Prediction
What's going to happen in the future.
See...
If....
If my whole thing was to make a prediction
Then why would we do all this work
It doesn't matter how bleak the situation
looks like now.
But don't ever underestimate what is in the human heart
What people really want. Don't underestimate that
In ten years time
the whole world may just be changed into a complete different possibility
You Know?
It is just that people need sufficient poking to get them going
But when they get going, you don't know what they can do
They can do something that's never happened on the planet till now
Isn't it?
Isn't it so?
So..
Don't try to predict future
See what kind of future do you want to create
Why are we always trying to predict future
I want you to set a goal
before I die, I want to leave the world at least this much better
Wouldn't that be better?
Instead of predicting future
Why don't you set a goal for yourself
Before I leave this world, I will make it at least this good
If all of us set a goal like that
Definitely there is a wonderful future ahead
Isn't it?
We are hoping from the stars some guidance will come
Stars are dumb inanimate rocks
OK?
You are supposed to have brains and intelligence
They don't have all that
They are just far away
But they are just dumb unintelligent rocks
Isn't it so?
Yes or no?
Just because they are far away we don't have to attach such importance to them
They are not guiding our lives
Human destiny is in human hands
How we handle it, that's what it will become
If you handle it sensibly, definitely there is a wonderful tomorrow
If you handle it foolishly definitely there is going to be a terrible tomorrow
Isn't it?
So don't predict.
Predictions means an insult to humanity
All predictions are a terrible insult to humanity
Isn't it?
Isn't it so?
That means there is no value
for what a human being is
All this nonsense is happening simply because
you have not realized the immensity of being human
How big it is to be a human being
has not been realized
The very wonderful stories in India. You must have heard
In India there are stories like this
If Gods have any problems
They get into trouble
They will come down to meet the sages and saints
For advice and consultancy
You know that?
This is just to tell you
A human being can raise himself to such a stage
That even the Gods will have to seek advice from him
Just to tell you, the immensity of being human
What it means
So..
If you realize the immensity of being a human being
Then you won't predict, you will create
You just have to create, not predict
