On this planet, the greatest technology on the planet is the human mechanism.  Okay, the next question I'm going to ask might sound a little rude and I apologize. It got me thinking about my own death and everything I wanted to do before my death. What are you waiting for? You're asking why am I not dead? You see the entire left wing of the country, always trying to pull you down. What do you make of that situation when you're trying to do so much good and people are misinterpreting you? Fortunately, it takes a certain amount of energy, time, resource to handle this. But, you see they also enhance the nationality. A big aspect of being spiritual I feel is being loving.  Dogs are very loving. I have to ask you about the 30,000 kilometer bike ride you're doing. 30,000 kilometers is no joke. Maybe this is a good ad for yogic back. If you get me 25 million earth buddies, I'll take you on a ride. I think this has already become one of the most fascinating moments of my life being in the middle of nature speaking with you. So, you know I last spoke to you like this in 2018. I feel like I was a child back then. I feel I'm a little older of a child now. But that night, I mean that conversation had such a deep impact on me because of the things you answered my questions with. Like the answers you gave, gave me the answers I needed exactly at that point in time. And that night I actually had a dream about you. This time I'll treat you like an adult, okay? Happy to just be next to you and be talking to you. Doesn't matter, you treat her. This is the thing with me. Even if they're 70 years of age, I treat them like children and they slowly become like that with me. That is the whole thing. With time people are getting crusted. That is the whole thing about life. That you don't get crusted and rusted just because of time. No, I agree. I'll still treat you as a child, okay? Happy and honored to be treated like a child. Sadhguru, it just breaks my heart that I'm having such a beautiful moment here with you and our world is in the middle of a war right now. Not the world, only two nations. Two nations. No, no, it's very important we don't exaggerate this because we should never move into that thing about two world wars have happened. We should never ever move in that direction. Conflict should not happen but in case it happens, at least it must be contained. Everybody should not jump into it. What do you think goes on in those few men's minds? You know the ones who are the decision makers, why would you consciously choose to go to war? It can't just be for economic reasons. There has to be a thought of ego as well, I think. See, these are very superfluous judgments but we must understand all this is rooted in our strong sense of identity and we want our identity to dominate somebody else's identity. So nationhood is a very strong identity. The identity is consciously built and encouraged to a point that you're willing to shed your life for your nation. Which is always considered a great virtue, right? If I'm willing to shed my life for my nation, I'm also willing to take your life for that. That is a natural process. Whether it is nation, race, religion, caste, creed or even your individuality, if you're unnecessarily identified, you will get into unnecessary levels of friction and conflict. Um, Sadhguru, isn't identity just another word for ego? Like I've constantly been thinking lately a lot about this concept of ego. The more you think about... See, when you say it's a concept of ego, that means you made it up. Why do you make it up? Okay, fair. My follow-up question... I didn't make it up, so I don't have it. These are the kind of answers that just pave with my head. Okay? I'm not ready for the next question yet, but I'm still gonna throw it at you. So, okay, the next question, honestly, is the other kind of concept that fascinates me a lot in this world and kind of still makes me feel bittersweet about the times that we live in. It's this concept of Gen Z, which is Generation Z, which means kids that are roughly born after 97. Wait, wait, wait. If you're Generation Z, don't ever say that because that means you're the last generation. That's one thing I'm trying to avoid, that you should not be the last generation. What does Gen Z mean, huh? Z is the last word, last alphabet. I think culturally, I am a millennial because I'm born pre-97. I'm also 20th century millennial. No, I think... Which millennia are you talking about? I think those are the cultural kind of terms given to... All right, but don't use the word Gen Z. That means you're the last generation. Please don't be that. We'll call you Gen A. Okay. I think the next one's called Gen Alpha. We go back to the start. Okay, it's a circular moment of alphabets. So, so I work... Once you learn the alphabet, you must go into words. Once you get the words, you must go into sentences. Once you go into sentences, you go into literature. Okay, don't keep on repeating the alphabets, man. I work with a lot of these Gen Zs and some Gen Alphas. What I notice about them is that... I seem to find a different name. Gen Z is dangerous, huh?  Don't do that. I think it's a cool sounding name, maybe in our heads as youth. But anyway, so the one thing I notice about them is that they are incredibly intelligent. Far more intelligent than my generation was at that age, 17, 18. And you talk to some 13, 14 year olds and they're even smarter than this Gen Z generation. So I look at them as like both blessed and slightly cursed. Cursed because we're living in the times of the virus. We're living in the times of this particular incident we spoke about, like the war. And then we're also living in the times of ecological damage. The good thing about Gen Z and Gen Alpha is that they're way more environmentally conscious, they're way more intelligent, they're way more strategic. They know how to use technology, design, social media, much better. But I'm very curious to kind of think of that trajectory in this world. What kind of world are they heading into? See, every generation thinking they are special is a very bad thing. Unfortunately, every generation thinks they are special. So we come from the sixties, the sixties generation thought they are really special people. All right? And they became a disaster. Don't go in that direction because this thing thinking this generation is more intelligent, that generation is more conscious, it's not like that. Because by doing that, you're shirking your individual responsibility. What do you mean? See, you got to be smart. My generation is smart. What does it mean?  Whether you're conscious or not is what my… Oh, we… our generation is more conscious. There's no such thing. This is a whole… people find thousand different ways as to how to shift the fundamental responsibility of being human to something else and something else. You're talking about Gen Z can handle their phone better than me. Maybe it's true because that's what they were born with. I could climb a tree better than any Gen Z on. Probably even now I can do it better. I can ride a motorcycle better than most Gen Z's are. So what I'm saying, whatever was available to us in our times, we've become good with it. That doesn't make us smarter. So what world are they heading into though? Like what do you think is in store for us over the next ten, twenty years? Well, if they're only looking at the phone screen or the computer screen, they're heading into a wall. You need to look up and see where is life going around you. It's very important. You're misunderstanding technology and, you know, the screen space as a reality. No, it's a technology is a wonderful tool only if you use it consciously. If you become unconscious and compulsive about it, today in United States they've set up technology de-addiction centers. Okay? Just like drug de-addiction, technology de-addiction. They're going crazy with technology. Technology has done wonders to me. We're doing hundred times the work that we were doing maybe fifteen, twenty years ago simply because of technology. I think it's a great thing. But somebody else is suffering that. Human beings are even suffering their own brains, isn't it? If they didn't have a brain, they would be peaceful. Because they have a brain, they're saying stress, stress, stress. Because you don't know how to handle the highest technology which is here. On this planet, the greatest technology on the planet is the human mechanism. People who don't know how to handle it, people who never read the user's manual, they are suffering their body and their mind. I have two follow-up questions to this. Yes, sir. The first one is, are you familiar with the whole meta-verse revolution that's happening? And the second… It's not a revolution. I've heard about meta-verse. I know what… meta-verse. Yeah, it's like virtual reality goes… Worse. That's the follow-up question. That's the second question. I'm not against any technology. I'm for it. Only if you know how to consciously handle it. See, right now, isn't this meta-verse? Yeah. Hello? That's… that was the question. Like, you know, I just hope that the technologies of the future don't take us away from nature because we are living in a beautiful civilization. Because you'll be wearing those… we are glasses and you will completely not look at the world. Yeah. See, right now, if you pay enough attention to this, this is super meta-verse, believe me. People have never paid attention. I've lived in jungles, spent weeks together just by myself. What's happening here, not simple. Even today, when I'm talking about the soil, everybody's saying, Sadhguru, how did you become an environmentalist? From where? I think it's quite vulgar to call yourself an ecologist, environmentalist, whatever. I'm not saying in scientific… as a scientific terminology, generally people calling themselves because you are a part of the ecology.   You are part of it? You're just outcome of it, isn't it? What's happening in the soil and who you are is just a reflection. It's a consequence of what's happening there. So we assume this distance, especially if you wear these VR glasses and walk around all the time, you will never see life around you, not experience life around you. So all you are having is like a psychedelic experience. At that time, during my time, everybody was doing that with LSD. Well, twelve-thirteen of my friends died doing these things. I thought they always said I will kill myself on my motorcycle, but I'm still here. They did drugs and they thought that is better because they were seeing words that didn't exist and many of them died. Others got sick. So, they were doing metaverse with chemicals. You're doing metaverse with technology. All that will happen is your mind will get distorted because the mind is a reflection of what you're exposed to. If you're more and more exposed to the unity and the harmony of the creation, that's how your mind will become. If more and more you're exposed to all these aberrations, however great it is in terms of creating, it's entertainment means you do it one or two hours, that's a different thing. But if you think that is a new world and people are buying real estate, hello? People are buying real estate in metaverse. They can't be a dumber thing than that, okay? Especially after... See, you buy a real estate in the false world. False estate, it's not a real estate. Especially after the conversation I heard of yours with Prajita right now, just before this, where you were kind of dishing out pieces of truth from the near future, where you said that 90% of the organic content in soil has deteriorated all over the world. You spoke a lot about generally the deterioration of our planet. I feel like that's the pertinent issue, but people don't focus on all the holes in the boat. They just focus on making the boat larger and larger. And we're speaking about billionaires of the world, like Elon Musk, all these people, they're trying to colonize Mars, they're trying to do all that terraforming, but here our planet is getting affected. And I feel that's the issue that Gen Z needs to talk about a lot more. So Gen, whatever, Gen... But the younger folks need to know these truths. You can call them, instead of Z, a closer term would be C, Gen confused. That's not a popular thing to say, but I'm telling you, this is very important that you don't label yourself.   Don't put one more label on yourself, because every label will restrict you in some way, isn't it? Will it not? So don't put any labels. Why don't you just live here as a living thing, breathe and exist and reverberate at the highest possible level, that's all you can do with life. Rest is all your imagination. Do not misunderstand your imagination as reality, this is very important.  This what is happening to people, what is it that they're suffering or see somebody putting pins into your body? No, you're just suffering your own mind, isn't it? The greatest thing that's happened on this planet, if you ask me in terms of technology and in terms of possibility, is human mind, but you suffer that all the time. And if I say it doesn't matter whether you were born yesterday or you were born a hundred years ago, if you are suffering your own mind, you are Gen C. How do we get people generally to just be a part of this safe soil movement? After your chatter project, I've understood the significance of it. But my question, maybe this is a capitalistic question, but how do we actually grip people's attention and tell them, listen, this is what's wrong with the planet? See, first thing is the younger generation needs to understand food comes from land.  This is called human because this is a consequence of the humus in the land. So take some time to find out how much humus is left, wherever you are. You're living in a city, everything is paved, all right? Paved land and plowed land, disaster on the planet. It is very important soil is a recycle all the time. Dead life is going into it and life is coming out of it. The most miraculous thing about soil is this, the miracle of the soil is that, nowhere in this entire universe is there a place where you can sow death and it sprouts life, burst out with life. Burry something dead here and just see in a few days how much life will be happening around it. Tell me, show me one place in the entire universe where this can happen. So right now the kind of things people are imagining up, making up in their mindsies. About a week ago, there is somebody who's got a startup, okay? If you pay 1.7 million dollars to him, when you die, you can book it right now. When you die, whenever you die, they will take your body and leave it in the space.  It will just remain the same way. For millions of years, your body can float around in the space. Maybe you can catch a ride on some spaceship. I'm saying the body that you carry is essentially soil. If you did not do anything eco-friendly, at least when you die, you must put it back where it belongs. Hello? That's the simplest thing you can do. But today, they're putting them in boxes and preserving them in buildings. Like parking lots, they're built for people to be stored in boxes. This box belongs to your grandmother. You can go and put flowers there. What is the point of preserving a dead body? It must go back because we have no business. It's a loan that we have taken. We have to put it back when our job is done, isn't it? So, doing these kind of things is all coming from the ignorance of how life happens. Life, you know, if you utter the word carbon, everybody thinks something noxious, something poisonous today because of so much stock happening in the social media about carbon, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide. Carbon is life.  Ah, this tree is carbon life. Every animal is carbon life, isn't it? This entire world, life, the fundamental material for life is carbon-based. And right now, what you call as life on one level is just a whole carbon cycle. If there is a chain which is making something, let's say motorcycles have changed. You know, these days, these chains that we have today on these motorcycles, modern motorcycles, they don't give us so much trouble. Otherwise, when I was riding motorcycle, every five hundred, six hundred kilometers, you have to check your chain because it'll become loose. If you ride like that, it'll come off and cause a disaster for you, okay? Every six hundred kilometers, seven hundred kilometers, you have to check it. Thousand kilometers, you have to take off a link because the material was such. Today, modern chains are made in such a way, we're just not bothered, we're simply riding. They're also, you must maintain. But when you're on a single trip, you don't have to bother. So a chain, any chain is a cycle, like that. Any chain is only as strong as an individual link. You don't have to break the whole chain. If you break one link, it's gone, right? Right now, this chain, the carbon chain is going on, all right? To keep the life going, that's the only way life is going. But the agricultural soil on the planet, which is one big link in the chain, has become too weak. If that breaks, life is not going to be good. You can order from your food from Swiggy, Piggy, wherever you like it. But somebody has to cook it, right? Somebody is cooking the food. The delivery mechanism won't deliver it to you. Somebody is cooking the food, somebody is growing the food. Delivery can happen on technology app. Do not misunderstand that delivery has the source. You're eating food not because of a food app. You're eating food not because of a store. You're eating food not because of your kitchen. You're eating food only because of the richness of the soil. If you don't understand this, we will pay a serious price. Unfortunately, in the last thirty-forty years, we have missed this point and caused enormous damage to the soil where 62% of India's soil has less than 0.5% organic content. This is on the verge of desertification. We are partners with UNCCD, the UN Agency to Combat Desertification. This is the biggest concern right now. The world is turning into a desert. If people don't understand how it turns into a desert, Saudi Arabia means you see a desert, right? Ten thousand years ago, it was a rainforest. Gujarat was a, you know, well-endowed forest. Rajasthan was a forest. When the Saraswati River flowed on the surface, all these were forests. The moment it was deprived and certain things changed and people did not understand what was happening, they all turned into harsh deserts. This is what will happen. It is not that tomorrow morning there will be sand dunes in your neighborhood. That's not the point because then you may think it's very romantic, you can go and sing a song there, like a movie star or something. That is not how it will happen. Food production will slowly slide. It's not like one day suddenly there will be no food. It slowly slides.  It's expected by 2032, nearly one-and-a-half billion to two billion people will be going to bed without food. It's expected by 2045, nearly three to 3.5 billion people will be going to bed without food. Is that what you want to do? And what makes you think it won't be you? What is a guarantee? It's not you. You always think these things happen to somebody else. No, no, it will happen to you and me. I've been reading a lot of historians' work, like Graham Hancock, you all know Harari, and they keep talking about how history is so deep that there's no way we can even know what happened before 10,000 years or 20,000 years. So I always think that maybe the worst civilizations that actually made some wrong moves from an environmental perspective and mother nature came to bite back. I think this is another cycle, like just like that. See, it has happened. Not on the scale it's happening now, because now it's global. Mayan civilization collapsed because they over-formed. Mesopotamia, one of the greatest civilizations in the world between two rivers, that collapsed because of over-forming. Rome as a civilization collapsed because of over-forming. Because those days, there was no massive transportation systems like railways or ships and things like that. Once they could not grow food, that city would collapse. You are not growing any food in Mumbai, all right? But you can get food from all over the world. But how long do you think it will work? Without the needed food growing around you, how long will it work? And once there is a shortage in that source, they will stop sending food to you. Already it's happening to many places. Okay, the next question I'm going to ask might sound a little rude. And I apologize. I'll also be rude, no problem. That's fine. You're allowed to be rude, yeah. But... And I'm asking you this from the perspective of me studying a book called the Garudpuran lately, which speaks about death. Oh, you're thinking what punishment I should get, is it? No, no, no. It got me thinking about my own death and everything I wanted to do before my death.  Because you're doing some extreme stuff, like the 30,000-kilometer bike ride, it's harsh on anyone's body. So it gets me thinking that, firstly, Satguru, it's a two-prong question. I'm very sorry if this is coming off as rude. But I'm curious. Do you ever think about your own, you know, your own moment in time? And secondly, how do you... My moment in time, I am fully sorted out on that. Completely sorted out. I don't have such a bother at all in life. Do you think about it at all? No, because I will decide that moment. I'm not thinking it'll happen like that to me. What are you waiting for? Why... You're asking why am I not dead? I've chosen it yet. Well, still the water is flowing. People around me are still thirsty to know and to grow. If they show a little boredom in front of me, I'll be gone. They better know that. Yes, that's how simple it is for me.  I'll be gone. Again, this is going to be a slightly rude question. I apologize to everyone here. You know, I see what you're trying to do. I've visited the ashram. I've come to Coimbatore. I've seen all the work that's going on. I've seen the energy of everyone. And there's a lot of good intent here, especially when it comes to the environment. Not a lot of good intent. Only good intent. There's only good intent here. And you have people in the world of politics, people in the world of media. I would even say the entire left-wing of the country. Always trying to pull you down. I feel those same people, there's pockets of it, which try to pull me down as well. And by the way, I'm called Genzi Sadguru. Which is like, I feel embarrassed. But you know, these kind of narratives are out there. So how do you perceive all that, sir? What do you make of that situation when you're trying to do so much good and people are misinterpreting you, they're trying to pull you down. Because I'm actually asking you this from my own perspective, if I could learn something. See, if you are very clear that what you're doing is significant for every life around you, other people's opinion means nothing. I'm saying for thirty years plus, they've been saying the same things.  All right, same things they are saying. But they've not gotten anywhere because they have no substance. There's no substance to anything that they have said. So it's unfortunate that they are in that state. But what I see is every daily mystic quote is there, you know, daily quote. All these people are just waiting. One thing that they don't understand, suddenly all of them will get together and make the twitter trend. I'm so glad because every day they're reading my quotes, even people who are here are not reading. They're reading, okay. I'm saying every day carefully they're reading my quote, the day they don't understand, they think I've made a mistake and boom, they'll go. I'm glad. I've worked in prisons, both in India and the United States. I've worked with hardcore criminals who have come for murder, rape, worst possible things that a man can do for those things they have come. And I've seen significant transformation in their lives simply because of two days or five days of contact with me. These guys who are continuously following me, I'm very confident one day they will be very transformed. I wish them the best. You know, it's not just about the opinions, I feel if you are in the middle of your own purpose, sometimes people will even… Yes, it unfortunately takes a certain amount of energy, time, resource to handle this. But see, they also enhance the message. Any publicity is good publicity. I don't think this is publicity. I've never looked for publicity. Actually, people may find this difficult to understand. I'm an extremely private person, really. I'm public because I consider all of them as part of myself, only in that sense. Otherwise I'm not public in any sense. So, it takes a certain amount of… you know, in your stride, a little bit of extra, it's like you're walking and somebody hangs onto your leg. You still have to walk. You walk, but they are lightweight. It's okay. I'm saying whatever they've been doing for twenty-five years, they're not able to prove one point and say, okay, this is actually happened. How long will people believe this kind of trash endlessly?  Many of them have started following us in a positive way. Many journalists who, from yellow magazines and stuff, who started this whole scandalous thing about us, today they're all devotees here, others will come. What do you think is that person's journey who has that much anger in their heart? See, some of them are genuinely angry because there is bitterness in them. From their own life? Yes. Lack of being significant in the world. This is not just about me. They're attacking sports people, they're attacking actors, they're attacking artists. Anybody who's successful, they're attacking them because they're anti-success. They want to succeed, but they must have failed repeatedly in their lives in everything that they do. Now anybody who is successful, they want to pull them down. Just tell me who's been spade, which arena of life has been spade. Politicians who are elected, they will pull them down. Sports persons who are very super successful, they pull them down. Spiritual people, of course, the thing is on, but they don't pull down all the spiritual people. If they're ineffective, if they're not a big success, they're not pulling them down, they're not disagreeing with them. All right? So they're essentially, you know, rankled by somebody's success, which shows lack of significance in their own life. I wish them success, so that they can relax and be positive about life. Sir, I'm very hopeful about India going forward as a country. I feel it'll be a change-maker in this world. They say that India is the spiritual capital of this earth. I don't know if that's true, I would like to believe it. A big aspect of being spiritual, I feel, is being loving. And we're seeing so much me versus you in this country, as not me versus you. Let's settle this.  Isn't it about spreading love? Then get a dog. Then dogs are really spiritual. Dogs are very loving, come on. I mean, is it? Tell me, yes or no? Yes, sir. They're very loving. So they're all spiritual? I don't know.  Please don't do that. But, sir, how do we get the country united? Because I feel that repeatedly our country has been invaded and affected and brought down because of this whole divide and rule policy. People caught on to the fact that we play a lot of me versus you. So again, for the next 20, 30 years, how do we work on that aspect of unity to build businesses, to build movements, to save soil, to help the environment? Because I feel that we've been given a gift to be born in this country and we're not valuing it enough as a unit. And there's too much ego, there's too much anger, there's too much hate, especially post the pandemic. So what's your advice here? So, yeah, don't judge the whole country by looking at a television screen or a social media platform. No, just walk around here. Just walk around in this village or in the city. You don't find anybody in anger. You don't find anybody beating up somebody, do you? No. No such thing happening. Some incidents happen, 1.3 billion people. Some incidents here and there happen, unfortunately. Lives are lost, injuries have been caused to other people, which definitely needs to be dealt with. There is no one way to deal with that. There is law enforcement, there is a certain sense of harmony in the society. All these things matter. These are not overnight jobs. This is something we need to strive for. As you said, history, historically, we've gone through a whole rigour of invasions, worst kind of invasions. We've not documented it very well as other cultures have, but we have gone through and taken a beating that very few populations in the world have taken, most cruel kind of battering we have taken. But we're still not bitter. That is what is beautiful about us.  But we are not bitter. That is a great thing, okay? We are not bitter. Yesterday what happened for that, we are not bitter. But making sure that doesn't happen again to us tomorrow is also equally a responsible thing to do. For which we are building a strong nation right now. We should have done it sooner. It's 75 years now. But we are doing it a little slow, but for the size of the country and the diversity of the nation that we are, I think we are doing well. Do you think fiction, films, stories are a good way to unite the country because that's my only hope, honestly. Or sport, that's the other one. Similarly, we must use every means. I do not ascribe to this that this is the way. Everything that we do, we must see how people can transcend the smallness of their boundaries and see at least if not boundless, at least a larger boundary which includes most people. So if you don't strive for that, your life will naturally be constantly in conflict with something or the other. For the well-being of the individual and the well-being of the society and the nation, it's very important that there is a larger identity with which we can move forward. It is happening. It is just that it's not being projected well. Day after the pandemic, you mentioned the pandemic, it was a serious hit, okay? Especially in a country like ours, the economic cost has been so serious, most people don't understand. I am in huge appreciation of the lowest level from the lowest level of worker. What I have seen is from a police constable, from a village official to panchayat leaders and even political leaders and right up to the state governments and central government, what they have done in these two years, I bow down to them. You can go on picking what didn't go well. But in a country like ours where infrastructure is so minimal, the way we have delivered the vaccine solution and the way we have taken care of people, there have been aberrations but such a large country with such little infrastructure, country like United States with such massive infrastructure and such massive amount of fund, see they are still shaking, still shaking.  Every one of us must be in absolute gratitude because we don't know who did what. From the doctors, nurses, small police constables, everybody strived to manage this. It's not a small thing. It is not a small thing. 1.3 billion people, this person speaks one language, that person speaks another language, dozens of languages, you can't communicate in one language to everybody how to communicate a message, how to make them behave responsibly, how to even wear a mask.  They think it's like a driving license. When I ask them, where is your mask, you're coming so close. They say, I got it, Sadhguru, I got it in my pocket. Here in my hip pocket, I said it doesn't work on your bum, you got to have it on your nose. I'm saying I'm saying in this kind of country to effectively manage a pandemic and come out of it successfully and having a thriving economy as we're having right now, is not a small thing. So with this, it's not just one Prime Minister, one Chief Minister, one somebody. Everybody has strived, isn't it? From the smallest man to the biggest man, everybody has strived. Let us not go on giving endless negative commentary, appreciate the nation. If you can't appreciate the administration, appreciate the nation. We've bounced back, right? It's not a small thing. So maybe I can ask you unlimited questions more, but I know like, you know, time is tight. I have to ask you about the 30,000 kilometer bike ride you're doing, which I find fascinating. There's someone called Wim Hof. They call him the Iceman. He uses Pranayaman aspects of yoga to basically deal with freezing temperatures. And I think the world notices Wim Hof and his abilities and often they overlook all of India's yogic leaders for their yogic abilities. I know Wim Hofs well. I've been in conversations with him, but I won't do any such tweets. I mean, sir, but 30,000 kilometers is no 100 kilometers starts hurting your back. I can't imagine what 30,000 kilometers is like on a bike. I've had for a yogic back. How's that? What's your opinion on pain with respect to the journey in front of you and generally pain as a concept? Pain is not a concept. If you don't know that it's not a concept, I can cost some pain to you. You will know it's not a concept. It's a living reality when you get it. Hello? Can pain be controlled by the mind? See, pain is of the body. See, suppose this water is hardly 9 inches deep, all right? 9-10 inches deep. But you want to dive from the top of the tree. If there was no pain, you would have done it. Yes? If it breaks your head and still there is no pain, a whole lot of people would have done it. Right now, the only thing which is making you behave sensibly, at least in terms of your survival is pain. Without pain, most people would not know how to survive either. So pain is a very good thing. It manages you. Even emotional pain? That you cause. Because you want to be a tragic hero. Me? No. See, there is only physical pain as existentially true. Pain that you have in your mind and in your emotion is caused by you. You like to poke yourself. Why? Because you're a way in life you have not found any other way to feel profound. Pain makes you feel profound. You're from Mumbai, cinema world I'm saying. Without pain. No profoundness, isn't it? No artistry. See, people think they're profound because they're in pain. No, you're misunderstanding pain for profoundness. It's a serious mistake. If it comes in loads, then you will know what it is, all right?  It'll mutilate life. Pain, yes or no? Human beings have been destroyed not necessarily by a sword or a gun. They just break themselves down into pieces because of their own emotions and thoughts. More people are mutilating themselves by themselves using the sharpness of their own mind rather than by somebody's sword or gun, isn't it so? Why is this so? Because you have misunderstood a few fundamental things. You do not know what is real and what is not. What is existentially true what is physiologically true what is psychologically true you have lost. You know, the boundaries of this.  Just tell me one thing people are not suffering tell me one thing well, if they are poor they suffer their poverty you make them rich, they suffer the taxes. Yes if they're not educated they suffer that. Put them to school they suffer that.  You do not know how to manage then everything becomes suffering. Physical pain is a different thing physical pain is caused by some contact or disease or injury or something that of course we must see how we keep it at the minimum in our life mosquito bites you alright but you don't have to be bitten by a bear you need to avoid that why are you taking on the pain of the bike ride ah you're assuming that it's painful it is it is risky not painful risky one thing is I'm riding in the winter European winter northern European winter where it's snowing probably roads are icy being on two wheels on an icy road is not a joke it's risky. Then I am coming into Arabia where temperatures are anywhere between 38 to 40 degrees I could melt away there like snow then I'm entering India in the peak of Indian monsoons why someone like me I can live a good life I can live a very comfortable life because wherever I go people will take care of me any part of the world what is my most exotic place you can think of if I say I want to live in the Alps mountain people will set up a home for me I don't have to have a dollar in my pocket if I say I want to live in Himalayas somebody will set up a wonderful place for me if I say I want to live in the ocean somebody will get a big yacht for me I'm telling you I can live very well and very comfortably why am I doing this because I want all of you young people to understand don't do this now we will regret seriously and your generation Z label may come true for half the population at least if not for the whole population for half the population it may come true wherever you put me because I never sought comfort I've slept in the jungles I've slept on the trees I've been head to toe by insects you know when I came back after two three weeks of being in the forest people wouldn't recognize me because head to toe insect bites you can't recognize me it's all like this my face but I didn't suffer so I've never sought comfort so I never suffered but I've lived an extremely engaging and intense life and my experience of life is in a way that I will not exchange this for anything in the universe you give me anything if you give me a mountain of gold I will not exchange this just now I was in United States in Los Angeles this guy comes and he wants to meet me and he has a presentation to make I said what is it about he said something about our online properties he wants to make a presentation I said okay let me see what it is then he comes with the presentation and shows what all is on YouTube all these things, channels and platforms and all these calculations he makes and shows Sadhguru, if you allow me I can package all this material and in today's value it is worth about 2.7 billion dollars I can package this for you and get you that kind of money in the next few years I said what do I do with 2.7 billion dollars get me 8 billion people that's what I'm looking for right now for safe soil movement just get me 3.5 billion people the job will be done if you get me 25 million earth buddies I'll take you on a ride or ride on the motorcycle your back won't break, believe me challenge accepted Sadhguru, thank you maybe just one last selfish selfish question because I don't get this opportunity all the time do you have any last piece of advice for me that you were trying to do through this show I know you've kind of got a gist of it through the questions but just any last piece of advice for my team and myself See, every generation is remembered for things they do right? See, right now after 15,000 years we're still talking about Adiyogi why, you think because he was tall or handsome or something because of the offerings that he made to us which is still relevant to us, isn't it? you remember a human being through history either he did something terrible then you remember him in a wrong way or they did something with which our lives are still benefitting as a generation we have this opportunity this is a one-time opportunity in the next 10 to 15 years time if we bring about the policy change now in the next one or two years and it'll naturally take effect in next 10 to 15 years time we will be remembered as a generation who turned the planet around it was going, sliding down to a you know, disastrous place and we turned it around we will be remembered for that you don't have to remember me because I don't care whether you remember we are not people ask me, Sadhguru what is your time? how would you like people to remember you? I said if they are only thinking about me obviously they're living bad lives all right? if they forget me the moment I'm dead that means my work is successful they're doing well they're doing great you always think it is ungratefulness which makes people forget no, it's joy which makes people forget you know like a very wise you know she she had two of her twin girls she got them married they went in different directions on their honeymoon one girl who was a very loving, wonderful girl never sent a message never wrote nothing two months, no message from her the other girl every other day she was sending messages wanting to call and talk to the mother and she came and asked how are you girls doing she said about the other girl who never sent a message one is doing really fine, other seems to be having some trouble with her husband okay one who is happy doesn't turn back one who is really going straight and fast won't look in the rear view mirror right? so I don't want to be remembered this is possible as a generation say for example today in this country we always talk about the freedom movement, all right that generation which fought for this nation maybe if you were there you would have also fought that's a different matter but you were not there somebody fought we will always remember them isn't it always remember them 75 years we still remember them I'm telling you even if it's 500 years later we will still remember the people who fought for this nation yes or no similarly right now the facts are not all out yet we will bring this out in many ways in how many ways we are at the point of disaster but we have the opportunity to turn around you don't have to go and fix the soil you just have to make your voice loud and clear that enough people enough people means 60% of the world's electorate must speak 3.5 billion people speak of soil for 100 days from March 21st to 100 days do this I will make sure every government in the world will bring soil related policies into their policy system I will do this because I am fully organized with that UN agencies are with us I'm speaking at the COP 15 in Ivory Coast addressing 170 nations we will do this but people need to be there if people don't care why will the government do anything because the government is there only to manifest people's mandate isn't it if people's mandate is not about these concerns they will not manifest that that is the responsibility that you have use your wi-fi and little bit of your brains it helps Thank you sir Namaskaram bow down to you and just thank you for the opportunity one second


7th problem, the heat engine X operates between reservoir at 1000 degrees centigrade. So, 1000 and we will say add 273, so 1000, 273 Kelvin and a body A. So, this is the heat engine X and a body A at 600, that is, this is in 873 Kelvin, okay. Heat transfer to the engine is 1000 kilojoules and the work output of this is 220 kilojoules. Another engine Y, okay, operates between body A, that means this is Y here, operates between body A and atmosphere at 27 degrees, 27 means 300 Kelvin, this is atmosphere, so this is rejecting heat here. Heat rejected by Y to the atmosphere is 400 kilojoules, that is given, okay. And this does some work, I will say this is W Y, okay. And I will say this is Q C X and this is Q H Y, okay. The body A maintains its temperature steadily at 600 degrees centigrade, that is 800 Kelvin, it maintains steadily, that means the heat, how can it maintain, this is the body, a finite mass and heat capacity, so some heat is coming in, so temperature will tend to rise, some heat is rejected by this or received by Y, that means the temperature will increase and decrease, correct. Now, if the heat transfer to the block or body A and the heat transfer from the body A if they are equal, then only the temperature can be, it is 73 Kelvin or 600 degrees centigrade. And this body has heat interactions only with the two engines, okay. Now, you can say that that may be some heat addition. So, if for example, if the heat given to the engine and taken by Y, okay, given from the engine X and taken by the engine Y, they are different, the rest can be from the atmosphere, but it is clearly given that the heat interaction for the body A is only with the engines X and Y. So, calculate the work output and thermal efficiency of, that is I want to calculate W Y and thermal efficiency of Y, which is equal to W Y divided by Q H Y. These are the two things I want to calculate. Compare the efficiency with the Carnot cycle, operate with the same heat source and sink, that we can do. For, see, compare the efficiency of Y with the Carnot cycle, Carnot cycle operating between 873 and 300, we can calculate and do it. So, this is the given data here. So, let us say for X, W equal to Q H X minus Q C X. So, this is 200 W X. So, 220 is given. 220 equal to 1000 minus Q C X or I can say Q C X equal to 780 kilo joules, that is God. Now, since the body A maintains its temperature at 600 degree centigrade or 87 degree Kelvin, only by interacting with the engines X and Y, the heat interaction between the engines X and rejected by X has to be transferred to Y. So, I can say Q H Y should be equal to Q C X equal to 780 kilo joules. So, that is done. So, we can easily calculate the, so this is the important point here. So, the body A, which is interacting only with X and Y and maintaining its temperature at 600 degrees, it is possible, only when the heat received by A should be rejected by A, that is, received by A from X should be rejected by A to Y. This is the important key. So, once you know this, then I can write this statement, Q H Y equal to Q C X. So, without that, we cannot solve this problem. So, what happens now? Q C Y is given here, Q C Y is given as 400 kilo joules. So, that implies W Y will be equal to 780, sorry, I will write first, Q H Y minus Q C Y equal to 780 minus 400 equal to 380 kilo joules. So, that is the work. First one is work, then thermal efficiency. Second is thermal efficiency of Y will be equal to what? I will write in the next page. Thermal efficiency of Y will be equal to W Y divided by Q H Y. So, that is equal to 380, 380 divided by 780 equal to 0.4871. Now, for a Carnot cycle operating between these two temperatures, that is what? 873 Kelvin and the ambient temperature of 300 Kelvin, the efficiency of Carnot can be found as 1 minus 300 by 873, which is equal to 0.670 kilo joules. So, that is equal to 6563. So, now we, so it is clear that the efficiency of the real cycle, real or reversible cycle is less than that of the Carnot cycle. So, here, if you find the Carnot efficiency to be lesser than what you get here in the actual cycle, then the cycle is not possible. Please understand this, okay. So, the efficiency of the cycle can match. So, for example, Carnot cycle efficiency also can be 0.4871, then it is fine. All it is, it can be greater, like 0.6563, it is fine. But Carnot efficiency cannot be 0.45. Then the cycle, what we have worked on will be impossible, okay. So, that is very important to understand. So, all the reversible cycles will have more efficiency than the corresponding irreversible cycles operating between the same temperature, source and sink temperatures. That is what is in this problem. So, you can see that these are problems where the engines are connected in series and there is an intermediate source or sink, okay. So, for example, for x, the body A becomes sink and for y, the body A becomes source. Now, different heat transfers, the QGX and QHY can be different. In that case, if this is, A is not a reservoir here, please understand that if A is a reservoir, that means it has huge thermal capacity, mass into specific heat, then the temperature will not change. But if A is a finite body, like a body, if you say it is a finite body of finite mass and thermal capacity, then the heat transfer from the engine X will tend to increase the temperature of A and the heat rejected by A to engine Y will cause the temperature to decrease. So, that is the important point to find here. So, this 1000, 2000 degrees, that is 1000 degrees and the ambient are infinite temperature reservoirs. Infinite temperature, that means that the thermal capacity is very high, the temperature will not change by the heat transfer given to X or heat transfer from Y to the ambient. But on the other hand, for a finite body, which has a smaller mass and a specific heat, then the corresponding heat transfers to the body will tend to increase the temperature of the body or from the body will tend to decrease. In this case, it is clearly given that the body interacts only with X and Y as well as its temperature is maintained constant. That is possible only when the heat received by the body from X is equal to the heat rejected by the body to Y. So, this is very important to understand. Then only we can write that Q Hy equal to Q C X. So, if A is a reservoir, then this need not be true. Like we cannot say that Q C X should be equal to Q Hy become a different. Like in the previous problem here, this may be a single reservoir. So, we can see that the heat rejected by the engine Q C E and heat taken by the heat pump Q C P, they are different. Not only they are different, that is two times this, this is possible. So, the eighth problem, a house is to be maintained at 27 degrees centigrade when the outside ambient temperature is 5 degrees. So, it will be maintained. That means 300 Kelvin. Ambient temperature is 5 degrees. That is 278 Kelvin. Now, so we can see this. This is a space which has to be maintained at 300 Kelvin here and ambient is 278 Kelvin. Two methods or strategies are considered here. Two strategies which are, first one is operate a space heater. So, in the room put a space heater at 1 kilowatt power and operate it for 1 hour. That means, see, what is the heater? It has some coils and electric current passes through that, it becomes hotter and that will heat. So, the capacity or the power supplied to the heater is 1 kilowatt and it is operated for 1 hour. That is one. So, normally which we use. Second is supply is the same work. That is 1 kilowatt work to a reversible heat pump. Reversible heat pump. That means, I will say there is a reversible heat pump which will receive Q C P and reject to the room, that is Q H P to maintain the temperature 300. Now, this obviously will receive W H P which is equal to 1 kilowatt. That is what, because same power. Now, this is also, the technique again, if you do this, what will be the, we want to know what will be the heat rejected to the room by this heat pump. So, supply is the same work that is W H P to a reversible heat pump that operates between ambient and house, like this. In each case, determine the amount of heat that has been transferred to the house. So, this is the problem. So, how to do this? First is, cold temperature reservoir is at minus 5 degrees centigrade. So, minus 5 degrees. So, that is actually 268 minus 5. It is minus here. Minus 50. That is 268 Kelvin. And ambient temperature, which is, sorry, the room temperature, I will say T R will be at 27 degrees centigrade equal to 300 Kelvin. So, this is, T C is ambient temperature. Now, this is what is given. So, first the, when you operate the space heater, okay, so, when 1 kilowatt heater is operated for 1 hour, the amount of heat transferred to the room, room is how much? 1 kilowatt into 3600 Kelvin. So, this is the amount of heat transferred per 100 seconds, or I can say 1 kilo joule per second into 3600 seconds, which is equal to 3600 kilo joules. That is the amount of heat which is transferred. So, what is the work supplied? 1 kilowatt is the work supplied. And for operating 1 hour, 3600 kilo joules has been supplied. So, that will be the heat which is supplied. What is C O P for this C O P? In this case, it will be equal to, again, the, whatever you supply as work has resulted as the heat supplied to the room. You have to consider the system properly. System which actually has the coils of the heater excluded, that will give you the delta T. So, based upon temperature difference. So, here it will be 3600 divided by 3600, which is equal to 1. So, C O P will be 1 in this case. First case where you consider the space heater at 1 kilowatt operating for 1 hour. The B, this case, the, when you find use a divisible heat pump. So, in this case, C O P will be equal to, I will say heat pump will be equal to T H divided by T, because reversible, correct? T H minus T C, since reversible. Now, that will be equal to what? That will be equal to 300 divided by, so how we get this basically is because C O P of the heat pump will be equal to Q H P divided by W H P, correct? Or we can say Q H P divided by Q C P, sorry Q H P minus Q C P. So, now I can write this as 1 divided by 1 minus Q C P divided by Q H P or I can say 1 divided by 1 minus T C by T H. So, that is what I am getting here. So, T H is 300 and this is 268. So, that will be 9.375. So, compare this. For, if you just use the space heater, you are supplying work of 1 kilowatt for 1, 1 kilowatt work for 1 hour. So, what is the work supplied? 1 kilowatt, that is 1 kilo joule per second into 3600 again. So, that is getting transferred as the heat to the room, that is it. Now, if you consider this heat pump, which works in a thermodynamic cycle, it has a C O P of 9.373. So, which is about more than 9 times. Now, what is the heat supplied for the same amount of work transfer? That is 1 kilowatt. What will be the, so 1 kilowatt means what? That is for 1 hour. So, I will say 1 kilowatt into 1 hour. So, which is equal to 3600 kilo joules, the Q H. So, here what is the heat supplied to the room? That is Q H P, correct? So, Q H P will be equal to C O P into W, because C O P equal to Q H P, sorry, Q H P divided by W. So, this means, since this is correct, so this means C O P is what? 9.375 into 3600, which will be equal to 33750 kilo joules. So, when you just put the heat, heater, based upon its power rating, if it is 1 kilowatt running for 1 hour, 3600 kilo joules of work is supplied and same amount of heat also will be supplied. Assuming there is no heat loss, obviously heat loss should be there, not be there in the case where you operate the reversible heat engine also. Now, in the case of heat pump, your C O P is about 9 times more, more than 9 times. So, that means, you are supplying 9.375 times the heat which is supplied in case of the space heater. So, obviously, the better method or a better thing to do is to run a heat pump. Okay, one more point is, this is reversible heat pump, which we have considered here, so the C O P is very high. But even if you use a heat pump, which is basically not ideal or not reversible, then also C O P of the heat pump can be, say, 3 or 4. Even in that case, you are getting 3 to 4 times the heat which is transferred with the help of a space heater. Okay, so always it is better to do a, run a heat pump and do the heating of the room instead of just using a space heater. A small room, it is fine. For bigger room or if you want to maintain this, this is a one-hour, it is fine. If you want to maintain this for several, like several hours or 24 by 7, then base upon the temperature of the ambient, etcetera, proper heat pump should be chosen and the room should be heated.


The way we communicate with people around us says a lot about us and to a large extent determining the opportunities that come our way daily. As an entrepreneur, you'll meet a lot of people, communicate with them and do business with them. However, the extent to which you'll succeed depends on how active your communication is, whether verbal, written or buddy language. Communication is one of the most important parts necessary for running a business. At some point, you'll need to communicate with investors, your customers, your team members or employees, etc. To do an excellent job however, you need to learn how best to communicate. In this video, I'll share with you 7 communication skills every entrepreneur needs. If you're new here, consider subscribing so that you don't miss out on exciting videos like this. 1. Identify Buddy Language I'm assuming you've heard about the importance of paying attention to the nonverbal part of communication times without number. The real question however is, how much attention do you pay to yours? The truth is that not only will people judge you and your business by the things you write and present, but also by your look, even without speaking. They'll judge you by your posture, appearance, handshake and dozens of other signals that are processed unconsciously. How do I know this? We all do it. For instance, haven't you ever met a person before and said something like, oh, he didn't look professional. I'm not sure I wanted a business with you. You see, that's human behavior. We tend to judge people's unspoken actions way before we listen to what they have to say. So it is essential to learn how to pass across the right message without even saying it. As an entrepreneur, it is important to master your nonverbal language so that you can get your message across in the right way. Find a room when you want to, persuade and mark it to others efficiently and much more. For instance, looking into others' eyes while communicating indicates confidence. Sitting or standing straight shows that your attentive to the discussion, keeping your hands out of your pocket suggests respect. One UCLA study suggested as much as 55% of the meaning in face-to-face interactions is conveyed nonverbally. So not only should you work on analyzing some specific cues like posture and the likes, but also work on practicing awareness of your body language. Mastering body language can allow you to command a room. Two, listen deeply. As important as this communication skill, listening is. Most of us struggle with it. Sometimes it's not because we are uninterested in what the other party has to say, but there are a thousand and one distractions around us. For instance, our cell phone. Sometimes we're either superimposing a meaning on what's being said before or we allow others to finish or are too busy preparing the perfect response. We fail to listen deeply enough to figure out what the actual problem might be. The result of not being able to decipher the real problem is that we will be unable to provide the best solution to deal with it. Think of it this way. As an entrepreneur, your work is to figure out one of the many problems of the people around your community and offer the best solution possible. However, if you don't listen deeply enough to figure out the exact problem, how will you come up with the best solution? Active listening, really listening to and trying to understand what another person is communicating to you will help you pick up on current or potential problems earlier on. Make a gate risk, build relationships, resolve conflicts, lead a team, mediate issues, negotiate with others, etc. In dealing with your customers, you'll need to learn how to listen deeply to their comments and feedback about your product or service. You'll also need to listen and understand what your investors and employees want from you. Studies suggest our daily communication breakdown is as follows. 9% writing, 16% reading, 30% speaking, 45% listening. To help improve your speaking skills, try to focus on the person speaking and then do a verbal summary of what they said afterward to be sure that you are on the same page. 3. Manage expectations. Have you ever heard the business slogan, on the promise and over deliver? Well, that's what it means to manage people's expectations. As an entrepreneur, you most likely be under pressure because you'll have many people asking you for a significant accomplishment within the shortest period. What this means is that you'll have deliverables and timeframes and everyone will be expecting results. So it is crucial to learn to communicate and provide necessary feedback from time to time, especially when issues arise. Also, take note of this. It's always better to commit to less than raise people's expectations and fail to follow through. 4. Know why you're communicating. Most times, we focus mainly on how to make a presentation or give a speech. We spend our time and direct our energy towards sounding smart so that we can deliver the best speech ever while neglecting the essence of the speech. In the end, even if you end up sounding smarter than the smartest person ever, there'll be no takeout from the entire speech. So, before every communication, whether it is with investors, customers, prospective clients, employees or teammates, etc., you must find and establish what you want people to take away. What actions should they take afterward? What's the call to action of your speech? Ask yourself why you're communicating with the people involved. How do you want them to feel about your brand afterwards? What steps should they take after hearing you talk or reading your email? Answering these questions will help communicate effectively. 5. Learn how to write. An essential part of communication is reading words. Much of the communication business is done via writing, whether through emails, in reports, in letters, in blogs and articles, in books, on text messages, on social media posts, or in other relevant formats. You don't have to be a perfect writer, but you must learn to be more direct and concise in reading form. It is also important to learn how to minimize errors so that you have fewer chances of people misinterpreting your words. The truth is that your writing skill can sometimes determine whether people will want to discuss with you or not. So as much as possible, be clear and professional. 6. Be empathetic. Emotional awareness in communication can't be overemphasized. It is the ability to recognize and understand feelings. If you are wondering why you need to understand people's feelings or opinions, well, it will help you communicate with your colleagues, customers or employees better. Even when you disagree with them, you'll still respect them because you understand how they feel about the issue. Empathy helps you consider other people's feelings in yours. Recognize misunderstandings, build trusting relationships, learn to apologize when necessary, etc. 7. Be concise and clear. What it means to be clear and concise is to say what you mean without saying too much, too little, or over-complicating things. So whether you are speaking directly to people, over the phone, their email, text message, etc. It is essential to be concise in your communication. When you spend too much time talking about an issue, you begin to confuse people, which can be a turn of for them. You also don't want to sound unsure of yourself or your business. So here's the thing, you don't need to talk so fast but get to the point quickly enough to avoid misunderstanding. So whether you are writing an email, a report or even preparing for the most prominent investor peach of your life, you need to follow the same structure, figure out your goal, your key points and the way you are going to deliver those points in a sharp and focused way. Focus on communicating the value you are bringing to the table and your unique selling points. Also, build your ability to share it in different contexts confidently. Practice boiling that proposition down to no more than two to three sentences. That is what it means to be clear and concise. Thank you very much for watching our videos.

Remember a Hallmark card when you carry enough to send the very best. Tonight from Hollywood, the makers of Hallmark Reading Cards bring you David Niven in Lorna Doome on the Hallmark Playhouse. This week Hallmark brings you Hollywood's greatest stars in outstanding stories chosen by one of the world's best known authors. They distinguish novelist Mr. James Hilton. Ladies and gentlemen, this is James Hilton. Tonight on our Hallmark Playhouse we dramatize the great novel Lorna Doome by the English writer Richard Blackmore. Lorna Doome was written over 80 years ago and was an immediate success, not only establishing its author's reputation, but beginning a popularity which has lasted to this day. It isn't hard to see why this story proved so attractive. It's full of open air freshness and the spirit of adventure. Indeed its hero and heroine have proved so memorable that nowadays the places where they lived in fiction are linked with their names for countless visiting tourists. Lorna Doome is certainly one of the romantic. The Doome Valley, or Exmoor as you will find it written on the English maps, is one of the loveliest spots on earth. To stars our hero and Lorna's hero, we are fortunate indeed to have with us that fine actor David Niven. And now here is Frank Goss from the makers of Hallmark cards. When you're looking for a way to say something to someone you care for, look for a Hallmark card and you'll find the card you want to send.  That's why Hallmark on the back of a greeting card has come to mean you cared enough to send the very best. And now here is the first act of Richard Blackmore's Lorna Doome, starring David Niven. Picture a strange valley, dark in the deaf and twilight, Glen Doome it's called, and legend tells how the Doome family, a band of outlaws, in revenge for wrongs done by the government, lived by plundering the countryside, always retreating afterwards to the valley where no outsider dare venture. It is John Rid who tells our story. John Rid, who fell in love with the mysterious, the lovely Lorna Doome. How can I tell you about Lorna? Except to say that I've loved her all the days of my life. Since time began it seems. Perhaps my story rightfully begins when I was 12, and I was suddenly called home from school. How I look forward to seeing my father. But when I arrived home, I was greeted only by my mother's tears.  Oh no, killed by those cabbages, killed by the Doome. I am my father's only son. It is my duty to avenge you.  Perhaps when you are a man. But not now, my son. Not now. The old feels more like a man than many a 30-year-old. So I headed for the valley no man of our community had ever visited, Glen Doome. I knew only one entrance, behind the whirlpool and waterfall of bag-worthy stream, through the blackness of bag-worthy wood, where each tree seemed to loom like a giant in the eyes of a 12-year-old. Painfully, I climbed the rocky steps of the waterfall, the ragged edges tore at my bare feet, and when at last I reached the top, I sank down exhausted. Please don't be dead. I'll open your eyes. Now try to be better, won't you? Who are you? I bow your feet of bleeding. Here, I'll tie them up for you with pieces of my dress. Thank you. I've never seen anybody like you before. My name is John Redd. What's yours? Lorna. What is your last name, Lorna? Doome. Do you hate me because of that? No, Lorna Doome. How could I hate you? Go. Go quickly.  Please go. And take very good care of your feet, please. John Redd. When I was 22, I never visited Glendoon again. But a boy's heart heard the wind whisper her name from the depths of that strange valley. Though she belonged to the family of my enemies, I must see her again. Great rocky slide of bag-worthy falls was still dark and difficult to climb. The water, which long ago touched my knees, now was satisfied with my ankles. When I reached the top, she was standing there, almost as if she had been waiting for me. Hello.  As if I'd seen you every day of these long years. Of course. The boy who cut his feet so on the rocks. How are your feet, Master John? Your smile and your kindness and the tears in your eyes cured them in an instant. I remember. But you do not seem to remember, sir, how dangerous it is for you to be here. Tell me. Please tell me, Mrs. Doome, why there is such terror in your eyes when you glance back towards Glendoon. I'm afraid because I am a Doome. And there is no one to teach me what is right.  I have no remembrance of mother or father. Although they say my father was the eldest son of Sir Ensa Doome, who rules this tribe of Robbers. I have heard of Sir Ensa Doome. Is he not an old man? A very old man. And when he dies, they say I shall be queen of this valley of violence. Let me take you away. Oh, Master John, read how bravely you speak. I must go quickly. No. Never come back. Or I'm too married to Carva Doome. To Carva Doome? You have heard of him too, Master John. For he has a reputation as the fiercest of all the Dooms. Oh, I beg you, someone is coming. Return to your sunny, outside world. And forget you ever heard the name of Lorna Doome. I scrambled down the rocky defile, back to the outside world. But I carried with me the look in her eyes. I carried with me the feel of the air between us. I brought back from Glen Doome the knowledge that I was in love. And the whole valley beneath me echoed like a great bell. Doome! Doome! Lorne Doome! These times we met, in starlight and sunlight, in the cool, watery silence behind bag where he falls. Each time Lorna begged me never to return again. She might just as well have asked me not to return to light, to air, to life. But then, one day she led me by the hand in the direction of Glen Doome. Where are we going? To see my grandfather. Sir Ensa Doome? He's dying. He wishes to speak to you. I had his promise. No one will harm him. Why does he want to see me? Because I've told him I could never marry Carva. Because I'm a love of Master John Rift. Oh, Lorna! Lorna led me past a dozen silent men, standing as motionless as great trees and into a low hut. The room was cold and dark with only two sputtering candles. Then I saw him, the oldest man I have ever seen, stern and silent, with death in his face. He sat upright in a chair with a loose red cloak thrown over him. On this his white hair fell and his pallid fingers seemed like yellowed marble.  Do you know what you have been doing, John Ridd? Do you have sense enough to realize? I know I've set my eyes far above my rank. Oh, she is a doom! Sir, the Ridds have been honest men twice as long as the doers have been roped. We have taken only what has been taken from us. Such as my father's life.  I am too old to shout, too old. I wish to die.  Grandfather! I forbid you ever to see this child again. Sir, I will not listen to you. Then you will promise, Lorna, child. Swear, swear, for I am so weary. The words are as knives in my mouth. Sir, we will not swear. Lorna will not, and I will not. Must I tell you? Will you force me to tell you? Tell us what, Grandfather? It was your father who killed John Ridd's father, Lorna. Oh, no! It was his father who killed yours at the same instant. Do you wish a double curse always over your heads? And as if in a terrible dream, we knew. Sir Ensa Dune was dead, and the head of this tribe of robbers was now my beloved, my Lorna Dune. We'll return to the second act of Lorna Dune, starring David Niven. You know, thoughtfulness and kindness are acquired habits. If you've ever been around when a child first starts learning how to share with a playmate, you'll know what I mean. Even after we're grown, most of us appreciate having special days to remind us to be thoughtful. That's why so many parents and educators have expressed appreciation of the new Hallmark Maybaskets. They offer a wonderful opportunity to teach children thoughtfulness. When the classes are having a Maybasket project, the children make and distribute Maybaskets filled with flowers or bits of candy to veterans hospitals, children's hospitals, or adult shut-ins. And they're thoroughly enjoying this because the Hallmark Maybaskets are so beautiful, they serve as inspiration for all forms of generosity. When you see how the children enjoy making and giving Hallmark Maybaskets, you'll want several packages for your own children. With only 50 cents for a package of five different designs, you can easily do so. Stop in tomorrow and ask to see the new Hallmark Maybaskets. And say, fathers, can you think of a nicer suggestion than for the children to make and give a Maybasket to mother on Mother's Day? Now back to James Hilton and the second act of Lorna Dune, starring David Niven. I'm the black whirlpool of Bagworthy Stream. In a wilderness of rocks and crags lies Glen Dune. The outside world is Devon. The fairest county in England. A world of woodland and green grass and orchards full of content. But those rocks and crags are the portals of the unknown. And it is there that Lorna Dune beckons us. A symbol, perhaps, of the unattainable in all of our lives. The lovely Lorna Dune. Summer faded into fall and then winter was upon us. This was the winter my greatest sorrow, for I did not see my Lorna. Perhaps you have read of that winter. The snows higher than a man's eye, the streams frozen, the trees cracked from the great frost. Nature conspired it seemed to carry out the old man's dying wish that we be apart. My son, it does no good to stare out of the window. Go to her.  You know? You know about Lorna? Mothers are not so unaware of what goes on in their children's heart. Oh, Mother, what shall I do? You must stop tossing and turning at night and shouting her name as if some great guilt hung on your heart. But, Mother, oh, how can I tell you? It was her father who killed my father. Old Ensa Dune told us this just before he died. Would you not hate Lorna for this? All the days of her life?  Our family Bible says, love your enemy. Bring her here to our farm. All the dunes will follow. Carva Dune is a savage. Our lives will be in danger. Come here. Take my hands. Do you see fear in my eyes? No, Mother. I believe that miracles happen to people who are in love. So I set off across the ice-grip moors toward my love. I dug my way through drifts. I scaled the frozen heights of bag-worthy falls, hacking stairs from the silent solid stream of ice. Then I stood again, a speck of black against the white emptiness of Glen Dune. I searched through the empty streets of their village like a man in a dream, walking through a land of the dead. At last I came to the house I knew was Lorna's. Lorna? Lorna is John. John Redd. Lorna! Lorna! What have they done to you? Run off to the caves in the hills and left me here to starve. Oh, my darling. Because I said I would not be the leader of their tribe, as long as they robbed and killed. And they tried to force me to... To marry Caradou? I wished to die, John, for I thought that you had forgotten about me. I've come to take you home. Home? Home. Don't think I've ever known what it means. You shall, my darling. You shall see what it means. I still speak of how I kidnapped the most beautiful of the dunes and brought her to my mother's house. Down the icy stairs of bag-weather falls I carried her in my arms. In our home before the roaring fire, we gave her food and warmth and love. But then a shadow fell across the snow.  The guns of the dunes are pointed at every corner of your house. Carver? Oh, John, it's Carver, dude. At the wink of an eye, we can set your farm blazing. Let him shout himself out. Before the rain. Oh, John, I must go back to Glendon. No, Lorna, you will not go back. There's one way they can never take you away from me. At dawn tomorrow we shall not be here, but standing side by side before passing Bowden in the parish church. The company here assembled, I pronounce you, man and wife. She turned to me. And from the depths of her eyes she said, I love you. Such soft eyes, such loving eyes, smiling yet with a touch of happy tears. And then the gunshot rang through the church and those eyes were filled with death. I remember the things that happened to them in great moments of crisis. I recall it only as a hazy and terrible dream. I cannot tell you what I did or felt or thought when I saw Lorna lying at my feet. They are something ridiculous like what day it was, what month of the year. Then I placed my wife in my mother's arms and went forth to my revenge. Headed across the windswept fields towards a giant figure. Carvedoom. Up on his earth another hour together. I sprang forward knowing that this man had killed everything in the world I loved. My strength was a minute I had him helpless on the ground. He'll kill me. Why shouldn't I? Before you, why have you done this thing? Princess, from the day we kidnapped her as a child, she was our princess. Kidnapped her? Then she's not a dude. What difference does it make? She's not really a dude. Tell me! The did not kill my man. For this news I'll let you go, Carvedoom. Go. And thank God I'm not as vicious as you.  You poor fool! He was looking back, taunting me, and he did not see the edge of the cliff. He lost his footing and plunged headlong into the empty valley below. Thought of Lorna's death, like a heavy knell in my brain. I could hardly see my mother's face as she met me at the door. It belongs to me, even though and I shall pray to die so I can be with her. She's not dead, John. She's going to get well. Oh, Mother!  Lorna! Oh, Lorna! Hello, Carvedoom. Year by year, her beauty grows with the growth of goodness, kindness, true happiness, and above all, with loving. And to this day, each sunbeam that touches the fair county of Devon speaks her name, and the valleys of Devon echo with the thought of her loveliness. Inselton will return in a moment. There's no gift you could give your mother that would mean as much to her as your love, expressed in both words and actions. Now, of course, only you can express your love in action, but you can find a hallmark card to help you express it in words. And sometimes the right words inspire action, you know. So during this week before Mother's Day, resolve to stop in and see the beautiful collection of Mother's Day cards at the fine stores where you buy all your hallmark cards. Choose one that says what you want to say to your mother, the one above all others that seems as if it's written for the two of you. You can find such a one, you know. You can find a hallmark card to say what you want to say, just the way you want to say it. Including that hallmark on the back which says you carried enough to send the very best. Here again is James Hilton. Whenever you see the name David Devon heading a cast, you can always count on something fine and exciting. And tonight gave us just that. Thank you for being with us on the hallmark playhouse tonight, David. I enjoyed being here, Jimmy. You hallmark folks certainly know how to make a person feel good with all those kind words.
