How to invest your life for well being?

“There is something happening in nature between 3:30 AM to 3:40 AM. So it’s a very significant part of time.” And how do people start on this path? Because a lot of this makes sense to people but in the world they live in they don’t know where to start… If i teach you a way where you can manage your chemistry the way you want, but we need 32 hours of focus time. Do you think your life is valuable enough for that much investment? Every human being wants his life enhanced, if you don’t show them proper ways to enhance, they will find shortcuts. A man who goes to a bar and a man who goes to the church, or temple or whatever, they are seeking the same thing, they are trying to enhance their life! If you don’t show them the proper way, they will take whatever ways are available on the streat. That’s all. You want to go forward but it sets you backwards. Your intelligence has turned against you. If your intelligence were working for you, would you create blissfulness or misery? 80–85% of the population today is on alcohol or some kind of drugs. We have come to a place, where to grow our food we need chemicals, to be healthfull we need chemicals. Today 70% of the population is on prescription medication of some sort, to be peaceful we need chemicals, to be joyful we need chemicals, to be ecstatic, of course, we have ecstasy. So we are going towards chemicals in a huge way! The water that you drink is full of chemicals, the air you breathe is like that and the food you eat is like that. So if 90% of humanity goes into chemical consumption, consciously or unconsciously, they consume a lot of it. The next generation we produce will be of a lesser quality than who we are! That’s a crime against humanity. So right now chemical is a net; it’s not another trapeze. It’s a net that you can fall into and people experience their own little heaven, but it ruins you in so many ways. The important thing about life, whether it’s a grasshopper out there or you, both of us are striving to be the fullest possible life that we can be. A grasshopper is trying to be a fulfilled grasshopper; A human being is trying to be a fulfilled human being. So similarly for a human being, if you take away any of his faculties, in any way, even temporarily, have you enhanced his life? So intoxication is just that: it is taking away your faculties for a period of time, but if you continuously do it, it will take it away from your life! So you are taking away or you are subjugating your faculties for a little bit of pleasure, or maybe a lot of pleasure, however you wish to describe it. But the important thing is you are taking backward steps with life because life can only be enhanced by sharpening and increasing our faculties; not by decreasing our faculties! This means we are taking a backward step. Though there may be pleasure attached to it, because you need to understand that the greatest chemical factory, the most sophisticated chemical factory is right here. If you are a great manager, you will produce what you want from this, if you are a lousy manager, you do wrong things, you get anxiety, you get something else, you get rubbish going on within you because you are misusing your chemical factory, you don’t know how to manage your chemical factory. Why has your intelligence turned against you? There is no stable base, so the entire yogic system is about this: that you create a stable base so that your intelligence works for you. If your intelligence turns against you, no power in the universe is going to save you. You are a done thing. We talk in the books about thoughts, we are obsessed with thoughts in this world and I’m thinking this and I’m thinking that…well when we say I’m thinking this, another way of saying this is I’m making of this, I’m making of that. You can make up whatever you want, as long as you enjoy it! But that can be dangerous. Always trying to think of the solution; Always trying to be your thoughts…if you become what you make up, it’s unfortunate. Your thoughts belong to you, or you belong to the thoughts, you must make up your mind! The whole human experience comes from within. Many books tell you how to milk happiness from something else or somebody else, but all human experience is generated from within! What comes from around you may not be the way you want it, but what comes from within you must be the way you want it. If whatever happens within you the way you want it, will you be blessed out or miserable? Many people want to learn about how to control their own mind. Do you want your mind controlled or liberated? Of Course liberated! But how to control it because they think that intelligence is a serious problem and has been in their lives. So the solution is if you remove a part of your brain you will be fine. You are essentially complaining about ”I wish I had the brain of another one! This human brain I’m not able to handle!” That’s a fact. Charles Darwin said that you evolved out of a monkey. You are a monkey, then you become a man. The DNA difference between a chimpanzee and you is only 1.23%! So in this sense, physiologically, you are only 1.23% away from a chimpanzee. It’s just a shade of difference. But in terms of intelligence and awareness you are worlds apart from a chimpanzee. So your problem is just this: you have an intelligence for which you don’t have a stable enough platform! If i
