Welcome to the podcast,

Sadguru of Mystics and Mistakes.

Namaskaram, Sadguru. Can you speak about the idea of

So it had a clear run of approximately 4,500 to 6,000 years of civilizational development

without having to fight anybody.

When everywhere else in the world, the world was ruled by tribes which were

continuously fighting or warlords who only sought violence all the time, the basic economy

and most parts of the world was looting somebody else. Across Europe, Africa, Americas, everywhere, tribes largely thrived and looting each other.

But here, these two geographical features held us like it's a mother's omb.

It just held us so well that we invested in music, in mathematics,

in astronomy, in all the subtleties of life. And nearly 30% of the people turned completely spiritual,

not interested in the outward.

Only problem was there was not enough fighting man.
