00:00All the top bosses here, or let's say the masters here, are probably doing very depraved acts as mentioned in the Epstein Files, right?
00:10So how does one justify contributing into a system that ultimately feeds such vulgarity?
00:17What kind of innocence do you carry?
00:20What do you think that fellow has earned his billions for?
00:25But he is supposed to be a good fellow, after all he is a celebrity.
00:27I worship five celebrities, only two of them are corrupt.
00:32The remaining three are all right.
00:34No, the remaining three are yet not exposed.
00:36What we call as the homo sapiens are creatures of the jungle.
00:41Yes, the intellect is there, but the intellect is governed by a very animalistic point.
00:47And if you don't understand this, you will be shocked again and again and again.
00:51He didn't become a politician to be noble.
00:54He became a politician to fulfill his own wild desires.
00:57And if somebody is earning so much, what do you think he is earning it for?
01:02Charity?
01:03Because he wants to make the world a better place.
01:05Why would he not say, I want sex?
01:08And if there is some kind of a pimp available who can get me sex from here, there, international girls, I'll engage that pimp.
01:18Children are being abused because a lot of young people like you are choosing to...
01:24Pleasure to meet you, sir.
01:34So my question is, as an engineering grad in IIT, you'll probably end up, let's say, in a tech firm, a VC-funded entrepreneurship or civil services.
01:42But nowadays, with all the recent news we are getting, all the top bosses here, or let's say the masters here, are probably doing very depraved acts as mentioned in the Epstein Files, right?
01:53You take VCs like Peter Thiel or like Bill Gates, everyone like that.
01:56So how does one justify contributing one's intelligence and labor into a system that ultimately feeds such vulgarity?
02:04How do we handle the feeling of having blood in our hands?
02:08And any scenario other than outright rebellion feels like being compliant to the extreme vulgarity that is taking place, right?
02:15So as somebody who's probably going to end up in the workforce in a couple of years, how do I deal with this mental thought, right?
02:20Because the system in itself is extremely depraved.
02:23You get the question?
02:24Yes.
02:26What he's saying is, in recent years, in fact, recent decades, we have had a series of scandals exposed.
02:38The latest one pertaining to these Epstein Files.
02:44He's saying, now I study here, same campus, this campus.
02:49He studies here and then he would be picked up by a tech firm.
02:56Or a consulting firm, some kind of management, something.
03:00Or he would proceed for his MBA or MS.
03:05UPSC too, he mentioned.
03:07You think, but it doesn't matter where I go.
03:10Now, the skeletons are all tumbling out of the cupboard and it seems my bosses would all be very depraved of character.
03:27That's the word he used.
03:29Depravity.
03:29So, how do I convince myself to work for such people?
03:35What's the point in being here, this institution of higher education and then proceeding to even better institutions if at the end of it all,
03:52I have to work for some pervert, some monster, that's the question.
04:03But why did it have to take a scandal for you to know this?
04:10Why does it demand a scandal?
04:12Is it not obvious?
04:14What's the whole thing about?
04:18Your question should be, how did the persona and the publicity and the propaganda succeed in convincing you
04:29that the ones who hog the limelight, the celebrities, the entrepreneurs, the VCs, the politicians, the bureaucrats,
04:39that they are all at least half-decent and semi-noble people.
04:46How did you allow yourself to be convinced of that?
04:49That must be the question.
04:52Today you are saying, I stand shocked, sir.
04:56I stand shocked.
04:57I stand shocked.
04:59The gods have feet of clay.
05:02The ones that are used to worship, river, idolize, all my role models seem to be collapsing.
05:11Why?
05:11Because, because a certain scandal has broken out.
05:17Same thing happens every couple of years, right?
05:23You remember a certain leaks?
05:25You remember, what happened to the fellow?
05:30What happened?
05:33Ostracized, expunged.
05:34We know anywhere in the system, all the work that we do, if you work for like Arsenal's GDP, it goes to political leaders.
05:51If you work for like a firm, it's for shareholders.
05:54And anything that we do gives values to the ones in the top.
05:58You see, it is the disruption, the rupture, that prompts this question.
06:05What you are saying is, I work for the government.
06:09And probably, it stuffs the pockets of a politician or a senior bureaucrat.
06:15I work for a firm and I do not know what the principal stakeholder is going to do with the profits I hand him over, right?
06:27So, this comes as a disruption.
06:30I don't know who my bosses would be.
06:31I don't know who would be ultimately benefiting from my work and what kind of, what should I say, character he holds and what kind of use he puts that money to.
06:40So, this disruption is what is bothering you.
06:45My question is, not the disruption, but the belief prior to the disruption.
06:51How did you allow yourself to be carried away by the idea that the ones holding power in this big wide world are all noble and decent people?
07:07How did you get this idea in the first place?
07:09Because, in absence of that idea, there would have been no disruption of this kind.
07:18First of all, there is a belief.
07:20And now the belief stands challenged.
07:23That's what is prompting this question.
07:26Do you see this?
07:27So, I want to go to the roots of the question.
07:29From where does the belief come in the first place?
07:32How did you allow a certain propaganda to convince you?
07:36And why is that important to see?
07:38Because, if you don't see that even now, the propaganda rolls on and you will not always have scandals exposed to shock you into reality.
07:52Most of their misdeeds remain hidden, remain buried.
07:59You will not always get to know.
08:01Therefore, you must not wait for events.
08:07You must be clear at the level of principles.
08:10We know in nuclear physics, what the simple concept of critical mass is like, right?
08:24We know what critical mass is.
08:26Simple thing, very simple.
08:27Now, a ball of thorium, uranium, plutonium, something.
08:37We can play with it and we can toss it around and we can throw it at someone and nothing is really going to happen.
08:44Except maybe some radioactive exposure, which might not be too dangerous.
08:50But you do not know the principle of critical mass, right?
08:57You do not know.
08:59So, you take the ball, you load it with more of the same metal and you keep doing that.
09:06And then, one day in 50 years, there is a massive explosion.
09:15What would you choose to be educated by?
09:20The event or the principle?
09:24Would you wait for 50 years for a massive explosion to happen?
09:29Which is a rare event, as we know.
09:31Would you wait for that explosion to happen, so that you can get educated in something about the nucleus?
09:37Or would you rather learn the principle itself, so you know very well in advance where the danger lies?
09:45What would you rather be educated in?
09:48The event or the principle?
09:50The principle.
09:52No, it's the event that's bothering you.
09:55I want you to go to the principle.
09:57And that will secure you in a much better and deeper way.
10:04One thing is, somebody tells you, oh, do not play with uranium balls.
10:10Something bad can happen.
10:12Right?
10:13One thing is, you know the principle.
10:15You know exactly how to calculate the critical mass, the radius of the ball and such things.
10:23What would you rather want?
10:25You would want to be, to be illuminated about the principle, right?
10:33And the principle is, now we come to that, the principle is, what we call as the homo sapiens are creatures of the jungle.
10:43Yes, the intellect is there, but the intellect is governed by a very animalistic point.
10:53Therefore, the only principle that truly runs the world, this world, this world created by all of us, is the principle of greed and power.
11:09That's, that's the principle that runs this world.
11:16Whenever the primitive animalistic ego will operate, it will operate in a violent way.
11:26It will operate in an exploitative way.
11:28Real nobility or decency is something the ego is allergic to.
11:42Whenever you look at a fellow, the default assumption must be, I am looking at an animal.
11:49An animal clad in formals, riding a luxury car, working a laptop, but nevertheless, still an animal, a gorilla in necktie.
12:09Now, you won't be surprised, but you are carried away by propaganda, you start thinking that all these celebrities you idolize so much are actually good people.
12:24You are violating the principle, you don't understand the principle.
12:27The principle is, the only thing that separates us from animals is the intellect, not the centre the intellect is operated from.
12:43We share that centre, with primates, with mammals, with insects, with reptiles, same thing, much the same thing.
13:00How does the flesh of a lion taste, somebody tell me?
13:12How does the flesh of lion taste?
13:16Nobody tasted it?
13:18Why?
13:19But you have tasted buffalos, you have tasted goats, sheep, chicken.
13:25Why?
13:26Because they are weak.
13:27And that's the principle that runs this world.
13:30Why don't you understand?
13:32Why don't you understand?
13:33And if you don't understand this, you will be shocked again and again and again.
13:41We are brutal people.
13:46Made worse by the intellect, the IQ.
13:54And IQ gives us the capacity to organize.
13:58Do you know what we have done?
13:59Close to one-third of the land mass of animals on this planet today is that of Homo sapiens.
14:15Almost the entire remaining two-third is of the animals that Homo sapiens have bred for their consumption.
14:23Mostly cows, buffalos, other cattle, etc.
14:24Some three-four percent is that of truly wild animals.
14:40That's who we are.
14:41If something is of use to us, we proliferate it, multiply it, produce it, factory produce it.
14:50If something is not of use to us, we simply kill it, obliterate it.
14:54That's who we are.
14:55That's who we are.
14:56What do you think?
14:57You are going to serve your corporate master and they are going to be benevolent to you?
15:07Behind that formal corporate smile is a wild face with very sharp teeth.
15:20He pays you only as long as you earn him 10x in return.
15:31And if somebody is earning so much, what do you think he is earning it for?
15:35Charity?
15:36Because he wants to make the world a better place?
15:38No, for his own consumption.
15:39That's the principle of the jungle.
15:41Nobody does anything for anybody.
15:43There are no free lunches.
15:45If the fellow has earned so much, why would he not say I want sex?
15:52And if there is some kind of a pimp available who can get me sex from here, there, international
16:00girls, I'll engage that pimp.
16:04What kind of innocence do you carry?
16:07Should I call it innocence or simply?
16:11Stupidity?
16:12What?
16:13What do you think that fellow has earned his billions for?
16:21Why?
16:22So that you can lead a better life?
16:26No.
16:27So that he can consume away the earth.
16:29That's the only principle.
16:30There is no other principle.
16:32But you are swept away by nice sounding words and smiling faces.
16:40And you feel this person is actually making the earth a better place.
16:49No fellow exists to make the earth a better place.
16:55They all exist to eat out the earth as we have already done.
17:02You know where the doomsday clock stands as of this moment.
17:06Just 85 seconds from the final catastrophe.
17:15But such Neveet.
17:18Such cute stupidity.
17:21But he is supposed to be a good fellow after all he is a celebrity.
17:27But he is supposed to be noble after all he is a politician.
17:31He didn't become a politician to be noble.
17:34He became a politician to fulfill his own wild desires.
17:38That's the principle of the jungle.
17:43And the only exceptions are the sages and the saints.
17:51And they are extremely rare.
17:53They are the only exceptions.
17:55A Buddha is an exception.
17:57But on this stage we aren't talking of a Buddha right now, are we?
18:02Apart from a Buddha, do not accept selflessness from anybody.
18:08And if somebody has power, they will put it to the meanest, lowest kind of use.
18:15But away from the public eye.
18:18So you won't see.
18:20So you won't see and you will remain deluded and you will keep thinking,
18:23Ah, no, no, no, no, no.
18:25I worship five celebrities, only two of them are corrupt.
18:29The remaining three are alright.
18:31No, the remaining three are yet not exposed.
18:35That's the principle.
18:37Don't wait for events.
18:39Stick to principles.
18:42When events come, they come as a disruption.
18:46They shock.
18:47And shocks are not pleasant experiences.
18:49Right?
18:51Are they?
19:03Even if we accept, right?
19:05Accept the idea that everybody is sort of let's say corrupt or bad.
19:08It's not about a naivety here, right?
19:10It's about the real consequences.
19:11So we do not have any other option.
19:14So if we accept, even if we accept everybody's corrupt per se,
19:18if you are being pragmatic, right?
19:19If you want to work something in the world,
19:21the only option to not being compliant to them abusing children is probably to kill them, right?
19:26That's the only thing.
19:27No, no.
19:28How?
19:29Had you known well in advance, would you have been here in the first place?
19:33You are here in the first place because you fell prey to propaganda.
19:41And what I am saying to you is something you might not very frequently hear.
19:46So pay attention.
19:48Your idols have feet of clay.
19:50You are saying we don't have options.
19:57Why are you succumbing so easily?
20:00You are more powerful than that.
20:02And sitting in front of me, to me he is saying there are no options except the corporate.
20:12Ha ha ha.
20:13Then what am I doing?
20:15No.
20:16I found my own way.
20:17I didn't copy anybody.
20:18You find your own way out.
20:20But you will find no way if at this early age, being so young, you have surrendered so meekly.
20:27Saying, but I don't have any options.
20:29What do I do?
20:30What do I do?
20:31Once I too was your age, sitting in at IIT.
20:34Had I said that there are no options but to toe the line.
20:39To either become a technocrat or a bureaucrat or a manager or something.
20:44I wouldn't have been sitting here in front of you.
20:47I wasn't trying to be disrespectful, right?
20:52I wasn't trying to be disrespectful.
20:53You can be disrespectful.
20:54I don't mind that.
20:55But don't be untruthful.
20:58I don't come here to garner respect from you.
21:02I come here so that we can uncover the truth together.
21:05The truth is the priority.
21:07When you say that you don't have an option, you are being untruthful.
21:11How many of you would want to say you don't have an option?
21:15That kind of helplessness, seriously?
21:18That kind of meekness?
21:19That kind of disability?
21:21That kind of reluctance to challenge life as it is?
21:26Does that behove a young person?
21:29Does it?
21:31That's the answer.
21:34See that the world stands all ready to entrap you and then refuse to be entrapped.
21:44That's what youth is all about, right?
21:46What else are you young for?
21:48Just to have sex?
21:50No.
21:51Not really.
21:57Don't say I don't have options.
21:59That sounds so jarring.
22:01I don't have options.
22:03You always have options.
22:05The very name of consciousness is choice.
22:10You know what does not have options?
22:12Inert matter.
22:14Laws of inertia, they apply to matter.
22:18And what does inertia mean?
22:20Choicelessness.
22:22The ball goes up.
22:24It is choiceless.
22:25It has no option.
22:26It will have to obey gravity and fall.
22:29You roll the ball and if there is very little friction, it will keep rolling.
22:35It has no option.
22:37Inert matter, dead matter, unconscious matter does not have choices.
22:42But you are youthful, conscious young beings.
22:48If you don't see choices, generate them.
22:51That's your power.
22:54And don't insult yourself by refusing your own power.
22:59Somebody comes and tells you, you don't have any ability, any agency.
23:08That doesn't matter.
23:10But when you start telling yourself, I have no ability, no agency.
23:15That's lack of self-esteem.
23:20Don't do that.
23:23Even in your worst situation, always tell yourself, I still have a choice.
23:29Never say, I have to necessarily follow the world.
23:32Never, never.
23:34You are not born to obey.
23:37You are not born to disobey either.
23:40You are born to live by the heart.
23:45And the heart is always in love with the truth.
23:49It does not like statements of weakness.
23:55Nobody enjoys that.
23:57Do you enjoy that?
23:58Do you enjoy being weak?
24:00Then why choose to be weak?
24:02Simple.
24:03And now that I admit that I have still not comprehended your question.
24:13Please enlighten me.
24:14No sir, but again that even if I accept I can do something, it doesn't really change what's
24:18happening in the world, right?
24:20Sir, sir, sir, sir.
24:23What I'm saying applies not only to you, but to him, but to her, but to everybody here.
24:29It's not that you are the only exception.
24:32The only rare, noble, great exception who will go out to live a truthful life and change
24:38the world.
24:39What I'm saying applies to everybody.
24:41We are the ones who have brought the world to the stage it is in, right?
24:46We are the creator of the world as it stands today.
24:50We change as it changes.
24:52We change ourselves, the world changes.
24:54As simple as that.
24:55Right?
24:56And frozenness, lack of flexibility, lack of admission of new possibilities is something
25:11that belongs to 80 year olds, not 18 year olds.
25:1618 year olds should be vibrating with possibility.
25:21Not helplessness saying, oh no, but this is utopian.
25:25This cannot happen.
25:26Even if I try to, nothing will change.
25:30One does what he can.
25:33One does the best one can.
25:35After that, fine.
25:37Once you have put everything into what is right, you don't even remain to wait for the
25:44result or evaluate the result.
25:46Because you have already given everything that you could.
25:49It's almost like playing a five setter in tennis and then collapsing.
25:55You don't even survive to look at the result, to celebrate it or bemoan it.
26:02One does the best one can.
26:05It does matter because children are being abused here.
26:08Right?
26:09Of course, children are being abused because a lot of young people like you are choosing
26:14to serve those masters.
26:16Once a lot of young people like you refuse to serve those masters, the kids will be saved.
26:22So, don't locate the problem and the responsibility somewhere out there.
26:31The problem and the responsibility first of all have to be seen here.
26:36And then begins the solution.
26:39Do you understand this?
26:42It's very easy, see, to pass a resolution condemning all those who are named in certain files or whose names are tainted by certain scandals.
26:56And we can say, oh, this one, this one, this one is at fault.
27:02The thing is that no, this one is at fault.
27:07There is a system, there is a principle behind it.
27:12There is a uniformity, there is a continuity.
27:17By, by castigating certain individuals and exonerating others, you are trying to pretend as if the system is alright.
27:27However, there were some unruly individuals who proved to be an exception.
27:33No, no, no, no, no.
27:35It's not that some unruly individuals are proving to be an exception.
27:38That system produces all individuals of the same kind.
27:44Same kind.
27:46And if kids are being abused, that's not merely by certain people but even in their families.
27:52Why do you think kids are being abused only by certain named specific individuals?
27:58If there is one category at the receiving end of the worst kind of abuse on this planet, among our species.
28:09Other species obviously, they are the most abused.
28:12But within our species, if there is one most abused category, it is kids.
28:17In homes, at schools, everywhere.
28:19And not just physically.
28:21You are conditioning a kid all the time.
28:23How is that not abuse?
28:26You are loading the kid with beliefs, with a particular culture, with a particular religion, with dogma.
28:34How is that not abuse?
28:36One could even argue that that's worse than physical abuse.
28:40And that's happening everywhere.
28:42That's not happening only at certain specific places by certain specific individuals.
28:49Right?
28:50And that's happening because we are who we are.
28:53Creatures of the jungle.
28:55Jungle.
28:56Right?
28:57And once that is seen, maybe there is some possibility of emerging from the jungle.
29:03But if you keep pretending that just by wearing formals and a nice sweatshirt or a decent jeans or something, whatever that I am wearing.
29:13Just by wearing this, you have become cultured and civilized and humane.
29:19That's the biggest lie.
29:21That's the lie that humanity has told itself throughout history.
29:25That lie is what needs to be called out.
29:28Not just certain individuals.
29:30So, thank you so much sir.
29:40Hello, my name is Ethena Dutta.
29:42I am from North Bengal.
29:44I have been connected with Acharya Ji since last three years through YouTube.
29:51Like first, I started listening to him through YouTube's videos.
29:56Later on, I have joined him in Gita Satra since last three months, three to seven months it's been.
30:04And I must say that everything that he teaches is a very eye opening to everyone.
30:13I will recommend each and everybody to please listen to him at first because each and every word that he is, his choice of words, the way of presentation, the Doha's that he explicitly chooses for each and every topic, they are just mesmerizing and they are just beautiful.
30:35And I think with those Doha's, one can connect with the topic very easily.
30:41And it's a beautiful experience with Acharya Ji.
30:45I think the generation of today, we are very much privileged to have him with us over here.
30:51So, it's my request, a humble request to everybody.
30:54Please listen to him.
30:56Please follow him.
30:57Please come join to Gita Samagam.
31:00Acharya Ji.
31:01And you will have an extraordinary experience with him.
31:04You will learn a lot.
31:06More than learning, you will unlearn a lot that are not necessary to keep with you like fear, nervousness, jealousy and all other those things.
31:18So, please come and join Acharya Ji.
