We would like to share a short video with you, highlighting some of the events and happenings of this past year. You must remember, you must remember, always you must remain wanted to go. Okay, always. Doesn't matter who does what, you must stay wonderful, okay? Okay. Just that it's bloody brief, if you don't light it up, it's gone. On a journey of soil, it feels like it is yet another thing that we add to our list, it's over. This is not one more thing Trevor, I've taken this up because as a generation of people, if we don't do this now, we will regret this, seriously. How old are you? I'm 65 now. 65? In a sec, you are a little bit crazy. I didn't know this. Sadguru, a mystic and visionary based in India and over the course of hundred days, he will be traveling from Europe to India to raise awareness on soil. Soil is the largest living system, not on the planet. In the known universe, there isn't anything like that. But we've been treating it like it's some kind of a material that we can use and discard. This is about moving people on the planet. World leaders, influences, artists, experts, spiritual leaders and NGOs are among those who have pledged their support to the initiative. By 2040, very clearly every responsible scientist is saying we will be producing 40% less food and our populations will be well over 9 billion. That's not a world you want to leave your children in. It's a message of urgency. It's also a message of hope. I'd really like to thank the Sadguru for his leadership. Because it is life. It is our food. My dear brother Sadguru, safe soil is truly inspiring. Safe soil. I request all of you to come together and join the conscious planet movement. Most important thing is we as a generation of people keep the soil alive for future generations. This is for him and his generation. Will you make it happen? It's come a long way that like they're on the left. Sadguru has saved the soil, foundation, brilliant stuff. That's the sort of passion that we want. How arduous this journey has been even for me just for the 20 minutes. The tradition of India is that those who travel and come, touch and get half of what you get. Sadguru has done a great job of travelling. Spiritualist techniques have gained him a following of millions across the world. The most positive energy person in the world today, I promise ya. Like I got energised all the way from Australia. If you are conscious that you are on a very limited lease of time, naturally you will organise yourself to do things that you really care for. And if all of us are doing what genuinely matters to us, there's really no problem in this world. Just one word, any love. Right now human potential and genius is super wasted, just trying to earn a living. Even people ask me, Sadguru, what do you do for a living? I said, what do I do? I breathe. I breathe and make sure my heart beats and everything else and that's how I do for a living. You look like a surgeon. How do you do that? What is the secret? Little yoga, sir, we can teach you. Whole human life is largely dedicated to the compulsions of the body and compulsions of the mind, isn't it? You are supposed to be above it. The whole science of yoga is striving to make your mind like a plain mirror. No wonkinness anywhere. How do you describe yourself? Because people see you in different roles. I don't waste my time defining myself in any particular way. I'm not defined or structured in myself. This is the whole purpose of spiritual process that you can live here without any description or definition of who you are. When you say there is a definition, you are fixed. You have become a concrete block. I've interviewed so many people over the past two decades and I've never got an introduction like that. This was awesome. Give it up, our very special guest today, Sa Guru. People are using relationships to squeeze joy out of the other person. Oh, bars. Come on, bring it, bring it. If you were joyful by your own nature, you would naturally have wonderful relationships with anybody you meet. That was Guru talk. That's Sa Guru. Sa Guru. Give it up for selection. Showing something that doesn't exist. This is the camera, is it? You can feel it right there. You look great on those. Look at that. That's what we're talking about. I'm not a real estate person. My real estate is in the minds and hearts of people. But we have realized that without physical infrastructure, it won't work. So here, we're building a small center in LA. We're building an old spiritual city. It's twenty-two thousand acres now, this whole place. In India, it's a small city. This whole place. In India, in Bangalore, we're building another facility. The Naga is sitting here. He's a Kretrapala. He's also the future protector of the Kretra. We are building a whole system that it will become a spiritual possibility in its entirety. But all of you ready to do some work? Yes. Yes. Oh, I thought she's so wonderful, but she worked, she did what she did. I'm going to that. The important thing is what we are doing is it's significant enough. If you're very clear about that, just do it. It doesn't matter who says what, who does what. What will happen here? You probably put yourself. What's your plan? I'll let you be one-up so that you don't suddenly say you have something important to do and get away at night. So you're going to turn it up on the back? Of course. It's a pleasure to meet you virtually. In this room, the most complex and sophisticated technology is human system. Yes. This is. Have you read the user's manual? Where is it at? It's built into the machine. Oh, how do I get it? You need to pay attention. You're reading inner engineering. If you want to do what truly matters to you, it's extremely important that you see my life is my karma. It's my making. Right now, if I'm making a fool of myself, it's me. So the purpose of the book is to restore the word karma to its transformational potential. To share, I wanted to just share gratitude and your teachings has been a blessing to us as individuals. To be joyful, to be loving, to be blissful is not the goal of your life. It is a necessary ambience within you for your body and your brains to function at their best. It's not about what you do. Whatever you do, you must do it well. Eat well, play well, study well, study well, learn well, learn well. If you do all this, you will sleep well. Okay then. Because of terrible things happening around the world, especially concerning young women, it's important that you stand up smart and strong so that future generations live well. Hello? No entanglement, all right? Freedom is the way. Entanglement doesn't happen in life, it happens here. If you undo this, outside we can create what we want. Like it happened. One big moment is the farmers producer organization moment. So what FPO means is the power of scale will come to them. In the next year, we want to make this into twenty-five thousand farmers. We need young people to stand up and make this happen. At this stage of empowerment with science and technology, the most important thing that needs to be done is raising of human consciousness. This is why yoga is needed. Yoga does not mean twisting and turning. Yoga means turning inward, touching that intelligence within you which is beyond your psychological and physiological process. This needs to happen to maximum number of people. Never before such large groups of people have gone into samyama or three thousand people if they can immerse themselves into an urge to go beyond all those things that people in the world are willing to die for and kill for. This means there is hope for humanity. How are you my friend? All of us, we've been changing because of you and that's amazing. Thank you, thanks for being here. Hey, humanity is empowered today. If we are not inclusive we are heading for a serious disaster. If you get too logical in your head life will get constipated. You need little madness in your heart for that no better fuel than Shiva to set your heart on fire. How profoundly and how exuberantly you lived, that's all there is with life. You have not been doing that. Today is the day to get ignited to really rev it up to its fullest possibility. If something more needs to happen you must have the sense to step into a new terrain every moment. I just flew in from Las Vegas this morning like a 5 a.m. flight. What a place to come from. I discovered you through save soil when you pop up on my timeline somehow you always inspire me. Most watch yogi on YouTube 2.5 billion views in the last year alone. Yesterday need not be bad to make today good, isn't it? If you take your hands off your psychological process and simply sit here you will get blessed out. I've been working on this just help me to improve my percentage. People are thinking I've already done too much for what I can do in terms of transmission not even two percent of what I have have I transmitted. So we are going to focus on individual people more and more. If we do this right in the next decade we can definitely create a more conscious planet. I feel like there's something in the air around the room when he's there it's just pleasant and it smells better and you feel better. I've never given this much attention to anyone like even my teacher but every word that Sadhguru says somehow just makes things. Here we are at the FIFA World Cup Final said in Argentina and France. I think Messi handled that situation of his age gracefully he's not thinking I should score he's just giving the necessary passes and making the difference. It's a smart man and I think it paid off for him. It was great chatting to you, Sadhguru. Such a big cue for the bathroom, huh? Kalaati tava janan maala na janati tava samapanam drushtu maha ka kaal ka kashvara kaal ka Can't you hear it? Tell him, can't you hear it? Can I speak? Can you speak? You can stop. Why do you have to talk so much Who is it? Didn't you say anyone is asking? Go to him and do something. I think probably many of them have not spoken enough and the last few hours before the year's quota is over they want to finish it. I spoke to him. Can you hear it? Is there a speaker? Who is it? Sir? Can you talk a little? Time Time is a strange thing. It is the only thing that you have actually. It's the only thing that you have. But you can neither give it, not take it. It does not work as an instrument of transaction. Whatever you do you can only lose time. You sleep, you lose time, you work, you lose time, you're awake, you lose time, you're unconscious, you lose time. All that happens no matter what you're doing with your life is you're losing time. You can neither fast forward it nor can you rewind it nor can you slow it down. It just goes on according to its own accord I'm concerned about you. You can do illusory markings with New Year's days and birthday's saying this is one year, one year is gone by. But this year and the next year doesn't taste or feel any better or worse than the other. The body, in body, you're a creature of time. As a being, a timeless presence. If you do not delve deep enough and find the taste of timelessness, the taste of timeless being, you shall forever be a loser because the only thing that you have is time and you're losing it all the time. So don't be a loser. As you can only lose time, you're only possession. Forever you're a loser. No, no, it's not all that bad because you're not here forever. Your ordeal shall be soon over. You know, is audio okay? Hello? My monitor is not good, I can't feel it. If you go with time, you can only be a loser because that's the only commodity you have and you keep losing it all the time. Tasteless, senseless, ruthless cycles of time like a grinding mill just goes on and on. The juice of life is stored in many owing steps or installments a bit in the body, little bit of juice in the body, a bit more in the mind, much more in our emotions. But the fruit of life, in your being, this magical being, not accessible to a logical fool, this is the whole problem. How to live without logic, Sadhguru? Well, logic is the foundation of your life. If you don't have a stable, strong foundation, well, you know what are the problems one has, but it's the foundation. If you live in the foundation of your house, these days they call it a basement, but generally it's a dungeon. You're below the ground, I mean to say. You never taste the sweetness of fresh breath, the warmth of sunlight, the spring blossom, the grandeur of sunrises or sunsets, you will only know dank survival process. Who cares, Sadhguru, about sunrises and sunsets? Tell us if there is Wi-Fi. That also will not be very… speed will not be good, but even underground Wi-Fi can work. So I'm saying essentially, if you become a slave of time, you become slave of transactional world. Transactional world means you start believing. You're giving and taking many things. Transactional world means you believe you're acquiring something, you're losing something. No. The only possession you have is time and you're losing it all the time. Unless you touch the timeless dimension of your being, anyway a loser, there is nothing to gain. There is really nothing to gain. You know, you know what happened when Shankaran Pillai was drowning? No. What? I've told you before, which lake shall we drown him in? Because Coimbatore lakes are all very shallow, you can't drown. So, it once happened, the largest lake in India is the Chilka Lake. So, Shankaran Pillai once went boating and the boating, the boat turned over and he started drowning. Then he screamed for help. And then, having been a man who had stored up a lot of money and wealth in his life, he shouted, whoever, whoever saves my life, I'll give you one crore rupees. So anyway, there were some fishermen who quickly came and pulled him out and they brought him to the shore. And then people said, you said one crore rupees. If you give one crore rupees, our families will live well. There's so many of us here. He said, I want crore rupees to really save my life, but I was not dead. I was only halfway. So, 50 lakhs I will give you. Hello? Fair deal, isn't it? He was not drowned yet. He was only drowning. So, like this negotiations are going on with life, that you are exchanging life for something else. Maybe money, maybe wealth, maybe fame, maybe name, maybe sweetness of pleasure or relationships or this or that, essentially you're exchanging life for something else. Because life is not in the time. Life is in the timelessness of our existence. Time is just a cycle going round and round. You have some sense of time because the clocks makes its circles. You have some sense of time because the planet spins. You have some sense of time because the moon goes around the planet. Some sense of time right now today because the planet went around the sun. I want you to just imagine, suppose planet started going around the sun at half the speed, then two years would become one year. If it started going double the speed, six months would become one year in your experience. So, these are all mechanizations that you fixed in your mind. It doesn't exist anywhere. That there is something like that. It is just a certain fixture in your mind which is culturally reinforced in so many different ways. So, Sadhguru, what are you trying to tell us? We should not celebrate new year. You should celebrate every damn thing. Hello? Today that's why we are celebrating the old year. Hello? Hello? But actually, you sit up till midnight. Here, of course, you'll be conscious. Many people will be reasonably unconscious by the time midnight comes. But if they remain conscious and really feel it, old year and new year, no difference. Hello? Taste it and see, lick it and see. Snot it and see, no difference. So, it's okay. You just need an excuse to celebrate. I appreciate that. I don't need an excuse. People think they need an excuse to celebrate. I don't need an excuse. I'm... Hello? Those who need an excuse, many of them who are for health reasons and for whatever other reasons, they're not drinking through the year, but last day of the year they drink because they want to celebrate. I'm drunk all the time. I know somebody is going to cut this piece and put it on the social media and say, Sadhguru, confess that he is drinking all the time. Yes, I'm saying that. I'm drunk all the time. I don't say I'm drinking, I'm drunk because... because I'm a pot of drink myself. More than that, actually. In today's world, you can say I'm a drug. I'm not taking drugs. I am a drug. See, many of the... many of these are all addicted. And they're also acting funny. Because, you know, big drug behind me, but it's a little late end, this is puttent. So, you need to understand, celebration happens to you not because of a certain event because you burst forth in exuberance. When this life becomes exuberant, everything is celebratory. Old year, new year, no year. All are celebratory. Hello? If this one is exuberant, why does this damn thing get exuberant once a year? No, no, I'm not trying to say you've never been happy or joyful or wonderful through this year, but most people can count. They don't have enough fingers to exhaust. Oh, I was... you know, in the month of June, I got married and I was so happy. After that, 31st of December, we were happy. So they can count. If you can count your joys, you are a bloody no-good life. Yes. If you can count your miseries in your life, and if you don't exhaust the ten fingers, that's a good thing. Because you have trained your mind to continuously generate a lie after a lie after a lie. Does somebody have my live poem on the phone? So lies and lies and lies full of lies all the time telling yourself all kinds of things which are not true. How to stop it? This happened. A little boy... Shall I make it a boy or a girl? Who lies more, boys? No, you don't know that. We'll keep a boy because it's safe, you know? So a little boy was sleeping in his bed and in the night, around 11.30-12 in the night, started raining and Bhamal Demil thunder. So you got a little scared and ran to his parents' room. And went and hugged his father and he said, Boppa, why is it all this happening? So... See, you know, parents don't want to miss a single chance of trying to teach some moral nonsense to the children endlessly. So he said, every time somebody tells a lie, God makes the sounds. Boom, boom, boom. But the boy thought and said, Boppa, everybody's sleeping in the night. Who's telling lies now? He thought about it and said, well, this is the time when they print the newspapers. So lies and lies and lies, printed word, television word, and you yourself carrying on these lies, endless lies. If you want to understand how many lies you're telling to yourself and everybody around you, just shut your mouth for one year. 2023. Don't say anything. You will just see almost everything that you've been speaking has been a lie. So every time I was sitting in Samyama and you know, those three thousand and odd people were all silent. Then I realized nobody's telling a lie at least for eight days. So I just wrote this little poem sitting on the Samyama dice. It's called a lie. I don't tell lies not because I want to be truthful. I don't tell lies not because I want to be truthful. I have tried but failed as I also know the truth about the lie. I have tried but failed as I also know the truth about the lie. I did not give up lies in favor of truth. I did not give up lies in favor of truth. Sure inability that clarity breeds within. Sure inability that clarity breeds within. A lie is that which does not exist and hence not worth an investment. A lie is that which does not exist and hence not worth an investment. So essentially what is happening in the form of thought what is happening in the form of emotion, your ideas, opinions, philosophies that you're generating it keeps you busy. If something that does not exist keeps you busy all that's happening is you're just losing time. I'm reminding you again the only possession that you have is the only thing you possess time and it doesn't matter what nonsensical dramas you create going away, going away. Well most people think they're immortal unfortunately through their life they think they're forever. Only when something dangerous happens sickness happens, injury happens or body starts creaking then a little reminder but still they think they're immortal. They always think death that happens to somebody else, hello? Now, Sadhguru, this is a day to celebrate why are you talking all this? Okay, I'll give you extra time. This happened. Shankaran Pillai had a certain ailment so he went to a doctor. Doctor told him you have only a maximum of three years to live. Shankaran Pillai came and told his friends doctor has given me only three years what do I do? I have only three years to live. Then they said why don't you go and get a second opinion? So he went to another doctor and then he thought why just second, third, fourth he went to three, four doctors then he came back really very exuberant and happy he said what happened? Did the other doctor tell you something different you have more years? No, no I went to four different doctors all of them gave me three years each so now I have twelve years what's the problem? That goes on like this if you become too transactional transactions are needed in the world we have to do it we can do it to the extent it is needed for ourselves or for the community or for the nation or whatever you're working for but they have no relevance to your existence in this creation today what are you thinking what are you feeling what are you transacting today has no meaning it doesn't leave any imprint anywhere how you are is your being throbbing has your being been unveiled is it veiled with transactions or has it been unveiled if your being has been unveiled then it has an impact on creation otherwise you can wear what you want you can look as pretty or handsome as you want you can say the smartest thing in the world only within your social nonsense it makes some difference I am not saying that is not at all relevant it is relevant to that extent only but you are a person and a social component not first first you are a life you are a being after that we have these roles to play if you misunderstand the role that you play as myself you know we've been telling you about there was a Bhima you know the story this guy has not even been to Inner Engineering what do I do with him he wants to know everything so he is saying no, no to everything this happened there was a frog hello there was a frog which was worried about 2023 many of you looking into the fortune and these twelve what zodiac signs some of your many many astrologers are busy towards the end of the year because people are consulting what to look forward to in 2023 so frog also got an appointment with an astrologer so the frog went and said 2023 what can I expect the astrologer looked at all the kundali and everything the cycles of the kundali are little different for a frog so then he said you will meet a a very beautiful girl who will want to know everything about you he is that so what should I do for this to happen what should I do should I go on the dating app should I go sit in a local bar should I do this should I do that where will I meet this beautiful girl the astrologer looked further into the kundali and said in a biology class she will want to know everything about you everything inside out so 2023 what is coming for us you are asking me then I have something to say but if you are asking the stars you must understand this the making of this body though the basic ingredient of genetics came from your parentage the material came from the food that you eat the building happened because of the life that you are because of the being that you are how it got built depends on how you are now whether it's a physiological problem or a psychological problem or an emotional problem if you manage to unveil your being then your body your mind your emotion and your transactions in the world will largely go where you want it to go this will go hundred percent in the world not be hundred percent because in other people we got to make some way for them also so it will happen largely that way but if you do not unveil your being you just try to do with your body with your mind and looking at the stars you may still be successful in transactions successful simply means somebody else around you is doing badly that is the only success you have and no matter what success you have you still live in anxiety successful people are not blissed out blissed out people are anyway successful hello because success or what you consider as success right from kindergarten is always about other people's failures somebody should be less than you only then you're successful isn't it so it is fine transactions you would like to win I understand it's fine but that does not decide or determine the nature of your existence here the time that you have whether it becomes like a spring blossom or it's a torture is not determined by those things this happened at one time Shankaran Pillai was qualified as a psychiatrist you want to go where is that guy no hey if you have some madness in you best to go to a madman because he has experience you always try to take advice from people who have experience isn't it so anyway he was running his own office psychiatry so he's assistant the lady who was doing the reception work and everything she decided to quit then people asked why what's the problem it's a successful business why are you not going why are you quitting said I had she said I had enough of this because if I come if I go 10 10 minutes late he says you're hostile psychiatrist if I go five minutes early he says you have an anxiety complex if I go bang on time he says you compulsive so I can't take this anymore this is how it is not somebody else has to do this you're doing this to yourself because you're trying to live without the core the surface is always tumultuous it can't be any other way you know you have heard even most destructive cyclones have a core which is still and fine this is what it is if you live on the surface it is unnecessarily turbulent simply going on with something something or the other will be going on so this is why on this new year's day or this new year's eve a lot of people at least in the urban centers or all over the world want to get drunk so that everything is still hello body also becomes still everything becomes still body becoming still is not a good thing that is for the last scene hello I said no body becoming still is the last scene it's not time for that now now body, mind should be dynamic but this dynamism tortures people so one way to settle it is drown the drown the past year in something like they will try tonight many people so what do we do Sadhguru? how do we celebrate new year? see is it true that this breath that is happening in these millions of breaths that you have taken the next one if it doesn't happen you're gone is that so? I'm glad that guy didn't of these millions of heartbeats that are going on if the next one doesn't happen are you gone? so the thing is just this if you do not know how to be exuberant and celebratory in your existence all celebrations are a desperate effort to drown something which you have to cover up either your anxiety or your you know your anxiety about something your fearfulness about something your anger and hatred about something your aggression about something to hide these things to drown these things you need to act like your celebratory celebration is not an act celebration is the way you are right now we are in winter which is a little low in nature preparation preparation for celebration when spring comes everything bursts forth that's celebration but it doesn't happen in one given moment and say we celebrated now it's just happening all the time life is a celebration celebration does not mean that we have to do this or that is your life bursting forth or is it is it like 1st January hangover hello is it like 1st January or at least it's like 31st December I appreciate the excitement of people wanting to go to the party but after they've been to the party next day if you meet them they are that's not good if you're like that next day also I would say get drunk 24 hours of the day like me get drunk all the time but you have not found such a drink anywhere this is what I'm talking about there is a drink that you don't have to drink because you are the drink life is the ultimate drug or drink life is the highest level of intoxication and awareness at the same time if you don't touch that then you do these measly constipated celebrations it's okay I don't want to kill this two night celebration whoever wants to do whatever it's fine with me but you must know it's a lie when you're telling a lie at least you must know it's a lie then you can deceive somebody but you yourself if you believe the lie you are the fool isn't it if I tell a lie to you I'm fooling you if I tell a lie and I believe it myself who is the fool so don't be that one I heard there are lots of backlog questions of 2022 let's finish this a little bit just a few of them let's not I think children are getting cold huh children are getting cold I'm talking about children please Namaskaram Sadhguru Namaskaram my name is Madhara I'm from Latvia and I'm also Sadhana Pada participant and as this is New Year's Eve back at home all my friends are celebrating New Year's party and they're making fun of me for sitting here in Darshan how should I respond to them thank you tell them in Latvia whatever the hell they do they can't get to the new era ahead of you you're two-and-a-half hours ahead of them or three hours ahead of them can they do that no so you got there first so who is the winner so of course who will not make fun of you when everybody is drinking and puking and dancing and having a big headache tomorrow morning you're sitting here depends how you're sitting here nobody would ask me that question because of how I sit here if you are ooh I'm a FOMO I'm missing out the party FOMO FOMO FOMO then of course they will make fun of you see it's very exuberant I think I thought what happened blue yeah see how exuberant ha ha ha ha so you tell your Latvian friends because the European economy is not doing great right now if they come here we will buy them a drink that lasts for the whole year not just for the whole year for the whole lifetime it will last they can mine their own drink this is crypto time come on you can mine your own money so you can mine your own drink so if you tell them there is a place here if you dig deep enough you will find as much drink as you want never is it going to get over whole of Latvia should be here it depends how you say it if you think FOMO FOMO they'll say hey come back what are you doing there if you show that you are they will all be here I will see I will be watching how many Latvian men and women will lend up here in the next six months that depends how you are today and what message you send them ha ha ha ha Namaskaram who Namaskaram Sadhguru I recently realized that I won't get enlightenment in this lifetime oh ha ha ha who told you anyway ha ha you got married or what ha ha ha ha ha but I find I can be joyful every day is it sufficient just to be joyful okay I think when they played the video something came out there where we were talking about how joy is not the goal of life but it is an ambience that is needed if something within you has to flower so don't worry about enlightenment that's what freaks hello you don't worry about enlightenment you just stay joyful every moment so if you're joyful every moment this becomes fertile see when you're joyful do you see you're not in your own way only when you're miserable you're anxious you're resentful you stand in your own way when you're joyful slowly you will see who you are doesn't matter once who you are does not matter I want you to listen to this properly young people once who you are doesn't matter to yourself then the inside will flower naturally now I don't know how you realized maybe your batteries went off or I most probably you got married and somebody put wisdom into you because a lot of young men will be strutting around with life there was a joke long time ago it doesn't work anymore but I will tell you anyway so a group of people are sitting and a lady says see whoever walks into the bar today I can tell you whether that man is married or unmarried or not married and one by one people coming in for 31st December event and she says this guy is married this guy is not married this guy is married this guy is not married she went on saying when everything was perfect on the dot when they found out they say how do you do this how do you know by looking at somebody so she said see when they're coming in because it's raining outside when they're coming in married men always come and you know wipe their shoes on the mat and come unmarried men just walk in I'm saying they're tamed they're disciplined so maybe they told you you cannot get enlightened don't have funny ideas because you not getting enlightened or the your knowledge self-knowledge of that I have no hope of enlightened is the security for the marriage to last long so it's okay whatever works is fine with me but if you keep this joyful she cannot do anything about it she'll try when she's anxious you must be anxious you can pretend you don't have to become anxious because it's anyway a lie anxiety is a lie hello you're making it up in your mind your misery is a lie your joy is also a lie at least let's make a pleasant lie which works it's all garbage but you would like to use that kind of garbage see these days garbage is being segregated suppose you want to put this garbage in your garden will you pick up the one with plastic stuff or glass stuff or paper or vegetable and other kind of waste you will naturally pick up what works as manure so joy is also garbage but it works as manure other things don't work so she need not know just remain joyful but if you're always he he he then she will take other steps so you must when her heart breaks your heart should break all these things you must do this happened in the first week of January Shankaran Pillai got arrested for having broken into a dress shop celebration going on it's okay then the judge looked at the case and said what you broke into the same dress shop four times wow what kind of fool would do that so Shankaran Pillai said judge first time I broke into the thing I took a dress for my wife but it was a bit large and she got really mad with me am I this big go get me a right size so six and time I went broke into the store and got a zero size it wouldn't go so she felt insulted you got me a you know a child size kind of dress and just to insult me then the third time I went and I got the right size but she didn't like the color so fourth time I went and I got caught please next question Namaskaram Sadhguru recently you have mentioned that the year of 2023 will be the year of consecration and you want to focus more on individuals so how in the coming year how can we make the most of us how can we do the most to be perceptive what you have to offer consecration as you know 15th of January we are consecrating the Yogeshwara Linga in Bangalore Bangaluru now now this is going to upset some people in Chikabalapura some of my clan will get upset Chinnabalapuramu because they wouldn't allow us to say Chikabalapura when we were children we had to say Chinnabalapuramu now it's Chikabalapura these are two different languages anyway the consecration is happening and there's one happening in Nepal in the month of March the Devi consecration is happening and Nepal is one of those few parts of the world where still the ancient consecrations have been not very well I would say but reasonably better maintained than most places at least most places in India except major temples, small consecrations everything we've destroyed because real estate value of the place Nepal has still managed this reasonably where as it was in ancient times every few steps if you take there is a consecrated space for every kind so that you cannot you cannot walk on the street it doesn't matter you're going for your business you're going for a wedding you're going for a party you cannot forget the divine constantly there is a reminder energetically there is a reminder and people look at these things and utter a few mantras and bow down this still alive in the country not fully but better than most places in India I would say except maybe some places like Kashi or somewhere where it is reasonably alive rest of the country had this all over but these days like you know we're during my grandfather's time when I went to my grandfather's place like the puja room in his house was our ancestral home puja room was let's say five times the size of this stage five or six times the size of this stage a few dozens of gods you know we're rich and a lot of space and so many things my mother had a room my father and mother had a full room for puja not that big because I lived in a bigger city it became small what was that big became probably one fifth of this size but I have a big shrine because this is my workshop that's different but otherwise in my brother's house it is a stand on the wall yes in most homes it's like that now it's a small little stand on the wall something but they're still lighting a lamp in the next generation that I know many people that lamp is gone some of them have a little bulb burning LED so that they can replace it once in ten years so if you're not lighting a lamp most probably you're not even looking in the direction because only when the bulb goes off which is once in eight or ten years these bulbs are made like that so it is receding like this in homes also it's receding in people's minds and hearts also it's receding in the world also it's receding well what is the purpose of these things the purpose of these things is just this you can build as great a machine as you want but if it's not lubricated the greatest machine in the world will get destroyed in no time even if it works it's destruction right now that is what is happening in the world people have in terms of material wealth this generation of people have more than any generation could ever imagine I'm sure many of you have twenty-five to fifty times more clothes than what your grandmother had yes or no or many more unless you're living in ashram where we give you only this much space to keep your clothes where only five or six will go that's different otherwise most people have I'm not trying to in any way comment about their clothing or their stuff but I'm saying we are doing materially better than any other generation ever but people are burning up because machine without lubrication so consecrations are about creating spaces of grace where there is a strong presence which will lubricate one's life you don't have to think that you know everything is managed by that no you still have to manage your life but you're well lubricated now things will flow easy at the end of your life or at the end of the day or at the end of the year you don't feel burnt out you're feeling fine because you're well lubricated this will become more and more necessary because human activity is pitching up like never before as it pitches up if there is no lubrication the problem is today it's manifesting in so many ways one thing is mental health as you know WHO or the World Health Organization is predicting a mental health pandemic what a pandemic means is you know probably you had never heard that word three years ago but now you know what is a pandemic what it means is if five people in this crowd has some problem within no time all of you will get it that's a pandemic so they are talking about a mental health pandemic where it will not be five ten people who will have the struggles it will be a global pandemic in some way few people may keep themselves free but others will get it even if ten percent of the population gets it it's a serious serious issue in the world and we are heading that way very very fast and if you do not know this in 2021 India has touched the highest number of suicides ever one hundred and thirty two thousand people commit suicide in the country over eighteen thousand six hundred of them are below eighteen years of age seven thousand two hundred of them are below fifteen years of age if twelve thirteen fourteen year old children who must be bursting with life if they are thinking of taking their own life obviously we are a generation running without necessary lubrication within ourselves hello so consecration is one important part it's too early to tell you but now you ask the question shall I tell you no where is that guy to save me I am planning something for 2024 how we construct this how we deliver this to the world we will see I am still looking at it in various aspects but 2023 at least three to five important consecrations will happen but that is that is in preparation that is in preparation to 2024 where we will launch a global moment called conscious planet because I want you to understand people think there are many problems in the world there are no many problems in the world there is only one problem in the world human being what other problem I am asking why is it human beings who are the peak of evolution highest level of intelligence on the planet flower of evolutionary process why have they become the problem friction within themselves is finding expression in thousand different problems in the world but if you had like that guy who got married and realized that he is not going to get enlightened at least if you are joyful if you are just joyful you are not much of a problem on the planet hello if you are very joyful today for some reason either because of pandemic or because of something else we said please don't do this party today tonight whatever you are planning if you are joyful alright I will do it another day but if you are miserable oh you will burn the town because how can you not do something that you already planned because this is the problem of human misery human misery does not stay within the human beings it spreads and I am telling you joy also will spread so these consecrations are very important because without certain amount of energy being generated people won't be who they are because you know I am planning a schedule for you for 2024 where you may have to work for 28 hours a day for that we need consecrations is that okay? I shouldn't have told you all this you may run away tomorrow morning so because I am planning a 28 hour schedule for you for 2024 we are consecrations are being done so that you are fired up with a different kind of fuel where 28 hours will not be a problem it is very needed and we will be as a part of this we will be training a few thousand people as ambassadors so to train people as a shangas it takes time and also it takes time from your end so we will be training many ambassadors where if you dedicate let's say five six hours in a month you can be an ambassador that you take this why this is important is if you don't create pockets of conduciveness you can't run a wave over it so to create these pockets of conduciveness and willingness in large populations we need people who are doing some simple practice at least Shambhavi Mahamudra they are doing every day and they are at least joyful though they have given up on enlightenment you must give up on enlightenment because those who are thinking they are doing this to get enlightened they will not get anywhere if you simply at ease and joyful well it will happen how can life be stopped because enlightenment is not something that you do it's just like life blossomed to its fullest that's all it's not your act it is what life does your business is to create a conducive atmosphere conducive atmosphere within you I will stick to the word joy there are other aspects but joy is good enough conducive atmosphere in the outside is consecration how many they'll allow us to make I don't know this is why we are consecrating Yantras and giving it to thousands of people so that it will spread individual well-being is one thing but we want to populate the world with consecrated stuff so that all over the world there is receptivity naturally as I've said long time ago that if I'm given the resources and support I would like to consecrate the planet but people are busy with their own things they you know they got their wars they got their you want to dominate somebody else all these pulls and pushes are going on so we don't expect they'll give us the planet to be consecrated but we are infiltrating and we are also opening this up on the Sadguru app one small step for a big day only 31st December should not be the big day every day is a big day so start your day with Sadguru some some simple things to do right now right now we have some I don't know the numbers exactly I think nearly 6 million people have downloaded the app if I'm correct somewhere around that much I think and in this year the video views have been 3.5 1 billion people reaching and over 30 languages 195 nations people are watching the content so conducive atmosphere is happening psychologically but that's not enough conducive atmosphere should come energetically this is why more and more consecrated objects we are trying to spread as much as possible so that when we really launch something big there is a natural receptivity everywhere and for the kind of empowerment that the humanity has right now if we do not create a more conscious more conscious is naturally more inclusive human beings on the planet well we will be thought a very big lesson we generally people are just hoping hope it doesn't happen in my generation let it happen to these children what is that hello what is that everybody knows big disasters are building up our hope is it doesn't happen in my life these little children let them get crushed are we that kind of people I'm asking hello are we that kind of people we want to make sure the future future generations don't go that way when people are predicting mental illness pandemic suicide pandemic what is actions we are taking oh you think just more economy more economy will do it economy is needed because people must eat well and live well that is needed but that's not a be all solution for everything that settles our physical needs economy settles only our physical needs it may be psychologically satisfying you only because somebody is doing worse than you hello without poor people rich people cannot enjoy their wealth you know I was I've been telling you this just before the safe soil movement I was in United States and there was this one young guy who's who's behaving like his tail is on fire I like that people on fire but I want everything on fire not just the tail you know then I asked hey what are you up to then he says Sadhguru I want to make one billion dollars one billion dollars I said that's all tomorrow you come I'll give you one billion dollars really Sadhguru you will give me one billion I said yes come tomorrow I'll give you a billion he had come with eight of his friends who were sitting quietly and I said see these eight guys I'll give them all ten billion dollars why Sadhguru ten billion for them only one billion for me just now you said you want one billion only in your life if they get ten billion you will suffer the one billion this is all it is so economy is like this these things let's do it to our capabilities our whatever our needs our need the need of the community need of the nation need of the world we work it for some extent but economy will only help us to attend to the body well mind is being attended because little bit of sickness that you have that other should be doing less than you because of that sickness you feel psychologically also it's doing something actually money and wealth and economic well-being should have nothing to do with your psychological well-being something to do with your physiological well-being because you eat the best food you not necessarily hello we have just seen wherever suddenly a burst of wealth happens in new new economies people eat the worst kind of food and get sick like crazy get drunk and you find them in the gutters yes it's happening I don't want to go into examples it's very close by out here so the important thing is we must understand as I said earlier little bit of sweetness in the body is there nothing wrong with that let's enjoy it little bit more in your mind a bit more in your emotional space but the fruit is in the being if you want to access that you need a conducive atmosphere within you but most human beings are not able to create that within themselves unless there is a conducive atmosphere around them so this is why many many things right through thousands of years wherever there is a spiritual process they created consecrated spaces sangha and so many things and see because you're here in the yoga center the Latvian girl whatever your name Latvia I'll call you for now okay so even Latvia is going to be happy here without a drink unlike her friends because you're in a certain atmosphere so this is important to create that atmosphere otherwise future generations will not grow into well-being they're inheriting all kinds of things what used to happen at thirty is already happening at fifteen twelve or thirteen year olds or on alcohol and drugs and stuff you saw what happened in Bengaluru they searched the school bags of young children below fifteen years of age they found all kinds of stuff that they should not find in a school going kids bags but that's what they found so I'm saying it is going this way because there is no joy why there is no joy is there is no conducive atmosphere within nor is there a supportive atmosphere around so creating consecrated spaces is in this direction but last time I saw all of you clapping for the save soil whatever motorcycle ride last time because I've been talking about save soil for thirty years and nobody woke up I had to almost kill myself to wake you up will you do that to me once again wake up huh I don't have to kill myself all over again I want you to understand we successfully completed but I could have died a hundred times in those hundred days yes there were so many risky situations because we are not just riding we did six hundred and ninety-one events on the way most of the events when I'm riding talking and doing media interviews and stuff don't clap your hands I'm talking about my problems so to wake you up in twenty-twenty-four do I have to again kill myself jump off an airplane without a parachute or something like that stay awake that's good I think it's dinner time he's a moon-rampirai customer just one more question let's finish this please Namaskaram Sadguru where are you sir? here okay I have trekked a valangri mountain a seventh hill it was beautiful but really tough why Shiva chooses hangout in that kind of a place it's really tough either valangri or kailash we brought him down to the foothills anyway Shiva has not chosen tough places valangiri mountain is not a tough place nor is kailash a tough place it is just that you have become so weak everything seems tough well in the nineties which is the time when we went up most number of times up the hills I would climb the seventh hill two seventh hill in about three and a quarter hours I can't do that today of course but I would go up and by afternoon three o'clock four o'clock we would be back spending time there even today if we send the samskriti children they will run up in three hours time and come back before two o'clock in the afternoon so it's not a tough place bad legs and lungs hello? because your legs and lungs are not good everything seems tough if your legs and lungs get really bad even a hospital bed looks very tough you need oxygen otherwise it won't breathe so it's very important one aspect of yoga is to remove the body as a problem body is not a problem if you do like this this like this this this it will all look nice cameras will like it but mountains won't like it if you have to be good on the mountains this must be in a certain way otherwise you must do shiva from here only it's okay because somebody was asking me Sadguru, I am in Europe I do guru puja every day but I don't have a beech leaf I don't have coconut can I offer this can I offer that can I put rails or rosemary can I do this can I do that see shiva doesn't care a damn about the beech leaf or the coconut if you're willing to put your heart into it he's okay otherwise you heap him with whatever nonsense you want he doesn't care a damn so if you can't climb up from here only you take your heart and throw it out if there's enough joy here it'll fly up to seventh hell yes and the rest of the body may catch up or not depends it's okay because don't calculate everything in terms of calories and money and this and that this happened Shankar and Pillai was a surgeon then he performed a surgery on our very rich Jewish lady, Mrs. Goldberg so his colleagues who had also examined her had a doubt they said why did you perform surgery on Mrs. Goldberg Shankar and Pillai said hundred thousand dollars no no what did she have he said hundred thousand dollars so don't make this aspect of life will not come with transactions it is not about what you offer offering is just a tool to open your heart okay Satguru then I will offer one rupee it's okay see the problem is your calculation the problem is not one rupee one rupee is not the problem one rupee is also not needed you just put your head down that's enough but you're giving one rupee because you think he's such a bloody fool that he doesn't like yes that he doesn't like if you go into the forest yesterday night the elephants were somewhere close by around 2 a.m. they were making some ruckus I've you know been in the southern Indian forest quite a bit at one time I was a part of the elephant senses that was being conducted by the Karnataka forest department then I realized that you can go quite close to them without being in danger if only you are little he looks at you like this if he sees little arrogance in you oh you can scream no but now he won't listen little if he sees the you you just hide like this then he's okay you show him that you're afraid of him he's okay you simply stand like this you're done so this is something that I observed and learned and then I saw all the tribals were like this the elephant looks they just stand like this elephant looks at them like this this is how they stand then he turns away and continues his grazing if somebody stands like this he comes so you can say she was attitude also is a little like that so it's not about what you offer what you do it is just that this dimension of life is available to you only if you keep your body aside your physiological and psychological process should become if not gone at least limited you must sit on the side then he will dance big time if you're occupying the whole space he's not interested and if you're too much overflowing with yourself then some crushing also will happen not by intent it happens what to do say this after me late a being appeared in the upper regions of Himalayas no one knew who he was where he came from the origins of this spectacular being were unknown when his ecstasy allowed him some movement he danced wildly when intensity peaked he became utterly still people saw that he was experiencing dimensions that no one had ever known or able to fathom his ecstasy and intensity allowed him to transcend his physical form witnessing an individual human in union with the cosmos they called him a yogi as he was the first one the Adiyogi when his stillness lasted for years on end curious onlookers melted away only seven seekers remained as they could not tear themselves away from him he transmitted the profound signs of yoga in its full depth and dimension he expounded 112 methods of attainment offering his disciples access to the deepest innards of creation in this magnificent state of yoga many mysteries of the created and the uncreated cascaded upon his unbridled wild hair it was a vision of the very core of the cosmos in all its profundity and magnificence a vision of the unfathomable mysteries of the universe a most overwhelming vision the sages and Devi Parvati had ever witnessed Devi Parvati seeing Adiyogi reveling in ecstatic states said, I want to have what you have show me the way Adiyogi absorbed her and made her a part of himself and hence he is the Ardhanari the ideal man where one half of him is woman seeing the splendor of this magnificent union Ghanas, his constant companions asked, what about us Adiyogi said just drink of me which drove them into intoxicated raptures seven sages the Saptarishis took the sacred signs of yoga in all its forms to human habitations across the planet which turned into crucibles of civilization this spectacular being is not of the past but the future of humanity to move humanity from hallucinations of ups and downs to nameless ecstasies of one's interiority 2023, let's light it up so to light up 2023 the last part of 2022 you must eat well, rest well and let's light up 2023 tomorrow okay? let's make it happen, thank you
