00:00I want space for myself. That's what every species want.

00:04What was the rationale for the entire World War II?

00:06Hitler said that Germans are a superior lot, a higher race,

00:10and Germany does not have too much land and the population is burgeoning,

00:14and that more land was to be had from Eastern Europe.

00:17So he attacked Poland.

00:19It says that when he attacked Poland,

00:21Britain and France declared war on Germany,

00:23so Hitler had to fight on the Western Front also.

00:27Otherwise, what he wanted was land from Eastern Europe.

00:30Invasive species. I don't care for others.

00:33That's the law of the jungle.

00:34And Prakriti is very happy with that.

00:36I have to survive.

00:37And for my survival, if somebody has to be wiped out, I'll wipe him out.

00:41That's it. Simple.

00:42We want to kind of pretend that the action has some kind of moral basis to it.

00:48But there is no moral basis.

00:50Our problem is that we want to write the whole thing in the language of morality.

00:54And in that language, this story cannot be written.

00:58As long as we remain things of the jungle, this will continue.

01:02You don't need to transcend to become enlightened.

01:04You need to transcend so that you become human beings.

01:08Then what is the solution?

01:09The real solution is...

01:10Namaste, Acharya Ji.

01:15This is regarding the recent war which is happening.

01:18So, we see that one country seems to have the entitlement to take the preemptive actions

01:25to make sure that they do exist in future also.

01:29Because they have the existential sense.

01:31Or that's how they perceive it.

01:32If we look at the individual level or at the country level,

01:36that if we face a situation like this,

01:39then up to what extent we have the right hand to defend?

01:42Yes, yes, yes.

01:43They have that.

01:44Now, they have taken a preemptive action.

01:46Is it valid to...

01:48I mean, take an action which can completely destroy the other country?

01:52So, you are trying to analyse the whole thing in a moral framework.

02:00Whether it is right?

02:02What can be the outcome?

02:06To what extent can one go?

02:08Those are the questions you are posing.

02:11See, in Prakriti, morality does not exist.

02:19Right?

02:19In Prakriti, in the animal world, morality does not exist.

02:26The animal world just strives for survival.

02:32And anything that threatens my survival has to be obliterated.

02:38That's it.

02:38That's Prakriti for you.

02:41That's the plants.

02:44That's the microbes.

02:47That's the animals.

02:48The birds.

02:50That's the entire game of evolution.

02:53I have to survive.

02:55And for my survival,

02:56if somebody has to be wiped out,

02:58I will wipe him out.

02:59That's it.

02:59Simple.

03:00There is no morality really there.

03:02Though, being human beings,

03:04you want to frame it in moralistic terms.

03:08We want to kind of pretend

03:09that the action

03:11has some kind of moral basis to it.

03:16Hmm?

03:19But there is no moral basis.

03:22Really, there is no moral basis.

03:25So, they can do whatever they want.

03:27Obviously.

03:28Obviously.

03:29Though whatever is done

03:31would always be framed

03:33in principled terms.

03:38We are operating on this principle.

03:40We are operating on that principle.

03:42Iran,

03:44Israel,

03:46Hamas,

03:46Jordan,

03:49U.S.

03:51Pakistan.

03:53These are all going to be the parties there.

03:56Hmm?

03:57They'll all have

03:59their

04:00set of

04:02noble and moral principles

04:04to court.

04:06Israel will say,

04:09you know,

04:09operating on this principle

04:10have we attacked.

04:12And Iran will say,

04:13oh,

04:14we are against Zionism.

04:17And the U.S.

04:18will say,

04:18it is for the sake of world peace

04:20that we are entering the war.

04:22So, there is some principle,

04:23some principle,

04:24some principle.

04:25In the jungle,

04:26there is no principle really.

04:27The only principle is,

04:28I have to exist.

04:33Hmm?

04:34I was reading somewhere,

04:36do-gooders

04:38in the name of

04:38climate crisis mitigation,

04:42tried planting

04:43trees

04:44close to a forested area.

04:49Hmm?

04:49They think that if they plant trees,

04:51then they can

04:52arrest

04:53climate change

04:54without even

04:55going into the facts

04:56and the numbers.

04:57I quoted the numbers.

04:59Because such greenwashing

05:00has been

05:01happening since long

05:03and has become

05:03even more pervasive today.

05:06people think that

05:08by planting

05:09one trees

05:09or ten trees,

05:11they have done their bit

05:12which is not even

05:13one percent

05:13of the total emissions

05:15that they are

05:17annually responsible for.

05:20The tree cannot

05:20absorb much.

05:21forest.

05:22So, somebody planted some trees

05:26on the borders

05:29of a forest.

05:30You know what the trees did?

05:35They ate up the forest.

05:39Because,

05:40because the forest

05:42was not used to

05:43that particular species.

05:45these are called

05:48invasive species.

05:51So, all the native species

05:53of trees,

05:53they started disappearing.

05:55And when the native trees

05:56started disappearing,

05:58the birds that used

05:59to live on those trees,

06:00they also started disappearing.

06:02The entire ecosystem

06:03was on the brink of collapse.

06:04It's not that

06:07just human beings

06:08want to have

06:09their own survival

06:10at the cost of

06:12other human beings

06:12or nations want to

06:14survive at the cost

06:15of other nations.

06:16Even trees want to

06:18survive at the cost

06:19of other trees.

06:21There could be

06:22six trees of

06:23a particular species

06:25or mixed species.

06:26you bring in

06:29one invasive species

06:30and all those

06:32six would be gone.

06:33This one species

06:34would have

06:34proliferated itself.

06:37I want space

06:38for myself.

06:39That's what

06:39every species want.

06:43What was the

06:44rationale

06:44for the entire

06:46World War II?

06:49Hitler said

06:50the Germans

06:51are a superior lot.

06:53A higher race.

06:55And Germany

06:56does not have

06:57too much land

06:57and the population

06:58is burgeoning.

07:01Most populated

07:01country

07:02in that region.

07:04So, the Germans

07:05deserve more land.

07:09And that more land

07:10was to be had

07:11from Eastern Europe.

07:14So, he attacked

07:15Poland.

07:16It says that

07:17when he attacked

07:17Poland,

07:19Britain and France

07:19declared war on

07:20Germany.

07:21So, Hitler had to

07:22fight on the

07:23Western Front also.

07:24Otherwise,

07:25what he wanted

07:26was land.

07:29Land from

07:29Eastern Europe.

07:33Invasive species.

07:35I need to have

07:37stuff for myself,

07:37you see.

07:38I don't care for

07:39others.

07:40That's the law

07:40of the jungle.

07:41And Prakriti

07:42is very happy

07:42with that.

07:45Our problem

07:46is with that

07:46we want to

07:48write the whole

07:49thing in the

07:50language of

07:50morality.

07:51And in that

07:52language,

07:53this story

07:53cannot be

07:54written.

07:57What is

07:58happening is

07:58just a game

08:00of our

08:00very primitive

08:01instincts.

08:02I need more

08:03land.

08:04I need to

08:05secure my own

08:06physical survival.

08:07I need more

08:10land, so you

08:10know, there is

08:11the West Bank,

08:12there is the

08:12Gaza, there is

08:15the Jerusalem

08:17problem.

08:21I need to

08:21ensure my

08:22survival.

08:22so, before he

08:24strikes at me, I

08:25can strike

08:26preemptively.

08:30And in the

08:30language of

08:31survival, that

08:32does sound fine,

08:33does it not?

08:35Or do you

08:35wait for the

08:36enemy to amass

08:37nuclear capacity

08:38and bomb you

08:38out of existence?

08:41Israel is a

08:41small country,

08:42half the size

08:43of Keral.

08:46You take a

08:47few largest

08:50districts of

08:50India and you

08:51find Israel is

08:52comparable.

08:56In the same

08:56league.

08:59That's how big

09:00Israel is.

09:00You drop two

09:01nuclear weapons

09:02there and the

09:02entire place is

09:03gone.

09:07Not even

09:07one crore

09:08jil, 70, 75

09:09lakh.

09:10That's all.

09:17Do you get

09:17this?

09:19So, then

09:21what is the

09:21solution?

09:22The real solution

09:23is to not

09:25let these

09:26animals remain

09:27animals.

09:27That is the

09:28only real

09:28solution.

09:30As long as

09:31animals remain

09:32animals in

09:33human form,

09:34they will

09:35fight for

09:35survival.

09:35your entire

09:40body is a

09:40killing machine.

09:44What do

09:44the WBCs and

09:46the T-cells

09:47exist in the

09:47body for?

09:49We are

09:49killing all the

09:49time.

09:51In Prakriti,

09:52killing is not

09:53violence.

09:55Killing is

09:55movement.

09:56Killing is

09:57action.

09:58Killing is the

09:58norm.

09:59Even as the

10:01two of us

10:01talk to each

10:02other, our

10:02bodies are

10:03busy killing.

10:06The entire

10:07air around us

10:08is full of

10:08microbes of

10:09all kinds.

10:10And they

10:10keep entering

10:11the body.

10:12Water, air,

10:13food, skin,

10:14they are all

10:14the time

10:15penetrating your

10:16body.

10:17And your

10:18body is a

10:18killing machine.

10:19Any foreign

10:19thing that

10:20enters your

10:20body, your

10:21body fights it

10:22and kills

10:22it.

10:25That's

10:25Prakriti.

10:27And you

10:28cannot say

10:28your body

10:29is immoral.

10:31Your body

10:31is Prakriti.

10:34The lion

10:35is hunting

10:35down the

10:36deers.

10:38The eagle

10:39is swooping

10:40down on the

10:40sparrow.

10:43That's

10:43Prakriti.

10:44Killing all

10:45the time.

10:48The cute

10:49little bird.

10:52Just ate

10:53up the

10:54little insect.

10:56And the

10:56bird is so

10:57cute.

10:58But it's

10:58killing insects

10:59all the

10:59time.

11:01That's

11:01Prakriti.

11:04To each

11:04his own.

11:05Everybody is

11:06concerned only

11:06about their

11:07own survival.

11:09That's

11:09Prakriti.

11:11Israel is

11:11saying, my

11:12survival is

11:13threatened.

11:13I will

11:14attack.

11:17As long

11:18as we

11:18remain things

11:19of the

11:20jungle, this

11:21will continue.

11:22wisdom is

11:27the solution.

11:29You don't

11:30need to

11:31transcend to

11:31become

11:32enlightened.

11:32You need

11:33to transcend

11:35so that you

11:35become human

11:36beings.

11:37We are

11:37beasts.

11:38We are

11:38beasts in

11:39human form.

11:40That's how

11:41we are

11:41born.

11:41And that's

11:42not being

11:43abusive or

11:44being offensive.

11:46That's being

11:46factual.

11:47We are

11:47beasts.

11:48That's it.

11:49We are

11:50beasts with

11:50intellect.

11:51with nuclear

11:53scientists.

11:55With high

11:55IQs.

11:56We are

11:56beasts.

12:01So, we

12:02need

12:02transcendence

12:03so that we

12:04can become

12:05human beings.

12:07Enlightenment,

12:07etc. is a

12:08far cry.

12:08fantastic.

12:11Fantastic.

12:11I'm sick.
