Just 90 minutes from Nashville and only 45 minutes from Chattanooga, this destination for classical yoga and meditation might feel a world away. But it's close enough for a quick day trip. A large segment of population has reached this place without chemical help, they cannot even sit in one place quietly. If to be peaceful you need a chemical, to be joyful you need a chemical, to be healthful you need a chemical, this will not bring joy, this will not bring well-being. Comfort and convenience can be achieved by fixing the outside. Joy and well-being cannot happen from outside, it has to happen from inside. This day which is a Mahasivaratri, particularly in the northern hemisphere, there is a phenomenal upsurge of energy. The yogic tradition set this out that nobody should lie down on this night. Your spine should be vertical so that you can make use of the natural upsurge of energy so that an upward moment happens. On this day, being here at eleven degrees latitude in the Grace of Dhyanalinga and the Velaryangiri mountain above all, it's my wish and my blessing that all of you should become available to the Grace of Mahadeva. Since the first Mahasivaratri at the Isha Yoga Center in 1995, the celebrations have grown in intensity, vibrance and colourfulness every year. In March 2019, Isha will celebrate its 25th Mahasivaratri. The exuberant night-long festival will include musical performances, cultural programs, powerful meditations and intense spiritual processes. We invite you to come celebrate this night, a night like no other with Sadguru in the presence of Adi Yoga.

The miracle of this mind has been transformed by most human beings into a misery-manufacturing machine. If you understand, all human experience is coming from within. Your miseries and your joys are coming from within. Your agony and your ecstasy comes from within. That the making of who you are comes from within you. If you understand this, how can you not engineer yourself to perfection? On this day, which is a Mahasivarathri, particularly in the northern hemisphere, there is a phenomenal upsurge of energy.

Just sit still, unmoving, eyes closed, focus between your eyebrows, upturned face, absolutely still. In the beat of a heart, in the gentle passage of a breath, in the pulsation of blood, does life happen and so does death? In the beat of a heart, in the gentle passage of a breath, in the pulsation of blood, does life happen and so does death? A fleeting moment embodies the dynamism of creation and the stillness of its source.  Time is a funny thing, sometimes a cruel joke. For one who does not know what to do, there is a lot of time. For one who knows what to do, there is no time. For one who finds life, there is no time. For one who knows what to do, there is no time. For one who finds life miserable and burdensome, there is a lot of time. For one who is blissed out, there is no time. It's a cruel joke. I was just scribbling a few poems, I thought I'll read it for you. Of life? Of life. Does time hang around you like a millstone upon your neck? Or does it roll effortlessly? Or is it flywheel that drives all that you are? These are all statements, not of time, but of life. Does time hang around you like a millstone upon your neck? Or does it roll effortlessly? Or is it a flywheel that drives all that you are? These are all statements, not of time, but of life. The stars are the same, twinkling in the dark sky. The cold breeze threatening to get colder as it is at this time around. The crickets chirp just the same. But all claim it's a new year, though. All hoping for something to go bang. But time rolls on, quiet and relentless, crushing life under its weightless wheel, an effective mill with ruthless will. Stars are the same, twinkling in the dark sky. The cold breeze threatening to get colder as it is at this time around. The crickets chirp just the same. But all claim it is a new year, though. All hoping for something to go bang. But time rolls on, quiet and relentless, crushing life under its weightless wheel, an effective mill with ruthless will. No trace. There is no container service for those who depart, but still most have turned their homes into warehouses. There is no container service for those who depart, but still most have turned their homes into warehouses. How fortunate that nothing can be taken even by the most ambitious. If they could, by now they would have weighed the heavens down well below all that we know. If they could, by now they would have weighed the heavens down well below all that we know. As the years roll on without leaving a trace of themselves. As the years roll on without leaving a trace of themselves. as the years roll on without leaving a trace of themselves. Only humans desperately cling to their memories, and count and recount them as years, just to remind themselves that they too lived. Only humans desperately cling to their memories and count and recount them as years, just to remind themselves that they too lived. Change of the color of things, time is momentary. The cumulative idea of time in terms of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years, this is something that we make up in our mind. In the sense, if you had no memory, there would be no cumulative sense of time because you have memory and it reflects itself as imagination. There is something called past and future. Otherwise, time is a platform upon which both the creation and its source exists. Time is not a cumulative process. It is not a minute, it is not a year, it is not a decade, it's not a century, it is not a millennium. It is just a moment. The moment is all-inclusive and eternal. This cumulative sense of time has come to us simply because our sense of physical is so strong, mainly because of a very keen sense of vision that humans have developed.  It's all like one.  It is the keenness of vision which clearly demarcates this is this person, this is this person, that is that person. It is for this reason, when we say spiritual, the first thing is to close your eyes because if you take away your visual apparatus, you will see your sense of being physical will become less and less. There is a certain dimension of yogic practice where people go into a dark room, pitch dark, where whether you open your eyes or close your eyes, there's no difference. It's just the same. Total pitch dark, you can't see even your limbs or anything to that matter. It's amazing that just because you can't see your body within a few days, your sense of physicality will come down dramatically. You will become very conscious of other dimensions of life and physical becomes very little because of all the five senses that you have, your visual apparatus is the most developed and of all the creatures on this planet, your eyes have added lenses to it but the human visual capability is most, is what to say, most elaborate. We can see more things than most creatures can see with more detail. One aspect of human intelligence evolving is our eyes because we can see so clearly. To back that up, we needed a whole lot of intelligence because we see everything like this now we have to decipher. For deciphering this, you need a backup brain otherwise it cannot do it. So in the evolution of human intelligence, human eyes have played a significant role. So it's in this context that when we say further evolution, we say a third eye that you need one more eye because the evolution of human being is very, very related to our visual apparatus. So when we say time, because there is this and that, now there is here and there. Once there is here and there or here and there is possible, only because there is time, I want you to look at this properly, point A to point B. If you want to traverse this distance, let's say it takes a minute to get here. Only because the minute exists, point A and point B exist. Do you understand what I'm saying? Most people think because there is point A and point B it takes time. No. Because there is a minute there is point A and point B. If there was no time in between, there would be no point A and point B, there will be just A, B as one point. So because there is time, there is space. Because there is time, there is here and there and of course now and then. It's from this context, Adiyogi said, when they asked him the question, what is the nature of this cosmos? Where does it begin? Where does it end? He laughed and he said, I can pack your entire cosmos into a mustard seat because point A and point B is possible only because there is a time to traverse. If there was no time, the whole cosmos would be just a dot. Now point A and point B exist simply because you have become a A and somebody is a B because this has become an individual entity. This is A and that is B. Because this is A, that is B, there is a distance and now the distance is possible only because there is time to traverse. If there was no time, if there was no time between this and that, these two would be same, isn't it? If there was no time between A and B, this A and B wouldn't be A and B, this would be just A, A. They are same. So what is right now a straight line or any kind of line for that matter, between point A and point B, this would have just been a dot. So the whole cosmos becomes a dot once there is no you and me, this and that. There is only this and this. That means physicality has become irrelevant in your experience. What consciousness means, what yoga means is yoga means to consciously obliterate the boundaries of your individuality. Because this is an individual, this is A and that is B. And of course all the other alphabets, once you create A and B, C, Z, everything inevitable, isn't it? Hmm? Once we create A and B, then every other alphabet and every other number is inevitable. It's bound to happen, it's a natural consequence. But that's not important. It is A and B which is important. There is two. Because there is two, it gets refracted into multiples. There is two only because we have become physical entities. It doesn't matter how much you tell people, it doesn't matter how many countless number of people we bury in the last 10,000 or 100,000 years. Still we don't get it that physicality is something that you just picked up from this planet and put it back into the planet. Ah yes, Sadhguru, but my body is my body. This is me. The word yoga means just this, you consciously managed to obliterate the boundaries of your individuality that if you sit here, there is no this and that. There's only this and this. When there is only this and this, there is no cumulative process of time or kala as we refer it. This is very beautiful that we have the same word to describe time and space. Kala means time. Kala also means dark space. So kala is both time and space. We don't really distinguish between the two because trying to say which came before which is like chicken and egg business. Is it because of time, space exists or is it because of space, time exists.   You're thinking which came first. That's not how creation happened. That's not the nature of the existence. So if there is no you and me, there is no this and that. If there is no this and that, obviously there is no now and then. So transcendence of time means you got disidentified with your physical boundary. You became little yoga. Union happened because of the union.  If you had no body, if I made you sit here for ten thousand years, what is the problem? Because you have a body, already it is speaking. Legs are telling their own story. Back is singing its own song. Bladder is keeping time. You've seen the hourglass, you know, sand. Bladder is just like that. Look, look, it's falling. Slowly as it becomes full, your interest in yoga will recede. Yes, when bladder is really full, I will start talking about enlightenment. Only one interest. This is the power of the body. That's a simple thing.   Hey, why are you stopping him? Let him laugh. Sounds of joy are okay. Why are you stopping him? See, this happened. Shankaran Pillai married in Tennessee. Shankaran Pillai was a debauched man, everybody knew. But the moment he got married from next Sunday onwards, every day morning he was at the church, every Sunday morning. The pastor was very happy.  Said, well, pastor, either it's your sermon or hers. I'll leave you alone on a Sunday mornings. Otherwise you may go sit in the church. And Shankaran Pillai said, after my marriage, I realize man needs God's help. So, half the world is already screamed happy new year. The other half is waiting, waiting to celebrate. My simple advice is never wait to celebrate. Celebration is one thing that should not wait for any damn thing. But so, Sadhguru, still some more hours, Sadhguru, before I can laugh. So, isn't it such a silent clock? At least the planet went up, it'll been easy. Just went away, went away, went away, went away. Hey, how old are you? I'm not, I know you girls I want to ask. I'm, I'm that civilized. 40 planet didn't make a sound damn thing. Hello?  At least every day if it went tongue at least once, we would have known. Oh, so quietly, weightless, but it crushes life. Huh? Yes? Now I can ask you little girl, what should, how old are you? 15. Somebody, one lady who's... Oh, no. Okay. Now you pretend to be a lady, you're 50, right? It's okay, man. And when you're a woman, what's the problem? Can't the numbers change? When the gender can change, can't the numbers change?  When it happened, you don't know, isn't it? Hello? Only if life has been terribly miserable, you kept count of it. If it's been nice, you don't know how it went away 50 years.  Giggly and nice, flowly. You don't know when it happened. You just remember a few significant moments that you think are significant, either because they changed the direction of your life or they made you suffer immensely. Those things you remember, isn't it? Those things that made your life turn this way or that way, you remember? Those things that caused enormous pain, you remember? Those things which were very exuberant also, you remember. Something acute must happen. Otherwise, 50 years, if you look back, take a lot of effort to remember 100 moments of significance in 50 years' time. Yes or no? Because it's a weightless wheel, but relentless and ruthless doesn't give you one day's break. Today I'm beat. Today I'm beat. Just stop for today. No such thing. Just rolls on without a whisper. Just rolls on. Well, this is not for you to become melancholic. Yes, all's wrong. See, you don't have to do anything. Life just gets over by itself, isn't it fantastic? If you had to push it every day, I'm sure you would complain about it. Hello? Suppose you had to spin this planet every day and get the time going. I'm sure you would want somebody else to do it, not you, isn't it? It just rolls by itself.  Tch, how compassionate life is. It is not a must that you must do this or that. You don't do a thing. Still it goes by, isn't it fantastic? No? Nobody here to judge you and say, you have not done well, so you will not pass. Stay here. No such thing. Everybody shall pass.  Hello? It's up to you. According to your judgment of what is fantastic, you do that. There is nobody here. This whole business of somebody sitting up there and watching you, this is a dangerous game. I hear that Americans are always complaining about privacy laws and how the big brother is watching their email of all the things, as if they're writing some fantastic literature.  Wherever they've sold this idea that somebody's sitting up there and watching every move that you make, so I don't see where is privacy for you. See, we are Indian. We don't have the God. Nobody watching us. Nobody watching us, we have privacy.  What is the problem if the government also watches you along with them? No, no, no. All the liberals will get at me. I'm not saying the government should watch you. I'm not saying the government should intrude into your email or Instagram or WhatsApp or whatever the nonsense. Because as far as I see, all the young people, except bathroom, just about every aspect of their life is on their Facebook anyway. What is there for the secret service to do, isn't it? Everybody is anyway putting up their whole life on their Facebook page. So where is the need to watch you? Waste. Waste technology on you to observe what you're doing. Anyway, it's all out there. God is watching you. So, but there is one advantage, one bigger advantage. That is, you know, people, at least this part of the world, some people believe, maybe not everybody, they believe, you know, this, this happened. One smart guy, very smart guy died. They also died. So he went to heaven, of course, because you know, tickets to heaven are sold. He went to heaven and so he got an appointment with God, just ten second appointment. So when even there he asked God, father, is it true that what is a million years for us is just one moment for you? God said, yes, my son. Then what is a million dollars for us? Is it just a penny for you? God said, yes. Then he said, father, just give me a penny. Then God looked at him and said, just wait a minute. So how much of a body are you? How much of intelligence are you? How much of consciousness are you? Accordingly your experience of time, if you are too much of a body, time rolls very slowly, very difficult. You have to push it and go. If you have a little bit of intellectual crackle going on, just in one thought a day goes away. Hello? A single thought may occupy a day. But if you're conscious, it's like that.  Is it a good thing? Yes, it's up to you whether to carry this as a millstone upon your neck or just let it roll easy or it's a flywheel that drives everything. Actually it's a flywheel that drives everything. It is in this moment of time that both creation and its source exists, isn't it? Hello? It is a platform upon which the entire creation has happened. You experience it as a cumulative process of minutes, hours and days and weeks and months, only because you are deeply, deeply identified with life, with the physical body. Because of individual entity, there is cumulative nature of time. Otherwise this moment, people say it's a fleeting moment. When did this moment go away in your life? Please tell me, how can you say it is fleeting? It is an eternal moment, isn't it? It's for an ever moment. Did ever this moment go away from you? Did such a thing happen? Only certain people are teaching you, be in the moment, otherwise it will go away. It will not go away anyway. You are always in the moment only. Ah, mind wanders, but it should. Otherwise what's the use? What is the use of what you call as my mind if it cannot feed upon the past and create a future? That's its business, isn't it? People are complaining about this. They want their brains frozen because they're not able to handle the activity of their mind. This... this brain which took millions of years to evolve, unfortunately, they didn't figure how to handle it. Now they're seeing how to freeze it so that it doesn't bother them. Some of them are preserving it in alcohol, particularly today. They misunderstand them. They're only trying to preserve because they want to donate their organs and use their brains elsewhere. They're preserving it in alcohol so that it stays for a long time. Have you not seen in the high school laboratory? They were preserving things in alcohol? Yes or no? I see you can also laugh. What's your problem? So, but in our life, inevitably we want to count one more year is over. So at the most time can be seen as a milestone, but it's not a pathway to travel upon. You cannot use time as a pathway. It is at the most a milestone to tell you that to give you some sense of no, no, it won't tell you where you are that needs GPS. It just tells you how much is gone by. So, it gives you some sense of what to do and what not to do because as long as we exist here as physical entity, time is getting over for this one. The Tamil word for death is very beautiful. We say kalamaitana. That means his time got over. When somebody dies, we don't say he died. We say his time got over. Perfect, isn't it? Time got over. So because time gets over for the body, it's good to keep milestones. So 2018, one milestone, before we hit the next milestone, at least we must speed up a bit, huh?  Hello? Not just fifteen-year-olds, especially if you're sixty, seventy, need to scale up because kalamaitana is getting over. Hello? Time is getting over, isn't it?  Yes? People think if they scale up and speed up, they'll do wild things. Initially there is some juvenile's instincts which will make you do that. But if you're everyday conscious that time is getting over, you will see within a few weeks you will become very profound.  There is no container service. Hello? It's a very wrong thing to put people in a coffin. People think they're going somewhere. It makes them feel like they're on DHL or something. In India, what we do is one thing is those who cremate, they cremate, so no escaping there.  But when we bury, we make sure that we put at least 150 to 200 kilograms of salt. If you put salt and bury somebody within a month, even the bones will be largely gone. Within three months, every bone will be gone. Salt will eat it up. The idea is not to preserve the body. The idea is quickly you should become part of the earth and it's also very eco-friendly. Otherwise you're like plastic. If you're in a metal coffin, you're like plastic after hundred years your blood is still there, not biodegradable. It's a very biodegradable body has been given to you, isn't it? It seems every average United States citizen has about twenty-eight grams of plastic in their body, except for twenty-eight grams. The remaining fifty, sixty, seventy kilograms, you're biodegradable, I'm saying. It's not that only US population has, it is the only population that's been checked for. Others also may have but not been checked. In America, it's been checked and they say on an average most US citizens have about twenty-eight grams of plastic in them. Those of you wearing synthetic clothes, you must understand it's seeping into you slowly. Yes? You're wearing polyfiber, it's slowly seeping into your system. So, well anyway I should announce something about 2019. In 2019 we have a fashion show going for the first time. On twelfth, thirteenth of February in New York City, whatever the venue and other things they will tell you, we have a fashion show where we are bringing, we've already brought I think, about hundred and twenty distinct varieties of weaves from India. It's the only nation on the planet which has over hundred and thirty-six weaves, different types of weaving. So, we're bringing these weaves and presenting it to some of the top designers in this country. Some of the top designers from India also coming. For those of you Indian origin people will definitely know this name, Sabyasachi is coming and participating and here also some big names are there. I don't get the names because I'm a brand by myself, you know. I don't wear any brand so I don't know those brands but some big names are coming and we're in a fashion show. What is Sadhguru doing in a fashion show? Because these weaves a few thousand years to evolve in that culture but today we're becoming so unconcerned about our well-being. We think our well-being will be taken care of by the pharmaceutical industry in the world because we are so unconcerned.  Yes, what do you have a carbon brain or a silicon brain? Well, silicon has gotten into all parts of the body, that's another matter.  Some people are wondering why this human being should be here. This month, two weeks ago, I was at Economic Times Summit in India and I was supposed to have a conversation with one Miss Sofia. She's a robotic woman. I was supposed to have conversation with her and her creator who had come with her but at that time when I was supposed to have conversation they couldn't reboot her.  So she she just looks like a man's dream. Whatever perverted imaginations people have, it's all been manifested. So and you can switch her off, man.  And the best thing is you can switch her off. This danger is coming that a time will come on the street, you don't know who is real and who is a machine. But even now, most human beings are existing like machines, so it shouldn't make much of a difference for them. Sunday morning you can hand him over to somebody. Rest of the week you have to... This reminds me, a man was sleeping at 2 a.m. the phone rang. He picked up the phone and said, Hello, who is it? He said, I'm John speaking. So what do you want? What?   You see, that's because the night... night rates are cheaper. It's like Christmas shopping. Whether you need it or don't need it, just buy something because it's on discount. Hey, don't think you're the only one getting the joke, all right? For all of you, those of you who are on the... on the webcast, I don't know if they're cutting you off at one hour, is that so? No. Is that so? They're on? Okay, then it's fine. So if you have a question, please, just somebody take the microphone. Namaskaram, Sadhguru. I am not pursuing enlightenment with 100% sincerity because at some level, I am not convinced that this is going to happen in this lifetime, given my limitations. How do I overcome this mental setup that I have? Have you seen people coming close to this possibility and what are my chances? Don't pursue enlightenment. You cannot pursue enlightenment. How can you pursue something that you do not know? Hello? If you pursue something, you will pursue only what you know. What is the point pursuing something that you already know? Hello? Isn't it? What is the point in running after something that you already know? So if you have to step into something that you do not know, the only thing is just to keep walking. Keep a steady direction and keep walking. Maybe it's a wrong direction. It doesn't matter. Just keep walking. After all, planet is round. Inevitably, if you keep walking and keep straight walking, not round and round, if you just keep straight walking, you will inevitably get somewhere. Nobody can take it away from you. Right now, the problem is if you have a dog at home, you would know this.  You've seen that? You've not seen dog chasing its own tail? Well, you did not see. What? Okay, a lot of people are doing that. Their own tail, they're chasing. Even enlightenment is their own tail. Tail. Nobody told you there is such a thing. Definitely you can see from one person to another person, one person seems to be little better off simply the way they are, not because of their money, not because of their wealth, not because of their qualifications. Simply the way they sit and stand, somebody seems to be better off than somebody else. Yes or no? So there is room and scope for improvement, relentlessly improve. Let's see where it gets you. But if you have fancy ideas of what is enlightenment, then you will chase that silly idea and that idea is never enlightenment because it's your idea. You cannot have an idea about something that you have no access to, isn't it? All your ideas concern things that you already know, maybe permutations and combinations of the same damn thing. It's like, it's like God.  We are little more liberal, so we made animals, birds, snakes, everything, elephants, cows, everything gods, because we understand after all they can have their own gods. But if you're very dogmatic and rigid, you think no, God is a human being, not to a man. And that too he has blonde hair. That's a very rigid dogmatic idea. People who lived in other parts of the world never could imagine a blonde-haired God. They just cannot. I'm sure African gods have crinky hair, Indian gods have jet black hair, something. So it's our idea. Our ideas, no matter what we do, only comes from what we already know, cannot be anything else. So do not think of enlightenment.  If you become an absolutely, absolutely, that means unconditionally wonderful human being. You don't worry whether you're enlightened or not, other people will... If they want, they will say, oh, he is enlightened compared to me. Everybody is calling somebody enlightened compared to themselves, isn't it? Hello? Huh? Only compared to themselves. Look at me how I am. Look at him how he is. He must be enlightened. But there is no one benchmark out there. This is enlightenment. Everybody is wonderful when things around them are properly arranged for them. The way they want, the way you want. When everybody behaves the way you want, you are also wonderful. When people don't behave the way you want, when life doesn't work the way you want, then to be wonderful it takes something else.  If you must set a benchmark. But something wonderful happened. Something so wonderful that nothing could affect that wonderfulness. Other people say it's enlightenment. You never say, I'm pursuing enlightenment. Enlightenment means one day you're going to declare yourself I'm enlightened.  Others say, oh, he is enlightened. Good. You declare I'm enlightened. This will be a case, isn't it? You may be wonderful, but you are not loyal to your wonderfulness. You are joyful. You are sometimes blissful. You're even loving, but not loyal to these qualities. See, a flower, a beautiful flower throws out fragrance. Bees come and mess around, cowkins and eats it up. All kinds of things happen to them also. Or see they pluck, they cut it out and put it here, poor thing.  In India, more flowers are used on living people. But once you come west, flowers are usually for the dead. Bernard Shaw went to the extent of saying he was unwell in a hospital. So two friends came.  Another came with flowers. He looked at them and said, too late for fruits, too early for flowers. Your loyalty to your wonderfulness is not there. The flower is very loyal. No matter if you pluck it also, it's still fragrant. If the cow eats it also, it's fragrant. If the bee messes around also, it's fragrant. It never got angry and turned it your skunk ever. Hello? Did it ever do that? But you are not like that. You are wonderful like this.  Yes or no? Hello? You are wonderfulness. You are not loyal to your wonderfulness. This happened. Siamkant Pillai was running a pet shop and there was a nice dog, a golden retriever, a wonderful dog. Somebody came to buy this grown up dog. They asked how much? He said, $2,000. $2,000 for a dog? Isn't it too much? Siamkant Pillai said, just look at him. Isn't he wonderful? The man looked at it and said, yes, he's a wonderful dog. He paid the money. He was taking but he asked, is he loyal? Of course, he is loyal. I sold him seven times and he's back in hours. So, are you loyal to your wonderfulness? This is all you have to do. Instead of pursuing enlightenment, just do this. Choose any one thing. I will leave it to you. Either joy or blissfulness or love or anger or hatred, you choose whatever you want. Just be loyal to one thing, every moment of your life. How's that? You will become enlightened. The problem right now is of loyalty. You keep chasing your own tail. You keep running, of course, but you think you're going somewhere. You're not going anywhere. Especially if you're pursuing enlightenment, you definitely not going anywhere. Just stay loyal to one quality that you choose. I won't even tell you be loving, be joyful, be blissful, no. If you like anger, if you like hatred, if you like jealousy, but every moment you must be like that. Your job is done. Really? That's all it takes. No matter what is happening, whatever may be happening, you just be loyal to one quality. Nishchalatattvam jeevan mukti. If you're on wavering, that is all. Right now the problem is it's going all over the place. Every moment your loyalty is changing, isn't it? When you sit here, yes, Sadhguru.   Just be loyal to that one thing, every moment of your life.  You're going 15-year-old. Yes, please, whoever. Take a microphone. Namaskaram, Sadhguru. In the corporate world today, there's a lot of people who are taking micro doses of psychedelics like LSD and they say that it enhances their clarity and improves their productivity. So I was just wondering what your thoughts on this and if it has any impact on the individual. Thank you. Because of the way many corporates function, people used to say because of the way the corporations are functioning and growing, God saved the world. But if this is happening, God saved the corporates. Because if you're attaining to clarity, you're attaining to clarity because of chemical usage, all the best, it will come to you, life will catch up. I think you should retire them by the time they're 35 because even if it's very controlled chemical usage, you know, athletes have been doing it for physical purposes. Those... some of the top US athletes have died before they are 40, you know? Olympic gold-winning athletes have died before they are 40. Actually in their early 30s, many of them have died because chemically-infused performance, physical or mental, it is going to cost. It is just that one thing they have forgotten is the greatest chemical factory on the planet is here. Yes or no? The most sophisticated and complex chemical factory on the planet is here.  Suppose the psychedelics are not available on the street because they're illegal anyway, they're not legal. Only marijuana is legal, that too only in two or three states. Rest is illegal stuff. Suppose there's a crack down and it's not available, how is this corporate going to function with all fuzzy-brained whatever. I've been saying this but people are not taking it lightly. Right now there is a moment going on because now which country? Thailand, is it? Thailand or Indonesia? Thailand, I think. Thailand declared marijuana is legal, is it? Is it Thailand? You're keeping in touch with all that. Is it Thailand? Canada we know in the... in Asia I'm talking, I think Thailand. So now there is a small movement in India and of course you can't start such a movement in Pakistan or Bangladesh because you will get killed. In India there is a moment in the universities that marijuana should be legalized. I said, see alcohol was illegal, you know, this is a bootlegging state, moonshining state, but they made it legal because they couldn't control it. In every corner they were brewing here and there and making money and gunfights and stuff happening. So they thought the government decided it's better instead of somebody else making money, the government makes money. In Tamil Nadu the excise revenue, the excise duty on the liquor, the earning for Tamil Nadu state, one state is thirty-three thousand crores. So will they give it away to somebody? So the government decided to make the profit. Of course the healthcare industry also grew along with that. Now marijuana goes legal, it's just wait for the maximum fifteen to twenty-five years, cocaine will be legal. When they cannot control it, when it proliferates all over the place, government will decide not because it's good for the citizens, that's a... that will be the talk, but essentially because there is money and somebody else is making the money, the governments will decide let's make the money instead of somebody else making the money. So you can be quite sure if marijuana becomes legal, hundred percent in the entire country, within fifteen years time or maximum twenty years time, if it takes that long, I doubt it, cocaine will become legal.  Yes sir, no, you will. Well coffee is doing it, isn't it? If... what cocaine is just twenty-five cups of coffee at a time? Yes, that's what it is. Caffeine is not any less than cocaine, a milder version. Well some of the drinks like the Red Bull and there's another thing, what is that? Much more caffeine. What is that? Monster, is it? There have been... there have been many cases, after drinking these drinks people have had hot educks and died because he just such a strong stimulant. It's like you're having many cups of strong coffee at a time. So what to allow, what not to allow? There is no perfect judgment about this, but tobacco is still legal but at least in America people had the sense to campaign in such a way that at least nobody is blowing the smoke in your face anymore and you're not feeling like a not a complete man because you don't smoke. There was a time in seventies and eighties you felt like you're not an adequate male if you're not smoking. Inner equate you were feeling simply because you were not blowing smoke into somebody else's face. At least that got cured. So similarly maybe cocaine will become legal and somebody will run a campaign and then by then how much damage? How many people died of tobacco advertisements? Hello? Nobody counts because who is interested in the dead, who's got the time for the dead? Once the funeral is over we have other businesses to attend to. All the people who died, eating bad food or smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol, nobody can count how many they are, isn't it? But when people are not taught any other way to enhance their life, if you've not been taught how to simply sit here blissed out, how can I tell you don't drink alcohol? How can I tell you don't do drugs? Because it is an aspiration of every life to be enhanced, one way or the other, isn't it? Every life wants to be enhanced, one way or the other. So what is the way forward for the humanity? What is it that would work for all of us? People were saying marijuana, marijuana, when I went on the Youth and Truth campaign, the universities, they brought this up again and again because they want me to say yes. Then I said, see, I am not against marijuana but would you like your Uber driver to be smoked out?   Would you want that? No? Then how can you say you will come to the university smoked out? How can you say I will go to the office smoked out?  Anything that you're doing which needs a certain amount of application and incisive way of doing things, that means you must be at your best. You can't be in a daze and do those things about corporates. See, the problem is especially you must watch this out. It's happening everywhere but I think the infection comes from United States. We have this habit of calling all our compulsive behavior as our freedom.  Salt is mocked as sugar, sugar is mocked as salt, flour is mocked as something else. Now you cook, we can imagine how your cake will be, huh? How your sambar will be, we can imagine that, isn't it? That's how life will become. If you call your compulsions as freedom, your life will go totally wacky. You have seen this in sixties once, hello? We will do what we want, we are free, free everything, free love, free sex, free, free, free everything free. All that happened is in my generation, people who were around me, my own friends and people I knew well, at least my age group, at least thirteen to fifteen of them died before they were thirty-five. Some overdosed, some drove their motorcycles into a rock or something something because free. Even then, we were all in motorcycles, I always spoke of control because if you don't have control, you don't have freedom on two wheels. That's true with everything actually, hello? The more control you have, the more freedom you have with whatever you do with a machine or yourself, isn't it? If you talk about freedom, value will be free, you will not even be bound by the body, you will become free. That'll happen soon, yes. It'll happen very soon. Athletes who are in heightened levels of physical fitness are just falling dead before they're forty. Why? Because chemically infused performance, isn't it? So whether it's physical performance or mental performance, if it is chemically infused, if it is not organic to your system, you will pay a price and everybody around you will pay a price. Right now, they're telling me thirty-eight percent of the European population is on psychiatric medication, thirty-eight percent, okay? That is some hundred and fifteen or hundred and twenty million people. If you just pull out a few drugs from the marketplace, you know what'll happen?  People think it's the gun. No, gun never shoots by itself to people because one thing is from an early age, they're on alcohol or drugs or whatever, smallest things can throw them off.  You have seen everywhere in your life, maybe by your own experience or people around you or in the movies you have seen, people who are on drinks and drugs don't need much provocation to go violent, isn't it so? Huh? They need very little provocation or no provocation, simply they will go. So why are you surprised when you're selling so much alcohol, so much drugs, why are you surprised the guns are firing? Nobody is addressing the real problem. Guns don't fire by themselves, it's the people, isn't it? Maybe this is an unpopular statement to make because country is divided on this, I'm not taking political stance, but realistically guns don't fire by themselves. People who are on alcohol and drugs, they're... they may be psychologically, medically normal, but anytime they can flip, isn't it? A perfectly normal person, when he's drunk, can he shoot or no? Huh? Hello? A certified normal psychologically stable person, when he gets drunk or when he's drugged, he can simply shoot, isn't it? And most people are never off it, they're on it 24 hours in some scale. Maybe they're not fully drunk, they're on it. They may not be totally out of control, but little provocation they will go. What somebody else drives at the low rpm, they go at a high rpm for every small thing and if it's happening in the corporate office, that the morning there's notting and coming, I can imagine the situations. People will pay a price. When it becomes prevalent, then there'll be a big price for the entire society and the nation. Not you, not you, no, no, no. Many of them never got to say anything, they will ask the questions. What is your plan and vision for 2019? Thank you. There are many things. I don't want to scare you right now. One thing you know 2019 is the 25th Mahasivaratri in Isha. Mahasivaratri has been happening forever. But in Isha Yoga Center, it is the 25th Mahasivaratri, so it's going to be very special as an event. There are many surprises we won't tell you right now. It will come and it's a big surprise. If you can be there, just be there. Don't miss this opportunity because we are doing everything possible to make it something else. About what else? There are many, many things. One important thing is by a covenant, not to say certain things right now too early. Anyway, there are some big surprises for you in this year. Many fundamental changes are being made in the organization and the way things are delivered and the number of languages it's going in, many things happening. And something that I can share with you is somebody is getting me a really nice brand new motorcycle. So when I go back from here, if it's ready, I'm riding from Bangalore to Coimbatore on a motorcycle after almost thirty-five years, thirty years maybe. So beyond that I'm not able to say anything. Okay, connected with that, the Kaviri River is a river around which I grew up. I floated down this river once for thirteen days on a truck tube and it's a magnificent river, not one of the largest rivers but in terms of the population that it touches and the terrain it flows through, it's very unique. More than anything, we love this river because we've been around it forever. I grew up around this river. So this river has depleted almost thirty-nine percent in the last fifty years. So right now we're in the process of talking to the governments. This river basin, the Kaviri River basin is eighty-three thousand square kilometers. Our project is to turn at least one-third of this into trees, agro-forming, forests and whatever under shade. So as a part of this, we are talking to both the governments, we need some concessions from them to make it work because eighty percent of the land is farmland, twenty percent forest we will anyway do. The remaining fifteen percent, what we have to do is in farmland, we have to convert this into agro-forestry which is the main challenge. If these things come through with the government in the month of September, again this motorcycle is coming for that purpose that from the origin of the river which is called as Telakaviri to the delta in Tamil Nadu, we are riding about hundred motorcycles and about thirty to thirty-five events on the way. As a way of implementing this maybe over a fortnight, so this movement is called Kaviri Calling. Kaviri is calling, will you hear or not? So we'll be doing Kaviri Calling if you want to be a part of that in the month of September. The dates are not fixed but it will come somewhere there and most probably it's already been kind of approved but still not officially sanctioned. It's third of September on which day we took, we started the Rally for Rivers is going to be declared as River Revitalization Day in India. There are a lot of river related projects happening across the country. Our volunteers are doing a phenomenal job on the ground. The foremost one which will start anytime soon is the Vagari River in Maharashtra where our volunteers are literally meeting every farmer, twenty-seven thousand families exist in this river basin. They're literally meeting every farmer to convince them that this needs to be done. This region is notorious for farmer suicides because it's very harsh land, serious water concerns. So this is the most difficult terrain to work. So we have chosen this so that we can set up an example so that people, I mean we can set up a module that the people, nobody will have any doubt that it can be done, it can be done. It just takes a certain amount of force to make it happen. So the government is completely come across for this idea. Budgets have been allocated. Anytime in the next three days cabinet approvals will happen and this will be on the ground. Apart from that, there is going to be a burst of many languages. The videos are being translated into over seventeen languages right now, about eight Indian languages and nine international languages and already some of them are out but much more will be out in the next few months. And somebody donated a prime office space in Bangalore city where about two hundred work stations have been set up. I think a hundred and seventy work stations have been set up and we are looking for sponsors to see till now everything that's been done in Isha has been done by volunteer enthusiasm. Enthusiasm has been the main quality, not necessarily talent. Yes, because we never hired the people that we want. It's only those who came, we trained them and did whatever we did. Their devotion and dedication did wonderful things. But never we hired the right kind of talent to do a particular job. Whoever came somehow but it worked well. But now our time has come, we need proper talent to run this. So about an office with about hundred and seventy work stations and hired people are going to sit there because the foundation cannot pay for it. Right now sponsors have come forth for about forty-seven employees, three years salaries they've sponsored. So forty-seven will go any time before fifteenth of January. As the sponsors come, the rest of the places will be filled up. When we have a hundred and seventy strong back office, we're going to be far more efficient because volunteers have been fantastic but they are there today, tomorrow morning they may be gone. Again we have to search for another volunteer who will fill that space. It's a lot of juggling. If I was little sane I would have lost my sanity because I was always like this. No danger. Otherwise managing all these things with volunteer force which is fantastic but very volatile and anytime they'll be gone. Suddenly they don't give three months notice. Suddenly there is a wedding, there is a birth, there is a death, something happens, something happens, poof they're gone. Or simply they fell in love with somebody. But now we're going to have about hundred and seventy people probably in the next four months to six months as the sponsors come for each employee somebody is sponsoring them. So once that happens we will have one hundred and seventy paid staff sitting there six days of the week. So many things will happen more efficiently please see how you can participate. We would like to set up a similar office in United States. We need at least an office of hundred people who are there all the time. Why this is important is in my... it's very clear in my mind we have something like fifteen to twenty-five year window. In this window if we don't turn humanity around like she just asked the question that people going to office see only street bumps were smoking okay.  Others drank only Saturdays but slowly it became every evening but somebody who has a responsible job does not drink in the morning and go yes. But now people who have responsible jobs not drink pop LSD and go to their work. In my estimate in twenty-five to fifty years time max ninety percent of humanity will be on some kind of chemical. Once they're on chemicals you cannot talk to them. You cannot talk to them. You know this hello? Once they're on chemicals you just cannot talk to them. So whatever talking we want to do we want to do it quickly to every human being whatever damn language they speak or understand we want to speak in that language and make sure we make them understand this much. Human experience is caused from within. Just this one thing if they understand all human experience happens from within. If you're willing you can cause whatever experience you want. You don't need to drink, you know you don't need to drug, you don't need to fly, you don't need to go to heaven. If you know what to do with this what experience you want you can generate in this isn't it? This one thing if everybody understands in the world they will not go the chemical way. Fortunately lot of corporates are also doing yoga. The super super successful people in the world today are at least a whole lot of them. At least I would say thirty percent of them are doing at least five ten minutes of meditation, some twisting, turning, some kind of nonsensical yoga but something they're doing. Beginning to do that's a good sign. Before ninety percent goes on chemicals we have to at least talk to them. They must understand that what happens within me is entirely my doing. This one thing if we make the entire population understand we've done our job we can die. Yes we want to do that. In the next five to ten years time we want to make sure every human being on the planet understands this much. That human experience happens from within, not because of alcohol, not because of drug, not because of marriage, not because of something simply from within. Either you take charge of it or you don't take charge of it that's up to you. At least you must understand this is the way it works.  No you have privacy in this world. Nobody is bloody interested in looking at what the hell you're doing. I think you should eat and you're a young man. You can't be waiting for a long time. There are many people of much older. Okay. Satguru, this is the last... I first came here for consecration of the lingam here and it showed its way to Tantra Yoga and I've been following Tantra Yoga for the last three years and I've fully devoted my life full on. I left job, family, everything. As you're talking about psychedelics and all, I'm a physician myself. I'm doing research into it and I would like to speak with you later on personally if you don't mind. Okay. That's all my question. That's a good question. I don't have to answer. Please anybody, last question. Let's finish it, please. Who's the oldest person among the hands raised? Namaskaram, Satguru. My name is Uday. My question is about doing what works and your other point about doing the right things. Do what works and doing the right things give you the right results in my life, be it business negotiations or even in marriage or even raising kids or career decisions. How do I know what is it that works? Training, education can give me some foundation but in the moment of making a decision, how do I know what is it that works for a given situation? Always after the fact... Okay, okay. We got the question. Don't explain. You're married and you want to know what works.  Then it works. Just like God. Whatever anybody does, just learn to be like God. Never intervene in anything.  Just like God, marriage will work. It may not work with your profession. See, you're misunderstanding this. You're trying to make this into some kind of a value system. You're trying to make it your philosophy. I will do only what works. Well, you took a oath, I will do only what works. Now you don't know what works, because what works will not come with a oath or a commandment. What works comes with constant observation and evolution of who you are, isn't it? Hello? The same things. How you made them work. How clumsily you made something work ten years ago. The same thing, you may be doing it with ease today, isn't it so? Or you may be doing it clumsily today. You're doing it well at one time, whichever way, whichever kind of evolution has happened. So what works is not some kind of a formula. It is an evolution of a human being to come to what works on all levels of life.  No, I'm not a self-help book. Do what works.  What's my problem? But what's the point of doing something that doesn't work? Hello?   But for your life, because it's a limited amount of time, what is the point doing something that does not work, isn't it? Either it should work for you or it should work for people around you.  This happened. Soldiers, American soldiers were leaving on duty. So one of them told the other, you know Steve's wife, she read three musketeers and she delivered a triplet, delivered triplets. This is the, oh my god, my wife is reading Birth of a Nation. What am I supposed to do? That's not how it works. So don't make this into some kind of an ethic or a philosophy. I will do only what works. Well, just to see what works needs a lot of application, even for the smallest damn things, isn't it? Hello? To do a smallest thing, like hitting a ball or kicking a ball straight, you know? How much it takes, somebody who can kick a ball where he wants, wow, the whole world is worshiping him.  Because people understand what it takes. Nobody is worshiping him because he kicks a ball because people can see what has gone into it. Isn't it so? People can see what has gone into to be able to kick a ball the way he is kicking, what has gone into it, is a life has gone into it. So don't make philosophies and ethics out of everything or don't tell yourself a commandment, I will do only what works. It's a good commandment but now you don't know what works.  If you just learn this much that you don't decide what is important and what is not important. I was in the Rally for Rivers Board meeting just before I came here in New Delhi. The CII, that is the Confederation of Indian Industry, their board also participated in the Rally for Rivers Board because they are looking at how to vote this because slowly people are realizing the magnitude of what has been unfolded. Everybody is trying to be part of it. We have an eminent board. The CEO of the World Wildlife Fund and the top most water experts and the top most farming farmers, producer, organization people, we have a judge from the Supreme Court and it's a very eminent board. As this Cauvery Calling project was being talked about and for every question particularly certain experts had and they were asking, I was casually telling them what to do. They said, how do you know all these things? I said, right from my early childhood I just wandered around without any purpose, without any purpose. Simply I wandered in the jungles, in the forests, in the rivers and this. But I paid absolute attention to every plant, every insect, the air, the moisture, the works and everything. What was aimless wonder today is becoming formidable knowledge that is not written in any damn book. For the first time somebody is talking in a comprehensive way, not from a textbook. This was just aimless wonder. As a child, as a youth, just wandered around without any purpose. So even if it is purposeless, you can't live without attention, isn't it? Hello? So just do this one thing, stop discriminating what is important, what is not important. If you pay the same level of absolute attention to every damn thing, you will see that what is the right thing to do is a very natural process. But you have already decided what is important, what is not important, how will you evolve, what is the right thing to do? Half the world has already been given up because it's not important. You are paying attention, only you even look at somebody properly, only if they are of something to you. No, I looked at everybody, absolutely.  I paid attention to everything. Today they are saying this is something phenomenal. I was just laughing and saying, see, I just wandered aimlessly, everybody thought I am just a wagon wand.  Small things are big things. If you are absolutely involved, absolutely, you will see, you will know what's the right thing to do. You're trying to live here without involvement. This is why you have morals, you have ideals, you have ideologies, you have values, you have ethics, you have commandments because you are trying to live here without involvement. You want ready-made formula, what is the right thing to do? Thou shall not, thou shall not, thou shall not. Did the world get fixed, I'm asking? Every goddamn school going, children knows what is the right thing to do. Has it worked? It's not worked because you think there is a substitute for involvement. There is no substitute for involvement. Where there is no involvement, there will be no life. So don't try to make formulas or ideals or ideologies out of life. All life takes is absolute involvement, unbridled involvement, not distinguishing who is who, what is what. Just absolutely involved with everything that you're in touch with right now. If you do this one thing, well, according to your level of intelligence and you know, nature also should yield. With all this, you will know what is the best thing to do, given your perspective, of course. See, right now if you bring the man of certain capability, he may do something in a given situation. That's not the right thing to do for you, isn't it? You must know what is the right thing for you to do in a given situation. You won't be able to do what he does. You must be able to do what you can do to the best of your ability. That is the right thing to do in your life. You don't try to do like somebody else.  Now, there is no readyment solution, involvement. There is no substitute for involvement. Where there is no involvement, there's no life.   See, say I'm a really nice guru, okay? I'm a really nice guru, because I'm not telling you, this is the thing to do. Everybody who came or always trying to tell you, this is the thing to do.  Do it well, and that cannot be done without involvement, isn't it? Small things and big things. Will you do it with total involvement? How you wake up in the morning, total involvement?   How you eat, total involvement?  Everything that you do, you do not distinguish what is small, what is big.  Okay, then don't do it. If you think it is not important, or if you think it's dirty, you should not do it. I'm saying, do not make a distinction what is filthy and what is sacred. This is where the key is, because involvement means untruthed inclusion also. The moment you say this is sacred, this is filthy, can you involve with the filthy? Hello? You will be constipated. Yes, and then nothing will work. So, 2019, a year of absolute involvement, indiscriminate involvement, not indiscriminate action, indiscriminate involvement. Can you look at a weed, at a weed outside with as much involvement as you would look at your child? This is all you need to do. Just bring this kind of involvement, untruthed. Absolutely involvement. You will see life will blossom in a wonderful way. 2019, you must blossom. Those who are chasing enlightenment, just relax a bit and just be involved with whatever the hell you're doing. Life will happen in a wonderful way.


Hello, everyone. My name is Shiyang and my colleagues here, Yu Xiangzhu, we're both from Beijing office. So today's topic is about continuous delivery midst open shift. If you are a developer, I think you must be familiar with CI, CD, and maybe open shift. So today we want to talk about more about Red Hat, how we use the continuous delivery plus open shift. And the presentation will be split into two parts. First part I want to talk a little bit more about the before we're moving to the all-in-the-open shift, what's the problem we had. And the second part my colleague Yu Xiang, he's from P&T DevOps, he will talk a little bit more about the how the way solve the problem. So without any further ado, we can just jump into the problem. There's two major problems. I will break it down like into different perspective. So the first one is more relate to the environments. So in a traditional environment, bug cannot be reproduced really easily for some historical reasons, like some of our internal projects at Red Hat. It's a little bit hard to keep depth and QE and the stage and the production environment similar. So here's a story. There's a developer, he made some code change, maybe it's a feature implementation, he write the unit test, function test, integration test, and compile past the CI CD and then he released. Then comes to the quality engineers responsibility. He just fetched the release from maybe RPM or something, but unfortunately he found a bug. That's a little bit sad. But since the precondition I mentioned before, since the developers and the QEs, they're not using or sharing the same environments, their environments are different. When the QEs submit a bug, maybe on bugzilla or something, it's hard to reproduce for developers. This could be a severe problem. Sometimes it may took like four or five days back and forth the QE and developer collaborate together to troubleshooting and figure out whether the issue is related to the environment or code change. So here comes the second one. The traditional environments are hard to clone, provide, rebuild, or even deliver the same environment or mirror environment really easily. So your customer may want to clone your environment for test. You may also clone all the service dependency, which I will talk a little bit later, of your project to the other teams. In an extremely conditioned like, what if your environment lost due to the hardware failure? Is there any easy way for you to rebuild? So previously, some of the team, they had a really long documentation TDS for step one, two, three, four, five to help you to how to rebuild the environment or clone or set up the correct environment. Some teams even better, they automate it with like scripting, like automation tools, but like each team like reinvent the wheel, this is not really good.  Sometimes that tool is really hard for like each team to fit their, everybody's need. So is there any more genetic way to solve this problem, even without like writing any tools or codes? So the third environment problem is some traditional environments, sometimes lowering the performance and resource utilization. So many of your team or projects may already have the pipeline for CI and some of the CI maybe are jinkers. Due to some reason, you might have some fixed numbers of slaves. And this is not really flexible sometimes. And if you want to run, let's say, a destructive case, maybe your slave is a VM and you have to wait the previous guy to finish up their test and recovering the whole environment so that you can occupy the machine. But ideally, we want to, at Red Hat, we want to like use each machine as much as possible. Like you can run multiple jobs in one machine, it's VM or bare metal, simultaneously paralyze and use the resource as less as possible. So the second problem I want to talk is more about the service dependencies. When I said service dependency, I didn't mean the OpenShift service or how good you feel about the waiter or waitress service you last night. And when I said the service dependencies, I mean the micro service, which is a kind of best practice for you to deploy your application in a cloud-native way. So imagine there's a huge company and when your project's getting bigger and bigger, there's a lot of increasing micro service. Your service depends on service of someone else. Someone else's service maybe depends on yours. How do you make sure an upgrade of the service will not break the others? Let me just like explain it more simpler. Maybe we have a downstream and an upstream, like two teams. One is working on downstream and another work on the upstream. You can also consider it as two service dependencies. So they're both pretty productive. They like making code change pretty frequently, maybe every day, couple minutes and hours. But due to the system complexity and a lot of, like, interlive the service dependencies, the release, sometimes it could be really hard because you have to make sure all those components, all those dependencies, pass the CEI, it's a complicated release process and it usually sometimes took four or five days. This difference sometimes could make, like, your code change will accumulate, like, four or five days, so that each release will, like, accumulate a lot of code change. This is not really good, and sometimes it's a high, like, risking task because according to the philosophy or best practice of continuous delivery, we want to each time, like, push, make the code as small as possible so that you can isolate the problem and troubleshooting more easily. And the second one, we want to release the code or make the release as frequent as possible, even every minute, so you can travel and find, roll out and find the problem as soon as possible. So with all those problems we had, how do you solve it? My colleague Yu Xiangzhu, he will talk a little bit more about how the P&T develops. We solved this problem from the Red Hat. Thanks, Shiyang. So in Red Hat, I want to share with some experience in Red Hat about how we use the development practice of continuous delivery on OpenShift to solve all the problems Shiyang just mentioned. Before we talk about the concept of continuous delivery, let's think about the concept of continuous integration or just the CI.  Let's recall this without CI. So in the old days, some developer teams had a rule, some people called the build person. So you have a development team and maybe five or more developers working on a project. So when your manager asked you to release a new version, the build person should get some work from somebody and another people, the files from another people. He gets all the files from all developers and makes it up. And hopefully the shared code base will build and works. So if anything goes wrong, you probably need to take a very long time to figure out what's going wrong. So it's a slow procedure. It may take several weeks before you can actually get your build success. So with continuous integration, we require every developer to integrate their change to the source code to a shared repository. As soon as possible, maybe several times a day, this will encourage the developer to make little change to the source code and they test with the whole project. So if anything goes wrong, you can easily figure out what's the problem and you can easily fix it. That's the idea of continuous integration. But the problem is even with CI, your shared source code is buildable and even works perfectly in developers or in workstation or even in the development environment, nobody has the confidence that it will be fine if you really put your new version of your software into production environment. So the developers always eager to deploy their new feature to the production environment. But operator guys, they may be not happy because nobody knows what we are having. So now the continuous delivery, the concept comes into the play. So continuous delivery is also a development practice extension to the concept of CI, which requires developers to rapidly deliver their change to a production-like environment and make some automated tests to ensure that if we deploy the new version of the software into the real production, it will be fine. So here I want to make a clear distinguish between two very similar terms. One is called a continuous delivery, another is continuous deployment. So in continuous deployment, every change from a developer will be constantly deployed into production automatically. So in some internet companies like Facebook, they already put continuous deployment in practice for a long time. But in continuous delivery, we can actually do it, but we may choose not to. It's more like business decision. So we can deploy our shared code base into the production if we want, but we may choose not to. So that's the difference between continuous delivery or continuous deployment. How to implement continuous delivery? I would say the ingredient of continuous delivery is automation. So basically, you need to automate everything you can imagine. So you need automated build, automated test, all the script like to deploy your application into different environments and automatically do the configuration, set up database and provision machine, everything. So it's a lot of work and it's actually not easy to automate everything. But today we have OpenShift. The following section I will introduce you some features, some advantages that OpenShift will bring you to help you implement your continuous delivery pipelines. In OpenShift, your application is run, shaped and managed in the form of containers or container images. So the container image has your program and all the dependencies, the fast system in the image. So you can actually minimize the difference between different environments and different deployments. And OpenShift has a feature called OpenShift template. So with OpenShift template, you can actually write a template for all your environments. People from other teams or if they want to, like, clone your environments, they can just run, use your OpenShift template to start a new deployment with your, with the exactly same configuration, just like a one-click. And you can also leverage all the hardware resource of the whole cluster. So you don't need to worry about the hardware, don't need to worry about provision machine or upgrade your hardware configuration. It's all automatic way. So the most exciting thing is OpenShift has a feature called OpenShift pop-line, which can help you implement your CD pop-lines in a manageable and fancy way. This is OpenShift pop-line. OpenShift pop-line is actually something that brings the power of Jenkins into OpenShift. So Jenkins is a very powerful CI CD tool and it has a feature called Jenkins pop-line, which allows you to write your pop-line code in a text file called Jenkins file. And OpenShift extends this technology by providing you a new domain specific language so you can, in your Jenkins file, you can write some groovy, in groovy language, you can just write the OpenShift DFL to interact your pop-line code with the OpenShift API server. And once you create a new OpenShift pop-line job, Jenkins job will be automatically created and linked to the OpenShift job. So it has a built-in synchronization mechanism. Here's a real example. In Red Hat, we implemented a CD pop-line for RiverDB. It's an open source project hosted by Pagger. If you're interested in the CD pop-line implementation, you can go to Pagger.io, search for RiverDB. So here's the high-level workflow of the CD pop-line. Every time a developer submits a change to an SEM, the change will go through the whole pop-line. So the pop-line will firstly perform some basic text and run unit tests to ensure your code is, your code looks good. And then maybe build RPMs, run RPM checks. And finally, the pop-line will build a container image for you from the source code. Then the image will be deployed into a temporary environment, and we will run some functional tests and other some high-level tests to it. If all tests are passed, we will tag the image as latest and push into the container registry. So when the image is tagged as latest, we will say we have the confidence that the image is good enough to deploy into a development environment. So the next steps are actually promote this container image into the stage environment, and finally the production environment. It does so by, like, if you want to promote an image from the dev version to the stage version, we need to, like, pull the latest, the dev version of your application and all the stage version of your application dependencies. Then we will run some end-to-end tests and other high-level integration tests to ensure that once you promote your image from dev to stage, you won't break anything. So similar procedure happens when you promote the image from stage into production.  If you remove this switch, it's called a continuous deployment. But if you add this switch, it's continuous delivery. This is how the pipeline looks like in the OpenShift dashboard. But if you create an OpenShift pipeline job, click the build pipeline button, you will see all the pipeline jobs. And click into a pipeline job, you can see all stages in your pipeline here, like this. So now how to write your OpenShift pipeline. Here is the... So we need to introduce the Janks file first. The Janks file is basically a text file written in the GUI reprogramming language. It's a feature provided by Jenkins. You can create a text file like this. The agent part specifies which node you want to run your pipeline. And in the stages part, you define different stages in your pipeline. And in every stage, you can write some GUI source code for your pipeline workflow. In OpenShift, you can actually create a build config, but that's the build strategy to Jenkins pipeline strategy. And then you can put your Janks file here. Actually, you have two options. One option is copy your content of Janks file into the build config object. The other option is store your Janks file into an SEM, like GitHub, and then reference your Janks file from an external Git repo. So here I have an example, build config, and you can download my slides and take a look. If you have a running OpenShift cluster, you can add the YAML file to your OpenShift cluster and click the build button. Let's see how it works. So this is the YAML file. So you can see we include Janks file here, and we define the agent. The agent is actually a pod template of OpenShift. So the metadata part is the name of your OpenShift pipeline job, and here you define the pod template. So your pipeline will be run in a pod on OpenShift. This feature is supported by a Janks plugin. Then you can add this build config to OpenShift. And here in the OpenShift dashboard, you can see a job is created like this. You can click the button, start pipeline, or use your command line, or say start build the pipeline job name to start a new build of your OpenShift pipeline job. And here a new build is started. When you click the view log button, OpenShift will navigate you to the Janks master page. So you can see the procedure of how your pipeline runs in Jenkins. OpenShift will automatically start a new pod based on the pod template you provided and run all the steps inside your OpenShift pod. And go back to the OpenShift dashboard, you can see all the steps here. Because your OpenShift pipeline job is configured in an OpenShift object in the form of a YAML or JSON, so you can actually use the OpenShift template to package your pipeline job as OpenShift applications. With this approach, you will give the flexibility to your team members or downstream developers to deploy their own pipeline jobs for their application folks. So with OpenShift pipeline, every time you trigger a new build of your job, a new pod will be created and provisioned so you can actually run your pipeline multiple builds in parallel. You don't need to worry about if someone occupies that machine. So when you have a very long and complex pipeline, this will dramatically speed up your development cycle. And with this approach, all your pipeline code secrets and the whole build environment are presented in SEM. So you don't need to worry about how a failure will cause you to lose your build and test environment. So you can store your OpenShift pipeline job as build config YAMLs in SEM, and your credentials can be presented as OpenShift secrets. So you can create a general OpenShift secrets with this tag, so the secret will be automatically to the Jenkins master. So you don't need to backup your data on the Jenkins master. All you need is keep your YAML files and you will have everything. Let me summarize all the benefits we have with OpenShift pipeline. You can actually use OpenShift pipeline DSLR to interact with OpenShift with APS server without calling the OC command and the pasta output manually. And you can use the Kubernetes plugin to run your pipeline Jenkins leaves as OpenShift path, so you don't need to worry about provision new machine to run your pipeline. And you can actually define some OpenShift templates for all environments of your application and you don't need to worry about the environment could be destroyed or be lost. That's all we talk about today. Question Q&A time. Thank you guys. So if you guys have any questions, you can just ask here, please. Can we use GitLab instead of Jenkins? Can we use GitLab instead of Jenkins? You mean the GitLab? GitLab CI. Oh, GitLab CI. Actually, this feature is highly integrated with Jenkins. So every time you create a new build config, OpenShift will automatically create a Jenkins job in the linked Jenkins master. So by so far, the pipeline is actually running in Jenkins and Jenkins is running as OpenShift path. So your question is, do I know, do we know how the pipeline works between different namespaces or projects? Yeah. Okay. So your question is, if you have many projects, how do you deal with this situation? So actually, when the OpenShift build config is our namespace, the resource, so when you create a pipeline in a project, OpenShift will look for a service called Jenkins inside your project. So if you already defined an OpenShift service in your project, it will find the Jenkins master using the backpoints of the service. So if you have a Jenkins master, but in every project, you have a service inside every project, but the service is linked to the same Jenkins master. The job will be created in that Jenkins master, but you can also have different Jenkins masters. So OpenShift does it just like looks for the OpenShift service called Jenkins to find the Jenkins master. Building one project trigger on a successful run on a build in a different project or like if you want to, once the data build passed and you wanted to push that image to stage, do you have to trigger the stage build So the question is in the promotion workflow, if we like push the image to the dev how to trigger the next stage. So currently we have in our internal project we have a micro service called report tracker which will track the registry tag changes. So if there is a new tag change like the latest tag change to another container image, we will know that. We will set up trigger to trigger the next stage. What's the result of the test? Result of the test page. Where they are kept? Where they are kept? Is there some evokes place of the Jenkins slaves which are put now into some NFS or some others to keep the history? So your question is where we keep the test log and other results? Yeah, so it's actually the logs are still in Jenkins. So it's still in Jenkins. And the Jenkins master, so the Jenkins slave is informal so when the job, when the build is finished the slave will be killed. But the Jenkins master has a persistent storage config. So everything on Jenkins master is actually persistent. So actually you need to use the, in Jenkins there, in Jenkins pipeline there is a step called archive something to like move, to copy the content in your Jenkins slave into master. Master is also part, but we, in OpenShift you can create a persistent storage claim and mount the storage, mount the volume into Jenkins. So actually all the files are persistent in the persistent volume. So if you kill the Jenkins master, OpenShift will start a new part for the new Jenkins master but it will still mount the same storage so everything is still kept. You mean the two stages, one is finished? Yeah, in the Jenkins pipeline you find something. This is taken from the official Jenkins pipeline documentation. So in Jenkins pipeline if you write stages like in the stages section stage one, stage two, this is called sequential stages. So once the first stage is done Jenkins will automatically start the next stage and there is another form of stages called parallel stage so you can actually define multiple stages that are started concurrently. So, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Troubleshooting. So the question is through the pipeline and the deployment like applications are running in OpenShift pod and sometimes your job fails and the pod is killed how do you troubleshoot, do some troubleshooting? So there are many ways to do that. So firstly, in your Jenkins pipeline actually you can write logs to the Jenkins console. So in most situations you can actually figure out what's going wrong based on the logs.  So when you find a pipeline build it failed, you can use the replay functionality in Jenkins to rerun the build with the exactly same parameters and you can actually change the pipeline code on the Jenkins configuration page and add something like a sleeve to keep the pod running. And also I want to add one more thing. I'm from the CLI guys so I know there's an OCD bug man which you can use a little bit if it helps and there's also a lot of great CLI tools for you to debug. I just mentioned some OpenShift provided tools to help you debug some problems inside OpenShift but it's a more generic topic. Thank you, I have a question.
