We have more than any other generation ever had, in terms of comforts and technologies. Yet, we are miserable people. You want to be something more, all the time, that's why you suffer. Just tell me, is there one thing that human beings are not suffering? Somebody is poor, they suffer their poverty.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:38)
Somebody becomes rich, they suffer the taxes.

If they're not married, they suffer, get married. I don't have to say anything. You're making up a purpose to bring some meaning to your life. But if you try to enhance your activity without enhancing yourself, you'll only die of stress.

What about trauma?

**Sadhguru** (0:57)
You're finding an excuse for the way you are, which you yourself don't like. If something unpleasant happened to you, you have two choices. Either you can become wise or you can become wounded. Your experience of life is determined by you. If your happiness depends on what happens on the outside, you being happy is a remote possibility.

**Steven Bartlett** (1:18)
I want to be happy. What's step one?

**Sadhguru** (1:21)
There is a simple practice which only take twenty-one minutes and this is when human beings can do something absolutely fantastic. First thing is.

**Steven Bartlett** (1:38)
What is the... the mission that you're on?

Well, today, you know, a few months ago, the WHO or the World Health Organization made a prediction that there is going to be a mental health pandemic. At least five years ago, none of us knew what is a pandemic. Today, we all know what is a pandemic. And they've gone further and they said the next stage is there will be a suicide pandemic, just to put it in perspective. In 2020, when the pandemic was in full swing all over the world, in Japan, more people died of suicide than of the pandemic. So, we don't really need the virus, that's all I'm saying. because the virus has gotten into our head, because once survival is taken care of, you… if you do not become conscious, the way you sit, stand, breathe, think, emote and function within yourself, if it does not become conscious, you will naturally head downhill. This is just September 23rd, I completed forty years of this work. So, forty years ago, I was a young man, one afternoon, when I had nothing much to do, somehow an hour-and-a-half gap was there for me. In the work, I was working like morning, five-thirty in the morning, eleven in the night, building various kinds of businesses around me. So, when I got a break, there's a small hill. This hill is a place where we go and… for the youth. When I was a kid, I cycled up this hill, we camped on this hill, we partied on this hill. If we want to test our motorcycles, we went up the hill. Just about anything you want to do, the youth, go to Chamundi Hill. This is the thing. I just walked up and sat on a rock. My eyes were still open. I thought it's just ten, fifteen or twenty minutes. Suddenly, I started feeling every cell in my body literally dripping ecstasy. I thought this lasted fifteen, twenty minutes. But when I came back to my normal senses, four-and-a-half hours had passed. For the first time in my adult life, tears. Me and tears were simply impossible. Tears to a point, my shirt is all wet. Then I shake my skeptical mind and ask, what the hell is happening to me? All I knew was I had hit a gold mind and there was no context. Nobody around me could tell me what was happening with me, nor did I know what was happening with me. This is something that most people will experience in their lives. On a certain day, when they are very happy, twenty-four hours feels like ten minutes. Another day when you are depressed, ten minutes will feel like twenty-four hours. Time is a very relative experience. When you are so blissed out, what is two minutes? It's eight hours, ten hours, just gone like that. So in about six to eight weeks, I came to some kind of stabilization within myself and started experimenting as to what is happening to me. Then I realized, if I keep a little distance from my physiological and psychological activity that's going on, if I just remove myself a little bit, then within… within a few seconds or within a couple of minutes, every cell in my body is bursting with ecstasy. Now, this is not just my experience. Today, we have it measured out in Howard Medical School, how there is endocannabinoids are bursting out in people simply because they do a simple practice. So, I made a plan in two-and-a-half years' time, I will make the whole world blissed out. I knew the methodology, if you just keep a distance, it'll happen.
