00:00:00.000 Crazy question for you.
00:00:01.220 When I was building my sales team, we built a good-sized insurance company nationally.
00:00:07.500 We licensed 60,000 insurance agents.
00:00:09.440 We had a lot of young guys.
00:00:11.340 And a conversation of sexual desire would come up for men.
00:00:15.700 And some of them, you know, you're married.
00:00:17.860 You're like, hey, so how do you manage the sexual urge that you naturally have?
00:00:22.900 What would you say to them?
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.
00:01:04.820 I was talking to…
00:01:05.820 I…
00:01:06.820 We have never hired a…
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.
00:01:27.020 Then I asked this guy, free consultation .
00:01:31.920 I don't pay anybody anything.
00:01:33.360 This is my expectation .
00:01:34.360 Of course, everybody comes to you .
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.
00:01:45.140 Why aren't millions of people 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
00:02:06.900 libido will multiply 10x.
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
00:02:20.780 millions will not happen in this.
00:02:22.120 What was the second one?
00:02:23.120 You're going to be rich?
00:02:24.120 You will…
00:02:25.120 Weight loss will happen.
00:02:26.120 And your libido is going to 10x.
00:02:27.120 10x.
00:02:28.120 Yeah.
00:02:29.120 Then I will sell millions.
00:02:30.120 I said, okay.
00:02:33.120 I'm not…
00:02:34.120 Did you try?
00:02:35.120 Did you start saying…
00:02:36.120 I am not willing to say this.
00:02:37.120 Of course, your libido is going to connect.
00:02:39.020 I'm not willing to say those things.
00:02:40.680 I'm okay the way I am.
00:02:44.180 Yeah, so what would you say?
00:02:45.440 What would you say for desires,
00:02:46.820 for men to control their desires?
00:02:48.900 See, desire is there.
00:02:50.480 In human body, there is desire.
00:02:52.940 If the desire was not there,
00:02:54.560 you and me wouldn't be born.
00:02:56.080 Sure.
00:02:56.520 Right?
00:02:56.880 Unless you believe you dropped from heaven or something.
00:02:59.600 You've born natural birth, right?
00:03:01.420 Natural birth.
00:03:02.100 Yes.
00:03:02.920 So somebody had desire.
00:03:04.900 If the desire is not there,
00:03:06.160 we wouldn't be born.
00:03:06.840 who take the trouble of bearing a child and then bringing it up, all this nonsense.
00:03:12.680 It's not easy.
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
00:03:23.400 in that whole system.
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.
00:03:39.360 See, it's like this.
00:03:40.720 If you have money in your pocket, it's a good thing, it makes your life comfortable.
00:03:45.860 If you're…
00:03:46.860 There's no money in your pocket, today you have to see, where is my bread?
00:03:49.480 You can't do anything creative in your life.
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.
00:04:00.540 Similarly, money should be in the pocket.
00:04:03.080 If it gets to your head, you'll get sick.
00:04:06.160 Similarly, sexuality should be in the body.
00:04:09.900 It's gotten into the head.
00:04:11.300 It's a kind of perversion.
00:04:13.300 Too much in the head.
00:04:15.120 People are trying to read sexuality everywhere because everybody's following that fraud
00:04:19.640 you know what Sigmund Freud guy.
00:04:24.760 Well, he himself was quite sick, full, fearful of death, you know that?
00:04:31.420 He wanted to go to Egypt.
00:04:32.420 He couldn't travel because he's scared of seeing the mummies.
00:04:36.260 He was a weird guy.
00:04:37.240 And that guy was giving all solutions to you.
00:04:39.920 All the best.
00:04:41.620 And a lot of people followed it.
00:04:43.200 Yes.
00:04:43.700 Even today, a lot of principles are from him.
00:04:46.820 You think so?
00:04:47.760 Yes.
00:04:48.440 On the sexual side?
00:04:49.620 Yes.
00:04:50.180 Wow.
00:04:51.220 He's the one who said everything is libido.
00:04:53.780 Right.
00:04:55.100 Well, isn't he the guy that he had fantasies with his mother or something?
00:04:57.980 A little weird.
00:04:59.820 You know the story with this, with Sigmund Freud?
00:05:02.200 He talked about every...
00:05:04.780 Everything is libido.
00:05:06.980 Right.
00:05:07.920 Okay.
00:05:10.320 Yeah.
00:05:12.800 So, okay.
00:05:14.380 I'm saying it is not in the right place.
00:05:17.080 If it's in your body, it's a limited sphere of life.
00:05:20.200 Right now, it's entered your head.
00:05:22.160 It looks like everything is like that.
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.
00:05:30.280 And they will suffer 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,
00:05:55.700 It rules you.
00:05:57.500 Promiscuity? 0.99
00:05:58.640 No.
00:05:59.800 I'm not even saying promiscuity.
00:06:02.100 It's an individual choice what people do.
00:06:04.340 But it should not be in your head.
00:06:06.660 It should be in your body.
00:06:09.260 Yeah, I had a husband and wife that worked with me 20 years ago.
00:06:14.320 Harmi and his wife sing.
00:06:18.720 If his wife was around other wives, all she wanted to talk about was sex.

00:07:01.060 It was, have you read this book?
00:07:02.900 Have you tried this book?
00:07:03.480 Somebody is telling me.
00:07:04.980 She's a senior vice president in a law firm,
00:07:08.120 which is one of the top firms in the country.
00:07:11.260 She says, Sadhguru, you don't know,
00:07:13.500 in the lunch hour, if you sit there, 0.99
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. 0.84
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
00:07:40.520 Like schoolboys, they are.
00:07:43.260 What do you think about that?
00:07:44.340 Too much obsession on that.
00:07:46.480 It's cultivated.
00:07:48.160 Yeah.
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
00:08:18.340 It was 12 hours, not 24 hours.
00:08:20.080 I don't want her to get upset.
00:08:22.920 What do you think about when you read stories like this?
00:08:25.700 Because they write about this.
00:08:27.060 They're like, hey, look at this.
00:08:28.040 Look what she did and gets hundreds of millions of views
00:08:31.200 and she's not even a guru.
00:08:35.380 It's unfortunate because I, you know,
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.
00:08:58.180 Wow.
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
00:09:11.600 be born.
00:09:12.600 They're here because of that.
00:09:15.200 So it's not a question of right and wrong.
00:09:18.480 It's a question…
00:09:19.480 See, anything it is, food.
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.
00:09:29.980 This is also just like that.
00:09:32.060 These are all physical needs which need to be satisfied, not to be pursued like as if
00:09:37.640 it's the ultimate goal of life.
