1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,200
uh one of the things I know you do to
2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:06,000
detox is vipasana it had a a big um
3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,160
impact on you tell us a bit about
4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,840
pattern you know for for our audiences
5
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,360
here in India how Indian culture and
6
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,040
vasana has had a huge role for you yeah
7
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,600
so I've been meditating vasana for 24
8
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,560
years now I do two hours more or less
9
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,560
every day and I come almost every year
10
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,160
to India to do a long meditation with
11
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,359
treat of one month or two months of of
12
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:30,640
the Persona and for me the the key
13
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,280
question in meditation is what is
14
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,200
reality the mind is constantly
15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,800
producing uh fictions fictional stories
16
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,200
imaginations and they come between us
17
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,000
and reality humans almost never
18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,320
encounter reality we only encounter the
19
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,079
fictions produced by our minds or by the
20
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:54,160
minds of somebody else or increasingly
21
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,079
the fictions produced by AIS and we
22
00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:00,399
don't react to the reality we react to
23
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:02,320
the fictions to the
24
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,439
images meditation is all about learning
25
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:08,400
to tell the difference what is a fiction
26
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,840
and what is reality like when you close
27
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,479
your eyes and sit down at least for me
28
00:01:13,479 --> 00:01:16,720
the the question that keeps repeating is
29
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,000
what is really happening right now you
30
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,600
know it starts with the simplest
31
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,320
exercise of just feeling your breath
32
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:25,479
coming in and out of your nostrils oh
33
00:01:25,479 --> 00:01:27,600
now the breath is coming in now the
34
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,439
breath is going out this is reality
35
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:32,360
the breath is really coming in the
36
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,360
breath is really going out you don't try
37
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,759
to create or control anything you just
38
00:01:36,759 --> 00:01:39,920
observe reality and the amazing thing is
39
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,880
most people can do it for maybe 5
40
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,520
Seconds 10 seconds and some image comes
41
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,200
some fiction comes some memory comes and
42
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,840
hijacks our attention and then for five
43
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,799
minutes you roll in some fantasy Until
44
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:56,560
you realize hey I'm supposed to be
45
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,399
watching the reality you come come back
46
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:01,360
to breath again something fantasy comes
47
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,360
and this was like maybe the the the
48
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,240
first thing I understood when I started
49
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,080
meditating 24 years ago is that I have
50
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,080
no control of my mind and I spend almost
51
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,360
my entire life engaged with
52
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,800
fantasies and not with
53
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,760
reality and meditation is just an
54
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,599
exercise for the mind how to let go of
55
00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:26,319
the fantasies and get in touch with the
56
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:28,640
reality people sometimes think that
57
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:30,920
meditation is escape from reality you
58
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:33,280
have all these things in politics in
59
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,239
business in your personal life and you
60
00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:37,040
say oh I I just sit in the corner and
61
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,040
close my eyes I disconnect from reality
62
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,519
I think it's the opposite that we spend
63
00:02:42,519 --> 00:02:46,159
most of our Lives engaged with fantasies
64
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:49,319
we have no idea what the reality is and
65
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:52,239
at least for two hours a day I train my
66
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:56,000
mind to get in touch with reality if I
67
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,599
cannot observe the reality of my breath
68
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:01,720
going going in and out of my nostrils
69
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,599
because of all these fantasies what hope
70
00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:07,799
do I have of understanding the reality
71
00:03:07,799 --> 00:03:09,799
of the political situation in the Middle
72
00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:12,519
East or of the economic crisis or
73
00:03:12,519 --> 00:03:16,200
whatever it will only be fantasy5211
