00:00Namaste Sadhguru. Question is from Kirti Singh Ji. She is asking that, so are we saying that to receive knowledge from Shri Krishna, one must be empty from mind, from intellect, not do any thinking and be an open receiver? But how to stop this internal chitchat of the mind? It keeps on going.
00:20No, no, you don't have to be empty of anything. You just have to be empty of the choice to use anything in your defense. Right? You are born with ammunition. You don't have to keep the ammunition aside.
00:47Let the gun be there with you. Just don't fire at the teacher. That's all that Krishna is saying. You don't have to empty the gun. Keep it loaded. It's alright.
01:01Because your entire existence is just resource. What all will you empty yourself of? And everything can be potentially used against the teachings.
01:17Every single thing. Why only intellect? Why not memories? Why not muscle power? Why not punch the teacher in his face?
01:29So will Krishna say you must empty yourself of your fist? Of your arm? No. Keep it. Just don't use it in a destructive, foolish, malicious way.
01:44Let the intellect be there. It should simply not become fodder to the ego. You have to ask yourself. You have to watch yourself.
02:02What are you using your things for? That's self-knowledge coming from observation. What are you using your arguments for?
02:15Oh, a beautiful piece of rhetoric you came up with. What for? What is all this for? And if you can see what is all this for,
02:27you will also see for whom is all this. And the answer is just ego. All this is just to secure the ego. Beautiful answer.
02:43Lovely argument. What an alibi. What you have not seen is that all this is just to remain who you are and you stink.
02:57Somebody is telling you. Somebody is telling you to go get a bath and you came up with a fantastic argument proving that a bath is not needed.
03:05It's a beautiful argument. Maybe you won the debate. Oh, you did. But what you don't see is that you lost out on something much deeper.
03:20Getting it. It's only through your inner honesty and observation of your intention that you will know what you are using your resources for.
03:41You will know what you are using your resources for.
03:44Was not Ravan a great warrior? Is not Duryodhana practically invincible with the mace? Right?
03:57The question is not about his physical strength or his dexterity with his weapon. It's about the purpose, the end, the intention that he is carrying.
04:15Karan has the bow and the arrow. Duryodhana has the mace and their counterparts are Arjun and Bheem. Right?
04:27Same weapon. Same kind of warrior. Same ammunition. The difference lies in the purpose you are using your ammunition for.
04:37What are you using yourself for? Such a wonderful display of your skill with your weapon. Wow!
04:50But what did you use it for? What is your entire argument for?
04:56Ultimately, what is it that you want? Please see. Don't just say, you know, I have an argument for? No, I have an argument for this. No, no, no, no. It's not for this.
05:11You must see what the entire thing is ultimately drifting towards. And ultimately, it drifts towards nothing complicated. Just one thing.
05:25I am already alright. Let me do as I wish. Don't teach me. That's the final thing. Great argument. Complex, convoluted, wide.
05:43Wow! Full of scholarship. But ultimately trying to say just one thing. What? I already know.
05:54I am the dude. I am the king. I am the scholar. Is that not the purpose of every single argument? I am already great. I am alright. I am superior. So I don't need to learn.
06:12Why do you always want to win an argument? To prove that you are already superior? I am superior. I won the debate. And if I am superior, what is that superiority for? To remain as I am? Because if I am already superior, then I don't need to learn and change.
06:30Everything is just so that you do not change. Everything is just so that you can convince yourself that you are already alright.
06:38Intellect is so stupid. Intellect is not intelligent at all.
06:48I used all my arguments to remain stupid.
07:00Extremely intellectual arguments. This, that. Just to remain as dumb as I am. Dumb as a dodo.
07:18Don't throw the gun away. Fire it at the right targets.
07:32Hmm? Suddenly, Santosh Ji became interested. What is going on? Who is throwing gun?
07:50Anyway. The moment I said, don't fire at the teacher. I said, but where is the gun? I am harmless perfectly.
08:12Perfectly.
