Gautama Buddha was a prince Right? Lumbini, where He was born - in today's time it is in Nepal Now the prince is supposed to be the future king, right? And it is said about His life that He was extremely beautiful, His height, built and His body was very strong And a beautiful body He was a warrior Horse riding, archery, using a spear, wrestling He played all these games and won in all of them Not just this, He could play musical instruments too - He had good knowledge of music So, a person is handsome, rich, is a prince and then He gets married - to whom? With Yashodhara Yashodhara was one of the most beautiful princesses of her time And she also knew horse riding, how to use a spear, archery - she was a complete kshatrani (warrior) too So, they were both an ideal couple Then after some time, they had a son and they named him Rahul It's a happy go lucky family - everything is fair and good but then one day - Since He was born, He had never left the palace Father thought that everything is set now, His son is married and also has a son Now, why would he go in the direction of the prophecy that was made at the time of his birth 'That He would either become a King or a renunciate' So that He doesn't become a renunciate, all arrangements were made So, He asked, "Can I go?"; Father said, "Yes, go" But still he (father) didn't take a chance So, he asked his ministers to make sure that what He saw was beautiful people, decorated streets, musical bands playing, flowers being showered and people singing and dancing Decorate with ornaments Play music And no ugly-looking man or woman should come in front of Him He went on day 1 and took a round, Siddhartha really enjoyed a lot And then after a few days, He said - "I want to see it again" And without telling anyone, He took His charioteer whose name was Channa and left the palace There were no arrangements on that day Today, He saw the reality of his city What? Everything was not beautiful, no bands were playing, there were no ornaments Flowers were not being showered Normal life was going on In the meantime, He saw an old woman with a hunchedback And He saw a sick person who was screaming in pain And He saw a dead person being cremated Siddhartha got a huge shock and He asked, "What is this?!" - He asked Channa So, Channa said, "Prince, one day you will also get old" "One day you will also have a hunched back" "One day your body will also get diseased" "And one day, your body will die too" Siddhartha became almost crazy seeing all this He just kept looking at that dead body burning on the funeral pyre And He became very sad and disappointed and Channa pulled him away and made Him sit on the chariot But on the way, he saw a Mahatma who is in meditation with his eyes closed His face is absolutely calm Siddhartha asked, "How come he is so calm?" "How come he is sitting with such a smile?" "After everything that I saw today, what is this?" Channa said, "This is a Mahatma - he has attained Paramatman that's why he is like this now" That night, Siddhartha couldn't sleep For next several days, "What that Mahatma has attained, I also want that" Old age, diseases, death will come to everyone - no one can escape Whether someone is poor or rich "So, what can I do so I can escape death?" "What can I do so I can escape old age?" His whole being was on fire And then one night, He left His sleeping wife, son, and father - renouncing the palace, He left And when He reached the edge of the forest, He cut His own hair with a knife and threw them away He took off His nice silk clothes and gave them to a beggar He took his tattered clothes and wore them And went into the forest looking for a Guru For nearly six years, He went to many Gurus He did many kids of sadhana (disciplined practice) But His mind was not satisfied And while gaining knowledge and learning everything, when He sat down under a tree - Then, He attained to Buddhatva (enlightenment) The things a person demands, thinks and dreams about Huh? He had all that without working, without studying - He didn't do anything but had everything But did that give contentment to His mind? All this wealth, kingdom, army and the throne - did these give contentment to His mind? A boy was saying to me once, "He didn't have the intelligence, if I had all this I would have really enjoyed" But I will give you an example - who all like kheer (rice pudding)? Oh! Nice - majority OK, how many bowls of kheer can you eat? Tell me Two? Four? Who is saying six? Show me your face dear OK, it's you - anyone above six? Ok, eight! Anyone above eight? Ten! Say your name - the one who can eat ten? Where are you from? From Indore I will make you eat twenty bowls today You are saying ten, I will make you eat twenty - ready? Now, just think - no matter how good something is, you can eat it in a limit You said ten, OK so eat ten But after 10, maybe you can eat the 11th somehow but you will have difficulty with the 12th bowl With the 13th bowl, you will feel like vomiting 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th - so if the kheer was tasty and you eat more, should you find it more enjoyable or less? But it actually reduces I learned something very beautiful today, I will also share that with you Husband and wife both died together Wife became a witch and husband became a ghost Wandering around, one day both of them ran into each other The witch wife says - "Oh, you are actually looking good" The ghost husband says, "You are looking just like before" "You were a witch earlier and you are a witch now - there is no difference" Honeymoon period of married couple almost ends in about 5 years Within that time, 2 or 3 kids come It completely ends - then the husband says, "Don't you want to visit your parents? Go see them" Earlier when they are newly married, he doesn't let her go - "No, no, no - how will I live without you darling - no, you cannot go" "I cannot live without you" They make each other listen to all those romantic songs By 6th or 7th year, the same man she loved - now when he scratches his big belly all day Looking at it, "What have you become, look at your face - why can't you wear any decent clothes?" "You spend the whole day in this tattered pajama, why don't you do something?" He says, "That's what I am doing" "What?"; "My belly is itching so I have scratched it but please scratch my back" People don't live in discipline See whenever I joke on marriage, I am not undermining the institution of marriage Absolutely not! But the kind of life all of you live, I have to say that at least....What they say? "Precaution is better than accident" So, I keep giving this warning that use your intellect too, don't just look at the face Face can be made up in a beauty parlor- in INR 2000 But the makeup won't remain on your face, the whole time At some point, you will have to wash your face And when you wash you face, what will happen then? The truth will come out then, right? Marriage is a very good institution but where the woman is complete in herself and the man is complete in himself They shouldn't be saying this to each other - "You complete me" So if you are incomplete, how can you complete your spouse? Hmm? Sign of a complete man is that who doesn't need anyone else to complete him And same goes for the woman The woman is complete in her own self - she is financially secure, she is emotionally secure Now, girls are always looking for a shoulder And boys are ready to lend their shoulder If no one takes, then friends lean on each others' shoulder and cry that we can't find any girl "The world says that girls are emotional but we didn't find even one" Because they get emotional after seeing everything How does he look? How much money does he have? Is he intelligent? Is he politically well-connected or not? Chandu Lal found a boy for his daughter The boy had very good income, very good job and house but his teeth were a little big Chandu Lal says, "How are his teeth, they are coming out?!" "And he doesn't look good - when he laughs, he looks like a demon" Chandu Lal's wife said, "Don't worry" "Our daughter is such, he won't even laugh after marriage!" "If he won't even laugh, then his bad teeth won't show - so don't worry about it" Chandu Lal said, "How can you say that?"; she said, "Just look at your face" "When did you ever laugh in our marriage of twenty years? Do you even remember?" Hmmm....listen to one more This is also fresh information from today A wife said to her husband, "Hear me out, I want to say something today - I have never demanded anything from you" "But I am asking today, please buy me a new jewelry set" Husband said, "What? I just bought you one yesterday" She said, "Open your ears and listen - I said that I am asking today!" "Today, I am asking - why are you crying for yesterday?" "Today, I am asking today" "I am saying, I didn't ask for anything today - I am saying, give me something for the first time today" "Oh God! How long did it take for you to understand!" "At least it's good you understood today otherwise it would be a long story by tomorrow!" Manasi Makkol - yes "My question is - "Which class are you in dear? Journalism...hmm You need to improve your Hindi language a little bit I have a request that if you write in Hindi, then write good Hindi And if you write in English then don't write Hindi in it When you write English, then write completely in English When you write Hindi, then write completely in Hindi So, you have to work very hard You can't become a journalist if this is the situation - improve you language a bit "My question is that I try a lot to control my anger but sometimes it is difficult to control the anger" "How can I control my moods?" "My written Hindi is weak, if you found it difficult to understand then please forgive me" Ahh...that's nice that wrote this with honesty because there are a lot of mistakes in this If I were your Hindi teacher, you would have got a zero Hmmm....you couldn't even eat that egg, you could only see it Look, when do we get angry? And this is not just about Manasi - this is everyone's story Why do we get angry? One - when our demands are not fulfilled Right? Two - when someone starts taunting us too much, right? Three - when we don't get what we want Four - what we get is something we didn't want Right? I will add a fifth reason with these four - we want to become like others And your role models are those - like a new film came, a new actress came - so every girl wants to become that actress A new hero came, he is an action hero, he jumps from one building to another - you don't know that there is a steel wire attached to him Just check a little bit whether they use a body-double like themselves in dance and action in movies They don't risk their life at all But they make a story that shows them as very brave, etc. but it's nothing like that It's just an act But you want to become like that actor There are some actors who maybe work very hard They have built very good bodies But Now, if you want to become like them and despite all the hard work if you don't get that body then obviously you will get angry But the question is that - You have five fingers in your hand - this one is small and this one is little big and this is even bigger, then this is small and this thumb is the smallest But you can't compare these Now if the thumb says I should be like the first finger, first says I should be like second, third or fourth Then they won't be able to do their own job properly So, you will have to remove the fifth reason Don't try to be like someone else Hmm? Now if you are no tall, why do you need to wear a 6 inch heel? After that your ankles hurt and you get bunions and you need to get the bone cut off and you are always in pain And your hip structure gets damaged And you get problems in your bones - why do you need to wear them? If your height is short then enjoy this short height
