I sat down with my eyes closed,
for about little more than an hour,
when I came out, my asthma left me,
never to come back again.
And, above all my fractured leg was perfectly ok,
in little more than an hour's time,
Armed with this experience,
I started creating methods and systems through which
every human being could access that intelligence,
and that capability within this system,
which can make a piece of bread into a human being.
This intelligence, and this competence, within the human system,
which is not just about thought process,
exists in every human being,
but unfortunately remains untapped.
And, I went about creating systems,
that people could make use of today,
these technologies for inner well being,
these methods to engineer your interiority, the way you want it,
millions of people are making use of it,
enjoying the benefits of that,
but, the essential part of this is,
that there is such a high level of intelligence and competence,
on every millimetre of the body,
every point of the body,
not just in the thought process,
This is completely untapped, by human societies.
There are ways to do this.
and, as I went into this process,
what I saw was, "What is it that determines, what is me and what is not me"
I am capable of taking a piece of bread and making it into myself.
If I look at this body, it is just a piece of this planet,
that I have borrowed,
but why is this seperate, and this(body) is seperate.
Then, I found that it is just the boundaries of sensation,
which determines what is me and what is not me.
Here, there is sensations, so, this is me.
There seems I don't feel the sensations so that is not me.
As I looked at this boundaries of sensation,
very very closely from within myself,
this was a space of my life where most of the time,
I remained with my eyes closed.
I realised that the boundaries of sensation,
can either be stretched, expanded
or even made smaller than what it is right now.
You can sit here and not feel anything that's happening here right now,
this happens in sleep to some extent.
or, you can sit here and extend your boundaries of your sensation,
for this whole hall.
And, anything that is within the boundaries of your sensation,
you will always experience as myself.
There is a glass of water here, and this is not me.
that's very clear.
but, if you drink it, you just included it into
the boundaries of your sensation, and that becomes you.
So, if you throw the boundary of your sensation out,
in an expanded form,
you can sit here, and experience everybody in this hall,
as your self.
You can stretch it further,
experience the very cosmic scape,
like you experience your own body.
This sense of inclusiveness,
if it comes into you,
when this came into me,
I suddenly realised that to be loving is not somebody's teaching,
to be compassionate, is not an idea,
to be in empathy, is not some esoteric principle.
This is the way, a human being is made.
If only, he does not constipates his consciousness,
with limited identifications, with things that he is not,
if you do not identify with anything,
that you have accumulated over a period of time,
including your body and mind,
every human being is capable of this.
when it comes to external situations,
each one of us are differently capable.
But, when it comes to inner situations,
every one of us is equally capable.
No human being is better endured than the other,
when it comes to the inner one.
It is only in the external situations,
that, we are all differently capable.
If this inclusiveness, enters human life,
if you can sit here and experience people around you
as yourself, I don't think I have to teach you to be good.
I don't think I have to teach you to love.
I don't think I have to teach you to care.
Because, caring for this one is very very natural.
This is ingrained within the very nature of the existence.
This inclusiveness definitely has to touch humanity.
So, this became my life, my work and my endeavour,
to develop methods so that people can experience
this inclusiveness. If this inclusiveness is experienced by humanity,
particularly by the leadership,
People who veiled power and different aspects of responsibility in the world,
definitely, we could find solutions for everything,
because, today, we as a generation of people,
this is very significant,
for the first time, we are capable of addressing every human
problem on this planet .
Of nourishment, health, education, ecology, you name it,
we can address it all.
We have the necessary resource, capability
and technology for the very first time.
But, are we going to do it, simply depends upon
how inclusive is our experience of life.
If you stand here, and you experience this planet as yourself,
I don't think, I have to tell you "Take care of it."
Every human being would do his best,
When we donot have this inclusiveness,
what we could do, we will not do.
In our lives, if we donot do what we cannot do,
that is not the problem.
But, if we donot do, what we can do,
we are a disaster.
My hope and my work is just to see that we as a generation
of people, donot become that kind of a disaster,
that what we can do, we will definitely do.
And right now, what we can do,
compared to what we could do, 100 years ago,
is so incredibly different.
So, incredibly different.
But what's missing is an all inclusive consciousness,
all inclusive experience of life.
If only, we bring this about, in the leadership,
in the people, only then we will seek solutions,
that are relavant for all,
otherwise, we will go about dabbling, creating
in the name of creating solutions, we go about creating
more and more problems.
If we truly have to create solutions, relavant for all,
an experience of absolute inclusiveness has to happen to humanity,
and its possible.
Thank you very much.
