1:05It is not trying to produce apples. Definitely, I don't see any coconuts up there. This is all. As a human being, you must see how this life can blossom into its fullest. If it blossoms to its fullest, somebody may become rich, or somebody may become intelligent, somebody may become knowledgeable, somebody may become loving, somebody may become an artist, somebody may just wander. But a fully blossomed human being is a joy to see, no matter what the hell they're doing or what they're not doing. Whichever way, they're an asset to whole humanity. So what is your idea of abundance? $200 billion of personal wealth?
1:44Right now, let's say you are the guy who has$200 billion. Yes. It's only in your memory. If I erase your memory, your money is gone. Well, it's in your bank account. It is in the account, but if you've forgotten what? Yeah, if you've forgotten the code or you've forgotten the access, then it's gone. A whole lot of people buried their treasure all over the bloody world. and somebody else found it a thousand years later. It's true. All these issues are there, but the important thing is, why do you want affluence? Let me put the word abundance as affluence. An individual person wants affluence. A society wants affluence.
2:17A nation wants affluence. Everybody is striving for that. Why? Because initially it means a choice of nourishment. If you have money, you can eat what you want. Initially, that's the goal. Yes. If it goes beyond that, after you eat everything you want to eat, next thing is a choice of lifestyle. Yes. Now, for example, United States of America has the highest choice of nourishment choices, highest level of nourishment choices, highest level of lifestyle choices. All right. But you're spending 3.25 trillion on health care. Right. That is larger than India's economy. So what is the abundance you're seeking?
2:56do not think in terms of abundance. Think in terms of a fulfillment of life. If you are a fulfilled life according to your competence, according to your capability, according to the times in which you live, you will do the appropriate thing. Right now in the pursuit of abundance, people are doing vulgar things. Two people are living in a 50-bedroom house. What's the point of this? Right. You can have everything that you can use well. But the important thing is, Are you making arrangements of home, automobile, this, that, everything as a means to act in the world or as a means to enhance yourself?
3:35Everything that you can be within yourself, are you or are you not? That's all. In our lives, if we do not do what we cannot do, there's no issue. If we do not do what we can do, we are a disaster. Are you as joyful as you were when you were five years of age? at 35, 40, if you are not as joyful and as exuberant as a five-year-old boy or girl that you were, obviously you are a disaster because you are not even square one. That was square one of your life and nothing was in your control. You are not even in square one, you were sunk deeper. That's a disastrous life. Life has become about something else.
4:13Something else around you enhances you. No. The only way to enhance yourself is to bring this to its full blossoming of what it can be. At its fullest best, what it can be. What I am at my fullest. Am I better than you? No, I'm just different. This tree, is it better than that tree? No. This is one way, that's another way. And that's why the world is so beautiful. If there was one more guy just like you in your house, could you live there? No. No. So how does someone know what their full potential is of who they can truly be? See, if you don't fix yourself with limited identities, if you do not compare yourself with anything, if you explore and see, if you want this tree to grow to its fullest thing, that's why I said not the fruit, root.
5:00If you count the fruits, maybe that tree is bearing more fruit than this one. That's not the point. You nurture the root. The fullest possible nurture if you give to the root. What it has to become, it'll become. a blade of grass cannot become a tree. But is it not wonderful? Yeah. Is it not wonderful? You may step on it. Yes. But is it not wonderful? Yeah. You mostly have the garden for grass, not for trees, actually. If you want to be nurtured, the first and foremost thing is just look back and see, has there been 124 hours in your life or many people that you know in your life, 124 hours that they passed without anxiety, without fear, without being agitated, nothing.
5:42Simply at ease, 24 hours. 24 hours if you come to ease, believe me, your ability to use your mind and body may go up 100 % in 24 hours. Just ease. People ask me, Sadhguru, how are you like this? I say, I'm talking to a crowd of 100 ,000. The way I would talk to somebody, they came and asked me something, I'm in the bathroom. with the same ease and with the same not being concerned about what somebody thinks about me, what happens. That's not the point. What I see as truth, I speak. You like it, you don't like it. You realize it, you don't realize it. That's left to you.
