So, Sadhguru, what is a creative mind? Oh. How big an answer do as big as you wanted. The English word mind doesn't say anything because it's just one generic word, which does not describe different dimensions of what the mindless mind is, not just one something sitting here and doing something. OK, there is really no such thing as mine in the yogurt culture. There is no mind. There is a physical body, there is a mental body.

[00:00:55]

Because what you're calling is mind right now is a certain combination of memory and intelligence. There is a memory in your body, more memory in your body than you can imagine. You have to get it again. It's OK. I'm picking on you, OK? You definitely don't remember how your great, great, great, great great grandmother looked like, but her nose is sitting on your face right now. Yes. You don't remember a thing consciously, but your body remembers one hundred percent how ten generations ago your grandmother was your body still remembers a million years ago how your forefathers were.

[00:01:37]

You are still your body remembers, isn't it? It's not forgotten and it's not going to forget. Your mind is not capable of this kind of memory. Your body has a trillion times more memory than your so-called brain. This whole shift towards the brain and intellectual process is a new is a European malaise. They give too much significance to thought. This has happened because they lived under a subjugated society, religiously subjugated society, where you're not supposed to think anything except what's written in some book.

[00:02:13]

Otherwise you're dead. They lived like this for a long time because of this. When they got little freedom to think and manage to live, they started celebrating that thought too much. Let's understand the context of thought. You can only think from the data that you already have gathered. That means you can never think anything new. You can recycle it, you can rehash it, you can produce permutations and combinations of it, but you cannot think something absolutely new.

[00:02:45]

It is not in the nature of the top to come up with something new. It can only recycle the past. That means if you dedicate yourself to your thought process, if you enshrine your thought process, you are ensuring nothing new ever happens in your life. Support need not be celebrated like this. That's why in this culture, part has never been given so much of what you think is your psychological drama. We don't think much about that because it's your drama.

[00:03:16]

Your drama is important for you, somebody else's drama. It's important for them. Everybody thinks their drama is the most important drama in the universe.

[00:03:26]

This is everybody's experience because they're so identified with their own psychological drama.

[00:03:32]

This psychological psychological drama should not determine the nature of your life because this is just a small happening compared to the life process. Life is a much deeper intelligence than intellect.

[00:03:50]

We can look at the yogic system, looks at the mind, a sixteen parts. Those sixteen parts are further broken and they're taken up to eighty four thousand parts.

[00:04:05]

But now we talk about eighty four thousand already the segment which says no. So I will make it four. I'm taking away eighty. OK, I'm being fair to you only for four fundamental parts. One is the intellect which we have in modern world. In today's world, we are unnecessarily giving too much significance to intellect and we will pay an enormous price for this. You will come to your place where you will know everything, but you know nothing of life's significance.

[00:04:37]

Well, today you will see this happening to children for the first time, this generation, you see ten, eleven year old or twelve year old children. They look bored when you are ten, eleven. You did not know what is boredom. It was not possible to do exciting to be alive. And looking around, you will see ten twelve year old children are looking bored because they've seen the cosmos through their phone screen and they know it all. And especially in the western countries.

[00:05:07]

You will see this happening at eight ten. They're really bored.

[00:05:10]

You'll see in the school buses that are sitting on board because by the time you are twelve, you already had one love affair. You know what is a break? You know how to always recover from that. You tasted alcohol use in. There's probably gone into all kinds of physical things and, you know, the cosmos, what more by the time you you're 15, there's really no purpose for you to exist. For many of them, you should not be surprised if this culture continues.

[00:05:44]

I'm not saying this is a prediction. It is something that I see beginning to happen in another 50 or 100 years time. If 25 to 50 percent of the people commit suicide, you should not be surprised because your life needs some exuberance.

[00:06:03]

If too much information happens to you without experience, that exuberance will be gone and a sense of false sense of knowing becomes so strong in you. This is the danger of intellect because intellect wants to intellect wants to dissect everything. Intellect is like a scalpel. The sharper it is, the better it is. It wants to dissect and know. Dissection works with some things, not with all aspects of life. If you want to know the poor frog, you know, you remember the poor frog that you crucified and cut and great knowledge you acquired from all the torture is unbelievable.

[00:06:46]

How much knowledge, you know, for the torture that that frog went through, how much knowledge you have acquired is quite unbelievable.

[00:06:57]

All that you got to know now you got interest. Suddenly you got interested the matter that you had ignored. You want to know your mother today, please get yourself a sharp knife, start the dissection.

[00:07:11]

You may know everything about her liver, kidney, heart, but you won't have a mother left, that's all.

[00:07:18]

So life cannot be known by breaking it up.

[00:07:22]

You can no physical things. By breaking it up, you cannot know life by breaking it into pieces. But this is the nature of the intellect, the whole modern science of the world from human intellect because it's produced technological benefits. You can't argue against it because people, you know, yeah, they think they're scientists. They know nothing about science. They just enjoying their iPhone. They think they're scientists because they can do this. Now, technology is fine.

[00:07:52]

It's brought much comfort and convenience, but it'll not bring life to us.

[00:07:56]

So intellect is like this.

[00:08:00]

Intellect will be useful only depending upon what it is identified with and what is held. What holds this, how steadily.

[00:08:08]

So the next dimension of the mind. The first one is called as Buddha, which is the intellect. The second and scholars are honkala. Angara does not mean ego is that it means the identity. Whatever you identify with, your intellect functions only around that simple. If you just identify with the nation. If you say I'm an Indian, everything Indian looks beautiful. If you cross the border and you say you something else, all that looks beautiful. So whatever you identify with, it's only with that the intellect functions.

[00:08:41]

So Ancora is the identity. How consciously and how steadily your career has been created will determine the effectiveness of your intellect. Just because it's sharp, it does not mean it'll be effective because sharp intellect or a sharp knife can cause any amount of damage to you.

[00:09:00]

If you have a sharp knife and you don't have a steady hand, you will cut yourself all over the place. That's all that's happening. Human suffering is just this. You don't know how to hold this intellect in your hand properly. Every day you're cutting yourself.

[00:09:17]

They're all suffering is self-help because your own mind causing this to you all the time. No matter what happens, people suffer whichever way they suffer because they don't know how to hold this intellect. If you had the mind of an one, you would be quite peaceful.

[00:09:35]

Yes, you're trying to do it in so many ways to reduce the sharpness of the intellect by drink, by drug, by overeating, by doing all kinds of things somehow to take away the sharpness, because the damn thing hurts. It hurts not because that's its nature. It hurts because you do not know how to hold it. The next dimension of the mind is called osmanthus, which is a huge volume of memory. It is not here. Their entire body carries memory.

[00:10:07]

So Manami Yakutia, this is called a huge sack of memory. These memories in various attacks will not go into all the details. Counselling some people. OK, let's decide the clear. No, they don't want to have a mind. I'm sorry. They don't want to know anything about the mind.

[00:10:25]

So the fourth dimension of the mind is called the tip, the tip, that means it's pure intelligence, it is unsullied by memory. It has no trace of any kind of memory. It's just pure intelligence. If you touch this, then you have access to what you are referring to as the source of creation, because all kinds of things might have been fed to you. God is this. God is love. God is compassionate. God is kind of whatever.

[00:11:00]

Somebody can stand on the edge of the stage, say all the prayer you want to say, and. Let me see where the compassion happens to you or a cracked bone happens to you.

[00:11:12]

I would like to check. All right.

[00:11:15]

All these things have been made up because whatever somebody is deprived of, they will attribute that quality to their idea of God. Your ideas of God have come only because you do not know what how this whole creation happened because you don't have an answer.

[00:11:34]

You made it up because you are a human being. You said a big human being is sitting up there or how can you do all this? If somebody asks, he has done hands.

[00:11:44]

So he does a lot of things, not like you, whatever.

[00:11:47]

It's all right for children, but essentially because you do not know how creation happened, you are coming up with explanations. So that which is the source of creation.

[00:12:00]

Don't believe what I say, what anybody says. Pay attention to one piece of creation. Just take a flower. Pay attention to this. Paying attention to leave or an atom or an end. All you will see is phenomenal intelligence beyond anything you can imagine. Yes, but nobody told you God is intelligence. But this culture has said this to you in many ways. They told you to Dakar's, to Dunsborough and so many things to tell you. You should touch your teeth.

[00:12:35]

The whole existence becomes yours. Everything that's worth knowing is right here because you have access to the source of creation. So these are the four types of your four dimensions of your mind. Unfortunately, the modern education things by just feeding information and keeping the intellect reasonably sharp, everything is going to happen.

[00:12:55]

No, you will rip this planet apart looking for wellbeing. You may lose the planet or you may manage to go to another planet and start your work again there. But well-being will not happen. The wellbeing has to happen. You have to dig a little deeper into this one. Otherwise, no.
