[Music] that was a very big point adultery is not acceptable yeah I know these days they have concept of open marriage meaning we are together but we'll be seeing other people also I know these marriages are also happening but the intelligent people found this idea and let me say before this institution called marriage was there it was like an open marriages people were just you know having you know some days some months with somebody and then someone's with somebody and so on so forth but the biggest brunt is indeed by the children whom will they call the father's who is the father now so this this point became slowly-slowly so important and the constant figures has to be there hence the mothers in the father's they are readied to one another so they are loyal to one another and child is seeing this love happening in between the mother and father so child is learning so many things like being loyal not being getting led with your mind all the times you know the mind is like the but I would say a greedy dog you know why I am saying greedy dog because in Indian school education system we always had this essay to write and the stories of a greedy dog you know a dog had a bread piece in his mouth he is just roaming around and Hindi sees his reflection in water and he thinks oh that's another dog who has a piece of bread and I want this bread too and he opens his mouth to bark and to snatch the reflected bread and he loses his own bread also so children used to write this essay greedy dog and I say mind is actually the greedy dog once this also that also this also so marriage was for bringing a discipline to your sexual behaviors to bring on system or family to bring on a system of loyalty and then companionship and also in hard times you have a dependable friend with you now let me say Bharat is one country which from day one would teach even small children that objective of life is what Dharma artha kama Moksa for objectives Dharma being in the true sense of what we are loosely we can say religion Arthur it is economics that is money experiencing the world and getting your desires associated in karma the desires and the moksha is that coming out of all bondages so all these ideas were inculcated by the teachers to all the school children can you imagine that a six year eight years nine year ten year old child is listening to the lecture of a school teacher that objective of your life is to practice Dharma artha kama and Moksa unfortunately now the only one lecture which a child is going to hear is Arthur that is economics money and money and money and that brings me to your question Tony she says if we don't worry about money then how will we live well I have never denied and I have never said that money is not important it is but don't make money the new god we need money to satisfy our needs I said that if you are hungry you need food you need clothing you need a shelter right and you need a place to rest when you are sick and you need to be now that means a house and an apartment well for that also again you need money and when you walk and you pay taxes well like in this country your medical aid is provided by the government in India we don't have this system so if you get sick then you have to pay for your medicines so it's a very risky business to be sick in India it is okay to be is it okay to be sick in Spain because the government is going to provide you with all the meds but the truth is this being sick is not a good feeling at all nobody should ever be sick everybody should be very healthy but point is we don't need money for our needs but the point is these needs are not difficult to satisfy but this mind has one more thing and that is greed and greed is unsuitable let me give you one story it is said that one time in an emperors coats mystic came in King was very happy he said I'm very honored that a mystic has walked in my coat he said what can I give you what can I offer you mystic said I am just a simple man I have this small bowl can you fill this bowl Emperor just gave a very cynical laughter it's just a small bowl and I am a king and I have so much he said what to say why would I fill your bowl with just grains or pulses or bread alone King announced let this Mystics begging bowl be filled with gold and diamonds everybody was very surprised you don't do this but he said no let's do it so the gold was fetched you know in a small container and poured into placed into the bowl but a magic a kind of a magic was happening that the moment the place to hold Bowl in it got filled but then it's all just vanished nothing is there and then they placed some more gold into the bowl and then again that to vanish and then more and then more and then more gold was fetched from the treasures and then more gold is being and a point came when the whole treasures of the Emperor's was empty nothing was left Emperor was sweating and perspiring and was getting very anxious what is happening well there is this all gold going he said please I'm sorry for saying this but I cannot fill this bowl and I have just one question what is this bowl what is it made of where is all gold going the mystic said Oh Emperor this bowl is nothing but made out of the human skull a human mind is not going to be filled cannot be satiated when this person was alive this person was always greedy hence that greediness is still there in this skull that's why whatever gold went into it it has eaten it up so this mystical Sufi story is just implying that the human minds greed is endless and if you think that you can satisfy your greed by doing this or that it is going to be impossible if you have say hundred thousand euros then your mind will ask and demand and wish for 200,000 if you have 200,000 it will hope and dream to have 1 million those who have 1 million they will be dreaming to have 10 millions or become you know richer and richer and and there is no end to that so when I say money is going to be utterly useless because money alone cannot satisfy your greed yes it can fulfill your needs and you should be working to fulfill your need but don't think that money alone can bring you happiness now these days people use plastic money meaning credit cards now you have a credit card you can buy as much as you want you can go to any restaurant and you can go to very expensive restaurant and you can order food but my question is can you order hungers can you order ability to digest that food which you are going to eat you know I sometimes wonder you know the the most large volume of medicine which is sold world over is what it is anti-acid people are buying empty acid why because they are so greedy to eat and there is so much food choices around you and you eat and eat and eat and eat but your poor stomach cannot digest everything hence you are burping and belching and flatulence is there and constipation is there hence you need some medicines to digest that you can buy 10 million dollar Villa and have its you know the most advanced electronic gadgets in that yes you can have but can you have peace of mind to being in this home villa being in this house you might have the best bed you know last time I was in America there matrices and you know new technology and that is they give you a remote so you can make it farm with the press of button you can make it soft with the press of button you can change it into heating mattress at a press of button vibrations can come to you at a press of button but they still don't have a button which you will present sleep will come they can't sleep so you are having the best mattress and yet you can't sleep why one you have eaten too much so your stomach your belly is too much full too your mind is too full why your mind is too full your mind is having so many thoughts so many thoughts are racing and racing in mind and this disturbance of mind will put the sleep away hence you want to be able to sleep even after having a best villa a best bed a best mattress the best air conditioner and yet you can't sleep so after the anti acid which is the most sold medicine the sleeping pill so money cannot give you that peace of mind money cannot give you sleep money cannot give you appetite and money cannot give you trusts actually if you have more money some cousin is coming to see you now I'm talking to all the cindy sitting here you know some cousin is coming to see you from Ahmedabad and you would wonder or she has come to take money from me they all think we live in Europe and we have loads of money in these relatives they are definitely coming to get some you know loan from us but maybe that person is not coming for money the person is just coming actually to see you or maybe to you know see the Barcelona Street and the beauty of the buildings over here the ancient buildings of the the beaches or whatsoever but the mindless doubting the mind is suspect she's you know summer so the husband has a password on his phone and the wife has a password on his on her phone and these days the passwords are not enough now they have you know the face recognition but first came from impression right then came face recognition I know of a person she said that my husband wouldn't tell me what is his password and then I thought he must have taken that you know thumb impression so one day he was sleeping so she brought his phone and placed his thumb on that which it still wouldn't open she used to his one finger two three four five the other hand all fingers none the phone still wouldn't open up why because the man the husband used his big toe now who would wonder that the big toe can be used to create a password now this this face recognition thing is very dangerous you can sleep somebody can bring that there for your phone and just the phone opens up why people are Miss trusting one another because they think this person might be seeing somebody so you have all the money but then you have doubt you have all the money but then you have suspicions you have all the money and you are unable to relate even with your own family members what to stay say with strangers you know one thing which I have found you know in this country especially is that people don't look in one another's eyes and people don't smile enough and you know no animal can smile only we human beings can smile have you ever seen a cat smiling no she perverse have you seen a dog smiling no he just barks have you seen a pigeon or a bird smiling no only the human beings can smile and so poor of us that we can't even smile because our minds are so much filled with the agony and grief and pain and disturbances and the mistrust is so big so there is no peace of mind so money is of great utility true but money isn't answer for all the problems which you will have money is good if you spend it wisely but money can be a curse too and money can be a boon to if you have the wisdom then money is a boon and if you don't have wisdom then money can become the curse you get mobbed you get robbed do you you get your money get stolen it's so easy you know when the mother is bringing up the revolver or a knife you will just give away and then you will wonder oh why did I had this money with me why did I had this money with me why was I wearing this jewelry because the jewelry attracted all those bad elements to you money is not bad but when you become possessive of money that is bad and when you become slave of money that is worse that is worse condition use it but don't make money or God but there are people for the money is everything I was reading this small passage may be written by the owner and the CEO of the Apple company Steve Jobs and he said money isn't answers for all the problems so don't seek money seek knowledge seek laughters seek art seek smiles seek beauty and not just money my name is not everything [Music]
