From wherever my selfish motives gets fulfilled, I like that. Where it doesn't happen, there's anguish. You do it and see, With whomever you are related, It may be any relationship-A,B,C,D. I'm saying it for all. For any relation, if you do every action as per their will, you meet all their demands, keep on, keep on, keep on doing so... Don't do just a single thing one day. -It's all done. Now, they will always remember. -You didn't do it at that time. -At that time, you didn't give it to me. "Well, when I gave you...what about all those things!? -Well, Forget that! What wasn't given, that is always remembered. You know why, it's our mind's habit. It's the habit of everyone's mind. The mind only looks for what it doesn't have. In childhood, when a tooth got lost from the mouth, Then, where does your tongue go repeatedly? At that very spot, where the tooth is missing. And those that are there are forgotten. The same is your mind's habit. Wherever some desire doesn't get fulfilled, we remember only that much. That's why, all worldly relationships.... I'm saying all relationships... are very fickle. It's all about convenience. And it's all about you scratch my back, I scratch your back. And I may not scratch your back, but you have to scratch my back. But, that doesn't works. That doesn't works like... So, you need to learn to enjoy your own company. So, 10 minutes, sit down at any time. Just remember, don't move your limbs. If you keep on moving hands-feet, shoulders, keep on opening the eyes to look around, For example, some people, I am singing a bhajan. Some people dance in abandon. They like the rhythm, then they dance. But, few are there, whom I call Tamash-been. Beena means eyes. So, tamashbeen mean those whose eyes just know how to watch a drama. So, they're just turning around to see, wondering what has happened to him? What's gone wrong with him? Why is he moving? Else they can comment in some way that they're showing off, they do a drama. He's this, that, this, that... Well, nothing is happening to you. So, it's okay. If something is happening to someone, then it is okay. Why should you just watch? Now, someone is eating golgappe in front of you, then let him eat, Why are you drooling? And maybe their own throat is bad, that's why cannot eat, So, they say, these are made from such dirty water... See People are eating on roadside. Did you see that video? -Kneading golgappe dough with feet! He said, "When you were eating yesterday, were they okay?" Then, were they all kneaded with his hands? Then, too, they were kneaded with feet. Now, they don't have a machine & they need to make too many. What do they do? Maybe they wash their feet, I hope so, But i don't know. I am not their spokesperson. But, when you want to eat something, you eat. Then, you don't think about hygiene then... Right? Sometimes when few things are seen, then, you come to know. That he had an itch over here. He scratched over here & then, the same hand, into the golgappa... He dipped into kanji. He's giving the lady to eat. She says, "Wow, how Savoury!" Now, is his kanji tasty or chutney tasty or is it his itch? ...The red, blue, yellow tincture on that? The same went into his hand & she says for the same, "Very tasty, very tasty!" Nowadays, it is trend, they say, wear plastic glove first & you know, be sure. Though may I say this- With this glove thing, it's become like as if someone gives you alphonso mango, & gives you fork & knife to eat it. He deserves a slap! Is Alphonso to be eaten with fork & knife?! Use your hands to eat it. Until it does spread all across the mouth... some juice doesn't fall onto the clothes, what's the fun of eating a mango? What? So, the truth is, today, I'll tell you the scientific reason why you love the taste of golgappas. That sweat he exudes, [Audience laughs] that goes into kanji, That taste of his blood & sweat, its that which is very tasty. Make it at home & see... its never tastes like that, does it? Mom says many times, "Hey, at bazaar, its bad, I will make!" She can't eat what she has made herself. How would you eat? Why should we keep an eye on others? Let's fill the bag of our heart so much, that we stay in an abandon. & we shouldn't worry about what do others think, what do they see, what do they do? But, it can happen only when you have the insight of true knowledge. & the stillness of meditation. So, it's very important- 10-15 minutes, everyday, sit down, do deep breathing with the count. Do nadi shodhan pranayam. & if you have a good say, 30-35 minutes, then, do Urja. Sakriya dhyan. & it's amazing. How all the steam within you will come out. How the mind will get light by doing sakriya urja meditation! Let me take some of your questions. Umm... Radha Gupta..? Hmm... The question is, you told us that , the recognition of things ... recognition of things is done by our mind, So, what function does intellect do in our body? The intellect gives, one, identity to that which is percieved. For example, you saw something, Its green color. So, which green color is it? Is it dark green? Is it pale green? Is it bottle green? So, when your intellect recognizes that, no, no! It is this. Mind gives you options. Intellect seals by choosing one. Did you understand? Mind means a lot of thoughts. Intellect means when you finally chose a particular thing. & it becomes decisive. Decisive, completion, sealed now. That is what intellect is. Hmm... Anu Kaushik.. Yeah..! Is it a question or you're just expressing your thoughts? Maybe... it's just thoughts only. She writes that- Instead of looking to be right all the time, we should be looking how we are wrong all the time. But, I think we are then... Why does everyone feel so entitled to be right all the time? Who made all these rules? What is right, what is wrong? What are you supposed to do? What are you not supposed to do? Because it is so difficult for people... she's going on and on... Okay! -for people to accept that someone can be at fault as well. I can ignore them, but I want to permanently block them... How to do that? Well, life is not Facebook! Where you can block someone permanently. Such an option isn't there. The people you don't like, you will see them everyday. Now, you're going on the road. and, you say, "I don't accept that I must drive my vehicle on the left" "I would drive on the right.... I've come from America!" But, In Bharat, we don't drive on the right side! Here, 'right' would be wrong! In America, at various places, where there is turn, from the freeway, Towards... So, there it is written- Wrong side, wrong side! Now, that is 'right' for us! But, it's wrong for that place! I have mentioned about these books just so that you read and attain wisdom. & then, for yourself, what is right, what is wrong, you decide it for yourself. Not the others. If you do something wrong, then, you've chosen that. Then, you only have to accept its consequences. Right? Tania... Hmm... Tania has come from Melbourne; just for the shivir? Good... See, from how far the girl has come! We have Shraddha from US & Tania from Melbourne. Her question is-"How do you forgive yourself & the other person who absolutely destroyed you- mentally, physically & emotionally? Someone who used you sexually, mentally for money, and their own selfish purpose... and also someone who has put you in a dark place where you don't want to live anymore, because you feel hopeless, useless, How do you move... past... that? I'm here to seek your help and guidance for a better and a positive life. Tania, I'll say a story to you first. There was a king who was sleeping on his golden bed. And then, he had a dream. And in dream... He saw he is lost in a jungle without his army, and his soldiers... his protectors... And he is walking barefoot in a hot desert. His feet are burning. He's thirsty and hungry; His clothes are tattered. And there are these big wolves who want to eat him up. And he's running and the wolves are chasing him. And while doing that, he climbs up a tree and thinks I'm safe here. But, right on the top of the tree, there was a huge scorpion sitting. And not just one, actually the whole tree was laced with such scorpions. There were hundreds of snakes over there. So, there are wolves beneath. And there are snakes... there. He is crying and he is hungry and he is so helpless! And death is imminent. And he cries out loud. And he wakes up from his sleep. But, he's perspiring, still. And he's sweating and shivering in his body. His wife wakes up. And she says, "What happened?" And he can't even speak. He is still, so... in a shock. Wife brought him glass of water. He drank the water. Wife massaged his back and she said, "Breathe, breathe, breathe!" And after a while, he... he speaks up. And says, "Oh, my queen!" "It was a a horrible dream!" And he stated his whole dream in all details. And queen heard the whole story. And then said, "But my Lord, it was just a dream!" Nothing... more...than... a Dream! King said, "But, now, I can say that it was a dream, but when it was happening, it was so real!" Queen patted his back again and said very calmly, "My Lord..." "But, now, you have woken up!" "that bad dream is gone!" What you see is actually... A dream...! But, we think it is a reality. And we tend to feel hurt and abused and forced to experience lot of pain and anguish. But, I'll be your queen and say, "Wake up, it was just a dream!" [Audience applauds!] What you saw in the dreams... you don't go out to look for those things...! Because you know it was just a dream! What happened in the past is already a dream. It is just sitting in one neuron of your brain! And the more you think; And the more you think, the more it haunts But, it is just a past event, which has happened. And you know, every 3 months, we have new blood running in our body. Every... 5 months, we have new skin. Every 6 months, even the cells of your bones change. This means, every 7 years, we have a new body. We have a new body. Nothing is same. Even if we want to hold this change, we cannot. So... The body, which was abused, The body... Which felt that torture and pain- that body is not there anymore, Tania. You have a new body. And actually, by doing Yoga Asanas, and Pranayama, and Mantras, you have sanctified this temple of your... This body is not the body, it is a temple, right? That is what we were singing in the morning session. "Ye kaya tera mandir hai, Prabhu baitha tere ander hai" So can any temple be desecrated? "No" So, can any body be desecrated? No...! So, you are as pure as your Atman is, so is this body! It is just mind, which wishes to hold on those memories. And again and again and again and again, it wants to go there. and sometimes, you might like to push it in your subconscious But, again it pops up! You know one thing you see, one thing you hear, and again a memory comes up and again gives you a pain. But, I would say a very simple... thing for you if you can, trust me... and understand me. It was just a dream...! Wake up! Wake up! Shivani... What is difference between Mantra and Chalisa? For example, we have Durga, Durga Chalisa, Durga Mantra. Why do we need to practice these and how do they affect our body? And some people say if you read this chalisa, it will give you some wealth or improves your health or intellect, is it really true? Chalisa actually....Ummm.. Originally it's like there are these 40 lines, 40 lines are there which have been written in praise of the Lord or in praise of Devi. And, then this also happens that they say that if you read these lines- almost all the the Ganpati's, Shankara's, Devi's, all these Chalisas, they all end here. The one who desires wealth- "Labhate Dhanam"- gets wealth... The one that desires Laxmi- "Labhate Laxmi"- gets prosperity. "Labhate Aayu"- gets long life... "Labhate Santaan"- gets progeny... enrolling everything from here and there, means... this is like we praised Mother Durga so much, so much, so much... And, later said, "Please give some money!"-Begged for alms! Are you mad?
