00:00Sadhguru: Even without doing any activity
you can still manifest what you want
00:04if you organize these four dimensions in one direction and
keep it unwavering in that direction for a certain period of time.
00:12Now he believes Shiva will do it for him
and it will happen.
00:16So is Shiva going to come and build your house?
00:18No, I want you to understand,
God will not lift his little finger for you.
00:23What has not happened till now on this planet can happen tomorrow.
00:26Human beings are capable of making it happen tomorrow.
00:36Everything we as human beings have created on
this planet was essentially first created in our minds
00:46All that you see, which is human work on this planet,
00:52first found expression in the mind,
then it got manifested in the outside world.
01:01The wonderful things that we have done on this planet
and the horrible things that we have done on this planet
01:07both have come from the human mind.
01:10So if we are concerned as to what we create in this world,
01:14it’s extremely important that first of all we learn to create
the right things in our mind; how we keep our minds.
01:20If we do not have the power to
keep our minds the way we want it,
01:25what we create in the world is also going
to be very accidental and haphazard.
01:30So learning to create our minds the way we want
is the basis of creating the world the way we want.
01:37There is a wonderful story in the yogic lore.
01:41On a certain day a man took a walk.
He went for a long walk.
01:46Accidentally, unawares he walked into paradise.
Fortunate, isn't he?
01:55He just took a walk and he landed up in paradise.
After this long walk he felt little tired,
02:04so he thought, “Oh, I am tired,
I wish I could rest somewhere.”
02:10He looked around, there, there was a nice tree,
underneath which there was very cushiony grass.
02:19So it was inviting, he went and
put his head down there and slept.
02:25After a few hours he woke up,
well rested, and he thought,
02:31“Oh, I am well rested, but, I am
feeling hungry, I wish I had something to eat.”
02:39And he thought about all the nice things
that he ever wanted to eat in his life,
02:44and instantly all those things appeared in front of him.
You need to understand there the service is like that.
02:54Hungry people don’t ask questions.
Food came and he ate.
03:00Stomach became full, then he thought,
“Oh, my stomach is full, I wish I had something to drink.”
03:11All the nice things that he ever wanted to drink
03:14he thought about it and all of
them just appeared in front of him.
03:18Drinking people also don’t ask questions.
So he drank.
03:24Now with a little bit of alcohol in him….
03:27you know, Charles Darwin told you,
“All of you were monkeys, your tail fell away?”
03:32Not me, Charles Darwin told you that you were all monkeys
and your tail fell away and then you became human.
03:39Yes, definitely the tail fell away but the monkey…
03:43In yoga we always refer to an un-established
mind as markata which means a monkey.
03:52Why we are referring to the mind as a monkey is
– what are the qualities of a monkey?
03:59One thing about a monkey is its unnecessary movement.
04:05And another thing about the monkey is – if I say,
“You are monkeying somebody,” what does it mean? Imitation.
04:13Monkey and imitation have become synonymous.
04:17So these two essential qualities of a monkey are
very much the qualities of an un-established mind.
04:23Unnecessary movement,
you don’t have to learn it from the monkey,
04:28you can teach it to the monkey.
And imitation is full-time job of the mind.
04:36So when these two qualities are on,
a mind is referred to as a monkey.
04:41So this monkey became active within him.
04:45He just looked around, thought,
“What the hell is happening here?
04:49I asked for food, food came;
I asked for drink, drink came;
04:57there must be ghosts around here!”
And ghosts came.
05:02“Oh the ghosts have come,
they are going to surround me and torture me,” he thought.
05:06Immediately the ghosts surrounded him
and started torturing him.
05:11Then he started screaming in pain and said,
“Oh, they are going to kill me,” and he died.
05:17Just now he said he’s a fortunate being.
05:20The problem is he was sitting under a
Kalpavriksha or a wishing tree.
05:26He asked for food, food came.
He asked for drink, drink came.
05:30He asked for ghosts, ghosts came.
He asked for torture, torture came.
05:33He asked for death, death happened.
05:36Now don’t go looking for these Kalpavrikshas in the forest.
You can barely find a tree these days.
05:48A well-established mind, a mind which is in a
state of samyukti is referred to as a Kalpavriksha.
05:56If you organize your mind to a certain level of organization,
it in turn organizes the whole system.
06:04Your body, your emotion, your energies
everything gets organized in that direction.
06:09Once all these four dimensions of you,
06:12your physical body, your mind, your emotion and the
fundamental life energies are organized in one direction
06:20– once you are like this, anything that you wish
happens without even lifting a little finger actually.
06:27It would help to assist it with activity. But even without doing any activity
you can still manifest what you want
06:35if you organize these four dimensions in one direction and
keep it unwavering in that direction for a certain period of time.
06:44Right now the problem with your mind is:
every moment it is changing its direction.
06:49It is like you want to travel somewhere and every
two steps if you keep changing your direction,
06:54the question of you reaching the destination is very remote,
unless it happens by chance.
07:02So organizing our minds and in
turn organizing the whole system
07:09and these four basic dimensions of
who you are right now in one direction,
07:14if you do this, you are a Kalpavriksha yourself.
07:17Anything that you wish will happen.
07:20But right now if you look at your lives,
07:23everything that you have wished for
till now, if it happens you are finished.
07:28Everything and everybody that you have desired for,
07:31if all of that lands up in your house
today, could you live with that?
07:36Once we are empowered like this, it’s very
important that our physical action,
07:41emotional action, mental action and energy
actions are controlled and properly directed.
07:48If it is not so, we become destructive, self-destructive.
07:52Right now that is our problem.
07:54The technology which is supposed
to make our life beautiful and easy
07:58has become the source of all the problems, that we are
destroying the very basis of our life, which is the planet.
08:06So what should have been a boon,
we are making a curse out of it.
08:10What has brought incredible levels
of comfort and convenience to us
08:15in the last hundred years or so,
has also become a threat to our life,
08:20simply because we are not conscious action,
we are in a compulsive state of action.
08:28So organizing our minds
fundamentally means moving from
08:33a compulsive state of activity
to a conscious state of activity.
08:38You might have heard of people
for whom they ask for something
08:43and beyond all expectations it came true for them.
08:47Generally this happens to people who are in faith.
08:51Now let’s say you want to build a house.
08:55If you start thinking,
08:57“Oh I want to build a house, to build a house I need
fifty lakhs but I have only fifty rupees in my pocket.
09:02Not possible, not possible, not possible.”
09:05The moment you say, “Not possible”
you are also saying “I don’t want it.”
09:10So on one level you are creating a
desire that you want something,
09:13on another level you are saying “I don’t want it.”
09:16So in this conflict, it may not happen.
09:20Someone who has some faith in
a god or in a temple or whatever,
09:25who is simple-minded – faith works only
for those people who are simple-minded.
09:30Thinking people, people who are too
much thinking, for them it never works.
09:34A childlike person who has a simple faith,
in his god or his temple or whatever,
09:41he goes to the temple and says, “Shiva I want a house.
09:45I don’t know how, you must make it for me.”
09:48Now in his mind there are no negative thoughts.
09:51“Will it happen, will it not happen,
is it possible, is it not possible?”
09:54– these things are completely
removed by the simple act of faith.
09:59Now he believes Shiva will do
it for him and it will happen.
10:06So is Shiva going to come and build your house?
10:08No, I want you to understand God
will not lift his little finger for you.
10:13What you refer to as “God” is the source of creation.
10:17As a creator he has done a phenomenal job.
10:20There is no question about it.
10:22Could you think of a better creation than this?
10:25Is it in anybody’s imagination to think
anything better than what is there right now?
10:31So as a creator he has done his job wonderfully well.
10:35But if you want life to happen the way you want it,
10:39because right now the very crux of your
happiness and your well-being is this:
10:44If at all, if you are unhappy,
10:47the only and only reason why you are unhappy is life
is not happening the way you think it should happen.
10:56So if life is not happening the way you think
it is… it should happen, you are unhappy.
11:01If life happens the way you think
it should happen, you are happy.
11:05It’s as simple as that.
11:07So if life has to happen the way
you think it should happen,
11:10first of all, how you think,
with how much focus you think,
11:16how much stability is there in your thought and how
much reverberance is there in the thought process
11:24will determine whether your thought will
become a reality or is it just an empty thought
11:30or how you do not create any impediments for
your thought by creating negative thought process.
11:39‘Is something possible or not possible’
is destroying humanity.
11:45What is possible and not possible is
not your business, it's nature’s business.
11:50Your business is just to strive for what you want.
11:54Right now you are sitting here,
11:58if I ask you two simple questions
– I want you to just look at this and answer this.
12:04Right now, from where you
are sitting can you just fly off?
12:10Right now from where you are
sitting can get up and walk?
12:14What is the basis of this?
12:16Why you say no to flying and yes to walking?
12:20Because past experience of life.
12:22Many times you have gotten up
and walked, never did you fly off.
12:27Or in other words you are using the
past experience of life as a basis
12:33for deciding whether something
is possible or not possible.
12:36Or in other words, you have decided that what has not
happened till now cannot happen in your life in future.
12:44This is a disgrace to humanity and the human spirit.
12:48What has not happened till now on
this planet can happen tomorrow.
12:51Human beings are capable of
making it happen tomorrow.
12:55So what is possible and what is not possible
is not your business, that is nature’s business.
13:00Nature will decide that.
13:02You just see what is it that you
really want and strive for that;
13:07and if your thought is created in a
powerful way, without any negativity,
13:12without any negative thoughts, bringing
down the intensity of the thought process.
13:17The first and foremost thing is you must
be clear, what is it that you really want?
13:24If you do not know what you want,
the question of creating it doesn’t arise.
13:31If you look at what you really want,
13:34what every human being wants is: he wants
to live joyfully, he wants to live peacefully,
13:41in terms of his relationships,
he wants it to be loving and affectionate.
13:45Or in other words all that any human being is
seeking for is pleasantness within himself,
13:52pleasantness around him.
13:54This pleasantness, if it happens in our
body, we call this health and pleasure.
13:59If it happens in our mind we call this peace and joy.
14:03If it happens in our emotion,
we call this love and compassion.
14:07If it happens in our energy,
we call this blissfulness and ecstasy.
14:11This is all that a human being is looking for.
14:14Whether he is going to his office to work,
14:18he wants to make money, build a career, build
a family, he sits in the bar, sits in the temple,
14:25he is still looking for the same thing;
14:27pleasantness within, pleasantness around.
14:30If this is what we want to create,
14:33I think it’s time we addressed it directly
and commit ourselves to creating it.
14:38So you want to create yourself as a peaceful human
being, joyful human being, loving human being
14:46– a pleasant human being on all levels
and do you also want a world like this
14:52– a peaceful world, a loving world, a joyful world?
14:56“No, no, I want greenery, I want food.”
14:58When we say a joyful world that means
everything that you want has happened.
15:03So this is all that you are looking for.
15:05So, all that you need to do is
commit yourself to creating it,
15:09to create a peaceful, joyful and loving world,
both for yourself and everybody around you.
15:16Every day in the morning if you start your
day with this simple thought in your mind,
15:21that “Today wherever I go I will create
a peaceful, loving and joyful world.”
15:28If you fall down hundred times
in the day what does it matter?
15:31For a committed man there is no such thing as failure.
15:34If you fall down hundred times,
hundred lessons to be learnt.
15:38If you commit yourself like this, to creating what
you really care for, now your mind gets organized.
15:44Once your mind gets organized the way you think is
the way you feel – your emotion will get organized.
15:49Once your thought and emotion is organized, your
energies will get organized in the same direction.
15:55Once your thought, emotion and energies are
organized, your very body will get organized.
16:00Once all these four are organized in one direction,
16:03your ability to create and manifest
what you want is phenomenal.
16:07You are the Creator in many ways.
16:11That which is the source of creation is
functioning within you every moment of your life.
16:17It is just that: have you kept
access to that dimension or not?
16:22Organizing the four basic elements
of your life will give you that access.
16:27There are tools and technologies to do this.
16:29The whole science of yoga, the whole technology
that we refer to as yoga is just about this
16:35– transforming yourself from being just
a piece of creation to become a creator.
16:45It is my wish and my blessing that every human
being in this world should have this access
16:52to the source of creation within himself
so that he can function here as a creator,
