You can produce very great intellects, very

great energy individual human beings

carrying phenomenal sense of energy,

intellect and capability if you create large

consecrated spaces.

Questioner: Sadhguru, the volunteers and brahmacharis

in the ashram seem to be so active and doing everything

so well. They never seem to slow down. What is the

secret?

Sadhguru:When would a human being do everything well?When for him, handling his body, his mind and his emotion is

not an issue he is not an issue only then he can do everything

well. A few years ago, I was in Lausanne at the Blue Brain Project.

The project is a phenomenal effort which has been going on for

the last six years and it will take another ten to twelve years to

complete if it is well funded. The idea is to map the human brain

and to understand the potential that the brain carries.

Already, what they have discovered or what they have

uncovered is quite phenomenal for the scientic community, but

it is a cruel joke on the yogis because we have been saying this

for thousands of years. When human beings, out of whose brains

all these damn super computers came out, said it, people said

No, such things are not possible. But now that machines aresaying it, everyone is raising a thumbs up.

Today, there is enough proof to clearly say that irrespective

of your genetics, irrespective of who your father or grandfather

was, irrespective of the information that you carry in your

DNA, you can rewire your brain completely in a moment. The

possibility is there. How? They dont know, but they see it is

possible because everything is so exible and mobile inside.

Everything can be changed.

One more thing that they are saying is that each neuron in the

brain is processing some trillion and odd number of functions per

second. Just a handful of neurons could do the normal activity

of our life twenty years of education and running your career

or profession. But we have billions of them. What for? If ever

even a reasonable number of them are put to use, human beingswill live like gods. Actually, in this culture we have always been

saying that many human beings lived better than gods. When

gods had problems they came looking for the sages. That is what

the culture says, repeatedly. These are not just stories. There are

many real life examples.

People who have been reared in a certain atmospherehave shown phenomenal capabilities. This is a culture where

mathematics was never really pursued as an academic subject,

yet the greatest mathematicians have always come from India.

You got a zero from India. Without a zero, what mathematics

would you do? And in more recent times, Ramanujam came

from Tamil Nadu. At the age of twelve, just by chance he came

across a book full of formulas. Someone had left it somewhere.

He picked it up and ipped through it, and he just understood

the whole science of what is being said through these formulas.

Then he sat down and wrote down a book full of formulas of his

own.

He looked at every aspect of nature and made a mathematical

formula for it a whole book full. He closed his eyes, lookedat himself and wrote formulas. Nobody could understand what

he was doing, but just looking at the boys focus and intensity,

difference in your life, but being around a consecrated space is

going to make a phenomenal difference in your life. With this

understanding, they built human habitations like this: if there

are 25 houses, there must be one temple. Whether you go there

or not, whether you pray or not, whether you know the mantra

or not, is not the point. You must be in a consecrated space every

moment of your life.

Consecration is a live process. It is like this: if you transform

mud into food, we call this agriculture. If you make food into esh

and bone, we call this digestion. If you make esh into mud, we

call this cremation. If you can make this esh or even a stone or anempty space into a divine possibility, that is called consecration.

Today, modern science is telling you that everything is the same

energy manifesting itself in a million different ways. If that is so,

what you call the divine, what you call a stone, what you call a

man or a woman, what you call a demon, are all the same energy

functioning in different ways. For example, the same electricitybecomes light, sound and so many other things, depending upon

the technology. So it is just a question of technology. If you have

the necessary technology, you can make the simple space around

you into a divine exuberance, you can just take a piece of rock

and make it into a god or a goddess. This is the phenomenon of

consecration.

An enormous amount of knowledge about this dimension of

life was perpetuated particularly in this culture, and this was held

as the most important thing. Because it does not matter what you

are eating, how you are or how long you live, at some point a

need will come that you want to get in touch with the source of

creation. If that possibility is not created across the planet and

is not available to every human being who seeks, then societyhas failed to provide true wellbeing for a human being. It is with

this awareness that in this culture, every street had three temples

because even a few meters should not pass without there being a

consecrated space. The idea was not to create one temple versus

the other; the idea was that nobody should walk in a space which

is not consecrated, nobody should live in a space which is not

consecrated.

It is my dream that someday the whole of humanity should

live in consecrated spaces. Your home should be consecrated,

your street should be consecrated, your ofce should be

consecrated. Wherever you spend time, those spaces must be

consecrated. There is a certain beauty. Your evolution need not

stick to the Darwinian scale. You can simply leapfrog and goif you live in a charged space. We can actually scientically

establish this, in just one day of initiation, like brahmacharis

and others who are going into various other processes here not

just the basic processes, but people who live in the ashram who

are going through many other things in a single day we can

show a phenomenal change happening in their brain function, intheir physiological function, and in their genetic material.

This is the signicance that when someone takes

brahmacharya11 orsanyas,12 he will do the kriya that he is

supposed to do after his parents are dead, when the parents are

still alive, because he is even washing off the genetic material

from his system. His father has no inuence anymore. Maybe

my nose looks like my fathers nose but none of his stuff is in

me. I cleaned it up. That is what asanyasi is saying. When he

leaves a tarpana for a live father which is an insult because

the man is alive and you are doing death rituals for him he is

articulate and tell people, I am also well, I went for a medical

check-up yesterday, not that kind of wellness. If you simply

sit here, you are blissed out. It is a different kind of wellness

which every human being is capable of. If a large number of

people are constantly touched by consecrated spaces, you would

see, human beings would blossom with a completely different

sense of wholeness, homogeneity and organic way of looking at

life, and above all as full-edged human beings.
