00:00If your mind took instructions from you, would you create anxiety?
00:08Just do the simple sadhana all of you, you can't do any other yoga.
00:11This much you can do, isn't it?
00:17You will see half your anxiety will start settling down because essentially the conflict
00:23is there are two dimensions within you.
00:46If your mind took instructions from you, would you create anxiety?
00:51No.
00:53So don't look for answers elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere.
00:56It is just that your own physiology and your psychological patterns not taking instructions
01:02from you.
01:03So you… you said so many things, I try… you know, whatever these big words are floating
01:09all over California particularly, about surrendering to it, about letting it go, about…
01:15Not for one person has such a thing worked, ever.
01:20Has it?
01:21I'm asking you.
01:22You have anxiety, try to let it go .
01:26Does it go?
01:28Even a flu… damn flu doesn't go .
01:32Yes or no?
01:34Even a simple cold does not go, you say go, does it go?
01:42So let's not get into this fanciful states of surrendering.
01:47These are all words thrown around, nobody knows what is surrender.
01:53Because when it happens, you will not know it has happened.
01:57You can't do it, I surrendered.
01:59How is that possible ?
02:03So, leaving those things, essentially, as I said, you have not read the user's manual.
02:10Tch, of how this works, we need to pay attention to this.
02:16The system is made in such a way, if you hold your hand like this, it'll work one way.
02:22If you do like this, it'll work another way.
02:24If you do like that, it'll work another way.
02:26It's a phenomenal process.
02:28If it was a simple thing, we could have just beaten it into shape with hammer and anvil, okay?
02:34It's too sophisticated, it's a phenomenally complex machine.
02:40One needs to pay a certain level of attention to be able to use it for what it is designed for.
02:47Otherwise, it'll get itself messed up.
02:50Now, there may be many factors, there may be genetic factors, there may be sociological factors,
02:55there may be growing up issues, you know, various things, but do not ascribe your problems to any of those things.
03:03The important thing is just this, you are not able to have your mind the way you want it.
03:11That's the only problem you have, isn't it?
03:14The moment you ascribe it, I'm like this because my father was like that,
03:18I'm like this because my grandfather's genetics were not okay, you're finished.
03:24Because we can't change those guys now , yes?
03:29You can't choose a different father or a different grandfather now, it's over.
03:37But you can transform this, you must understand, still it doesn't matter you have anxiety disorder,
03:44still if you put a piece of carrot, there is an intelligence here which can transform a carrot into a human being.
03:51That means every day a new body is being manufactured within you, isn't it?
03:57In parts, a new human being is manufactured every day.
04:01When the very source of creation is functioning within you and a new human being is constantly being created,
04:07if you take little charge of that, you can create an entire new physiological and psychological process.
04:17This happened to us some time ago. Last year, we were trekking in Tibet.
04:23I was in a tent, I was doing some work and another person was cutting an apple.
04:32You know one of these porcelain knives these days. So, the other person around says to this person,
04:41it's a very sharp knife, be careful. Still it hurts me a bit. I look like this because he's a grown man.
04:51If it's a child, it's different. Then we have to watch how he uses the knife.
04:56It's a full-grown man and a knife is supposed to be sharp .
05:04If it's not sharp, why do you call it a knife? So, I ignored it and continued to work.
05:12In another two minutes, she says again, it's a very sharp knife, be careful. I said, come on, he's a full-grown man, leave him alone.
05:19He knows how to use this knife. This stupid knife can't handle. It's not some earth-moving machinery or spacecraft or something
05:29that he doesn't know how to handle. It's a knife. She says, no, Sadhguru, it's a very sharp knife .
05:40All right. And I continue what I'm doing. In another two minutes, she whispers to him, please be careful, very sharp.
05:49And another two minutes, he cuts his finger . Then I give up, okay . This is all that's happening.
05:59This is all that's happening with life. You have an intellect for which you don't have a stable enough platform.
06:08Or in other words, you have a sharp knife . I'm sorry, a very sharp knife .
06:16A very sharp knife in your hand, but your hand is not steady . Please see, it's your own mind which is causing all this pain, isn't it? Yes or no? Yes.
06:32So you have a very sharp knife. The sharper it is, the more you cut yourself. So we don't have to blunt the knife.
06:40We just have to have a steady hand, isn't it? Nothing has been done about that. People are trying to blunt the knife with all these sedatives and nonsense.
06:51What you take is to blunt the knife. Blunting the knife is not the answer because if you lower the possibilities of who you are, everything will be okay.
07:01If we remove half of your brain, you will be quite peaceful . Because it takes some brain to cause anxiety .
07:12If we really remove half of your brain, you will be quite peaceful and you may even be happy actually. Nothing bothers you . It will be okay . All right?
07:24But that's not what we are looking for . What a human being is looking for is to become limitless in some way.
07:32And if this has to happen, you have to create a steady platform. Knife need not be taken away. Knife need not be blunted.
07:41Only thing is hand needs to be steadied, isn't it? No process to do that .
07:51What… What inner engineering means, what yoga means is just this. When I say yoga, don't…
07:58Being in California, don't imagine all those impossible postures . Yoga does not mean postures. Yoga means union, okay?
08:08The word yoga literally means union. This is the first form of union, hmm?
08:14You're right and left. This is called as pingala and eeda in yoga. The masculine and the feminine within you.
08:22Just put it together. Just do the simple sadhana, all of you. You can't do any other yoga. This much you can do, isn't it?
08:28What you do is something that concerns your life. It could be the sun coming up. Sun is coming up.
08:36Without sun coming up, you wouldn't exist on this planet, isn't it?
08:40The warmth of life is going on within you only because the sun comes up.
08:45Without the tree exhaling oxygen and you exhaling in carbon dioxide for it and this exchange happening, you wouldn't be alive, isn't it?
08:54Like this, look at it, the food that you eat, the sun, the earth that you walk upon, air that you breathe, water that you drink, people who live around you, whatever, you choose anyone.
09:04Just do this. Put your right and left together perfectly, not like this, not like this, perfectly, okay?
09:12Just look at something that really matters to you. Maybe the sun, maybe the sky, maybe the cloud, maybe a tree, maybe a person, maybe a child, an animal, it doesn't matter what.
09:24Just look at it, putting your hands together for ten, twelve minutes at a stretch, you will see half your anxiety will start settling down
09:33because essentially the conflict is there are two dimensions within you for…
09:39I don't want to go into an elaborate description of this because the yoga physio… the yogic physiology goes elaborately into this,
09:47but to put it simply, even the modern… modern medical science is telling you there is a right brain and a left brain, alright?
09:55Just put these two things together, look at with utmost love and appreciation towards something that matters to you.
10:03It could be your wife, it could be your husband, it could be your child, a tree, a dog, sky, sun, moon, whatever,
10:12every one of them are vital for your life, isn't it so? Yes?
10:17Whatever you can relate to, putting these two things together, just look at them with utmost pleasantness that you can generate,
10:25recognizing how important they are for you. Many things will change.
10:30This is the first form of yoga, if I do this, it'll become difficult and there are many ways to do namaskar like this, like that, like that.
10:38This is the most simple thing. Start here, okay.
