Now the question is, is self realization possible for an animal, is that the question?
-
The animal and uneducated, innocent, violent persons.
-
See uneducated, innocent, violent is different and animal is different.
-
Now when we say animal and human, we are not talking in terms of which is superior.
-
It's not a question of superiority, inferiority.
-
It’s a question of evolution; it’s a question of energy existing in a certain level of evolution.
-
See it’s the mud, the mud that you walk on is actually your body, isn’t it?
-
It’s from that you are eating. Isn’t it so?
-
And it’s become like this it’s the same material, isn’t it?
-
But is it the same? Or let me give you a more blunt analogy.
-
Today night you’ll have dinner, good food served on your plate, you will like it so much, with so much like you ate this.
-
Tomorrow morning, what has happened to this food?
-
It has become shit, isn’t it? Same stuff or not?
-
What you ate with so much liking, is it the same stuff?
-
Can you handle both of them the same way?
-
What is it then?
-
It’s the same stuff but you cannot handle both of them the same way, isn’t it?
-
Because they are in a different state.
-
Your food has become excreta, this you love so much, that you don’t want to go anywhere near it; same
stuff, same energy but it’s different.
-
So you can’t do the same things with both, isn’t it?
-
Similarly, it’s not the... but once again, if you want to grow your food, you need either your excreta or animal excreta or something to grow, isn’t it?
-
So we can use it that way but can we take it on our plate and eat it? No?
-
So every state, the same energy manifesting in different ways but you have to handle them different ways, depending upon in which state it is.
-
So now, if I bring one dog here and try to make him meditate.
-
I may love the dog, I can just caress the dog and make him feel comfortable and nice, give him food, make him comfortable.
-
I can love him, make him love me, that’s all.
-
But if I try to make him meditate, it’ll be foolish because that is not how his energy is right now.
-
Not because he’s inferior or you are superior or something, right now that is the state in which he is functioning.
-
Now, this energy has come to this state.
-
Here something else can be done which cannot be done there.
-
So that’s why it’s being done here, not there.
-
And there, there is nothing much to be done because most of it is in nature’s hands for him, okay?
-
Not so much is in his hands, he’s never a bad dog or a bad tiger, did you see?
-
They're all good tigers, isn’t it?
-
Only human beings are the problem.
