You know Charles Dobin? You heard of Charles Dobin, an English

man? That's why I'm asking.

200 years ago, born, but about hundred and fifty years ago he said you were all

monkeys, not me.

I'm not saying that.

He said that you were all monkeys.

Your tail fell away, You became human you

know the story.

When you were a monkey, you did not

aspire to be human.

Nature just push you on.

You did not choose.

But once you have become human, if you

want to evolve from here on, you have to consciously evolve.

Otherwise, there is no other way.

When I say you have to consciously

evolve, what you call as human is not an established state.

It's a flux.

This moment you can be God, like next

moment you can be a brute.

You have seen with yourself.

This moment you're wonderful.

Next moment you're nasty, Next moment

you're beautiful, Next moment you're ugly is this not happening to you?

So a human is not a being.

He's a becoming.

He's an ongoing process.

Nothing is fixed.

You can be whichever way you want to be, this freedom that you have that you're

not fixed like every other creature on this planet.

If you're aware this is the greatest benediction, because you can make

yourself whatever you want.

If you're unaware, this is the greatest

curse, humanity is right now suffering this freedom.

Humanity is not suffering bondage as people are saying.

Humanity is suffering its freedom.

If your life was also fixed, like every

other creature, you would have gone about without any stress you didn't have to do

yoga, isn't it? Isn't it so if your life was fixed like

every other creature on this planet, you wouldn't be stressed.

Only because it is not fixed you can be anything you want.

Anything, just about anything can happen in your mind.

This is why the stress, isn't it? See, suppose a tiger is born.

A tiger is not sitting and worrying how to become a good tiger.

Just get enough food, he will become a good tiger.

He is not worried.

Will I become a good tiger?

Will I end up as a house cat? No such problems.

You're born as a human being.

But still, how many things you have to do

be a good human being and still you don't know where you belong?

Isn't it only in comparison with somebody you can say, compared to this person I'm

little better by yourself, You don't know where you belong, isn't it so?

Because what is human is not an established state, it is a possibility.

It is not a fixed state.

If this possibility has to be made use

of, there is a whole system of understanding that needs to happen.

Understanding the mechanics of how this life functions and what we can do with

it. This mechanics, this technology, this

science we are referring to as yoga.

Freedom is a territory which needs lot of

maturing and culturing to handle Otherwise people doing compulsive things,

they are thinking they are free.

These are compulsive things.

Somebody is drinking.

If you say why don't you not drink today,

you can do it tomorrow why don't I have the freedom to drink?

No, it's compulsive.

If you're calling your compulsiveness as

freedom, it's very unfortunate.

You lost all your freedom in

compulsiveness. So freedom is that kind of a territory

where you have to culture yourself, mature yourself to exist, free everybody

i think at some point we provide these opportunities for young people to come

and justice be by yourself.

No compulsive talking, no phone, no

drink, no nothing simple.

You eat what you want for nourishment and

then simply be Everybody must spend at least a little bit of time like this

because only then you understand how compulsive you are.

Unfortunately, we are translating compulsiveness as some kind of a goal in

our life or freedom in our life no? See, if you want to get somewhere in your

life, get somewhere does not mean be better than somebody Do this and this

that no, As a life, your experience of life should become a fantastic

experience. So right now, all the crazy things that

people are doing in their life why they drink sexuality, temple, this meditation

whatever they're doing, why are they doing?

Because they want their experience of life to become pleasant.

Yes or no.

Somebody hits the bottle, somebody hits

somebody else and somebody does something else but essentially looking for

pleasantness. If your body becomes pleasant, we call

this health. I'm talking yoga now to you officially.

If your body becomes pleasant, we call this health.

If it becomes very pleasant, we call it pleasure.

If your mind becomes pleasant, we call this peace.

If it becomes very pleasant, we call it joy.

If your emotions become pleasant, we call it love.

If it becomes very pleasant, we call it compassion.

If your very life energies become pleasant, we call this blissfulness.

If it becomes very pleasant, we call it ecstasy.

If your surroundings become pleasant, we call this success only for this last one.

To make our surroundings pleasant, we need the cooperation of many forces

around us. Many things have to fall into place.

But to keep your body pleasant, mind pleasant, emotion pleasant, your life

energy is pleasant.

It's 100 % your business, isn't it 100 %

your business to keep this body, this mind, this emotion and this energy

pleasant within yourself? If these things are pleasant right now,

you sit here and you're blissed out.

Tell me on a day when you're very happy

or you're willing to do lot of things, or a day when you're depressed, you're

willing to do lot of things.

When you're happy, you're willing to bend

backwards and do everything possible.

When you're little unhappy how difficult

it is to move you, isn't it? So why do you say if you're blissed out,

you'll do nothing? It is just that you will no more be a

vested interest. You are not in pursuit of happiness.

Your life is an expression of your bliss.

Now what will you do?

You will do what's needed.

Every human being should be doing what is

needed, isn't it? Right now they are trying to milk

happiness from the world, destroying the world in the process.

Completely destroying the world.

See today, what is it that this

ecological disasters unfolding what do you think it is in pursuit of human

happiness? Isn't it nothing else in pursuit of human

happiness we have turned this planet into a bonfire and people are not even happy.

Forget about being happy, most people are in different state of struggles.

So it's very important what is in your hands.

1st, all those things must be taken charge of.

What we do in the world? Let us see to what extent the world

allows us to do it.

Your body, your mind, your emotions and

your energies must take instructions from you.

Isn't it so? So how the hell do you think you will go

where you want in your life when somebody else and somebody else can make this

body? If this person do whatever they want, at

least what happens within you must be determined by you.

What happens around you.

It'll never be hundred percent determined

by you.

If you work hard, little more influence,

otherwise little less influence but never hundred percent.

Outside situations will always be like that and they should be like that.

Because if the whole world happens the way you want, then where do I go?

Little bit your way, little bit my way, little bit somebody else's way it's fine.

But what happens here must be my way.

If this one thing happens your way, will

you keep yourself blissful miserable depressed what?

So essentially, you must understand.

You can call it stress, anxiety, misery,

depression whatever you call it, essentially, your intelligence has turned

against you.

That's all that's happened to you,

because there is no any kind of knowledge in your education system from ABC to

Trill this day.

How to take charge of the faculties that

you have within yourself.

There is no addressing it at all.

If you address it, people say, oh, you are archaic.

This has become the norm in the country.

If you say you need to do something with

yourself, no we do everything outside no you need to do something with yourself,

because otherwise you will not happen the way you want yourself to be that's a

disastrous life.
