you want to create pleasantness in your
happiness in your home we don’t know 3-4
people are there whether they’re going
to cooperate or not if you want to
create pleasantness in your city there
are too many people we don’t know
whether they’ll cooperate or not if you
want to create pleasantness in the world
you know nobody in this world happens
100% the way you want them
did your parents happen 100% the way you
want them did they the children can say
it’s okay did your friends happen 100%
the way you want them did your spouse
your partners happen 100% the way you
want them not even your dog these days
to do their own things
[Applause]
nobody happens 100% the way you want
them but that is not the problem the
problem is this one this one is not
happening the way you want him to be
that is the problem isn’t it if this one
happened 100% the way you want him life
around you whichever way it happens it’s
either a breather and adventure yes it
is indeed Edison you know gently I mean
the fragrance of the Jasmine on a gentle
breeze or it’s an adventure there is no
unpleasantness unpleasantness
unpleasantness is happening from within
you never from outside of you know you
don’t know how unpleasant my boss is he
only causes at the most if he is he’s
causing unpleasantness around you
he cannot draw cause unpleasantness
within you isn’t it this is your work
this is completely your work isn’t it
why would anybody cause unpleasantness
to himself simply because we have chosen
to live unconsciously just as a
compulsive reaction to everything that’s
happening around us for solutions we are
looking into books we are looking into
all kinds of
things you’re always looking elsewhere
never inward this happened you know
we’re from Tennessee in Tennessee every
family with some kind of tradition has
their own leather-bound large-sized
Bible of their own they’re very proud of
this it’s so large you can barely open
it at least children cannot one day our
school a boy 12 years of age who is
studying in a boarding school elsewhere
came home and he found this huge book
sitting there and he opened it a few
pages he opened a leaf which had been
there in the book for a long time it was
dry he’d flew out and fell down then he
called out loudly mama come and see what
I found
she said what is it that you have found
mama come and see please come and see
what you have what I have found
she said come tell me what have you
found
what is written there and how you
perceive it is you even now even now how
we experience every situation is you
what is happening around you and how you
experience is essentially you what is
written there and what you make out of
it is essentially you just see in the
name of caste creed religion race
nationalities how much for mass we have
created on the planet I’m sure every one
of these things initially started with
the greatest intention of human
well-being definitely but just see what
a mess we are simply because you can
find on other atoms underwear in a book
you don’t know what you will pick up so
there is a way where there is no room
for misinterpretation that way is to
turn inward not to seek solutions
outward for outward things you can seek
outward solutions for inner things you
seek inner inner inner solutions turning
inward what does it mean right now as I
lay a mentioned the only way you can
perceive is through five sense organs
seeing hearing smelling tasting touching
all these things are essentially outward
bound so you can see what’s around you
you cannot roll your eyeballs inward and
scan yourself you can hear this but so
much activity in this body you cannot
hear that if an ant crawls upon this
hand you can feel it so much blood
flowing you cannot feel it in the very
nature of things sense organs are
outward bound but everything that you
experience is happening from within this
only if you
in Word then you are into what you are
referring to as India studies otherwise
India is a glorious chaos lot of Indians
miss it too much order in America once
in a way they have to go out and get
lost and have a diarrhea at least yes or
no if not enlightenment at least the
diarrhea
you must eat the street food and
something must happen no no it need not
be like that it is just that it’s very
organic it is always depending upon
touching the inner genius within every
human being it is not depending upon the
organization of the outside which can be
very chaotic for a person who has been
born and brought up in Western societies
India could be bewildering and scary but
you will see Indian people are so much
at home with the chaos because it’s so
organic everything is happened because
of the human being
if one human being stops being human for
a moment everything collapses so you
kind of hope to be mechanical about your
life you have to be conscious otherwise
you cannot manage even simple things in
home initially this was created
consciously over a period of time
other things have happened unfortunately
now this whole process of looking inward
what does it mean can I can I tell you
my own story it’s okay with you you’re
Shankaran Pillai came to United States
he had an international driving licence
so he decided to take his car his
son-in-law Scott out for a spin he’s a
good driver if you have driven in India
you better be a good driver
otherwise you’re a dead driver so very
confidently he was driving then his wife
called up on the phone and said are you
on i-75 he said yeah just watch out the
traffic news is saying there is a man
driving at full speed in the opposite
direction he said what the hell one man
hundreds of people are driving in the
but he’s very comfortable so what is
turning inward mean this happened to me
when I was just three four years of age
suddenly one day I realized I don’t know
anything I don’t know anything means I
don’t know anything at all if they give
me a glass of water I do not know what
is water when I say I do not know what
is water I know how to use it I know if
I drink it again quench my thirst and so
many other ways of using it but I do not
know what is water do you know what is
water even today with all this
scientific exploration you must
understand we have not understood a
single atom in its entirety we know how
to use them but we do not know what it
is even today it is the only thing
available in all the three states from
the planet two-thirds of the world the
planet itself is water two-thirds of
your body is water if you want to look
for life you look for water a drop of
water means you think life is possible
so very basis of your existence on this
planet but you do not know what it is so
they give me a glass of water I keep
staring at this for 3-4 hours at a
stretch
if I find a leaf I will stare at it five
six hours I sit up in my bed staring in
the darkness for the whole night
My dear father being a physician started
this boy is just tearing at something or
the other unblinking for hours on end
he’s lost it my problem is I look at
this I do not know what is this how to
shift my attention to something else and
you stuck to it paying attention to it
in this condition they sent me to school
I went to school and my mother told me
you must pay attention to the teacher I
went and paid attention the kind of
attention they would have never received
in their life initially I understood the
words that they were speaking after some
time I realized they’re only making
sounds I am the one who is making up the
meanings in my head even now say I am
only making sounds because you presume
you know English language you are making
up the meanings and language is a
conspiracy between two people yes
suppose I start talking in a language
that you do not understand it will be
just sounds even now I only making
sounds you are making up the meanings
and there is a codebook for this
conspiracy called a dictionary so I
realized I am making up all the meanings
in my head and I stopped making up the
meanings just the sounds these teachers
come and keep on making sounds the
problem with most people is the moment
they cannot understand they will not pay
any attention please pair especially
things that you do not understand you
must pay attention isn’t it yes ignore
what you do not understand definitely
needs your attention but generally the
thing is the moment you cannot
understand you don’t pay attention
turn on the Chinese channel just listen
carefully with full attention you will
see things will happen to you what so I
just paid attention not attaching any
meanings to the sounds they were making
after some time it became so amusing
these people going on making noises a
big smile spread on my face they were
not amused at all
I was very consistent with my education
consistently I got six zeroes because I
gave it empty because I was made like
this I come home in the evening evening
study hours or two hours in the evening
you must study in the house if I open
the book I stay like this without
reading a single word for the next two
hours I will be just like this all I
need is just a dot on the paper just a
tiny speck on the paper if I put my
attention to it the damn speck will take
me somewhere I won’t read a single word
nor will I look around nor will let me
do anything simply after two hours I’ll
be in the same speck I’m moving from
that so my attention is like this I’m
paying attention to the teachers so you
know I clearly remember this when they
every month they give this report card I
don’t know if you still have it you
still have that method of report cards
when the report card comes some children
will be strutting around they are first
second whatever some will be crying
they’re terrified to go home because
they got something in my whole school
days all those 12 years I never opened
my report card the teachers gave it to
me I took it and gave it to my dad I
thought this a transaction between the
two of them I never wanted to you know
peep into that and I never was retained
in any class I always went on about 4
years ago this school where I studied
over 4 decades ago they came to invite
me for their one hundred and
twenty-fifth anniversary of the school
they were inviting all the prominent 11i
they came to invite me
I said say please why me I was not just
a not good student I was not even a
student
they said no no our school has produced
federal ministers our school has
produced film stars our school has
produced cricketing stars you are the
only mistake you have to come I said ok
and I went as stood up to speak in this
quadrangle the same oppressive buildings
I just look like this I suddenly saw
this classroom and this whole situation
came back to me I was about 12 years of
age as usual and paying absolute
attention to the teachers I know the
teachers past present and future but I
don’t hear a word of what they’re
talking so that particular afternoon
this teacher is trying to get some
response from me but I am these are
times when for 3 for 5 days I would not
read a single word because when you
don’t know anything what do you say what
is there to say you know nothing if you
look at a leaf you don’t understand that
in entirety if you look at anything you
don’t understand in its fullness so
there’s nothing to say she tried 35 or
40 minutes trying to get some response
nothing came out of me and I was paying
full attention to him he came help me by
the shoulder shook me violently and said
you must either be the divine or the
devil I think you are the later till now
till that moment my problem was what is
this what is that what is that what is
that
but there was one clarity that this is
me suddenly this man confused me about
this was very clear that this was me but
this man brought this confusion about
this also I tried to stare at myself it
didn’t work so I closed my eyes and sat
initially hours then it went into days
once I close my eyes and sat I thought
in my experience I felt it’s about 25-30
minutes when my open my eyes a whole
crowd of people around me Garland’s
around my neck people are trying to pull
my feet you know pulling legs she’s a
part of Indian tradition and somebody
wants to know about his business
somebody wants to know when his
daughters will get married I said how
the hell did these people manifest here
whether they come from big crowd they
said you have been sitting here for 13
days in my experience I just sat there
for 25-30 minutes I closed my eyes and I
opened my eyes a big crowd why I’m
telling you this is life is in many more
ways than the way you understand an
experience life through the five senses
the five sense organs or enough for your
survival if you want to just survive
these five things are fine but if you
want to know life these five sense
organs are not good enough because this
gives you only a comparative perspective
of everything what you know by
comparison say you know light only
because you know darkness isn’t it the
nature of sense organs is such if you
see this part of my hand you cannot see
the other part of my hand even if you
take a grain of sand if you see one part
you can’t see that the part if you’re
experiencing light you cannot experience
the darkness this is the nature of sense
organs and everything is in comparison
for example let’s say you’re six feet
tall now you stand like a tall man
you walk like a stall man you think like
a tall man you feel like a tall man and
you are a tall man suppose you antenna
you went to another society where
everybody the eight feet tall now you
stand like a short man walk like a short
man think like a short man feel like a
short man and you are a short man so
what you know in comparison is only
useful survival in a particular
situation it is not a way of knowing
life there are the dimensions of
perception which a human being has to
activate you need to understand what is
needed for survival became active the
moment you came out of your mother’s
womb all these things became active you
need to understand they were not active
when you were in your mother’s womb
otherwise you would know the whole human
physiology you didn’t have to go to your
medical school you know your eyes were
not open your perception was not open
only after you came out it opened up
because without it you cannot survive if
survival is all your seeking this is
fine but once you come as human somehow
survival is not good enough isn’t it
when survival is in question it’s a big
issue once it’s taken care of it doesn’t
mean anything
isn’t it so there is something within
you always longing for something more
whoever you may be right now whatever
you may be right now you want to be
something more than who you are right
now yes or no if that something more
happens what what you want something
more if that’s something more happens
what something more it looks like you
are looking for expansion okay we will
make you the king or queen of this
planet now don’t look at me hopefully
suppose you become the king or queen of
this planet will you be fulfilled I am
asking you you will look at the Stars
isn’t it so there is something within
you which wants to expand I am asking
how much expansion would set you for
good
how much expansion would settle you for
good hello and limited you’re looking
for infinite expansion a fantastic
desire but hopeless method you’re
longing to become boundless is wonderful
see there is something within you which
does not like boundaries suppose I
imprison you in a fire by five cubical
right now you will feel horribly
imprisoned tomorrow we will liberate you
into your ten by ten cubical you will
feel wonderful for a day and again the
same thing then we will liberate you
into 100 by 100 cubical you will feel
wonderful for three days and again the
same thing it doesn’t matter where I set
the boundary the moment you can feel the
boundary you want to break it yes there
is something within you which does not
like boundaries there is something
within you constantly longing to become
boundless you may be trying to settle
this either unconsciously or consciously
if you are trying to settle it
unconsciously you think going out
shopping will settle it it does first up
for a moment again tomorrow the same
thing or reading a book will say flight
or conquering and something will settle
it all this thing settles you for some
time and again the same thing the moment
you can feel the boundary again it’s a
problem isn’t it there is something
within you longing to become boundless
you need to understand this boundaries
are essentially the nature of the
physical the physical exists in this
universe the physical exists in creation
only because of defined boundaries I can
call this a physical body only because
there is a defined boundary if I take
away the boundaries
this body could you call this physical
if it is all over the place would it be
physical only because it stays with I’m
within a defined boundary it’s physical
boundary is the nature of physical
existence there is something within you
longing to go beyond all boundaries so
if you touch a dimension within you
which is not physical in nature only
then this will settle is there such a
thing
well let’s understand this when you were
born your body was only this much now
how did it happen the food that you’ve
eaten isn’t it the food that you’ve
eaten so what you call as my body is a
heap of food actually or it’s a piece of
this planet physical is something that
you gathered over a period of time yes
physical is an accumulation what you
accumulate at the most you can claim it
is mine it cannot be you isn’t it it can
be yours it can never ever be you it can
be mine it can never ever be me isn’t it
what you gather can belong to you
cannot become you but right now you are
so identified with things that you have
gathered not only in the body in the
mind your mind is a heap of impressions
that you’ve gathered your mind is a
gathering your body is a gathering both
are accumulations between these two
things where are you a dimension beyond
the physical which is the basis of all
this if you eat a piece of bread it
transforms it into such a fantastic
machine that we call as human mechanism
this human body is the most
sophisticated technology on the planet
do you agree with me the iPhone users I
because I see you so deeply engrossed in
now this is the highest level of
technology found on the planet
everything else is a small imitation of
this isn’t it and with what are you
manufacturing this with a piece of bread
with the carrot with an apple with
whatever you eat just about anything
that you eat even if you eat the so
called junk food
even that is becoming wonderful
technology so there is an intelligence
here there is a competence here which is
capable of transforming a piece of bread
into such a highly sophisticated machine
if only if you had access to this
intelligence consciously you would live
your life magically not miserably for
sure so how often do you touch this
every human being touches it at some
moment in his life if you can
consciously touch it definitely you
would stay in touch with it isn’t it if
you accidentally touch it then it
happens accidentally most beautiful
moments in people’s lives unfortunately
are generally accidental people come
until Satguru I met such a wonderful
person as a staff why are you not that
wonderful person why is it that you
meeting such wonderful people if you are
feeling absolutely wonderful anything
that you look at looks wonderful isn’t
it yes so have you noticed this when you
are happy you appreciate everything when
you’re miserable everything is a whole
creation is a rubbish yes or no so this
possibility is not in the Himalayan cave
this possibility is not geographically
located in India this possibility is
here with every one of us whether we
turn inward or we find our squander our
life outward that’s all the choice you
have because the experience of life the
quality of your life is right now
determined not by what kind of clothes
you wear what kind of car you parked
outside what kind of home you live in
this moment what is the nature of your
experience is it immensely pleasant or
unpleasant or see-sawing between the two that determines the quality of your life
happiness in your home we don’t know 3-4
people are there whether they’re going
to cooperate or not if you want to
create pleasantness in your city there
are too many people we don’t know
whether they’ll cooperate or not if you
want to create pleasantness in the world
you know nobody in this world happens
100% the way you want them

it’s okay did your friends happen 100%
the way you want them did your spouse
your partners happen 100% the way you
want them not even your dog these days
to do their own things
[Applause]
nobody happens 100% the way you want
them but that is not the problem the
problem is this one this one is not
happening the way you want him to be
that is the problem isn’t it if this one
happened 100% the way you want him life
around you whichever way it happens it’s
either a breather and adventure yes it
is indeed Edison you know gently I mean
the fragrance of the Jasmine on a gentle

unpleasantness unpleasantness

the shoulder shook me violently and said
you must either be the divine or the
devil I think you are the later till now
till that moment my problem was what is
this what is that what is that what is
that
but there was one clarity that this is
me suddenly this man confused me about
this was very clear that this was me but
this man brought this confusion about
this also I tried to stare at myself it
didn’t work so I closed my eyes and sat
initially hours then it went into days
once I close my eyes and sat I thought
in my experience I felt it’s about 25-30
minutes when my open my eyes a whole
crowd of people around me Garland’s
around my neck people are trying to pull
my feet you know pulling legs she’s a
part of Indian tradition and somebody
wants to know about his business
somebody wants to know when his
daughters will get married I said how
the hell did these people manifest here
whether they come from big crowd they
said you have been sitting here for 13
days in my experience I just sat there
for 25-30 minutes I closed my eyes and I
opened my eyes a big crowd why I’m
telling you this is life is in many more
ways than the way you understand an
experience life through the five senses
the five sense organs or enough for your
survival if you want to just survive
these five things are fine but if you
want to know life these five sense
organs are not good enough because this
gives you only a comparative perspective
of everything what you know by
comparison say you know light only
because you know darkness isn’t it the
nature of sense organs is such if you
see this part of my hand you cannot see
the other part of my hand even if you
take a grain of sand if you see one part
you can’t see that the part if you’re
experiencing light you cannot experience
the darkness this is the nature of sense
organs and everything is in comparison
for example let’s say you’re six feet
tall now you stand like a tall man
you walk like a stall man you think like
a tall man you feel like a tall man and
you are a tall man suppose you antenna
you went to another society where
everybody the eight feet tall now you
stand like a short man walk like a short
man think like a short man feel like a
short man and you are a short man so
what you know in comparison is only
useful survival in a particular
situation it is not a way of knowing
life there are the dimensions of
perception which a human being has to
activate you need to understand what is
needed for survival became active the
moment you came out of your mother’s
womb all these things became active you
need to understand they were not active
when you were in your mother’s womb
otherwise you would know the whole human
physiology you didn’t have to go to your
medical school you know your eyes were
not open your perception was not open
only after you came out it opened up
because without it you cannot survive if
survival is all your seeking this is
fine but once you come as human somehow
survival is not good enough isn’t it
when survival is in question it’s a big
issue once it’s taken care of it doesn’t
mean anything
isn’t it so there is something within
you always longing for something more
whoever you may be right now whatever
you may be right now you want to be
something more than who you are right
now yes or no if that something more
happens what what you want something
more if that’s something more happens
what something more it looks like you
are looking for expansion okay we will
make you the king or queen of this
planet now don’t look at me hopefully
suppose you become the king or queen of
this planet will you be fulfilled I am
asking you you will look at the Stars
isn’t it so there is something within
you which wants to expand I am asking
how much expansion would set you for
good
how much expansion would settle you for
good hello and limited you’re looking
for infinite expansion a fantastic
desire but hopeless method you’re
longing to become boundless is wonderful
see there is something within you which
does not like boundaries suppose I
imprison you in a fire by five cubical
right now you will feel horribly
imprisoned tomorrow we will liberate you
into your ten by ten cubical you will
feel wonderful for a day and again the
same thing then we will liberate you
into 100 by 100 cubical you will feel
wonderful for three days and again the
same thing it doesn’t matter where I set
the boundary the moment you can feel the
boundary you want to break it yes there
is something within you which does not
like boundaries there is something
within you constantly longing to become
boundless you may be trying to settle
this either unconsciously or consciously
if you are trying to settle it
unconsciously you think going out
shopping will settle it it does first up
for a moment again tomorrow the same
thing or reading a book will say flight
or conquering and something will settle
it all this thing settles you for some
time and again the same thing the moment
you can feel the boundary again it’s a
problem isn’t it there is something
within you longing to become boundless
you need to understand this boundaries
are essentially the nature of the
physical the physical exists in this
universe the physical exists in creation
only because of defined boundaries I can
call this a physical body only because
there is a defined boundary if I take
away the boundaries
this body could you call this physical
if it is all over the place would it be
physical only because it stays with I’m
within a defined boundary it’s physical
boundary is the nature of physical
existence there is something within you
longing to go beyond all boundaries so
if you touch a dimension within you
which is not physical in nature only
then this will settle is there such a
thing
well let’s understand this when you were
born your body was only this much now
how did it happen the food that you’ve
eaten isn’t it the food that you’ve
eaten so what you call as my body is a
heap of food actually or it’s a piece of
this planet physical is something that
you gathered over a period of time yes
physical is an accumulation what you
accumulate at the most you can claim it
is mine it cannot be you isn’t it it can
be yours it can never ever be you it can
be mine it can never ever be me isn’t it
what you gather can belong to you
cannot become you but right now you are
so identified with things that you have
gathered not only in the body in the
mind your mind is a heap of impressions
that you’ve gathered your mind is a
gathering your body is a gathering both
are accumulations between these two
things where are you a dimension beyond
the physical which is the basis of all
this if you eat a piece of bread it
transforms it into such a fantastic
machine that we call as human mechanism
this human body is the most
sophisticated technology on the planet
do you agree with me the iPhone users I
because I see you so deeply engrossed in
now this is the highest level of
technology found on the planet
everything else is a small imitation of
this isn’t it and with what are you
manufacturing this with a piece of bread
with the carrot with an apple with
whatever you eat just about anything
that you eat even if you eat the so
called junk food
even that is becoming wonderful
technology so there is an intelligence
here there is a competence here which is
capable of transforming a piece of bread
into such a highly sophisticated machine
if only if you had access to this
intelligence consciously you would live
your life magically not miserably for
sure so how often do you touch this
every human being touches it at some
moment in his life if you can
consciously touch it definitely you
would stay in touch with it isn’t it if
you accidentally touch it then it
happens accidentally most beautiful
moments in people’s lives unfortunately
are generally accidental people come
until Satguru I met such a wonderful
person as a staff why are you not that
wonderful person why is it that you
meeting such wonderful people if you are
feeling absolutely wonderful anything
that you look at looks wonderful isn’t
it yes so have you noticed this when you
are happy you appreciate everything when
you’re miserable everything is a whole
creation is a rubbish yes or no so this
possibility is not in the Himalayan cave
this possibility is not geographically
located in India this possibility is
here with every one of us whether we
turn inward or we find our squander our
life outward that’s all the choice you
have because the experience of life the
quality of your life is right now
determined not by what kind of clothes
you wear what kind of car you parked
outside what kind of home you live in
this moment what is the nature of your
experience is it immensely pleasant or
unpleasant or see-sawing between the two that determines the quality of your life
