Accept your life first.
Because the benefactor is giving you.
He's the benefactor...
...and he gives everyone.
He is giving you this in the form of breath.
Nothing is more valuable than that.
You're breathing.
But what we do?
People used to laugh when...
...I used to speak about peace.
Why did they laugh?
Because, they don't need peace-breece.
Peace-breece...
...well, I don't know what's breece?
I wasn't spreading breece...
...but I only spoke about peace.
They don't need peace-breece.
Well, without peace...
...how will you be alive.
Peace is always needed.
And they say peace-breece.
They don't need peace-breece.
They want money.
Success.
It's fine if you want money and success...
...but did I say that you should be broke?
Did I say you shouldn't...
...have wealth or prosperity?
Or you should never be successful.
But first, you should have peace...
...and then you can achieve anything.
Today, the world spends...
...a lot of money on security.
It is not in millions.
Neither is it in billions.
But trillions...
...are spent...
...for security.
And even after spending...
...trillions of dollars...
...there's no peace in the world.
So, I tell the people...
...the peace that you need...
...is not outside but it lies within you.
And how is it within you?
Because evil and good, both lies within you.
At night, when you enter your room.
You lock it from the inside.
So that, no one else could enter.
Isn't it the reason?
In fact, you don't enter the room alone.
The moment you enter the room...
...you're not alone.
Lust.
Your top most priority.
Anger, fascination.
Greed.
They all lie within you.
You buy a single bus ticket.
But, they're always with you...
...wherever you go.
Lust, anger, fascination, greed, ego...
...they are always with you.
You can neither part away from them...
...nor can you go ahead of them...
...or run away from them.
When you go on a holiday.
When you go on a vacation...
...all these aspects follow you.
Lust, anger, fascination and greed is one aspect.
But you must also focus on aspects...
...like mercy...
...believe, happiness...
...clarity...
...which also lies within you.
It is your strength.
Your physical strength is worthless.
Your strength is the bliss.
Your real strength is awareness.
It's awareness and not belief.
The strength of clarity.
Until you try to understand...
...and just keep on believing...
...then everything would seem impossible.
How?
If someone's hungry...
...and if you recite prayers in front of them...
...that you've eaten...
...and recite it for a 100 times...
...will he be full?
And if you recite...
...to a thirsty person, for 100 times...
...that he has drunk water...
...will his thirst be quenched?
All that we do in the world.
What's the logic behind it?
People generally ask, whether we believe in God?
Don't they ask this question?
I never say that I believe in God.
Rather, I ask whether they are aware of God?
Are you aware of him?
Belief and awareness, are two different aspects.
They are 2 different aspects.
There are many scholars present here.
I ask you a question.
You go to a temple.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't go to a temple.
It's an another aspect.
You go to a temple.
Present offerings to God.
And pray to God.
And bow before Him.
I'm fine with this.
Then what do you do next?
You come to your home.
You come home without even bothering about God?
What kind of devotees are you?
Will you leave God...
...once you find God?
Just asking.
If you find God...
...then how many of you will leave God...
...and go home? Raise your hand.
Nobody.
What does this mean?
Whom did you bow before?
Before god, isn't it?
Whom did you present the offering? To the God.
For whom did you stand in the queue? For the God.
When God exists...
...one shouldn't go home.
If you have a cell phone then call your family members there.
Tell your children that you've found God.
Come and make your life blissful.
And this is something which says, God exists...
...and not exists as well.
For presenting the offering we say yes.
To greet we say yes.
For going home we say no.
Is this called devotion?
Is this called devotion?
What kind of devotion is this?
What does this mean?
If humans will live like this...
...to be peaceful...
They just keep on saying peace repeatedly.
People say it a number of times on stage like...
...peace, peace, peace, peace!
Now what does this mean?
Nothing happens just by naming.
Nothing happens just by naming.
If just by naming everything would have worked out...
...Saint Kabir Das says...
...just keep on keep chanting money. Like money, money!
Do you need a job?
Wake up early in the morning. Sit down.
And chant money, money!
You'll have plenty of money and you won't need to do a job.
The double standards of this universe...
...is a standard which can't be explained.
I'm not against your tradition...
...and customs of going to temple...
...and presenting offerings.
I would like to add this.
God resides even within you.
Seek his blessings as well.
Pray to that God as well.
Present offering to that God as well.
Greet that God as well.
Because he is someone who'll come along with...
...you when you'll go home.
Wherever you may go, he will come along with you.
And the day when you'll lose him...
...you'll lose yourself.
Do you know to pray to him or not?
Peace is related only to these things.
Peace is related only to these things.
Because to know about peace...
...first of all, it's very important to know about oneself.
Who are you? What are you?
Today, with what perception do...
...you look at people?
First of all, you conclude that she is a woman.
He is a man.
Why?
Why?
You are a human.
Why don't you see with a human vision?
Then you'll look at the person's clothes.
By which you'll conclude whether that...
...person is rich or poor.
He is literate.
He is illiterate.
It's all about clothes.
Now what about this? What is this?
What is this human body that you've been presented with?
This human body consists of 6 substances.
Hydrogen, oxygen...
...carbon, calcium...
...nitrogen and phosphorous.
Everyone is made up of these constituents.
You, you, you!
There, there, there!
Everyone is made up of these constituents.
And the differences you notice...
...is dividing this entire universe.
The one who can't realize that everyone...
...is made up of the same constituents.
You feel thirsty. I feel thirsty as well.
An illiterate feels thirsty.
And a literate feels thirsty as well.
Do literates don't feel thirsty?
Rich and poor both feel thirsty.
An ordinary soldier feels thirsty...
...and the chief officer feels thirsty as well.
Everyone feels thirsty.
But we don't posses this perception anymore.
Because humans have lost their humanity.
Humans are no more behaving like humans.
And until humans regain their humanity...
...until humans regains their humanity...
...universal peace is impossible.
When will humans regain their humanity?
When they'll start to identify their humanity.
Like, what am I?
We say 'A soul gets a human body only through great good fortune.
'Even gods pray to the Almighty for it.'
A human body is just right for meditation...
...which is the gateway to salvation.'
On one end, we are saying these things.
While on the other hand...
...they approve genocide.
They haven't realized...
...that this is the door to salvation.
Which is not available even to the Gods.
They didn't recognize this fact.
What did they understand?
To cause a rift amongst each other.
Why did you say that?
Why did you say that?
Why did you say that?
This causes a rift in the family.
How dare you said that to me?
He said that to me?
I will ask you a question.
If someone gives you a gift.
If someone gives you a gift...
...and if you don't accept that gift...
...then whose gift is it?
Everyone is quiet.
They're thinking whose it is?
Someone gave you a gift...
...but you didn't accept it...
...so whom does the gift belong to?
Wow! Whose it is?
The one who presented the gift.
The one who presented it or the one who took it?
So, basically...
...if someone gives you a gift...
...that gift will be yours...
...only once you accept it.
No, that's a good thing.
If you don't accept the gift, whom does it belong to?
It belongs to the person who gifted it to you.
It does not belong to you.
So if someone criticizes you...
...and if you don't accept it...
...then whom does it belong to?
It belongs to the one who criticized you. - Not you.
But, what do you do? You accept it.
He said so-and-so things.
He called me a thief!
But if nobody accepts it, then he's not a liar.
Now, in a similar manner...
...if I take this discussion further...
...then the Creator...
...has gifted you with this life.
If you don't accept it...
...then whom does it belong to?
It's His, not yours.
In order to live your life to the fullest...
...it's very important to accept this life.
Whom does this life belong to?
If you accept it, then it is yours.
First, accept your life...
...because it's the Creator's gift to you.
God is a giver...
...he gives everyone everything.
He provides you with this breath.
There is nothing...
...more valuable than this.
Nothing is more valuable than this.
You have been provided with this breath...
...and what are you doing? Breath?
Breath?
What is so important with breath?
The day you can't breath anymore...
...you will realize this fact.
If you were born in a hospital...
...then why did you come home?
Should I tell you?
Because you were breathing.
If you weren't breathing...
...when you were born, would you go home?
You would have gone someplace else.
Your naming ceremony...
...your first birthday...
...your second birthday...
...your third birthday...
...your first day in school...
...your graduation...
...your job, marriage, relatives...
...why do they exist?
Because you are breathing.
If you weren't breathing, would you have relatives?
Who would they be?
Nobody.
But you don't understand the value of breath.
When you are on your deathbed...
...after checking everything...
...the doctor checks whether you're breathing or not.
He checks your pulse. It's not responding.
He checks here. It's not responding.
He checks your eyes.
The pupils aren't responding.
After he checks everything...
...and nothing is responding...
...lastly, he'll check whether your breathing or not.
And if that is responding...
...then you're alive.
The day you stop breathing...
After that, you won't be anyone's uncle...
...nor will you be anyone's mother...
...or son, or brother...
...you won't be...
...related to anyone!
Nobody!
Did you understand this fact when you were alive?
Did you understand the importance of this while you were alive?
Did you accept this fact, when you were alive?
That this life is a gift.
