I like it but that's okay. Though it's been on my mind for some time about the rally, I debated various forms of doing it within myself. I believed I spoke for the first time, this is a satsang, if you can keep off your phones or please, you have to show your family where you have been otherwise. They need photographic evidence that you are actually in the satsang, not somewhere else. I believed that I spoke for the first time only three months ago, that is two months before the rally to our teams in the ashram. But it seems more than a year ago, I spoke in a program in California. I didn't remember that, I didn't think that information would slowly filter down here. I didn't even remember I said this but it seems I said and they came here and inquired with people here, Sadhguru said there's going to be a rally, when is that going to happen? Nobody here knew what rally. So it's only two months ago, two months before the rally that I spoke to our teams and because our teams function best only when you set an impossible deadline and a killing schedule. An impossible deadline and a killing schedule is the medicine for our teams, they just go all out and largely we've kept them like that for the last twenty-five, thirty years, twenty-five years at least. From event to event, from situation to situation it's always been like that and things started happening on the ground within the ashram, so much confusion about rally from where to where, how will we go, what will happen, this will happen, how many people, this, this, this. It was very clear in my mind what should happen and what will happen but as usual I spoke different things to different people because, because when you have to create something which has never been done before and which is of a certain scale and involves various aspects, it's important that everybody's box breaks, their head should break because for most people they use their head like a cannon ball, it has to be fired by something otherwise it won't go anywhere by itself. If it could grow like a tree and blossom it would be great but it's not like that. You got to fire it and then it fires. So it got really fired and all the Isha teams, I don't know if it's yet sank into all of them what they have achieved. It's a most incredible thing that's happened in recent times in this country. The sheer scale and the nature of it is such that I know if I gave too much time, suppose I spoke about it six months ago, one year ago, there would be too much debate and too much confusion. So it was time, some little less than sixty days I think and everybody fired. All our teams on the ground in the ashram, our media teams, social media teams, just about everybody got into the act, the rally got propelled, the sheer effort and energy behind it. Above all, the power of consciousness, this is what it means. I was telling somebody some time ago at Isha, we're just a bunch of idiots doing incredible things. This is the power of consciousness. None of them have a PhD in anything nor do they have an MBA, most of them. Most of them, because they dropped out of school and they didn't know where to go, they landed up with me. Yes, very few of them are reasonably educated. Rest are all just like me. So it doesn't take any great intellect, it doesn't take that you have to go to Harvard or Stanford to do something or create something wonderful. It just takes absolute devotion towards what you wish to do. If that one thing is there, once our energies get focused in a certain direction, everything works for us. In the yogic lore, the yogis very mischievously say like this, that if your chitta is touched, the moment you touch chitta which is beyond memory, which is beyond understanding, which is beyond boundaries, which is beyond education or knowledge, if you touch that dimension, then God will become your slave. This is a demonstration of that. The entire nation got carried with this. Never before in the history of independent India, for thirty days anything has been reported as Rally for Rivers has been reported across the country. This is not to brag about ourselves, this is to acknowledge all the media houses across the country, that essentially this proves that, as I said it was on everybody's mind somewhere, but they were dodging it within themselves because who is to bell the cat. As I said, you need, it takes a fool to go and bell the cat, not knowing whether it's a tiger or a house cat, because you never know. If you touch a house cat, it could suddenly evolve into a tiger. It happens with many situations. Has it not happened to you sometimes? You thought something was a house cat and did meow and that thing roared and tried to bite your head off. Many people warned me, there are some very cautious people also in ashram, some sane, very highly educated, not the insane people who will simply jump and do whatever I ask them to do. There are some sane good people. They said, this is foolish, you're risking your entire repetition. Not that I'm not conscious of that. I said, this one thing, this responsibility, I'm much fulfilled in my life. I'm willing to risk my reputation in my life because this is that vital to ensure that our rivers are flowing for the future generations is that vital an act that we have to perform. Well, is everything going to become fixed because thirty days we were on the road? I'm not that stupid to believe everything will be fixed tomorrow morning, all rivers will flow. No, but definitely nation cannot ignore this. Things will start getting galvanized. How quickly or how slowly is the only question? If all of us keep our foot on the gas continuously, like I did for thirty days, maybe some of you were with us, some days we drove up to eighteen hours a day. These journeys in normal conditions, if I was driving alone I would have done this in five, six hours. Yes, my car could touch two and forty kilometers per hour. But I had to keep behind chumble. Chumble was my security jeep and I had to stay behind that. And we had to stop at every place, wherever we saw blue board. One person, two people, ten people, hundred people, thousand people, whatever the number, wherever we saw blue board we stopped. So, so many times we stopped. A six, seven hour journey stretched into anywhere between twelve to sixteen hours very easily a few days, I think one day eighteen hour drive. We left Parnature at seven in the morning, reached Mysore at twelve, thirteen in the night. What is that? And thanks to, except a few places maybe even twenty-five percent or twenty percent of the roads, largely seventy to eighty percent of the roads, we have to acknowledge that this development has happened in the last maybe eight years time because the last time I drove a long distance in the country was about eight years ago. How the roads were and how they are today, many parts of the country it's as good as anywhere in the world. Of course, of course the drivers, a lot needs to be done about them because some of them were American because they were coming on the wrong side. They were just driving on the right side of the road when I was driving on the left side of the road and it was you know some close shapes here and there. So, it's been quite a ride, it's been nice to be seeing India on the road because last few years I've been just buzzing around, not seeing anything except the dreary airports, not dreary. Our airports are the best in the world, if you don't know this. If you go to Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, airports, we are the best in the world, nowhere else on the planet do they have airports like this. So, except for the airports I don't see anything else, it's become like conference hall and airport, classroom, airport. This is what I've been seeing, but it was nice to be back on the road meeting the people, sitting in a tea shop. Long time I have not done these things. When post Dhyanalinga when I was completely incapacitated and I couldn't speak for a few days, my tongue was slack and I could not speak and I could barely sit up in the bed. So, at that time when they saw I was not recovering, so somebody who knows my passions said, I think it's time we go on a road trip, Satguru. It seems for the first time in three days I opened my eyes because everything that I ever learnt, I learnt on the street, not in a school room or a classroom, always on the street. Street has a very negative connotation. If you say street, today people think alcohol, drugs, prostitution. If you say somebody is walking the street, it does not mean they're enjoying the breeze and walking on the street, it means something bad, negative. This is what we wish to change in the world. We want to change the definition of what is street. Street made me like this. This is what should happen. Street should represent well-being because maximum number of people are on the street, isn't it? Street should represent well-being. Street should represent joy. Street should represent humanity but unfortunately street means drug, alcohol, prostitution. This is what it means right now, everywhere in the world. So, if we have to change this, we need a large-scale movement. Rivers offered that opportunity twice, drying rivers unfortunately and this will not just remain an ecological effort. This will definitely translate itself into a spiritual process for many people who have come in touch with us. You should have seen yesterday the BSF Jawans who travelled with us all in tears. They're all coming and hugging me and in tears, soldiers. Okay? They're still carrying weapons and they're in tears. It's like closing like an engineering program or a Baba's Pandana. When they came, they didn't know who we were, they came like that. Look, now they're all like that in thirty days' time. I barely spoke to them except a couple of them who travelled with me but the street transformed them. This is what the street should do to every human being. It should transform individual human beings. So, the process is essentially spiritual. Right now, the goal is ecological because you know, you know Gautama, the Buddha, what enlightened under a tree, I'm planning large-scale enlightenment process. We need trees. Where to make all of you sit down when that day comes? You will sit in a pub or a coffee shop? No, no, I want you to have a nice tree when that day comes. A good tree to sit under. At least a twenty-year-old tree. If not a hundred-year-old tree, at least a twenty-year-old tree, where it looks decent? When somebody takes, when you take a selfie, when you're enlightened, you must be at least sitting on a decent tree, isn't it? So, it's time for everything you need infrastructure. So, the rally, see I'm still in the clothes, is still on. Till when will it be on? We will continue the missed call efforts till thirty-first of October. We have crossed twelve crore missed calls. That's only forty percent of what I said. I said thirty crore. We have crossed twelve crore which is a phenomenal number by itself because you know initially I said ten crore, then I said twenty, then I said thirty. These days I'm saying sixty crore. Because number system was invented by Indians, we have the freedom to use it whichever way. Especially the zero is omic. When we are able to multiply our population four times in seventy years, why can't we multiply the missed calls? All these twelve crore people, one month is over, this month you can call once again or the new people can call it's better. It's important because the question is not a particular number. The question is India must participate. That's what is important. Irrespective of what they're doing in their lives, every citizen must participate. Only then there is strength. Today we have presented the policy. Do we have a book here? Do we have the... not that. Does it look like a book for you? You not been to school, just like me. Do we have the document here? No. I just brought that and showed it to you. It's an impressive book, this thick and... you saw the book on the Twitter? You saw the picture? Okay. So it's a very well designed and wonderful documentation with many case studies how rivers have been revived across the world in various kinds of soils, various kind of climates and how it can be done in India. Leaving how... what methods will be employed administrative and other implementation process to the government, just the science of it and the economics of it has been presented in the book that runs to seven hundred pages I think, little less than seven hundred pages. Now the important thing is that this unprecedented, without parallel, I'm telling you, this rally is without parallel, not just in India, nowhere else on the planet ever, an ecological moment has become so large. Always ecology means fringe groups fighting for something. That's how it is. Because we started off this with the right note saying this is not an agitation, this is not a protest, this is not against anybody, the entire nation responded, the media responded wonderfully. All the national icons of film and sport responded. I think they made a big difference in the whole process. We wish to congratulate and express our gratitude to all of them. I have all... all of you, the volunteers, across the country, you're quite... you're quite crazy. That's a good qualification because if you don't have a mad heart, you will die of constipation. Not constipation of the digestive tract, constipation of life. Very little happens. That's constipation. Yes? Much more was possible but very little happened in your life. That is a constipated life, isn't it? So if you don't have a mad heart, you will die of a constipated life. So it's important. It is not... life is not about what you have and what you don't have. It is not about what you managed to gather or what you did not manage to gather. It is not about what you wore or where you lived and what you drove. It is about the profoundness of your experience. The only wealth in your life is how profound is your life. But if you sacrifice that for the heaps of things that you gather, well, many homes have become like warehouses. They're continuously adding up and they don't know when to give it away. It's just going on accumulating. Where are you going to take this warehouse and go? But if your experience of life became profound, that's the only real wealth that you can carry. Because the only goddamn thing that you have in your life is life itself. There's nothing else. Others are all just... you imagine in your thoughts and emotion. Your wealth is just an imagination. Where is it? Is it sitting on your head I'm asking right now? Your love affair is just an imagination. You don't like it but it's alright. Everything that comes up in your thought and your emotion is just your imagination, the profoundness of experience will work on a completely different level of life. It leaves you in a different way. A matured life you become. I'm sure in this one month many volunteers across the country, their experience is far more profound than it ever was in their life. That is more important for me than how many people came, what happened, thousands of people, their experience of life has become far more profound than what it was and that's all that matters. And that profoundness happened knowingly or unknowingly for some time they forgot what about me. That's all. In... in wanting to create something, most people destroy themselves. You see, people who think they are doing something important look absolutely constipated. Yes sir. So, amari nadhyasukra hiya. It's not a laughing matter. If you do not know how to address the most serious aspects of life lightly, life shall sit very heavy upon your heart. It will sit so heavy. When you're alive you feel like you're already buried. Yes, you can do this to yourself. You've done this to yourself many times, isn't it? Hello? You again maybe came out. Have you ever seen some of these creatures who dig their way out of the hole and just come out? They've been holding their bath for a long time and they come like this. I see lot of people like that. This is why they go sit in a pub or a bar or restaurant. Rest of the time they're burying themselves somewhere in one place they will relax a bit. Yes, this is their party, this is their bar, this is their pub, this is their picnic, this is their love affair where one place they breathe a little bit. I want you to know the joy. I want you to know the joy of breathing every moment freely. If you want to know the joy, this is all you have to do. You must drop this one thought, what about me? I'll tell you what about you. We'll bury you one day. That's all it's about you. The question is, before you're buried how profound is your life? The question is not how deeply will you be buried. Question is about how profound is your experience of life. What about me? Well, shall I describe the last scene? If you're lucky in Delhi we may set up Isha Kalyanthasthanam. Everybody is a customer. You know about this? You know about this? Okay. Now they all know about it. You find out from them. It's an ad. It's an Isha ad you have to find out which we have not published. So whether we burn you or bury you, that's about it. Just that, before that, how profound is your life? That's all it is. Profoundness will not happen because of the activity that we do. Profoundness happens because what we are creating becomes bigger than ourselves. This can happen with every single act. It is not like only when we do one big rally across the country, this happens. This can happen with every single act that what you're doing is bigger than who you are. What you're doing is far more important than your own existence and your own survival. If you approach everything like this, then life will become super profound. If it is that profound, human beings will function like super human beings, not because you became super human, because your constipation got relieved. You yourself can't believe when the constipation is gone, choosing particularly a nasty example. Because I see people walk by, if there is a beautiful flower with wonderful fragrance, they are capable of ignoring and walking away. Little bit of shit on their face. Oh, suddenly they're conscious. So that's the only thing people are getting. So I learned this trick on the street. You got to throw some shit at them. Then they become conscious. Beautiful flowers they can ignore. Anything that's happening they can ignore. Wonderful things happening. Moon is up in the sky. They can ignore. Most people have not seen a god damn moon. But you throw little shit on their face. They are suddenly sitting up. So I'm telling you, if you are constipated and then suddenly you got a loose motion, you can't believe you had so much. This is just like that. If you have constipated your life constantly with what about me, what about me, what about me, you take that off and see. Suddenly you can't believe you're so big. It will happen. So what is the next step? The next step is just this, that are there some people who consider themselves young before you raise your hand, just kind of make an estimate what I may be driving towards. Suddenly you may become old. This happened. This happened like this. You know in the night, in India it's still allowed. In most of the countries unfortunately they've been all killed. In India after you all go to bed, you go out somewhere, see in a marketplace or somewhere there are restaurants or somewhere, outside where there will be some amount of food available, you will see twenty-five, thirty dogs having their own parliament. Have you seen this? They are suddenly so relaxed and among themselves so that all the idiotic human beings are gone and there they are at play and have you seen them? Very happily doing. Like this, then among them there was a leader dog. If you want you can call him a guru dog. Hey what's wrong? If you can human beings can have a human being as a guru, why can't the dogs have a guru dog? So he went on advising them that you know the only reason we have been enslaved by human beings, they have belted us, collared us, chained us and they treat us so badly, when we are carnivorous they feed us thair satham, they don't give us what we like, they do everything that we don't like and we are supposed to wag our tails when they come and they go. All these slavery has happened only because we bark. If we don't bark at all, then why will they keep us at home? They will let us go. We will become free. Like this the guru dog was giving teaching. All the dogs agreed just like you but you know when the itch comes they had to bark just like you. You agree with everything that I say but anyway you do. So they said yes but especially on a moonlit night the dogs bark much more. Have you noticed this? Because in the night when they see their shadows and the moon they look up and they start barking. So when things were going on like this for many years then the guru dogs sixth birthday, not sixtieth. Sixth birthday. Being Indians don't add zeros. It's not realistic for a dog. Sixth birthday and they thought we must give him a surprise gift. So they sat down for a meeting without him. They're meeting to say what should we offer, our guru. So somebody said in Amazon I saw a really nice brass studded belt collar and they said they rejected this saying this is a symbol of slavery. Our guru is always working for our liberation and mukti. He won't like these things. Then they said I saw a gold plated chain in the local mall. That should be good. It looks like a really nice ornament like how humans being swear. Then they rejected that a chain is a symbol of slavery. That's not it. Like this many suggestions dog biscuits and this and that and other fair and lovely care. Everything was rejected. Then they decided what is it that our guru really wants. He wants us to be free from the human beings. He doesn't want us to bark. On this full moon day which is his birthday, let us do one thing. That night none of us will bark. Full moon day evening is approaching. They know their weakness. If they see the moon they'll feel like barking. So some of them went under your sofas. Some of them went under your parked cars because they don't want to look at the moon. If they look at the moon they'll feel like barking. So they were all holding tight and sitting. The guru dog had his dinner and he came to the meeting place. Nobody has turned up. Unlike you, he just walked around for digestion and how come nobody has come? Like this, like this he looked. When these two directions were over what do you do? Looked up. There he saw the moon. He got the itch. He felt like barking. I cannot bark you know. I have been teaching everybody not to bark. I cannot bark. He put his head down and walked. Again he got a itch. Then he struggled with it. Then he looked around. Anyway nobody is here. Little barking is not going to cause any harm to anybody. So he said, bow. Who is that? The moment they heard this bow, all of them thought, oh anyway the gift has been broken by somebody and they all started. This is how the world is destroyed because somebody is doing something. That destroys something. Oh he is doing it. So what's the problem? I can do it too. Everybody did it. Now a mighty, a super mighty life like river, if you don't know what I am talking about, do this. In the next two years all of you must do this, I am telling you. Somewhere maybe from Malabat to Kashi or somewhere, take one boat. There are boats. They'll safely take you. You can wear your life jacket and all that stuff. Just go down. Probably it takes two-and-a-half days to get to Kashi. It'll be the experience of your life. Just feeling the river, what it means, what a life it is. It's a mighty life. And we brought such a mighty life to its knees. Thinking, okay she is doing something. So I also do something. He also does something. Somebody else does something. In the end what you see is a disaster. Little little things everybody doing. So anyway we've come to this barking business. Let's bark in a productive way. This happened. This is well before all this Chandrayaan, Mangalyaan, Apollo, Sputnik, all this well before that a few centuries ago. This happened in America where people believed there are other people living on the moon and they want to naturally have a chat with them. So there was no technological means. So they decided one appointed day at a specific time all of us will come on our rooftops. Just at that moment, every one of us in one single voice, we will shout who. The idea is who are you? Who are you to get it in a rhythm? You know how we're getting Bharatam all distorted? Like that it'll become. So just one word all of us say who and if they hear that, let's see what they say, who they are. You know it's America. So that appointed time came everybody stood on their rooftops ready with their lungs flared up. But then I thought, you know, just a small voice without a microphone you couldn't even hear me. She's there, she has a big voice. When she's there and he's there and she's there and he's there and he's there and she's there, such big champion voices. Then all of them are shouting, what is my voice? Nothing much. And this is a unique moment. When the entire world says something in one voice, you want to hear that. So when that moment came, I kept quiet. And that moment was a spectacular moment because that moment passed in absolute silence. Because everybody thought the same, all these big champions will do, what? I'm there. I'm not a missed call, I'm missed. I'm the one who missed. Everybody's calling, it's okay. So this is one big problem with lot of human beings. If they have to get something, they become very big, they have rights. If they have to give something, they will become so small and insignificant, there's something worthless all of a sudden, they'll become very humble. After all, I'm nothing, Satguru. What can I do, Satguru? But you go and see them in their day-to-day life. Yes or no? You just have to reverse the equation. When you have to contribute something, you are big. When you have to receive something, you become small, life will change dramatically, dramatically, believe me. So, the rally for rivers continues till the rivers flow. We have many things rolling out on the ground, but this will need dedicated people. Oh, that's okay. What can I do, Satguru? We don't want any emotional action. Tomorrow morning you go and plant a tree next to Yamuna. Its dose was so toxic, even the tree will die. That's not the action we want. Right now the action is to get the governments in the country to act. There's a lot of work to do. Today we have presented the draft policy recommendations for revitalization of India's rivers. We have presented this to the prime minister, which was received with at most reverence and enthusiasm for the cause. But that's not the end of the game. There is a lot more to be done, because to translate this into action, there is a lot of work to be done. This work, unless we keep the throttle on, it may go on the back burner. There are thousand issues on their hands on a day-to-day basis. Whatever is crying right now, they will attend to that. So, you must all be crying. You must use your lung power. Anyway you speak, right? Every day. So, I want you to just dedicate ten percent of your speech, whatever you speak per day. Let us say you are speaking ten thousand words. Thousand words should be about rivers every day. How's that? If you're sending out hundred messages, ten messages should be about rivers. Asad guru, but my friends will think I'm a nutcase. If you don't do it, you are a nutcase, because if you don't understand why, from where the source of life is for you and me, you are a nutcase, isn't it? Tell me. This is like the proverbial panchatantra story, you know, the man sitting on the wrong side of the branch and chopping it when he succeeds, he's going to crash. Is he not a fool? Is he not a nutcase? That's exactly where we are right now. If we succeed, we will fail. How's that? Only if our economy fails and everything that we are doing fails, then we will survive. Is this not a nutcase business? Hello? Is this not absolutely insane population, I'm asking you? If we succeed, we must thrive, isn't it? No. If we fail, we will survive. If we succeed, we will be damned. That's how we are going in the world, not just India, entire world, but India will get it first simply because of the population pressure and within the limited land, how much population you have, we will get the first dose of the disaster. The world will get it too, but some are better organized and they've built walls, so this must continue and we will... the Rally for Rivers Facebook will remain active. What is the course of action at every point will come on that. I want all of you to respond and be active and see it. If not every day, once a week you must go to Rally for Rivers Facebook. Suppose nothing is posted, you post something, all right? Because keep it active. I want you to understand everybody else who is working within the foundation are also volunteers like you. It is just that they took a little bigger step than you, that's all. Otherwise they are also volunteers. They came there for a spiritual process, but now we are putting them into other action because no action is not spiritual in my way, in my way of looking at things. I am telling you, what I learned on the street led me into who I am today. It's up to you. When you see lots of negative things, either you become part of that or you grow beyond that. That's up to you in every moment of your life, isn't it? Hmm? This is why lotus is always used as a symbol in yoga because lotus grows best in filth. Some people develop allergy to filth. Such people will become constipated. Some other people think, anyway there is so much filth, let me also become filth. They will become filth. Some will use the filth as manure and blossom into a very fragrant flower. This is the three choices we have. With every aspect of our life, doesn't matter where we are placed in our life right now. In what kind of situations we are placed right now, either you can use it to grow or you can use it to make nothing out of yourself or you can become allergic and try to exclude yourself from everything. This is the choice. But without involvement, there is no experience of life, isn't it? Hmm? Without involvement, there is no experience. If life has to become profound, involvement must be unbridled. Only then there is profoundness to life. Calculated involvement will take care of your survival and nothing but. But then what the hell are you surviving for? Because anyway you will die. If you could survive forever by withdrawing from life, by not giving yourself to anything, if you could survive forever, that would be a worthy cause. But it doesn't matter how much you survive, anyway you will die. Isn't it better to be involved and die? Hmm? To experience life as profoundly as possible and die. So the next course of action is towards getting this into your policy. There are many many complexities. Okay? It's not a simple process. There are many aspects to it. There are legislative challenges, legal challenges, administrative challenges and execution, there are many complexities. One fortunate thing for us is the political class across political spectrum, the different parties, they've all come together for this one rally. This is this is a tremendous plus. This is a tremendous plus. Because of that more than 50% of the problems are solved because of that one hurdle that we have crossed. The rest of it is technical challenges, administrative challenges which has to be addressed in detail and maybe much back and forth will happen. I hope it doesn't go into years, we hope to settle this in a few months. But we need people to handle these things and we need people on the ground, we need people to lead this and many states are expecting that we will do those economic modules, 50 to 100 kilometer stretches of the river, where we can show that shifting to tree-based agriculture is far more beneficial to the farmer than the way he's doing things. For all this we need lots of people. These 16 states, I'm thinking 100 people from each state means 1600 but some are two in one. I said when I was in Chandigarh I said this is a two in one state. They said the chief minister said no it's three in one because there are two states in the union territory. You also something like that hybrid you are. So taking all this I'm looking in the next few years at least 1200 people standing up full time and making things happen. Immediately we need at least a few hundred people who will be on the ground because training will take two-three months or five months or six months depending on how dumb you are. Okay and there is a whole lot of work to turn this into a policy and put it on the ground. These are two aspects of it. In some states I'm very confident it'll happen even without policy being passed it will just happen. In some states it will be a struggle. In some states it will be an uphill task. All these things are there. There are topographical issues, there are cultural issues, there are variety of issues which needs to be handled but in the next five years time if we set up large enough modules, successful modules on the ground we have done our job and after that the nation to what extent it takes it or doesn't take it is left to people but we have shown that it is a successful module, large enough module that nobody can ignore. Beyond that you know we'll see. So we need young people to stand up over what do I do sath guru but I you know I bought my new motorcycle I have to pay the loan I'll give you a old one. I'm saying just surrender this one thought what about me you will see life will happen in heaps life will happen in a torrent not in a limited way not as a trickle and there are things to do which you should do which is beyond yourself only if you do something larger than yourself forever you feel fulfilled you do things which are smaller than you everyday evening you have to go to your party otherwise you can't laugh you can't smile you can't sing you can't dance because unless you get drunk on something life doesn't happen without chemicals the entire world is moving in this direction if I just look at the moon I get intoxicated within two minutes because there's a big ball of hash out there yes I get totally and if I were not hashed out like that all the time 30 days on the road I think they were putting out yesterday on the way this thing I don't know how many of you grasped it 146 events and over 185 or whatever 180 one on one interviews most of the time when I was driving I was doing interviews because microphones and cameras everything was set in that car we're driving constantly at a certain speed through all kinds of traffic and terrain but constantly I was doing interviews on the on the draft only today because the rally is over my throat is giving up a little bit so this effort that so many people have put in all the celebrities in the country icons sport icons film icons political leaders and the volunteers and the ashram inmates and brahmacharis most of them this is normal for them not to think about what will happen to them they are working like they're going to die today like today is the last day like that that's a way to live how do you know today is not the last day anyway hello how do you know today is not the last day you don't know isn't it or sattguru but you know you have blessed us and you must also change the complexion of the isha crowd some of these young boys and girls are just going crazy they're thrusting their phones into my face and knocking me down because they want to take a selfie when i'm down you what's happening a little more civilization yesterday i don't know if you're here one of the young boys in this madness to take selfie they hit sonu nikam in the forehead with his phone like this talk and he went like this i said what are you doing you know no no selfie selfie the american side psychiatric association has said selfie taking is a disorder i always knew but i have also taken seven selfies have you seen them i have taken seven and i will continue to take wherever i see a river but it's tough from now on to stop and take it but you must take selfies only with rivers okay you you're taking a lot of selfies huh you become you make yourself so beautiful that others will want to take a picture of you yes but sattguru how to become beautiful will you take me to florida no no no that doesn't make you beautiful a joyful face is always a beautiful face isn't it it's not the shape of the nose it's not the shape of the chin or the color of your skin which makes you beautiful you just look at a really joyful face it's always a beautiful face isn't it so just carry a joyful face and see people on the street will take pictures of you that's how it should happen you clicking your own what is that and at least in the isha meetings please stop this selfie business because it's getting it's getting unruly and uncivilized don't pull out your cell phones in the satsang and in another 20 minutes it'll be on the youtube what are you going to do with your cell phone they're capturing with good cameras and they want to put it out there you download it and keep it in your phone no no you want to capture it and in that you miss the entire satsang this is happening to a lot of people so you must stop it not just you stop it you must stop others who who want to use technology to destroy themselves see this is such a fantastic thing this phone is not a simple thing maybe all of you do not know what it was before we got these phones i must tell you this when we're building the foundation when isha foundation is being built i'm always you know i don't have a a phone book or a diary or anything i'm everything is here so i have to call lots of people i have at least 800 to 850 numbers on my mind and their names and numbers local numbers international numbers everything today i cannot even remember my own number because of this first cell phone so when i want to make phone calls i just go to one of those blue boxes you know STD ISD local all that stuff and blue color metal box which is heart and grills outside so i go there and first thing is i pull out 5000 rupees and give it to him he looks at it why because usually the calls are 10 rupees 20 rupees 100 rupees like this i give him 5000 bucks so i said just keep it because he has to fight my battles then once i go into the booth i will call for the next two three hours so others will come and say but that guy will be taking care of them because i've already given him advance what he would earn that entire day he's making it up in two three hours time so he's happy fighting my battle with all the people so i keep on calling calling calling calling on the highway if i see a blue booth somewhere without too many people i stop there and start my calls today i'm driving if i say the name my phone calls the convenience of that not a small thing the tremendous thing such a tremendous thing don't make a nuisance out of it isn't it a tremendous convenience in our lives tremendous never before was it ever possible you can pull something out of your pocket and speak to somebody in america when was it possible ever so don't make such a fantastic convenience into terrible nuisance that you thrust it in somebody's face all the time yes it's very important because how you use those technologies also determines how you going to use this technology this has become a nuisance your brain has become a nuisance isn't it instead of giving you ecstasy it is giving you headache this is simply because you don't know how to use the technology isn't it such a tremendous thing it took millions of years to manufacture this and now it's a mess people are thinking with half the brain they would be better yes so i want you to use this rally in every possible way to enhance your own life your life should flow along with the rivers it's very important so i'm looking forward to managing to live with deli people in the ashram i mean those youth hundred youth were coming we will manage with you because you breathe in here and you come out and breathe there we have to endure the pollution but we have we have a hundred million trees in the backyard backyard of the ashrams you know we have a rainforest which runs for nearly ten thousand square miles the entire forest is over ten thousand square miles so we can handle the pollution that you bring don't worry about that but you must come minus one thought what's the thought you got it then what so just one question if you think it's a relevant question don't ask me sath guru can i take a selfie namaskaram sath guru can i take two minutes for a question something i need to tell you and then ask the question we'll take a vote you want to give him two minutes thank you thank you so i've always wanted to be a musician and my and i have a south indian father so it was a very rocky relationship with him and he sent me for b-tech in andhra pradesh i ran away from hostel i came back to delhi he put me into law i quit that finally somehow established myself in delhi as a small musician and later on i became a part of rally for rivers and i volunteered myself some big explosion happened within me yesterday and i told my like i got a link on a whatsapp group by vingaka saying that we could volunteer ourselves for the next three years as being part of the rally for rivers thing so i registered myself yesterday and i told my father that i'll be leaving everything and what are you leaving man you got nothing you left that's all thanks so he everybody likes to make some drama about i'm leaving everything what the hell are you leaving i'm going to give the entire wellingiri mountain to you how's that thank you so my father got really angry because he saw me settling into something after a very long time and he was like this is not what you want to do and he became so angry that he called you a spiritual terrorist and he wanted me to ask you this that what is my responsibility as a son for my parents and i want to ask you this that am i doing the right thing i believe that i am doing the right thing there are no right things to do in life if you choose something and put everything that you have into it it'll become a great thing is it the right thing is it the best thing when you say is it the right thing what you're asking is is it the best thing to do in life there is no best thing to do in life anything that you take up and if you put your heart and soul into it it becomes a great thing is it the best thing no then what is the best thing there is no such thing there's really no such thing and now that you have duties towards your parents tell me whether it's to yourself or to your parents or to anybody don't look at yourself as a a deliite or an idiot whatever you want to call yourself if you're just a piece of life hello and today you're here one day you'll be poop gone what do you think is your duty to this life and to every life please tell me what is living fully meaner no you are a brief life you're a brief life i want to just imagine you've seen those insects which come when it rains you know and switch fly suppose you are that you just came alive gone that's what you are just compared to the span of your life the insects life is looking so meaningless and poop and gone that's what the rivers are thinking about you poop and gone yes or no compared to their lifespan you are just like that insect or less than that insect isn't it so but you don't know what the insect is thinking but at least you i want you to think and see it's a bloody brief life both for you and your father and don't you ever take this south india in a negative as if a south indian father is some terrible phenomenon you tell your father i defended his south indian origins in this country in this culture people desperately wanted to have a son not because they had a kingdom to rule because they believed if they have a child because the girl will get married and go off somewhere if the son is there he will be there and make sure that before they die he will take them to kashi or he will take them to the right place and see that they get mukti that is the entire process of life here because we saw the very process of life and it's exuberant flying around for some time and poof this itself is a trap suppose you remembered 100 last times of coming up flying around falling in love reproducing south indian or north indian and kayaanthasthanam suppose you remembered 100 happenings like this would it become in english yes because of loss of memory everything is looking fresh yes so your fundamental duty towards yourself and your father is just to remind them of this it's all right what your father calls me what does it matter he's after all south indian so are you doing the right thing i don't know sir all i know is this needs to be done and those who do it with all that they have will find fulfillment i'm not somebody whoever debated is this the right thing to do in my life what was needed i jumped into it because if you're a constipated life you will always be thinking about what to do what not to do what to do what not to do what is my passion what is not my passion why the hell are you not passionate about everything hello why are you not passionate about everything in the existence you're only passionate about one thing means what you constipated that's what it means so say idiots do things that they don't like to do suffer their whole life because they think it's needed or they think it's their duty intelligent people do what they love to do they enjoy their life to some extent but a genius learns to do what is needed joyfully that's when your genius flowers because it's no more about you now there's a limitless way of looking at life so every aspect of this rally or many other things we have done i don't even have to tell people that this must happen this must happen this must happen a few things yes rest of it i just make it up in my mind and i know it must happen and it will happen not because not because i'm exercising my will over the world because i'm just fulfilling the will of the world that's all you're interested in reading this book how many minutes do you need ma'am okay that's a question that was a story she's asking a question we were talking about there's an analogy of the lotus that flashes in muddy water i said filth how do we allow the lotus that exists in each one of us to flourish and filth and even though in this in this age of whatever we call it kalyogan there's so much of volatility how does the human mind create a focus and consistency in thought that enables it to isolate itself from filth so to speak and let the the mind develop and flash as a lotus you've been listening to me it's audio working did i talk about isolating yourself from filth if you isolate yourself you will die because of lack of nourishment if you're a plant what people think is filth is your food isn't it so hello if you are a plant if you are a tree what other people think is filth isn't it your food so lotus thrives on it what is filth is only in the human mind isn't it huh this happened very wonderfully i was teaching a program in a village in Tamil Nadu way back maybe 27 26 27 years ago in a small village called velayi the palyam i enjoyed those cute villages teaching very simple people but they are the people who stood like pillars for the foundation to grow so i was teaching them at that time sunya program and i'm talking about how when you meditate when you go beyond a certain level of relaxation if you don't come out and become active once again the blood will try to push back the impurities into the cellular level this is like you gave so much filth to the municipality in the last one year and you did not pay your taxes so the municipality decides 10 loads of filth they will put it in your house today and go because that's what has come from your house so if they do like this what will you do in one voice they said why look for to grow that means they said we will use it in the paddy fields i i just took butt stuck for a moment this is an example which is working wonderfully well in the city when i'm speaking in english language and i'm talking to people if you put back all the filth into your house will you take it no no no we don't want the filth but these village people who are all farmers they said why look for to grow so what is filth for you is very precious for many other creatures particularly the plant life isn't it so there is sufficient filth around you and within you yes and how to transform this into a fragrant blossom that's a question not how to isolate yourself because you never can isolate yourself because what is on your mind is not your choice whatever you have seen everything that you're exposed to is on your mind isn't it now what will you make out of it is your choice will you smear this filth on your face and walk around in the world or will you make this lotus blossom that's all the choice you have filth or no filth you have no choice believe me even if you go and sit in a Himalayan cave dirty thoughts can come to you you think they'll go away you already tested them they'll not go away but if you learn to transform all this into another possibility then it doesn't matter what comes your way will not determine where you go right now for most people what comes their way determines where they go in their life that is why they're so paranoid and scared of their life but if you know how to transform filth into wealth it's an important part of the document transforming filth into wealth on a different scale but i'm saying within yourself if you know how to transform filth into wealth what comes at you doesn't matter whatever comes at you the worst things that come at you if you know how to make the best out of it then why do you distinguish something is filth this is why shiva is described in many ways in one moment he's a sundar murthy the most beautiful human being in another moment he's hideous he's in the most ugly forms in the most filthy forms why this is shown like this is to make you understand life has all these aspects what will you make out of it that's all the big question is and that's the only thing this culture has always worshipped otherwise your ramas your krishna's even shiva himself if you look at the worldly life of theirs it's a big failure isn't it rama is a serial disaster yes even the property is taken continuous disaster any one of those incidents happened in your life you would be broken huh your wife kidnapped and your children taken away from you then you fight a battle with your children your kingdom gone all these things will break human beings isn't it but whatever happened he stayed about so we are not worshipping worshipping him for his success we are worshipping him because it doesn't matter what you thought him he still goes through it untouched all their lives if you look at it if you look at the events of their life it is one big failure krishna worked his all his life to avoid that war all he ended up in was in the terrible war and he has to give his teaching there in that war but he remains untouched so this is becoming a lotus this is making filth into a great wealth within yourself you don't have do you have a duryodhana in your neighborhood no dushyasana no so that kind of ugly drama is not happening in your life isn't it yes or no the kind of ugly drama that happened in draupadi's life he's not happening in your life nowhere near that isn't it huh nowhere near that yes it's happening to you she's no no nowhere near that you don't know what happened to her it's another matter so whatever drama is happening if you understand one fundamental thing if you don't forget one fundamental fact that you are here just for a brief amount of time you came with nothing you go with nothing this is not philosophy this is a fact of life don't think yes yes what is there we all go don't make a philosophy out of it it's a fact that you will go isn't it hello is it philosophy that you will die or is it a fact that you will die it's a fact that you will die isn't it and it's a fact that you are born with nothing it's a fact that you will die with nothing so in between drama whatever the hell happens whatever the hell all right happens you can make heaven out of it within yourself because just look at the joke of it or people who come with nothing for every if they lose a safety pin they will cry because they can't poke anybody anymore tell me what are they not crying about just about everything isn't it so will you get this point on your death bed or today that's all the choice you have you'll anyway get it one day believe me but will you get it before it's too late or will you get it in time so that here there can be a blossomed human being or a constipated human being this is all the choice this is all the choice there is no other choice no but sadguru you know what happened i will tell you what happens at the very end that's not happened yet i think you're still alive yes that's not happened yet that means everything is perfect but my husband oh my child my mother my south indian father poor man came north as quickly as possible in united states you will see these kind of stickers on those pickup trucks i was not born in the south got here as quick as i could they're very proud of being south so are we don't ever but your father quickly got north and he thought he will save you by sending you south but you ran away this time you're not going to run away so this is all there is right now the only thing there is is rally for a verse because after all all the idiots in the world are looking for a purpose here is the purpose good enough isn't it why i'm saying idiots in the world is because they have only those who have not tasted life will look for a purpose if you have tasted life beyond your psychological drama then you will see you don't need any purpose to be fully on just yesterday some journalist was asking me sadguru what drives you i said well i was the one who was driving the car they thought something else was driving me no i was the one who was driving the damn car what drives me why should anything drive me nothing drives me i'm essentially lazy but because something needs to be done i just do it that's all if there is nothing to be done i'm essentially very lazy it's just that in this life they have not given me time for that that's about it but fundamentally i'm very lazy within myself that is why i am at so much ease never busy you know lot of things happening but i'm not busy do i look busy do i look busy right now do i look busy no even when i was driving through the worst traffic i was not busy i was singing or giving an interview or doing something that's not busy that's called a holiday let's make this happen it's a great opportunity wrongly colored okay okay okay you know later give you got it all wrong okay
