As an ethical, matured human being how I should approach competition?
How I should view competition?
How I should behave and handle that?
As an ethical, matured human being - an ethical human being is a very immature human being.
I want you to know this.
You are holding on to your ethics because you have no consciousness.
Ethics you picked up from outside.
Whatever your society, your religion or your profession something they have put down some
rules.
Maybe they are the norms with which one can function when they don't know how to function.
Now for example, let's say you are a doctor.
There are the ethics of Hippocrates, you know?
That you must serve a person, it doesn't matter your convenience or inconvenience
when somebody is ill, when somebody's life is in danger, you must go and do it.
If you go by these ethics, yes you will go and do it but in the process you will become
sick.
Suppose you're a loving human being.
Yoga means fundamentally...
Today modern science has proved to you beyond any doubt that the whole existence is one
energy, isn't it?
Everything in the existence is one energy manifesting itself in millions of forms
or in other words this and this are same energy.
Now that you are sitting here, suppose for one moment
actually you experienced within yourself that all the people sitting in this hall are actually
a part of you.
Let us say you experienced something like this, not taught; actually you experience
like you experience the ten fingers of your hand; you experienced all these people for
a moment.
If you experience these people like this, after that do I have to teach you morality
and ethics?
Don't harm this person, don't kill this person, don't rob that person, would it
be needed?
Would it be needed?
No.
So yoga means just that, that you experience everything as one.
The word 'Yoga' comes from the word 'Union' where you see everything as one in your experience
because that is the reality.
Only because you have gotten enslaved to the limited dimension of your mind
everything is fragmented in the existence.
Only because you're right now you are basing all your experience through the sense perception
which perceives everything in comparison.
If you want to compare you have to divide.
If you want to compare you have to fragment the world into million pieces otherwise you
cannot experience.
This is the way of the sense perception
because your perception is limited to sense organs you have fragmented the world into
million pieces otherwise you cannot experience it.
So the whole process of yoga is to evolve beyond the sense perception so that you can
experience the existence as one.
Suppose you experienced all these people as a part of you, do I have to teach you ethics?
You will joyfully go and do what's needed and you will not become sick in the process.
Yes or no?
Yes?
So you are always trying to find poor substitutes for truth.
That's the biggest problem.
Now to study in one university you don't have to compete with anybody.
If you are truly interested in knowing what you want to study, you will study to the best
of your ability, isn't it?
Not because your friend is studying, you want to know that's why you study.
When you study like this; your study releases you.
When you study to get one mark more than your friend, you are getting entangled and sick
you are becoming.
You are actually becoming sick in the process, isn't it?
So to do what you want to do well, you don't have to compete with anybody.
What is it that you want to do?
Throw your life and do it.
What has to happen will happen according to your abilities and your capabilities.
Somebody is doing so much if you try to do that you will go mad
or if you compete with somebody, you also limit yourself; you never realize your full
potential.
If somebody is a monkey, you will become a little better monkey than him, that's all.
You will not realize your full potential, isn't it?
You look it into yourself.
What is that you want to do?
Offer your life to it and do it.
What has to happen will happen to the extent your capabilities, your intelligence and abilities
allow you, isn't it?
Why are you working against somebody?
It's not necessary.
And stop achieving things in this world.
There is nothing to achieve.
Do what you love to do with all your heart.
What has to happen will happen, isn't it?
Sadhguru: See, morality
morality has become an important thing in the society
because people have forsaken their humanity.
If your humanity was alive and active,
you would not need any morality.
People have put their humanity to sleep
and trying to behave like human beings with morality
and it's not working
because everybody will come up with his own morality.
And your kind of morality and another person's kind of morality is at war all the time.
What is right and wrong,
if you open this debate you will end up with a fight,
even within your family, believe me.
Yes or no?
No?
If you start a debate as to what is right and what is wrong,
whether it's in your
in the world
or in your neighborhood
or within the family,
fight is inevitable because no two people can agree on what is right and wrong
and it's never been settled ever
because no such thing exists.
Instead of trying to be right,
why don't people try to be sensible?
We need some sense in the planet.
These righteous people are always a trouble.
Once you have a strong set of morals,
you will see nobody in the world is all right.
If nobody in the world is okay,
you have a psychological problem.
The first sign of psychological imbalance is you start thinking,
'Nobody is okay.'
So morality is just that it's the first step towards insanity.
You just have to stretch it;
if you stretch it, you will go there.
Maybe you won't stretch it that far,
you are willing to bend it.
So you manage.
These are substitutes for humanity.
Why is it… our education systems,
our social mechanisms,
we are not doing enough to stir up humanity in a human being,
we are trying to fix it with morality and it's never worked.
All we will do is divide people into different kinds of moral sects
and they will always fight
because nobody can fit into your morality
because even you don't fit in actually.
Unless… you are smart enough to subvert it secretly (Laughs),
you understand?
Otherwise it doesn't work
because morality will not just stick to your profession,
it will enter every aspect of your life.
Once you start thinking what is the right thing to do in my profession,
you will also think what is the right thing to do on all levels of life, isn't it?
Once you start thinking this is the right thing
and somebody else think that is the right thing,
there is going to be a conflict
and a constant conflict.
If you stir up the humanity within you,
you will do the most sensible thing that's needed for that moment
and that's all that matters that
your actions are in context with the realities in which you exist.
And the context is always changing;
if you don't change according to that,
once
People who are moralistic are always looking archaic for the new generation of people,
isn't it?
They wonder why these guy is still alive.
(Laughs)
Yes.
If you're very moralistic,
even your children will wonder why are you still alive,
because you look like you are from somewhere else.
So what is the most sensible thing to do
what brings well-being to you and everybody around you;
this is all one needs to look at constantly.
Is there some way to fix it?
There is no way to fix it.
We have to be alive to it;
we have to be alive to it every moment
and as the context changes,
what we do has to change.
Morality and mortality are not very different.
(Laughter)
