A lot of things are being planned for the International Day of Yoga. One
thing is, we are looking at large-scale yoga programs in multiple
locations. Another thing is to raise awareness that it is important that
it is done precisely and correctly. Above all, we want to make the
world understand that yoga is not an exercise system. It is a profound
form of evolving a human being. It is about a very deep understanding of
the human mechanics – not only of the physical dimension but of all
aspects of a human being.
Bringing this awareness is more important than lots of people doing yoga
for one day and then giving it up again. For someone to pursue
something, it must inspire them. They must feel either in their mind, in
their body, or in their emotions that this is something worth investing
their time and energy in. To get them to see the profoundness of yoga,
the nature of the offering is important. That is when the world will
take to it.
Yoga is not another kind of religion, nor
do we want to spread our brand. Human intellect is evolving in a certain
way right now. Never before in the history of humanity could such a
large number of people in the world think for themselves. All these
millennia, there were only a few people who thought reasonably for
themselves. For the rest, a scripture or a teacher would dictate what
they should think. For the first time, large numbers of people think for
themselves. Whether they think straight or not – this is a big step.
Human intellect is blossoming like never
before. Consequently, there is no room for belief systems anymore. The
whole idea that: “Don’t worry. Believe me. I will take you to heaven.
Everything will be great there. It doesn’t matter that right now you are
in hell. There, everything is going to be good” – this will not sell
anymore. As every child in the world starts receiving education and
starts thinking for themselves, as they access information by
themselves, keeping people under control and telling them, “You got to
do this, otherwise you won’t go to heaven,” will not work.
Earlier, in pursuit of wellbeing, people
have looked up. This has brought a lot of hallucination – people have
imagined all kinds of things. And it has created continuous wars between
one kind of heaven and another kind of heaven. They are fighting over a
God or a heaven that both of them have not seen, but they are willing
to fight to death. In recent times, there has been a shift towards
seeking wellbeing from the outside world. In the process of seeking
wellbeing from the world, trying to take the juice of life from outside,
we are destroying the very source of our living – the planet itself.
The message of yoga is this: “Not up, not
out – in. The only way out is in.” We are 7 billion people, and it is
expected that by 2050, we will be 10 billion people. Whatever the number
of people, if we seek wellbeing from within, we are not in conflict
with anything. If we look up, we are in conflict. If we look out, we are
in conflict. But if we look inward for our wellbeing, there is never
any conflict – not in the world, not within us. This is a successful
process, and its eco-friendly!
