Vinita Bali: So, Sadhguru, what is a creative mind?
0:18
Sadhguru: Oh!
0:22
How big an answer do you want?
0:24
Vinita Bali: As big as you want it.
0:30
Sadhguru: See, the English word mind doesn’t say anything
0:34
because it’s just one generic word,
0:37
which does not describe different dimensions of what the mind is.
0:41
Mind is not just one something sitting here (Gestures) and doing something, okay?
0:45
There is really no such thing as mind.
0:48
In the yogic culture, there is no mind.
0:50
There is a physical body, there is a mental body
0:55
because what you are calling as mind right now is a certain combination of memory and intelligence.
1:02
There is memory in your body,
1:04
more memory in your body than you can imagine.
1:07
If I have to get at you again, it’s okay, I’m picking on you.
1:12
You definitely don’t remember how your great-great-great-great-great-grandmother looked like
1:18
but her nose is sitting on your face right now.
1:21
Yes?
1:22
Vinita Bali: Yes.
1:23
Sadhguru: You don’t remember a thing consciously
1:24
but your body remembers one hundred percent.
1:28
How ten generations ago, your grandmother was, your body still remembers.
1:34
A million years ago, how your forefathers were, your… still your body remembers, isn’t it?
1:39
It’s not forgotten and it’s not going to forget.
1:41
Your mind is not capable of this kind of memory.
1:44
Your body has a trillion times more memory than your so-called brain.
1:50
This whole shift towards the brain and intellectual process
1:56
is a European malaise
1:59
they gave too much significance to thought.
2:02
This has happened because they lived under a subjugated society,
2:07
religiously subjugated society where you are not supposed to think anything
2:11
except what’s written in some book, otherwise you are dead.
2:14
They lived like this for a longtime.
2:15
Because of this, when they got little freedom to think and managed to live,
2:20
they started celebrating their thought too much.
2:23
Let’s understand the context of thought.
2:27
You can only think from the data that you already have gathered.
2:32
That means you can never think anything new.
2:35
You can recycle it,
2:37
you can rehash it,
2:38
you can produce permutations and combinations of it
2:41
but you cannot think something absolutely new.
2:45
It is not in the nature of the thought to come up with something new.
2:50
It can only recycle the past.
2:52
That means if you dedicate yourself to your thought process,
2:56
if you enshrine your thought process,
2:58
you are ensuring nothing new ever happens in your life.
3:03
So thought need not be celebrated like this.
3:06
That’s why in this culture, thought is never been given so much significance.
3:10
What you think is your psychological drama.
3:12
We don’t think much about that (Laughs)
3:15
because it’s your drama.
3:16
Your drama is important for you, somebody else’s drama, it’s important for them,
3:20
everybody thinks their drama is the most important drama in the universe.
3:25
This is everybody’s experience
3:27
because they are so identified with their own psychological drama.
3:32
This psychological drama should not determine the nature of your life
3:38
because this is just a small happening compared to the life process.
3:44
Life is a much deeper intelligence than intellect.
3:50
We can look at
3:51
The yogic system looks at the mind as sixteen parts.
3:55
Those sixteen parts are further broken
3:59
and they’re taken up to 84,000 parts.
4:04
But now, if I talk about 84,000, already there’s a segment which says no,
4:09
so I will make it four.
4:11
I am taking away eighty, okay?
4:13
I’m being fair to you – only four!
4:16
Four fundamental parts.
4:18
One is the intellect, which we have
4:21
In modern world, in today’s world,
4:24
we are unnecessarily giving too much significance to intellect
4:28
and we will pay an enormous price for this.
4:31
You will come to a place where you’ll know everything
4:33
but you’ll know nothing of life significance,
4:36
really.
4:37
Today, you will see this happening to children.
4:41
For the first time, this generation you see
4:43
ten, eleven-year-old or twelve-year-old children, they look bored.
4:49
When you were ten-eleven, you did not what is boredom, it was not possible.
4:52
It was too exciting to be alive and looking around.
4:56
You will see ten, twelve-year-old children, all looking bored
4:59
because they’ve seen the cosmos through their phone screen.
5:03
They know it all
5:05
and especially in the western countries, you will see this happening at eight-ten,
5:09
they are really bored.
5:10
You will see in the school buses, they are all sitting like this (Gestures) (Laughter),
5:14
bored,
5:16
because by the time you are twelve, you already had one love affair,
5:20
you know what is a break,
5:22
you know how to… all this recover from that,
5:25
you tasted alcohol,
5:26
you’ve seen this,
5:27
probably you’ve gone into all kinds of physical things
5:30
and you know the cosmos.
5:32
What more?
5:34
By the time you’re fifteen, there’s really no purpose for you to exist, for many of them.
5:39
You should not be surprised,
5:41
if this culture continues
5:43
I’m not saying this as a prediction,
5:45
it is something that I see beginning to happen
5:49
in another fifty or hundred years’ time,
5:52
if twenty-five to fifty percent of the people commit suicide, you should not be surprised
5:57
because life needs some exuberance.
6:03
If too much information happens to you without experience,
6:06
that exuberance will be gone and a sense of… false sense of knowing becomes so strong in you.
6:12
This is the danger of intellect because intellects wants to
6:16
intellect wants to dissect everything.
6:19
Intellect is like a scalpel – the sharper it is, the better it is.
6:22
It wants to dissect and know.
6:24
Dissection works with some things, not with all aspects of life.
6:31
If you want to know… The poor frog, you know,
6:35
you remember, tch,
6:36
the poor frog that you crucified and cut
6:40
and great knowledge you acquired from all that torture is unbelievable (Laughter).
6:45
How much knowledge you know
6:48
For the torture that that frog went through,
6:50
how much knowledge you have acquired is quite unbelievable.
6:57
All that you got to know.
6:59
Now you’ve got interest… suddenly you got interested,
7:02
the mother that you had ignored, you want to know your mother today.
7:05
Please get yourself a sharp knife,
7:08
start the dissection.
7:09
You may know everything about her liver, kidney, heart
7:13
but you won’t have a mother left, that’s all.
7:18
So, life cannot be known by breaking it up.
7:22
You can know physical things by breaking it up.
7:25
You cannot know life by breaking it into pieces
7:28
but this is the nature of the intellect.
7:30
The whole modern science has evolved from human intellect.
7:33
Because it’s produced technological benefits,
7:36
you can’t argue against it
7:38
because people, you know (Laughs),
7:41
they… they think they are scientists, they know nothing about science.
7:44
They’re just enjoying their iPhone.
7:46
They think they are scientists because they can do this (Gestures).
7:49
No, technology is fine, it’s brought much comfort and convenience
7:54
but it’ll not bring life to us.
7:56
So, intellect is like this.
7:59
Intellect will be useful only depending upon what it is identified with
8:05
and what is held, what holds this, how steadily.
8:08
So, the next dimension of the mind
8:10
The first one is called as buddhi, which is the intellect.
8:13
The second one is called as ahankara.
8:15
Ahankara does not mean ego, this, that,
8:17
it means the identity.
8:18
Whatever you’re identified with,
8:20
your intellect functions only around that.
8:23
Simple,
8:24
if you just identify with a nation, if you say, “I’m an Indian,”
8:27
everything Indian looks beautiful.
8:30
If you cross the border and you say you are something else,
8:33
all that looks beautiful.
8:36
So, whatever you’re identified with, it’s only with that the intellect functions.
8:40
So ahankara is the identity.
8:43
How consciously and how steadily your ahankara has been created
8:48
will determine the effectiveness of your intellect.
8:50
Just because it’s sharp, it does not mean it’ll be effective
8:54
because sharp intellect or a sharp knife can cause any amount of damage to you.
8:59
If you have a sharp knife and you don’t have a steady hand,
9:03
you will cut yourself all over the place.
9:04
That’s all that’s happening.
9:06
Human suffering is just this
9:09
you don’t know how to hold this intellect in your hand properly.
9:14
Every day, you’re cutting yourself.
9:17
Self… All suffering is on self-help because
9:20
your own mind causing this to you all the time.
9:22
No matter what happens, people suffer, whichever way, they suffer,
9:26
because they don’t know how to hold this intellect.
9:29
If you had the mind of an earthworm, you would be quite peaceful.
9:34
Yes (Laughs)?
9:36
You’re trying to do it in so many ways to reduce the sharpness of the intellect
9:40
by drink, by drug, by overeating, by doing all kinds of things,
9:44
somehow to take away the sharpness
9:47
because the damn thing hurts.
9:49
It hurts not because that’s its nature,
9:53
it hurts because you do not know how to hold it.
9:56
The next dimension of the mind is called as manas,
10:01
which is a huge volume of memory.
10:03
It is not here or there, entire body carries memory.
10:06
So manomayakosha, this is called, a huge sack of memory.
10:11
This memory is in various stacks, we’ll not go into all these details
10:14
considering some people have said a clear no.
10:17
They don’t want to have a mind, I’m sorry,
10:19
they don’t want to know anything about the mind (Laughter).
10:25
So, the fourth dimension of the mind is called as chitta.
10:29
Chitta means it’s pure intelligence.
10:32
It is unsullied by memory,
10:34
it has no trace of any kind of memory,
10:36
it’s just pure intelligence.
10:38
If you touch this, then you have access to what you are referring as
10:44
the source of creation
10:46
because all kinds of things might have been fed to you
10:50
god is this, god is love, god is compassion, god is kind, what… whatever (Laughs).
10:59
Somebody come, stand on the edge of this stage, say all the prayer you want to say and fall.
11:06
Let me see whether compassion happens to you or a cracked bone happens to you,
11:12
I would like to check, all right?
11:14
All these things have been made up
11:16
because whatever somebody is deprived of,
11:19
they will attribute that quality to their idea of god.
11:23
Your ideas of god have come only because
11:27
you do not know what… how this whole creation happened.
11:31
Because you don’t have an answer, you made it up.
11:35
Because you are human being, you said,
11:38
“A big human being is sitting up there. Oh, how can he do all this?”
11:41
if somebody asked, he has ten hands,
11:43
so he does lot of things not like you, whatever.
11:47
It’s all right for children
11:49
but essentially, because you do not how creation happened,
11:54
you are coming up with explanations.
11:58
So, that which is the source of creation
12:00
don’t believe what I say, what anybody says –
12:02
pay attention to one piece of creation.
12:05
Just take a flower, pay attention to this,
12:07
pay an attention to a leaf or an atom or an ant
12:12
all you will see is phenomenal intelligence beyond anything you can imagine.
12:18
Yes?
12:20
But nobody told you, “God is intelligence.”
12:24
But this culture has said this to you in many ways –
12:27
they told you chidhakasha, chidambara and so many things to tell you,
12:33
if you touch your chit, the whole existence becomes yours.
12:36
Everything that’s worth knowing is right here (Gestures)
12:39
because you have access to the source of creation.
12:42
So, these are the four types of your… four dimensions of your mind.
12:45
Unfortunately, the modern education thinks by just
12:50
feeding information and keeping the intellect reasonably sharp, everything is going to happen
12:55
no
12:56
You will rip this planet apart looking for well-being,
13:00
you may lose the planet or you may manage to go to another planet and start your work again there (Laughter)
13:07
but well-being will not happen.
13:09
If well-being has to happen, you have to dig a little deeper into this one (Referring to oneself),
13:13
otherwise no.
