 Namaskaram, Sadhguru. The first question is from Lawanya. Sadhguru, two days ago you said that virus doesn't want to kill you and your body is their habitat. A few people who claim their intellectuals on Twitter are making fun of this statement out of context. Can you clarify, is this really true that virus doesn't want to cause death? Well, except human beings, no other creature wants to destroy its habitat. It's only human beings who are known to do that. So they also don't do it by intent. Unconsciously they do it. Similarly, virus also does it unconsciously. It wants to live in you, but it overdoes its act. And you and me might die. Well, I must tell you this, I was seventeen years of age, by then, you know, I had measles, I had typhoid and relapse, I had smallpox, I have proof on my nose, all kinds of things, anything and everything young children or boys can get. But through all this, I never really... it never really put me down, even when I had typhoid relapse. Running high temperature, I was still playing games and doing things, where the only advantage was you didn't have to go to school. So I liked these things, whatever they called it. I really liked it because you didn't have to go to school, you were officially bunking. But when I was seventeen, I got a cholera. But I saw this damn thing. Within two hours after I realized I have this, it just knocked me down cold. Well, I'm like almost unconscious. I hear my mother, my grandmother all crying, oh, we lost the boy, we lost the boy. And my grandmother is feeling my nose, my God, nose has gone cold, he's finished. Everybody's crying and my father is like, he's a doctor, he's trying to do whatever he can. Then two more doctors came and really I was just passing out completely, just within two hours. But by next day evening I sat up, the second day I got up and started moving out, they said, you cannot move out and they locked me up in the room. But I said, at least let me be on the terrace so that I can move around a little bit. Then they let me be on the terrace. Then this bothered me some. Till now many things I had, I enjoyed them because they prevented me from going to school. But here this damn whatever knocked me down in such a way that I almost died. So I wanted to know something. These are not the days of internet and Google, you can just ask. So I went into the school library and inquired with the librarian and she gave me a book on pathogens. I had not heard that word till then because I rarely went to the biology class. So I read through this book, it had various kinds of things and what they do and everything. Then it was bothering me, how is this some little thing that I can't even see can take me off like this. Then I came and had a conversation with my father. He was an accomplished doctor. And then he explained many things to me and I said, I don't like this damn thing, knock me off almost. What is this? Then he was telling me many things about what these things are that never left me. I even now remember every word that he said and what I read in that book also because this was an experiential challenge for me. It was a life threatening kind of stuff that happened to me. So I was not fearful but it was like being beaten in a hockey match or a cricket match, you know. That's a kind of feeling I have. So what are pathogens, whether it's bacteria or virus, there are many varieties of them. One thing is, right now for example corona, see it was living in the animals pretty well without killing any of them. Now it jumped onto the human being and it's still doing the same thing what it was doing in some other animal. But we are not able to withstand and we are collapsing. Well, that also has been clearly established now. Most human beings whose immune systems are good, they are recovering. But those who have a weaker immune system are unfortunately becoming victims of this. What does it say? It simply says that it wants to live but it lives so aggressively that we may die. Well, many scientists are talking about it but even what I read at that time, I was only seventeen. I wanted to remember this. Even then it was explained, I don't remember the author's name, otherwise I would have quoted this. Even then they clearly explained that most of the viruses and bacteria which enter us, who are within us right now, who are in many ways assisting our life process, not harming us, they were at one time could have been very harmful. But they understand if they live like that, they will destroy their own habitat. So they will mutate into something milder over a period of time and then learn to live with us. They were living with other animals comfortably. Other animals survived comfortably with them. They were also, this is the nature of life that one inside the other, one inside the other. So many life forms, trillions of life forms are all living enmeshed into each other. We are also that, trillions of bacteria and virus are living in this right now. But like for example, if you do a mantos test, Indians I'm saying, because right now in the last three, four weeks we are looking who is a foreigner, who is an Indian, and not because of any racial discrimination, we want to know where they came from. Did they come from Italy or China or where did they come from? See now Italy is ahead of China, very unfortunate situations. But these, like for example, if you do mantos test for Indians, almost all of us will fail mantos test. Mantos test is for tuberculosis bacteria. Almost all Indians will fail this test because all of us have substantial amount of tuberculosis bacteria in us, but we don't have tuberculosis as a disease. Well, so they came up with another name, they're calling it primary complex or whatever else that happens in children, but that shows some symptoms. All of us have this bacteria, we will fail the mantos test, but we have no symptoms of tuberculosis in us, because we have learnt to live with them, they have learnt to live with us. They know if they live too aggressively as we are living on this planet, right now they know they will lose their habitat, so they will mutate themselves to be milder life. So this is not some new rocket science, it's always been there, at least in the last hundred years it's been there. So, these people who claim to be intellectuals, well it looks like they didn't even go to their pre-university because I was in my pre-university at that time when I read this. It was part of our library, so it must have been probably in the textbook also, but I didn't read the textbook. Maybe these intellectuals did not even get to their pre-university. They think the qualification to be on Twitter is that they must have a bird brain. They think that's a qualification to tweet. Well, it's unfortunate, at a time like this, at a time like this when there is an imminent disaster waiting ahead of us, for the nation, for the world, to a point where countries are putting out their armed forces against their own people right now, you need to understand how serious that is. How serious is it that entire United States Army is out there to prevent their people from coming on the street? Indian police is out there on the streets, aggressively enforcing it. That's because they realize how serious a matter it is. But even at a time like this, these people cannot stand up and do something useful and positive for somebody around them. All they do is just this rubbish. They think they got a doctorate or they became doctors on the Twitter, avian doctors at least they should become. Well, it's very unfortunate, there is a segment of population which doesn't care what happens to people around them, which doesn't care what happens to the nation, it doesn't care what happens to the rest of the humanity. All they have is their own vitriol spilling poison all the time. Well, I hope at least the virus will cure them of this poison. Now these few days, these few days of being with themselves, I hope they stand up and do something useful. Please do something, whoever you are, I don't know who they are, whoever you are who is talking this rubbish, please do something useful. What is this problem? I know what is your problem. I don't want to address that now. Right now, there is an imminent disaster. If we do not handle this situation right, we are heading for a major disaster where millions of lives could just get wiped out. When the such a situation is there, all you can do is this. When I said this is not the time to go about criticizing our healthcare system or our health ministry, this is not the time. This is a time everybody stands up and does something, whatever little positive things we can do in our lives. Because this is not ordinary time. As a generation of people, we have never faced this kind of a situation. Let people understand this. We have never ever faced this kind of a situation. This is a bigger emergency than the wars you have had in your countries. This is a bigger emergency than anything that you have known. It can pass off without too much disaster if we behave responsibly and do the necessary positive action. This is what I request them also. It doesn't matter even if the size of their brain is that of a bird. Even birds can contribute, I'm saying.
