00:00 If there is no Gita in your education, you are condemning yourself to lifelong slavery.

00:12 How exciting.

00:15 How exciting.

00:16 And that's the reason why even those who are not remembered particularly for their spiritual

00:26 inclination, people like Subhash Chandra Bose, even they founded their core on Gita.

00:42 When you think of the armed revolutionaries, Rajguru, Sukhdev, even Bhagat Singh, you do

00:53 not think of them as particularly spiritual people, do you?

00:57 You think of them as young, dashing firebrands with guns in their hand.

01:08 What is not shown to you is that they also had the Gita in their hand.

01:18 And some part of that propaganda has been deliberate.

01:21 For example, we are told that Bhagat Singh was a diehard atheist.

01:28 And the title of one of his books is often quoted.

01:32 But if you really go into his life, oh very short lifespan he had, 22-23 years, you will

01:40 find he was a voracious reader and he had a great love for spiritual scriptures as well.

01:47 There is no revolution possible without the Gita.

01:55 And if you are someone who thinks of the Gita as something old-fashioned and this and that,

02:01 I won't even wish luck to you.

02:03 No point wishing luck to you.

02:06 Even luck cannot save you.

02:08 Finished.

02:09 Game up.

02:10 Are you getting it?

02:15 It's therefore very important to read on your own of the people in the world who have contributed

02:28 in remarkable ways.

02:34 Those people can be counted on fingertips, but they are the ones who have made life worth

02:38 living.

02:40 And if you go into the details of their lives, you will invariably find very strong spiritual

02:48 imprints.

02:50 It is impossible to be a great person in any field without being spiritual.

02:56 And being spiritual is not about conforming to the images of spirituality, wearing particular

03:03 colors, following traditions or superstitions or rituals.

03:11 Spirituality is none of that.

03:13 Spirituality is simply what our friend here referred to.

03:18 An opening up of the mind, an awakening of consciousness.

03:23 There is nothing esoteric, nothing mystical in it.

03:28 What we are having here is a spiritual process.

03:32 It's much the same as any other classroom lecture.

03:38 There can be a textbook and there can be a syllabus.

03:41 And this field deserves that.

03:47 It's called education of the self.

03:51 Knowing what your mind is like.

03:55 It's close to psychology.

04:00 It incorporates elements of neuroscience as well.

04:04 But it has one thing that sciences do not want to touch.

04:10 The urge of the ego for liberation.

04:15 Therefore spirituality includes love.

04:19 Love of the highest order.

04:22 The love of the ego for its liberated self, for its liberated state.

04:28 It's not a state, but still.

04:32 Are you getting it?

04:33 If you are somebody who wants to really be big in life, then you must realize that bigness

04:45 is the prerogative of what the Upanishads call as Atma.

04:50 Atma Anant Asim.

04:54 Not just big, but infinite, limitless, boundaryless.
