You must understand that engineering means essentially to make things happen the way we want.

That’s engineering, isn’t it?

To engineer this building means what?

We want it the way we want it.

We can go and sit under a tree.

But we choose to build this building because we want to sit under something engineered the way we want it to be, and it’s suitable for us so that we are conditioned the place, in terms of temperature in a certain way and all this.

But is it not also important that you engineer this the way you want it?

The outside is air-conditioned, and the inside is boiling.

What’s the point?

I’m saying the power has been wasted on you.

In the last 100 to 150 years, with the advent of science and technology, we had more comforts and conveniences than any generation ever could imagine, isn’t it?

We are the most comfortable generation ever, physically and materially.

However, can you say that you are the most peaceful generation?

Are you the most joyful, loving, or intelligent generation?

No. That would be the wrong thing to say he/she is intelligent, which amounts to foolishness, isn’t it?

The significance of intelligence is that it shows you how many loopholes are there in your intelligence, isn’t it so?

Only full things that there are no loopholes.

A truly intelligent person always sees how many loopholes in my intelligence.

The significance of being in a technological institute is not about just getting qualified to get some job somewhere, or a passport out of the country.

It should become a way of creating life, making life happen, better than the way it is happening right now, isn’t it so?

Because it’s a fundamental responsibility that we have as a generation of people.

Because we occupy this space on the planet for a short brief time

When the last generation gave this planet to us, whichever way they gave it to us, it’s our business that when we leave it, we leave it a little better than the way we had it. It’s very important.

How better, or in what way better, you can decide.

I won’t say only ecologically better, but in every way better.

It must be better than the way we have got it, which means we have to engineer ourselves to fit in such a way that a well-engineered machine with the least amount of friction (摩擦), isn’t it so?

Heavy friction means it’s badly engineered, isn’t it so?

Can this be understood?

So the fundamental of Yoga is in the geometry (幾何學) of the physical.

existence.

If you understand the geometry of what this human mechanism is, the body is, the psychological structure is, the chemical processes are, etc., you become capable of observing the cosmic geometry.

And if these things are well-aligned, suddenly, your life hits off like magic.

Your life would be no more a miserable drag, but magic, simply because you have got the right geometry of things.

Anything that is geometrically perfect will function absolutely smoothly for a very long time, for sure.

This is something that you do to yourself, especially when you are young.

It doesn’t matter what you want to do in your life.

One thing must happen that your body and your brain should not come in your way, instead, they must work for you. Yes?

Never should your body or your mind comes the way of who you want to be. (頭腦和心智不應障礙生命)

Right now, for most people, they themselves are a big issue (自己就是大麻煩). to

When you are an issue, how will you address the issues in the world?

If you really want to address the issues in the world, this one should never be an issue, isn’t it so?

I’m not the issue here.

I’m never the problem.

If there are problems, I’ll deal with them, and I’m never the problem myself, and this must happen

Please yourself like this that you are never the problem, and you are always a part of the solution, never a part of the problem.

Right now, we have developed a certain attitude in India, a whole lot of people, for every solution, invent a problem at the same time as well.

So there are people working for problems and there are people working for solutions.

Young people should stand up and become a solution for the future generations to come and have their own life to blossom because the greatest fulfillment in one’s life is that you function in such a way that you could do something which is much larger than yourself, and this highest fulfillment must happen.

The highest activity of fulfillment that’s something much larger than yourself that you are able to do.

Only then you can see the fulfillment in the activity you do.

The activity is one thing, but the most important thing is how you are.

People come to me like you’re studying in the field of IT, and say that IT is a problem right now, so I’m invited to IYC (Isha Yoga Center).

They say, Sadhguru, these are people who just passed out (畢業).

Some of them said that “My mother-in-law is some other species, coming from another planet, you know. And just don’t know how to live with such a person”, “My husband, her son, after all”, “My wife is impossible”, “My boss is not even human”, etc, something like this goes on.

Then I told them not to worry because none of them came here, so they were protected.

Like IYC, the place is well-protected, and the food is also good, so you just come to stay,

You don’t have to do anything, just be joyful. Ant that’s all.

None of that will torture you.

In 24 hours, you’re alone in this room.

But you should witness how many ways they twist themselves out.

If you’re alone, and you are miserable, it’s obvious that you are in bad company, isn’t it so? (沒有別人,就是自己害自己受苦)

Nobody is with you, then who makes you miserable?

Nobody, but yourself, isn’t it?

So all young people should do this to themselves, at least 3 days, or 1 week, you should come and stay here, and I will provide you food and everything.

You spend some time, without any purpose at all really.

If you can sit for 3 days, with no TV, no book, no texting, simply by yourself, let’s see what happens then.

You should know the nature of who you are.

You should not go dodging yourself and some day, you’ll explode into something.

You must know what level of madness you are suffering.

When I say madness, it refers to that your mind is out of your control.

s madness, by definition, like this?

Your mind is not taking instructions from you, and it’s out of control, is it called madness?

Yes?

Just try this.

After this activity, try to stay and sit quietly in your room, for 3 days, just see what your mind is mad about, and you decide and don’t tell anybody what level of madness you’re going through.

After this and you enter the world, what will you create?

You will only create who you are, isn’t it?

You can’t do anything other than who you are, isn’t it?

Who you are is what happens to the world around you, isn’t it?

Before you step into the world, is it important at least you have this equipped that you are not the problem.

If you are the problem and get married, we’ll see, but you’re not the problem after all

Can you make this to yourself, young people, that you are not the problem?

You are not the issue in your life.

When other’s issues come, we will deal with them to the best of our capability, but this should not be the issue, isn’t it?

This can be easily done. It’s a very simple process that you invest 20 minutes a day, you can bring this possibility into your life. It’s just that you need a certain orientation because life is continuously going outwards, to turn it inwards, it needs a certain help and situation. It has to be created to make it happen, and we are very willing to do that with you.

It’s my wish and my blessing that this should happen to every youth in this country (India) because the people of India have suffered immensely. We can’t just continuously live like this, thinking that everything is okay.

It’s time that we have the living humanity, that our hearts beat for everything, our hearts bleed for everything, and we will do the best we can do.

In our life, if we can’t do .what we can’t do, there is no problem, but if we don’t do what we can do, there are disasters in life, isn’t it?

It’s my wish and blessing that you should not be the disaster.
