on a certain day two cows were grazing on the English meadow English cows
one cow asked other what is your opinion about the mad cow disease the other cow
said I don't care a hoot I am anyway helicopter being a mystic being a
realized being is just like this a cow realizing that it's a cow and it becomes
a celebrated cow holy cow isn't it is it that simplistic so let me tell you my
story so as a child one thing that I realized was that I was utterly
absolutely ignorant and everybody around me seemed to know just about everything
I did not know anything at all so because I did not know anything I had to
pay enormous attention towards everything my sense of attention become
became like this if I see a leaf I could just sit there looking at this leaf just
staring at it for hours if I set up in my bed just staring at the darkness I
could just do this for the whole night so this attention brought a completely
different level of involvement and interaction with just about anything and
everything around me animate and inanimate but everybody else seemed to
know everything and they were just going about their life busy and happy but I
was just tearing at every little thing then I saw that I realized that even
they did not know anything it is just that they had their assumptions and
belief systems that they were happy with either of their own or what was handed
down to them by someone else and they not only knew about what is here they
also knew about other worlds about gods about heavens and everything and here I
was struggling to figure out what is work
so this so intrigued me that I started planting myself outside our main Tarot
major here in Mysore because I wanted to
really see after having a meeting with God after having a conversation with God
how people will be so I stood there intensely observing every face that's
walking out of the temple and generally I heard local gossip
sometimes in Indian temples your Footwear walks away with someone else
and then I see here people cursing the creation and the Creator I always found
people walking out of restaurants as are always had more joyful faces than people
walking our temples divine versus dosa dosa seems to win I could not come to
terms with this and so I slowly became more and more and more skeptical about
everybody and everything around me skeptical about social structures
political systems religious beliefs even scientific theories because none of them
match with my experience of life on a certain day I started moving towards
Chamundi Hill you must say this place and there is a tradition in Mysore if
you have something to do you go to Chamundi Hill if you have nothing to do
you go to Chamundi Hill if you fall in love you go to charm on the hill if you
fall out you go to Chamundi Hill I have just fallen out and I had nothing to do
so I started moving towards Germany Hill and I went up and said in a rock there
till that moment in my life I always thought this is me and that somebody
else in something else but for the first time I did not know which is me and
which is not me suddenly what was me was just all over the place the very rock on
which I was sitting the air that I breathe the very atmosphere around me I
had just exploded into everything that sounds like after insanity this I
thought lasted for 10 to 15 minutes but when I came back to my normal
consciousness I was about four and a half hours I was
sitting there fully conscious eyes open but time had just flipped in my
experience for the first time in my adult life tears were flowing down and
I've always been peaceful and happy that was not an issue but here I was drenched
in a completely different kind of blissfulness every cell in my body
bursting with ecstasy when I shook my head and trying to get some logical
explanation for what's happening to me the only thing that my where is smart
mind could say was maybe I'm just going off my rocker
this experience has it deepened and it started repeating itself if I just sit
here what is moments for me seemed to be
hours for others I think it's a minute hours have gone on a certain day I
happened to be sitting in a certain place
I actually thought it's about 25-30 minutes but when I came to my normal
senses thirteen days had gone by I was sitting right there India being what it
is a whole crowd had gathered Garland's around my neck people that seen my feet
somebody wants to know what will happen to his business somebody wants to know
when his daughter will get married all the things that I hated was just
happening around me and I had to move away from this place just to avoid this
crowd around me and as this experience deepened into me one thing that happened
to me was everything that I believed was me suddenly was not me this was always
me and suddenly I found this is just an accumulation of food that I've eaten
what I accumulate can be mind but can never be me this is just a huge heap of
impressions in my mind and this body and mind not being me but just being mine a
distance arose between me and my body between me and my mind this also
facilitated a certain experience within me that suddenly the equation of time
and space was suddenly not applicable for me I was seeing that what is here is
there what is there is here past present and future got mixed up it was one
majestic Yass but utterly beautiful so my skeptical
mind not able to come to terms with it was I was static sad conducting
experiments these experiments are too weird to talk about and the results to
fairytale is for anybody to believe but one thing that I arrived at was that
existence is not human centric and all human experience is self-made most
people believe that their experience is molded by what situations in which they
exist but all human experience is 100% self created from within I think today a
lot of science is beginning to agree with that and having realized it if all
experience is created from within if the basis of your experience is within you
the seat of your experience is within you as it is what kind of experience of
life would you want to have for yourself I'm sure you want it to be at most
pleasantness whatever you may be doing what you want for your neighbor may be
debatable but what you want for yourself definitely you want at most pleasantness
as I realize the basis of my experiences within me I shifted from staring at
things to sitting with my eyes closed this was a dimensional shift in my life
from staring to sitting with my eyes closed I got so fascinated with this
human mechanism I wouldn't want to open my eyes for days on end I'm just keeping
my eyes closed wanting to see everything about this one
and what I realized was if I take a piece of bread and put it into this
system this piece of bread becomes my body in a few hours and I begin to
experience this as myself this amazing process as I became more and more aware
of it I saw the very source of creation the very maker of this body the
manufacturer of this body is within once I saw this and I could see that I could
rewire my brains completely in 24 hours changing myself beyond social upbringing
family situations even genetic qualities in me I could see I could just
completely change everything about myself in 24 hours I am a different
person under 24 hours I'm a different person I was like a conscious hits of
family trying out different things on a certain day I just in a field hockey
game I fractured my left ankle and I went and sat down in a place I was in
excruciating pain and by then I had also become a chronic aesthetic and I had a
very serious of estimate and this pain and this inability to breathe together
they were quite something at that moment it occurred to me if the
maker of this body is inside why is it that I cannot mend this from inside I
thought I sat down with a sudden resolve if this is true I must be able to allow
it to mend itself otherwise I must be completely in a wrong track I said i sat
down with my eyes closed for about little more than an hour when I came out
my asked my left me never to come back again and above all my fractured leg was
perfectly okay and little about little more than an hour's time armed with this
experience I started creating methods and systems through which every human
being could access that intelligence and that capability within the system which
can make a piece of bread into a human being this intelligence and this
competence within the human system which is not just about thought process exists
in every human being but unfortunately remains untapped and I went about
creating systems that people could make use of today these technologies for
inner well-being these methods to engineer your interior tea the way you
want it millions of people are making use of it and enjoying the benefits of
that but the essential part of this is that there is such a high level of
intelligence and competence competence on every millimetre of the body every
point of the body not just in the thought process
this is completely untapped by human societies there are ways to do this and
as I went into this process what I saw was what is it that determines what is
me and what is not me I'm capable of taking a piece of bread
and making it into myself if I look at this body it is just a piece of this
planet that I have borrowed but why is this separate and this is separate then
I found that it is just the boundaries of sensation which determines what is me
and what is not me here there is sensation so this is me
there seems I don't feel the sensation so that's not me as I looked at this
boundaries of sensation very very closely from within myself
this was his face of my life where most of the time I remain with my eyes closed
I realized that the boundaries of sensation can either be stretched
expanded or even made smaller than what it is right now you can sit here and not
feel anything that's happening here right now this happens in sleep to some
extent or you can sit here and extend your boundaries of your sensation for
this whole hall and anything that is within the boundaries of your sensation
you will always experience as myself there is a glass of water here and this
is not me that's very clear but if you drink it you just included it into the
boundaries of your sensation and that becomes you so if you throw the boundary
of your sensation out in an expanded form you can sit here and experience
everybody in this Hall as yourself you can stretch it further experience the
very cosmic scape I'd like to experience your own body this sense of
inclusiveness if it comes into you when this came into me I suddenly realized
that to be loving is not somebody's teaching to be compassionate is not an
idea to be an empathy is not some esoteric principle this is the way a
human being is made if only he does not constipate his consciousness with
limited identifications with things that he is not if you do not identify with
anything that you have accumulated over a period
of time including your body and mind every human being is capable of this
when it comes to external situations each one of us are differently capable
but when it comes to inner situations every one of us is equally capable no
human being is better and no than the other when it comes to the inner realm
it's only in the external situations that we are all differently capable if
this inclusiveness enters human life if you can sit here and experience people
around you as yourself I don't think I have to teach you to be good I don't
think I have to teach you to laugh I don't think I have to teach you to care
because caring for this one is very very natural
this is ingrained within the very nature of the existence this inclusiveness
definitely has to touch humanity so this became my life my work and my endeavor
to develop methods so that people can experience this inclusiveness
if this inclusiveness is experienced by humanity particularly by the leadership
people who wailed power and probe different aspects of responsibility in
the world definitely we could find solutions for everything because today
we as a generation of people this is very significant for the first time we
are capable of addressing every human problem on this planet of nourishment
health education ecology you name it we can address it all we have the necessary
resource capability and technology for the very first time but are we going to
do it simply depends upon how inclusive is our experience of life if you stand
here and we experience this planet as yourself I don't think I have to tell
you take care of it every human being would do his best when we do not have
this inclusiveness what we could do we will not do in our lives if we do not do
what we cannot do that is not a problem but if you do not do what we can do we
are a disaster my hope and my work is just to see that we as a generation of
people do not become that a disaster that what we can do we will
definitely do and right now what we can do compared to what we could do 100
years ago is so incredibly different so incredibly different but what's missing
is an all-inclusive consciousness are called to all-inclusive experience of
life if only we bring this about in the leadership in the people only then we
will seek solutions that are relevant for all otherwise we'll go about
dabbling creating in the name of creating solutions we go about creating
more and more problems if we truly have to create solutions that are relevant
for all an experience of absolute inclusiveness has to happen to humanity
and it's possible thank you very much
