00:00What's happening in the Middle East?
00:04Is it really a geopolitical crisis?
00:07No, at the heart of it lies religion.
00:12Humanity has forgotten the meaning of religion.
00:17Across the world we see people defending temples, mosques and churches, even to the point of conflict.
00:23Structures of marble and stone and this and that, they have very peripheral relation to religion.
00:29Here is somebody who is madly in love with the timeless.
00:34You are feeling a little tense, go to a place of worship and you'll say, you know, I feel peaceful.
00:40Very nice vibes, but that's not the function of the place of worship.
00:44And then what happens to the pundits and the malvis and the fathers, the priests, the entire clergy?
00:50What happens to them? You're out of business, jobless.
00:53So all those places are turned into soothing experiences.
00:56And then we put up an Instagram post.
00:59See, how relaxing.
01:01Is that religion?
01:02I sit in front of Guruji and I feel so peaceful.
01:05This that we call as religion is our own plaything, our own toy.
01:11Real religion, we are very, very afraid of that.
01:15Very afraid.
01:20Namaste Achari ji.
01:21You often say that spirituality is about inner transformation and not about any ritual or identity.
01:27Yet across the world we see people defending temples, mosques and churches, even to the point of conflict.
01:32How do you see this contradiction?
01:37That becomes a necessity, an obligation.
01:41When you have convinced yourself that you do not have the real thing, not only do you not have the
01:47real thing,
01:48the real thing is beyond your practical reach.
01:53Then what option do you have?
01:56You will defend whatever you have, even if in your heart you know there is nothing much to it.
02:07Think of the poor man.
02:09Think of the poor man.
02:11The deliberately poor man.
02:14Right?
02:16All that he has in his broken hut
02:20is one broken glass and two punctured utensils.
02:25But go, try to rob him of it.
02:30And you have had it.
02:33He will break your head.
02:35He will break your head.
02:37Because that is all he thinks he has.
02:40He may have a great treasure.
02:46But if that treasure is not known,
02:49it is not available.
02:52Right?
02:53Knowing is accessing.
02:57Having doesn't matter.
03:00Access matters.
03:03Am I right?
03:04You may have something great with you,
03:06but if you can't access it,
03:09if you can't access it,
03:11do you really have it?
03:12No.
03:13That's our situation.
03:15That's, as I had said,
03:16human condition all over the world since centuries.
03:21There is something great that we have,
03:25but it's not accessible.
03:28But it's not accessible.
03:29So, whatever is accessible
03:31is taken as something great.
03:37What is really great
03:40is not accessible.
03:42So, whatever is accessible
03:43is labeled as great.
03:48And then, there would be not just minor fights,
03:51but world wars.
03:54Because in your perception,
03:57that's all that you have.
04:00That's the sum total,
04:01hundred percent
04:06of your being,
04:07your existence,
04:09your position.
04:10That's all that you have.
04:13Don't say that
04:14what he has
04:15is very little.
04:17Talk in terms of percentages.
04:21If all you have
04:22is five rupees
04:24and I take away
04:25those five rupees
04:28and you
04:29start stamping your feet
04:31and pulling my hair,
04:33somebody may come and say,
04:34just for five rupees
04:35she is doing all this.
04:36It's not that she has,
04:38it's not a thing of five rupees.
04:40It's about
04:41hundred percent
04:42of what she has.
04:44In her own perception,
04:46all she had
04:47was just
04:48five rupees.
04:50So, I have not taken away
04:51five rupees.
04:52I have taken away
04:53everything,
04:54hundred percent
04:55that she had
04:56in her perception.
05:00Contrast.
05:02When would it be possible
05:04that she willingly
05:06keeps aside
05:07the five rupees?
05:10When is that going to happen?
05:16When she knows
05:18she has
05:18for example
05:19a billion rupees,
05:23now if she drops
05:24a five rupee note
05:25or even
05:26a thousand
05:27or two thousand
05:27or something
05:28rupee note,
05:30she won't as much
05:31even bother
05:32to pick it up.
05:34Would she?
05:35Why?
05:37It's strange.
05:38For five rupees
05:39she was prepared
05:40to kill me.
05:41Now for thousand rupees
05:43she doesn't bother.
05:44How did this happen?
05:47Percentage.
05:48That five rupees
05:49was hundred percent
05:50of what she had.
05:53This one thousand
05:54is not even
05:55point one percent
05:56of what she has discovered.
05:58The whole thing
05:59is about
06:01having access
06:02to your inner richness.
06:04When you discover
06:06that you are
06:06a billionaire inside,
06:08then you stop
06:09quarrelling
06:10for these petty
06:10things.
06:14Humanity
06:16has
06:17forgotten
06:18the meaning
06:18of religion.
06:22The
06:22very literal meaning,
06:24the etymology
06:25is
06:26going back
06:27to oneself.
06:29Somebody talked
06:30of Adhyatma.
06:32Much the same thing.
06:35Knowing yourself
06:36better.
06:37In fact,
06:38Adhyatma is
06:38more refined
06:39than religion.
06:43That one
06:44comes from
06:44the Greek Latin
06:45side,
06:45this one
06:46from Sanskrit.
06:48But they point
06:49in much the same
06:50direction.
06:51Going back
06:52to yourself.
06:54Not going
06:55to some sky
06:56or to some place
06:57or to some river
06:58or to
06:58something,
07:00something
07:02to worship
07:03and obtain
07:03favours.
07:04No,
07:04not that.
07:05That is not
07:05religion.
07:06That is not
07:06Adhyatma.
07:13Structures
07:14of marble
07:15and stone
07:16and this
07:16and that
07:17and glittering
07:19through the light
07:19and having
07:20great reputation.
07:22They have
07:23very peripheral
07:23relation to
07:24religion.
07:26Very,
07:26very peripheral.
07:28One could even
07:29argue that
07:30they have
07:30no relation
07:31at all
07:31with religion.
07:33One could
07:33even go to
07:34the extent
07:35of arguing
07:37that such
07:38large structures
07:39actually
07:40take you
07:41away from
07:42religion.
07:44It's possible
07:45to argue
07:46that way.
07:51When you
07:52look at
07:52your real
07:53face,
07:55you do not
07:56like what
07:56you see.
07:58You see
07:59a beggar.
08:01And why
08:01won't one
08:02like a beggar?
08:03Please tell me.
08:04If I'm really
08:04a beggar,
08:06would I mind
08:07looking like
08:08a beggar?
08:11If I'm
08:12really a beggar
08:15and it's a beggar
08:16I see in the mirror,
08:17would I mind it?
08:18I won't.
08:19Because that's
08:20who I am.
08:20I say,
08:21fine,
08:21that's who really
08:21I am.
08:22Why should I
08:23mind it?
08:24But the
08:24moment
08:26you are
08:26caught lying,
08:27do you like
08:28it?
08:29If you are
08:30caught lying,
08:31do you like
08:31it?
08:33That's because
08:34something within
08:35you loves
08:35the truth.
08:38And it's not
08:38about being
08:40truthful in
08:40others' eyes.
08:41When you
08:42lie to
08:42someone,
08:44doesn't
08:44something
08:44shrink within?
08:46That is
08:47because here,
08:48here sits
08:48something that
08:50loves just
08:51the truth.
08:51It can
08:52never make
08:52peace with
08:53lies.
08:57Similarly,
08:58when you
08:59are deceived
08:59or when you
09:00deceive somebody,
09:01do you like
09:02it?
09:03That's what,
09:04because here,
09:05the nature
09:06is reliance,
09:10reliability.
09:17When
09:18something you
09:19associate with
09:20truth disappears,
09:22falls,
09:22cracks,
09:23passes away,
09:24do you like
09:25it?
09:26Do you like
09:26it?
09:28Why?
09:28Because here
09:29is somebody
09:33who loves
09:34eternity.
09:36Here is
09:37somebody who
09:38is madly
09:40in love with
09:41the timeless.
09:43And the
09:44timeless
09:46never comes
09:47and goes.
09:51That's the
09:52reason we
09:52hate death.
09:53That's the
09:54reason we
09:54are always in
09:55fear of death.
09:56Because death
09:56is not our
09:57nature.
09:58Because something
09:59within you can
10:00never make peace
10:01with disappearance.
10:05Getting it?
10:05And that's the
10:06reason when you
10:07face the mirror,
10:08you will not like
10:09what you see.
10:11adhyatma or
10:12religion are
10:14about holding
10:15that mirror to
10:16you.
10:18That's the real
10:19function of
10:19religion.
10:20To show you
10:21how you look.
10:23And you don't
10:24look nice.
10:25So the priests
10:26don't find it
10:27profitable showing
10:28you the mirror.
10:31You show the
10:32mirror to someone
10:33and the fellow
10:33is thinking,
10:34you know,
10:34I am a hunk,
10:35I am a dude,
10:35I am so pretty,
10:36I am sexy,
10:40but the mirror,
10:41mirror,
10:42mirror on the
10:42wall,
10:43who is the
10:43ugliest of us
10:44all?
10:44You.
10:47You.
10:48And always
10:49you.
10:52So religion
10:53shattered the
10:54mirror.
10:55And instead
10:56built up great
10:57brick walls.
10:59What we needed
11:00was reflective
11:01surfaces.
11:03Instead what we
11:04have is a lot
11:05of opaqueness.
11:10Do we see
11:12that?
11:12When you don't
11:13like what you
11:14see,
11:16arises within
11:17a power
11:19to dismiss it,
11:21reject it,
11:21go beyond it.
11:23But you will
11:24go beyond only
11:25when you
11:25encounter
11:27what is false,
11:28what is
11:28fallible.
11:30We don't
11:31encounter that.
11:32In fact,
11:33so much of
11:34our religion
11:35throughout the
11:35world,
11:35every place,
11:36every country,
11:37every culture,
11:38so much of
11:38it is just
11:39feel good.
11:41you are feeling
11:43a little tense,
11:44go to a place
11:44of worship.
11:45And you will
11:46say, you know,
11:47I feel peaceful.
11:50Very nice
11:50vibes.
11:52But that's not
11:53the function
11:53of the place
11:55of worship.
11:55It's not meant
11:56to give you
11:57that superficial
11:58kind of temporary
11:59peace.
12:00That's not the
12:00function at all.
12:02in fact, it's
12:03meant to rob you
12:04of your false
12:05and superficial
12:05peace.
12:09But if that
12:10happens, who
12:10will visit the
12:12place of worship?
12:14And then what
12:15happens?
12:17With the
12:17pandits and the
12:18molvies and
12:19the fathers, the
12:21priests, the
12:23entire clergy,
12:23what happens to
12:24them?
12:25They are out of
12:26business, jobless.
12:28So, all those
12:29places are turned
12:30into soothing
12:31experiences.
12:33And then we
12:34put up an
12:34Instagram post.
12:36See, how
12:38relaxing.
12:40See, how
12:40relaxing.
12:41Masachi or
12:41something?
12:43What are you
12:44talking of?
12:45Is that religion?
12:46How relaxing?
12:48I went to
12:50Baba Ji.
12:52And you
12:53know, you
12:53just start
12:54feeling peaceful
12:56in His
12:57presence.
12:59Such a worn
13:00out cliche.
13:00I sit in
13:01front of Guru
13:02Ji and I
13:02feel so
13:03peaceful.
13:06I feel so
13:07peaceful.
13:09I hope
13:09that's not
13:11happening to
13:11any of you.
13:16Because that
13:17is taken as
13:18the sine qua
13:19non of the
13:21religious process.
13:22You will
13:22feel peaceful.
13:24You will
13:24feel good about
13:25yourself.
13:26you will
13:27feel positive.
13:29But where
13:30is the
13:31mirror?
13:34My face
13:35is smeared
13:36with mud.
13:37My entire
13:38being carries
13:39blemishes.
13:40You want me to
13:40feel peaceful
13:41with these?
13:43What kind of
13:45self-deception
13:45is this?
13:46peace?
13:48I am living a
13:49wasted life and
13:50determined to
13:51waste it even
13:52further.
13:54And religion is
13:55supposed to make
13:56me come to
13:57peace with this.
13:59Religion, true
14:00religion is
14:01rebellion.
14:02Not making
14:03peace.
14:07This kind of
14:08peace is just
14:10submission.
14:13cowardly
14:13surrender.
14:18So you look
14:19at it, you
14:20don't like it.
14:21And then
14:22whatever be the
14:23cost, it is
14:25dropped.
14:26Then the real
14:27thing shines
14:28forth.
14:29That's the
14:30entire purpose
14:30of religion.
14:32To live life
14:34as per your
14:35real nature.
14:38which is
14:38love, which
14:39is truth, which
14:40is joy, which
14:41is bliss, which
14:42is Satchidanand.
14:46But how can
14:47any of that
14:48happen?
14:49If you
14:50suddenly start
14:51feeling peaceful
14:52in Guruji's
14:52presence.
14:54Because he is
14:55all the time
14:55smiling and
14:56throwing petals
14:56at you.
14:59And if Guruji
14:59gets tired
15:00throwing petals,
15:01then there is
15:01an entire team
15:02of volunteers.
15:05Petals and
15:05rosewater and
15:08aroma and
15:10experience and
15:11all kinds of
15:12colors and
15:15prasadam,
15:16sweet, nice,
15:19buffalo,
15:22milk,
15:24cheer.
15:27All kinds of
15:29sensual
15:29deceptions.
15:34these senses
15:35are built to
15:36deceive, right?
15:37And religion
15:38is meant
15:39to liberate
15:40you from the
15:40stranglehold of
15:41all this.
15:42Instead, if this
15:44is used to
15:45deceive you
15:46further, is
15:47that religion?
15:57and if you do
15:58not have the
15:59real thing, I
16:00repeat, you
16:01will have to
16:02keep fighting
16:03over crumbs.
16:05Think of
16:06dogs, think of
16:07stray dogs, not
16:09the well-fed
16:10ones, the
16:12emaciated ones.
16:14Think of them,
16:15think of an
16:16entire pack,
16:18eight of
16:18them.
16:21You throw
16:22one dry
16:23piece of
16:24bread at
16:25them and
16:25what do you
16:25see?
16:26What do you
16:27see?
16:28All eight of
16:29them fight
16:30over it because
16:31that's all that
16:32they have.
16:34That's all that
16:35they have.
16:39What's
16:39happening in the
16:40Middle East?
16:40is it really
16:41a geopolitical
16:42crisis?
16:43No, at the
16:44heart of it
16:47lies religion.
16:53Right?
16:54The very
16:55division of
16:56Palestine into
16:57two states
16:58happened on the
16:58basis of
16:59religion.
17:00Though that
17:00was never
17:01realized,
17:04materialized.
17:05But that
17:05was the entire
17:06proposal, 1948.
17:08Divide into
17:08two Jews and
17:09Muslims and
17:12they are
17:12fighting.
17:18And then
17:18this India
17:19Pakistan thing,
17:20what do you
17:21think?
17:21It's about
17:21Kashmir?
17:22No, it's
17:22about religion.
17:24In fact,
17:25the entire
17:25argument from
17:26the other
17:26side is
17:28Kashmir was
17:29Muslim
17:30dominated,
17:31so it should
17:32have come to
17:32Pakistan.
17:33What is it
17:33doing with
17:34India?
17:35Religion.
17:37Religion.
17:41Holocaust.
17:44Holocaust.
17:46Jews again.
17:54An entire
17:55community,
17:56religious community
17:57was villainized
18:02and 60 lakh of
18:03them were put to
18:04the sword.
18:05Not sword really,
18:06gas.
18:10religion.
18:11The criteria
18:11was religion.
18:12Yes,
18:13Hitler proposed
18:14many other
18:15arguments.
18:15He said
18:16they have
18:16drained the
18:17economic wealth
18:18out of
18:18Germany.
18:20And they
18:21are exploitative
18:22and many
18:22other things.
18:23But what
18:23was the
18:24fundamental
18:24criteria?
18:25Religion.
18:30religion.
18:32And related
18:33to the
18:33whole thing,
18:34if again race
18:35and ethnicity
18:36and everything,
18:38the entire
18:39slaughter,
18:40the German
18:40people require
18:42more land
18:43to live
18:43because we
18:44are the
18:44privileged
18:45Aryan race.
18:47So we
18:48are more
18:48entitled than
18:49others to
18:50have land
18:50and therefore
18:51Germany must
18:52expand towards
18:53the east
18:54and have
18:55more agricultural
18:57land and
18:58minerals.
19:01Same thing.
19:02What was the
19:03basis?
19:04The German
19:04people are
19:05superior.
19:05Some basis.
19:06We are
19:06superior.
19:07Because that's
19:08the only basis
19:09you have,
19:09sir.
19:11And when
19:12that's all that
19:12you have,
19:13obviously you
19:13will fight over
19:14it.
19:14You don't
19:15know who
19:15you really
19:15are.
19:16You don't
19:17know what
19:17your real
19:18worth is.
19:19So you
19:20have taken
19:20something very
19:21small and
19:21are not just
19:22clinging to it
19:23but fighting
19:24over it.
19:28Sri Lanka.
19:29We call it
19:30the thing
19:32between the
19:33Tamil and
19:34the Sinhalese.
19:38It was a
19:39Buddhist
19:40versus Hindu
19:42thing.
19:48Bangladesh.
19:51One of the
19:51reasons
19:53the Prime
19:54Minister was
19:55thrown out,
19:55the government
19:55was toppled,
19:56they were seen
19:57as pro-Hindu
20:00or at least
20:01less anti-Hindu.
20:06So there is
20:07an entire
20:07uprising.
20:14thing.
20:16We reduce
20:17religion to
20:18this,
20:19a thing you
20:20can carry in
20:20your pocket,
20:24use as per
20:25your convenience.
20:33not something that
20:35will elevate you
20:35to the skies,
20:36but something
20:37that you can
20:38kick around
20:39on the mud
20:40for your
20:41entertainment,
20:42for your pleasure,
20:43for your sport.
20:54in fact,
20:55if we were to
20:55be true to
20:56the real
20:58meaning of
20:58religion,
21:01we'll have
21:02to go
21:05very far
21:06away from
21:06the religious
21:07people.
21:11if you
21:12are to
21:12find a
21:13truly
21:14irreligious
21:15person,
21:17truly
21:17irreligious
21:18person,
21:18go to
21:19someone who
21:20calls himself
21:20deeply
21:21religious.
21:24It has
21:25come to
21:35that.
21:37Instead of
21:39religion being
21:41something that
21:42sublimates the
21:43ego,
21:43liberates the
21:44ego,
21:45religion has
21:45become a
21:46toy in the
21:47hands of
21:48the ego.
21:50And that's
21:51the reason
21:52why all
21:54all these
21:59very
22:00mediocre,
22:01very lowly
22:02people,
22:03they are
22:04at the
22:04forefront
22:05in
22:06celebrating
22:07religion.
22:10Because
22:10religion is
22:11their toy,
22:12religion is
22:12their plaything.
22:17They use
22:18religion to
22:19defend
22:20the way
22:20they are.
22:23They use
22:24religion to
22:25defend the
22:26way they
22:26are.
22:27Whereas the
22:28purpose of
22:28religion is
22:29exactly the
22:29opposite.
22:30To not let
22:31you remain
22:32the way you
22:32are.
22:35You know
22:36how false
22:36religion operates?
22:37You start
22:38from where you
22:39are, that's
22:39your purpose.
22:40Here I am.
22:42Here I am.
22:44And my
22:45entire purpose
22:46is self-preservation.
22:48That's how the
22:49ego thinks,
22:50right?
22:52Because it's
22:52a vulnerable,
22:53fragile,
22:54little,
22:54petty,
22:55insecure thing.
22:56It's always
22:59scared of
23:01its very
23:02being,
23:03existence.
23:04So it's
23:04always thinking
23:05of self-preservation.
23:06How do I
23:06defend myself?
23:07So false
23:08reason starts
23:09from there.
23:09I have to
23:09defend myself.
23:10I have to
23:10defend myself.
23:11And I have to
23:12justify the
23:12way I am.
23:14Because that's
23:14what is self-defense.
23:15I have to
23:15justify the
23:16way I am.
23:19So today,
23:20today,
23:21if I hate
23:23her,
23:24open your
23:24eyes.
23:28I just
23:28said I
23:29hate you.
23:35So today
23:36if I hate
23:37her,
23:38please,
23:38please,
23:38stay with
23:39me step
23:39by step.
23:42So this
23:43is the
23:43way I
23:43am.
23:44And the
23:44ego wants
23:45to self-
23:45preserve.
23:46The ego
23:46wants to
23:47remain the
23:47way it
23:48is and
23:48not just
23:48remain the
23:49way it
23:49is.
23:50Glorify
23:50its
23:50ways.
23:53I'm not
23:54content with
23:55just being
23:55who I
23:56am.
23:57I want
23:58to call
23:58it sacred.
23:59I want
24:00to say
24:00this is
24:01the best
24:01thing
24:01possible
24:02ever.
24:02This
24:02is
24:02perfection
24:03itself.
24:04So today
24:04if for
24:05a pity
24:05reason
24:06I hate
24:06her.
24:07Today
24:08if for
24:08some
24:08pity
24:09reason
24:09I
24:09hate
24:10her.
24:10I
24:11hate
24:11her
24:11because
24:11she
24:11sleeps
24:12in
24:12my
24:12sessions.
24:15for some
24:16petty
24:17reason I
24:17hate
24:17her.
24:18You know
24:19what I
24:19will do?
24:21I will
24:22write a
24:22scripture
24:22that says
24:25in her
24:2843rd
24:28birth
24:31she was
24:32a
24:32Rakshasi.
24:39And I
24:40was a
24:40little
24:40old
24:42innocent
24:42baby
24:44and she
24:44ate me
24:45up.
24:47So she
24:48deserves
24:48to be
24:48hated.
24:51And I
24:52will prove
24:53that my
24:54hatred
24:55towards
24:55her
24:56is not
24:57a thing
24:57of my
24:58own
24:58but actually
24:59coming from
24:59the
24:59scriptures.
25:01Do you
25:02see this?
25:02You see
25:03the reverse
25:04engineering?
25:05I
25:06start
25:06from
25:07who I
25:07am
25:07and to
25:08defend
25:08and
25:09justify
25:09it
25:10I
25:10will
25:10create
25:10a
25:11history.
25:13I
25:14will
25:14create
25:14a
25:14history.
25:15And
25:15that's
25:15how
25:15most
25:16of
25:16these
25:16books
25:17that
25:17are
25:17called
25:17as
25:17scriptures
25:18are
25:18written.
25:20So
25:20that
25:20you
25:20can
25:21justify
25:21who
25:21you
25:22are.
25:22Not
25:23dissolve
25:23who
25:24you
25:24are
25:24but
25:24justify
25:25who
25:25you
25:25are.
25:29And
25:29having
25:30written
25:30that
25:30scripture
25:31or
25:31having
25:32quoted

32:59all these
33:01things
33:02have roots
33:04in false
33:05religiosity
33:08and therefore

33:19do ourselves
33:20a favour

33:21all these
33:22people

33:25themselves
33:26religious
33:26because they
33:27follow customs
33:28traditions
33:28and do this
33:29and visit
33:29that place

33:32of clothes
