Does the Future Seem Very Hopeful to You? Sadhguru

Prediction

What's going to happen in the future.

See...

If....

If my whole thing was to make a prediction

Then why would we do all this work

It doesn't matter how bleak the situation

looks like now.

But don't ever underestimate what is in the human heart

What people really want. Don't underestimate that

In ten years time

the whole world may just be changed into a complete different possibility

You Know?

It is just that people need sufficient poking to get them going

But when they get going, you don't know what they can do

They can do something that's never happened on the planet till now

Isn't it?

Isn't it so?

So..

Don't try to predict future

See what kind of future do you want to create

Why are we always trying to predict future

I want you to set a goal

before I die, I want to leave the world at least this much better

Wouldn't that be better?

Instead of predicting future

Why don't you set a goal for yourself

Before I leave this world, I will make it at least this good

If all of us set a goal like that

Definitely there is a wonderful future ahead

Isn't it?

We are hoping from the stars some guidance will come

Stars are dumb inanimate rocks

OK?

You are supposed to have brains and intelligence

They don't have all that

They are just far away

But they are just dumb unintelligent rocks

Isn't it so?

Yes or no?

Just because they are far away we don't have to attach such importance to them

They are not guiding our lives

Human destiny is in human hands

How we handle it, that's what it will become

If you handle it sensibly, definitely there is a wonderful tomorrow

If you handle it foolishly definitely there is going to be a terrible tomorrow

Isn't it?

So don't predict.

Predictions means an insult to humanity

All predictions are a terrible insult to humanity

Isn't it?

Isn't it so?

That means there is no value

for what a human being is

All this nonsense is happening simply because

you have not realized the immensity of being human

How big it is to be a human being

has not been realized

The very wonderful stories in India. You must have heard

In India there are stories like this

If Gods have any problems

They get into trouble

They will come down to meet the sages and saints

For advice and consultancy

You know that?

This is just to tell you

A human being can raise himself to such a stage

That even the Gods will have to seek advice from him

Just to tell you, the immensity of being human

What it means

So..

If you realize the immensity of being a human being

Then you won't predict, you will create

You just have to create, not predict
