There are times where inaction becomes more significant than action. This is a time like that, the less you do, the better. So in terms of work, in terms of travel especially, it's best that we all control our travel a little bit. Not a little bit, all the way. Because, well, we have seen many contagious diseases. India has been going through bouts of malaria and now dengue, chicken, guinea. In all these, the carriers were mosquitoes. So we always thought we must exterminate the mosquitoes. And we took measures to see that they cannot breathe, not a little pool of water is there anywhere in the ashram and like municipalities and city administrations, all of them going on a war footing to kill the mosquito. In the present situation, we are the carriers. So we cannot kill, so we must lie low.  Above all, to realize the fragile nature of our existence. Most human beings don't understand this on a day-to-day basis. Our life is very fragile.  Don't believe what is appearing on your phone screens that dig hobnobby ball with a multi-colored ball. It doesn't come like a cricket ball, it's microscopic. So the adversary that we are facing is invisible. That's what make them so dangerous. If they were all coming here, this be cricket balls, we would have taken a cricket bat and smashed them. They are invisible adversaries. For whatever reason it's happened, that's not the point. This is the time where we need to understand, because we are the carriers. If it is going from one person to another, one person to another, if one person is missing there, it will not go to the next person. That's what it means. So for all of us who generally, those who are inner engineering ishangas who travel extensively, we have grounded all of them including myself. Many used to complain about travel. Now they must enjoy just being here. And I'm sure many of you complain about your work. Now you must learn how to be without much to do. And above all, those who had no time to do yoga, here it is. Well, you couldn't close your eyes and meditate because you were busy, busy, busy. Here you are. This is the time to close your eyes and sit. But Sadhguru, even if I close my eyes, only the virus are coming. No, you cannot see the virus, so it cannot come in your dream. Hello? You have not seen one, so it should not come. You are making up things. This is very important. This is the time. It's a reality check for all of us. The fragile life that we are, have we kind of organized ourselves to understand and live here and knowing how fragile and how, you know, transient our life is, have we planned for a life like that?  It is time at least now you don't create make-believe things in your mind. This is a reality check as to who we are. Let's make use of this. If you could not enlighten yourself by yourself, at least use the virus. Yes.  It's a good lesson, it's a good reminder, I'm saying. This is not a time to be panicky, but we need to be precocious. So we are taking every possible step that we can practically take in the ashram. All of you should cooperate and be part of it. Hello? Every one of you? If you see anybody, even a bit little down, immediately you must report them and take them somewhere where they can be checked. Anyway, we're checking every one of you every three days from now on, okay? Morning, southern everybody should come and we will check you up because this is important. We want to go through this successfully. How about you? Successfully and gracefully. It's very important. We are making a tremendous effort. What India is doing right now is incredible for the kind of population that we are. It's an incredible effort. Nations across the world are appreciating what India is doing. Today we have tried to make the strategy of preparation and prevention not just to the nation, but to all the nations which share border with us. Today the Prime Minister is addressing them. Sometimes it's going on right now. All these efforts are not simple. This is going to cost us enormously. Yes. This is going to hit us enormously in terms of economic terms. People, businesses, the nation and the world are going to suffer an enormous economic is going to take an enormous economic hit. No question about that. But right now the focus is on staying alive. For staying alive you just have to be little missing in action. This happened. Shankaran Pillai was at his office and during the lunch time everybody was talking their problems at home. So Shankaran Pillai said every evening my wife picks up my shoes and carries it in her own hands. I said, wow, that's amazing. You have such a wife. Every day when you go home she will take your shoes and carry it. No, no, when I want to leave the house she takes away the shoes. Not when I come back. It doesn't matter which way. You need to keep your travelling shoes a little bit off.  All this you must be missing for some time. The love should be nurtured in your heart. Need not be expressed for some time. Yes? Now there is a cost to this. There is an enormous cost to this. But any cost is better than being dead. Hello? Any cost is better than being dead. So ensure that yourself and nobody around you should fall a victim to this. This is the commitment with which you must live till this is over. Neither you nor anybody around you should put to this risk. You have to take care of this. Because the adversary is invisible Who is that? Who is the coughing person? Hello? No, really I'm telling you. Who is the coughing person? Let him sit out. That's what you need to do. This is exactly what I'm telling you. Hello? Just sit out separately. It's okay, you don't have to go away. This is what you need to do. Now this is not discrimination. This is just sense. Those who are sensible will survive these situations. Those who are senseless, they will be brave and dead. So if somebody... You must pay very intense attention to them. Wait for thirty seconds and see are they going to cough once again. If they cough the second time you must come. This please come. And we are setting up stations everywhere. Take them there, let them be checked up. This is what you need to do. Okay? Well, a missionary who was on his mission of saving souls in Africa was captured by a tribe and which doctor was looking at him up and down. The missionary asked, why are you looking at me so intensely? The witch doctor said, well, I'm the food inspector here. Hmm? You must pay that kind of attention. Okay? Means you must pay attention to them. Another thirty seconds if they do one more they must go for a check up. Please take care of this. Okay? All other requirements will put it out. And for everybody else who are connected with us right now on the web keep yourself minimum don't... this is not the time to travel the world. And the simplest thing you can do is if you stay away from everybody as many of you are so busy you could not meditate, do some of it. This is the time. We can also instruct you in the next few days how to do long meditation so that the time that you have you can use it to build yourself up because it doesn't matter what life throws at us what we make out of it is ours. What life throws at us we cannot decide. What we make out of it is hundred percent ours. So right now for some reason nature is throwing some deadly virus at us. Let's make the best out of it. It's not going to be there forever. It will go.  We don't know. But it will not last forever.  Let it pass. If it was a big giant we would have fought it. Right now the only way is to because they need us for transportation we don't provide the transportation. That's all we need to do. Okay? You must take this commitment. You will ensure that you will not be the carrier to give it to another human being. If it comes to you it must stop with you. Huh? Take care of this. So that's about it. There is no need to cause too much panic about it. There is a differences. There is a difference being between being precocious and panicky. Panicky means you will do all the wrong things. Precocious means you do the right things. That's the important aspect of this. So here we are. Any questions please? I've read many of your books and I've learned a lot. I've also been touched deeply by kriyas in hatha yoga. I was wondering why is it that you don't teach kriyas in hatha yoga through books wouldn't that reach more people? Thank you. Yoga is not something that you teach. Yoga is something that you transmit. A book cannot do transmission. A book can give you information and inspiration. So we are writing books to inspire people to take to yoga. Not to instruct people into yoga or transmit yoga through the book. Well as there are many many forms of yoga, there is also one form of yoga called book yoga. That is people want to learn yoga through books. Well if you don't have any trouble in your life even if the virus did not so interest in you humans pick up a yoga book and try to practice yoga with the book. There are so many books wanting to teach yoga to people. Fortunately people who buy these books generally they flip through, they don't read through. If they read through they don't practice. If they practice within first three to five days they will give it up. But there are a few people who will take this up seriously and do it. There are thousands of cases or many more who have caused immense damage to themselves by doing book yoga. Because when you do yoga through the book you won't start with the basics. Whatever they are saying is the highest practice that's where you start because of course you're eligible because you can read. Well I forget which year 86 So some of them might have been cases why is that man moving like that hello you're trying to spread the virus huh what is that oh then you must fly I thought you're trying to do relay virus relay So in 1986 when they made a survey in the Nimhans institute in Bangalore Nimhans institute is a premier neurosciences institution or it's a mental asylum on one level not really an asylum or hospital more 8% of the inpatients that year were improper yoga cases there are thousands of ways for you to drive yourself mad there are if you want I can tell you how many ways you can do it or maybe you yourself are an expert but 8% of the people choose yoga as their path to madness that's incredible what should be an ultimate solution to your life becomes the pathway to madness this is simply because without preparatory steps without any transmission just picking up odd instructions and trying to do something fortunately most of them don't practice after some time those who take it seriously will pay a very huge price it is I know I will invite a lot of lack for this but that's not new to me so let me say this in a way teaching intricate yoga or yogic processes which are inward directed processes through a book is a crime it's a crime it is like there are some people you know sometime ago it was there now it's been removed there are some people who have access to scientific information and at the time just about before this probably before 2003 or 4 at that time there was clear instructions as to how to make a nuclear bomb on the web on the internet you could get everything as to how to make a nuclear bomb only problem was assimilating the material but if you had access to material every bit of information how to make a nuclear bomb was all there now they removed because whatever the security situations are such so using knowledge in this manner is not a responsible thing it's a crime first of all nuclear bomb is anyway a crime unfortunately it is needed because somebody else has it you are nervous about it so you have it because you have it somebody else has it because they have it somebody else has it well this is an unfortunate reality in the world but putting it out on the net how to make a nuclear bomb is definitely a crime isn't it in a way yoga is much more than nuclear science it comes to you as a individual person because this can make something else happen within you it can transform a human being into another possibility if it's mishandled it can also destroy a human being so when it comes to transmission it's made in such a way even if thousands of people are in the same hall not everybody will receive the same thing you can check the experiences of people not everybody will receive the same thing even if all of them are sitting in the same session because that is how it is transmitted each according to their own receptivity that they have that's the way it should be so that is the nature of transmission subjective transmission but putting all that in a book and thinking it's going to work no this book is definitely written by somebody it has no experience of any kind because they've read something somewhere and they put it here anybody who has experienced the potency of what it is will never do that ever so please don't do book yoga but please buy the death book this is the first time I'm advertising for a book because all the other books had a choice whether you can read it or not read it this one this is for all those who shall die we will leave the immortal ones the rest must read please put out lots of books out in the ashram so that people can pick it up and read don't do book yoga what you call as life is packed between two dimensions called birth and death if you do not hold the two ends of life properly life will spill out of your hands it won't be in your hands this is why death birth happened without your permission sir guru you talk about collective karma for example tribes and clans that suffer certain things together sir guru this corona virus that's going on later right now is it like a temple of collective karma for us global society wow if we behave irresponsibly five people here behave irresponsibly everybody will suffer isn't it collective karma no somebody does something everybody suffers please but about tribes and clans what we've talked about the kula as it's called in India is has a genetic connection virus is an infection irrespective of your genetics it may get anybody this is a different kind of collective karma suppose a thousand years ago in the woom city if some deadly virus came we wouldn't know and it wouldn't come here yes or no now we have a collective karma of travel and trade hmm we have a collective karma of trade and travel so what happens somewhere probably one is some four thousand and odd miles from here but virus that come there you can't stop it it goes everywhere is this our collective karma or no definitely it is but not in the context of kula because that happens because of genetic reasons if ten people here suffer the rest of the tribe somewhere else they will also suffer because of genetic connections that's of a different nature that is to erupt the playing out in a collective manner but this is right now the virus is global karma everybody has to pay a price for it let's pay the price gracefully but let it not be life other kinds of price we all have to pay there is no choice about it whether you have it you don't have it everybody has to pay a price in terms of restricting our lives losing money, losing opportunities many many things only thing is make sure it's not life that we are losing so many times in society you are often told what should make you happy and in a way we are followers I wanted to find out your opinion what should we do what should we do what should we do what should we do what should we do what should we do what should we do what should we do what should we do what should we do to find out your opinion what should make a person essentially happy so what is it what does it mean to be truly happy namaskaram kejji I am sorry to tell you that my April trip to South Africa But about happiness, I was just telling them, this is mango season in India and maybe in some parts of Africa also, but you can't compare Indian mango to anything. Well, now when we go near a mango tree, this is a time when all the young boys and girls are looking, parrots are also here, they're all looking up for the mangoes. This is the direction we are looking because that's where sweetness is. Suppose you go under the mango tree and start digging, is there any chance of you ever eating a mango, I'm asking? Is it possible? So what we need to understand is, human experience is caused from within us. No matter what, joy or misery, agony or ecstasy, pain or pleasure is caused from within us. But we are trying to fix the world so that we are happy. See, we thought we are fixing it, just a silly virus. Our whole life's going to an upheaval. So right now, all our programs cancelled and much financial loss all over the place because we booked major event spaces and so much has been done, volunteers have worked everywhere. Now, it's just up in the air, we cannot even say when we will do it. This is the time to get into depression because everybody says if things don't happen the way you think they should happen, you must be miserable. Nothing in the world will ever happen 100% your way. This one person must happen your way, 100%. If this one happened 100% your way, would you keep yourself blissful or miserable? That's all the question is. I know what's your choice. You're asking this question because as you said people say this will make you happy, that will make you happy. Fix this, fix that, fix that, fix everything. Still it will not happen because you're trying to dig mangoes from the roots. That's not where it comes, it comes up there.  This is why we are talking about inner engineering. You fix this one. Being joyful is assured. Rest of the life we have to do to the best of our ability. No two human beings can do outside life to the same extent. It's never possible. No two human beings can ever do it the same way when it comes to the world. But if you're joyful, you will do your best. And that's all that matters in this life or you're doing your best in every possible way. You can only do that if you're happy and joyful by your own nature.  Got cancer? Were they about to play Australia, the South African team? Were they playing India? Now I can't even wish you luck. Hahaha... Now, you can bowl and play the game to your best only when your physical body and your intelligence cooperates with you. It doesn't take any scientific understanding. If you make a sensible evaluation of yourself, you can clearly see that your body and your brains cooperate best only when your experience of life is pleasant which is what you're calling as happiness. Happiness is not some quantity, it's just that you're feeling very pleasant so you say I'm happy.  This is not difficult to fix, you see people who are miserable or so many different ways. All kinds of people who can't laugh, who can't sing, who can't dance, who can't do nothing sensible, they have a drink and suddenly, so I'm saying chemistry can change one's experience. This being the most complex chemical factory, we can teach you how to be a great manager of this factory so that you're always absolutely blissed out. Now your body and brains will function at your best depending upon what sort of work you're doing, how much success you find, depends who you're playing the game with. Now you're playing with India cancelled but if you did, then whichever way you bowl some of them hit it out of the boundary. The boys have become like that these days. There was a time in five days if once the ball crossed the boundary without pitching I mean if it's a six, oh the whole country celebrated. Now in five minutes if there is no six everybody is getting frustrated what's happening here. So things have changed, bowlers get battered, battered at the same time because they're trying to go so fast, bowlers also have a good time because the pace is so high. So your happiness should not depend on how many Indian batsmen get out. I don't like that. Your happiness should be that you're just happy because of that you are doing the best possible bowling that you can do. K.D. all the best for you. These are dangerous things. Talking to a South African player now. Anybody please? What's up? I'm from Russia and I heard that you are coming in Russia in June for the first time in Indian German completion. Wait, wait, wait. I'm also excited about this. But our country is now going through difficult times right now. ఙేయ్ జ౐ఙత్టు కేకరి పనీలుందు. బఆధగమ చ్ౚకిం。confused uneven in listening today. and if you asked readers what the way to think. ఇవవి�住 if you seeen that the couple is哪 number number five to make up for that. పాక్ఘ lord Voice Almighty. no bare hug, it's null slapping your shoulders. Hello? Namaskaram? Safe, hmm? We've been doing this for a long time. About now everything is a question mark, whether I'm coming to Russia or not also is a question mark. We don't know yet. As of now, schedules have been called off only till 15th of April. But we just don't know how this will pan out. Many scientific projections talk about various levels of cycle for the virus and how it plays out. If we go by that, we're not sure if it will settle before 15th of April or will we get tired of this virus caution and just go out of business at a cost, of course. I don't know. But we will go by the directive that is there among all the nations. So we don't know what Russia will say by June, is it? I'm supposed to come there in June. Most probably it should be clear by then, hopefully. But about is this the time when there are struggles in the nation, is this the time to turn inward and tend to myself? Tell me, when is your balance, your intelligence and your competence is of utmost value? When life is in crisis, it's of utmost value.   When things were good, well, you know, now we are looking for alcohol to wash our hands, we are not getting it because you guys drank up everything. We are looking around in the country, we need alcohol to wash hands for everybody who comes here, but they say Russians drank it. This happened in a... All the Russians, are you watching for me? This is just a joke, okay? I'm sure you can take one. I don't know if you understand a joke before six in the evening, but I trust you because this happened. An efficiency evaluation person in a Russian factory arrived in the morning and they were just randomly checking. So he called one of the workers and asked him, he was operating a machine. He said, if you have one shot of Urka, would you be able to operate this machine? He said, I guess so. Suppose you had two, would you be able to operate this machine? Well, I think so. If you had three, would you be able to operate this machine? I think I can possibly. I'm quite confident about that. If you had five shots of Urka, could you operate this machine? Well, I'm not doing it. So, this is the time when things were good, you are doing something else. Especially if there is a crisis in the nation, this is the time every citizen in that country should use their bodies, their brains, their wisdom and above all to be balanced and ride through the crisis. This is most important. All the Russians, if the virus allows, I will be there. People usually say God willing, but I'm saying if virus willing, I'm coming. I'm coming, virus willing. Sounds good, huh? Namaskaram, sir. As she's holding back a cough. As the song goes, and I want to say thank you. On behalf of myself and everybody here, thank you for everything, sir. Hey, what you got elected of? So, Guru, I wanted to ask you something vague, so I apologize. But what do I need to know right now? You must know that you must sit down, right? And you must know that mangoes are up in the tree, not in the ground. And you must know you must not open your mouth so big and laugh. You must hold like this. You must laugh. You cannot laugh like this because laughter is as bad as cough. Hello? I'm telling you, these are the things you must know for today.  Why do they get so much opposition? Why do they advise this this group of people and a significant, and I see whether it's you or, you know, like I said, people who were always waited for and they think that they need. And a significant part of your energies goes to clarify or address those concerns or doubts.  So why is it that there is this huge, very powerful section of people who's always opposing? Don't go by the noise that they make on the Twitter. They're making so much noise on the Twitter means it's a little birdy, you know, because they have no footprint on the ground, they have no substance. All they have is full-time on social media platforms, particularly Twitter. Here we've left tweeting to the birds, because they must tweet. So we should not overestimate them, but at the same time can we ignore them? No. Well, you must know this, Gautama was poisoned three times. The last time it killed him, the third time it killed him. Well, you know, Jesus was nailed. You know Manzur was stoned to death. You know our Socrates was poisoned. This has been the history of humanity, but at least they're only tweeting against us, because that means they're not as powerful as the enemies of the past. They've been defanged in many ways. They can only write rubbish and obscenity about you, because my chest did not swell up when somebody praise me. When somebody abuses me, I don't shrivel up. It makes no difference. At the same time, I think the organization has become alert and agile because of these people. Otherwise, a lot of them would be sleepwalking, now everybody's alert. See how the virus has made everybody super alert and conscious of everything that they do. Just like that, this kind of virus also, this is also one kind of virus. They're only wanting to go viral because they don't do anything of substance in their life. Their only joy is, for a few minutes in the day, they went viral somewhere about something, because they said something shocking or obscene or utter lie which shocked people and it went viral. Doesn't matter. All I'm saying is, my only concern is this that today, for the first time in the history of humanity, we have tools with which we can reach the entire human population. I want you to imagine, when a gautam buddha came or even when Adiyogi came, how many people could they talk to? They walked from village to village, village to village, village to village, to talk to five people, ten people. That's all. I'm telling you, I was at the Mahatma Gandhi's Sebramati ashram. I was always so intrigued by this salt satyagraha, you know. What a brilliant idea. Just salt, just going and picking up a fistful of salt, chained the whole national movement in a certain direction, which led to various things which are now history. I asked them at the ashram, how many people walked with him? Though I lived in this country and I'm reasonably okay with history, in spite of that, I did not know. I thought thousands of people must have walked. When I asked them, they said seventy-two people walked with him. Can you believe it? Seventy-two people. With seventy-two people, he changed the trajectory of India's freedom struggle. Seventy-two people, we have millions of people. We can change the trajectory of how humanity lives. So, this is the very first time many great beings have come, but they were hugely handicapped without any technology to speak to the world. They had to physically go from place to place. Who they are, they may be big today in the human consciousness. That has happened over hundreds of years or thousands of years. During their time, most people of that time who lived on this planet were not even aware such people existed. When Adiyogi walked, do you think anybody knew? Such a great being. When Krishna was fighting wars up there in Uttar Pradesh, you think South Indian people even knew about it? When Gautam Buddha walked, you think anybody knew about it? Much later, when Jesus was there, you think anybody in America or South America or Australia, now everywhere there are churches, did anybody know about it? Hardly, twelve people, all right? In that one of them freaked. That way we cannot complain. We're doing too well. Never before it's been this good. Hello? Never before it's been this good. What are we complaining about of you? They have no employment, so they're they're self-employed in abuse. It's okay. But they're not just leaving it at abuse. They're trying to hit wherever it hurts most. Not me. They can't hurt me. They'll hurt the work at various places. But it's okay. I think if you keep the throttle on, these kind of things will fall off. We just need to keep the throttle on, on, on. If our commitment to create human well-being as we're committed, if we remain strong in our commitment, these things will not only fall off, they will be here also tomorrow. And I'm telling you, in Tamil Nadu, in late 90s, certain sections of media who started campaigns against us, our struggle started because we tried to stop a few things that were happening in the forest. Why we are always accused of damaging the forest is because those who are hunting, those who are poaching, those who are cutting sandalwood trees, we made efforts to stop them. So they turned it against us and said, these people are just cutting the forest. And even now it sticks. Maybe a small percentage of population still believes that we could have done it. They keep commenting here and there. They say, oh, he cut all the forests. Now he is planting trees. Because we stopped them, because they were having a free run, when we came and established ourselves here, we became a big sore point for them. We were the big trouble because this was the only road available for them to go into the jungle and do whatever they were doing.  They're missing all that and of course the sandalwood and those who are clearing trees and cultivating maruana up there, all of them we stopped. Because of that, 25 years later still it is going on that we have destroyed thousands of acres of forest. Well, you ask any forest official who's working in the area, is forest doing better because of us or worse because of us? You can just ask anybody and you can ask any village person out here. People who lived here for long enough, they know everything has become safe and secure because of us. So because of that, they're going on about that. Everything that you can accuse a man of, a man can do and cannot do, they accuse.  This is a good angle they've taken, I'm very much excited about this angle. Because some of them are writing, he's an inicum poop, he's a nitwit, this is good for me. Very good for me. You don't understand how because there is a certain thing to it. It's good. These accusations of forest and killing elephants, all these they have stopped because it's not flying. All government agencies have put out what is the information. So they know they can't go on saying that.  That's a good advertisement for me. That's very good. So at the same time, we should not, you know, like virus. Virus is okay. We don't want it to get into our nostrils. So we must keep them little away. That we should always take care. There's no problem. But that we should take care of that. It's a certain amount of energy and time is expended on this unfortunately. But what to do? That's part of living in the world. There was a great Kannada sage called Basava. He said, वूरलन्तु मनेमाडी, सब्दगन्जिदन्ते, वूरलन्तु मनेमाडी, मात्गन्जिदन्ते. That is, you build a home in the forest and then you're afraid of wild animals. What are you? You make a home in the marketplace and you're afraid of noises. So what's wrong with you? You live in a town and you're afraid of other people's comments. So what are you? No, this is excellent. At least this you must appreciate.  One day it will transform them. So they're listening. This is nice. They're reading every quote of mine and they're trying to find what's wrong with my quote. Every talk they want to give commentary, I have confidence that one day it will transform them for sure. If it would transform you. We should close another five, ten minutes because Divya Darshanam is there, please. I was volunteering for Inner Engineering program and we were looking forward to you coming to Mumbai. But unfortunately it has been postponed. Beside me and other volunteers, it's mainly the participants who are feeling bad for this. So is there any message for them that we make for the program? Oh, the message is as I told you, you must be missing in action. Don't be the carrier. Till then, we will come. We will come to Mumbai anyway. All the places that we had fixed and promised, anyway we will make it up now. What we had to do in four to five months, we'll have to do it in two to three months probably. But we will do it, we'll keep that commitment, subject to availability of halls and everything else. But till then if you are a super hungry seeker, you've already been through the Inner Engineering online, please download the app and there is Ishakriya. Start doing Ishakriya. It'll be a fantastic preparation for the Shambhavi. We are coming for you. Namaskaram Sadhguru. My question is about milk, that milk is coming from the cows which is very torturous way. How old are you? I'm 32. Too late for milk drinking. Sadhguru, I didn't understand. Then you can drink milk. Just to get the milk from them and it's about their reproductive system and we are dependent on the milk which should be given to the her children and this has been happening since ages and also in the yogic system and in the temples the milk is getting used for theas and also for the lingas. So I'm not sure how good it is. I sometimes I feel very bad about it. I don't know where you saw theas burning with milk. Anyway. So it's better to slaughter them, not torture them, right? Oh, that will not happen. The only other option is slaughter them. So we think it's better to milk them rather than slaughter them. We think it's better to put them to work than to slaughter them. This is my understanding of cruelty.  That's exactly what will happen. Whatever your intentions are, that is exactly what will happen. Yes or no? That's all that will happen.  There is cruelty everywhere. You were sent to school.  Yes, it's very cruel on a child. But can you leave the children on the street and say, don't go to school? We have to put them through that cruelty because otherwise they will go and kill each other on the street. Yes?  They will become poverty will take over, crime will take over, other kinds of things will take over. So it's better put them through 12-15 years of cruelty to avoid a lifelong suffering. Yes or no? We know certain things are cruel, but we still do it because the alternative is worse. First and foremost thing for every life is right to life. After that, whether it should be milked or not, whether it should be worked or not, I'm sure the next thing is the bulls are drawing the cart. Some people are coming, activists are coming and saying, they're doing very cruel, these bulls are being treated very cruel, they're drawing the cart. Flat ground, football bearings, easy breaks and everything so that it's not very hard on him, but he needs to work. If he doesn't work, we will just keep him and you will feed him. Such a thing won't work. So we will leave him. Where will you go? Straight to the slaughterhouse. Straight. Because they want him to go quick before he loses his muscle. That's what will happen to him. We want him to live. That's why we're making him work. If it's a male, we make him work that way. If it's a female, we milk her, it's good. Otherwise, you will not give them any chance to live. Anything that's not useful to human societies, have we allowed them to live? Are we in that kind of condition?  Are you in that state of compassion, I'm asking you. If you are like that fantastic, I would bow down at your feet, okay? If you are like that, you are not like that, I know. I know you are not like that. I know who I am dealing with. So this kind of rubbish keeps coming up, this misplaced compassion without knowing the realities of how the world works. Somebody is complaining about this. If the dogs are tied up, they said, cruelty to the dogs and suddenly they would write blogs about us. Okay, if I let them lose, this happened. Let this happen. In Bangalore, one case happened, in Madurai or some place, another happened. Packs of dogs, they attack school going children and ate them up because dog is a carnivorous animal. If they are there in packs, they will get their instinct back. Only when they are separate individual, they don't have that sense. But if 10-15 of them are together and roaming around, when they see a child below four feet of height, they will go for him. So school going children were attacked and eaten up. Now what do you do? Now municipality comes and just culls all of them. Isn't it better that they're tied? Hello? We leave them when nobody is there. When people are there, we tie them up or put them in a box. Otherwise the only way is to cull them. You will say we put him to sleep. Generally people say we put him to sleep. No, you just killed him. Hello?  I put him to sleep, send him to heaven, whatever nonsense. Why don't we send you also? This may sound cruel and absurd, but I want you to know this. Every other life values its life as much as you value yours. Even an ant doesn't want to die. Yes or no? Do you think an ant is wanting to die because it's a small life? No, even an ant sees its life is as precious as yours. So if you don't milk the cow, it will go straight to the slaughterhouse. That's where it's going. That's where they're all going. Those who don't have milk, those who don't have the ability to work, that's where they're going. Namaskaram sathkaran. Thank you for everything. My name is Rakeshwara. I just completed my PhD from Stanford last year and I came for Sadhana Pahatha and I also had the fortune of doing Samyama with you. Thanks you once again. So during Samyama you said people who are naturally sensitive, they tend to be fragile. So this has been kind of true my whole life. So for example even now if somebody touches my back or my left side, I feel like punching them. Oh very sensitive you are. That's the instinct but I control it. Okay because of 10 years of inner engineering. So anyway not just that when it comes to smells, foods, electrical man, radiation etc. So this limits my ability to function in the world. So I was wondering if there is any Sadhana that I can do of people like me so that they're not just sensitive, they're also strong. Like Hanuman, he was very sensitive but he could take one-fourth of the Lankana on his single-handed. So they said he had the blessings of Shiva so I'm also seeking the same. Sensitivity should be you must be life sensitive. People become ego sensitive. Physical body becomes sensitive. Now you must become life sensitive. If you become life sensitive, how would you think of punching this guy in the face? If you became life sensitive such a thing would never occur to you. Now body has become weak, not sensitive, weak. Right now you see you're all right, I'm saying any of you. We're not talking about the PhD guy. If you're right now you're all right but let's say this is not the time to say this. Let us say you're having a flu and feeling a little like that. Not corona before. Pre-corona flu you had, feeling like this. Somebody as much as such as you feel, yes or no? When you're well, it's okay, you can rub shoulders with people. When you're unwell, everything matters, small, small things.  So do not understand that as sensitivity, that is weakness. When you're weak, you become fragile. That fragility is different. Sensitivity which makes your body fragile is different. Fragile not in terms of weakness, like Hanuman. No, no, I don't want to talk about Hanuman in South India, you should not talk about him because we have lot of issues with him being who he is. The Tamil man, you made lot of misinterpretations about him. We don't like it. So let's leave it there, let's not get into one historical problems that we have. But sensitivity should be of life sensitivity. If you sit here, your life reverberates with everything. With those crickets which are going cram, with a bird which is sleeping, with people who are sitting here, even a little tiny insect that's crawling, your life reverberates with all that. Now, your sensitivity becomes a means to know. Right now, your sensitivity will push you into a corner in the world. Yes, it will push you into a corner where you cannot do anything after some time.  If you become life sensitive, sensitivity becomes the means to absorb and know everything. Right now, this sensitivity will create allergy for life. More and more, you will not be able to bear with people around you. Everything irritates you. This is not sensitivity, this is irritation, agitation. This comes out of a certain level of weakness in the system. So, if you want to become like a Hanuman, I have a sadhana for you. If you are here for long enough, slowly will make the tail grow. I think we should close. There is a... there is Divya Darshanam today. We need to get there, okay? Eight o'clock.

Welcome back everyone. So yeah, we were talking about practical ways to keep God first. Did anyone else have anything they'd like to share? What are some ways in which we can make sure we're not allowing other things to take us away from God and from His kingdom? Okay, let me just also just share some thoughts. So I think looking at our resources, God has blessed us with His blessed us with money, His blessed us with time, His blessed us with abilities that we can use. And all of those things, like how are we utilizing those things? How do we use our time? How do we use our money? How do we use the gifts that God has given us? Are those things actually being given to serve God or are they serving our own purposes primarily? And are we bringing it into submission to God? The ways in which we use our time, our money, our resources, our abilities. The ways in which we, like we looked at even in this Psalm 60 to 10, if we are resorting to things like extortion, things that are clearly not in line with God's will, that itself is evidence that God and His will don't have first place in our lives. So we can look at the fruit of what we're doing or we can look at how can we use the things that God has given us in ways that are honoring to God so that we keep from falling into the other end of making those things God rather than God Himself. So that is one thing. So how do we sacrifice time to be in God's Word? How do we give off our money making sure that we're not hoarding our money or very stingy with it? Or it doesn't come in the way of us giving generously towards God's work or towards people in need. All of those things, how we're using our money, how we're using other resources that God has given us, how we're using the abilities He's given us to serve us, to serve Him, sorry. All of those things can be indications of where God is in our lives and the decisions we make with how we use those things can protect God's place in our lives as well. So those are practical things that we can do to make sure that we don't allow them to take a place over God. So we'll go into the next section which is the last chapter in this book. So three things that this parable talks about in the three Gospels is understanding the Word of God, receiving the Word of God and then retaining the Word of God. So let's just start with Matthew 13-23. Someone can read that for us please. Seed on the ground is he who hears the Word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces some 100 fold, some 60, some 30. Okay, thank you. So Matthew 13-23 is talking about this understanding of God's Word which we already looked at. So going beyond our natural understanding to a spiritual revelation of what the Word talks about. So depending on the Holy Spirit in this, can someone read these verses, Psalm 119-18. And then we'll also go through the verses in the next bullet point as well. So Psalm 119-18, open my eyes. That I may behold wondrous things about of your law. Yes, so Psalm 119-18, open my eyes. So that can be a prayer even before we start to look into God's Word to pray this over ourselves. Lord, open my eyes that I will see wonderful truths in your instruction. So recognizing that the Holy Spirit has to give us that understanding and revelation. Can we look at Colossians 110 and 310 also? Colossians 110. So as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. Thank you. Can you also read 9 and 10? So we pray verses 9 and 10. And so from the day we heard, we have not keys to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. Thank you. So as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in knowledge of God. Thank you. So that spiritual understanding enables us to live in a way that honors and pleases God, growing to know God more and more. That's what Colossians 110 says. So each of these verses in the second point are talking about the ways in which we can be growing. We'll have very similar language, but we'll still read through them just to look at what are some ways in which we can grow as we grow in our spiritual understanding. So Colossians 310 as well please. Colossians 310 and have put on the new self which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Thank you. So here we're being renewed in our minds and we're becoming more like God himself, right? So as we grow in our understanding of the Word of God, in our understanding of who God is, our minds are transformed and with the transformation of our minds, our being is transformed. The way we live is transformed to more fully be like who God is, to be more full reflections of who God is. Can we read 2nd Peter 318? But growing the grace and knowledge of a Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, to him be the glory both now and forever. Amen. So this is growing in grace and in knowledge. So as we're growing in the knowledge of who Christ is, we're also growing in grace to live like him, to be like him. Can we read Ephesians 318-19 and then Ephesians 4-13. Ephesians 318-19 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Thank you. So with a knowledge of scripture comes knowledge also. We can grow in a knowledge of God's love towards us and that love although it's so difficult for our human minds to comprehend that comes through the spiritual revelation, through the Holy Spirit's revelation. And that is what fills us with God's life and power, enabling us to live in it. And then Ephesians 4-13. Until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Thank you. So for us to keep growing in our faith and knowledge. So as we're growing in knowledge, we're growing in faith, becoming more mature in him, becoming more and more fully mature church that God has called us to be. So this is what it means to have that spiritual understanding and then to keep growing. How does that spiritual understanding impact us in our spiritual walks as well? We look at Mark 4-20, which talks about receiving God's Word. And then look at the two verses that we have there on the PowerPoint. Mark 4-20. But these are the ones, these are the ones sown on good ground. Those who hear the word accept it and bear fruit, some 34, some 60 and some 100. Thank you. So this is Mark is talking about hearing and accepting or receiving God's Word for ourselves. So not only hearing it, but also saying this is something that I believe in, that I am choosing to receive and believe that it will bear fruit in my life. We look at Hebrews 4-2 and Luke 1-45, please. For indeed the Gospel was preached to us as well as to them, but the Word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. Luke 1-45, yes. Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord. Thank you. So we see the difference here. Hebrews 4-2 talking about people who didn't receive the Word in faith, versus Luke 1-45 where Mary receives the Word of God to her in faith. And so because she receives it in faith, she sees the fruit of it and she's blessed because she has believed. Whereas in Hebrews 4-2, we see that it didn't do the people any good because they didn't respond to the Word that they had heard in faith. So both of them received the promise. So Hebrews 4-2 is talking about the people of Israel receiving a promise of God's rest in the promised land. But they didn't receive that in faith and so they missed out on receiving that promise. Versus Mary who received a Word that seemed impossible, but she believed it. And because she believed it, she was able to relieve the blessing of being the mother of Jesus. And so that can be, we can choose where we fall with the Hebrews, with the people of Israel or with Mary and what we see as a result of our faith. Let's look at Luke 8-15, which is the last reference to the parable how we respond to the Word of God. 8-15, yeah please go on. But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard the Word with a noble and a good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience. Thank you. So here we see that Word keep or retain the Word of God. That can also be translated as clinging to the Word of God, like staying, holding fast to the Word of God or sticking with the Word of God. So this means that no matter what is coming against us, we are holding on to that Word for dear life. No matter whatever challenges we are facing, we know that the Word is life. The Word is where our strength is, the Word is where our promises and our hope is. And so no matter what is happening around us, we are holding on to that Word. And as we do this, as we receive spiritual understanding, as we respond to the Word in faith, as we hold on to the Word in the face of challenges that are coming our way, we believe that we will see the fruit of that Word in our lives. So Matthew and Mark specifically, Matthew and Luke, yeah no, Matthew and Mark, talk about the fruit being 30 fold, 60 fold and 100 fold. So we might initially see a smaller harvest, but as we continue to hold on to it, we see that Word bear greater and greater fruit in our lives. From 30 fold to 100 fold and even greater, we can believe God for that. So some last few verses that we're going to look at and then we'll close with our discussion on our own experience of meditating on God's Word. So Romans 12-2, I'm sure all of us know the verse, but we'll just read it. Someone can read Romans 12-2 for us. Romans 12-2, do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Thank you. So we see here that we're allowing the Word to transform us. So don't follow the behaviors or the customs of this world, be transformed by changing the way you think and then you will know God's will. So we allow the Word to transform the way we think. The Word renews our minds, it cleanses our minds and then it teaches us the true good pleasing will of God and as we know the will of God, then we also continue to walk in the ways of God. So Romans 12-2, don't copy the ways of the world, be renewed in your mind. So that should be our posture as well. So we are not going to follow the way we see the world living. We're going to go to God's Word and look at what God says about how we should be living and then let that inform the way we think, let that inform the way we live every day and as we are doing that, we will more and more know God's will. We'll more and more be able to discern what is pleasing to him and what is not. Let's look at James 1-22 and 25. But be doers of the Word and not errs only, deceiving yourself, 25th Word, but he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it and is not a forgetful error, but a doer of the Word, this one will be blessed in what he does. Thank you. So moving from just knowing the Word to actually being doers of the Word. Those are the people who are blessed. It's not just because we know the Word of God that we see fruit in our lives, but also because we walk in obedience to it. So apart from what we looked at in the parable of understanding, receiving, retaining, we also want to encourage obedience to the Word of God for only through obedience that we see the blessings of God then become something that is realized in our lives. And then just we look at this last part of abiding in God's Word. So what does it mean to abide? It means to remain, to continue and not to depart from God's Word. So that becomes our place of dwelling. That becomes the place where we establish our home is in the Word of God. And we look at all of these verses that are listed here, John 8, 31 to 32. Gospel of John 8, 31 to 32. So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in Him, if you abide in my Word, you are truly my disciples and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Thank you. So it is as we remain in God's Word, as we remain faithful to God's Word, that we see the truth of that Word becoming something that we are holding onto, something that is setting us free from things that have a hold on us. Let's read John 14, 21. John 14, 21, He who has my commandments and keeps them, it is He who loves me and He who loves me will be loved by my Father and I will love Him and manifest myself to Him. Thank you. So in John 8, 31 and 32 we looked at abiding in God's Word, so remaining in God's Word. John 14, 21 has this promise of those who obey my Word, I will come and abide with you. So the Father will love them and I will love them and reveal Him. Sorry, 21, 23. Did we read 23? No, I didn't answer it. Can you read 23 as well please? Sure. Jesus answered and said to Him, if anyone loves me, He will keep my Word and my Father will love Him and we will come to Him and make our home with Him. So we see here the promise of God Himself abiding with us. So as we abide in God's Word, John 8, 31 and 32, we see fruit born in our lives, we see release from lies and we walk in truth and in freedom. And then John 14 is as we walk in obedience to God's Word, God Himself abides with us. So there's that almost like a reciprocation, right? We are abiding.  We are constantly dwelling in the presence of God. John 15, 7. You can read that verse. If you abide in me and my Word abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you. Okay, so we see answer to prayer as we are remaining in God's Word. So they're also praying in line with God's Word and in line with His will and we see those things manifest in our lives. And then 1 John 2, 14. 1 John 2, 14. I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young man, because you are strong and the Word of God abides in you and you have overcome the wicked one. Thank you. So it is as we abide, as the Word abides in us, that we overcome the wicked one. We looked at this verse previously as well in an earlier chapter. So these are the promises as we abide in God's Word. These are some verses that look at what can we expect to see in our lives. We can expect to see freedom. We can expect to live in truth. We can expect the very presence of God to be with us. We can experience the power to overcome Satan in our everyday lives in the challenges that we are facing. And let me just go back to John 15, 7, sorry. And we can expect that we will see the Word fulfilled as we are praying that Word and asking for things from God in line with His Word. We see those things fulfilled in our lives. So we've come to the end of the book. So this is what we want to encourage us through this book is that we will learn to go to the Word of God, right? To study it, but to go to it with a desire to know God more, to dwell in His presence, to see Him, to experience Him, to encounter Him and to see His Word fulfilled in our lives. And we do that by depending on the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit leading us into all truth. And as we depend on the Holy Spirit, we believe that the Word of God will transform us from within. It will renew our minds. It will transform our hearts. It will release us from things that are not of God. And then our lives will be transformed. The way we live our everyday lives will be transformed as we see those changes that are happening within, start to manifest in the way we live. And we believe that as we live like that, we live those transformed lives, we will be those blessed people that Scripture talks about, people who are prosperous, people who are successful in everything that we are doing, people who are bearing fruit in every season, not just in the good seasons, but in every season we are bearing fruit for the Kingdom of God. So, we are God's garden, right? The Word of God is being planted in our hearts. The words of blessing, words of victory, words of prosperity, of healing, of purity, holiness, power, peace, and love, all of these things are being planted in our hearts through the Word of God. As we go to God's Word, those are the things that we are receiving. And we can expect that as we continue to meditate on His Word, that these things will begin to manifest.  We will show two people that our God is a God who desires to bless, who desires to prosper His people. Our God is the victor and He gives us victory. Our God is a holy God. Our God is a pure God. Our God is healer. Our God is the one who gives us peace in every aspect of our lives.  So, to see all of those things manifested in our lives, and we ourselves become a revelation of who God is as we allow His Word to come into our hearts and to transform us and bear fruit in our lives. So, we've come to the end of the book. Let's... I'd love to hear from you all. You can share either from your takeaway from this book or also your experience over this past week, meditating on certain passages of scripture. You can share what that was like, some of your learning, some of your insights or even your challenges. Yeah, this is the time for just us to discuss that and then we'll close. So, was there anyone who was able to try this out? It's what we talked about, meditating on God's Word. Sister, I've been... because I've been going through those verses and, you know, according to the themes, I'm actually putting them on a document. So, and I'm writing each verse out so that then it makes it easy for me to go through it, you know, theme by theme and meditate on all those verses. Okay, okay. So, you are doing the practical work of preparing before you start. That's right, yeah. It just makes it easy for me. Every theme will have a separate document with all the verses on there. Okay, thank you. Anyone else wants to share? You can also just share, since we've finished the book, anything that you've wanted to share regarding what we've covered, something that you've learned, something that was new, anything, or anything else that you want to add to what we've covered? Yes, Pastor, I'd just like to share one particular verse which I've been meditating on, I would say, from last year, basically itself. So, it's Isaiah 53.5. But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was upon him. And by his stripes, we are healed. So, this particular verse kind of, it kind of helps me. We say, we need to keep eyes on the cross and not get distracted by the things of this world, like in Romans 12-2, don't be confirmed to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. For this kind of verse, it used to come to me now and then to kind of encourage me to stay focused on the cross. Stay focused on the cross in the sense, if we don't appreciate and value what Jesus has done for all of us, not just us Christians, but even the unbelievers, if we don't value his sacrifice on the cross, it's not going to convict us to turn away from the world. So, this particular verse was kind of, it's been holding me since last year. It's been a verse which I still meditate on it even to this day, just to keep me focused and to appreciate, to value, to honor what Christ has done for us on the cross. So, when we look at the beauty of his sacrifice for us, that should captivate our hearts and our minds and help us turn away from the things of the world which are trivial, which only last for a season or for a short time. But what Christ has done on the cross for us is for all eternity. It's something that is which surpasses anything that we can see on our left and on our right if we just keep our eyes on the cross. That's all I'd like to share, Pastor. Thank you. It's so important to keep the gospel at the center of everything that we're doing, right? So, Paul talks about only preaching the cross of Christ. That's because in the cross is power, hope, life itself. And if we forget that very core of who we are, our identity, where our identity is rooted, then it's so easy to get distracted like I said. So, very important to keep going back to the cross. Thank you. Okay. If there's anyone else who wants to share, you can share. Otherwise, what we'll do is we'll close and we'll come back for our third hour. Is there anyone else who wants to share anything? I just want to quickly share the this is the it's to do with my brother. And this is long before he actually became a Christian.  One of the verses was the Isaiah 53 was it? Yeah, and but he would say, by his stripes I'm healed, by his stripes I'm healed for anything. And the thing was, anytime he was in a strain situation or anytime he was in a challenging situation he would use this verse. Because he didn't know any other verses, but he had so much faith in this verse that every time he said that verse he would overcome any challenges that were there. And of course now he's been a Christian for a long time now and he's very deep rooted in the word but it just goes to show the power of the word. Even if you don't know, even if it's not the right verse for that situation but having the faith that God's word has power is amazing. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, thank you. Praise God. God doesn't wait for us to be those mature, fully understanding, fully knowing Christians. He works with us where we are and he blesses the small seeds of faith that we have. So yeah, an encouragement to us that wherever we are God knows and he blesses those small acts of faith that we that we display however tiny they are. Thank you so much. So let's just close here. If anyone didn't get a chance to share, you wanted to share, please feel free to post on Google Classroom and I encourage you to go into the practice of meditation to try it out. We spent five weeks on it so we definitely want to actually take what we've been talking about and then start to practice it and see what benefits it has for us personally. So just start to do it in your own personal prayer time. That's a good way. You don't have to find a new time to do it or kind of set aside some extra time if that is a challenge but within your normal devotional time to spend some time in meditating on God's word. So we'll close here and come back for the third hour on New Testament Survey. Thank you.


is a model of propan-2-ol. If the functional group was on the end carbon, and therefore we would name this propan-1-ol, then being on an end carbon would make it a primary alcohol. We have one, two, three carbons, which is why it's propan-ol, and so therefore propan-1-ol telling us that the OH group is on an end carbon. But for a secondary alcohol, the hydroxyl group is located on a central carbon, or one at least that is not on the end, not a terminal carbon. So therefore we have our OH group attached to a carbon, which is also attached to one, two other carbons. The fact that it's attached to these other carbons is what makes it a secondary alcohol.


A couple of quick points on maps, so we did improve the interpretations component in the maps app, so now it's the same as the data visualizer and line listing application. We also in the thematic layers have an option for viewing only completed events, and we did make some significant performance improvements to the Google Earth engine aggregations. So those population layers that have become very popular quite quickly are now going to be loading a little bit faster. And we see that this is a really popular feature has become a very popular feature in a relatively short period of time. And we have gotten feedback that that was taking too long for some of those to load so luckily we're able to make some performance improvements. So now you'll see those detailed population layers coming through Google Earth engine loading faster in the maps app. We also managed to backport that to 236. So if you're not using the latest version of DHS to as long as you're using up to 236 you'll still see this performance improvements. So now that was my very short but sweet analytics I'll hand it off to Lars.
