SACH : Dr. Subhash Chandra Show | The Subhash Chandra Show | Zee Media |

Namaskar. The topic we are going to discuss today is something that has surely crossed your mind many times, and you have also answered it yourself. Let's see a little introduction about what we have thought on this subject. Please watch this audio-visual.

Who am I? What is this life? What is the purpose of my life? What is my identity? What is the goal of my life? We often face such questions. These questions may sound easy, but in reality, their answers are not easy. To know the answers to these questions, it is necessary to first know yourself. To listen to the voice of your conscience. Because this is not a question, but an answer in itself. Every attempt to challenge yourself is an effort to know yourself.

Yes. What did you think? What comes to your mind? I ask you this question. When you are asked this question, who are you? What will you answer?

You are a learner.

You will not call your name yourself. What is your name?

Shraddha Datta. Why don't you say that I am Shraddha Datta? The name is given only to fulfill practicality. Society gave the name, parents gave the name. It is a name in the form of practicality. If the name were the only truth, then at some time, as she said 'learner', when you progress in sports, you are called an athlete of so-and-so college. At that time, you are an athlete. Sometimes when you get good marks and a scholarship, you are a man who passed with distinction. It changes in different places. But when we talk about who am I, it is very important to do self-analysis first. It is very important to understand yourself. The path to understand yourself can also be spirituality. Education can also be a means to understand yourself. And in life, we talk about who am I. This question will continue throughout life. But from the beginning, there is also a change every time. Attitude also changes. During that time, we learn a lot and the right question is found many times. Sometimes it is not found. But I feel that a regular process continues, and for this, it is very important to inspect within yourself and we have to do all this in a regular way.

Yes. Who am I?

You are a kind of a collection of desires.

Yes?

That is what you are.

And and and later on, what did you say?

Yes. Good.

Very good. Sit down. Okay. So now, once when King Janak went to fight a battle, he was badly defeated there. He was injured. He reached a state of dying. Then his eyes opened. He called his guru. He said, 'Maharaj, Bhagwan, I had such a dream. In the dream, this happened to me. So was that true, or what I am seeing now is the truth?' So, this is a truth that we humans live in three states. One state is what we are now. Awakened. We are awake. At this time, I, Dr. Subhash Chandra, am giving you a lecture. I am doing the DSC show. You are listening to me. You are students. You know what you are doing in today's life. You are a teacher. Someone is something, someone is something. In this awakened stage, we know what we are. Right? Another state in which we live is the dream stage. When we sleep, we dream. A billionaire sees himself as a beggar. So at that time, when he is in that dream state, that is his reality. The reality of that time is the same in the dreaming state. And the third is deep sleep, in which he is in a way like a corpse. At that time, he is not dreaming. Nothing is happening. The body is sleeping as if a dead person is sleeping. So these three states of human being are considered. Understand this in any book, in anything, and this happens to you. This is a practical thing. I am not saying that I am talking about scriptures or that God told me this, or a guru told me, so I am saying this. This happens with you, with me, with everyone, doesn't it? Apart from these three states, do we live in any fourth state?

In Hindi, it is called Turiya Avastha. Turiya Avastha. They say that when a man reaches beyond this reality of the mind, he reaches that state. It is called the fourth state. But in that state, our senses stop working. It is beyond the senses. So, therefore, while being alive, apart from these three, there is no fourth state. So, if we take this point forward, as I said earlier, you all have taken many names, some said soul, some said karma yogi, one who does karma, some said something. So, if we see, we keep changing our role everywhere, at every time. And as I told you in last week's show, if you think deeply, who feels pain? When there is pain in the body, any kind of pain, whether it is swelling, or you have run a lot, or you didn't sleep at night, and you are working that day, the body starts paining. So who feels that pain? I feel it. Who is that 'I'? That 'I' who is it? We have come back to the same point again. Come, tell us. Mind in our body. Yes, mind in body. Our mind in the body feels that pain. But just like our six senses, the six doors of touch, the reactions we have to the things that happen on them, actually, the science that awakens, that hears the thing and says something has come, that science is a form of 'I'. 'I' means this body of flesh and blood, this is not 'I'. And in the dream stage too, when you go, that is also a real state. Your dreaming mind feels that too. In practical life, which is for us worldly people, we have to accept that what we want to become, how we want to be known, we will do karma accordingly, and we will be known accordingly. For that, we have to determine our goal and keep working on it. So karma also comes in between, your choices also come in between, and all the other things you all have said from different places in different ways are included in it. If we look at it from a spiritual perspective, only our science, which is of the six senses, reacts to what happens to us. That is called 'I'. Where you start doing good deeds, start having the feeling of giving to people, where compassion awakens in your mind, like you must have seen in last week's show, a Gupta ji, an 85-year-old man, distributing goods to the poor in front of All India Medical Institute. He gives food, does everything. When he went into that feeling, my 'I' was finished. I feel that in such people, in such individuals, a change happens. In the same way, if you see, today among us is a personality of the same kind. Shri Ravi Kalra. He is called the No Honking Man of India. He put stickers on over 1 lakh cars in just one week that say 'Don't Honk', 'No Honking'.

Before that, let's see an audio-visual of how he started this.

When did this thought come to your mind? How did it come that you became the No Honking Man of India?

You are missing something. When a person gets used to living in noise and you suddenly give him a peaceful environment, he will say, 'Hey, what happened? Something is missing.'

But what will you call it? When I am celebrating my birthday at home, having a party. I have invited 100-200 friends. A loud orchestra is playing. The sound is going through the whole neighborhood. What will you call that?

No one believes in them, right? They should believe, that's why the country is in a bad state right now, that we don't believe in the law. Ultimately, you who are sitting at home watching this DSC show, I want to tell you that it is we and you who spread pollution in the environment, not that there is no law in this country, there is no system. And it will come to your and my mind too, when we hear a good sound from pressure, we also feel bad. So why do we do it again and again? That's why what did our country's Prime Minister say? In every speech, he says that until the 125 crore people of this country set their own goal for something, the country cannot improve on the government's trust.

What question would you like to ask Mr. Kalra?

Very good. His point is that look, whatever animal it is, a cow will eat grass, it will be vegetarian. A lion will eat non-veg. So their mind, the mind of animals and all beings, is predetermined. Their computer is pre-programmed and fixed. They cannot do anything beyond that. But it is the human mind that can think. It can recognize good and evil. It can act on it. Compassion can awaken in it. Hatred can also awaken. Both awaken. What would you like to say to the viewers sitting at my house watching this show?

Very good. Sir, thank you very much for coming to my show.

I don't believe that I am the only motivator in the DSC show or that I am alone. We have many more motivators in this country. So, among us today, I have invited a guest. Sanchi Soni ji is a mountaineer. She is among us. I would like to call her to talk to you. Welcome, Sanchi.

You are the first from the country to reach Mount Elbrus, climb Australia's 10 highest peaks, North America's highest peaks at -40 degrees, and pull 16 kg of weight for 22 days. Can you look... does she look like that? I don't think she looks like that to me. Where do you get this energy from?

Come, your questions for Sanchi.

Very good. Very good. There will be nothing that will seem impossible to you in life.

Apart from your family, whose advice do you take? If you get stuck somewhere, get stuck somewhere, is there any teacher or someone? Whose advice do you take? If you get entangled somewhere, in the mind, in the mind, in something else. Sometimes, the quicker you want to reach the mountain, you couldn't reach. Sometimes negativity comes to the mind. Sometimes you get tired. There, you feel in your mind sometimes that, 'I wish I had reached the mountain by now. I am so tired now, I feel like resting.' If such a situation happens, then what do you think?

Oh, like difficulty... difficulty has become a way of life for you.

Come, one more question for you.

We say the same thing about mountains, as Sanchi said, the sea also calls in the same way. Absolutely. Those who do scuba diving under the sea, they also realize there how people are living in harmony, how everything is going on in harmony, like a symphony.

One more thing I would like to add to what Sanchi said. What she said is a very valid point. When you see, today the human brain, the more we use it, perhaps we don't even use 10% of our brain's capacity. If we do this, develop our mind, use it more, like she said, my brain, brain cells opened up inside it. So this will happen with you. Yes, what is your message to my viewers sitting at home?

Very good. Thank you very much, Sanchi. Thank you very much for coming here and motivating our people here and those sitting at home watching you. Thank you. All the best.

What is today's learning? Who would like to tell?

This is a very good question of yours. Very good. As I said before, first of all, what do you want to become? How do you want to know yourself, introduce yourself to people? Decide that and start working for it. And where to start working from? By living in the present. What are you at this time? At this time, you are a learner. That is what you are. When the question is asked, who am I? I am a learner at this moment. This is the fact of this moment. Okay? Then, when you leave from here, you are playing a game. You please concentrate in that. At that time, you are a sportsman. You should remind yourself that at the moment, my dharma is to play this game. Work with devotion towards this game. When you are interacting with your parents at home. There, you are a son. How to behave with your parents, how to deal with them, you have to know that. At that time, you are working as a son. So the answer to 'who am I' will be different in different states. But you have to learn to live in the present. What am I at this time? Don't try to search beyond that. If you talk about searching beyond that, you will go into the realm of spirituality. There is time for that, in my opinion. Yes, what did you learn just now?

I agree with you. I agree with you 100%. Thank you very much.

Look, as Sanchi said, when you do something at one time, give it 100% to that. Don't confuse yourself. But sir, if I... short-term, long-term, long-short, short-shot, don't go into this. Today, I have to decide what my first stop is. From this station, I will leave. After this, what is my next stop? When you reach that stop, and when you have to move forward from there, then decide where to go next. So there will be no confusion. If there is no confusion, then you will not get this dilemma. So the conclusion of today's talk is that you are different at different times. You cannot know yourself by the name of any one entity. This is my belief. And secondly, the more you have the feeling of giving and knowing, as far as you have, like you did by seeing Mr. Kalra, your feeling will be clearer about yourself and in recognizing yourself. And thirdly, as Sanchi said, whatever you do, do it 100%. Don't do it 99.99%. So this is today's conclusion. And whatever there is, it is within you. Don't look for it outside. Look within you. You will find everything within you. You will keep finding it there. I would like to call Nand Kishore Garg, Chairperson of this university, to say a few words to my audiences and to all of you as well.

With this, thank you all very much.
