on a certain day two cows were grazing on the English meadow English cows one
cow asked other what is your opinion about the mad cow disease the other cow
said I don't care a hoot I am anyway helicopter being a mystic being a
realised being is just like this a cow realizing that it's a cow and it becomes
a celebrated cow holy cow isn't it is it that simplistic so let me tell you my
story so as a child one thing that I realized was that I was utterly
absolutely ignorant and everybody around me seemed to know just about everything
I did not know anything at all so because I did not know anything I had to
pay enormous attention towards everything my sense of attention become
became like this if I see a leaf I could just sit there looking at this leaf just
staring at it for hours if I set up in my bed just staring at the darkness I
could just do this for the whole night so this attention brought a completely
different level of involvement and interaction with just about anything and
everything around me animate and inanimate but everybody else seemed to
know everything and they were just going about their life busy and happy but I
was just tearing at every little thing then I saw that I realized that even
they did not know anything it is just that they had their assumptions and
belief systems that they were happy with either of their own or what was handed
down to them by someone else and they not only knew about what is here they
also knew about other worlds about gods about heavens and everything and here I
was struggling to figure what is what so this so intrigued me
that I started planting myself outside our main two major temple here in Mysore
because I wanted to really see after having a meeting with God after having a
conversation with God how people will be so I stood there intensely observing
every face that's walking out of the temple and generally I heard local
gossip sometimes in Indian temples your
Footwear walks away with someone else and then I see hear people cursing the
creation and the Creator I always found people walking out of restaurants as are
always had more joyful faces than people walking our temples divine versus dosa
dosa seems to win I could not come to terms with this and so I slowly became
more and more and more skeptical about everybody and everything around me
skeptical about social structures political systems religious beliefs even
scientific theories because none of them match with my experience of life on a
certain day I started moving towards Chamundi Hill you must see this place
and there is a tradition in Mysore if you have something to do you go to
Chamundi Hill if you have nothing to do you go to chairman D hill if you fall in
love you go to chairman the hill if you fall out you go to Chamundi Hill I have
just fallen out and I had nothing to do so I started moving towards Chamundi
Hill and I went up and said in a rock there till that moment in my life I
always thought this is me and that somebody else in something else but for
the first time I did not know which is me and which is not me
suddenly what was me was just all over the place the very rock on which I was
sitting the air that I breathe the very atmosphere around me I had just exploded
into everything that sounds like after insanity this I thought last
for ten to 15 minutes but when I came back to my normal consciousness I was
about four and a half hours I was sitting there fully conscious eyes open
but time had just flipped in my experience for the first time in my
adult life tears were flowing down and I've always been peaceful and happy that
was not an issue but here I was drenched in a completely different kind of
blissfulness every cell in my body bursting with ecstasy when I shook my
head and trying to get some logical explanation for what's happening to me
the only thing that my where is smart mind could say was maybe I'm just going
off my rocker this experience has it deepened and it started repeating itself
if I just sit here what is moments for me
seemed to be hours for others I think it's a minute
hours have gone on a certain day I happen to be sitting in a certain place
I actually thought it's about 25-30 minutes but when I came to my normal
senses thirteen days had gone by or sitting right there India being what it
is a whole crowd had gathered Garland's around my neck people had seen my feet
somebody wants to know what will happen to his business somebody wants to know
when his daughter will get married all the things that I hated were just
happening around me and I had to move away from this place just to avoid this
crowd around me and as this experience deepened into me one thing that happened
to me was everything that I believed was me suddenly was not me this was always
me and suddenly I found this is just an accumulation of food that I've eaten
what I accumulate can be mind but can never be me this is just a huge heap of
impressions in my mind and this body and mind not being me but just being mine a
distance arose between me and my body between me and my mind this also
facilitated a certain experience within me that suddenly the equation of time
and space was suddenly not applicable for me I was seeing that what is here is
there what is there is here past present and future got mixed up it
was one magista chaos but utterly beautiful
so my skeptical mind not able to come to terms with it was I was static sad
conducting experiments these experiments are too weird to talk about and the
results to fairytale is for anybody to believe but one thing that I arrived at
was that existence is not human centric and all human experience is self-made
most people believe that their experience is molded by what situations
in which they exist but all human experience is 100% self created from
within I think today a lot of science is beginning to agree with that and having
realized it if all experience is created from within if the basis of your
experience is within you the seat of your experience is within you as it is
what kind of experience of life would you want to have for yourself I'm sure
you want it to be at most pleasantness whatever you may be doing what you want
for your neighbor may be debatable but what you want for yourself definitely
you want at most pleasantness as I realized the basis of my experiences
within me I shifted from staring at things to sitting with my eyes closed
this was a dimensional shift in my life from staring to sitting with my eyes
closed I got so fascinated with this human
mechanism I wouldn't want to open my eyes for days on end I'm just keeping my
eyes closed wanting to see everything about this one
and what I realized was if I take a piece of bread and put it into this
system this piece of bread becomes my body in a few hours and I begin to
experience this as myself this amazing process as I became more and more aware
of it I saw the very source of creation the very maker of this body the
manufacturer of this body is within once I saw this and I could see that I could
rewire my brains completely in 24 hours changing myself beyond social upbringing
family situations even genetic qualities in me I could see I could just
completely change everything about myself in 24 hours I'm a different
person under 24 hours I'm a different person I was like a conscious kid so
firmly trying out different things on a certain day I just in a field hockey
game I fractured my left ankle and I went and sat down in a place I was in
excruciating pain and by then I had also become a chronic aesthetic and I had a
very serious of astana and this pain and this inability to breathe together they
were quite something at that moment it occurred to me if the
maker of this body is inside why is it that I cannot mend this from inside I
thought I sat down with a sudden resolve if this is true I must be able to allow
it to mend itself otherwise I must be completely in a wrong track I said I sat
down with my eyes closed for about little more than an hour when I came out
my asked my left me never to come back again and above all my fractured leg was
perfectly okay and little about little more than an hour's time
armed with this experience I started creating methods and systems through
which every human being could access that intelligence and that capability
within the system which can make a piece of bread into your human being this
intelligence and this competence within the human system which is not just about
thought process exists in every human being but unfortunately remains untapped
and I went about creating systems that people could make use of today these
technologies for inner well-being these methods to engineer your interior tea
the way you want it millions of people are making use of it and enjoying the
benefits of that but the essential part of this is that there is such a high
level of intelligence and competence competence on every millimetre of the
body every point of the body not just in the process
this is completely untapped by human societies there are ways to do this and
as I went into this process what I saw was what is it that determines what is
me and what is not me I'm capable of taking a piece of bread
and making it into myself if I look at this body it is just a piece of this
planet that I have borrowed but why is this separate and this is separate then
I found that it is just the boundaries of sensation which determines what is me
and what is not me here there is sensation so this is me there seems I
don't feel the sensation so that's not me as I looked at this boundaries of
sensation very very closely from within myself
this was a space of my life where most of the time I remain with my eyes closed
I realized that the boundaries of sensation can either be stretched
expanded or even made smaller than what it is right now
you can sit here and not feel anything that's happening here right now this
happens in sleep to some extent or you can sit here and extend your boundaries
of your sensation for this whole hall and anything that is within the
boundaries of your sensation you will always experience as myself there is a
glass of water here and this is not me that's very clear but if you drink it
you just included it into the boundaries of your sensation and that becomes you
so if you throw the boundary of your sensation out in an expanded form you
can sit here and experience everybody in this hall as yourself you can stretch it
further experience the very cosmic scape and like you experience your own body
this sense of inclusiveness if it comes into you when this came into me I
suddenly realized that to be loving is not somebody's teaching to be
compassionate is not an idea to be an empathy is not some esoteric principle
this is the way a human being is made if only he does not constipate his
consciousness with limited identifications with things that he is
not if you do not identify with anything that you have accumulated over
a period of time including your body and mind every human being is capable of
this when it comes to external situations each one of us are
differently capable but when it comes to inner situations every one of us is
equally capable no human being is better endured than the other when it comes to
the inner realm it's only in the external situations that we are all
differently capable if this inclusiveness enters human life if you
can sit here and experience people around you as yourself I don't think I
have to teach you to be good I don't think I have to teach you to laugh I
don't think I have to teach you to care because caring for this one is very very
natural this is ingrained within the very nature of the existence this
inclusiveness definitely has to touch humanity so this became my life my work
and my endeavor to develop methods so that people can experience this
inclusiveness if this inclusiveness is experienced by
humanity particularly by the leadership people who whaled power and probe
different aspects of responsibility in the world definitely we could find
solutions for everything because today we as a generation of people this is
very significant for the first time we are capable of addressing every human
problem on this planet of nourishment health education ecology you name it we
can address it all we have the necessary resource capability and technology for
the very first time but are we going to do it simply depends upon how inclusive
is our experience of life if you stand here and we experience this planet as
yourself I don't think I have to tell you take care of it every human being
would do his best when we do not have this inclusiveness what we could do we
will not do in our lives if we do not do what we cannot do that is not a problem
but if you do not do what we can do we are a disaster my hope and my work is
just to see that we are the generation of people the
not become that kind of a disaster that what we can do we will definitely do and
right now what we can do compared to what we could do 100 years ago is so
incredibly different so incredibly different but what's missing is an all
inclusive consciousness our call to all inclusive experience of life if only we
bring this about in the leadership in the people only then we will seek
solutions that are relevant for all otherwise we'll go about dabbling
creating in the name of creating solutions we go about creating more and
more problems if we truly have to create solutions that are relevant for all an
experience of absolute inclusiveness has to happen to humanity and it's possible
thank you very much
you
