your thought suppose you forget a ninety three year old man was sitting in the park and weeping heart breaking tears coming out somebody who was passing by and said sir what happened he said just two weeks ago I won a lottery and I married a twenty two year old very beautiful woman she is fantastic to me in every way she is great to me and I bought a new twenty five million dollar home everything is great in my life then they asked why are you crying then he said I don't know where it is I'm saying whatever wealth you have whatever nonsense you have is only in your memory that doesn't that can enhance situations around us that cannot enhance the life that you are life is enhanced only what is the level of pleasantness and profoundness that you hold within you this is what makes you life what your arrangements you make are fine they make your life convenient in terms of convenience and comfort as a generation of people you have more comfort and convenience than any human generation ever in the history of humanity even what royalty did not have ordinary citizens have today no emperor on the planet could drive a chariot more than six horses you are all driving chariots with two hundred four hundred horses hello yes or no so in terms of comfort and convenience never has it been so good but still people are cribbing going on because they do not understand the significance of holding the difference between what is my interiority and what is external internal must be just the way I want it has to be that way external little bit your way little bit my way little bit somebody else's way you know I went for a golf game with your legend and the guy even won what can I do I come all the way here and get beaten in the golf course what can I do that's how it is but I enjoy the golf course that he cannot stop me that nobody can stop me hello so this is all you got pleasantness of experience profoundness of experience impactfulness of what you do our impact in the world is not determined by us it is determined by the times in which we exist today we are doing what we are doing because of 21st century we are here if you were here a thousand years ago would we be doing the same thing hello not at all so what we are doing is subject to the times in which we exist we can't take full credit for those things we do something but it is the times but how pleasant and how profound this life is is absolutely your making that one thing you must take care of so that this is not an impediment in your life there are so many others if you want to do many things in the world you will understand how many types of impediments on a daily basis how many people want to do things without knowing what they are doing but they will oppose this they will oppose that even if you say save soil you won't go to heaven somebody says save even if you die to bury you also we need good soil isn't it if you don't want to live well hello even to bury us if this body has to rot and become part of the soil soil should be alive it's important so I am saying life is just this pleasantness profoundness mindfulness of life even those of you who are thinking you want to go to heaven you want to go there only because the advertisements have always said it's a very pleasant place right from your childhood if they have told you God lives there but it's a horrendous place you will say no no we will pray from here only we don't want to go there because essentially the life that you are you are looking for pleasantness experience both within and around you isn't it around you you cannot determine absolutely within you 100% you can determine and as you earlier agreed with me you agree with me that this is the most sophisticated and complex gadget on the planet human mechanism have you read the user's manual hello huh see if you buy a phone because everybody is showing it to me their phone new model so I am okay if you buy a phone should you read the user's manual within the first three days or after three years when you are discarding the phone when should you read it within the first three days if you want to use it well the same goes for this at the earliest possible time everything that you need to know about this you must know hello then you can use this in the best possible way otherwise just this very body and this mind human mind how much suffering it's manufacturing where is the industry for all the human suffering it's in your mind isn't it hello enormous amount of suffering you can call it stress you can call it anxiety you can call it joy misery whatever you want to call it but essentially you have turned your own intelligence against you that's all that's happened to you if I can sit here and suffer by myself obviously my intelligence has turned against me yes or no if you are with me and you feel miserable you can say Sadhguru it's because of you we are miserable but you are alone and you are miserable obviously you are in bad company hello you are by yourself and you are feeling miserable what does this mean you are in bad company if you don't fix this one company doesn't matter what else you have in your life it's not going to work as a life in the society somebody may something great things about you or ugly things about you it doesn't matter for this life it will not work this body this mind has to work for you if your physiology and your psychology turns against you nobody can take you anywhere so it is important that we address these things there is a whole science you can call this yoga we call this inner engineering to engineer yourself in such a way that this works the way I want if it works the way I want we are very sure you will keep it healthy you will keep it happy you will keep it wonderful yes or no right now the problem is it's not taking instructions from you it is doing its own thing once it starts doing its own thing then it is like a car for which there is no steering wheel it goes wherever you are an unguided missile no great disaster has to come and strike you, you will go and strike something hello so this word meditation is floating all over the world what does the word meditation mean the English word meditation actually doesn't mean anything specific it's a simply throwing the word around if you sit here with your eyes closed people will say you are meditating see with eyes closed there are many things you can do you can sit here and do japa, tapha, dharana, dhyana samadhi, shonya, samyama any number of things you can do with your eyes closed so the word meditation is not descriptive, not specific about anything it's saying a general thing so taking it that way let's put it this way if you are here if you sit here your experience of life becomes like this your body is here your mind is here who you are is little away from that a little space between you and the body a little space between you and your mind if this happens we can say you are in dhyana or dhyana or dhyanam or meditation or whatever you want to call it why this is important is to know what is me and what is not me the moment I think this furniture is me there is trouble isn't it hello this furniture also this is also one kind of furniture one day yes or no a sacred soil all right right now it's yours but many people have carried this before you today we are carrying it it's ours we will keep it well we will enjoy it it's fine but it cannot be you it's yours so we will do a simple process to bring about a small distinction between what is you and what is not you what is you and what is yours shall we can you all close your eyes and sit for at least eight ten minutes is that a possibility or will you look at me through your third eye I'm in the iPhone or whatever phone you have hmm is it possible those of you who are standing there must sit down those of you moving around must become still hello those at the back you must either sit down or stop moving do something please some volunteers out there can they translate what I'm saying into English those at the very end please either sit down or at least stand still and close your eyes there are no chairs for you hands open like this loose and relaxed your spine using the chair's backrest keep it reasonably erect there is no need to sit around straight nor do you slouch just sit in a comfortably straight position those of you wearing spectacles you can just take it and keep it in your lap or in your pockets or whatever is comfortable for you we will do a certain process please don't close your eyes yet one second what we will do is with inhalation we will take one word or one utterance with you with exhalation we will do this you don't have to say it I will be saying it you just add it to your breath inhalation we will say I'm not the body exhalation I'm not even the mind I will say it you don't have to say it but include that and make your inhalation as long as the sentence is and make your exhalation as long as the sentence is and in a very relaxed way inhalation exhalation inhalation exhalation along with this you do it when we stop this even in between if I give a break you continue to do the same thing when I ask you to stop or when I ask you to utter a sound you will utter the sound ah you simply say like this with your eyes closed you will do sound ah like this when you do this the maximum amount of vibrations will be in your navel or around this region just notice that reverberation and just do the sound ah approximately seven to twelve times we will do just do that and after that you just sit there till I ask you to open your eyes is it clear sit with your face slightly upturned like this and hold your face slightly upturned you will notice naturally your attention or your mild focus moves between your eyebrows just do that and see a slightly upturned face you will notice there is a mild focus between your eyebrows hold that focus don't concentrate please eyes closed do not concentrate ah just a mild focus between your eyebrows when I say I am not the body you inhale when I say I am not even the mind you exhale I am not the body inhalation I am not even the mind exhalation I am not the body inhalation I am not even the mind exhalation I am not the body inhalation I am not even the mind exhalation I am not the body I am not even the mind the mind. I am not the body. I am not even the mind. I am not the body. I am not even the mind. I am not the body. I am not even the mind. I am not the body. I am not even the mind. I am not the body.

I am not the body. I am not even the mind. I am not the body. I am not the body. I am not even the mind. Continue to breathe. Continue to breathe like this. It doesn't matter what nationality we belong to, what nations we come from, what religion, what caste creed or what kind of ideologies or politics we belong to, we all come from the same soil. We are living and eating of the same soil. When we die for sure, we go back to the same soil. So just knowing that if you cannot understand what is this source of creation, at least we understand. We come from the soil, we live off the soil, we go back to the soil. That is simple enough for everybody to understand. As I mean, doing this around the world to bring this awareness and make policy changes because you doing something wonderful in your piece of land and me doing something wonderful in my piece of land is not the solution. We need a global policy to ensure life on this planet exists. When I say life on this planet exists, the ecological base of this planet is in the soil, these trillions of organisms. For example, today we have become possible this kind of life on this planet has become possible because today the oxygen content in the atmosphere is around twenty-one percent. But some time ago, before this great phenomena where life on this planet learned how to cook their food from the perpetual energy of the sun that today we refer to as photosynthesis. Before this phenomena of photosynthesis started, there was just a little over one percent oxygen content you and me could not have happened. So I'm saying from the smallest life turning green then to the leaf, then to small plants and then to big trees, green leaf is in many ways the source of your life. That's all the biggest damage that's happened on this planet. Today everybody is busy in the name of environment. People are trying to catch carbon dioxide molecules in the air. I'm not saying that's not important. That is also a significant problem. But we are oxygen breathing life. Hello? I'm just checking hello? We are oxygen breathing life and in the last thousand years we have removed eighty-five percent of the photosynthesis on this planet. Eighty-five percent. What is our plan really? In the last seven years, sixty-seven percent of vertebral vertebrate life is gone. Sixty-seven percent. Eighty-two percent of the biomass insects are gone. Ninety-two percent of freshwater aquatic life is gone. What's our plan for our children and the future? This needs to change. This will not change by you and me fighting with each other. I'm saying this because environmentalism means go on the street and fight with somebody. No, all of us knowingly or unknowingly all of us are partners in this destruction. The only way around is all of us become partners in the solution. There is simply no other way. And it's great that the Caribbean nations are responding in a very positive manner. Though they're small in terms of geography, I'm glad they're large in terms of their vision. Thank you very much. I'm supposed to open up for questions. There was supposed to be a question and a session. I'm willing to take one or two questions if somebody has a question without getting your question answered. You cannot sleep tonight. If you have such a problem, please ask the question. Please. Is there a microphone? If you raise your hand, the microphone will come to you. Quick. Namaskaram. Welcome to our soil. Thank you for visiting us. I have a burning question. Where are you? Raise your hand. Where are you? Okay, okay. I'm here. Yes, yes. Growing up in Trinidad. Oh, you really grown a big voice though. Always thought I knew what sanatan dharma means. I'm confused after listening to you on YouTube. Can you shed some light on this, please? Sanatan? Dharma means eternal. See the word, the word sanatan means eternal. So we're talking about dharma means a lot. We're talking about those aspects of life that can be considered eternal. Is your body eternal? Hello? No. Is your… this one eternal? No. Family eternal? No. Nation eternal? No. So what is this eternal? So something that's beyond physicality is eternal. So a society which invested itself in that aspect of life called itself a sanatan, because their involvement is not just with the physical, they want to know what is beyond the physical. Not willing to just believe something. When I say believe something, see in the world there are atheists and theists. An atheist means he believes there is no God. A theist means he believes there is God. Both of them believe something, but they think they're very different. Both of them believe something that they don't really know about. Yes. When you don't have the courage, not the commitment to know what is the truth about my existence, you can jump into some belief. What is it that you believe? Depends where you are born. If you're born in one kind of society, you believe one thing. If you're born in another kind of society, you believe another thing. If we work hard enough on you right from your childhood, we can make you believe just about anything. Yes or no? We just have to work hard on you. We can make you believe just about anything. So what you believe is of social consequence is also of some psychological significance, but existentially it means nothing. So if you are on sanatan, you are a sanatani means you're in pursuit of the existential. You're not interested in just the physiological or the psychological or the social aspects of life. You're interested in the existential, that which is beyond this. If something is eternal, it also has to be absolutely inclusive. There is no way. There is this and that is not eternal. This and that will come and go. You and me will come and go, but that which is eternal neither comes nor goes. That means naturally it is also all inclusive. So one thing that everybody who identifies or at least believes that they are in the sanatan dharma must understand, the only way you can call yourself anything sanatan is you must be all inclusive. There is simply no other way. You and me is not sanatan. It's not eternal. There is something which is eternal, which is the source of creation. The whole effort is to bring that into your experience, not just to believe, not just to read about it, not just to worship it, but to know it experientially. So when this longing becomes your way, then somebody formulates, okay, this is the way to approach it. That step by step process becomes dharma or the law or the method with which you get there. So how do you get to the beyond? How do you get to that which is beyond perishable aspects of body and mind? Well, just now what you did little bit is not, this is just a very small thing, a better version of this called Isha Kriya is there on the app. You can download the app on your phone and do it. It doesn't cost you anything. Every day, twelve, fifteen minutes of meditation will make a big difference. If you sit here, if you clearly experience, not think, not thinking it up, clearly experience that there is a space between you and your body, between you and your mind, you are sanathana. You are eternal because what is perishable with you is your body, your physiological and psychological and social processes are perishable. But that which is the basis of this life is beyond that. There is an intelligence beyond the body. Your body was created from within you or did you plaster it from outside? Hello? From internally. So there is an intelligence within you which can create something so complex from what? From bananas that you ate. Hello? Just about anything that you eat becomes human body within a few hours, isn't it? There is an intelligence within you which is the very source of creation. If the source of creation is within you and if you are not in touch with it, I think it's a crime. If it's somewhere up in the heaven and you don't want to go there, that's up to you. I don't want to go there too. But if it's within you and you don't know it, this is a crime. So this is what sanathan means that you are always striving to be in touch with that which is eternal because you clearly understand your body, physical body and your psychological structures and the social structures that we create which all become so real at one point that we start forgetting that we are even mortal. Hello? We are just forgetting that we are mortal. So you must do one thing as a first step towards being a sanatani. The first thing you have to do is tomorrow morning if you wake up. I'm not joking. Every, every day approximately hundred and fifty to hundred and seventy-five thousand people don't wake up tomorrow morning. Natural death happens on the planet. We always think it happens to somebody else. No, no, it will happen to you and me. Hello? I will bless you with a long life. But it's possible that you and me could die today. Hello? We are not wishing it. But possible? Hello? Possible. We don't want it. That's a different thing. But it's possible. So if you happen to wake up tomorrow morning, one thing you must do is you check. You're still here? Alive? If you're alive, just give yourself one big smile. Hello? If you're alive, if you if you're not alive tomorrow morning, I'll excuse you. It's okay. You can carry a stiff face. If you're alive, one big smile. Why Sadhguru? What happened? Hey, you're alive. That's the biggest thing in your life. Tell me what is the greatest thing that's happening to you? You're alive right now, isn't it? Everything else is secondary. Yes or no? Everything else is secondary. The most important thing that's happening to you right now is life itself. So if you are alive tomorrow morning, will you give yourself one big smile? Hello? To yourself. And whenever you look at the watch, whenever you look at the clock or watch, oh, ten, twenty, and I'm still alive. Hello? One big smile. Because what is sticking away here is not the clock. What is sticking away is your life. Hello? What is sticking away is your life. From now on, you must do this in the Caribbean island, you must make sure everybody does this. Whenever they check the time, still alive. Isn't it fantastic, still alive? This is the most fantastic thing that's happening to you. Next time I come, I want to see more smiles. I saw, I thought island people means because I'm the only, the only Trini I saw is myself. I thought everybody is, everybody is going like this. Next time I come, I want to see some big smiles. Hello? It doesn't matter what the hell is happening in your life. It doesn't matter what the hell is happening with your life. If you're alive, let's do that. I'm okay, but this, okay, this girl, please, she needs a microphone. Here, here, she needs a microphone. We'll close with this question because I think people, I don't want to call you up. I think I can say on behalf of everyone here, we've all been very impressed by you and not just by your golf skills. We've listened to you speak tonight on the power of speaking up on this cause, creating awareness, holding people in power accountable. But all of these actions are very interdependent, meaning they depend, the success of them depends on someone else. We've also spoken tonight a lot about autonomy. So I'm wondering, I'm not a farmer, I'm not a scientist, and I'm not a politician. I'm wondering what can I do on an individual level to save soil, what we can all do? Say that thing you're looking at, what is that? I have to write notes because I was nervous. I'm asking, what is that? Phone. Phone. So it is no mobile phone, it's a powerhouse. Today, what's your name little? My name is Mickey. Mickey. Mickey. Mickey. Mickey, like the mouse. Okay. Mickey, today, for the first time in the history of humanity, you have this power with this little thing that you're holding in your hand. You alone, if you make up your mind, in the next six months to one year, just you can reach the whole world. Is it possible or not? The question is only, is there that much commitment or not? Do you have that much love in your heart to put it into something? Or you're just like that one or two days and then gone. There's no commitment about anything. So right now what we are talking about is this is not just one more problem. There are many ways to describe this. One simple thing is this, according to an FAO, right now, 27,000 species of microorganisms, species of microorganisms are going extinct per year. 27,000 species, you heard it right. So this is a slide. This slide is continuing, unabated. If it continues like this, it is estimated somewhere in the next 25 to 40 years, this slide can get into a tumble. Once it becomes a tumble, there is nothing you can do or nothing I can do. The important thing is to arrest this slide and push it back. It's very much possible, it's not an impossible task, nor does it need some great rocket science to do it, nor do you need enormous financial outlets to do it. It just takes the right direction and the relentless commitment to get there. If we get the governments of every nation to make policies to revive their soil, in a matter of anywhere between four to eight years, this problem can be completely mitigated. It is not within, it is not beyond our reach. This is a great challenge right now because if it goes like this, it will become an absolute disaster. So as a generation, we have this, we have a huge challenge in front of us. At the same time, we are privileged because we are the last generation which has this opportunity to turn this around. If we don't turn this around, scientists, some of them are making bizarre predictions. They're saying, by 2060, if we don't do anything and it goes like that, it is possible that 20% of the human population will die in terrible ways of starvation and lack of water. By 2032, we are expecting 3.5 billion people will be water stressed. 1.3 billion people will be migrating and when migrations happen in unplanned ways, forced migrations because of lack of food and water, the worst thing will always happen to the women and children, always. They take the worst. So these things are not far away, it is within our life in the matter of 10 to 15 years time. Right now, our attitude has been, but I have a rich piece of land, so why do I care? But you need to understand microbial life is a global phenomena. If it starts collapsing, it starts collapsing everywhere. It doesn't matter who did it. It starts collapsing means it starts collapsing everywhere. It can't be preserved here and there. No. It is important that the microbial life is on in a big way in the soil. Right now, just to give you a perspective, in the next four years, it's expected over 107 species of birds will go extinct simply because they don't have enough worms and insects to eat because you're using vermicide, insecticide, pesticide, every side, this is suicide. Yes. So what can I do? That's a great question. The simple thing right now is to keep the message up because we are working with the governments. The government should feel comfortable that the people are with them because for any democratic nation, we have given a term of four to five years. What's your term here? Five. So in some countries, it's four years. In some countries, it's five years. You give somebody a five-year mandate and what will they naturally do? They will try to produce results within those five years because again, the election is coming and they have to answer, they're answerable to the people. So how do you expect them to take policy decisions which may take eight or 10 or 12 years to bear fruit? They can take these decisions and they can invest in this direction only if at least 60% of the adult population clearly expresses they want long-term well-being of this nation. They are concerned about the future of their children. This expression must come. Tell me one nation on this planet where 60% of the adult population has expressed this. Have they? No, they will talk in tea parties here and there. They will ask for a gas price reduction. They will ask for income tax one percent reduction. They will get those kind of things. Has anywhere in any nation, 60% of the population stood up and clearly said, we are concerned about the future of this nation and our children. Have they said this? We are living like we are the last generation. So do not think enhancing the message is a small thing. It is a very, very important thing. If governments have to make policies, you need people. First of all, as a young person, I want to tell you and remind you not that you do not know, but I want to remind you, there is no government. In a democratic society, you are the government. There is no separate government. Somebody has volunteered to do the dirty work for you. That's all it is. Well, we may go about giving, you know, endlessly people can talk about, oh, governments are corrupt, politicians are like this, like that. But I'm telling you, I'm not trying to protect them or not protect them. I'm saying in a democratic society, in any given society, I'm not just talking about your country, because this is the past time in every nation for people to talk. All politicians are corrupt, they're rogues, they're this, they're that. If you hand over, no, no, if you hand over your country to people who you think are rogues, what are you? What are you? So the future of this nation, the future of your children, you hand it over to people who you think are rogues and you sit back and go on talking somewhere in a useless place. What is the point? Bring it, bring it to the awareness. This is not a protest. This is not an agitation. This is not about expressing your anger or resentment. This is an expression of our love and responsibility for the life that we are and the life that's around us and the life that must be beyond us. So please express that every day. I am telling you every one of you, every one of you have a phone, isn't it? Hello? Yeah. You can send some silly messages on it, it's okay. It's called a smartphone, but it does a lot of silly things. That's up to you. I'll leave that to you. Every day fifteen minutes a day, can you just say something about your concern for soil, environment, works around you, about the life on this planet? Because it's under threat, it's no more a joke. It's not a tomorrow's problem, it's a today's problem, it's an existential problem. It is not about global warming, about this, that. Fundamentally all these things that you're talking about is just our way of doing things unfortunately has become like this. If you are dying, we will come and see and say, oh, he's got fever. Then we will say, what is the fever? Oh, his liver is rotting. Then we say what? How to stop the liver rot? We will go about it. If you can't stop it, then we say he's dead. All right? We are always looking at the symptoms. Even here, you are global warming, your climate change is a symptom. It's not the cause. It is not the source of the problem. It is a symptom. You are watching the symptom. Yes, that is important. I'm not saying it's not important, but the source is this. If you do not understand what I'm saying, tomorrow morning you go out when the sun is up, go touch the soil where it is plowed and left open for a month. What is the temperature? You don't need any meter, just with your hand. Just go and touch the same soil in grassy areas. What is the temperature? Go and touch the soil under a bush. Go and touch the soil under a big tree. What is the temperature? The range will be between eight to twelve degrees centigrade. This is global warming. What else is it? It's right here. You don't need any science. It is happening. If you're alive to it, it is always visible to you. People keep asking me, Sathguru, how do you know all this? Are you a scientist? No, I'm a worm on this planet. I've been crawling on this planet for six and a half decades. How come I don't know what's happening around me? Because everybody is living in their own world. I live in this world. You must also live in this world because what you think is your world is just an imaginary nonsense. This is the only world you and me can live. Hello? This is the only world we can live here. It seems there are some three hundred planets just like Earth. Some of them ten times bigger than Earth. Some three million light years away, if you want to make the journey all the best. Thank you. Thank you very much for being here. Wonderful. La, la, le, le, le, le, le This very body is soil. My body, your body, everybody is just Unquenched soil body into life, heated soils 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.
