Sadhguru Taught Him A Lesson | Har Ghar Tiranga

National Anthem should be respected. And, you know, these are things which people talk. What would you like to respect about this nation? Please tell me and we will do that. There have been several politically motivated stances taken by a lot of people whereby they decided not to respect the national dawn. On no no… they decided to respect in a different way. Because many people don't want to stand for the national anthem because it's probably against their beliefs then, and we are failing them as a nation. You think everybody should be either for or against? I'm not for or against. I'm just asking you. Good afternoon, sir. Sadhguru ji As an elder, as a guest and as a achiever, you have my respect. Now, it's you've been talking about a lot of undernourishment in India, people who are undernourished. It is these very undernourished people that you have taken away the food from that nutrition. And secondly, it is these minorities who are scared to, you know, do things out of their own volition, exercise, you know, their own autonomy because of the environment they have created. And you also talked about, you know, how America, you know, respect this national anthem. There have been several politically motivated stances taken by a lot of people whereby they decided not to respect the national anthem no no they decided to respect in a different way. True. But It also by not standing up is the point here. I'm saying that, I mean, they have created an environment of coercion and violence here. All the people are being forced to do this against their autonomy. So in solidarity, if we decide to not stand for the national anthem, there are bigger things here If you if you I hope that was not rhetorical when you as this is there a solution? why you should we you know, look for a higher ideal somewhere. Why can't you just, you know, live with acceptance and tolerance instead, you know, respect these people's opinions? That's the idea. No, no. Where The acceptance and tolerance and national anthem. I don't even understand where is the relationship. Because many people don't want to stand for the national anthem because it's probably against their beliefs or, you know, they then are failing them as a nation. How well, you know, us appealing to, you know, some created deity of of nation help us. And, you know, so I. Am hundred percent with you. If we are thinking in a spiritual way, I am not identified with my nationality. I see it all. People around the world are involved with me. My work largely today, has become much bigger outside the country. Than here. So it is not to see you're looking at this in a very simplistic way or in a rudimentary way in the sense you think everybody should be either for or against. I'm not for or against. I'm just asking you. Now, you talked about the various levels of injustice which has happened in the country. Unfortunately, it's a fact The question is to correct this Should we stay together or each one of us do our own thing and hopefully get corrected? I'm just saying that staying together can happen by acceptance and tolerance. And. Yes, sir. But that's not happen, right? It can happen in theory. But has it happened? Just one last point I want to make. You have so much soft power as a celebrity and, you know, as a mystic who is well known throughout India and the state at the same time is the state. Well, so, I mean, in such a politically charged environment us taking the stance, I do think that's problematic, too. You know, a lot of the you know, communities disagree with what's. Happening, what stance have I taken In terms of saying that, you know, national anthem should be respected. And, you know, these are things which people don't think. What would you like to respect about this nation? Please tell me and we will do that constitution at least. Let's just respect each other. That's it. See, where is each other. We don't meet each other right. Every day. So please understand, when we say a nation, we are not talking. It's a flag or it's an anthem. When we say a nation we are talking. It's a certain people. So there are certain symbols which represent these people whom you call as Indians right now. So why three stripe colors? Why can't we have seven colors? Yes, we can have. Why not? If you want to redefine the flag, you can. But right now, this is it. All right. If you want to change the design, we can. You want to change Anthem. We can rewrite the anthem if you wish. But I am saying, without the tools of integration, you don't make a nation. It is idealistic to say, let's not have anything. Let's just live as a global village. It's fantastic idea, but can you make it a reality? Can you execute this idea? That's all I'm asking. If there is no nationality in the world, it'll be a fantastic world. But are we capable of doing that within a state We have to break two states because we can't get along for some reason. Isn't it? See, this is not about politics. There is not enough concern about the nation and the people. The concern has not come to a whole lot of people. Still, we are in that mode our attachments to our family, our identities with our family and community is so strong. If me and my family are doing well, I don't care a damn what's happening to the country. Election Day holiday means me and my family go on a picnic, not for voting. Who will go and stand in the queue? We will go on a picnic or we'll go to the cinema. We'll do something else. Other people are going to vote. So what is there? If I don't go, this is their idea. On Election Day, nobody turns up except those who are herded by political parties with money and whatever gloating they're doing. This is an irresponsible way to exist. See, the word for democracy in Tamil language is Jana-Nayakam What this means is people are the leaders still. Our people have not understood that we are the leaders of this nation. We are still in a monarchy mindset. We think elected person is a king or an emperor. So this is lack of education, lack of information, lack of identity with the nation. A strong sense of we built this nation is not there. Somebody is going to run this nation. This is still a british hangover where we think somebody else is running the nation. We don't understand this is our nation. We have to make it what we want. Right now. We believe we have a nation where if donald trump opens up visas for all indians, 60% of the population will swim across the oceans and get to America when everybody wants to go away. We have not created a nation that people wants to live in, isn't it? When everybody wants to come here, that means we built a great nation for this. Participating in the fundamental participating in the fundamental democratic process is a must for everybody. But if you make it mandatory, it becomes ugly. As you know, even the national anthem is ugly, right? Now, something you must understand. I went to the World Cup football and I went to the English match I nev
