 Hello, sir. Hello, sir. Greetings, sir. Greetings, sir. It's a great pleasure to talk to you, Sindhu. You are the pride of the nation in many ways and Telugu people, right? Telugu people, Telugu people, you are the big pride for us. I too am Telugu. Oh, yes, sir. Actually, I wanted to ask you something, sir. You came to Telugu after coming to Mars. But really talking in Telugu is definitely a great thing. Yes, it's like that. If you say, I went to the Alwath Lake, it's Telugu. How are you, sir? I'm fine. I thought of coming to Coimbatore many times, sir. But I'm not sure. I'll definitely come to this year's festival. You should come to this year's festival, right? I'll definitely come. Within this year, you must come. Yes, yes. I will, sir. Definitely. A few questions are nice, sir. I wanted to ask you some things I wanted to know. So, firstly, it's a great feeling talking to you. And now, we all are on standstill. We all are at our homes. So, as you know, I am a nature lover, sir. I feel that, you know, a lot of... Whenever I'm out there, you know, I feel that I have that peace. I'm very peaceful. So, make sure to listen to this. COVID-19, we have noticed a big dip in pollution levels across the world. And the rivers are cleaner, the air is fresher and we are producing less waste. So, please sustain this momentum and motivate people to care for the environment. I just wanted to know. So, if you're a nature lover, you must come to Isha Yoga Center because our backyard is 10,000 square miles of rainforest. Oh, definitely. It's absolutely spectacular and beautiful out here. Well, you know, in the last 40 years, I have stayed home for more than 40 days for the first time because of this virus. Thanks to the virus, unfortunately it's taking lives. Otherwise, it's a beautiful opportunity for me. So, about talking about less pollution, all this definitely has happened. So, this is something we've... I've been addressing for over 25 years continuously. You must have heard of Rally for Reverse and Cauvery Calling projects and things like that. My engagement with nature has always been very profound. I'm not an environmentalist or I'm a scientist or something. I'm... I'm like a worm in the soil. You know, I know as much about the soil and river as a worm knows. But I think worm generally knows more than the PhDs know about it because external knowledge and intrinsic feeling and experience of what it is is very different. It's like, suppose I've done a PhD on badminton, will I know what you know? I will not know. Because you are the... you know, you are in it. That's very different. So that's been my experience and it's... it's a welcome thing that a whole lot of people are talking about how air is cleaner, water is purer. See, if we say... if... if we have to go by the definition of what is life, right now if somebody asks you how is your life, maybe you think of your medals this year, somebody thinks of the money they're making, somebody thinks about their wealth, their relationships or something like this. But essentially life means, within ourselves, because this body is made of five fundamental elements of water, soil, fire, air and space, life essentially means how wonderful is these five elements within you. Right now we are talking about five elements around us. But if five elements around us are not in a very good condition, they will not be in good condition here either, that we know that. So now people are experiencing, even in Delhi you can... you know, you cannot see the air anymore. Delhi was one place where you could see the air that you breathe. So these things are happening, it's very good, but we need to also understand we shouldn't get too excited about these things because you cannot create an ecological or environmental difference without a long-term commitment and action towards that. So this short-term thing, six weeks we have closed down everything, everything seems to be okay. Once the economy gets back into thing in the next two months time, everything will be back to how it was. Because there is no fundamental policy change, there is no fundamental attitudinal change, or there is no industrial revolution which is taking us from polluting industries to some other dimension. Nothing like that has happened. So it is just that we've been locked down. So the simple thing is the human footprint has been minimal. Because human footprint is minimal, everything seems to be doing better. So this is something continuously I'm talking and because of this one thing, all major religions have been against me. You know, the Hindus are against me, Muslims are against me, Christians are against me, because I've been saying without reducing human population, there is no way out of this situation. Because for, you know, right now we are 7.6 billion people, United Nations is estimating we will be 9.7 billion people by 2050. If 9.7 billion people are on this planet, it doesn't matter what wealth we have, what money we have, what education we have, we will not live well, no matter what. So in a way we are living as if we are the last generation on this planet. So now this virus has come, reminded us of our mortality in a strong way. So this is definitely the time to think instead of making these kind of predictions that by 2050 we will be nearly 10 billion people. Why can't we have a plan? By 2050 will be 3.5 or 4 billion people. If you do not reduce a human footprint, no matter what technology comes, what decisions we make, nothing is going to work because it's a human footprint essentially. So because we need to understand in 1947 when we got our independence, we were only 33 crore people in this country. And average life expectancy of an Indian was 28 years of age. That means I must be dead by now, only you can be alive. Fortunately now we have moved this to some 73 or 74 years of age, which is a very wonderful achievement for the nation. But when we push the death, when we postpone the death, we must also postpone the birth, isn't it? We have done it in a minimal way, but we have not done it significantly enough to make the difference. If we don't do that one thing, we can go on talking about it, but disaster will continue. Because the level of ecological disaster, most people are not conscious of their only thinking pure air in the city. That's not what it is. From 1970 to now in the last 50 years, nearly seventy percent of the vertebrate population has come down, animal population. So similarly insect population, bird population, everything is going down. We need to understand our life is not independent of all these lives. Only when all these lives are functioning well, our life also will happen well. So this little break, if people are enjoying pure air and pure water and things like that, if they value that, we must change our concept of how are you doing means if you say I am well, it means all the elements in me are doing well, all the elements around me are doing well. I am feeling wonderful. This is what it means, not the money in my bank. True, sir, I agree to that and definitely adding to that, sir, are you a river person or like a mountain person? I know you've been like travelling and doing these valley-for-river things and definitely it's a great thing and I just wanted to ask if you were... Mountain person or river? See, I can't live without mountains. But because now that you ask this question, there is a thing to it because once you have mountains, rivers normally always come out of the mountain. So a river also is an add-on. But if you just choose the river, you may end up in the delta. Yes. The mountain together add-on with the river. Both here in our background is, you know, we are at the foothills of Wellingery Mountain, which is part of Western Guards. In United States, our ashram is in the Piluchin Mountains. So without mountain, I cannot live. Live. I agree to that, sir. One more, sir. I wanted to ask was, yes, as you know, we've been at home and, you know, education is one of the vital elements of the society and this long-term has brought a serious break to learning and teachers across the country have risen to their call of duty as corona, you know, by working nearly twice as hard to make sure the learning is continued. They are teaching children online on Zoom calls or Google calls and taking care of their homes. So what message would you give to the teachers of our country? Because I know, you know, before there were schools and, you know, they were teaching, but now it's become much more harder for the teachers. So what is the message that you give them? Well, this was bound to happen. I've, you know, I've been predicting this for the last six, seven years that these schools will become redundant. But this is by being my wish since my childhood that school should become redundant. I went to school only when it was absolutely necessary. Considering your sport, I think you are also my kind, you have not been to school much. Yeah, yes, not regularly, yeah. So, so this, our idea of schooling is coming from Manchester version of industry, you know, mass production, everything. So this is a English version which we took on, they are changing their education, but we are not changing ours in India. So it's important that this changes because there is something, this is a information age where information is available everywhere. It is not like you have to read a textbook, it's all over the place, whatever you want to know. So when information is so widely available, right now the whole schooling system is just delivering information to the students, which is redundant. Once artificial intelligence comes, schools will become completely, absolutely redundant. I think virus is only hastening this process. It is not necessary that we have to come together to learn information. We must come together for inspiration, for focus, for interaction, for various other things, but unfortunately only for information. I would say, right now we have school for five, six days, and then one day or one-and-a-half days or weekend is a holiday. We must just reverse that. That two-day school, five days you just learn wherever you learn. That's how it should become in future. But we have built enormous amount of physical infrastructure, the amount of buildings around the world, in the name of schools and colleges and universities, phenomenal. This will become not so relevant in future and it would happen anyway in the next 15, 20 years. But now with this virus, it may happen very quickly, because going and sitting in one place is going to be a problem anyway. So this is a very welcome development. It is not even necessary teachers should be teaching on Zoom or whatever, this that is part of their profession right now, but actually in future this won't be needed. Let us say you want to learn physics. The best physics teacher in the world, whatever they have thought, it's available to all of us. Why is a local teacher who's not grasped physics fully is trying to teach me, I'm asking. You and me want to learn physics or chemistry. The best possible teacher who's taught in the world is available. We must learn from that. But we go to the teacher for inspiration for, you know, certain experimentation, integration of things, that should happen. So this just throwing in information at the children and thinking we're educating, that is gone because these days a ten-year-old child is better informed than their parents actually on many aspects of life. Yeah, as you said, definitely yes, I agree to that because there's information everywhere nowadays and you know everybody is just one sitting like away from the information and there's this overwhelming information everywhere. So how to shape up our own individual personality and preserve our individuality. Like is there a balance between adapting to the change time or changing time and saying to yourself, like how? See, when you say individual personality, see what the word, the word personality comes from a root word called persona. Persona means a mask that you wear. To perform a certain kind of function, you have to wear a certain mask. Now you are a sports person. When you are on the court, you have one kind of mask that is needed. That mask must be aggressive, bringing fear in your opponent if necessary, whatever. You need to wear that kind of a mask. You don't wear that mask at home. You don't wear that mask with your friend. Because this mask means you must be able to wear by choice and take it off. In this virus time, everybody is masked no choice, a different kind of mask. But that is what personality means. To perform different types of activities, we need to structure ourselves in a certain way. But what happens over a period of time, by the time people are 30-35, they've gotten stuck with one mask. They're not able to take it off. Everywhere they are the same way. Now it will become a painful experience. If you see between a child, anybody, whatever their age today, when they were five, six years of age, if you see their faces were all like this one big smile grinning, you can't stop them from grinning. But slowly it becomes so grave and long. Simply because they're stuck with their own personality. One mask they wore and they can't remove it. All the time it's stuck. So we don't have to crystallize our personality. It's very important we keep our personality so flexible. To perform different types of activities we should be able to put on different kind of masks. Without a mask you cannot work. Without a personality you cannot function in the world. But you don't have to be stuck with one persona. You can be a different person as the situation demands. You can be that kind of a person. That is when you will find full expression to yourself, otherwise you will get stuck within a structure that you created. It's a prison that you build and get stuck to it. If somebody imprisons you that is unfortunate but understandable. But if you imprison yourself it cannot be anything more stupid than that. But that's what is happening to 90% of the humanity most of the time. But to this and sir we just asked that talking about masks I feel that it's not just to yourself. I know you want to be happy you just want to remove your mask be happy, stay happy but it also depends on the other person that you talk to or you react to. So I'm sure that time your mask is again on. So what do you do for that like for example you're talking to a person and you don't like that person and you have to act accordingly to what he say and you might say like okay you know what that is what he said and I have to act in a way that okay I need to be nice to So how do you react to that See Mass Because a lot of times it happens like for everyone I'm sure. Tell me tell me who is that guy first of all No, no, no No This is going to be news in the country No, no, no I meant to say like you know with a lot of people like when you're talking to a friend you know sometimes you might be angry at them sometimes you might not like what they do like for example your best friend is doing something and you know you might not like it but then you're like it's okay never mind you can't say it on their face saying that you know I didn't like it don't do that they might get offended is what I'm saying I'm usually saying it on that face most of the time Because I have faced a few times like you know when you're talking to your friends or other people you might feel that they're wrong but you hesitate to tell them you know I sometimes can't tell or you know there are a lot of people who can't tell on their faces See it is not about people being right and wrong it is just that every human being is acting and living and understanding life according to their understanding and their intelligence not everybody can perceive life and understand life to the same extent if you see people are the way they are because of the limitations that are there you would strive to see how to help them to break their limitations rather than making a judgment right wrong good bad all these things there are different types of people everything that everybody does it is not necessary that you must like it or I must like it it's not so but there is no need for us if you wear a mask to perform a certain function you are still who you are within the mask but right now the problem is the mask sits so tight on your face you cannot distinguish which is the mask so when I say a mask or a persona what it means is you consciously wear when you consciously wear it it is there it is there for the function but you don't become that see when I say you don't become that right now you are a tall girl I saw on any podium you stand you are like taller than anybody so you were not born like this you were born just this much and now you became this much this is just accumulation body is just an accumulation similarly what you call as my mind my thought, my emotion are accumulations what we gather belongs to us cannot be us isn't it it is not us right now this clothing it may belong to me but it can't be me similarly the body, similarly the structures of the mind if we become conscious of this body and what is not me if this one thing everybody settles within themselves if they are conscious of this all these are not a issue we will use this body we will use this mind to the best of its capabilities and that's all especially for you as a sports person using your body and mind to the best of its capabilities all that matters in the end so right now you yourself would have noticed as every human being would have noticed in their day to day activity sports person I am saying for you because the consequence of you not functioning at your best is immediately right there for others if they don't do something well today it may take two years before the results come to them for you it is immediate there is a bad shot right there if you don't function well at that moment so because of that it is far more easier for you to notice this that how many times in your life your own thought, your own emotion your own opinions become a barrier to your function so in the world there are many many challenges right now we are in a very challenging time but you yourself your own faculties your own thought, your own emotion your own functioning of your body should not become an impediment in your life that is the most important thing every human being should do what the world will allow us to do or not we don't know at times we are in see today because you are in 21st century you are welding a a racket but probably if you were here a thousand years ago you would be welding a sword or something else you know I am saying it is the times which is allowing us to do what we are doing so at this time as there are possibilities there are challenges in this if an individual human being you know is here without making our body our thought, our emotion our energies be a challenge by itself if you just remove this one challenge in your life you will perform to your best your best will be the best in the world we don't know that is subject to various realities but the important thing is whether I am the best in the world or not is not important to your best you are always on you are never a barrier to yourself other barriers in the world we will have to cross well yes sir I agree to that but at the same time like you know when we play like you know I am a badminton player and a lot of people say that when we lose sometimes or when we are disappointed when we lose a match people say that it's okay you've done really well you are a great player you are a good player so people say that when playing like people say that you shouldn't be too much thinking that okay I am a great player I can win whatever match any match I play and you shouldn't be overconfident but you should be confident what is the difference people say that you shouldn't be overconfident when you go into the court you are being overconfident that's not really good for you but at the same time you have to be confident that you can win a match I wanted to know the difference because a lot of people told me this I hope those people who give you this advice have played some game in their life you know one day I was I was walking in the Chennai airport then the Indian hockey federation secretary saw me and said our boys are going to Germany for the champion please can you talk to them a few years ago the entire team was with us for eight days and we made a big difference for them at that time way back I am talking about almost 27 years ago so this is a few years later it is a completely new team he said especially that hockey team at that time largely came from the tribal areas in you know Assam, Odisha this kind of places so many of these boys have never even traveled outside the country for the first time they are going all between the ages of 18 to 22 most of them only two-three senior players everybody else is very young first time they are going into international trophy but they are good players they all come up in that Tata academy of hockey whatever that is they are good players but they have no exposure they are fearful so I went there to speak to these boys and there was one there had one psychologist somebody they had invited to speak to in the airport they are just about to board let's say in another hour they are leaving so this guy is telling they I can't repeat this word he is saying your parents this thing their you know honor is upon your shoulders something something he is saying okay these boys are just looking open mouth you know one billion people's expectations is killing nobody can carry it on their head so I looked at this torture they are doing to these boys and then they said ask me to speak I asked these boys do you like to play hockey they say yes then I said I am sure you know I played a lot of hockey when I was young I said I am sure you can't play hockey you don't know how to play hockey then suddenly they are proud so now we can play hockey we took a stick and a ball and dribbled around a little bit in the airport and then I said I don't think you guys you all gammads you come from tribal land can you play hockey you don't know how to play hockey then they got said no no we can play hockey better than anybody then what is your problem if you can play hockey put the damn ball in the goal that's all don't worry about your country worry about your mother about your father all this nonsense your only thing is you must have lust in your heart to put the ball in the goal that's all you don't try to carry India with you after you win the thing then India will come into picture at that time only thing that matters is the ball and where it goes whether it's with you or it's going to somebody else and you know like we are having a conversation was in Hyderabad I was having a conversation in Hyderabad and one of these person has after all the conversation the last question is this Sadhguru how to beat Pakistan in the cricket game I said beating Pakistan India Indian army should do Indian cricket team should not beat Pakistan they must just hit the ball they must just hit the ball what are you trying to beat Pakistan so with all this emotion you will do stupid things right now this is a thing that I am seeing that you know all the sports people have become like this it is not at all necessary to do that there is substantial medical and scientific evidence to show that when a person is of a pleasant experience joyful and well your chemistry is very pleasant this means your body your brain your instincts everything will function at its best there is enough evidence for this but now everybody is going like this they think only with aggression they can win it's not that you don't have to have any aggression you just have to hit the ball or shuttle or whatever you're hitting well that's about it so people believe unless you create a certain level of anger and this thing against somebody you can't play that is not so if you're enjoying the game you will play at your best and this trend is caught up like this that's why I said you must watch Ronaldinho how deceptive it is and how joyful he is have you seen Ronaldinho no I didn't you must see on the youtube you just go and watch Ronaldinho you must see because I thought in your game everything is fantastic no deception you're too direct yes yes I agree I agree to that because I think yes I am practicing on that and as you said you know how much ever you just play a stroke you know the opponent if the opponent knows he's going to take it easy and I'm sure like when you play against someone and it's just the difference of like 2-3 persons but I think if I improve my deception as you said definitely I'm going to raise you know some percent higher and I think you know talking about tall people and you know me having that good reach as you said yes definitely I have to utilize that and you know I'm definitely going to improve a lot more if I really focus on that yeah today morning I watched watched you playing did you find any mistakes sir like no see what I'm seeing is you're playing with a Japanese girl whatever her name she is both of you are international classes of players there's no it's not for me to teach Batman to you but what she is covering with one and half steps you are covering with a single step that the space this I mean don't take me wrongly I'm not saying anything that way you're actually you're actually built for tennis but you're playing shuttle I'm saying it's a much smaller court compared to your tennis court so you're covering it so efficiently and you know it's much easier for you to do that but a shorter person a shorter person is always much easier smaller person always is much easier to bend fold their body and get it back quickly a taller person always has little more difficulty in folding the body and unfolding the body so always it is important that you don't waste those those folding the body kind of shots for your opponent when the person is shot because they will easily take it in your mind because you're a tall person it's so difficult for you to go down and take it you give them those shots they will take it because they're so small and they're effortlessly going there apart from this see there are five elements in our body water, air, fire, earth and space this is called Akash there is there is a certain dimension of energy in the human body the way it functions the dynamics of yoga is related to these five elements it's called Bhuta Shuddhi that is if you cleanse these five elements in a certain way your body will function at its best that includes when I say body in yoga there is no mind and body separately mind is also a mental body everything is body that's how it is seen there are certain simple ways that you can enhance the dimension of Akash in you where if you do this your ability to perceive will be such if you can read the opponent one second ahead of their own intent suddenly you'll have a huge advantage over them you must do that there is a simple things I can either send someone to you so you can learn but if you can come here for three to four days we can do a good job on the whole thing because I feel just that one thing see you are able to play better than them on many when I watched a particular match which you won that is the world championships whatever in a very dominant way what I saw was that girl has to take nearly two steps to match your one step so you're clearly using that advantage but there is no deception and your your ability to read that girl is simply logical it is not intuitive if an intuitive reading comes into the thing that you know what she's going to do before she does it you will be definitely a few percentage points ahead these things are not just natural and accidental we can also cultivate them see every human being has this I'm sure as a sports person at that level you have some intuitive way of looking at things but it can be cultivated as you have cultivated your body and your skill of playing the game you can also cultivate your intuitive nature so that you're able to see what's going to come now just one second advantage if you have nobody will be a match I'm particularly concerned because the shelf life of a professional athlete is so small you must exploit it fully when you are there I agree to that completely because as we said deception and knowing you know one second ahead of your opponent that will definitely make a huge difference in my game and as you said I will definitely come visit and I will only come with my family and stay there for a couple of days and I'm definitely going to enjoy it because I was thinking for a very long time that I would come to Coimbatore but you know after this lockdown or whatever I'm definitely going to come there so I'm sure I will enjoy it because as you said rivers, mountains and lot of nature I think it's going to be great so as you know I've been travelling all around the world and I've gained a lot of knowledge from a lot of people and I've been seeing everywhere around the country a lot of things happening but I think mostly I see there's been a lot of difference in the people on how they greet each other you know like a lot of importance has been giving to the physical appearance these days like for example on their appearance, on their wells or like for example once my cousin written back from abroad and then people instead of his friend, instead of asking how you were he's just like oh you became so fat I mean the physical appearance how do you deal with these things like nowadays it's become a lot more no no what is your weight is just as good a question as how are you how about what is your wealth what are you worth financially well you're in Hyderabad that doesn't happen everywhere but Hyderabad which car are you using like a lot of things not one or two yes see the thing is we went towards market economy market economy is fine because other financial arrangements that we tried to do in the world didn't really succeed for whatever reasons so this has been a reasonably successful model though it leads to a lot of exploitation of environment and also people in many ways but this has been the only financial successful financial model on the planet but we did not understand market should be in the marketplace right now our minds have become a marketplace everything is a transaction so you are in Hyderabad I mean I'm sure you are well about that but for most people if a girl or a boy has to get married first thing is how much wealth do they have that is what they are checking up how much are they worth and they will get their properties evaluated before they get married so it's very very unfortunate that's come because market has entered our mind market should be a successful market market should be successful if all of us have to live well our minds and hearts need not become a transaction transactions are for our external well-being we have to do transactions and we must do it well of course but everything in our life need not be a transaction unfortunately right now every human relationship has become a transaction whatever you do it is all about what will I get what will you get so the entire spiritual movement in the process here is what a spiritual movement or what a spiritual process means is you first get rid of one question in your head whatever you are doing one question what about me you eliminate this one question ninety percent of your spiritual work is done the remaining part is very easy you you never think in terms of what about me in your playing a game you don't think of the medal or the cup or the fame and all you want to do is you want to do this well that's all there is no what about you you just want to play well if everybody gets that everybody gets that in every aspect of their life that what you are doing you do to your best there is nothing more there is no greater joy than the world allowing you to do what you love to do what should you get out of it you don't have to get get anything out of it you're doing what you care to do and the world is allowing you to do it that's the best that can happen in human life I agree to that I think definitely I if I have I mean I'm sure sir I just wanted to ask you that you know like for one question you have like ten answers and very different and I don't know how spontaneous you are you just like very quick and you know a lot of people are very shy you know they hesitate to say sometimes and they're very shy they just keep it to themselves so how do you overcome shyness? Shai I'm not a young girl like you no I mean I mean a lot of people I'm not asking you Sam just saying that you're very spontaneous and people out there hesitate to you know say a few times they're shy I mean initially before when I was very young I was very shy so how do you overcome not do you but how do people overcome is what I meant so see people this is what I said people making their own thought and emotion a big impediment see human beings are the only creatures on this planet who are referred to as beings isn't it we don't say an elephant being ant being tiger being no only human is a being this means we're supposed to know how to be how to be means right now you're here you're supposed to know how to be it doesn't matter what I say it doesn't matter what you say I should know how to be if you knew how to be would you be blissful or miserable huh of course of course the choice is that so whatever the external situation is whether you're winning losing you're a champion you're not a champion you're rich you're poor if you knew how to be you would be blissful isn't it because human experience is generated within so if you're blissful your body will function at its best your brains will function at its best and this is all you can do in your life that your body your brain everything within you is functioning at its best from this depending upon the times in which we exist as I said earlier if you were here a thousand years ago maybe you will be a Kakatiya warrior I don't know did the Kakatiya woman fight huh I think they did so now 21st century no sword so you're welding a racket so this racket sword is a consequence of times that we exist in but the important thing is are you doing your best when can you do your best how can you do your best when you're miserable is it possible so you can call it being shy you can say I am tense or I am agitated or I am anxious I am this I am that these are all different words essentially what this means is your intelligence turns against you for some reason when your intelligence turns against you no gods in the world are going to help you that's for sure it is very important everything that you got if it functions for you in spite of that there are challenges in the world isn't it you're a sports person there are crucial moments when you know even if you play to your best something doesn't work hello any number of times isn't it even if you think you're doing your best well either the other person is better than you or something is not working something doesn't happen the way you want because the more you take yourself to a peak the more you notice it that the difference between success and failure is such a thin line people think successful people come from one set of stars and failures come from another set of stars no between success and failure the line is so thin it's a silk thread one moment you fall this way one moment you fall that way for this when there is this is the nature of life you must know how to be you know how to be means just this what is it that makes a person shy or confident or whatever confident means you're stupid shy means you're lost because confidence means what where there is no clarity you're trying to build confidence you don't need confidence nor do you have to be shy because what is needed is clarity if you see everything the way it is absolutely then you don't need confidence you will do it to the best of your capabilities that's all will I do something as good as you maybe not but I will do it to the best of my capability and that's the most important thing so this whole problem is just this two very significant faculties that human beings have is we have a very vivid sense of memory it is because of this in our lives learning is more important than just going up big in the body if we were just elephants or bulls or buffaloes or whatever growing full in the body was the only important thing we also have to grow but in our life learning has become more important why because we have such a significant sense of memory our lives are rich compared to any other creature because of this vivid sense of memory now this vivid sense of memory translates into a very fantastic sense of imagination naturally if you didn't have memory you wouldn't have imagination either right now these are the two things these two fantastic faculties are the two things that human beings are suffering what are they suffering what happened ten years ago they are still suffering what may happen day after tomorrow they are already suffering they are not suffering life they are suffering memory and imagination isn't it so this is why it is very very important that you take charge of your faculties why when everybody is talking about God and this and that I am talking about religion to responsibility talking about engineering yourself into the highest possibility because this is the whole thing that most human beings are an impediment by themselves forget about external challenges they themselves are a challenge I am shy I am confident I am angry I am miserable I am resentful means you are a challenge by yourself you don't need any outside help to be miserable most people are in self help they don't need any outside help you just leave them in one see right now this lockdown time just being at home they are suffering all kinds of things I was in conversation with some police officers some IPS officers and they are saying the domestic violence has gone up in a big way in Chennai domestic violence has gone up in a big way what is this nonsense all these days you are crying that you know you don't get enough time with your family too much work this that now when you have time with your family you are beating each other yes sir I think you are right well there comes the decision obviously when you said that you know between winning and losing there is just this thing lying sometimes you might play brilliantly you just lose and the opponent might play extraordinary do you believe in superstition sir do you believe in luck I believe in I I always make sure I am lucky okay okay you should also make sure for your sake for the country's sake and for all our sake we are all your fans so you must make sure you are lucky don't wait to be lucky I will teach you how to move the stars a little bit yeah please sir I will ask them to send you a link of in engineering online please do that it's seven powerful sessions you do that you will understand how to move the stars yes thank you sir one last question you know a lot of people when they start this you know new project or when they want to start their new work they think that okay this is a good day or even if you didn't start your work on Tuesdays or Saturdays are not good when is your Thursday like how do we know that you know people say that this day is not good we have to start this particular thing on particular day so what do you have to say about it see these are all people who do good things once in a way if you are doing it every day then every day is a good day see most I take it as every day is a good day no no whole lot of people are successful by chance not by their own competence just by chance because their father was influential they're successful because they had a bag of money they're successful because of something else they're successful if you were successful because of your competence you wouldn't look at all this because you're successful by chance there is so much fear about failure all the time so if you you're a good player okay you lost a match so what the hell next match you will win alright but if you you're winning only because of the influence of course it will create a big paranoia within you I'm saying within any human being this is what they're doing instead of enhancing themselves they are looking at the stars I want to inform them all those who are looking at the stars many of the stars that we actually see in the night actually does not exist you know that Sindhu yeah no sir I don't know they died long time ago because it takes many many many light years for the light to come the light is still coming but the star doesn't exist so a star that does not exist is deciding your future all the best for such people you just see the shuttle don't look at the stars no stars only the shuttle yes I am lucky I have to say I am lucky I was just thinking when you said shuttle I just three days ago I did a painting for a feather of a feather just a single feather I'll send a picture to you yes please please do send thank you wonderful we look forward to having you here please come with your family if you if you come for like five mornings if you're here for about three to four hours every day if you're willing to spend spending in your system which will be hugely beneficial for you some simple practices which can make a lot of difference in how you function definitely sir I will I will come with my family and stay there and once again thank you so much for giving me an opportunity to talk to you thank you so much tell your elders say hello to them they watch your videos they really like so when I told them that I am talking they were like so excited and they just looking forward for it thank you thank you
