(laughs)
Was that clear ? Yes, yes. Ok.
Now, when you talk about self development,
we are not talking about self development here.
Self cannot be developed.
What you are referring to as Self cannot be developed.
It is not something that you can develop or you can put it down or anything.
Its just that its been, its been lost.
You have lost contact with it. So getting in touch with it
in case it takes a lifetime, in case, not necessarily
(laughs) In case it takes a lifetime, how much time do i give for that,
and how much time to do other things? What are the other things
you do?
(laughs) Other important things. Ok.
(laughs) So the other things you do in your life
will I have enough time for it?
You shouldn't do any other thing.
Do you understand?
Everything, everything that you do
should be towards enhancing your own nature.
Now, you are doing family,
you are doing work. All this things you are doing,
everything can be used as a spiritual process.
It is not that in 24 hours time
this many hours spirituality,
this many hours materialism, this many hours family. Not like that.
Every step, every breathe, every moment of your existence
can be used for your development
of who you are. So,
this is full time.
(laughter) And in that what activity
you wish to do, you do whatever you want,
what is the problem. Because what we are
talking about is of inner nature.
What the other things you are talking about external, isn't it ?
So whatever you are doing, you are using everything as a process of growth.
Everything.
So, this does not mean
doing yoga does not mean, morning yoga, evening yoga,
rest of the time you do stupid things. No.
It's 24 hours yoga. Only yoga nothing else but yoga.
Whatever you do you make it into your yoga .
Every single act in your life you make it into a process
of growth. Only then it will work.
Part time spirituality doesn't work.
Now,
will this take me away from this or that ?
Not necessarily, not at all.
Because, millions of people who have done the program are all people
who are involved in variety of activity.
Just a hand full of people are full time into it.
Because some people need to do it full time. Yes ?
Suppose, I also pursued some other profession
and you know
only in my vacation I thought, Inner Engineering
(laughter) you wouldn't be here today. Isn't it ?
Yes ? So few people
take it up full time because they see that's their choice.
They want to do that . And when you can
go to the office and do software programming
or management or something.
Why cant you go out and teach something?
Its not that you have to take it up.
I am saying for an individual person. What is the problem?
Somebody chooses that. So only
thing is, only criteria that may be disturbing
people is, they are not making money.
No, no, I will come. (laughs)
So that's not going to disturb you. Then no problem.
You are doing what you want to do.
You either choose to go to this job or that job or that job.
Isn't it ? So with Isha yoga
if you come, is stead of working 5 days a
week you will end up working 7 days a week.
That's the great change that you will have. Because you experience
your whole life as a vacation. (laughs)
You learn to experience your work as vacation,
then, you are always on vacation.
(laughs) So will this take me away
from something ? This doesn't take you away from anything.
It enhances your life.
But, if you choose to
get it after sometime, you will retire from your job. Isn't it?
When you retire is the question of your choice.
Isn't it so ? Somebody goes out fishing,
somebody goes out meditating, somebody goes out
dancing, somebody goes out drinking.
Is individual choices they are making isn't it ?
Right now unfortunately,
people like you
(laughter) Yes. (laughs)
who are, see because most of you I am telling you
You are only first a second generation
of educated people
in your, this thing. So you are just thrilled about a few things
that you have excess to.
If you are tenth fifteenth generation of educated people in your family
you would have total disdain for education,
doing well and all this non-sense. Yes?
Because you are only first second generation of having excess
You think that's everything. But your children won't think so.
You will see this. your children wont think so
because right from their childhood they have seen all this non-sense
and it doesn't mean much to them when they grow up.
Yes? So,
what you choose is just individual choices. Isn't it?
Dose doing this necessarily means talking a way?
Not at all. People always ask me, Sadhguru, What is the mission?
So I jokingly tell them my mission to plant under cover yogis.
(laughter)
So, today I can , I can very proudly say
I have planted many people
who are in pick of yogic experience, but they are managing banks,
they are managing corporations, they are
you know they are house wives, they are all under cover yogis. (laughter)
You understand? They are not dressed like Yogis. They don't look like yogis
but they are all experientially they are very much yogis
but undercover. (laughter)
(Clapping)
So you want to be undercover Yogis or over?
(laughter) Undercover. Ok.
That's fine That's my mission too.
(laughs)
