you’d know that phrase coined by salman rushdie so it refers to all of us who’re type of on the cusp of the outdated period of colonialism and impartial india and my father was a military physician he was truly within the conflict when i used to be born so he wasn’t in new delhi he was uh a prisoner in um imphal which is now in what we name used to name burma myanmar and underneath siege by {the japanese} so he noticed me months after i used to be born wow and what was that have of rising up at the moment and on that cusp like like take us again to what that have was like and effectively you develop up and consciousness comes very progressively so my first reminiscence truly very important reminiscence is when i used to be six years of age my father was at the moment in england coaching to be a medical physician after which a heart specialist and i used to be dwelling with my grandparents as was my youthful brother who later grew to become the dean of medical training at harvard medical faculty so we’re all a household of docs and that i keep in mind on the age of six years getting a telegram from england in these days the postman used to knock on the door it took truly 48 hours to get a telegram from england two weeks to go by ship or boat and two days by airplane dakota planes anyway the telegram was that my father had handed all his exams he was a member of the royal faculty of physicians my grandfather was once an outdated military sergeant within the british military so he had a gun he went to the ceiling of the house constructing quick a couple of rounds into the air to rejoice took us to the films i nonetheless keep in mind the film alibaba and the 40 thieves after which he took us to a carnival after which in the midst of the evening he died so i keep in mind waking as much as the wailing of ladies he was taken for cremation and the subsequent day she was introduced again in somewhat bottle of ashes and one among my uncles mentioned what’s life right here he was yesterday celebrating with the children and now he is a bunch of ashes within the um in that bottle and that i keep in mind not solely being scared but in addition even on the age of six years having my first existential disaster what is going on on the place is he now so you realize and that continued all through my childhood uh and into medical faculty and primarily formed my life yeah that one episode yeah what an unbelievable expertise to expertise so younger sure and thanks for sharing that and and i actually really feel that how when have been the moments the place you began discovering these solutions to that existential questioning like when did you begin turning into extra woke up to the solutions that you just now share with the world not until uh a very long time after that you realize when i used to be in highschool all i needed to do was be a phys to be a author my secret want all the time was to write down and my secret want all the time was to write down fiction greater than the rest now i’ve written numerous fiction too however principally historic fiction and that i on the age of 14 was studying a e book referred to as misplaced horizon and it was about this legendary place referred to as shangri-la the place individuals do not age and the place they do not die and it was a really attention-grabbing e book and i used to be impressed to write down fiction by myself however my father as you realize indian fathers they need their youngsters to both go to medical faculty or engineering faculty he needed me to observe in his footsteps and so he knew that was not my curiosity and when i used to be about 15 he gave me some books somerset mother who was a doctor author so these are wonderful books of human bondage the razor’s edge which talks about existential points and so i used to be so impressed by these books that i informed my dad i need to be a physician after which you realize i needed to do biology another time to enter medical faculty and the factor is that you realize whenever you go to medical faculty you are supposed to grasp well being well-being and all of that however day one among medical faculty is anatomy which implies you are launched to a corpse so that you’re supposed to grasp life by a lifeless physique that is the mannequin it has been the mannequin ever since michelangelo’s instances and nonetheless is and in order that type of mannequin caught in my thoughts the physique is a bodily machine and uh consciousness is a byproduct that you realize we now have molecules that manufacture ideas and that i stay with that mannequin all through my medical faculty years i informed you yesterday at the moment as a result of we have been launched to the dissection desk and you realize there is a sure odor that comes from a corpse and particularly if it has been preserved with formalin so i could not get the odor out of my fingers you realize dissection so i began smoking cigarettes to do away with the odor and i used to be experimenting with every kind of issues then we had some college students who had come from harvard our medical faculty was based by amongst different foundations the rockefeller basis so we had a number of visiting professors and typically visiting college students and these college students from harvard medical faculty um launched me to lsd first time that is earlier than even the beatles acquired concerned and so i had some attention-grabbing experiences throughout my medical faculty years with smoking alcohol lsd scotch the entire works and it did not cease until a lot later after i truly got here to the usa wow so we have had that is so attention-grabbing as a result of i used to be sharing the opposite day my experimental section sure and what have been you experimenting with was it simply because it was new at the moment was it since you felt a sure feeling like the place was that experimentation in your thoughts and life coming from so we’re speaking concerning the mid-60s so much was occurring the vietnam conflict was coming to an finish there was numerous protests in opposition to the vietnam conflict um you will not even know this however there was the riots in america yeah in opposition to the vietnam conflict after all there was a capturing at kent state college and there was large world rebellion for peace the feminist motion was simply beginning gloria steinem was burning her bra in in cambridge massachusetts greenpeace was coming as younger late youngsters and individuals who have been simply embarking on our life journey we have been very idealistic we thought the world was going to alter the perfect hit on broadway was oh calcutta and hair and lsd rock and roll music have been within the air the beatles had simply printed their album lucy within the sky with diamonds so yeah it was a time of idealism but in addition a time of experimentation and likewise the sensation that the world was altering nevertheless it did not we truly regressed yeah how have you ever felt about that as a result of it is attention-grabbing that everybody who’s listening and watching proper now the viewers that is listening now might really feel that we’re type of going via that interval once more on the planet the place there’s an rebellion of conversations round clearly the gender pay hole girls’s rights we now have extra of a dialog proper now about equality and unit unity we now have once more the dialog across the planet and the atmosphere it is virtually like those self same themes in in our era are coming to the highest do you assume you simply mentioned there that we have regressed you do not assume i assumed we have been going to see a world transformation we have been seeing social justice financial justice battle decision maybe the absence of conflict a sustainable atmosphere and a essential mass of consciousness that was shifting within the path of a extra peaceable simply sustainable more healthy and joyful world nevertheless it didn’t occur 20 years later within the 80s you had these my very own counterparts on wall avenue and all these corrupt scandals on wall avenue wall avenue and the idealism was completely shattered after which we began to regress till as you mentioned not too long ago now the dialog is choosing up nevertheless it’s not sufficient to choose up this dialog you realize we now have to truly see why we failed up to now and that’s as a result of idealism with out motion is ineffective you realize they are saying that love with out motion is irrelevant and motion with out love is meaningless however when you’ve love in motion and love for the higher good then issues can occur and i am hoping it will occur now or we’ll wait one other 30 years lengthy after i am gone i am we would not even survive with local weather change and all that that is taking place proper now yeah wow so you actually assume and i am simply digressing out of your journey i need to return to it however i believe that is such a captivating level that you’ve got raised that truly the true lacking hyperlink is performing on our idealistic views and and getting it with out being a offended social activist with out being an offended peace activist that is a contradiction in itself sure you possibly can’t be an offended peace activist it’s important to be a peaceable being in an effort to create peace it’s important to have expertise love in an effort to create love and then you definately deliver into motion it begins with empathy which is feeling what others are feeling compassion which is the need to alleviate struggling and when you’ve got that then that’s the foundation of all love however then love has to maneuver into motion as effectively yeah completely what an exquisite reply and i actually hope everybody who’s listening and watching proper now if there’s any trigger that you just really feel empathy in direction of if there’s ever a second in your life you’re feeling compassionate begin enthusiastic about how one can expertise that after which act with it that is what we’d like let love lee creep in sure and let it turn out to be the healer and motivation for all the pieces sure completely completely we’d like extra of that i could not agree extra i actually really feel that manner that we stay in a world at present additionally when one thing’s taking place we’re excellent at altering our social media image we’re excellent at altering the colour of our profile and that is good as a result of we’re standing up for one thing however to actually change one thing goes to require require activation we’re sprucing our selfies as a substitute of getting in contact with ourselves sure yeah precisely and it is it is simply such a easy choice to take that versus to do extra so no i like that permit’s let’s return to your story as a result of i actually need to get there so when was it now that you just’re experimenting with lsd you are smoking cigarettes you are you are ingesting scotch you are having all of those experiences whereas being a medical pupil when is the purpose that you just come to a religious awakening so the yr 1970 i get a letter from a basis in the usa that if i move sure exams that have been then given by the american medical affiliation and one other company referred to as the international one thing govt council for international medical graduates that i might get a scholarship now i had not even utilized or thought for a scholarship however i did the exams and that i handed and that i confirmed up in new jersey at somewhat hospital in plainfield new jersey a group hospital i noticed when i used to be right here that truly this complete scholarship factor was an excuse to deliver international docs into the usa as a result of all of the american docs have been in vietnam wow and there was an enormous scarcity of physicians the celebrated posts went to college hospitals for american graduates and the international graduates have been then relegated to group hospitals which provided no training however a number of work so i ended up being on this small hospital in new jersey and all my colleagues have been additionally international docs they have been from egypt from korea from italy from the islands and so forth and principally we have been low cost labor for 5 {dollars} an hour however i acquired to truly expertise what it was to be in a really traumatic atmosphere so we had gunshot wounds the hospital had a fame for being linked quote unquote to the mafia and all of that so i labored onerous that one yr after which i acquired a place in a tutorial establishment boston related to harvard medical faculty and what occurred there was i first did my inner medication nonetheless smoking and ingesting and partying as a intern and resident after which as i used to be ending my internship and residency i grew to become a quote unquote internist i then took a specialty coaching in endocrinology which is the examine of hormones after which in neuroendocrinology which is mind chemistry and that i had some very attention-grabbing colleagues but in addition my mentor at the moment was uh an individual referred to as seymour reichlen he was world well-known he is now 94. and he is nonetheless if he finds a snake in his backyard he’ll dissect the mind of the snake searching for neuro chemical compounds however at the moment now we’re effectively into the mid 70s we have been discovering within the mind these chemical compounds that now all people is aware of about they’re referred to as neuropeptides so neuro as a result of they’re within the mind peptides as a result of they’re protein-like molecules and one among my colleagues at the moment Candace Purt she was later the chief of mind chemistry on the NIH she used the phrase molecules of emotion and that i’d by no means heard that phrase and now all people is aware of issues like serotonin dopamine oxytocin opiates however that was we have been simply discovering molecules molecules of immersion and in order that acquired me hooked to the so-called mind-body connection and on the identical time i used to be in addition to the analysis i used to be additionally seeing sufferers and i used to be very perplexed as to why two sufferers who had the identical sickness might see the identical physician get the identical remedy and have utterly completely different outcomes one might die the opposite one might get well so i began writing down the tales of my sufferers simply to see if i might study one thing from them and that i then began submitting these to medical journals however no one would settle for them so then what occurred is they usually would not anticipate them earlier than as a result of as a result of uh they’re too anecdotal there’s not sufficient analysis so then i assumed perhaps i will publish them for most of the people and the publishers would not settle for that both it was too new age so in the future i noticed an advert within the the big apple instances about this large it mentioned if you wish to get your e book printed we will do it for 5 thousand {dollars} it was an arrogance press and so i did not know what that was about i paid 5 thousand which is some huge cash for me we used to get 202 wage a month so i borrow the cash i acquired 100 books very shabbily produced i did not know what to do with them however now right now due to all my you realize what i used to be studying i would given up alcohol and that i’d given up each experiment i used to be meditating and in the future i used to be giving a lecture to the scholars at harvard divinity faculty in cambridge and there was a younger lady a pupil there in divinity faculty she mentioned are you able to give me a bunch of these books that you just’re speaking about i had 100 and he or she took 12 and he or she put them within the window of the harvard coupe which is now barnes noble in cambridge and the e book was picked up by some child who gave it to his mom on mom’s day she occurred to be a literary agent she referred to as me and he or she mentioned why do you not have a daily writer i mentioned i attempted and he or she mentioned she mentioned how a lot did you pay for this i mentioned 5000. she mentioned i will get two 5 thousand advance subsequent factor i do know the e book is a nationwide bestseller i am getting calls from jackie onassis and from main publishers everywhere in the nation and that i did not know my life remodeled so then i truly acquired in very deeply concerned in mind-body medication i knew that my colleagues in boston have been somewhat embarrassed about me as a result of they did not consider what i used to be doing i went to california and to provide grand rounds at a hospital and someone satisfied me to return to california they usually’d open a middle for me in order that’s when i went to california in the mean time i additionally had additionally met maharishi maeshogi and you realize he was as popularly recognized these days as a guru of the beatles and truly misunderstood by the world as a result of he was so well-liked it occurs whenever you get well-liked however he was a really profound being and he requested me uh to review or get entangled with first ayurveda after which vedanta and consciousness in order that was the way it occurred i informed him concerning the molecules of emotion and he mentioned they don’t seem to be actual in order that’s when i actually understood that mind-body medication was a superb begin for integrative well being and well-being nevertheless it wasn’t what these nice luminaries have been speaking about that as we mentioned you are not your physique you are not the thoughts you are not even on this world and by some means you are creating the expertise of the physique the thoughts and the world in order that occurred virtually i used to be i’d say 36 when i began to shift into the world of consciousness and attempting to determine final actuality earlier than that i used to be a thoughts physique integrative physician and that i nonetheless have my hold my license in california and massachusetts we now have a medical apply however my curiosity proper now’s unveiling elementary actuality what gave you that inclination at the moment as a result of it was so early on in all of those themes beliefs philosophies type of coming to the west with marishimae shogi et cetera it was it was such an early time for phrases like consciousness and actuality and phantasm like these weren’t themes that have been spoken about in such a broad manner as they’re now what gave you the conviction at the moment that that is the path you needed to go in and that there was some actuality there versus all the pieces you’d examine i i spent numerous time with those who maharishi launched me to there have been sears there have been ayurvedic healers they have been philosophers there have been different adepts within the realm of kashmir shaivism vedanta and the perennial knowledge traditions so i immersed myself into that atmosphere additionally acquired very acquainted with the terminology you realize that they have been utilizing and it made mental sense however nonetheless did not make experiential sense in order that’s when i actually acquired deeply concerned in not solely mantra meditation however within the yoga sutras of pathanjali particularly the chapter on the cities after which i additionally acquired concerned in varied different disciplines tantra kashmir shaivism um self-inquiry self-self um reflection transcendence but in addition acquired into the behavior of being a witness of my psychological house my physique what’s taking place inside my physique and likewise of perceptual expertise and you realize when you get um so deeply experientially concerned there isn’t any going again it is like a brand new youngster who’s been born cannot return to the womb anymore yeah yeah completely completely it’s kind of which was a interval it was 10 15 years of that that is unbelievable i like this by the best way that is wonderful for anybody who’s listening or watching proper now who hasn’t heard deepak’s full story earlier than from him it is a that is wonderful and also you additionally we have been speaking about this the opposite day you additionally ended up spending a while as a monk too yeah that was truly not too long ago oh wow oh okay oh i assumed it was okay no i imply being with marishi was like being in a monk atmosphere sure however then a couple of years in the past i assumed to myself i wanted a break from um break from being a lot within the public eye i needed to expertise anonymity so truly i as a substitute of going to an ashram in india i went to the north of the forest in korea in south korea on the border of um north and south korea and that i went right into a buddhist monastery and spent a while as a monk we shaved our head shaved our eyebrows placed on robes went with a begging ball each morning via the streets or the streets of the village close by the monastery um i had a few um apprentice monks with me um there was after all the senior monk on the monastery and we stored silence all through the day however then and we had one meal and you realize in in these buddhist international locations there is a custom that if a monk goes by the road you supply meals it is thought of a profit sure yeah you realize auspicious and also you get rewards automobile maker rewards for feeding the monks so we used to finish up returning to the monastery with a lot meals you assume we would gone to complete meals or one thing and the monks would hold filling it up and there was one meal after which within the evening they might chant all evening um and we might pay attention so it was a superb expertise anonymity and likewise the liberty that comes from uh not being uh beholden to the world within the sense sure it was good expertise yeah why was anonymity so why do you assume anonymity is so vital for all of us in our life to expertise why is it such a captivating as a result of whenever you go previous your ego id there is a greater id that’s so large it is incomprehensible it might’t even be described and there is a freedom and a pleasure that comes from that and that i had had glimpses of that however this era of intense stillness and by the best way since then i’ve stored every week of silence yearly typically i do extra and that week of silence normally in september i do yearly simply to return to the style of timeless being yeah as a substitute of you realize our ego id which we hold sprucing daily now particularly lately with social media and books and promotions and also you title it what’s one thing that folks can do day by day to entry that have as a result of such as you mentioned our days are simply busy with work and household and commitments and occasions what’s one thing individuals can do day by day that helps them entry their true id their self going past the ego and the thoughts and the physique i believe the essential of it’s to nonetheless the thoughts as a lot as attainable and simply turn out to be a silent witness to that which is occurring on the display of your consciousness so in case you um shut your eyes and take a couple of deep breaths after which um you realize i normally begin with somewhat reflection who am i who desires to know the reply what’s it that wishes to know the reply to the query who am i what’s my function what do i need for me and the world what am i grateful for that is how i begin then i’m going into somewhat little bit of respiration after which mantra meditation after which what i do is i witness what’s taking place on the display of my consciousness simply turning into conscious and in the end you notice that what’s taking place on the display of consciousness just isn’t who you’re you are the one who’s watching that after which what’s taking place on the display of your consciousness finally results in deep insights about thoughts and physique and the bodily world which truly would not actually exist however we will get into that once we discuss meta-human however i believe if individuals simply ask these 4 questions daily earlier than they begin the day even with out a extended meditation course of who am i what do i need what’s my function what am i grateful for instantly the home windows to the larger actuality begins to begin to open completely that is such an exquisite level that deepak’s making proper now for everybody listening and watching it is simply such a easy manner of beginning to transcend the noise and the muddle that we really feel each morning once we get up and the very first thing we do is take a look at our telephones all it’s important to do is simply change that behavior for asking your self these questions and also you need not know the solutions as a result of you realize there are not any fastened solutions these solutions hold altering all it’s important to do is stay the questions after which life retains shifting into solutions that you just want at that second in your life and all of it occurs spontaneously synchronistically such an incredible level as a result of these solutions are revealed and obtained they don’t seem to be they don’t seem to be discovered they usually’re pertinent for that second in your life not essentially the solutions i like that i believe that is such a superb level as a result of so usually we put this stress once we ask a query that we should discover the reply now it is just like the training system has drilled us in believing that you’ve got the precise or flawed reply inside moments what was that poet who mentioned stay the questions and life will transfer you to the solutions whenever you want them as a result of in case you acquired them proper now you might not be even ready for them wow yeah that is a superb level i do know life has achieved that to me numerous instances yeah whenever you ask questions and also you assume you need the reply now however then whenever you truly obtain it you notice sure i wasn’t ready that is proper completely wow what a profound what a profound mind-set about it i like that that is that is made an enormous shift in my thoughts not even to need to reply the questions now no simply ask them and let your day and allow them to go yeah within the type of perception instinct inspiration inventive um uh creativity however most significantly they arrive within the type of uh significant coincidences of what kalyan referred to as synchronously or what non secular individuals say grace sure that is it yeah yeah significant coincidences completely yeah how stunning is that i like that so that is what i like about your journey deepak is simply that at each level it appears that evidently you’ve got been a seeker for extra such as you’ve frequently gone within the path of extra studying extra progress by no means settling how have you ever seen the medical business shift how have you ever seen different issues round you shift with time since you’ve actually gone all the best way do you assume that we’re seeing shifts within the medical yeah we’re seeing shifts when i began i felt like a loner yeah i can think about however now integrative medication is a part of each establishment together with academia and within the final 15 20 years our basis has achieved numerous analysis so we made it fairly mainstream proper now so to summarize very shortly what has taken 30 years to study or extra 40 years to study is that solely 5 p.c of illness associated gene mutations are totally penetrant so let me clarify this for a lay viewers so a genetic a genetic mutation is a is a mistake it is an error within the gene genes are stretches of dna that code for proteins so dna is uh stands for deoxyribonucleic acid and there are 4 of those named after alphabets adenine guanine cytosine thymine atcg so atcg are the 4 letters of life in english we now have 26 letters and most languages human languages we now have greater than 20 letters however the language of life dna has solely 4 letters atcg and these spell out phrases that we name genes and the physique is a narrative spelled out by these genes so when individuals say first there was the phrase phrase was made into flesh in a manner it is very literal truly whenever you begin to take a look at the organic mechanism now now and again or greater than now and again there are genetic errors so that you would possibly consider them once more with talking metaphorically however a spelling mistake so as a substitute of the phrase being spelled accurately perhaps one of many letters atcg is lacking or it is within the flawed place or it is the wrong way up otherwise you’re redundant two letters as a substitute of 1 that mistake genetic variation known as a mutation now solely 5 p.c of those genetic mutations which are related to illness most cancers coronary heart illness arthritis strokes you title it autoimmune ailments alzheimer’s solely 5 p.c truly assure the illness which implies when you’ve got a kind of mutations you are going to get the illness like angelina jolie had a gene referred to as the baraka gene which predicts breast most cancers 100% so she had a mastectomy to forestall the most cancers rightly so for these 5 p.c there are new applied sciences which are being developed proper now and crispr is one among them which implies you possibly can lower and paste the gene the best way you’d in electronic mail so you’d take the faulty gene you’d learn the bar code with the molecular scissors you delete it and then you definately’ll insert the precise chain it is not taking place proper now nevertheless it’ll occur within the close to future however what individuals do not perceive is that is 5 p.c of sickness wow the remainder even the genetic errors which are related to illness relies on how you reside your life and quite simple issues like sleep meditation and stress administration motion yoga and pranayama now yoga and pranayama goes manner past train as a result of with yoga and pranayam there is a explicit nerve within the physique referred to as the vagus nerve it is the tenth nerve and the phrase vegas is a latin phrase nevertheless it’s associated to the english phrase vagabond so this nerve comes from the midbrain it influences your facial expressions so now you can do micro expressions and see if an individual is pleased or not it influences the attention actions it influences the tone of your voice are you threatened are you pressured are you pleasant are you cheerful it influences your coronary heart charge exercise then it pierces the diaphragm and it influences the exercise of each different department of the vagus nerve that goes to all of the organs within the physique so when i found this via yoga academics and masters i noticed that the yoga asanas you realize we are saying yoga asana and other people normally translate that into as postures however truly the phrase asana means seat as you realize seat of consciousness seat of consciousness so every yogasana is a selected seat of consciousness that stimulates a selected nerve that’s going to organ in your physique and the one motive for that nerve is self-regulation or therapeutic or homeostasis so when i found that i grew to become fanatic about yoga i have never missed yoga now for so long as i can keep in mind one wonderful wow not in the future of yoga or meditation or um or pranayama so yeah it was a very long time so whenever you put collectively you realize yoga motion sleep stress administration wholesome relationships and feelings like love compassion pleasure equanimity uh meals that does not kill your microbiome which is the 2 million additional genes in our physique which aren’t human so that you solely have 25 000 human genes however you’ve two million bacterial genes in your physique that is referred to as the microbial microbiome it’s a lot it is as vital because the human genome so you possibly can change the exercise of your microbial genes simply by altering your food regimen so in case you go um not even vegan however in case you go most variety on plant-based meals and meals that aren’t contaminated with antibiotics or hormones or pesticides you possibly can change your genetic exercise wow and the inhabitants of your genes in lower than six weeks and which implies then you definately’re reinventing your physique as a result of your physique is spelled out by your genes so this acquired me going strongly into how will we reinvent our our bodies by resurrecting our souls and going previous our minds and that is what i am obsessive about now wow i like that i am so glad you are obsessive about it as a result of the truth that we’re so chargeable for our personal well-being is large within the sense of perception that there are methods by which we will rewrite that story you possibly can write the genetic construction of your physique you possibly can’t change the human genes by the best way since you acquired them out of your mother and father however you possibly can change their exercise so proper here is one among our researchers um we put one we put individuals via a one week retreat the place they not solely learnt mantra meditation however additionally they practiced the yoga sutras of patanjali from the chapter on the cities significantly transcending the senses in a single week actually and that is printed now in main peer-reviewed journals if individuals need to examine them out go to chopra basis.org and you may see all of the analysis and the analysis was in collaboration with scientists from harvard from ucsf from duke from scripps after all chopra basis mount sinai in the big apple and what did we discover we discovered that in a single week of this apply of meditation and the yoga sutras of patanjali all of the genes which are chargeable for therapeutic and self-regulation they went up some 17-fold over baseline these are human genes and the genes that trigger illness or irritation went down drastically the enzyme there’s an enzyme in our physique referred to as telomerase it influences the size of telomeres that are like little buttons on the finish of your chromosomes the the extent of the enzyme went up 40 in a single week which implies individuals have been reversing their organic age at a genetic stage wow okay now how far does this go we do not know and that was only one week which is one week and you realize the people who find themselves in samadhi for weeks at a time these traditions should not that prevalent you realize there is a method in ayurveda referred to as kaya kalpa the place you go right into a retreat the place it’s completely darkish the place you don’t have any communication with the world the place you transcend the place you eat minimal most variety of plant-based meals and inside six months you come again a youthful particular person biologically physiologically you realize i am 72 now no you are searching for i am i am i you realize i am not uh centered on growing old anymore yeah i believe that is a mistake for anybody who uh follows deepak on social media instagram or fb in case you do not already i extremely advocate it however i’ve by no means seen you miss a day of yoga meditation i see you each time whenever you encourage me a lot as a result of i simply assume like in case you’re ready at your present physique’s age to have the ability to do the issues you’re together with your physique and the way wholesome you’re and the way wholesome your physique and thoughts are i imply we now have no excuses there’s organic age which is the precise biomarkers so what’s blood stress bone density physique temperature regulation fats content material ldl cholesterol imaginative and prescient listening to pores and skin thickness wrinkles hormones that is organic age then there’s chronological age whenever you have been born what your beginning sure it says sure then there’s psychological age how do you’re feeling sure after which there’s religious age which is timeless yeah it has no age in any way so you realize we now have to make these distinctions and see which of those we’re speaking about 100 100 whenever you mentioned on the finish there that you just’re not enthusiastic about growing old anymore what did you imply by that whenever you mentioned that it is now um one thing i talked about uh in my new e book made a human that what we name physique thoughts and world and growing old and beginning and demise i’ve acquired so many questions on the e book that we might put collectively for you so i am pleased to try this so in one of many issues that is what i used to be wanting on the you begin the e book by prompting two questions proper in moments the place you’re feeling very pleased do you watch your self being pleased and whenever you’re offended is somebody is a few a part of you freed from anger proper why did you begin with this so in all of the religious traditions um not essentially simply the japanese traditions they communicate of two worlds the approaching and the transcendent so the approaching is that this world that we’re in proper now this space-time causality the big apple metropolis the resort we’re in after which the transcendent world is the world of infinite being or consciousness always we’re in each these worlds with out figuring out however when you turn out to be conscious even barely that the notice of a thought just isn’t a thought proper in case you’re capable of observe a thought then you definately the observer just isn’t that thought proper equally the observer of the emotion or which is the notice of an emotion just isn’t the emotion agreed or a notion or a colour you realize proper now we’re perceiving via our 5 senses and what we’re perceiving is colours kinds shapes sounds sensations in our physique perhaps feelings and ideas and perhaps photographs that is the uncooked materials of expertise that is all there’s okay the phrases physique thoughts and world are human constructs primarily based on the interpretation of those uncooked sensations so when you begin to turn out to be a witness of expertise you notice that you’re intrinsically freed from the expertise until you determine with it until you say that is me sure it is not you it is an expertise you are having proper completely so when you bind your self to the expertise which we name the karmic net of existence then you’re in that circle of karma reminiscence want you’re continuously looking for validation you are afraid of people that criticize you you are flattered by individuals who flatter you you’re feeling beneath somebody or superior to somebody it is the melodrama of our day by day existence sure when you possibly can observe what’s taking place within the realm of expertise and as a substitute of reacting to it you observe the response to react even for a second as a substitute of reacting to the expertise you observe the response to react you instantly notice that your vary of choices or decisions proper this second is definitely infinite and you do not have to be a bundle of conditioned reflexes and nerves that is continuously being triggered by individuals and circumstances to predictable outcomes so that you turn out to be you turn out to be you are on the mercy of each stranger on the road so i believe it is essential to know that sure i am having this expertise however i’m intrinsically freed from this expertise in order that’s how the e book begins yeah and that i completely love that as a result of it is an analogy i normally used to share that have is like once we’re in a automobile and somebody hits the automobile we are saying oh somebody hit me sure however truly they did not hit you they hit the automobile yeah and also you’re figuring out because the automobile as your self sure now how about in the event that they hit your physique yeah you realize and and your physique perishes proper sure so that is the argument individuals have in opposition to the argument that religious individuals have which is you are not your physique you are not your thoughts so however you realize you do not forget that well-known dialogue between samuel johnson and um and whoever that idealist was and he mentioned you realize the world is a projection of consciousness and i believe it was samuel johnson who hit his leg on a bit of stone and mentioned i refute you thus saying that you realize you get hit by a bus you are going to you are going to break your bones and also you would possibly die so why do you say that the bodily world is an phantasm now if you’d like we will handle that yeah let’s handle that yeah let’s handle that yeah so you realize that is after all i take individuals via the e book very slowly however in case you requested a daily particular person on the road what is that this they’d say it is a microphone in case you ask them what’s this you’d say it is a watch what’s this that is my hand what’s this that is my physique now in case you actually begin to take a look at this very rigorously earlier than you name something by its title microphone hand physique um watch earlier than you utilize that these phrases it is an expertise and the expertise is definitely not a bodily expertise colour kind and form should not bodily experiences if i requested you the place within the bodily world is the colour pink situated you’d say nowhere the truth is there isn’t any colour pink within the bodily world what’s coming to your eyes are electromagnetic vibrations which don’t have any colour what’s taking place in your eyes there isn’t any colour and if i requested you to think about an exquisite pink sundown you’ve an image in your consciousness however there isn’t any image in your mind there isn’t any image in your eyes and truly the sundown just isn’t in case you’re imagining it it is not within the bodily world now what you do not notice is whenever you’re an actual sundown all you are experiencing is colour the remainder is a narrative okay that is a sundown it is a physique okay colour shapes textures sensations smells photographs feelings and ideas don’t have any location within the bodily world and but out of this uncooked materials we create the concept of a bodily world so in sanskrit that is referred to as jagat mithya the world look on the display of your consciousness and your physique is a part of that world look as a result of individuals you realize they are saying the place are you individuals say i am right here however there isn’t any one inside there okay as a result of that is additionally an expertise in consciousness the thoughts is an expertise in consciousness furthermore it is a shifting expertise in consciousness no you realize a thought is un ungraspable it is ephemeral it is evanescent you possibly can’t catch it okay you possibly can’t catch a notion and look right here i look there these are two snapshots of notion they usually’re evanescent i take a look at my physique and by the point i take a look at it once more it is a completely different physique as a result of it is recycling so quick on the stage of atoms and molecules and data and vitality so the truth that we name this a physique it is truly a altering expertise of sensations photographs emotions and ideas that may be a modified type of your individual self and it is altering it is ungraspable identical factor with the thoughts it is ungraspable identical factor which we’ll name with the world it is a altering expertise of shifting what we name qualia within the within the religious literature now within the consciousness literature there’s this phrase qualia as a substitute of quantum a quantum is a unit of measurement however a qualia is a unit of expertise so if i let you know consider your spouse proper now and also you see a picture that is a qualia now really feel the emotion linked with that that is a qualia now consider what you need to do together with her this night exit for dinner or film that is a qualia so qualia are models of expertise once we string them collectively we create the assemble of thoughts physique and world and as soon as we create that assemble then we’re caught with constructs like beginning and demise and karma and reminiscence and want and all of the issues which make a really fascinating human expertise nevertheless it’s not actuality it is we’re already in a digital actuality okay so at present with vr and immersive augmented experiences and dreamscapes it’s turning into clear that the world that you just and that i are inhabiting proper now’s a collective human dreamscape and as physique minds we’re fictional characters in that dreamscape and it is an phantasm that we will improve or we will downgrade you realize we will create heaven out of it or hell nevertheless it’s nonetheless not elementary actuality and now with the brand new applied sciences that is turning into very clear when you notice that the world is a assemble sure the assemble has been evolving via mythology via faith via economics via historical past via society via tradition nevertheless it’s nonetheless a assemble and what these nice seers these nice rishis have been capable of do is that they have been capable of deconstruct it when you deconstruct it what are you left with you realize whenever you left you’ve got heard that expression 1890 i am not the thoughts i am not the physique i am not the mind i am i am the observer what are you left with when you deconstruct all the pieces what you are left with is formless infinite dynamic discipline of infinite potentialities infinite creativity infinite love and the supply of intention so that is what yoga initially was and needs to be yoga means union union with the self which can be the self of the universe and that is the place you realize i acquired completely seduced that human struggling because the vedanta says comes from not figuring out true actuality elementary actuality complicated perceptual actuality with elementary actuality greedy and clinging that which you can’t grasp a cling the worry of impermanence the assemble of the ego and the worry of demise these are all the identical factor not figuring out what’s actual and what’s a projection and even the projection will be modified completely wow what a category in what a grasp class in in actuality an phantasm how does then one perform inside the world however then nonetheless perceive as a result of i believe the problem individuals have on a day-to-day foundation as you’ve got most likely heard for many years is that this effectively if it if what i am experiencing just isn’t full actuality then the place do i’m going from there like what am i doing married do i fall in love why not do i’m going to the films you realize i used to go to numerous films i do not that a lot anymore as a result of what we name on a regular basis actuality is a extra attention-grabbing film than most films yeah do not have the creativeness to seize the what is occurring in what we name on a regular basis actuality so we’re in it we would as effectively take pleasure in it and improve it and that is what the expression is to be on the planet and never of this world okay or we’re religious beings having a human expertise or non-local beings having an area expertise timeless however in time when you perceive that and when you additionally get into the behavior of self-reflection self-inquiry observing perceptual experiences with out essentially judging them so i am proper now having the expertise of colours and kinds and tastes and smells and sounds i do not essentially must qualify this expertise and transcendence the place you realize you go to that place the place there isn’t any mantra and no thought and simply deep stillness then the shift begins to happen that you just’re not figuring out together with your physique thoughts or experiences of the world and but you are having fun with them or not having fun with them and now you need to do one thing to shift and because you’re on the planet you realize about 25 years in the past i wrote this e book easy methods to make that sensible and i do not understand how however principally i got here up with the concept of the seven religious legal guidelines of success the legislation of pure potentiality the legislation of giving and receiving karma intention want least effort and detachment and dharma these seven ideas guided me into a brand new concept of what success is the progressive realization of worthy objectives the power to like have compassion however most significantly to determine together with your inventive heart as a substitute of the projection that is coming from that heart as a result of more often than not our expertise of is coming from figuring out with the projection that has been created by the conditioned or ego thoughts now the ego thoughts just isn’t going to vanish so long as you are on this physique or truly you are not within the physique the physique is in you however no matter so it is not going to vanish however in case you hold it within the background and also you’re conscious of it and also you ask your self what am i motivated by and i’ve these little tips in my thoughts pursue excellence ignore success after which all the pieces occurs synchronicity significant coincidences the state of grace easy being spontaneous achievement of want these are little issues over time that i’ve gleaned as my little catch phrases to remind myself sure i need to stay a life that’s primarily based on love and if it is not primarily based on love on the highest stage you realize because the vedanta say love ought to radiate from you want gentle from a bonfire yeah not centered on anybody and never denied to anybody it is simply the sunshine of the solar yeah in case you begin and it takes time you realize keep in mind after all yeah yeah completely it took me and and i believe that is essentially the most stunning factor is that what we’re having to do on a day by day sensible stage is simply persevering with to realign and simply with the ability to acknowledge that every one your expertise you aren’t your experiences you aren’t the results of an exterior end result you realize you do not have to tackle that burden similar to layers of garments we have simply been carrying all these feelings like layers of garments you possibly can simply take them off and let go they don’t seem to be very stunning yeah however you see that is additionally very attention-grabbing as a result of consciousness is rarely as free and inventive when it is not tethered to an expertise right whether or not the expertise is that which we name the physique right that which we name the world or that which you name the thoughts when consciousness is untethered which we name pure consciousness it is infinite formless however infinite you realize tagore had an exquisite poem he mentioned on this playhouse of infinite kinds i caught sight of the formless and so my life was blessed the formless is the true you and it is infinite yeah the shape is a phenomenon and because the phenomenon it is you as that phenomenon so whenever you see your self in an object we name that
