00:00If you are so bothered about the coming generations of kids, then the first thing you would ensure is that kids keep coming.
00:06Now he will have a quarrel with me.
00:07I found tigers, bears, leopards, but no lions.
00:12Do you know, Parmishwari, why the lions are disappearing?
00:16That unless you put a stop on the coming generations, you will have no lions and no jungles and no rivers very soon.
00:26Just an hour back, I was reading the Yamuna in Delhi is practically dead.
00:30If you look at its oxygen demand figures, you will realize there is nothing in it to be called a river.
00:37Who did that? The fish? The turtles? The crocodiles? No.
00:42Teach the kids that this planet cannot tolerate even one more human being now.
00:49But nobody ever dares to call out the huge elephant in the room,
00:55which is that the simplest solution to the problem of climate change is the control of...
01:08What kind of change our education system needs to have so that our coming generations live together in peace and fulfillment?
01:25Why Parmishwari?
01:26Why Parmishwari?
01:27Why Parmishwari?
01:28Why Parmishwari?
01:29Why must you think about the coming generations?
01:46Why Parmishwari?
01:47Is this not the language of the old matriarch who first of all ensures
01:59the old matriarch who first of all ensures that the women in the family keep giving
02:27birth, that the cycle of lust, pregnancy and procreation continues.
02:46I would have loved it had you asked something about yourself.
03:14But tonight I see that I is present only once in your entire statement.
03:30You are talking the language of we.
03:33I would have loved it had you asked something about yourself.
03:41I would have accepted it had you asked something about others.
03:54You want to serve the other.
03:58You want to liberate the other in your compassion.
04:04That's nice.
04:09But you have neither asked about yourself nor have you asked about the other.
04:16You have rather asked about the coming generations of kids.
04:21If you are so bothered about the coming generations of kids, then the first thing you would ensure
04:28is that kids keep coming, now you will have a quarrel with me.
04:40We were at Bhopal yesterday, you know.
05:00The camp just concluded.
05:04And they have created a place not far from the city where they have lions and leopards and
05:16tigers, tigers all exhibited.
05:26And then I started reading about the conditions of these animals and their numbers are rapidly falling.
05:41It's almost as if tomorrow they would be extinct.
05:53And in the place I am mentioning, I found tigers, bears, leopards, but no lions.
06:04So I just started reading a bit on lions and I discovered that in India lions are now found only in Gujarat,
06:22and that in the last two years itself, India has lost close to 20% of its total lion population.
06:42And you know, Paramishwari, why the lions are disappearing?
06:51Because people are having kids.
07:04The jungles have become so small, half of the lions of Gujarat are living outside the protected areas.
07:14The protected areas are not big enough to accommodate any decent number of lions.
07:21So where are the lions living?
07:23Outside the protected areas.
07:26And there they constantly come in touch with populations and populations are burgeoning.
07:37And these coming generations that you are so fondly talking of, Paramishwari, they need land.
07:46Their kids need food.
07:48So every successive generation, rather every year, is cutting down trees.
07:56And that is bringing these animals in contact with man.
08:00And when animal comes in contact with man, you know who would survive and who would be dead.
08:14If you really want to educate kids, Paramishwari, educate kids of this generation, not the coming generations,
08:22and educate kids of this generation to not to have kids, do not talk the language of the old and deeply conditioned grandmother,
08:38their children, whose deepest wish is that the tribe keeps growing.
09:02If you have followed me to this point, you would have also seen what would be the shape that the right education for today's generation should take.
09:22Rabbits are merely prakrati.
09:25So they are conditioned to procreate.
09:34If we want this generation to not to procreate, what must be taught to them?
09:41That you are not just prakrati.
09:43This is the education that you need to disseminate Paramishwari.
09:51Rabbits will reproduce because they are just prakrati.
09:54And that's what prakrati wants.
09:57More copies of the rabbit's DNA.
09:59Because more copies mean more chances of survival.
10:03It's like taking backup of a hard disk.
10:05If there are two copies, then chances of survival are double.
10:10One copy might get lost, then the other copy survives.
10:14And that's why rabbits procreate so copiously, so frequently, because they are small and defenseless.
10:30They know that a lot of the baby rabbits will die.
10:34So a lot of them are born so that at least a few survive.
10:39And thereby the species continues to just exist.
10:45Existence is all that prakrati wants.
10:52Teach the kids Paramishwari that they are not just prakrati.
10:58Teach the boys and teach the girls.
11:05Teach them that they do not exist to dance to the tunes of the body and the brain.
11:16Teach them that they are not chemicals to react to other chemicals called hormones.
11:29Unless you teach them this beyondness, every successive generation will be heavier, bulkier, more numerous and more ignorant than the preceding one.
11:43See what you are doing.
11:50In your entire statement of apparent goodwill, have you mentioned forests anywhere?
12:00Have you mentioned rabbits and lions anywhere?
12:06You just want good to happen to the next generations of homo sapiens.
12:14And what about the millions of other species, Paramishwari, where is your compassion?
12:29But such is man's lot.
12:40He cannot do anything selflessly.
12:43If he talks of saving the rivers, he says, let's save the rivers so that our grandchildren
12:53children have pure water to drink, what nonsense, it's like saying, don't kill the girl child so
13:07that tomorrow somebody's male child may have a sexy girlfriend.
13:20And that is exactly what is happening in many of the save the girl child campaigns.
13:34Many of these campaigns say, if today you kill the girl child tomorrow, how will you find a bride for your son?
13:45So the girl has no independent worth of her own, right?
13:54If we go by the government propaganda.
13:59Even if she is to be saved, her worth relates to the pleasure and service she would bring to the males.
14:15And what if she brings no pleasure, no service, no gratification to men, then she doesn't deserve to live?
14:34But no, if it originates from men, then it is obsessed with the welfare of just the men.
14:52Homosapiens.
14:53Similarly, you are obsessed with the welfare of just the homosapiens species.
15:19So casually you have said, what kind of change our education system needs to have so that our coming generations live together in peace and fulfillment?
15:30Live together with each other, right?
15:35You haven't said they live together with the trees, the rivers, the rabbits and the lions.
15:43And you don't appreciate that unless you put a stop on the coming generations, you will have no lions and no jungles and no rivers very soon.
16:08Just an hour back, I was reading the Yamuna in Delhi is practically dead.
16:20If you look at its oxygen demand figures, you realize there is nothing in it to be called a river.
16:32Who did that?
16:39Who did that?
16:40The fish?
16:41The turtles?
16:42The crocodiles?
16:43No.
16:44The massive generations coming one after the other.
16:55And grandmothers kept wishing and kept blessing that the brides are constantly pregnant.
17:11And Yamuna died.
17:26If you want to teach Parmeshwari, teach what I have just taught you.
17:32Teach the kids that this planet cannot tolerate even one more human being now.
17:48We are already 8 billion.
17:51At the current rate, we are projected to be 11 billion by 2050.
17:58We cannot even tolerate 8.1 billion.
18:10We do not merely want to have kids.
18:11You also want the kids to live happily, right?
18:17And happiness in common parlance means consumption.
18:23Even at the current rate of consumption, this entire planet is not sufficient to meet the needs of this population.
18:37You require multiple Earths.
18:40And this is at just the current rate of consumption, not the aspired rate of consumption.
18:46We all aspire to consume more and more, right?
18:51At the aspired rate of consumption, you will require a hundred Earths to fulfill the needs of these billions.
18:59From where will you get those hundred Earths?
19:11If there is one thing that we must not talk of as something very beautiful,
19:18beautiful is the coming of the next generation.
19:23It is not beautiful.
19:26It is not auspicious.
19:29It is not something to be talked of with a smile.
19:32It is something to be talked of with an alarm.
19:39Somebody gets pregnant.
19:41That's not good news.
19:46That's almost catastrophic if you ask the rabbits and the lions.
20:07Teach this parmeshwari.
20:14Teach the girls that their body is not an instrument to bear kids.
20:34Teach them that their self-worth is not at all linked to their motherhood.
20:41Teach them where the real fulfillment of life lies.
20:50And teach them that it is not in birthing or breastfeeding.
21:03Teach them creativity.
21:05Teach them love.
21:06Teach them.
21:07Teach them.
21:08Teach them love.
21:10Teach them.
21:11Teach them.
21:12Teach them.
21:18Give them the kind of knowledge that would help them live truthfully.
21:20Give them
21:23the kind of knowledge
21:25that would help them
21:27live truthfully.
21:30This is what you need to teach them.
21:36And teach this generation.
21:41Don't think of them.
21:43Future ones.
21:50Many of the kids that you teach today
22:07would probably go into the media tomorrow.
22:10Teach them
22:11to not to
22:13declare it a celebration.
22:20When
22:22a celebrity
22:24gets pregnant.
22:31Teach them to avoid
22:34those fancy pics of baby showers
22:36etc.
22:45Teach them to
22:47avoid headlines like
22:51these pictures of
23:04Samya
23:05and her newborn
23:12would give you baby goals.
23:28These
23:28amazing pics
23:33of the celebrity couple
23:36wedding in Italy
23:40would give you marriage goals.
23:45Teach them to avoid
23:47this toxic
23:48propaganda.
23:55We don't
23:57just
23:57procreate.
24:00we are
24:01made to
24:02procreate.
24:04A celebrity
24:04couple
24:05gives birth.
24:09My rabbits
24:10give birth.
24:13Same thing.
24:16But the media
24:17keeps
24:18splashing
24:19the face
24:21of this kid
24:22this baby
24:22incessantly
24:24incessantly.
24:25a thousand
24:30more women
24:31are
24:32then
24:33influenced
24:35rather
24:36compelled
24:36to give
24:39birth.
24:40The media
24:40is constantly
24:41telling you
24:42look at this baby
24:42this is what
24:46you need.
24:47This is what
24:47would give you
24:48happiness.
24:49This is what
24:50would give you
24:50the headlines
24:51as well.
24:52Now
24:54what's
24:55there
24:55in that
24:57kid?
24:59All kids
25:00are the same.
25:15And the
25:16kids
25:16ex-celebrity
25:18mother
25:18might actually
25:19be out of
25:20business
25:20these days
25:21having no
25:22work.
25:26But the
25:26kid affords
25:27the headlines
25:29to her as
25:29well.
25:30So she's
25:31happy you
25:32see.
25:33Otherwise
25:33who would
25:33have
25:33talked of
25:35me?
25:37Who would
25:37have
25:37kept me
25:39relevant?
25:40But this
25:41one is
25:41keeping me
25:42fully relevant.
25:42so the
25:52parents now
25:53know
25:53what can
25:55give them
25:55some
25:58respect,
25:59some
25:59relevance,
26:00some
26:02attention.
26:02teach
26:13teach the
26:13kids
26:13permission
26:14that this
26:15is the
26:15worst
26:15way
26:16to become
26:22relevant.
26:22we all
26:34know
26:34that the
26:37biggest threat
26:38facing
26:39this planet,
26:41mankind,
26:41today is
26:42catastrophic
26:43climate change.
26:44and there
26:46are huge
26:47international
26:47conferences
26:48in which
26:49all kinds
26:51of diverse
26:51measures
26:52are discussed
26:53and then
26:54there is a
26:55slew of
26:55recommendations.
26:58Experts,
26:59the
27:02so-called
27:02most
27:03intelligent
27:03people on
27:04the planet
27:04come together
27:07and rack
27:08their brains
27:08to come up
27:09with solutions.
27:13But
27:14nobody
27:14ever
27:16dares
27:16to
27:17call out
27:18the
27:19huge
27:19elephant
27:20in the
27:20room
27:21which is
27:22that the
27:23simplest
27:23solution
27:24to the
27:28problem
27:29of climate
27:29change
27:30is the
27:37control
27:38of
27:39human
27:40population.
27:44You
27:44don't need
27:45to do
27:46anything
27:46fancy
27:47to check
27:48climate
27:48change.
27:52Limit
27:53the number
27:54of human
27:54beings
27:54and
27:55the
27:56earth's
27:58health
27:58will be
27:59restored
27:59very
27:59quickly.
28:02Nothing
28:02else is
28:02needed.
28:03The
28:03biggest
28:03contributor
28:04to climate
28:05change
28:06rather
28:06the only
28:07contributor
28:08to climate
28:08change
28:09is
28:09human
28:10beings
28:11and
28:11their
28:11consumption.
28:16Quantity
28:16multiplied
28:17by
28:17consumption
28:20per head
28:20and both
28:24go together.
28:30The
28:30very
28:31occurrence
28:31of the
28:32quantity
28:32is because
28:34of a
28:34desire to
28:35consume.
28:38So it
28:39is not
28:40quantity
28:40multiplied
28:41by consumption.
28:42It is
28:42quantity
28:43square.
28:44Quantity
28:44multiplied
28:45by itself.
28:48Limit
28:48the quantity
28:49and everything
28:50will be
28:51alright.
28:53Quite
28:53simply,
28:54quite
28:55obviously.
28:56But nobody
28:57ever talks
28:58of this
29:00obvious
29:01step.
29:01teach
29:10them
29:10this
29:11parmeshwari.
29:27I'm not
29:28merely
29:28talking
29:28from
29:29a
29:30position
29:30of
29:31compassion.
29:31you
29:33know
29:33very
29:34well
29:34that if
29:38the
29:38forests
29:39are not
29:39there
29:39and the
29:41rabbits
29:41and lions
29:41are not
29:42there,
29:43you too
29:44cannot
29:44be
29:44there.
29:53It's
29:53an
29:53existential
29:54threat
29:55threat
29:56and the
30:01threat
30:02is right
30:02on our
30:03head.
30:05It's
30:06happening
30:06faster
30:07than the
30:08scientific
30:08predictions.
30:09the
30:10forecasts
30:11are being
30:16overtaken.
30:17and if you want to teach them all this parmeshwari,
30:41you will have to teach them a lot of what I have been teaching you since the last
30:48many months.
30:49So now you know what to teach this generation.
30:54teach them what I have taught you, that's all.
31:03That's all.
31:04gonna be
31:14come back.
31:15come back.
