00:00:00.000 What do we do?
00:00:01.520 Is it more to accept the fact that if we all have different values and principles and things and religion and God and whatever you want to say,
00:00:10.180 are we forcing people to get along?
00:00:12.640 Is that like an impossible thing?
00:00:15.620 Because more of these guys talk about peace, the more I'm hearing forced than I see peace.
00:00:21.280 Because peace means freedom is out.
00:00:24.640 You better listen to me to be at peace.
00:00:26.760 How do we do that?
00:00:27.580 I must tell you this.
00:00:28.440 I was to speak at Tel Aviv a few years ago, before all these situations happened.
00:00:36.500 I'm flying from Atlanta.
00:00:38.920 Some technical issue with the airplane and it got delayed.
00:00:41.800 I was supposed to land at eleven in the morning, speak at six-thirty in the evening.
00:00:45.700 But I landed at six in the evening.
00:00:48.560 I'm flying an American airline.
00:00:50.860 You know, there's nothing edible on the plane .
00:00:54.240 They're throwing some dog parts to you, which I don't eat.
00:00:58.880 So I'm famished by the time I land there.
00:01:01.880 Six o'clock I land.
00:01:03.380 I have no time, so I change quickly in the airport and rush.
00:01:08.800 And this never happens to me, but on that day, I'm speaking in a fine restaurant in
00:01:14.480 Tel Aviv .
00:01:17.840 I thought this is a great place when you're this hungry.
00:01:20.240 This is the best place to come but I have no time to eat.
00:01:22.800 I can at least imbibe the smells.
00:01:25.420 As I walk in, people have already come in, many of them, and they're greeting me.
00:01:30.500 And one guy comes and says, Shalom.
00:01:32.720 I ask him, what does it mean?
00:01:34.900 He says, this is the highest way of greeting.
00:01:38.320 I said, that's your opinion.
00:01:39.920 Tell me what does it mean?
00:01:41.920 He said, no, no, it's really the highest way of greeting.
00:01:46.040 I said, it's all right, what does the word mean?
00:01:47.980 He said, it means peace.
00:01:50.740 I said, see, in South India, where I am from, in the morning, I go and tell somebody, peace.
00:01:59.240 He'll ask, what's wrong with you ?
00:02:04.360 Whatever you denied of for a long period of time will become the highest goal in your life.
00:02:11.740 If I deny you food for five days, then you know, there's a joke in India that if you
00:02:18.500 You go and ask a beggar, how much is two plus two, he says four chapatis, all right?
00:02:25.420 Your consciousness gets filled with those things which you're deprived of. 0.69
00:02:29.420 So you come to America, everybody's saying, love is God, God is love, arreh!
00:02:34.860 Love is a human emotion.
00:02:36.700 Human beings need it to be pleasant to each other.
00:02:40.280 Whether people are saying the core of universe is love, why the hell does core of universe
00:02:46.080 be loving, huh?
00:02:48.020 It has enough gravity to hold things together, I'm glad.
00:02:51.060 I'm not expecting core of universe to be loving to me.
00:02:54.900 You as a human being, if you're loving, you feel pleasant and wonderful within you.
00:02:59.180 Your emotions are pleasant.
00:03:00.660 Or let me put it this way, see, being pleasant is important for a human being.
00:03:06.280 Experience being pleasant.
00:03:08.760 If your body is pleasant, we call this health.
00:03:11.260 You want it?
00:03:12.260 Say yes or no, man.
00:03:14.260 Health?
00:03:15.260 Health.
00:03:16.260 Yes.
00:03:17.500 Absolutely.
00:03:17.920 Not to me.
00:03:18.960 Every cell in your body must hear it.
00:03:21.280 It's very important.
00:03:22.840 Listen, I definitely want health, especially after I tore my ACL two days ago.
00:03:26.520 So I want a lot of health.
00:03:29.040 Yes.
00:03:29.480 Tell all the cells in your body, I want health, because those guys can mess up your life so badly if they misunderstand you.
00:03:38.620 If I say, do you want health?
00:03:40.800 Suppose they don't understand what you want.
00:03:43.800 So pleasantness in the body is called health.
00:03:47.260 If it became very pleasant…
00:03:49.260 Yeah.
00:03:50.260 We call it pleasure. You want it?
00:03:52.260 Yes.
00:03:53.260 If your mind becomes pleasant, we call it peace. You want it?
00:03:57.260 Absolutely.
00:03:58.260 If it becomes very pleasant, we call it joy. Huh?
00:04:02.260 Absolutely, all day.
00:04:04.260 If your emotions become pleasant, we call it love.
00:04:10.260 All day, twice on Sunday.
00:04:13.260 If it becomes very pleasant, we call it compassion.
00:04:19.120 If your very life energies become pleasant, we call this blissfulness.
00:04:24.020 If it becomes very pleasant, we call it ecstasy.
00:04:27.840 If your surroundings become pleasant, we call it success.
00:04:31.960 Only to create pleasantness in your surroundings, you need the cooperation of many forces around
00:04:37.760 you.
00:04:38.980 The pleasantness of body, pleasantness of mind, pleasantness of emotion and pleasantness
00:04:43.740 of energy is one hundred percent your business.
00:04:47.520 If this one thing everybody gets, they being wonderful human beings is a reality.
00:04:54.360 Right now, somebody thinks it's in a bottle.
00:04:57.680 Somebody thinks it's in heaven.
00:04:59.480 Somebody thinks it's in a philosophy.
00:05:01.320 Somebody thinks it's in a man or a woman.
00:05:03.780 Everybody is trying to squeeze it for somewhere, from somewhere.
00:05:06.820 But a simple reality is this, human experiences are manufactured within yourself.
00:05:15.560 Human experiences are caused from within.
00:05:18.120 What is within, if you try to squeeze it from outside, what will happen?
00:05:21.540 Let me tell you this story.
00:05:23.700 A potato farmer one day had a desire to eat apples.
00:05:28.060 So he went to the apple tree.
00:05:31.120 But out of sheer habit, he started digging for apples.
00:05:35.900 He dug quite a bit and no apples, so he dug furiously.
00:05:40.540 Then the tree came down on him.
00:05:42.580 This is the reality of the human being right now.
00:05:46.300 But what is inside, you're digging up the whole goddamn world, turning it upside down.
00:05:51.940 In pursuit of human happiness and well-being, that is what is destroying the world, isn't it?
00:06:01.760 It is.
00:06:03.820 So I'm trying to see what I took away from this.
00:06:05.780 In is the only way out. You want to write down, in is the only way out.
00:06:10.900 In is the only way out.
00:06:12.400 Out, if you're looking for well-being.
00:06:15.540 So you haven't answered my question yet though.
00:06:21.540 So, world peace.
00:06:23.540 We'll come to world peace. You've not even handled the human being yet.
00:06:27.220 I understand that. I understand that. But what I'm…
00:06:29.540 The world peace is just a slogan, okay?
00:06:33.820 It's just a slogan, and it's a profession for some people.
00:06:36.740 I agree.
00:06:37.600 That's what I agree.
00:06:39.040 My impression is that.
00:06:41.080 My impression is they've made us into a business.
00:06:43.880 Yes.
00:06:44.500 I told you, conference hopping itself is a big business.
00:06:47.720 Well, I mean, it's just a guilt factor, right?
00:06:50.260 You know, well, let's do this, and let's do that.
00:06:52.800 If you want to create a peaceful human being,
00:06:55.980 or if you want to create peaceful human beings...
00:06:58.760 Society.
00:06:59.540 It's, no, there's no, see, all these are words, let's get to this.
00:07:05.200 Society, world, global, this thing, family, all these are just words.
00:07:11.340 Actually, there's you and me here.
00:07:13.320 If both of us are peaceful, this room is peaceful.
00:07:16.580 As simple as that.
00:07:17.640 This place is peaceful right now.
00:07:20.200 Yes?
00:07:21.760 Depends.
00:07:22.200 i can cause some havoc if i want we don't want that we want we want peace i'm saying if you
00:07:32.920 and me are peaceful yeah this is peaceful right if like this a million people are peaceful by
00:07:39.180 themselves the town is peaceful it's easy with two it's hard with a million it's even harder
00:07:43.620 with a billion no no it is not even easy with two two people you know how much violence happens
00:07:48.800 between them verbally and stuff more violence than two nations much more happens within families
00:07:55.020 okay so it is not possible to have between two people or ten people a million people or a billion
00:08:00.600 people it is only possible that you can be peaceful you yep so one v one you yes because human
00:08:09.000 experience is caused from within not from outside got it in is the only way out let me ask you can
00:08:15.980 a successful, ruthless businessman be at peace? Can a ruthless, successful businessman who's
00:08:25.840 a winner be at peace? Only if he is at peace, he can win. Otherwise, he'll make a fool of
00:08:32.300 himself. Tell me more. Are you the guy? No, depending on that, I'll choose my word.
00:08:39.080 Will you say you were like that back in the days? Like when you were running a business?
00:08:42.380 Like it was…
00:08:43.380 See, the word ruthless is not something that I would associate myself with.
00:08:50.820 But am I always seeing how to make things work?
00:08:53.760 Yes.
00:08:54.760 See, you're successful not because you want to be successful.
00:08:58.480 You're successful because you do things the right way.
00:09:02.140 This is something we must understand.
00:09:04.700 You know, I was talking to somebody in a conversation and at that time, now that whole thing, the
00:09:12.240 the Pakistani teams have broken down very badly,
00:09:14.940 unfortunately, but at that time,
00:09:17.280 India-Pakistan cricket match means it's a big deal.
00:09:20.480 Biggest in the world, like World Cup has won. 0.97
00:09:23.020 Sometimes you guys are even more than World Cup. 1.00
00:09:24.820 Yeah, now that Pakistani teams have collapsed,
00:09:28.220 whatever reasons, but at that time, this guy asked me,
00:09:31.460 Sadhguru, last question, how to beat Pakistan in cricket?
00:09:36.140 I said, see, if you want to beat Pakistan, 1.00
00:09:38.140 you must send Indian army. 1.00
00:09:39.440 Cricket means, don't beat Pakistan, hit the goddamn ball. 0.99
00:09:46.800 Why are you trying to beat Pakistan? 1.00
00:09:49.580 You just have to hit the ball, right? 0.96
00:09:53.160 In this emotion of wanting to beat Pakistan, you will do something stupid. 0.99
00:09:57.680 So I am saying, for you to be successful, it's not because you're ruthless. 0.85
00:10:03.200 Because you want to win, you will win.
00:10:06.040 It is because you do things right.
00:10:08.640 If you want to do things right, you need insight, inspiration and integrity.
00:10:18.700 If you're a loner in your business, inspiration and insight will do.
00:10:25.300 But if you have to inspire a thousand people around you, you need integrity.
00:10:29.140 If there is no integrity, you can't inspire anybody.
00:10:33.500 People will not be inspired or trustworthy if they don't see you as an inspiration.
00:10:39.780 And you will be inspiration only if they see you with a very highest level of integrity.
00:10:45.940 Otherwise people will go away.
