[Music] [Music] hey [Laughter] um [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] oh [Laughter] [Music] i [Music] [Music] vishal [Music] my hair [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] the question is that what is meditation and what should we expect in meditation or how should we define meditation first let me say what is not a meditation then we'll come to what is meditation closing your eyes and sitting for long time is not meditation doing pranayama meaning inhalation and exhalation is not meditation and i know worldwide people are paying loads of money to learn meditation and in name of meditation they are taught some breeding techniques now these new age gurus are giving new names to their programs and courses i won't take names because that will define them which i don't wish to do pranayama is not meditation sitting down and doing your mantra is not meditation and again i know of certain gurus who used to take hundreds of dollars to give a mantra and not only this then they also say that after a period of time you have to get your mantra recharged so then they will have recharging payments done again the spiritualism is loaded with businessmen and business women who sell god or who sell the idea of god who sell meditation or who sell the idea of meditation people are not aware of the truth hence whatever is served they just take it they just lap it up and then they are made to believe that what they know or what they have heard or what they have learned is the greatest thing ever happened to humanity so they have this uh obnoxious superiority complexes that i follow this school or that guru and they're very happy in their petty lives living this balloonish idea that they know great things so doing mantra with your closed eyes with a rosary bead or without a rosary bead is also not a meditation doing asana is not a meditation being in lotus posture and sitting for three hours well it is still not meditation or hanging upside down from a branch of a tree is still not a meditation closing your eyes and never opening it up for weeks or days or months is also not meditation then now we come what is meditation meditation is like a fruit meditation is fruit of a process which you would follow meditation is not a technique another new age guru was teaching now people claim his followers claim that he gave hundreds of meditation techniques his books used to sell like hot cakes at one time but the truth is this all the techniques which were taught by him were the techniques coming from just one book just one book and that book is an a classic shaivite scripture in which parvati wife of shiva is asking the questions and she's seeking the path of meditation and shiva is answering and this conversation was witnessed by one of the disciples of shiva whose name was bhairav so that person wrote it down shiva had many disciples it's not just his wife who would live with him there were many disciples who lived with him who were learning from him the intricacies of the yogic path so buyer of wrote down and that book is called the began bhairava tantra so there are more than 300 techniques in that and i believe i'm very sure that no meditation in this universe before or after or today whatever is being taught is actually being sourced or borrowed from that book and yet people are so egoistic that they don't wish to give the credits to shiva but they wish to take the credit to themselves meditation is not a technique which you can learn and do meditation is a result of a process which you follow for for a certain period of time not it will depend individual to individual for some it will be very long for others it would be little you know in short duration they might get to that point like have you ever smelled the um when the halwa is being cooked you know when the semolina is is um being cooked the smell yeah it's coming that smell is so strong that even if somebody in your neighborhood is cooking halwa you will know oh what a beautiful fragrance now if you wish to pack that fragrance and sell but you cannot have that smell until that semolina leena is fried in that clarified butter the ghee so it's the ghee the semolina when it is being fried then this fragrance is born so i would say meditation is a fragrance of certain process what you do you cannot order on phone to a restaurant please send me two packs of halway ka khushbu you know the smell of the halwa can you please send me you know two portions of that well that's not possible you'll have to um either cook it yourself or go to a place where the halwa is being made right so meditation is like that fragrance which emits when you do certain sadhanas now when i say the certain sadness now in this pranayama will come in mantra will come in asana will come in prayer will come in singing might come in the kitten that too can come in just being in love to guru and god that two can come in so there are miscellaneous there are hundreds and thousands of things which you can do which can ultimately lead you to a certain state which can be called meditation pranayama alone is not meditation but a pranayama can lead you to meditation mantra is not meditation but mantra can lead you to meditation sitting quietly and observing the breath is not meditation but if you do this then it might lead you to meditation let's say presently what is state of your mind it's always thinking right it's always thinking either thinking about past or is thinking about future or is thinking about some present circumstances like it's too hot or too cold or bodies aching or hunger is there or thirsty is there but mind is always thinking when mind thinks the speed can be really very fast one one moment your mind will go to amndabad another moment in new york another movement in china another moment worrying about trump's foreign policy your mind can obsess about some past events some bad thing happened in childhood now this is a very fashionable thing in in america in many europeans and that is like if something bad happens to them today or they do something bad they'll end up with a psychiatrist who will say because your mother did not love you enough that is why you are dissatisfied today and that is why you have done this today so if your marriage is breaking up it is because your mother was not loved by your father and you never had a role model and hence that pain and agony has now erupted in your present marriage and your relationship has gone into sorrow so they have a tendency to blame everything on some past even it's bad childhood father was not good father was absent father was cruel mother was bad mother was cruel not enough money they were poor they were kicked out of their homes or they were in some war zone so whatever happened in the past they'll define your present because of your past right and all the advertising all cinema they are selling you dreams about a golden future so they are giving you a classy example say a romance film it's a handsome boy falling in love with the beautiful girl and they have a villain and the family is not agreeing because of race or religion or you know nationality or some another issue or the father is just simply hitting the boy you know just like that without any reason and then they run away and then they have this and if it is a hindi cinema they'll be singing all song only only and only in zurich in switzerland nowhere else never so they have a copyright issue about it so if you are an indian and if you watch the hindi movie then all romantic songs are shot in switzerland or they will create a dream sequence now millions of people watch this cinema and now in their heads they have these ideas to be that heroine or be that hero and live that love story which they have saw on the screen so can you imagine how much further your mind has to think about then advertisements of cars bikes ah even a jean they say if you wear a jean all beautiful girls will run after you wear our brand of watch and you will be loved by all miss worlds and miss universe [Music] you
