Man is very simple for me, because if you take away your attention, it just dies.

California may be beautiful, but people can be in hell, isn't it?

Within themselves, in their experience, in their homes, in their situations,

they can create hell for themselves.

Everybody must do a little bit of engineering within themselves

to see that being peaceful and joyful is not a challenge.

Once this happens, your intellectual function in a completely different way.

Hi, everybody.

Hi, it's Aguru.

Thank you for sitting down here.

So, I want to jump right in, and there's a quote from Yogananda.

He says, you can control a mad elephant.

You can walk in water and live in fire, but control of the mind is better and more difficult.

And I've certainly found that for myself.

I spend so much time wrestling with my mind, I hardly have the energy to dance with life.

Why is it so hard for us to manage our mind as people?

I have no such problem because I lost it long time ago.

When you don't have it, you don't have to control it, you know?

Because it's a very, very implied notion that people think intelligence is somewhere here.

This is a living cosmos.

It's an intelligent cosmos.
