, that question. Do you know what my handicap is, tch? You want to know? SUPER: A Buddhist Asks Sadhguru a Puzzling Question #Vipassana Speaker: This question is from Decent Diwan. Sadhguru: Wow! Speaker: "Respected guru ji. I am a Buddhist and a

vipassana

practitioner. I have a question that I have asked many vipassana teachers and other gurus, but they all said that no one can answer it.

In one of your videos you mentioned, and it is also said in Buddhism that rebirth is due to our unfulfilled desire or karma. I accept this, but then a question arises. Suppose I was born millions of times, due to my karma and desire, but before me first birth, there was no body, nor. mind, karma, desire or nothing of me existed, then why and how did that first birth come into existence Sadhguru: Now even I wonder about that, about you Well, no, you are a decent guy, I say this! what to do Let's take that question further back.

It's not just about your birth. Well, in yogic culture there are theories that explain in the form of dialectical stories how Siva was like Shava He was inert, with phenomenal energy. inert. Then the energy or Shakti came and danced around him, over him. Then he woke up. Well, you know, we're imagining it as a man and a woman, but we're not talking about that, inert means nothing happens, there's no reverberation. Without reverberation there is no creation; The energy was introduced, the reverb began. From a simple basic reverb it became increasingly more complex. As the reverberations became more complex, they became matter, matter became small molecules, they became planets, planets became many things, life happened, variety of things; you already know the theory of evolution from there.

The theory of evolution only begins after life began or probably at the beginning, but if we go back; creation itself, we may not know the exact trajectory of how it happened, but we know approximately how it happened even according to modern science. So in modern scientific language today they say the same thing: that if you apply energy, not even on it, just around it. Suppose you create a vacuum in a container and apply energy, not to the vacuum, but just around it, virtual protons and neutrons will explode. That means creation begins to happen. The proton and neutron simply have to come together for an atom to form.

Once an atom has happened, creation has begun. Similar things are said in modern science. I don't want to get into theories, but obviously the creation started somewhere. Somewhere means that it may not be within the projections of the human mind in terms of time, because it is not. But in the yogic system it has been estimated that there have been eighty-four creations so far. Eighty-three creations so far, this is the eighty-fourth. And up to one hundred and twelve creation cycles can occur. Beyond that, creation will be free of matter, just pure energy creation. But we're talking in terms of maybe billions or billions of years, I don't know.

But those projections are made. Well, obviously it's just a theory. No one can prove or disprove anything about it. But it seems a plausible theory, because the marks of eighty-three creations are there in our system, in various aspects of life around us, the marks of eighty-three, and this being eighty-four, are there for those who look very good. close up. So how did you, such a decent guy, come about? Okay, so this question doesn't go as far as I took it a moment ago. It's about "If it had no karmic substance, how did it happen?" That is the question.

Well, you don't need a spiritual answer, as Charles Darwin himself has explained. You were a single-celled creature and then you became two-celled. Then you became three cells, then you became multicells. Now you become little more. Just a little more, much better. Decent development has occurred from a single cell. So in the process of the single-celled animal, from an atom to a molecule, right now is a wonderful time to ask this question, because there are viruses. A virus is not a full life. It has proteins and enzymes to convert it into life, but it is not life yet.

Only when it enters your cell does it have life. But in... by itself, it has no life. Only a certain combination of proteins. Very decent (Speaking aside: what Dushyant? Speaker: Diwan). So, you were also pre-life, you became life, you became an increasingly complex life. Complexity itself is karma. Karma is not necessarily – even now that you are sitting here – karma is not necessarily just what you do like this. The thoughts that pass through your mind are karma, the emotions that pass through your mind right now are karma, simply a thought that just passed through your mind. You looked at the person next to you, "What?

Why is he here? He should be on the roof with the monkeys." So, you know, sometimes I think like that. Hello? So this karma just happened unintentionally, not caused by you, but by the monkeys dancing on the ceiling. So, as the monkeys came there, you looked at this guy; From a certain angle, it looked a certain way to you. Maybe it's the lighting, maybe it's the way he sat, maybe something, and a thought came and went. Now you realized a karma, tch, that somewhere you look at another human being and think that he is a monkey.

Now this won't end here, you understand? Now you looked at him and thought, "You're a monkey." Tomorrow we change departments and you are in the monkey department. "My God, I have to work with this monkey today." Will continue. And if we suppose that the situations are posed like this, he is in charge of the department, you have to work under his orders, "Do I have to take instructions from a monkey like this"? He will grow. And that's how you became racist. Alright? Because at first it's just a passing thought. Then, depending on the situations, how they corner you, here, there, there, little by little it multiplies.

This is happening even to all other creatures. Thus, gradually, the karmic substance accumulates, accumulates and becomes more and more complex. Well, clearly the evolutionary sciences tell us that the initial human beings were very simple, half-bent human beings, with a very small brain. They couldn't think much, they just survived like any other creature. Everyone knows that, right? Then from there you build your karma. I don't know why no one could answer this question for you, everyone knows that. Maybe they thought you weren't worth answering. Because I'm so dumb, I don't think anyone is worth answering, because I don't think any question isn't worth answering.

I'm accepting all kinds of idiotic questions from around the world. (Laughter) So right now you are wasting your time very indecently, because these are all questions of vain people, because mainly your questions are towards who they are... I don't know who those people are that you ask questions to, in De Somehow you want to make a fool of them. That's all you're interested in. You are not interested in knowing anything about yourself, you are not interested in having tools for your transformation or growth. You said you went for vipassana. Vipassana means no questions. (Laughter) Simple instruction, just do it, do it, do it and do it, because that is a process that requires perseverance as the highest quality.

Gautama taught vipassana to large groups of people because there was no time to prepare them. Every day he went from town to town, from city to city. There is no time to bring understanding to those people. So without teaching there are no questions. Just simple instructions. Follow the instructions correctly, just do it, do it, do it, little by little it will transform you. It's a bit of a painstaking but fantastic process that, even if you have no idea what you're doing, if you just do it, it will slowly transform who you are. When I say transform you, every aspect of you, including your chemistry.

Little by little it will transform. It is a laborious process, because in those times, you have to understand that he was teaching 2,500 years ago. 2,500 years ago, the common wavelength of society was not intellectual understanding; The common wavelength of the society that lived hard lives was perseverance. People could persevere. Today, to make them persevere you have to talk to them for hours and hours and hours, because they think they understand everything. In those days people didn't have such problems, they knew they didn't understand. So you just had to instruct them and say, "Do it." And... Those were good times for the gurus, because if you give an instruction and say, "You must do it," you just do it.

You know my mother, a yogi from the Nandi hills... She once went to the Nandi hills and she showed me the cave where she was initiated. She gave a... That yogi gave her a mantra, anyway I don't know who she is. And she never had a photo or even talked, you know, she pronounced her name. But every day she did something with her eyes closed. Throughout our lives, we have been her life. You know, four children, the husband is her life, he got married when she was seventeen and that is her life. But before that, she was initiated and this yogi told her, "Whatever happens in your life, you should do it every day." Every day she does something with her eyes closed.

We say, "What are you doing?" Say, "Well, this yogi gave me a mantra, I just do it." We want to know what the mantra is. So we played all kinds of tricks on her, tried to force her emotionally, what... blackmail her: "Tell us this mantra." She was always such a gentle and easy-going person, but not once, no matter what, did she tell her husband or her children the mantra, because the yogi said, "You don't share this with anyone." I mean that It was very easy to instruct them. If I say, "Keep this to yourself," you'll post it on social media. (Laughter/Applause) So, because giving instruction was very effective and simple in previous generations, especially 2500 years ago, Gautama chose this path: no understanding, no teaching, obviously no questions, just do it.

Only those who gathered around him, who traveled with him, who were in close association with him, did he teach shoonya, because that requires understanding. Without achieving substantial understanding, that will not happen. So you went to vipassana. That means you should just shut up and do it, not ask this question, that question, because that question or the answer will not contribute in any way to your practice. The practice has been designed in such a way that no matter who you are, if you do it, it will work. It's just a bit laborious. You have to do it for hours every day for a long period of time, but it will work.

It's a fantastic device for those times. Even now it is for many people. So don't waste your time. The decent thing to do is... If you're here, I don't know where you are. If you are here, follow the instructions and just do it. Otherwise, follow the vipassana and do it. One way or another, take a step forward, instead of staying in the same place and looking around. It won't add anything to your life in any way. It's just that in foolishness you will think that you are clever by putting these things together. Maybe now that I've said what I said, you'll go and tell someone else, "You know what Sadhguru said, this is what it is, not even he knows, tch", (Laughter) or you'll write down your answer and post it on social networks.

Whatever you do, it's of no use. Existentially, if you want to move forward, you must do something existential within yourself. You do psychological things and you think you're going to move on, but you're not. Do you know what my handicap is, tch? You want to know? Being upright and honest is my big disadvantage. Yes. No nonsense, this is my handicap, what do you think? Tell me, "Sadhguru, it's not a disability..." Hey! (Laughs/Little Laughter) Some of my advisors think this is a disadvantage: I'm too direct and direct about too many things, but that's how I will be. you do not like..
