 We managed to get here today thanks to this daredevil helicopter pilots getting all of you here in this weather, in this kind of overcast skies, in this mountainous terrain they did it quite effortlessly but it's not easy. So thanks to them all of us are here in one group, we are already at nearly 11,400 feet. So from here on a little bit of care because once you get these altitude troubles they are not pleasant, we'll make sure you live but we can't prevent a headache. We don't travel all this way just to have a picnic. We come all this way because we want to bring behind something else. So this track is a good preparation before we go to Kailash, something of Kailash should stay with you. All of you found your tent? Tent has been a great adventure. I think I can't recollect the last time I slept in a tent which was long long ago and but it was really fun but simply I had the best sleep last night. The next few days we are here till you finish Kailash and go back to wherever you have to go back. You must just imbibe. Just bring it's a profound experience. Actually it's the first day so it's really good we just crossed Manang valley looking forward to how this keeps building on from here on. We stopped near some villages at the far end and he was giving out some biscuits and treats and just looking at his love for everyone just was just really nice and walking and the journey with him is being very good. Last bit was the steepest bit but it was fine. People, we all slowed down and we will see if more of that goes before. I don't know I have no expectations I'm just open I want to see what's going to happen I'm excited though. You know pilgrimage is not really a journey it is an inward journey. Uninward journey is a farcical term because there is no distance. The distance is just this that instead of looking this way you made a hundred and eighty degree turn inward that's all the journey there's no place to walk there isn't any distance it's an imagined distance that's all. So if you turn around it's right there but to make that simple turn around people take lifetimes like the best out of it and come. It's a good fit guy but every year I wonder like how can I walk all this I can't able to walk in treadmill for more than thirty minutes but you know like here in mountain it just happens it's not me it's because of my master. Is it your emotion or your thought or the life that you are which is most valuable right now difference between what you are on what you have gathered things that you gathered from outside which never was you never will be you but right now you believe it is you if you want to walk up the mountain the lighter your baggage is the better isn't it. Walk light because air is thin I hope the Nepal cell doesn't work but I have worked to do. I've been scared of heights but in this entire trek and especially with those in those precarious situations where you know we were crossing those landslide prone areas it's a straight downhill slide into the river I didn't feel scared one bit. Because you did not want to climb we got you some really nice downslope. It was quite steep slippery dangerous but we we were one by one the Sherpas were there Satru's Grace everything we went one by one slowly and made it. We are in the mountains that means we are about four thousand meters closer to heaven whether you are right now feeling it or not it's not just about the oxygen it's suppression when physiology loses its grip on you this is a good time this is a good time to become conscious consciousness means that which is devoid of memory body means it is made because of memory mind totally memory if you take away your memory you lost your mind isn't it so in whichever way possible for you you try to keep whatever that connects you to your memory just keep it aside for a few days into the third day of trekking to Lake Dili Choka obviously Satguru did warn us that it was going to be quite a steep trek from the base camp we are going almost 950 meters the shy of a kilometer and it's a straight trek up so obviously your thighs and they're being used quite a bit and you get short breathed when we passed about 4,500 meters I could feel that you know your breath is slowing down and the weight feels much more heavier there were moments when I would stop to catch my breath and I would look around and I would think it's so beautiful once we got to Lake Dili Choka it's a very beautiful lake very pristine very untouched and you obviously have the Mount Dili Choco which is nearly 7,000 meters at the background so it's a very pristine sight to be at at one point you break yourself and some thoughts that are running in your mind they stop coming like you know you're totally with your body and the surrounding there's nothing else you're not thinking about anything else you're just focused on one thing because so physical intensive but so beautiful because you can also you're one pointed in that sense I would say that was my experience though if you take charge of your physical body 15 to 20% of your life and destiny will be in your hands if you take charge of your mind 50 to 60% of your life and destiny will be in your hands if you take charge of the very life energies within you 100% of your life and destiny will be in your hands the question is only how much have you taken charge the soil that you walk upon and the delicate flower that you see are not different just that life blossoms that's all so if life blossoms truly within you 100% of your life is in your hands but if grace blossoms within you you yourself become God you are not looking up to anything else because grace is blossomed within you you have become that what you are aspiring for it is an experience of a lifetime I never experienced something like this it's difficult to articulate you know if anything I could have asked for in this life I've got it and I think this journey pretty much describes that it's not worthwhile trying a helicopter this way see all my stories are in my turban but I don't have it today so it's been four days but I haven't even had I mean I haven't thought about the fact that I haven't had a bath I don't miss it that much what time is dinner this is the largest plateau on the planet we are about three and a half hours away from Manasarovar make sure you drink a lot of water as we go towards 14,000 feet normally altitude problems only happen beyond 1500 once even a mile head it picks up then we'll have to roll you back to the military hospital which is close by or further down the altitude so please make sure you're healthy and well Manasarovar is not just another body of water so don't get to the water okay it's not a beach it looks like that but I want you to experience it in a certain way we will touch the water we will get in contact with the water in a specific way right from here if you can start it's fine but the last one hour at least I want all of you in a check okay you're on the tune Siva Shambho Siva Shambho Siva Shambho Siva Shambho Siva Shambho so Siva Shambho I'll be with you let's see the most beautiful place I have ever been to I've traveled a lot I've never been to a place as serene and magical and captivating as this place every hour the color is changing sometimes with purple sometimes green sometimes with blue so it's yeah it's very mesmerizing when I was much younger something like Manasarovar would have been a irritant in my life because I could not leave anything unfigured out in my life but now I've sort of come to terms some things you don't figure and that's about it many things in the world are referred to as mysteries that is in the context of whatever you cannot understand these mysteries to you every understanding is a misunderstanding because life can never be understood it can be lived it can be experienced you can reverberate with it you now ever will understand it understanding means you have found a meaning is essentially a psychological requirement existentially there is no meaning anywhere what is the meaning of these pebbles what is the meaning of the lake what is the meaning of the mountain what is the meaning of the vastness of the sky tell the ducks about the meaning that you found in Manasarovar they'll quack quack quack at least the next few days Manasarovar Kailash don't assume anything oh so wise God Mahadeva you don't know who the hell he is let's see the only thing that matters now is the life that you are is it full on or not that's all that's all you have to do tomorrow the lake will do that to you it's not something I experienced from day to day obviously it shocked me if I was frozen to the extreme in a way it's kind of awakening no I just went in and I went right deep in it felt so warm inside I was cold I know I was cold but it just felt warm I don't know how to explain that normally it takes me time to get overwhelmed too much but today in the morning when Satguru was there it was quite overwhelming I was probably I probably only cried in five times in my life and today was one of those days so yeah how my Guru touched me within how he made me feel nobody else has he showed me what I'm not that's why I'm here I'm here for one and one person only and I'm here just for Satguru it touches you somewhere very deep and I don't think you can ever remain the same after going through this experience I think that anyone who's been able to experience this is blessed and I would wish this for everyone I love blessed that I lived during a time when he was on this earth that's all I can say I'm so lucky in the yogic culture Shiva is seen as the source of mysticism what this means is that without him we wouldn't even have realized there are mysteries it's because of him that at least some pieces fell into our understanding or wonderment at least we could begin to wonder about it because otherwise it wouldn't even be there I see him as an invader because he invaded my life unasked I don't know what he will be to you whether he'll exist or not let's leave it just like that one must know that that Shiva has always been identified with dance and music dance first and then music so everything that occurs to us when I say everything that occurs to you there's only one thing that occurs to you which is sensation heat, pleasantness, unpleasantness, pleasure, pain all kinds of things if this sensation or this basis of all our experience has to become a profound possibility you must listen to the raga the tune set by the existence it's not our making it's not in our hands it's happening sensation is already given to us only thing we have to find is rhythm if you find the rhythm then every experience becomes a profound experience so when we say Shiva we say he's a dancer that means he found his rhythm because he's found his rhythm he's become the most profound being that you can think of so all you have to do in your life is to find that rhythm and tell him because tomorrow you're going to Kailash our age is for thousands of years people have seen and experienced the pathway that we walk has a very body of Shiva we have to work on somebody's body how we will walk that is the sensitivity with which you should walk and keep the mantra up in your breath with every breath, Shiva's Sambha he was much easier in terms of physically it was much easier after what Trilicho was because this was actually a flatter terrain and gradually you kept climbing up but Sadguru was so fired up that he just kept walking he didn't even take a water break to breathe but times I thought my lungs are going to explode I was like why is he not stopping I was like almost praying Sadguru please stop for a water break at least so the first time we stopped at the west face of Kailash I was not very clear it was hazy the moon was hazy but I could see Kailash I could see the moon and it was one of the most gorgeous sights I think it will remain in my mind forever I've seen a lot of beautiful full moons I'm a big moon watcher but this one was really special to ask me what happened I wouldn't know because I just know I've just completely broke down a certain sense of power and at the same time a sense of responsibility it's my village into every single one of us it doesn't matter who we are every city he's whole life and I just completely surrendered because I I found my Guru in him it was just like a moment I just looked at him and it happened Kailash should not become just one more feather in your cap like I went to Kashi I went on an African safari I went to Vegas by myself and I went to Kailash with Sadguru this is not one more addition if you are willing this can become the basis of your existence only then you benefit otherwise one more badge badges get heavy and sink you let's celebrate all my life I've nurtured my intellect put so much importance in my intellect and my logic but then you came into my life and you've broken that and I discover something that's beyond intellect thank you so much for this opportunity for me time doesn't decide the quality of relationships but we've been together nearly three weeks if not transformation I hope at least seeds of transformation it's been wonderful being with all of you
