So,

Sadhguruji,

Then what is it?

Okay,

So for all of us,

How do we live our days?

What is the best way to just go about it?

Give us a clear,

Simple,

Simple sentences,

Do this and you will be at least on the way to be blissful or happy or aware or living in a nice conscious way.

If you just observe,

If everybody makes a little effort,

Everybody take a little time for this piece of life,

Okay?

Not for your family,

Not for your career,

Not for something else,

Something else,

Just for this piece of life,

Give it little time because this is the most important piece of life in your life,

Isn't it?

Yes or no?

Participants – Yes.

Yes.

Even if you are in love with somebody,

Still this is the most important piece of life,

Isn't it?

So pay some attention to this,

How does it happen?

Why have you taken it for granted?

Believe me,

You are not going to be here forever.

I'll bless you with a long life but you are going to fall dead one day.

Yes or no?

Participants – Yes.

Yes.

So,

Do not take this for granted.

If you wake up in the morning,

Tomorrow if you wake up in the morning… No,

This is not my wish but I want you to know,

Of all the people who go to bed tonight,

Over a million people will not wake up tomorrow morning.

And tomorrow,

If you and me wake up tomorrow morning,

Is it not a fantastic thing?

A million people did not wake up.

You woke up.

Is it not a great thing?

Just look at the ceiling and smile,

You are still awake.

You're still there.

And for many,

Many millions of people,

Somebody who is dear to them did not wake up.

So just check those five,

Six people around you,

They all woke up.

Wow,

It's a fantastic day.

You woke up and everybody who matters to you around you woke up.

Is it not fantastic day?

You don't think so?

Yes.

Yes.

You don't seem to think so because the problem is just this,

You are living with an idea that you are immortal.

When I say you are immortal,

You are not actually thinking you are immortal but you are not conscious of your mortality.

If you are not conscious of your mortality,

Somewhere you think you are immortal,

Isn't it?

But at any moment in a day,

Are you conscious that you are mortal?

If you were conscious,

Would you have time to crib?

Would you have time to fight with somebody?

Would you have time to do some rubbish with your life?

If you knew,

If you are conscious that you are mortal,

You would do nothing other than what is absolutely needed for you and everybody around you.

This one thing if you do,

If you just remind yourself,

You don't think this is a negative thing,

Death is not a negative thing,

It's the only thing which has added value to your life.

If you are here forever,

You would be unbearable.

Yes.

Yes.

Isn't it… aren't we glad everybody dies one day?

If you just become conscious of this one thing that always you are conscious that I am mortal,

You don't have to think I will die today,

We don't intend,

We want to live as far as possible,

Just you know one day I will die.

If you are just conscious of this one thing,

You will naturally become spiritual.

Every day,

Every moment if you remind yourself,

This is a brief life.

I am mortal,

One day I will end.

Just do this for two days and see,

You will become something truly fantastic within yourself,

Just this is all.

That is simply beautiful.

That's all that's needed.

If you want to know the value of life,

Just know that it's a brief happening.

Thought provoking. Definitely falls into the category of "yeah i know that, realistically how much do I believe it". Better said, an espoused belief versus an enacted. Thank you

I love this track!!, knowing that I am mortal allows me to let go of the small things and focus more on my heart, joy and gratitude for big and little things

I find this talk interesting because I would assume that most understand the concept of mortality and it seems like such a glaringly obvious concept. Although, attesting to my own experience, I very rarely give awareness to mortality. It’s so easy to take this life for granted especially when feelings of overwhelm are involved. But to grab ahold of and maintain a state of love, joy, and gratitude, it is so helpful to go back to the basics of acknowledging that am blessed to be alive another day and another moment.
