00:00Not a single one in my campus days was not seeing women as objects of desire.
00:06Men will always do things in their mind if they cannot, let's say, do it physically.
00:12For example, if you are their object, then they will rape you in their mind.
00:17One doesn't imagine a rape scene for nothing.
00:19It is imagined so that one can ejaculate. That's masturbation.
00:21Why do you expect that all these are nice people?
00:24Why you find a python coiling around its prey?
00:28Are you disappointed?
00:29But when a fellow who is a candidate to be your boyfriend, when he is found masturbating in the bathroom, then you are disappointed.
00:35But you are not supposed to do that.
00:36What else is he supposed to do?
00:37Why do you think he comes to you?
00:39Alright, out of these, you know, out of the 60, 40 are maybe rotten people.
00:43But at least 20 are nice guys.
00:45Hi.
00:46I cannot just say that the entire society is rotten because if I say that, how will I get a partner?
00:52But because we are self-receptive people, we do not address our own animal behavior.
00:57We don't want to, first of all, see that we are animals in the first place.
01:00You really have to strive to be someone who is not an animal.
01:05And the first step in that strife is...
01:10I was doing mechanical engineering and I was the only girl in my class of 50 boys.
01:21And I always studied in a girl's school.
01:25So it was new for me.
01:27But then one of my friends those days told me that men will always do things in their mind if they cannot, let's say, do it physically.
01:42You mean masturbation?
01:43So, no, not that even.
01:47I think, for example, if you are their object, then they will rape you in their mind.
01:55And so they can, let's say, create some scenes or whatever.
01:59Because there were a lot of gossips, not just around me, but I think many women in the college who had less than 10% women in the entire batch.
02:11So I think it's a bit disappointing, right?
02:19Because, as you said, it's primitive and it's very hard to...
02:23Again, again, again, you are speaking from the same center.
02:26Again, when I started, I said, you look hurt.
02:31And what is it that's hurt?
02:32The assumption.
02:33Now, again, you are saying you are disappointed.
02:37Why do you hold assumptions and expectations in the first place?
02:42Why?
02:43You must be having some interest there.
02:45You must be having some stake there.
02:49You want to believe that the 60 boys of your batch are all nice people.
02:55Why do you want to have that expectation?
02:59Maybe you want to pick one of them as a nice one for yourself.
03:03Maybe.
03:04Therefore, it hurts when you discover that each of them is a beast.
03:08And yes, that is called masturbation.
03:11In one word.
03:13Imagining a rape scene and doing all those.
03:15One doesn't imagine a rape scene for nothing.
03:17It is imagined so that one can ejaculate.
03:19That's masturbation.
03:22Why do you expect that all these are nice people?
03:24Why?
03:27There has to be some stake there, right?
03:30No.
03:30I am forced to assume that one of them,
03:34at least one of them or a few of them are nice people.
03:37I cannot just say that the entire society is rotten
03:41because if I say that, how will I get a partner?
03:43If I want to go out with someone,
03:48if I want to date someone,
03:49if I want to establish to myself
03:52that I have a nice fellow, nice partner for myself,
03:55then I have to leave some scope open.
03:59All right.
03:59Out of these, you know, out of the 60,
04:0140 are maybe rotten people.
04:03But at least 20 are nice guys.
04:05Hi.
04:10And even if then evidence is available,
04:14you want to shy away from it.
04:19Not a single one in my campus days
04:22was not seeing women as objects of desire.
04:27Not a single one, including this one.
04:32But you want to assume,
04:33no, no, you know, he is a cutie fellow.
04:35Come my teddy.
04:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:38Sit in my lap.
04:39There you have your own interests,
04:44including sexual ones.
04:46That's what.
04:47Otherwise, why should there be disappointment?
04:49Please think.
04:49Please think.
04:51You find
04:52a python coiling around its prey.
04:56Are you disappointed?
04:57Why are you not disappointed?
05:01Because it's a python.
05:02And you have acknowledged that.
05:03And you have no stakes there.
05:05You don't have to establish to yourself
05:07that the python is the epitome of virtuosity.
05:10So when the python kills,
05:11you are not disappointed.
05:14But when a fellow who is a candidate
05:16to be your boyfriend,
05:18when he is found masturbating in the bathroom,
05:20then you are disappointed.
05:21But you are not supposed to do that.
05:24What else is he supposed to do?
05:25Why do you think he comes to you?
05:27Right now it's in the bathroom.
05:31Tomorrow it will be on your body.
05:33That's all.
05:35But that sounds so crude.
05:38That's it.
05:40That's the jungle.
05:42That's it.
05:44Take it.
05:46That's Maya.
05:47That's this Jagat.
05:48Where you are born.
05:52That's how people are.
05:54And if somebody says,
05:55no, that's not the way I am.
05:56Then he's a liar.
05:58And a hypocrite.
06:00That's how everybody is.
06:05Buddhas are one in a billion.
06:07You won't get them in your batch.
06:11Exceptions are possible.
06:13But you won't get them around yourself.
06:14If you really love the exceptions,
06:18then you will have to go out of your circle.
06:22But you live in your circle and you want to assume virtue there.
06:26You know, these are the 20 people I know.
06:28Out of them,
06:2910 are very good.
06:30That's not going to happen.
06:32That's not going to happen, sir.
06:37You really have to strive to be someone who is not an animal.
06:42And the first step in that strife is addressing your own inner animal.
06:49And even if you have addressed it,
06:54it will take long to discover one in the society.
06:57Because they are very rare blossomings.
07:00But you want to expect that, you know, your family and everybody is a good boy.
07:09Sir, they are not.
07:12No.
07:14My mohalla, my society,
07:16they are good people.
07:18My batch, my college, my school, my office, my colleagues.
07:23They are not.
07:25Don't be disappointed.
07:27Just as you are not disappointed when the python
07:31coils around the rabbit and strangulates it.
07:39It's a very violent sight.
07:40But you are not disappointed.
07:42Yes, you are moved.
07:44But you are not disappointed.
07:45Mind the word.
07:46Disappointment is with respect to expectations.
07:50From the python, you expect nothing else.
07:57The tiger chases the buffalo calf and brings it down.
08:02Does that disappoint you?
08:03No.
08:06Because that was expected.
08:07Similarly, when you have people around yourself,
08:11please expect animal behavior all the time.
08:14And also from yourself.
08:17But because we are self-receptive people,
08:19we do not address our own animal behavior.
08:22We don't want to first of all see that we are animals in the first place.
08:25Therefore, we start expecting that others too are not animals.
08:29We are animals.
08:30Others are also animals.
08:31That's how Prakriti operates.
08:32Instead, you glorify certain things as if they have dignity.
08:40A war has dignity.
08:45It's two rams ramming into each other.
08:48You know ram?
08:49What is a ram?
08:51What is a ram?
08:53Ah.
08:54That big sheep with the horns.
08:56Have you seen them?
08:57They're bloop, bloop, bloop.
08:59These are two animals fighting each other.
09:01Why do you glorify it so much?
09:05There is a resurgent Aryan movement in Nazi one in Germany now.
09:11They are saying no.
09:15Nazism was about our glory, our self-pride, our self-esteem.
09:18We have to resurrect the whole thing.
09:24Why do you want to glorify it?
09:28Why do you want to glorify it?
09:29Take it.
09:29See it.
09:30For what it really is.
09:32There's nothing there.
09:33And you glorify your weddings and marriages.
09:36Why do you glorify them?
09:38What else are you going to do after marriage?
09:39Come on.
09:40Please.
09:46And you glorify everything that is animalistic.
09:48Instead of naming it for what it truly is.
09:53You don't do that.
09:54You give it an aura and a hello.
09:58And a big name.
10:01And you treat it as something divine.
10:09Festivals.
10:11Celebrations.
10:13Parties.
10:14Nice things.
10:15No.
10:15There is a dead animal.
10:20And you have so many vultures there.
10:21That's all.
10:22That's a party.
10:24You can call it an orgy.
10:25It looks very bad, right?
10:35When there is that carcass and there are vultures and jackals around it.
10:39It's a pathetic sight, you say.
10:40Right?
10:41And you are having a so-called non-veg feast.
10:44An entire pig is laid on the table.
10:50And you are.
10:53How is that not the same thing?
10:54How are you not a jackal?
10:59Come on.
10:59Everything that we do is coming from the jungle.
11:03It is animalistic.
11:05Don't be disappointed.
11:06If you will hold expectations from this world, you will be hurt.
11:19Also, if you hold expectations from the world, you will miss the Krishnas and the Buddhas.
11:23Because you will be looking from them in your familiar places.
11:31And they are not to be found there.
11:33You will be looking for them in the familiar way.
11:38Thinking of them as familiar sights.
11:41Displaying familiar behaviors.
11:45And you will miss them totally.
11:46Whatever you do, if it can be mapped against something that the animals do, you should know who you are.
12:02There is this tiger reserve in Rajasthan.
12:06This is today's news.
12:09In order to raise the tiger population, they almost domesticated the tigers.
12:15And the population did rise.
12:18But in the process of domesticating, the tigers became used to being fed rather than hunting.
12:28They became pets rather than hunters.
12:32Their population did rise.
12:33It multiplied.
12:34Now those tigers are killing the same people that fed them.
12:40Because they are not hunters anymore.
12:41They cannot run after their usual game.
12:44The deer and the other faster animals.
12:50The tigers can't run after them.
12:52In fact, one person who has been killed yesterday is an officer.
12:57Who was in charge of taking care of these animals.
13:03And he was dragged away by some tiger.
13:06Tigress actually.
13:08Kankati was her name.
13:09That tigress actually dragged him away.
13:12In full sight of some 50 people.
13:16On a busy road.
13:17And this man was actually the one who raised her.
13:24Raised her.
13:25Fed her.
13:26And she came and she took him away.
13:28This is not ingratitude.
13:34Don't be disappointed.
13:36This is the animal.
13:38Even if you do so much for an animal.
13:40All that the animal cares for is flesh.
13:46Don't be disappointed.
13:47Don't be disappointed.
13:49Don't be disappointed.
13:58Now you see why war and women go together.
14:04Because they both come from the same center within the man.
14:10The primitive center of animal behavior.
14:15Just that we don't want to accept we are animals.
14:17So we glorify.
14:18We glorify our animal behavior and give it very respectable names.
14:26There is nothing respectable about all these things that we do.
14:31There is hardly anything respectable about anything that we do.
14:40And if our actions, our institutions, our contracts.
14:44If they are respectable.
14:46Then so is the behavior of the dog on the street.
14:50Why do you kick him away?
14:52Why do you use dog as a slur?
14:56You do everything that the dog does.
14:58Just in a more intellectual and organized manner.
15:05And intellect again is not consciousness.
15:09Intellect is very much material.
15:12Intellect is a very dead thing.
15:14An intellectual is not necessarily a conscious person.
15:20No.
15:22It's very easy to be intellectual.
15:27Sometimes you don't even choose it.
15:31Your cells, your heredity,
15:33your brain structure is such that you will be an intellectual.
15:37It's not to your credit.
15:40It just happened to you.
15:42Being an intellectual or something that happened to you.
15:45Just as being a carnivore is something that happens to a tiger.
15:51Now consciousness is not something that can happen to you.
15:54It is something that you beseech with love and dedication and self-observation.
16:07And therefore, mind you, there can be no intellectual solution to war.
16:22Because war itself is in some sense intellectual.
16:27War in fact can be justified by intellectual means.
16:30War and intellect come from the same animalistic center within man.
16:38Some of the biggest intellectuals have been war mongers.
16:42They use their intellect in the service of war.
16:44They don't have too much respect for intellectuals.
16:57They don't count for much.
17:04IQ and all is very cheap thing.
17:09It's almost like the color of your eyes or skin.
17:11You are carried away by propaganda, aren't you?
17:23You see all these things draped in virtue,
17:29carrying holy colors.
17:31And you start thinking as if
17:33some great game is being played on.
17:41As if something
17:43dignified,
17:46respectable,
17:47commendable
17:48is happening.
17:52As if you must offer your venerations to the event.
17:56You are just swept away.
18:01And then you get a rude shock.
18:03You find the diplomat's daughter being
18:08served rape threats.
18:11And you say,
18:11how can this happen?
18:20But that's what the whole thing is anyway about.
18:23Take pride only in consciousness.
18:34There is nothing else ever to be proud of.
18:39Take pride in your commitment to freedom and truth.
18:42And if somebody comes and says he is proud of something else,
18:47he is stupid.
18:50And violent and dangerous.
18:54Remember,
18:55the violent instinct that is exhibited
18:58in the form of rape
19:00also gets exhibited
19:02in the form of
19:04all other kinds of aggression.
19:06So, if somebody comes to you
19:08glorifying and justifying
19:11aggression of any kind,
19:13mind you,
19:14he is operating from the same center
19:16that manifests rape also.
19:22There is nothing else to be proud of,
19:24mind you, please.
19:26There is nothing else
19:27that is venerable or honorable
19:28except freedom and truth.
19:30And India has been
19:41a little distinct
19:42from the rest of the world.
19:46Because
19:46India
19:47is one of the few countries,
19:50probably the only country
19:51that chose to have
19:53truth as the basis
19:55of its nationhood.
19:58India as a nation
19:59is respectable
20:00only because
20:01the nation,
20:03this nation,
20:04the Indian nation
20:05is committed to truth.
20:06That's what you find
20:08in your scriptures.
20:09That is also what you find
20:10in your constitution.
20:15If tomorrow,
20:17assume,
20:20somehow the entire population
20:21of India
20:22is gone,
20:25some strange weapon,
20:26some strange weapon
20:27is there,
20:29that leaves all the
20:30infrastructure intact
20:31and only the people
20:34are vaporized
20:35and then some other people
20:37come and occupy
20:38the Indian land
20:39and those people
20:41are bloodthirsty,
20:42ignorant,
20:43insolent.
20:44Would India
20:45still be called great?
20:48India is great
20:49because
20:50because in the air,
20:54in the constitution,
20:55in the culture,
20:56there is still
20:57some remnant
20:58of devotion
21:00to the truth.
21:02The day
21:03that devotion
21:04to the truth
21:05is totally
21:07obliterated,
21:08India will no longer
21:09be great.
21:11Let there be no doubt
21:12about that.
21:14Greatness is not
21:15something
21:15that you just
21:17get
21:18in inheritance.
21:21Greatness is something
21:22that you work for.
21:23Greatness is something
21:24you earn.
21:27Tomorrow,
21:29some other people
21:31occupy India.
21:31They change the constitution.
21:34They say,
21:34we exist just to
21:36invade other lands
21:37and take away
21:39their women
21:39and take away
21:40whatever,
21:41their property.
21:42That's what we exist for.
21:43Would you still
21:43call India great?
21:45No.
21:45the only
21:47greatness
21:48lies in,
21:49remember,
21:50the eternal
21:51principles of
21:52Vedanta,
21:53truth
21:53and freedom,
21:55satya and mukti.
21:58So,
21:58if a person
21:59resonates
22:02with those
22:03principles,
22:03they are not
22:04principles really,
22:05but for the purpose
22:05of this,
22:06let me call them
22:06principles.
22:07So,
22:07if a person
22:08resonates with
22:09those principles,
22:09that person
22:10becomes great.
22:11That person
22:11has become
22:12great
22:13because he is
22:14now aligned
22:14with greatness.
22:17India,
22:17the nation
22:18is great
22:18because it
22:19is aligned
22:20with greatness.
22:21India,
22:21the nation
22:22is great
22:22only as long
22:23as it is
22:24aligned with
22:24greatness.
22:32Are you
22:32getting it?
22:34So,
22:36in context
22:39of the war,
22:40if you really
22:40want to make
22:41India great,
22:43first of all,
22:43discover where
22:44true greatness
22:45lies
22:45and strive
22:48to align
22:48yourself
22:49and the people
22:50around you,
22:51systems,
22:51institutions
22:52around you
22:52with that
22:53greatness.
22:55Only that
22:56will keep
22:57India great.
23:00Not all
23:01kinds of
23:02xenophobia
23:02and jingoism
23:03and war
23:04mongering
23:05and other
23:06kinds of
23:07stupidities.
23:10The kind
23:11that you saw
23:11on national
23:12TV
23:12and the
23:13various
23:13channels.
23:33Thank you,
23:34Acharya.
23:34Gene.
23:35Welcome.
