when we say food we are talking about the material with which we build up we
will this body right now physically what we consider as ourselves is essentially
a heap of food that we have eaten so how can we not pay attention to this because
it is the building material with which we are building this body and when we
build something we must know towards what purpose we are building it if you
want to build this building however wonderful the design is the material
that goes into it makes the difference so the design may be great but what kind
of material we actually structured this body with makes a whole world of
difference right now largely in every culture people are eating the way they
are eating because our fathers and mothers aid that way our grandfathers
and grandmothers ate that way and it goes back we need to understand when
they ate that way they did not have options it was food was about survival
they ate what was locally available and what they ate on that they became the
next days culture but today we have come to a place where wherever you are in the
world you're in Doha but you're eating fruit and fresh vegetable which I'm sure
100 years ago nobody ever taste it so now we have choices it is time to
consider what is it that should go into our system first of all what is
objective in the yogic culture we have this if you want to be a menial laborer
you want work 10 12 hours a day physically you
must eat one way you want to be an athlete you want to eat another way you
want to be a warrior you must eat another way you want to use
your brain you must use another way you want to be loving and nice you must eat
another way like this for different objectives we differently so bringing a
little bit of awareness about this whatever I say now is not hard and fast
do's and don'ts this is about conducting our life more consciously every aspect
of our life whatever we do if we simply move our hand like this unconsciously it
moves one way if you move this consciously it moves another way if you
simply throw words out it happens one way if you throw these words how it
consciously it happens another way sim similarly if you simply throw food it
happens one way if you consciously take it in it happens another way so the idea
is to bring awareness and consciousness to every aspect of life including the
food which is an important part wood may not be for many people a deciding factor
because their life may not be so precise in requirement but definitely plays a
significant role for example you know taking myself as an example the level of
activity that happens in our day-to-day life we have seven days of the week 365
days working 20 hours a day at least for almost 25 years I managed with only two
and a half hours of average sleep per night
now I'm getting little lazy and I'm stretching it to four acts or sometimes
a little more the choice is this do you want to live have we come here to live
an experienced life or have are we here to somehow avoid life and one day
if you're sleeping 8 to 10 hours a day in 24 hours that means you are
effectively sleeping away 45 to 50% of your life
so whether instead of living for if you live for 100 years you're actually awake
only for 50 years of your life which is a sheer waste of life so this must be
very clear are we here to experience and know the vibrance of life in its fullest
depth and dimension or are we here to somehow pass it then be done with it so
only if you are concerned about making life happen at its highest possible
level then what you consume becomes an important part of this there are many
ways to look at this in a brief amount of time that we have it could lead to
confusions if I go into very sophisticated way of looking at things
to come down to something very simple if you look at any machine when I say a
machine we have seen all of your deeply engrossed in your cell phones and seeing
whether you take a cell phone as a simple machine it's not simple for you
or you take a car or a computer whatever all of it needs some kind of energy to
perform let's take a car as an example suppose you take a petrol driven car and
put diesel into it it may still manage a little bit but it will not function at
its optimum in this way if you look at it this machine the human mechanism is
the gadget on the planet it is the highest and the most sophisticated
machine on the planet that we have known any number of machines are there but
nothing comparable to this one this is the most sophisticated machine
we're still not able to figure out a single molecule of DNA has to have it
functions with all our brain we still can't figure it that's how complex and
sophisticated it is when you have such a machine
how you conduct it becomes very very important it is so subtle the very way
you sit and stand affects the way it functions shall we do a little
experiment with you hello shall we do a little experiment with you
if you're willing to sit up with your spine erect you keep all the five
fingers five fingers together that means you must keep you from down if you keep
your five fingers together and place it upon your thigh gently placed do not
press gently placed what we will do is don't do it right now look at me holding
it upon your thigh like this with your eyes closed
breathe slightly deeper than normal watch how you normally breathe slightly
deeper than normal and notice how the air fills up into your lung or in other
words where is the maximum expansion and contraction observe this as you're doing
this I will say switch with your eyes closed without breaking the rhythm of
your breathing just turn it over and again when I say switch get back in
these two positions something very fundamental about your breath will
change I want you to notice what is the change and you must be able to tell me
you will be able to notice this only if your spine is erect your eyes closed and
your mind is focused on your breath shall we do this please close your eyes
all the fire fingers together gently placed upon your thigh slightly deeper
than normal just inhale and exhale noticing how the air fills up into your
lungs your eyes closed
switch turn your hands over
switch again
please open eyes dude only some change between the trip can you tell me what
city mm-hmm okay what is happening and what she said is when you hold the palm
facing down you will feel the expansion more in your diaphragm region when you
do this suddenly most little higher up in the
chest why this is happening is among the three lobes in the lung if you keep your
hand facing down the maximum expansion and contraction happens in the lower
lobe of the lung if you just turn it around it moves to the middle lobe of
the lung this is just by turning your hand over the very way you breathe is
altering itself it's not just the breath the very way the life--and is function
in the body are altering themselves simply because you turn your hand over
how many times in a day unconsciously do you do this now you are
sitting yourself into your turmoil and hoping to be peaceful life does not work
like that on this planet this is like you sit in your car you don't know what
these three pedals are kick any one of them whenever you feel like it and you
know what a jerky driver you will be right now please see this this is what
is happening it is not that you do not know pitch in your life it is not that
you do not know joy or ecstasy in your life it is not that you do not know love
in your life you know all these things but none of them are still there it's
jerky because the driver is ejected because the driver knows nothing about
the machine you have been gifted with the most sophisticated mechanism in the
universe we know and you're handling it like it's a crude thing so once you have
a machine like this it's important what kind of fuel is going into the system
when we say what kind of fuel what kind of fuel is this machine designed for as
I said there are many many ways of looking at it the simplest way is
Elementary cannot from the mouth to the anal outlet digestive process
happens on many different levels now what kind of food is this digestive
system designed for if you look at the animal kingdom largely in the world
there are carnivores and herbivores whether animals which eat vegetable
material and those which eat meat between these two corner walls and her
name herbivores there is a significant difference in the way their bodies are
constructed and particularly their elementary canal which is the digestive
process one basic thing is to start with if you look at all the herbivorous
animals they have incisors in the front cutting teeth and molars at the back
which are grinding teeth the corner various animals have incisors not so
well-developed molars and they have two extra pairs of canine that is if you
want to eat meat in nature to tear the meat and eat you need this extra pair of
teeth somehow please check you don't have them and if you check the your
moment of herbivores and carnivores all the coordinates have only cutting action
in their jaw moment they have to just cut their smoke pieces and eat it all
the herbivorous animals have cutting and grinding action because you're supposed
to grind your food why this design difference is if you ever put a little
bit of rice in your mouth and leave it there for a minute and close your eyes
and observe will notice the rise will turn sweet raw eyes will turn sweet in
your mouth because the carbohydrates are being converted into sugar right here in
your mouth region because there is a certain enzyme called Talon in your
saliva which every herbivorous animal has which starts the digestive process
in the mouth region itself none of the corner Burress animals have
this so they only cut and eat swallow their food rewards are supposed to chew
their food and eat if you go looking further the length of the elementary
canal if you look at it in all the corner
various animals it's only three times the length in all the corner burrows
into all the vigorous animals the length of the elementary canal is approximately
five to six times the length of your body do you know what is the length of
this pipe running through your body no there are doctors I'm sorry it is
anywhere between 24 to 30 feet which is approximately 5 to 6 times the length of
your body so in this kind of elementary canal if you put the duration of time
that a particular food item takes to pass through if you put wrong to the
system each will take anywhere between 70 to 72 hours to pass through the
system if you cook if you put cooked meat into
the system it will take 48 to 52 hours to pass through the system if you put
cook to vegetarian meals it will take 24 to 30 hours to pass through the system
if you put an uncooked vegetable it will take 12 to 15 hours to pass through the
system if you put a fruit it will take 1/2 3 hours to pass through the system
if you keep raw meat outside in summer for 72 hours what happens similar things
happen in your body or in other words enormous amount of rotting process
happens an excessive bacterial activity is taking taking place within the body
keeping this bacterial levels lower in the body becomes the biggest function
that the body is functioning and doing right now which makes one I see that
with regular lunch dinner these everywhere either coffee or worse coke
is being served because without that most people will fall asleep on the
table because that is the nature of food that we are consuming the level of
inertia that this food is creating is such now all the doctors particular
rests are saying minimum 8 hours you must sleep
sleep is not a requirement in the body restfulness is a requirement in body
when I say restfulness right now I am standing walking and speaking but if you
check my pulse on an empty stomach you will see my pulse will be somewhere
between 36 to 44 right now it may be in the range of around 50 if body is going
at an easier pace the rest that it demands in terms of shutting down will
come down considerably it's like you have a car which needs 15 days in a
month it needs to be serviced you could as well walk ride a bicycle you know if
it needs one day in a month service alright if it needs 15 days servicing
servicing in one month's time it's not worth having that is how one will begin
to feel about their own body when it needs too much servicing you wonder why
the hell you are here that thought will very easily come when you when the body
pulls you down people will wonder why I here what am I doing this questions will
businesswomen who have big plans in their life
the most important thing is have a vibrant and alert body which is willing
to do what you want which is willing to stay awake which is willing to wake up
when you want it doesn't fall asleep in the middle of something it's very very
important to have an alert in agile body now nourishment problems are there so
living in a desert if I just depend on vegetables after all everything has to
come from somewhere I may not have enough nourishment that problem is there
so if nourishment is a problem if we have to eat some kind of non-vegetarian
the best way to eat it is what is furthest away from us in the
evolutionary scale we must eat that the closer they are to us the more
information to process when I say more information to process right now you
understand you need to stand this that your body is forming itself
the way it is forming itself only because of a certain level of memory and
information that it carries when I say memory and information people think
memory and information is in their mind know what your mind carries is a
miniscule a body carries a trillion times more memory than you can imagine
for example Michele do you remember your great-great-great great-grandmother how
she looked no you don't remember half your great-great great-great grandmother
looked but her nose is sitting on your face right now because your body
remembers your body remembers how your forefathers were a million years ago
it is not forgotten you might have forgotten but your body remembers
there's a phenomenal amount of memory in every cell in this body and similarly
the more evolved a particular creature is the more complex it has become the
more distant to absorb and make it a part of itself so suppose you eat an
animal which has emotions the moment you consume an animal with empty ins the
complexity of information in that animal is such that it will not integrate
easily into our system if you eat an animal which does not have so much
thought and emotion its ability to retain its own structure is very minimal
and it integrates itself into our body as a part of ourselves very easily so
when we consume something this is the fundamental criteria that we want to eat
something which is a simple life without consuming some life you cannot exist
here whether it's a plant vegetable fruit animal everything is life now the
idea is to consume a simpler life which has less capability of thought and
emotion the more capability it has your ability to integrate that will become
less or in other words the nature of that animal will start manifesting
within ourselves in some ways it is not that if
the camera will come a camel tomorrow morning but over a period of time a
little camel istic trends can come so unless when somebody is extraordinarily
physically active they are able to manage this to some extent as physical
activity comes down how consciously you eat makes a world of difference a human
being need not be serviced for eight hours a day if only if he or she eats
properly the kind of food substance which easily integrates into the system
the kind of food substance that will not create inertia but it will create
dynamism the kind of food substance which will not need to stay in the body
for long periods of time something that passes through the system quickly
coordinates animals have a short elementary can all because meat prices
through the system slowly herbivores have a long elementary canal because
visible matter passes through the system very quickly and we have a long
elementary canal and the purpose of a long elementary canal is a more complex
process is possible when a more complex process is possible what it means is the
quality and the nature of the food in some way impacts us in character in the
way we are in the way we think emote and behave within our cells and around us
so how consciously we consume food and how conscious we are as to how food
behaves within us if you are conscious enough if something appears in front of
you you will simply know whether to eat it or not eat it if that kind of
awareness is not there one has to have function by information as two different
foods how they behave and do not behave I was speaking to a medical group in our
in United States and I told them the way America is eating right now if you
change the way you're eating you can bring down 60% of the incidence of
cancer in this country simply if you change the way
you're eating because you're eating food which is one on an average about 45 days
old in the yogic culture if anything is cooked within one and a half hours you
must consume it from this Tao straight to the plate
always I'm sure in this culture also it was like that till recently so as you
keep the food and it starts deteriorating
if you eat deteriorating food and then you're wondering why your own body cells
are working against you that cannot be healthy we are spending billions of
dollars in research for the ailments we have created we need to understand this
every human cell every cell in this body is essentially programmed for health but
right now 70 of the ailments on the planet or chronic or in other words they
self created there are infectious diseases which are an invasion from
another organism that has to be dealt with medicine all the chronic ailments
whatever it is is manufactured from within I would our own body manufacturer
ailment for us simply because without understanding the fundamentals of how it
functions and one important part of it is what we consume and how we consume if
we change this one aspect as to what we are consuming and how we consume it
health could be a natural process for most people I would say 60 to 70% of the
population will never get help if only there is a little more conscious
way of eating on this planet if you have questions please
hello thank you for a very inspirational speech I have two problems chocolate and
cigarettes and I know I need to stop them but what is your advice for me to
have more self-control thank you a cigarette is not a food stops I will
leave it alone about chocolates it happened one day on
the Florida beach and man walking and he found a lamp a kind of a lantern which
was sticking out of the sand he took it out and just to check what it is took
his shirt and just wiped it and lo a genie arrived you heard the story before
so the genies had three gifts whatever you want three boons I will give you
what do you want he said Wow I want to read Ferrari right there on
the beach a red Ferrari arrived then he said wow this is for real I want million
bucks 1 million dollars in the backseat then his head what is the third one he
thought about it and said I want to be irresistible to women he turned into a
box of chocolates
so when it's something so precious in a woman's conference I won't go chocolate
chocolate is a very positive thing the problem with chocolate is you're
eating with sugar okay if you just eat chocolate it's a very one thing to eat
but you're mixing with such enormous amount of sugar which will definitely
cause damage to the system if you can eat it without the sugar that will be
great and similarly for the cigarette without the tobacco if you smoke it it
would be great I'm sorry that's why I said chocolate is great it's the sugar
which is the problem that's up to you
see we have gotten used you can like cigarette our coffee or whatever these
are nervous stimulants if you consume Minerva stimulants it'll pep you up for
a certain amount of time and then dump you so you consume let's say next two
years you consume coffee every day in the morning one day if there is no
coffee you will freak you'll get headache you will get all kinds of
problems because you are used to the nervous simulant now if you use any kind
of småland or intoxicant upon your nervous system your ability to pussy
will go down when i say your ability to perceive see if i stand here with my
eyes closed if somebody enters this hall with my eyes closed i will tell you what
kind of person has entered this hall oh is this some yoga no even your dog can
do it isn't it yes or no your dog is sitting under the sofa somebody at the
door he knows who has come yes or no does he know or not he knows now when a
dog can know why is it that you cannot know simply because we dull our nervous
system in so many different ways first of all living in urban centers our
no system is dulled by excessive input the type of food that we eat stimulants
intoxicants all these things if you tell your nervous system the statement that
you're making to life is I want to dodge life I want to avoid life I don't want
to experience life so that is the thing if we cut a nerve in your spine you will
not experience anything shall we do that you're trying to do it slowly I'm
talking about doing it more efficiently is that what you want to do to yourself
because only if you know a system is at its highest level of relaxation and
alertness only then you will know life in its entirety otherwise simply what
somebody has told you and taught you that's all you will know you will not
perceive life the way it is Oh whether you're consuming coffee
cigarette this that if by choice somewhere you're doing something that's
up to you I don't get into those aspects of your life but if it's compulsively
happening in your life it's time you do something things that we create it
should not rule our lives isn't it if you're doing everything by choice
consciously it's up to you if they are compelling you to do certain things it's
time you worked on it it's time you did something about it please
how it works only if you spin it so hello but if if you if sometimes we
cannot wave stress and that's why we are consuming more cafe and more sugar
whatever is chocolate or or more carbohydrates so if there are any other
equivalents that we can use under stress I mean food equivalents so we we are
addressing this as if a stress is a part of as if stress is a part of your time
this happened to me a few years ago when I first went to United States wherever I
went people were talking about stress management
I couldn't understand this where people talking about this management my
understanding we manage things which are precious to us our family our wealth our
business and whatever else whatever is precious to us why would
anybody want to manage stress it took me a while to understand these people have
made a conclusion that stress is a part of their life stress is not a part of
your life you must understand this your stressful not be you have children your
stressful not because you have a business to run
your stressful not because life is not going the way you think it should be
going your stressful simply because you do not know how to handle yourself your
own body your own mind your own emotion and your own energies are in conflict
with each other they're in a state of friction if this was well lubricated
they definitely would not be any stress if this system was going very smoothly
within yourself there would not be any stress essentially means friction isn't
it however wonderful a machine that you may be driving in terms of your car if
you drive it without the engine lubricants or engine oil it won't last
for ten minutes the same thing goes with this if the necessary lubrication is not
created if the necessary alignment is not happened within you then
everything seems stressful have you at least noticed this much what one person
thinks is very stressful another person is dealing with it f
Leslie yes or no so it is not a situation which is stress it is your
inability to manage yourself when you are given such a sophisticated machine
what I am asking you is did you ever read the user's manual you know did you
ever pay attention as to how this functions now we just did one simple
experiment this and this every day you are doing it but you think you don't
have to pay attention to this but there is a system there is a whole science as
to how to bring attention to every aspect of your life the very way you
sicced and breathe eat every aspect of your life if you handle it consciously
you will see it will become something else there is a whole science as there
is a science and technology to handle the external there is a whole science
and technology to handle the internal you have to invest an amount of time in
that we are at we are here I'm here we are at a business women conference can
you give me in three practical steps how we can manage to be vegetarian to do
yoga and to manage all the problems that we have around us in this world in three
steps 1 2 3 practical
if you if you just had a hammer and an anvil which is the most basic tool one
two three I could teach you in three steps but you have a very complex
sophisticated machine which is capable of incredible things when you have such
a machine I would say let's pay a little more attention to it if we want a good
deal out of it if it was a very simplistic thing we could have done it
in a very simplistic way but anyway right now we have only step for a time
for three steps one thing you could do is we offered it to you right here
otherwise you this is offered free to millions and millions of people across
the world it's a simple process of meditation which takes 12 minutes you
can go on the net and with the guided voice you can practice this it is a
technology for well-being it is not a philosophy it is not an ideology it is
not a religion it is not a belief system it's just a technology for inner
well-being twelve minutes you invest on this in your diet make forty percent of
your diet into fruit and vegetable which is fresh and alive live cells not dead
ones bring 40 percent into daily life whichever way it's convenient for you it
is best if it's brought as one single meal as dinner or something
but if that's not possible just add it somehow whichever way but if it comes as
a separate meal it's most effective and simple yoga cannot be thought like this
because the simplest of yoga involves phenomenal amount of geometry today yoga
is being taught as a fitness mechanism like they teach aerobics they're
teaching yoga we would not want to teach something like that because something
very profound if we'd start in a very simplistic way you will lose the
possibility suppose I give you an airplane you're given an airplane and
you don't know what it is I come and say you chop off these two wings which will
anyway obstruct things and drive it like a car you may like it but it's a
disaster to drive an airplane with chopped off wings
so the third step would be that you invest two or three days to learn
something very simple don't go for big things something very very simple two or
three days you invest to learn something and bring it into your life it will do a
phenomenal change in your life these three things three steps good morning
and anyway to tell you I'm not a businesswoman but I am running more than
half a dozen businesses and foundations and activity and movements and projects
across the world so I'm not somebody who sits in a cave and meditates all the
time okay
good morning thank you very much for your lovely speech I'm not a
businesswoman I'm a legal expert for the national and Human Rights Committee in
Qatar my name is hello actually is a very clever person who invited you to
this conference really very enthusiastic to know your opinion about the concept
of business and investment because most of business in this capitalist ism word
it's about accumulating money and reinvested and accumulating money and
again reinvested and have ambitious you have said those women who have a very
big plans I can feel that it has been sarcastic with your compassion with
people who have running after big achievements and big plans
so does business conflict with enlightenment not at all I think a
question at no point was I said take what I told her yesterday was she said
she has big dreams yes if you have big dreams the bigger they are better and if
they are very big you must understand you will never get to make it happen in
a short span of lifespan that a human being
if your dream is really big if your dream is so big if you take one step in
the direction it's a success other people may think otherwise it doesn't
matter but because you have such such a large big huge dream in your mind what
you do may not manifest today but you have taken the right step and set the
most set into motion a possibility which will happen over a period of time that
would not set in sir Carson that was said because she was feeling depressed
the things that she wants are not happening I said the bigger your dream
is the more it will not be fulfilled but it's okay but we have taken a few steps
in the direction and that's what makes it happen now for us here as a business
conference here what we need to understand these there was a time a few
hundred years ago when the religious leadership had the maximum influence on
the societies in the world in the last hand after that military machines built
themselves big and military leaders became the most influential leaders in
the last 100 years democratically elected leaders have become the most
influencing factor on the planet but in the next 10 to 25 years you will see
that business leaders economic leaders will be the biggest influence on the
planet but economic or business leaders have come with a tag around their neck
as you were mentioning that they are rested interest they're only interested
in their profit so it is a it is a time and history that business leaders have
to move from a simple ambition of personal profit to a larger vision of
well-being because such a responsibility is coming their way if they don't want
to fail in this responsibility it's time that business leaders move from simple
ambitions that one has to a larger vision of transformation and well-being
thank you very much you
