when we say food we are talking about the material with which we build up
we'll build this body right now physically what we consider as ourselves
he's essentially a heap of food that we have eaten so how can we not pay
attention to this because it is the building material with which we are
building this body and when we build something we must know towards what
purpose we're building it if you want to build this building
however wonderful the design is the material that goes into it makes the
difference so the design may be great but what kind of material we actually
structure this body with makes a whole world of difference right now largely in
every culture people are eating the way they are eating because our fathers and
mothers ate that way our grandfathers and grandmothers ate that way and it
goes back we need to understand when they ate that way they did not have
options it was food was about survival they ate what was locally available and
what they ate on that they became the next days culture but today we have come
to a place where wherever you are in the world you're in Doha but you're eating
fruit and fresh vegetable which I'm sure 100 years ago nobody ever tasted so now
we have choices it is time to consider what is it that should go into our
system first of all what is objective in the yogic culture we have this if you
want to be a menial laborer you want to work 10 12 hours a day physically you
must eat one way you want to be an athlete you want to eat another way you
want to be a warrior you must eat another way you
to use your brain you must do it another way you want to be loving and nice you
must eat another way like this for different objectives we differently so
bringing a little bit of awareness about this whatever I say now is not hard and
fast do's and don'ts this is about conducting our life more consciously
every aspect of our life whatever we do if we simply move our hand like this
unconsciously it moves one way if you move this consciously it moves another
way if you simply throw words out it happens one way if you throw these words
out consciously it happens another way sim similarly if you simply throw food
it happens one way if you consciously take it in it happens another way so the
idea is to bring awareness and consciousness to every aspect of life
including the food which is an important part would may not be for many people a
deciding factor because their life may not be so precise in requirement but
definitely plays a significant role for example you know taking myself as an
example the level of activity that happens in our day-to-day life we have
seven days of the week 365 days working 20 hours a day at least for almost 25
years I managed with only two and a half hours of average sleep per night
now I'm getting little lazy and I'm stretching it too far out or sometimes a
little more the choice is this do you want to live have we come here to live
an experience life or I have already here to somehow avoid life and one day
if you're sleeping 8 to 10 hours a day in 24 hours that means you're
effectively sleeping away 45 to 50% of your life
so whether instead of living for if you live for hundred years you're actually
awake only for fifty years of your life which is a sheer waste of life so this
must be very clear are we here to experience and know the why brains of
life and its fullest depth and dimension or are we here to somehow pass it then
be done with it so only if you are concerned about making life happen at
its highest possible level then what you consume becomes an important part of
this there are many ways to look at this in brief amount of time that we have it
could lead to confusions if I go into very sophisticated way of looking at
things to come down to something very simple if you look at any machine when I
say a machine we have seen all of your deeply engrossed in your cell phones and
seeing whether you take a cell phone as a simple machine it's not simple for you
oh you take a car or a computer whatever all of it needs some kind of energy to
perform let's take a car as an example suppose you take a petrol driven car and
put diesel into it it may still manage a little bit but it will not function at
its optimum in this way if you look at it this machine the human mechanism is
the gadget on the planet it is the highest and the most sophisticated
machine on the planet that we have known any number of machines are there but
nothing comparable to this one this is the most sophisticated machine we're
still not able to figure out a single molecule of DNA has to have it functions
with all our brain we still can't figure it that's how complex and sophisticated
it is when you have such a machine how you conduct it becomes very very
important it is so subtle the very way you sit and stand affects the way it
functions shall we do a little experiment with you and
shall we do a little experiment with you if you're willing to sit up with your
spine erect you keep all the five fingers five fingers together that means
you must keep you from down if you keep your five fingers together and place it
upon your thigh gently placed do not press gently placed what we will do is
don't do it right now look at me holding it upon your thigh like this with your
eyes closed breathe slightly deeper than normal
watch how you normally breathe slightly deeper than normal and notice how the
air fills up into your lung or in other words where is the maximum expansion and
contraction observe this as you're doing this I will say switch with your eyes
closed without breaking the rhythm of your breathing just turn it over and
again when I say switch get back in these two positions something very
fundamental about your breath will change I want you to notice what is the
change and you must be able to tell me you will be able to notice this only if
your spine is erect your eyes closed and your mind is focused on your breath
shall we do this please close your eyes all the five fingers together gently
placed upon your thigh slightly deeper than normal just inhale and exhale
noticing how the air fills up in your lungs your eyes closed
switch turn your hands on
switch again
please open eyes do not be some change between the two can you tell me what is
it okay what is happening and what she said is when you hold the palm facing
down you will feel the expansion more in your diaphragm region when you do this
suddenly the most little higher up in the chest why this is happening is among
the three lobes in the lung if you keep your hand facing down the maximum
expansion and contraction happens in the lower lobe of the lung if you just turn
it around it most of the middle lobe of the lung this is just by turning your
hand over the very way you breathe is altering itself it's not just the breath
the very way the life and is function in the body are altering themselves simply
because you turn your hand over how many times in a day and consciously do you do
this now you are sitting yourself into your turmoil and hoping to be peaceful
life does not work like that on this planet this is like you sit in your car
you don't know what these three pedals are kick any one of them whenever you
feel like it and you know what a jerky driver you will be right now please see
this this is what is happening it is not that you do not know peace in your life
it is not that you do not know joy or ecstasy in your life it is not that you
do not know love in your life you know all these things but none of them are
still there its jerky because the driver is joking because the driver knows
nothing about the machine you have been gifted with the most sophisticated
mechanism in the universe we know and you are handling it like it's a crude
thing so once you have a machine like this it's important what kind of fuel is
going into the system when we say what kind of fuel what kind of fuel is this
machine designed for as I said there are many many ways of looking at it the
simplest way is elementary cannot from the mouth to the anal outlet digestive
process happen and many different levels now what kind
of food is this digestive system designed for if you look at the animal
kingdom largely in the world there are carnivores and herbivores but animals
which eat vegetable material and those which eat meat between these two
coordinate Wars and hurtin herbivores there is a significant difference in the
way their bodies are constructed and particularly their elementary can on
which is the digestive process one basic thing is to start with if you look at
all the herbivorous animals they have incisors in the front cutting teeth and
molars at the back which are grinding teeth the coordinators animals have
incisors not so well-developed molars and they have two extra pairs of canine
that is if you want to eat meat in nature to tear the meat and eat you need
this extra pair of teeth somehow please check you don't have them and if you
check the your moment of herbivores and carnivores all the corner Wars have only
cutting action in their jaw moment they have to just cut their smoke pieces and
eat it all the herbivorous animals have cutting and grinding action because
you're supposed to grind your food why this design difference is if you ever
put a little bit of rice in your mouth and leave it there for a minute and
close your eyes and observe will notice the rise will turn sweet roar eyes will
turn sweet in your mouth because the carbohydrates are being converted into
sugar right here in your mouth region because there is a certain enzyme called
Talon in your saliva which every herbivorous animal has which starts the
digestive process in the mouth region itself
none of the corner Burress animals have this so they only cut and eat swallow
their food viewers are supposed to chew their food and eat if you go looking
further the length of the elementary canal if you look at it in all the
corner various animals it's only three times the length
in all the corner Burris in the hall the previous animals the length of the
elementary canal is approximately five to six times the length of your body do
you know what is the length of this pipe running through your body there are
doctors I'm sorry it is anywhere between 24 to 30 feet which is approximately
five to six times the length of your body
so in this kind of elementary canal if you put the duration of time that the
particular food item takes to pass through if you put wrong to the system
it will take anywhere between 70 to 72 hours to pass through the system
if you cook if you put cooked meat into the system it will take 48 to 52 hours
to pass through the system if you put cook to vegetarian meals it will take 24
to 30 hours to pass through the system if you put an uncooked vegetable it will
take 12 to 15 hours to pass through the system if you put a fruit it will take
1/2 3 hours to pass through the system if you keep raw meat outside in summer
for 72 hours what happens similar things happen in your body or in other words
enormous amount of rotting process happens an excessive bacterial activity
is taking taking place within the body keeping this bacterial levels lower in
the body becomes the biggest function that the body is functioning and doing
right now which makes one I see that with regular Londoner these everywhere
either coffee or worse coke is being served because without that most people
will fall asleep on the table because that is the nature of food that we are
consuming the level of inertia that this food is creating is such now all the
doctors particular rests are saying minimum eight hours you must sleep sleep
is not a requirement in the body restfulness is a requirement in body
when I say restfulness right now I am standing walking and
speaking but if you check my pulse on an empty stomach you will see my pulse will
be somewhere between 36 to 44 right now it may be in the range of around 50 if
body is going at an easier pace the amount of rest that it demands in terms
of shutting down will come down considerably it's like you have a car
which needs 15 days in a month it needs to be serviced you could as well walk
ride a bicycle you know if it needs one day in a month service all right if it
needs 15 days servicing servicing in one month's time it's not worth having that
is how one will begin to feel about their own body when it needs too much
servicing you wonder why the hell you are here that thought will very easily
come when you when the body pulls you down people will wonder why I here what
am I doing this questions will come business women who have big plans in
their life the most important thing is have a vibrant and alert body which is
willing to do what you want which is willing to stay awake which is willing
to wake up when you want it doesn't fall asleep in the middle of something it's
very very important to have an alert in agile body now nourishment problems are
there so living in a desert if I just depend on vegetables after all
everything has to come from somewhere I may not have enough nourishment that
problem is there so if nourishment is a problem if we have to eat some kind of
non-vegetarian the best way to eat it is what is farthest away from us in the
evolutionary scale we must eat that the closer they are to us the more
information to process when I say more information to process right now you
understand you need to stand this that your body is forming itself the way it
is forming itself only because of a certain level of memory and information
that it carries when I say memory and information
people think memory and information is in their mind know what your mind
carries is a miniscule a body carries a trillion times more memory than you can
imagine for example Michele do you remember your
great-great great-great grandmother how she looked no you don't remember half
your great-great great-great grandmother looked but her nose is sitting on your
face right now because your body remembers your body remembers how your
forefathers were a million years ago it is not forgotten you might have
forgotten but your body remembers there's a phenomenal amount of memory in
every cell in this body and similarly the more evolved a particular creature
is the more complex it has become the more distant to absorb and make it a
part of itself so suppose you eat animal which has emotions the moment you
consume an animal with emption s' the complexity of information in that animal
is such that it will not integrate easily into our system if you eat an
animal which does not have so much thought and emotion its ability to
retain its own structure is very minimal and it integrates itself into our body
as a part of ourselves very easily so when we consume something this is the
fundamental criteria that we want to eat something which is a simple life without
consuming some life you cannot exist here whether it's a plant vegetable
fruit animal everything is life now the idea is to consume a simpler life which
has less capability of thought and emotion the more capability it has your
ability to integrate that will become less or in other words the nature of
that animal will start manifesting within ourselves in some ways it is not
that if you eat a camel you will come a camel tomorrow morning but over a period
of time a little camel istic trends can come
so unless when somebody is extraordinarily physically active they
are able to manage this to some extent as physical activity comes down how
consciously you eat makes a world of difference a human being need not be
serviced for eight hours a day if only if he or she eats properly the kind of
food substance which easily integrates into the system the kind of food
substance that will not create inertia but it will create dynamism the kind of
food substance which will not need to stay in the body for long periods of
time something that passes through the system quickly coordinates animals have
a short elementary kennel because meat prices through the system slowly happy
words have a long elementary canal because visible matter passes through
the system very quickly and we have a long elementary canal and the purpose of
a long elementary canal is a more complex process as possible when a more
complex process is possible what it means is the quality and the nature of
the food in some way impacts us in character in the way we are in the way
we think amount and behave within our cells and around us
so how consciously we consume food and how conscious we are as to how food
behaves within us if you are conscious enough if something appears in front of
you you will simply know whether to eat it or not eat it if that kind of
awareness is not there one has to have function by information as to different
foods how they behave and they do not behave I was speaking to a medical group
in our in United States and I told them the way America is eating right now if
you change the way you're eating you can bring down 60% of the incidence of
cancer in this country simply if you change the way you're eating because
you're eating food which is one on an average about 45 days old in the yogic
culture if anything is cooked within one and a half hours you must
consume it from this Tao straight to the plate
always I'm sure in this culture also it was like that till recently so as you
keep the food and it starts deteriorating
if you eat deteriorating food and then you're wondering why your own body cells
are working against you that cannot be healthy we are spending billions of
dollars in research for the ailments we have created we need to understand this
every human cell every cell in this body is essentially programmed for health but
right now 70 of the ailments on the planet or chronic or in other words they
self created there are infectious diseases which are an invasion from
another organism that has to be dealt with medicine all the chronic ailments
whatever it is is manufactured from within I would our own body manufacture
ailment for us simply because without understanding the fundamentals of how it
functions and one important part of it is what we consume and how we consume if
we change this one aspect as to what we are consuming and how we consume it
health could be a natural process for most people I would say 60 to 70% of the
population will never get help if only there is a little more conscious way of
eating on this planet if you have questions please
this
hello thank you for a very inspirational speech I have two problems chocolate and
cigarettes and I know I need to stop them but what is your advice for me to
have more self-control thank you a cigarette is not a
foodstuffs I will leave it alone about chocolates it happened one day on the
Florida beach a man walking and he found a lamp a kind of a lantern which was
sticking out of the sand he took it out and just to check what it is took his
shirt and just wiped it and lo a genie arrived you heard the story before
so the genies had three gifts whatever you want three boons
I will give you what do you want he said Wow I want to read Ferrari right there
on the beach a red Ferrari arrived then he said wow this is for real I want
million bucks 1 million dollars in the backseat then his head what is the third
one he thought about it and said I want to be irresistible to women he turned
into a box of chocolates so when it's something so precious in a woman's
conference I want for chocolate chocolate is a very positive thing
the problem with chocolate is you're eating with sugar ok if you just eat
chocolate it's a very one thing to eat but you're mixing with such enormous
amount of sugar which will definitely cause damage to the system if you can
eat it without the sugar that will be great and similarly for the cigarette
without the tobacco if you smoke it it would be great
that's why I said chocolate is great it's the sugar which is the problem
that's up to you
see we have gotten used you can like cigarette or coffee or whatever these
are nervous stimulants if you consume Minerva stimulants it'll pep you up for
a certain amount of time and then dump you so you can zoom let's say next two
years you consume coffee every day in the morning one day if there is no
coffee you will freak you'll get headache you will get all kinds of
problems because you are used to the nervous simulant now if you use any kind
of småland or intoxicant upon your nervous system your ability to pussy
will go down when i say your ability to perceive see if i stand here with my
eyes closed if somebody enters this hall with my eyes closed i will tell you what
kind of person has entered this home oh is this some yoga no even your dog can
do it isn't it yes or no your dog is sitting under the sofa somebody at the
door he knows who has come yes or no does he
know or not he knows now when a dog can know why is it that you cannot know
simply because we dull our nervous system in so many different ways first
of all living in urban centers our no system is dulled by excessive input the
type of food that we eat stimulants intoxicants all these things if you tell
your nervous system the statement that you're making to life is I want to dodge
life I want to avoid life I don't want to experience life so if that is the
thing if we cut a nerve in your spine you will not experience anything shall
we do that you're trying to do it slowly I am talking about doing it more
efficiently is that what you want to do to yourself because only if your nervous
system is at its highest level of relaxation and alertness
only then you will know life in its entirety otherwise simply what somebody
has told you and thoughtless that's all you will know you will not perceive life
the way it is Oh whether you're consuming coffee
cigarette this that if by choice somewhere you're doing something that's
up to you I don't get into those aspects of your life but if it's compulsively
happening in your life it's time you do something things that we create it
should not rule our lives isn't it if you're doing everything by choice
consciously it's up to you if they are compelling you to do certain things it's
time you worked on it it's time you did something about it
how it works normally if you spin it hello but if you if sometimes we cannot
wave stress and that's why we are consuming more caffeine more sugar
whatever is chocolate or or more carbohydrates so if there are any other
equivalents that we can use under stress I mean food equivalents so we we are
addressing this as if a stress is a part of as if stress is a part of your life
this happened to me a few years ago when I first went to United States wherever I
went people were talking about stress management
I couldn't understand this where people talking about this management my
understanding we manage things which are precious to us our family our wealth our
business and whatever else whatever is precious to us why would
anybody want to manage stress it took me a while to understand these people have
made a conclusion that stress is a part of their life stress is not a part of
your life you must understand this your stressful not be you have children your
stressful not because you have a business to run your stressful not
because life is not going the way you think it should be going you stressful
simply because you do not know how to handle yourself your own body your own
mind your own emotion and your own energies are in conflict with each other
they're in a state of friction if this was well lubricated they definitely
would not be any stress if this system was going very smoothly within yourself
there would not be any stress essentially means friction isn't it
however wonderful a machine that you may be driving in terms of your car if you
drive it without the engine lubricants or engine orell it won't last for ten
minutes the same thing goes for this if the necessary lubrication is not created
if the necessary alignment is not happened within you then everything
seems stressful have you at least noticed this much what one person thinks
is very stressful another person is dealing with it effortlessly it should
so it is not a situation which is stressful it is your inability to manage
yourself when you are given such a sophisticated machine what I am asking
you is did you ever read the user's manual you know did you ever pay
attention as to how this functions now we just did one simple experiment this
and this every day you are doing it but you think you don't have to pay
attention to this there is a system there is a whole science as to how to
bring attention to every aspect of your life the very way you sit stand breathe
eat every aspect of your life if you handle it consciously you will see it
will become something else there is a whole science as there is a science and
technology to handle the external there is a whole science and technology to
handle the internal you have to invest certain amount of time in that we are we
are here we are at a business women conference can you give me in three
practical steps how we can manage to be vegetarian to do yoga and to manage all
the problems that we have around us in this world in 3 steps 1 2 3 practically
right
if you if you just had a hammer and an anvil which is the most basic tool 1 2 3
I could teach you in 3 steps but you have a very complex sophisticated
machine which is capable of incredible things when you have such a machine I
would say let's pay a little more attention to it if we want a good deal
out of it if it was a very simplistic thing we could have done it in a very
simplistic way but anyway right now we have only step 4 time for three steps
one thing you could do is we offered it to you right here otherwise you this is
offered free to millions and millions of people across the world it's a simple
process of meditation which takes 12 minutes you can go on the net and with
the guided voice you can practice this it is a technology for well-being it is
not a philosophy it is not an ideology it is not a religion it is not a belief
system it's just a technology for in developing 12 minutes you invest on this
in your diet make 40 percent of your diet into fruit and vegetable which is
fresh and alive live cells not dead ones bring 40 percent into daily life
whichever way it's convenient for you it is best if it's brought as one single
meal as dinner or something but if that's not possible just add it somehow
whichever way but if it comes as a separate meal it's most effective and
simple yoga cannot be taught like this because the simplest of yoga involves
phenomenal amount of geometry today Yoga is being taught as a fitness mechanism
like they teach aerobics they're teaching yoga we would not want to teach
something like that because something very profound if it's taught in a very
simplistic way you will lose the possibility suppose I give you an
airplane you're given an airplane and you don't know what it is I come and say
you chop off these two wings which will anyway obstruct things and drive it like
a car you may like it but it's a disaster to drive an airplane with
chopped off wings so the third step would be
you invest two or three days to learn something very simple don't go for big
things something very very simple two or three days you invest to learn something
and bring it into your life it will do a phenomenal change in your life these
three things three steps good morning and anyway to tell you I'm not a
businesswoman but I'm running more than half a dozen businesses and foundations
and activity and moments and projects across the world so I'm not somebody who
sits in a cave and meditates all the time okay good morning thank you very
much for your lovely speech I'm not a businesswoman I'm a legal expert for the
National Human Rights Committee in Qatar my name is hello actually is a very
clever person who invited you to this conference really very enthusiastic to
know your opinion about the concept of business and investment because most of
business in this capitalist ISM world it's about accumulating money and
reinvested and accumulating money and again reinvested and have ambitious you
have said those women who have a very big plans I can feel that it has been
sarcastic with your compassion with people who have running after big
achievements and big plans so does business conflict with
enlightenment is the question at no point was I said take what I told her
yesterday was she said she has big dreams yes if you have big dreams the
bigger they are better and if they are very big you must understand you will
never get to make it happen in a short span of lifespan that a human being has
if your dream is really big if your dream is so big
if you take one step in the direction it's a success other people may think
otherwise it doesn't matter but because you have such such a large big huge
dream in your mind what you do may not manifest today but you have taken the
right step and set the most set into motion a possibility which will happen
over a period of time that would not set in sir Carson that was said because she
was feeling depressed the things that she wants are not happening I said the
bigger your dream is the more it will not be fulfilled but it's okay but we
have taken a few steps in the direction and that's what makes it happen now for
us here as a business conference here what we need to understand these there
was a time a few hundred years ago when the religious leadership had the maximum
influence on the societies in the world in the last hand after that military
machines built themselves big and military leaders became the most
influential leaders in the last 100 years democratically elected leaders
have become the most influencing factor on the planet but in the next 10 to 25
years you will see that business leaders economic leaders will be the biggest
influence on the planet but economic or business leaders have come with a tag
around their neck as you were mentioning that they are rested interest they're
only interested in their profit so it is a it is a time and history that business
leaders have to move from a simple ambition of personal profit to a larger
vision of well-being because such a responsibility is coming their way if
they don't want to fail in this responsibility it's time that business
leaders move from simple ambitions that one has to a larger vision of
transformation and well-being thank you very much
