When I was building my sales team, we built a good-sized insurance company nationally.
00:00:11.340
And a conversation of sexual desire would come up for men.
00:00:17.860
You're like, hey, so how do you manage the sexual urge that you naturally have?
00:00:24.000
See, if… there are… as I said, relationships happen because of physical, psychological,
00:00:36.220
emotional and social needs, sometimes financial needs also.
00:00:43.380
Right now , I'm not trying to make a statement on this culture or whatever.
00:00:51.480
But it's a fact that we've overly exaggerated the physicality of what a human being is,
00:00:57.460
particularly in these societies, especially in United States of America.
00:01:01.000
I must tell you this, because you have this Inner Engineering book.
00:01:07.820
a marketing agency or a PR agency, we can't afford it, it's just our volunteers working.
00:01:12.920
I have over nineteen million volunteers, everybody is a PR for me.
00:01:16.800
So I never could afford, but one guy, one PR guy who was supposed to be maybe fourth
00:01:23.060
or fifth company in the country, he came and did the program.
00:01:36.720
So I asked him, see, we've made this Inner Engineering online program new at that time.
00:01:42.180
I said, see, a few thousand people are doing it.
00:01:47.020
Because whoever comes and does it, they say, wow, wow, but millions are not doing it.
00:01:51.780
He told me one thing, Sadhguru, you need to understand United States.
00:01:58.620
If you are willing to say, you will become rich or your weight loss will happen or your
00:02:09.060
If you're willing to say these three things, I will sell millions of your program.
00:02:15.260
If you're not saying this, I have been through the program, I know how valuable it is, but
00:02:56.880
Unless you believe you dropped from heaven or something.
00:03:06.840
who take the trouble of bearing a child and then bringing it up, all this nonsense.
00:03:14.900
All this is happening because there is a desire.
00:03:17.540
The desire is there because there is a certain amount of pleasure or satisfaction instituted
00:03:25.540
But how much of it is there, if you look at it?
00:03:29.160
If you just take it as a physicality, it's a certain percentage of one's life.
00:03:35.600
But right now, socially, we are pushing it into people's minds.
00:03:40.720
If you have money in your pocket, it's a good thing, it makes your life comfortable.
00:03:46.860
There's no money in your pocket, today you have to see, where is my bread?
00:03:51.600
So, your bread is assured, your shelter is assured, things are assured for you.
00:03:56.140
This means you can think of your activity raising to a different pitch.
00:04:15.120
People are trying to read sexuality everywhere because everybody's following that fraud
00:04:24.760
Well, he himself was quite sick, full, fearful of death, you know that?
00:04:32.420
He couldn't travel because he's scared of seeing the mummies.
00:04:55.100
Well, isn't he the guy that he had fantasies with his mother or something?
00:04:59.820
You know the story with this, with Sigmund Freud?
00:05:17.080
If it's in your body, it's a limited sphere of life.
00:05:24.520
This is something you must cure the society of.
00:05:26.960
Right from childhood, we are cultivating our children like this.
00:05:31.280
they will not enjoy this. Most human beings, I'm telling you, even in America where there is so
00:05:37.080
much promiscuity or openness to sexuality, even here most people are suffering the urge rather
00:05:44.380
than enjoying the urge, because it's like that. If it's not in the right place, if it's in the
00:05:50.920
body, it has its own beauty. But if it enters your head, it'll become a kind of perversion,
00:06:09.260
Yeah, I had a husband and wife that worked with me 20 years ago.
00:06:18.720
If his wife was around other wives, all she wanted to talk about was sex.
00:06:24.020

It's become a, and socially it's become that kind of thing.
00:07:16.460
the only thing, all these men who are over 50, 60 years of age,
00:07:20.460
the only thing they discuss is the woman's body parts.
00:07:23.840
Throughout the lunch, every day, same thing.

00:07:26.740
You just go sit near a window, facing the window, I eat.
00:07:29.900
I can't eat with the people, with my own colleagues.
00:07:33.540
And if they go off-site somewhere, it just goes crazy.
0.98
00:07:48.440
Yeah. Well, I mean, nowadays, you know, you're talking about forget about porn.
00:07:54.480
Like it's it's gotten to a point that you got only fans, you got girls trying to break records.
00:08:02.240
There's a girl that slept with, I think, a thousand men. And what was it? A thousand men in 24 hours.
00:08:07.500
You know, and it gets so much attention. It gets so much attention.
00:08:11.640
Yeah, this girl right here, she said she slept with a thousand fifty seven men in 12 hours.
1.00
00:08:16.540
Forgive me, I don't want to ruin her record.
0.86
00:08:22.920
What do you think about when you read stories like this?
00:08:28.040
Look what she did and gets hundreds of millions of views
00:08:40.000
many, many people come and talk to me how at an early age
00:08:44.420
they were exposed to pornography. And what happened to their minds after that? They couldn't
00:08:49.540
think of anything. Whether they look at their sisters or mothers, they can't think of anything
00:08:53.760
else and they feel sick. There have been people I know that who committed suicide.
00:08:59.180
Because they just couldn't bear it. Very early age, they saw these things and it just
00:09:05.760
ruled them from inside. See, the sexual instinct is there. Without that, as I said, we wouldn't
00:09:22.240
How much to eat, there is a certain consciousness about it, isn't it?
00:09:27.160
Because there is food, if you go on eating, you know what'll happen.
00:09:32.060
These are all physical needs which need to be satisfied, not to be pursued like as if
