- 0:01Speaker 1: What is death?
- 0:04Speaker 2: Is it the end.
- 0:06Speaker 3: Or is it the beginning?
- 0:09Speaker 4: And what is life?
- 0:12Speaker 2: What is this thing we call life?
- 0:16Speaker 4: Indiscriminate? Only when your attention and involvement is indiscriminated does
- 0:23Speaker 4: the universe open up to you. Because life is happening
- 0:26Speaker 4: because of its openness. This is a fundamental difference between
- 0:30Speaker 4: death and life. Is people are thinking it's just breath
- 0:34Speaker 4: or right on one level, that is also openness. Whether
- 0:37Speaker 4: you allow this to happen or you don't allow it
- 0:39Speaker 4: to happen, whether you did it consciously or unconsciously, But
- 0:43Speaker 4: it's happening, isn't it. Openness is on every subatomic particle
- 0:47Speaker 4: is in communication with everything. That's why this is going on.
- 0:51Speaker 4: Breath is happening, So much is happening in connection with everything.
- 0:55Speaker 4: It is only in openness.
- 0:56Speaker 3: You're alive.
- 0:58Speaker 4: As you close doors, we are dying in installments.
- 1:04Speaker 3: For now, what you want to focus on is you're
- 1:06Speaker 3: hopelessly average, amazing. And now it's about recognizing that the
- 1:12Speaker 3: average human being is designed to learn and grow and
- 1:14Speaker 3: to get better. And so now it's a question of
- 1:17Speaker 3: how do we put enough time and energy into something
- 1:20Speaker 3: to actually get better at that thing? And that really
- 1:23Speaker 3: is the key that we want to focus on.
- 1:25Speaker 2: I think when you feel stuck or dissatisfied in your life,
- 1:30Speaker 2: it's a signal, and it's not a signal that your
- 1:32Speaker 2: life is broken. It's a signal that one of your
- 1:35Speaker 2: most basic needs are not being met, your need for exploration.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Everything about your life, about your body grows, your cells, regenerate,
- 1:44Speaker 2: your hair, your nails, everything grows for your entire life,
- 1:48Speaker 2: and your soul needs exploration and growth, and the only
- 1:53Speaker 2: way you'll get it is by forcing yourself to be uncomfortable.
- 1:58Speaker 1: What's the most important key success. I think it's hunger.
- 2:04Speaker 1: It's it's not getting satisfied. A hunger that doesn't go
- 2:08Speaker 1: a hunger to learn, a hunger to grow, a hunger
- 2:10Speaker 1: to serve, a hunger to give, a hunger to create breakthroughs.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Most people are hungry until they make a certain amount
- 2:16Speaker 1: of money and then they get comfortable. And there's nothing
- 2:18Speaker 1: wrong with that because but it's not about the money,
- 2:20Speaker 1: it's not about the business. It's about your growth, because
- 2:23Speaker 1: every one of us either grows or dies. People ask
- 2:25Speaker 1: me all the time does it take to be happy?
- 2:27Speaker 1: I say one word, progress, Progress equals happiness because achieving
- 2:31Speaker 1: a goal feels good for how long a week, a month,
- 2:34Speaker 1: three months, and then there needs to be something else.
- 2:36Speaker 1: And the reason for something else is because you got
- 2:38Speaker 1: to grow.
- 2:39Speaker 3: The only thing that I think people should fear is
- 2:41Speaker 3: standing still. So I've often said that running one thousand
- 2:44Speaker 3: miles an hour in the wrong direction is better than
- 2:46Speaker 3: standing still.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Stop waiting for something to move you, and move yourself
- 2:50Speaker 1: every day. Move yourself in the morning, move yourself. And
- 2:53Speaker 1: you have to move yourself and not give yourself. Be
- 2:55Speaker 1: very intentional and very deliberate about movie yourself.
- 3:03Speaker 5: Pleasantness is the choice, isn't it? So why is it
- 3:08Speaker 5: so much unpleasantness is happening in human experience because we
- 3:12Speaker 5: never took charge of the inner dimension. We believe you,
- 3:16Speaker 5: by fixing the outside, everything is going to be okay.
- 3:20Speaker 5: In the last one hundred, one hundred and fifty years,
- 3:22Speaker 5: with the advent of science and modern technology, we have
- 3:27Speaker 5: fixed too many things on the outside. If you fix anymore,
- 3:31Speaker 5: there won't be a planet left. Yes, definitely, this has
- 3:37Speaker 5: brought much convenience and comfort to our lives. In every way.
- 3:42Speaker 5: We are the most comfortable generation ever. You agree with me,
- 3:50Speaker 5: I know you have a series of complaints about how
- 3:52Speaker 5: things are not okay. But we are the most comfortable
- 3:54Speaker 5: generation ever before on this planet, isn't it so? But
- 3:58Speaker 5: we cannot say we are the more most joyful generation
- 4:01Speaker 5: on the planet. We are the most loving generation on
- 4:03Speaker 5: the planet. We are the most blissed out generation of
- 4:06Speaker 5: the planet. Definitely not. We are complaining like crazy about
- 4:11Speaker 5: everything like never before. This is because we fixed the
- 4:16Speaker 5: outside comfort and convenience has happen. Well, being has not happened.
- 4:23Speaker 5: If your interiority was handled by you consciously, you would
- 4:30Speaker 5: definitely keep this in a blissful state. So he's blissed
- 4:34Speaker 5: the goal of life. No bliss is a necessary condition
- 4:39Speaker 5: for life to flower to its full potential. Otherwise it
- 4:42Speaker 5: will remain constrained. How to address the larger issues of
- 4:50Speaker 5: my life.
- 4:53Speaker 6: There are no.
- 4:53Speaker 5: Large issues in your life. What is the large issue
- 4:56Speaker 5: that you're talking about? It is just about what job
- 4:59Speaker 5: to take, which girl to marry you, where to go
- 5:04Speaker 5: for a vacation, whether whether to get married or not
- 5:08Speaker 5: get married. You know these are things, isn't it. These
- 5:13Speaker 5: are not large issues. These are little things in your life?
- 5:18Speaker 1: Yes?
- 5:19Speaker 5: Or is it just a small thing? Ohm I get
- 5:21Speaker 5: married to? I'm not saying it's a small thing, but
- 5:24Speaker 5: as an issue, it's a small issue, a little issue
- 5:28Speaker 5: as a consequence to your life. Yes, it has many things,
- 5:32Speaker 5: but this is something that human beings have done for
- 5:36Speaker 5: millions of years. We havee enough experience on these things,
- 5:40Speaker 5: isn't it.
- 5:42Speaker 1: We know that.
- 5:45Speaker 5: Whatever job we take, whoever we marry, it is just
- 5:51Speaker 5: the way we make out of it. Every experience of life,
- 5:56Speaker 5: you can make it an enriching experience. Every experien in
- 6:00Speaker 5: your life, you can make a curse out of it. See,
- 6:04Speaker 5: there is nothing wrong in your job, but of a
- 6:08Speaker 5: job you're doing. There's nothing wrong getting this job. There's
- 6:11Speaker 5: nothing wrong in losing this job. There's nothing wrong in
- 6:15Speaker 5: getting married. There's nothing wrong in getting divorced. There's nothing
- 6:18Speaker 5: wrong in not getting married. There is nothing wrong in anything.
- 6:23Speaker 5: There's nothing wrong in this or that. But it is
- 6:26Speaker 5: just that you make misery out of it. That's wrong.
- 6:32Speaker 5: If you do this, you make misery out of it.
- 6:34Speaker 5: If you do that, you make misery out of it.
- 6:36Speaker 5: That's what is wrong with you. So you got married,
- 6:40Speaker 5: is it wrong? That's not the point. There's nothing wrong
- 6:44Speaker 5: with it. You did not get married, Is it wrong? No,
- 6:47Speaker 5: there's nothing wrong with it. That's wonderful too. You got divorced,
- 6:50Speaker 5: is it wrong? No, that's also wonderful. It is just
- 6:54Speaker 5: that you make misery out of everything. That's what is wrong.
- 6:58Speaker 5: You just address that one issue, everything will be settled.
- 7:05Speaker 6: The ego, of course, looks for liberation from its unsatisfying,
- 7:13Speaker 6: unsatisfactory state. It looks it. The ego knows this is
- 7:19Speaker 6: what this knows something is missing. But it always looks
- 7:24Speaker 6: in the wrong place. As we've already said, it looks there,
- 7:29Speaker 6: but never here. So it never goes deep into life,
- 7:34Speaker 6: into what is. It ignores the simple reality of the
- 7:39Speaker 6: present moment and looks in the next, towards the next
- 7:43Speaker 6: moment for satisfaction, for that which I can add that
- 7:50Speaker 6: will make me complete. Hence its obsession with future, with
- 7:57Speaker 6: the next moment. And everybody lives that way, almost everybody,
- 8:04Speaker 6: as if the next moment were more important than this moment.
- 8:10Speaker 6: And isn't that strange. It's a form of mental illness
- 8:13Speaker 6: because the next moment doesn't even exist except as a
- 8:21Speaker 6: thought in your head. That's the only absolute reality that
- 8:26Speaker 6: future has is it exists as a thought in your head,
- 8:31Speaker 6: and it is fine. As for practical purposes. It's a
- 8:36Speaker 6: helpful thought that there is such a thing as future,
- 8:39Speaker 6: because it enables you to make an appointment. So it's helpful.
- 8:45Speaker 6: We got here because of future, because of this thought
- 8:49Speaker 6: that there is such a thing as future, but there
- 8:52Speaker 6: isn't because nobody has ever seen it or touched it
- 8:56Speaker 6: or experienced it. And since nobody has ever seen touch
- 8:59Speaker 6: to experience it, we can assume that it doesn't exist.
- 9:03Speaker 6: And obviously it doesn't because when the future comes, it's
- 9:07Speaker 6: the now. The next norment comes that you wanted to
- 9:10Speaker 6: get to, and finally you get there and it turns
- 9:14Speaker 6: out it's the now again, and the ego runs away
- 9:24Speaker 6: from it, not realizing that what it has been looking
- 9:28Speaker 6: for is hiding here. No matter what form this now takes,
- 9:39Speaker 6: it is hiding where the conditioned mind, which is the ego,
- 9:44Speaker 6: has never really looked. It always made them now at
- 9:51Speaker 6: best into a means to an end. Okay, this now,
- 9:56Speaker 6: I need this now because it enables me to get
- 9:58Speaker 6: to that more important moment, which is the future. Okay,
- 10:03Speaker 6: a stepping stone best of times, or the ego had
- 10:08Speaker 6: to reduce the now to an obstacle and some people,
- 10:13Speaker 6: some people, that is their normal existence every day long,
- 10:20Speaker 6: every day long, whatever comes into the now, this is
- 10:24Speaker 6: an They look at it as an obstacle. Get out
- 10:32Speaker 6: of the way. I want to get there. Every person
- 10:35Speaker 6: that comes in, No, I want something else. The ego
- 10:40Speaker 6: always wants not this. It wants to use this to
- 10:43Speaker 6: get there. It wants to use every person that comes
- 10:46Speaker 6: into now to get there. So every person the ego meets, Okay,
- 10:52Speaker 6: are you going to enable me to get to the
- 10:55Speaker 6: next more important moment? How can I use you to
- 10:58Speaker 6: get where I want to get to? Then now is
- 11:02Speaker 6: made into an obstacle, or for people who are very strongly,
- 11:08Speaker 6: very strongly identified with the egoic mind, they make them
- 11:12Speaker 6: now into an enemy, continuously complaining it never know they should,
- 11:18Speaker 6: why don't they? This is never well. They can go
- 11:20Speaker 6: into the most wonderful place in After five minutes, they
- 11:23Speaker 6: found the one thing that's not working as it should,
- 11:26Speaker 6: and they're complaining they should do something about it. If not,
- 11:29Speaker 6: I'm going to do something about it. And if they're
- 11:37Speaker 6: not complaining verbally, they're complaining in their heads, complaining about situations,
- 11:45Speaker 6: about other people, about what's happening, or complaining that's something
- 11:48Speaker 6: that should be happening is not happening. This is It
- 11:54Speaker 6: sounds insane because it is insane, but it is not
- 12:01Speaker 6: nothing personal. It is not recognized as insanity because it
- 12:07Speaker 6: is fairly normal. And if it's normal, then it's not
- 12:13Speaker 6: recognized as an illness. So that is the dysfunctional state
- 12:19Speaker 6: of consciousness that is condemned to perpetual discontent.
