[Questioner] We've grown up believing in destiny that okay this was predestined
so and this is the first time I've heard from you that,
you know it's basically in our own hands.
So I would like to know how really it is in my own hands to get something done.
Thank you.
[Sadhguru] See if it is predestined there is no such thing as right path and wrong path
because you cannot even choose the path, isn't it?
So you saying it is all destined and still making an effort to walk the right path - doesn't
make sense.
Isn't it so?
So definitely it's not predestined; otherwise …that's why you are still trying to see
what is the right thing to do.
Isn't it so?
If everything is predestined where is the need for you to think why, which is right,
which is wrong?
Anyway this is the way you're going to go.
Is that the reality?
No, that's not the reality, isn't it?
If two paths come you can chose this one or this one?
Do you have the choice or no?
See you are trying to absolve yourself of all the mistakes that you make in your life.
[mumbled speech] [Sadhguru] Now, when you say 'whenever I
make a wrong choice it's all predestined' -
you are only trying to absolve yourself on the mistakes that you make, isn't it?
You don't want to see that I've made a mistake.
You want see 'Oh it happened because it's God's will.'
Now too much bull like this has been going on for too long, too long
and this is the reason why something that's a natural progression of life has become so
difficult for human beings.
Enlightenment is not something that you have to force upon yourself;
it is a natural progression of development but you're not allowing that natural progression
to happen because you are creating these kinds of contradictions.
We will take, what you said as example there are many many examples different ways.
Now you say on one level everything is predestined; on another level you are a choosing a way
out of your present whatever, isn't it? [mumbled speech]
[Sadhguru] You are causing the confusion because first thing you started I believe everything
is predestined.
That means you are starting...
[Questioner] I have been brought up to believe.
[Sadhguru] Okay whichever way.
[All laugh] Okay we pass the buck to the parents.
[All Laugh] 'I have been brought up to believe, so now
I believe' is it okay?
[Laughs] And even that believing is not mine; I have
been brought up to believe.
[Laughs] You're believing means you are assuming
something that you do not know, isn't it?
Yes?
Why do you believe something?
Like for example, how many of you believe in God, please raise your hand.
The sleeping ones also please.
[Laughter] Okay.
How many of you believe no God?
Please raise your hands.
1 2 3 4 what is this half hand?
[Laughter] You?
Okay 6.
Okay.
Some people believe there is God; some people believe there is no God.
How many of you believe that you have two hands?
All such people just raise one hand.
[Participants Laugh] Yes maa?
Yes?
Okay.
Do you believe that you have two hands or do you know that you have two hands?
[Participants] We know.
[Sadhguru] You know.
Even if you have no eyes to see these hands, still do you know that you have hands?
[Participants] Yes.
[Sadhguru] Yes.
It's a living experience, isn't it?
Even if you cannot see them you still know you have hands.
With hands you know, with God you believe why?
[mumbled speech] [Sadhguru] Hum?
[Participant] No experience with God.
[Sadhguru] So you are full of bullshit that's what it means.
Somewhere you are not sincere enough to admit 'I do not know' that's your problem.
Everything that you do not know you want to say, 'I believe' with great confidence.
And if you go on like this your life will become a bigger and bigger mess
because you are assuming things and trying to live.
And your assumptions are not so strong enough because your mind is not simple enough.
You may assume one thing but the other part of the mind is continuously asking questions.
If you had a very simple childlike mind your assumption is all that you had you would become
a devotee.
It will work.
That will work… but now you have a little more complex intellect.
It doesn't accept any assumption totally.
It accepts only to the extent it's comfortable, convenient beyond that it doesn't.
Right now your belief in God is just like this.
You do everything that is important to you God is like an insurance on the side.
'I have also paid my premium' [Laughter] in case something goes wrong.
Isn't it so?
All the vital aspects of your life you are holding it in your hands.
(Are you or..…)
Are you holding it or no?
Your money, your children, everything that matters to you, you are holding it in your
hands.
God is like insurance, just in case something goes wrong,
I also paid my premium.
Every week I came and saw you God what are you doing?'
[All Laugh] This doesn't work.
Because of this deception life has become such a mess.
It's not because of God or no God you become a mess.
You become a mess because of all this deception.
This is the nature of your mind.
We are not talking about God, I want you to understand.
We cannot talk about God; we are only talking about the deceptions of your mind.
On a certain day a bull just sort of strayed into the forest.
Nice greenery so he just strayed into the forest grazing, grazing, grazing, he went
deep into the forest.
An old lion who was little past his prime, who was having trouble hunting for his food
just saw this big fat bull.
His mouth salivated.
A bull is a easier thing to hunt compared to the animals of the forest.
So he just waited, stopped the bull and attacked him, killed him and ate him up.
His stomach became real full.
With this full stomach with great satisfaction he roared.
A few hunters were passing that way.
They heard the lion roar; so they tracked him down and shot him dead.
The moral of the story is when you are so full of bull you should not open your mouth.
[All Laugh] Too many assumptions.
Too many assumptions; with these assumptions people are going on with great confidence.
Disaster is all that can happen.
What else can happen?
If you are not in touch with reality and if you (grow at) …go at great speed will you
head for disaster or no?
Hum?
You will definitely head for disaster either as an individual or as a whole society;
you definitely head for a disaster if you are running on too many assumptions.
Isnt it so?
Can we keep our assumptions aside, just look at reality the way it is.
It doesn't matter what your mother said, what your grandmother said,
what your father said or your forefathers said; they said whatever they knew or whatever
nonsense they believed or whatever nonsense they wanted you to believe
that is also there, [Laughs] isn't it?
They might have put many things they themselves don't believe because they wanted you to
believe something.
Haven't they done it?
Aren't you doing it?
So it's okay.
They said whatever they knew but you have your intelligence to look at life, isn't it?
Yes?
You have a father or you have a mother; does it mean to say you should not employ your
intelligence?
Is that the law?
Is that the law?
Then why do you say I was brought up to believe?
They can say anything they want; you still have your intelligence, isn't it?
Nobody can bring you up to believe anything.
They can only feed you and make your body grow.
Everything else they can speak whatever nonsense they speak;
you still have your intelligence which is discerning enough, isn't it?
But you kept it in your pocket; you don't want it to come out because if it comes out
then you have to struggle through knowing things and figuring out things and all this.
'No my father said this, this is the reality.
My grandfather also said the same thing so that is the reality.'
With this kind of attitude you know where we have taken the world?
Huge disaster, isn't it?
Isn't it so?
So now if you really want to know where I stand - first thing is strip off all the assumptions
from your life; just come to bare essentials.
'What is it that I know; what is it that I do not know;' let's start from there.
Then we can go somewhere.
Now you don't know which way, it doesn't matter but do you understand this;
if you want to start a journey you can only start your journey from that point where it
is experientially true for you.
Yes?
Yes?
Is that the right place to start your journey?
Is that common understanding?
First let's come there then which way to go, we will see later.
First get there; first drop all your bull; come to the place where you are right now;
what is the next step then we'll chart it out.
We don't have to chart out the whole path right now.
We will just chart out what is the next step.
According to your understanding you take the next step.
When it works we will chart out just one more step.
If it works, the next step.
Okay is that fair enough?
Yes?
Questioner: Sadhguru Namaste.
Sadhguru what is cosmic will and what is free will?
Is free will same as cosmic will or is there anything like cosmic which is
predestined?
Sadhguru: What you call as cosmic will is not will as you know it,
as human will, as your mind's will.
It has a certain pattern, it has a certain quality.
That which rules the cosmos has a certain… a consciousness and a tendency of its own.
That is always there, that you and me right now exist is cosmic
will, but right now,
you decided to come to sathsang is of course your will, isn't it?
Isn't it so?
So cosmic will is not like a decision.
It is just there.
It is because of cosmic will, we have taken on this form.
It is because of cosmic will, the planet is going around the sun.
These are not as human thoughts are; this is just the quality of the nature.
Right now, water flows from a high place to a low place.
Try to stop it whichever way you want.
It seems to have a will of its own, but that is not a will;
it is flowing according to the laws of gravity.
So cosmic will is like the gravitational force and various other things.
It just is there always.
It only acts that way because the very framework of life is based
on the cosmic will, but today you decide to do this or that,
that is definitely your will.
Cosmic will has no role in this, but you can use the cosmic force to make it
make your will into a reality.
Right now gravitational force is working, using that I am sitting here,
otherwise I would be floating all over the place.
Yes?
I would need an anchor to stay here.
Because gravity is working I am enjoying sitting here,
otherwise using the same gravity I can dance.
It's my will.
Sitting is my will, dancing is my will.
If I want, I can jump down, that is also my will,
but all these things cannot happen without the gravity.
That's the nearest analogy we can get there probably.
So cosmic will is always in play, we are enjoying it every moment of our life
or we are suffering it sometimes.
The gravity can make you dance, the gravity can make you fall if you're
not in tune with it.
So that is where your will plays.
Your will determines and your will is able to use the cosmic will.
Without that your will wouldn't even exist.
It is cosmic will that you must have a will, but do not try to fulfill your life through
your will because your will is generally empowered by
a thought and your thought is essentially an accumulated
stuff.
Your thought is what you have gathered from around you.
It's the data that you have gathered that you're reprocessing,
recycling in so many different ways.
Doing things with willpower is okay if you are aiming for small little things.
Today morning you want to get up at 5.00 o'clock, you're doing it with willpower or alarm
power?
(Laughter) If the alarm rings also,
you still need willpower to come out of your bed.
If you do this, you may get to do things, but at the end of the day you will have a
long face.
Instead of trying to do this with willpower, you do it with devotion,
you do it with love.
Now I want to get up at 5.00 o'clock because I have something that I really want
to do.
Not that I have to do this, there's nothing in my life that I have to
do.
Everything in my life are things that I want to do.
So if alarm is at 5.00 o'clock, I get up at 4.30,
because I want to do it.
If you conduct your life as I have to do it, because that's willpower.
'Oh, no matter what I must do it, I must do it, I must do it!'
You may get to do it, but your face will become long, miserable
face.
Everything happened, but at the end of the day you have a long
face; purpose is defeated, isn't it?
The purpose of doing all that is already been defeated.
Isn't it so?
Because you did not enjoy it, it does not fulfill you, what is the point?
So there is no need to do things to conduct your life with willpower.
Here and there small things, sometimes when your body is aching,
on that day you need willpower to push yourself a little bit,
but do not try to conduct the life process itself with willpower
because you will become a long successful face.
Ulcer in your stomach, success in your bag,
face so long nobody wants to see it or your chin will be scraping on the Hyderabad
roads.
(Laughter) Not good,
because I have a cushion; what will you do?
(Laughter)
