[00:00:00] Welcome to the podcast, Sadh the ocean, this land is Hindu. The people who lived here naturally became Hindus. So it got referred to as Hindustan, the land of Hindus.
[00:01:43] The land was Hindu. of one belief or one teaching or he did not fall out of one book. Variety of things happened. In terms of geography, it heaven, paradise, suharga, whatever you call they had gunpowder, that's no fear of God, no fear of hell, no fear of anything, because we saw the most important thing is to culture, even six to seven thousand years ago, clearly we are speaking about the planet being round and planet going around the sun. We did not believe that earth is the center of the universe. This came to us, not because we were full of scientists in this country.
[00:08:22] This came to us, we said Shiva. Then we found the basis of everything was this nothing. The greatest miracle in the universe is this,
[00:09:43] that everything comes out of nothing and not relate to it. So, they were looking for a form. Then human beings who are in very profound pursuit, who realized the nature of the manifestation and its source,
[00:11:05] because they realized that which is your home.
[00:12:22] When you arrive, this is my home, you're pointing at the front door and saying believes this is a godless land, there is no the god anywhere. As I have told you many times, we know the technology of godmaking. Well, there are words like this, we say call something Bhagawan. You must understand the Bhagawan.
[00:13:41] The word Bhagawan comes from the root word b? No. Things that are not in your hands, you're willing to give it to him. Things that are in your hands systematic disciplines in the country, in this land. At the same time, there are absolutely wild ways. There are agories, there are tantrics, there are variety of people
[00:16:22] because nothing is a taboo.
[00:16:24] As long as you're seeking, the dogma can be your religion, it means the law. So the eternal law, what is the eternal law? There as we sit here, you and me are different.
[00:20:22] Well, they will bury me or burn me much earlier. No matter how endowed you are, you still suffer. No matter what you become in your life, you will still suffer because you are identified They're all trying to look like sages. This is a good trend. They're trying to look like the Hindus ages of the past. So essentially, a totally godless philosophy less, immoral, immoral is not the word, amoral.
[00:23:03] No morality, no commandments, no God, no philosophy. So, it is not because of Hindu way of life they became like that, because they were like that this is the consequence. This civilization is a consequence of that.
[00:24:20] But as all of us know in recent history, in this land when both in numbers and quality of torture, much, much, much more. But this is the only land, after thousand years of establishing that kind of thing doesn't matter how much torture, it still lived. It's the only land which has been invaded with the vengeance or with the force
[00:27:01] with which it has been invaded,
[00:27:03] still retained its culture to a large extent, damages happened, Because the foundation is in our evolution, the foundation is in the nature of our existence. The foundation is not in what we organized as human beings. It is not a church, it is not some kind of organization, it is not, there's one leader that if you kill him everything will collapse.
[00:28:22] Do what you want. Hello? We don't care how they seek as long as they are seeking their eternal nature. As long as they are seeking their ultimate possibility, we call them Sanatani. Because Sanatana does not mean a particular group of people, Sanatana means eternal nature of who we are. And because of that, I am a Sanathani, not because I subscribe to any of their philosophies. I want to see every human being looks for that which is the ultimate nature of who we are.
[00:31:00] Then everybody is a Sanathani, but don't think they are converting to your religion
[00:31:05] because there is nothing to convert to. as a religion, not as a philosophy, but as a natural longing to know beyond what is right now manifested, because manifestations are many and fantastic. But if you get identified with the manifestation, then you will a Sanatani, this does not mean you're disregarding the biology or the psychology of a human being. We are not going away from it. We want to be above it, that's all. Is it worthwhile?
[00:33:40] Yes.
[00:33:41] We are not talking about discarding it.
[00:33:43] We are not talking about moving away from it. to a place, let's say we took you to the greatest, most sacred place in the universe. There are steps, but you missed and stood steps as blocks. What to do? Tragedy, you are, isn't it? Hello?
[00:35:00] Right now, that's all that's happened.
[00:35:02] This body, this mind, this, this level of cerebral capability, these emotions, these
