So do inanimate things have impact on you? Yes, if you love it, you are the only creature on this planet who's been given the freedom to shape your own life. It is this freedom that human beings are suffering. But good luck. Keep it in the pocket if it's on your finger. Will think of. And they didn't decide when something goes wrong for, let's say someone is not well. So there are three types of people, ones who go to the hospital, then they're the ones who rushed to the temples and they stare at the tall ones when I should astrologers.

So we are actually taught from the beginning that the inanimate objects and things around us have the power to control our lives. For example, of the dog. This, for example, my mother, when two to three years back told me to read ODing, which I did, and I still had it on everyone because, of course, because that's what Mom said. So you need to take it all the way the boys will think. But good luck in the pocket, a bit on your finger.

They will see human life is made in such a way, particularly human life. But all the animals nature has fixed clear cut back what they can do, what they cannot do. Their lives happen within between two lines. They cannot go below that. They cannot go by that within that day. That is why they look so sure and certain and they are peaceful. Once their stomach is full, they are all peaceful. Lucy, this a local.

I don't you talking terms with Manohla. Do you see all the animals once their stomach is full? They are peaceful, but human beings are thinking, are they being taught that peace is the ultimate goal of life, a buffalo full stomach who sits peacefully? And for you, that is the ultimate goal. What a shame. Water buffalo can do with a stomach full of grass or whatever else he eats. You have to hold it as the ultimate goal.

Is it not a shame I'm asking you? But this is being taught like this space is the ultimate goal of your life, but coming to more fundamentals, if you are not peaceful today, can you enjoy your dinner today? No. Can you just enjoy walking down the street? Can you enjoy the company of a few people around? You know, if not ecstatic, at least you must be peaceful to enjoy anything in your life. So I am asking, should it be the first step in your life of the last step in your life?

Such people will only rest in peace. Now, do other things have influence on us, particularly inanimate objects? The gems and the diamonds and things like that and also the planets see the nature of the planet has a certain influence on the life upon it. You will see on full moon days and new days, many animals behave in certain specific ways simply because they're influenced by, you know, the whole ocean is rising when ocean, which is millions and millions of tons of water, is able to rise.

When 72 percent of your body is water. You think it won't rise at all? It does. So I don't know if you're conscious of it, but in India, most people are not only in India and anywhere, wherever there are mental asylums and things, they are conscious of it. On Fulman days and Newman days, people get exaggerated levels of disturbance in their minds. So people think new moon and full moon will cause madness. No, that's not the truth.

If you're very loving full moon day, you will become more loving. If you are very joyful on a full moon day, you will become more joyful. If you're a little crazy, you will get a little more crazy whatever. Your quality gets a little hyped on that day. So those are all romantic. They want full moon day though. They want to meditate, they want full moon day. Those are a little mad. They don't want full moon.

They essentially hyping things up a little bit. Of course, today there is another kind of textbook science which is going on, which doesn't solve anything except what happens in the laboratory. These people are going on saying this is all rubbish. This is that not if you pay attention to your own body, you will know without looking up, without looking at the calendar. You will know when it's full Monday. When is new Monday by yourself? Simply if you have sufficient attention to your own system because it's visible in your system, certain behavior is there.

But with the human being, the problem is, are people seeing it a problem? Any any possibility? If you do not explore that possibility in your eyes, it looks like a problem. What is a problem is always a possibility, isn't it? You don't like it? What is a possibility if you do not explore it, if you do not realize what is a possibility, it seems like a problem to you. So do inanimate things have impact on you?

Yes, if you allow it, because this is the human predicament that who you are is not determined by nature. It is left open for you. Left open for you means you are the only creature on this planet who has been given the freedom to shape your own life. Is it a small thing? This is a product of millions of years of evolution that today, after all these creatures from a single celled animal after this, millions of forms here we are sitting.

This is the only creature which can shape its own life the way it wants. Every other creature has to live by the laws of nature. We can shape our own lives. It is this freedom that human beings are suffering. If you're suffering your bondage, it's all right. If you're suffering your freedom, freedom, you're a disaster, isn't it? You're softening your bandages, you are chained to something, you are suffering that understandable, but you are suffering because you are free.

Most human beings are suffering because they are free. They are always trying to bind themselves to something or somebody all the time because freedom scares them, because freedom is less. But freedom is open terrain. There's no fixed line because there is no fixed pathway. Most people feel terrified. But the highest value in human life is freedom, isn't it? So I look in this culture, the highest value in this culture is not God, not heaven. Mukti Moksha liberation.

Freedom is the highest value established that no matter what you do, you must seek Mukti. You can do whatever you do with your life. But all that process should be towards your liberation. You must be moving towards higher and higher levels of freedom on a daily basis. Otherwise, your life is not worth it because you're getting entangled with the process of life. Even if you go to heaven, it's an entanglement. See, I'm sure before you joined it, you're still keeping Bombi, right?

I see them before you joined it, when you have written your, you know, whatever entrance tests and stuff. Only thing is somehow I want to get in. I want to get in because it's like heaven entering heaven no matter what. I want to get in. That's the only thing I want. After you get in, see how many problems. I'm asking you a simple question, being on this planet, do you have any proof that you are not already in heaven and making a mess out of it?

Huh? Do you have any proof? Suppose you took off from the solar system and looked down at the solar system, whatever, these 12, 14 planets and satellites and works, those planet Earth definitely look like a heavenly body among all this, yes or no. So you're already on heaven and making a mess out of it and now you want to go to another heaven. This culture does not value heaven, does not value gold, values, only freedom.

We want to be even free from the creation. And the creator, Mukti Moksha is the ultimate value because this is not a philosophical value. This is not a religious value. This is something every life is longing for. Only thing is, most human beings are short sighted that they long for it in installments. So whatever people are seeking right now, if they have nothing, they will say if I get 100 rupees per day is that's all I want.

That's a prayer. Hundreds of his fellow hundred rupees. Fine, fine, fine. Three days and it'll be fine for today. Only 100 rupees. What's the problem with you? Are you so stingy at least a thousand rupees a day. Okay. Thousand rupees not. Is it being legal tender. No, no, no. Okay. Two thousand rupees. I don't want to get into trouble with that where is thousands of his followers had to go to?

However, we have two thousand of his fellow. You ask 2000 2012. Wonderful. She was fantastic after ten days, only 2000 rupees. It doesn't matter how much it falls. Something more, something more, something more. This is not about money. People think it's about money. People think it's about wealth, power, pleasure. Allow knowledge. No. These are all different currencies. Essentially, you're looking for expansion because you feel suffocated. If you keep you in the same place for too long, you feel suffocated.

You want expansion. You want to be something more all the time. Yes or no. Always something more. Will you settle with fulfillment? No. You will look at other planets. You look at the new galaxies. So there is something within a human being which wants to expand limitlessly. That means it wants to be free. Nothing else. Looking at this carefully, observing the nature of the life within that, it wants to expand in a limitless way.

The only thing it is longing for is to become boundless. That means it's seeking freedom. That is why in this culture, we have established the highest values, Mukta or moksha, which means liberation or freedom, not heaven, not because heaven is just another place. Maybe little better accommodations, but same trouble after some time, isn't it?
