 Photosynthesis is the most basic phenomena. Just sit on the soil, your body will become so alive and agile. In two years' time, you will be six to eight years younger. Sathguruji, it is wonderful. Would it not be possible to take this across the country? Across the world. It's a very complex marketplace there. The large street is beneath your feet. Why am I sticking my life out? People should think. Because if you don't do it now, we will regret it so deeply. See, here we are. This is a small part of our arachnid, coconut and farm essentially. It's in Tamil, it's called totam. So along with that, we are now growing some pepper. Pepper is a very high yielding and high income kind of crop. We are bringing these two various farmers. This is more like a demo farm. If you just look around, people who have seen like European and American farms will think, what is this farming? Why have you not cleaned it? There is no nothing dirty out here. Everything here is life. Whether it's a new leaf or a dry leaf. Above all, what's on the ground, all the life, which people normally call as weeds. This is a tremendous amount of food for these trees. Nothing needs to be thrown out because everything that grows has life in it and it supports and sustains other life. You just have to manage it a little bit to ensure what needs to come out of this. And above all, on the ground, the most important thing is the ground is not exposed to sun. Photosynthesis must happen. Photosynthesis is the most basic phenomena which is responsible for all life on this planet. Essentially, photosynthesis means you are synthesizing the power of the sunlight. So, this is a phenomena that is constantly generating this. It's capturing carbon from the atmosphere, making it to carbon sugars, passing it down. And from the soil, it is taking out all the other nutrients and letting out oxygen into the thing. This whole process, what the phenomena of photosynthesis is based is fundamentally responsible for the oxygen levels in the atmosphere today. At that time, they say a few billion, a billion years ago or something, the oxygen level was less than two percent. Today it's around twenty-one percent. Two percent means you and me. No, we cannot. We cannot, okay? Only fish could live, probably. But we cannot exist. So, this... today we are breathing oxygen here or anywhere only because of this fundamental phenomena called photosynthesis. And this is one important thing that we need to learn about soil is on every kind of soil, as much as possible, there must be maximum amount of photosynthesis happening. That means everything in the natural cycle is going well. So, Sadhguruji, I'll put it in simple language. Like, are you saying, so photosynthesis happens from leaves? So, you're saying increase greenery. Is it as simple as that? As much as possible, the land should be covered. Covered with what? Will you build a concrete building? The only way you can cover it is with leaf, isn't it? Yes. So, you're saying grass, you're saying leaves, you're saying plants. Anything. Anything, grass, bushes, herbs, trees, no matter what. But it must be covered. And that's true if you're just simply again speaking because I keep trying to simplify it for people like me who understand it, say visually when you're driving somewhere and you see barren land, how dry, how almost sandy it looks, how harsh it looks. But you have something like this covered with trees and greenery and the whole pleasantness is something else. So, very simply you can see the contra. If you simply sit here with your eyes closed, you will see. You sit here for one or two hours and just sit on the soil, meditate or simply sit. Yes, really. You will see that you will become, your body will become so alive and agile. If you do this every day, I will take a challenge that every day if you sit like this, let's say for two years. In two years' time, you will be six to eight years younger than what you are today. Satguruji, I remember you said in one of your conversations that to heal yourself, go and sit in your garden every day. Just sit on the ground, on the grass. Garden is, because they don't have anything else, I'm saying garden. Yes. Garden is a manicured garden usually, but it must be life like this, full of life. Oh, you mean... So, if you are not able to sit like this, there may be small insects and you just throw a cloth. You know, something that's enough natural material, either cotton or silk or wool and you throw it there and you just sit on that. Not on a rubber mat. Ah, yes, because the energy is blocked with synthetic materials, but natural materials breathe, I would say. And certainly this is also what I... In conventional terms, people would look at this and they think this form is not well kept. Right, because they'll say, oh, the leaves are here and... So, no, the choice is this. There are two ways of managing the world. There are two ways of managing yourself also. Either you can be like a manicured garden or you can be like a forest. If you have a manicured garden, three months, if you don't attend to it, it will be ruined. Yes. A forest has been here for million years and there. They are like a forest, so no management. Self-management. I would say now just three months, a few days you don't water your plants, they're gone. They're so dependent on that feeding. So, this is the difference. You've taken out all the life and you're trying to make one kind of life survive all by itself. That's not how life is made. Life is made in such a way all these lives are connected, including ours. The more you remove yourself from that, the more distant you become from the life process, the more life problems you have, variety of problems. Are you saying, so is it something like that industrial farming, those pictures that we see of perfect farms looking just... They're not perfect farms. I mean... Just that they got perfect lines. Lines. Yes. So, is that what you're saying that you're moving away from natural farming where... Just the way people are living is one thing is farming, another thing is the way we live. All right? So, how far away from the land are you? How have we built our cities? Is there any concern for having life around you? No. Do you think you can... You can exist in vacuum of life? No. The more you're connected with life, all kinds of life forms, the more alive they become. So, what is a substitute people have found today? Because they removed from all other life, suddenly they have fallen in love with dogs. All right? Because at least that one life keeps them little agile and okay. Right now in California, I was there in Los Angeles, just outside of Los Angeles. I saw an advertisement in the thing saying that they have cows. You can go and hug the cow. It costs whatever, some fifty dollars per hour. You can hug the cow. Hug that. Yes. Yeah, you're just... Yes, it's... Oops. Yeah. That's how desperate it is to connect with life. So, if you just sit in a place like this, your body becomes so alive and agile. You know, when you... I mean, I experience it very often when I move, come from, say, Mumbai city and have this travel to any path in the countryside. And when you just get off your car and you just look around, it's like as though you just heave the sigh of relief from inside. Look at this. Cool of life. These seeds have been thrown so that these are very nitrogenous kind of plants. So they've been thrown, they just grow and they multiply and they keep growing, keeping the soil very, very rich. And moist inside. Yes, of course. And moist... You talked about moisture. Yes. Just look at this. Yes, yes, yes, yes. And there's no rain happening these days. It's just, it's so moist. It's so... My goodness. Yep. That's how soil should be. Yeah. The soil in the world is capable of holding eight times. That is eight hundred percent more water than all the rivers in the world together. That's where water should be in the soil. But unfortunately, we've stored it in our tanks. That's a big mistake or in our dams. Oh, what? To be done. I mean one is Kaveri calling. Where you said... See Kaveri calling is happening wonderfully well. As you know, one hundred and twenty-five thousand farmers have converted to tree-based agriculture like this. Yes. See, it's not that you did not know, the previous generation knew. Yes. But everybody who is educated is telling them to do something different. So they started doing... Now they've realized that land is becoming absolutely useless after some time. So now when we go and tell them, see there is a science like this, there is... it is not. Something that we're just telling you, here is the result and here are the farmers who have already benefited. Now it is going on beautifully and the government also has supported as well. Now Karnataka government saw the kind of development that's happening in these nine districts of Kaveri Basin. Now they sent a letter of appreciation and also invited us to do all the thirty-one districts in Karnataka. We've said yes and we will start from next year. I'm going to make a pause here because I have to say this. Just recently, like yesterday, met some of the farmers who have adopted. And it's so interesting to hear from them that at the beginning they also hesitated. They resisted. They thought these volunteers are coming from nowhere trying to tell us what to do and it's not going to work and they didn't think it would. But today in a few years, they've seen a dramatic change in their yield, in the quality, in their prosperity of the land. And I was amazed to hear how the land and the trees that you grow on it can actually be like your bank. More than a bank, huh? More, like instant cash, in a way. Bank is subject to inflationary problems. But here it's solid. Not like that. It was like, like one little story was of the girl whose farm we went to, a young girl who's been late twenty. She was trying to help her father because she's the only daughter. And she said all my life, growing up, I'm seeing that we're growing. They have a 10 acre farm. But they're growing bananas and turmeric and maybe something else. But she said I was always insecure that suppose whether changes, something happens, there's a crisis, there's need for money. How will I manage? This is not going to sustain me. She said when the volunteers came and told her that, you know, you can plant trees, certain kinds, go within, within your fields of the present crop. And then in the beginning, she said I was like, no, I don't think I want to try it. I don't want to take any risks. I have enough problems already. But then she did eventually listen because the Isha volunteers were so persuasive and kind enough supported them. And then when we went to her farm yesterday, Sadguruji, it is wonderful. It is wonderful. And she said, you know, if I ever need money, like she has grown 1200 trees on her 10 acre farm, which is more trees than I have on my little farm. And twice I have a bigger farm. But look at that. Just the intelligence with which they did it and how they've done it. And she said if there's ever need for money, I simply, a few of them, I have to cut maybe a mahogany, teak, something which are timber trees and they are very valuable. And sure I am secure. If you plant trees, still growing crops. If you plant trees smartly. Yes, smartly. I'm just saying, let's say per acre or per hectare what you plant, you're still cropping it. After 12 to 15 years time, if you cut a few trees... Yeah, a few trees. I'll tell you, if you've cut a few trees, you will get more money than actually selling the land. Oh, definitely. You'll get that much money and you still keep the land. Let's say this, this land is worth one crock. You will get much more than that and you still have the land. Yes. That is the beauty of it. Most farmers who get into loans are ending up selling the land. They never have to sell the land. If they just sell the trees, it will happen. Of course, there are people who have never done anything in their life. You know, there are some perfect people in the country who never made any mistake because they have never done anything. So those people will say, oh, how can you cut the trees? Sadhguru is cutting the trees. Hey, it's a poor farmer's land. Yeah, yeah. If he plants something, he must be able to benefit from that. Otherwise, how can you even ask him to plant trees? Because of the silly ways you live, how can you ask a poor farmer to plant trees to save the planet? Hmm, yes. No. We are only... No, it benefits. This is an economic plan. Yes. But has significant ecological impact. That is what is significant about how we are calling it. Fortunately, now the central government has made 13 detailed project reports for thirteen rivers in the country. These thirteen rivers cover sixty-seven percent of India's land. Wow. Okay? If they do this successfully... This is how I was going to put it. It is a done thing. India is above the crest. This is what I wanted to say. I was coming to that, but my story became so long. But there was so many such stories which were like this. They are, you know, on trees, they put pepper, they've interspersed their crop with trees and fruits and... And they're yielded, their income has actually grown twofold, threefold. And I was just wondering that, you know, would it, would it not be possible to take this across the country? Across the world. Across the world, but first let's start with us. No, when I say as I mean the world. Okay, you are, you are Sadhguruji and I'm only me who will say it's here and... No, it has to happen here, no question because here sixty-five percent of the population is in farming. Yes. If it doesn't happen here, one of the first countries other than the African nations, one of the first countries in India which will suffer seriously if soil crisis really comes is India because our population and land proportion is so unhealthy. Yes, we are a land of farmers first. That is there but average land holding is just about a hectare which is 2.25 acres per family or person. That is a dangerous proposition. In the United States it would be 2,000 acres probably. Yes, they have land like that. But this really enriches this this whole movement in the way it's been thought through, so very calling. I mean one was I was supporting it and I will continue now even more. It was first just numbers on our screen for me because it was like, okay so many trees are going, they're being planted but actually seeing it on the ground and meeting those farmers was so... This is something we must convey. People are thinking, if you say planting trees, they are thinking we are doing afforestation. Afforestation, if there is land, yes it's good to do it. But there is really no extra land in the country. There is some degraded lands which could be planted. But first of all, see right now we've taken up a Namanandhi project. Namanandhi means our Nandi. There's a Nandi hill in near Bangalore where we are setting up a yoga center. So we've taken up this project. Here the forest department is offering us probably around Bangalore they're offering about three, two, seven thousand acres I think. Some of the Bangalore corporate, big corporates are coming out to help us with that. So there we are fencing the land, putting up a watchman and doing afforestation. Right. But there are problems. The villages are protesting. Okay? So we are talking to them how alternately we can do, because they are herding their cattle there. So if forest department fences it off then they don't have that land for the cattle. So we are seeing how to manage this, planting half of it and doing this and also planting grasses and other things for that. They don't have to graze the whole land, half the land is putting up for them. Once the trees grow, they can also graze heroes. Right, right. Because otherwise when they're small, the cattle come and eat up the... So I'm saying for everything there is a solution. If we have the necessary long-term commitment, that's all it takes. Unfortunately, most of the things that are happening are a one-day event. Some club will come and do it, some political leaders' birthday, they will plant this many lakhs of trees one day. Yes, yes, yes, but you have to be with it for a while, see it grow, nurture it. I'm also part of the Trillion Tree Campaign in the world, launched by the World Economic Forum. So I'm part of it, I've... Personally, I've told them, see if you are willing to give me the financial support and the political connections in every country, taking Africa and Asia together, I will personally take responsibility for hundred billion trees, billion. If money is there and politically you facilitate a few things, I will have it done. We know how to do it, I'm saying. Only restriction, only stifling aspect for us being a, you know, a non-profit organization is money. Financially, only what we have we can do. So the idea of Cauvery calling it to set up a large enough sample so that nobody can say it has not worked. All right? This has worked. So UNCCD feels that this is the top project right now in the tropical world. Wonderful. So they are our partners now in safe soil movement. UNCCD's official partner. And also WFP, the World Food Programme also is with us. Now UNEP is with us, all UN agencies joining because of the success of Cauvery calling on the ground. It's not just talk, it's taken a whole lot of work. Yes. The amount of resources the Foundation has put in and the number of young people who are working on it. Yes. It was a joy to meet the Nadi Veerans yesterday. Young, young people, professionals who just given up everything and... Oh, didn't you do anything? I mean they... They got back their life. They were just trapped in some educational institution or some institution. No institution means either prison or asylum usually. Yeah. Yeah. I think on the, you know, from the outside the commercial world they say, oh, you know, these kids, they would have been in some career. Their colleagues have gone somewhere else. These kids give it all away. Put it aside. No, no, I'm coming to it. I'm coming to it. Wait. So... And when I met them and like I was like, yeah, so you've been here for two, three, four years, five years and they said this is the most beautiful thing we've done, the most fulfilling thing we've done with our lives. And what have they given up? Or they got their life back? Yeah. This is, in fact, for all of them it looked like this is, this is like outside now things seem shallow because... No, I don't want to make any judgments like that. All I'm saying is this is one of the most needed things that needs to happen on the planet right now is to turn the soil around. Why I'm saying this is... On an average, the estimates say on an average per year about twenty-seven thousand species of microbes, algae, other aspects, you know, fungi, algae, everything is going extinct, extinct. Yes, you cannot revive that like that. So if you allow this to happen for another thirty to forty years, then you want to turn back the soil, it would take hundred and fifty to two hundred years. And what do we do now? That's like human populations will go like, you know, they'll go for a toss, half the population may go with that. But today if we start the process, you know, the fifteen to twenty-five years, we can make a significant turnaround. But as I understand it from you, it's got to be done on a very large scale. See, you don't think about the scale. Small. No, no, no. You should not think about the scale. What is needed is a policy change. See now, for example in Karnataka government, we brought about this policy change, sustained efforts. In the time that we did in seven and a half years, three governments changed. So every time you have to restart the whole thing. So in spite of that, we went on and fortunately the previous government sanctioned this and now this government is continuing. So quickly, a farmer is getting a hundred and twenty-five rupees subsidy for the tree based on the growth. Over four years. It's not just given. So year on year the growth has to be recorded. So it's geo-ported and recorded. So because the growth is recorded, we get the subsidy. If it doesn't record the growth, we won't get the subsidy. This is why I'm asking for a policy change. If there is no policy, I do something, you do something. Well, this is nice. The next generation may come and decide, you know, destroy the whole thing. Underneath there is granite, let us mine it. I know, I know, I know. I'm saying agricultural land needs policy. If you want to keep the soil alive for future generations. Because soil is a living entity, it's not material. Unfortunately, agricultural departments in India and almost everywhere in the world are talking about soil. It is like a chemical mix. Oh, it is nitrogen, phosphorus. This is that. That is another thing. It is life. If you keep it alive, you don't have to worry about nitrogen, phosphorus, nothing. All that is taken care of by them. It is not your intelligence which can do this. It is the complexity of all of them working together. See, for example, you know this, that even in our stomach, the food that we eat, we are not capable of digesting it by ourselves. Not with our brains and saying this, this enzyme, that enzyme, now manufacture this, no. So it is the gut bacteria which does that. Sixty percent of your body is actually bacteria. Only forty percent are your parents. Only forty percent is genetic material. Rest is all bacteria, right? Shear also it is the same thing. This plant cannot directly take nutrients from the soil completely. Do some extent it can. But the rest of it is all because of the bacteria from the eye or the eye, other things working full time. And they want carbon sugars which the plant is always capturing from the atmosphere. And this plant wants phosphorus, nitrogen, iron, copper, magnesium. So that they are providing. It's a very complex marketplace there. Suppose you take off all the leaf from this plant, all right? You take off all the leaf from a tree. Yes, yes, yes. And there is no photosynthesis. So now this tree or plant cannot give carbon sugars to them. They will stop your nourishment. Right, right. They will move on. They will move on. They will move on to another plant. So it is a hardcore marketplace. The Dalal street has been with your feet. And so it is for everything on... There's a circle of life as you see. Yeah, otherwise it is not sustainable. Anything that's a straight line is not sustainable. Only if it's a circular, it's sustainable. Right, right. And we seem to be breaking that circle everywhere now and again. But I don't know, maybe. I'll start about education and then Subguruji will fire me. So... But Subguruji, while you say soil... I'm talking about soil as a living mechanism. Right. And farmers may be familiar with this whole thing because they are on the land. City people like me, they will be like, what's that Guruji talking about? What's that? Because trees, you see trees, you understand and you, you know, you experience them, you sit in their shade, you breathe oxygen from them. But when you just say you are talking about soil, now be careful about how we're treating soil. How are they supposed to understand you? See, they don't have to treat the soil as their mode for the city. They don't have much connect with the soil, it's their misfortune. I'll leave it to them, that's their choice. But as a citizen in a democratic condition, the most important aspect of your life for the well-being of all around you is your vote and your voice. When voting time comes, you don't vote. When you have to speak, you don't speak. Everywhere else you speak. Now all I'm saying is, every citizen in the world for 100 days, not for the last of your life, for 100 days from 21st of March, I mean 2022, you speak soil. Use your social media, use your friends, use your phone. Anyway, unless you're on the phone at least, I'm saying for you also, from now on till June, July of this year, whatever message you write, because it's not with Namaskaran, not with love, this is safe soil, that's your love. Everybody, say safe soil for 100 days, this means the governments we're writing to all the political parties. Every political party in the world in 192 countries, our letters are going now personally being delivered to them, and also to all the heads of state. So totally over 700 plus letters are going around the world to all political parties and all governments, all right? Because we want soil ecology to become a part of political manifestos. When you make your election manifesto, one of the important aspects should be soil ecology. If people don't speak, why will the government do it? Because they represent the people. People just want trinkets, people are asking for little little things, government is throwing those things. If you commit to long-term well-being of this nation, particularly to soil, because that's the basis of life, we are with you. People should see this, isn't it? So city people, this is all you have to do? Everyone of you have a smart phone which is smarter than you? Yeah. Yes, it is. Yes. So use that smart phone and tell as many people as you can, this is our thing. We can't go and fix the soil. Let's move the policy. In a democratic country, only value is... only currency is numbers. Please, you are one. So say it, you don't understand, it doesn't matter because this is the nature of democracy. Whether you have a full brain, half brain, no brain, you still have one vote. Please use it. Okay, so I... So now, I was asking something else, but this is what you would... It's almost like a call to action where you say, okay, wherever you are, this is what you do. Yes, one hundred days. Everybody talk about soil. Yes, speak of it. Your Facebook, your Instagram, your TikTok or cookbook, whatever you got, speak about it. Every day reach out to somebody and say, see, this is an issue. Please do this and close all your messages, mails, everything with safe soil. There is no more sacred duty for you now than this. I'm telling you, forty percent less food will be produced by 2045. That's the thing happens. I hope we won't allow it to happen. But if it happens, I don't like to do dome state production. I'm a very positive kind of person, but very easily you could kill anywhere between 1.5 to 2 billion people by 2045. Forty percent less food. Twenty to go in, that's just twenty to three years. Forty percent less food means that's what will happen on the ground. And the suffering that happens to all the others who are living, that can never be estimated. See, we just forget, just in forties and fifties, we have had terrible famines in this country, isn't it? One Bengal famine took over three million people. We just forget, just because for fifty years we've eaten reasonably well. Even now, 820 million people go to bed without food in their stomach in the world. Farmer goes to his field without the necessary nutrition for him to go and do that work. A woman becomes pregnant and bears a child without the necessary nutrition to produce a new life. This is what we're doing. 820 will easily multiply into a couple of billion in no time. They're expecting that to happen within eight to ten years. And you're saying this is because of the deteriorating... They do one thing. You look at the Google images of Africa today. Look at it ten years ago. Just see how much advancement of desertification has happened. Sir, Guruji... Because you're from Africa, I'm saying... Yes. No, you're right because we were flying over Uganda and truly, if you look for forest land, there's a lot of farmland, but forest land, tree cover, was... was... you could see it only in little pockets and this is Africa, heart of Africa, where the land is so fertile. See the... the 60s, 70s images of the Tarzan movies of Africa gone largely. Yes. Now largely it's brown Africa. So, I... But... But it can be fixed. That's the important thing. It can be fixed. Yes. Do we have the courage and commitment to do it or not? It's the only question as a generation of people. This is a responsibility and it's also a great privilege that you could actually affect such a change in this generation. Yes. The next generation which is here cannot do that. We can do it but it's still within those limits. So, will we use this as a privilege or will we shirk our responsibilities and be a way-in generation which did not do what it was supposed to do? Okay. So, one call to action is... Only one call. Only one call? Only one call. Okay. That's simple, straight. Just do it. That's right. If the policy changes happen, necessary incentives come, farmer will do that. You don't go and try to do that. Okay. Because in India, 84% of India's geography is right now farmland. Right. So, this is 84%. If you change, you don't have to worry about it. Like I said, based on Kaveri calling, now they made 13 detailed project reports. If you do this, India is above the crest. In the next 15 years, if you implement this completely, then you don't have to worry in India. Yes. You can see from what I saw yesterday on the farms, that the dramatic change... Yes. And this is true. I mean, look at this. The possibility is... is immense and... See now, for every... for every acre, which is covered in green, for 12 months in the year, if government say, hints of saying, I'll give you free money if you work for me. If you say, if you keep one acre of land throughout the year, with whatever you want. Okay? With whatever you want. Let's say, we'll give you two thousand rupees. If I have ten acres, I'll get twenty thousand rupees. You will see, every farmer will turn it green. That's all it takes. Why he's shipping it to a brown in summer, he... he doesn't want to spend on the groundnut seed or maize or something else, just to throw it to keep the land good. He thinks, because somebody has told him, you don't have to do all this, just buy an extra bag of fertilizers, he'll work. This is just like saying, see, being Indians, in the food, we add a little bit of salt for the food that we eat. And if that is not enough, we serve a little pickle on the side so that we manage the taste, you know. People don't know, when I see, when people, western people are there, we serve pickle, they don't know what to do, they just eat it up. They don't know how to use it to enhance the taste of what you're eating at that moment. Right, right, okay. So that is what fertilizers should be. Just a little touch here or there. Yes. Where it's needed, you use it, some land is deficient in something, little bit. But now you think, you can make a diet out of salt and pickle, just that only you eat for three days, see what will happen to you. That's all that's happening to the land. That's a nice, simple way to understand it. That's a nice, simple way. Yes. That's fertilizer. We just use that minimum, it's like vitamins. Yes. You can't be living on vitamins. You have them to just assist you in case there's a deficiency somewhere. Because nobody can eat absolutely ideal food. We eat this and that here and there. So just to take care of certain basic things they're taking care of, maybe one pill you take. Now no, they're taking a handful of pills, fifty, sixty pills per day. I met somebody who is in his 50s but he's super fit. He exercises and runs and cycles and does various things, very, very fit, like an athlete. But every day 60 pills per meal, eats the best, healthiest food. But still, because people have been promoting this. And at the end of the day, even those pills, they are chemicals. So somewhere they will create an imbalance inside or side effects. No, this talk my staff about chemicals. Because even the soil at one level is organisms. Another level, the trading is all of chemicals, okay, organic chemicals, but chemicals. But if you ask me, all chemicals are organic because you have not brought anything from the moon or Mars. Everything is from the soil you've taken. So it's organic. It is just the... But the balance. Yes, that's what I'm saying. We go out of balance. If you take this leaf and eat it, it has everything in it. Your body will take what it wants. Sometime something may not be sufficient. But now if you take that much of one particular mineral, that overdose, what all problems it will cause, you do not know. Yes. See, if something micronutrient is missing in your diet, for one day, it doesn't cause any damage. If it is absent for long periods of time, it causes damage. But the excess causes a different kind of damage. And it also affects the soil because human excreta and urine has become a big problem in United States and big cities. It's full of chemicals. Our bloodstream is full of chemicals. That's what I'm saying. It is going into the soil. Sir Guruji, you are going to be driving on a motorbike. Riding, riding. Riding on a motorbike 30,000 kilometers. What do you think also, man? Through some 25 countries to create awareness and to meet heads of states and, you know, bring this... We have organized the people on the social media and everything. We are planning to touch 3 to 3.5 billion people, which is 60% of the world's electorate. When we... When 60% of the world's electorate speaks, no political party or no government will ignore it. Numbers are important in our democracy. So you want this to be a global movement? It is a global movement. It is a global movement. Yes. Because you can't attend to just soil and think everything is fine. It doesn't work like that. Life is so very different. It's an arduous journey. I mean, 30,000 kilometers is not a... is many days, many nights through difficult terrain. Yes. And you're doing it alone. I mean, if... It's a lone motorcycle, but... the time that you have chosen is such that it's still winter in Europe. In northern part of Europe, it's still snowing in icy roads. So that's even more slippery dangerous off-road. And then... And then we go into Arabia, but temperatures are at least 36 to 48 degrees in May. We're driving through the desert. Well, and then we enter India in June, months and time. So I'll be so... So I'll have all the extremes of weather going with me. How did you think of this? What made you think of this? See, I want people to understand. See, for example, my life is such. I have done enough work. People are here to do everything now by themselves. We have set up large centers in the United States. We have a very large center. Literally, we're building a spiritual city. A few, you know, a few thousand square miles. What? Yes. A few thousand square miles. A few square miles. We're building a whole spiritual city and we have a center here, there. See, it's beautiful. I can just live nicely. All right? All my life I've worked twenty, twenty-one hours a day. I can just rest at sixty-five. I'm taking this trip for people to understand why am I sticking my life out? People should think. Because if you don't do it now we will regret it so deeply. Regret is not going to change the world. Action is going to change the world. Oh, okay. I know once all the action was talk, save for it. Is there any other way we can help you? Well, we are not doing any mass, you know, fundraising or anything like that because how are we calling you still in action? That needs mass fundraising. But this needs fund if there are corporates and others who would like to brand themselves with this safe soil movement or, you know, people high net worth individuals want to brand themselves or they want to donate to this. We are only contacting them. We are not making a large scale appeal for funds. Because the fund, the rally route, everything, we are a small group of eight to ten people. We have funded the whole thing ourselves We put our personal money into this to run the rally but to get the message to 3.5 billion people, we need help. The entire rally is being run because of just eight to nine people. We all contributed from our money. I just wish you great, great success and not for you you're doing it for us. You're doing it for all of us. It's... A life? Just for life? Life means every life? Actually that's true, not just for people living in... Human beings have forgotten that they are a consequence of the life that is throbbing in the soil right now. Not the other way around. Not because of us, they are there. Because of them, we are here. Even in the evolutionary scale it's only because of their activity we are here. We cannot do without greenery. Greenery can very well manage without us. So... Let's make it happen. Save soil, let us make it happen. Yes.
