[intro music]
I don't vote. I don't think my vote means anything.
I don't think it changes any opinion.
Yeah, and I wouldn't continue to even consider voting.
I just feel like what is, what is the point?
I am voiceless. No-one's gonna listen to me anyway.
[music]
The government seems to be really helping out up here
and not a lot's going on down here.
And this is why people down here don't vote because what's the point?
They're not listening to us in the first place.
What I would like is more of an advocate for, in particular, women,
young women that have left dangerous situations or toxic relationships.
For them to be embraced and empowered
rather than, like oh here we go, that's another single mum.
Oh it's a situation she got herself into. It shouldn't be viewed upon like that.
It would be really, there's a lot of talk about domestic violence, we're anti this, we're anti that
but what programme is there out there going, these women are primo. They're awesome. They're got a set of nuts, they've gone,
I'm not having this, I'm not having this in front of my kids.
I'm not having this lifestyle.
I'm not going to have my sons grow up seeing their mother feeling like this, or in tears or being hit or sworn at,
because I want my sons to grow up to be strong men.
Where's the support for those women? Where's that voice? That, I would like to see.
The whole situation's sort of heartbreaking cause you look at it and
you've got your own relationship to deal with and how you feel about that person
and then you've got the two kids to look after and you've got the animals and
I found myself staying, my last relationship I stayed in it for too long because
I found myself staying, my last relationship I stayed in it for too long because the whole, the bigger picture. I have to move house.
the whole, the bigger picture. I have to move house.
We're going to have to separate everything out.
I've got no money, so I have to go back on the benefit. How am I going to get a bond for a house?
How are the kids going to feel about us, and we have to uproot them out of school.
It's overwhelming, it's scary, it's terrifying.
And all of a sudden you're on your own
but you make that, well I, I made that choice because it was what was best for my kids.
I didn't wanna upset them and I thought if I just sucked it up,
ya know, if I just suck this up then I don't have to upset their lives.
We don't have to move house again, and go through that again.
It's just shit to be honest. It's shit.
I've tried watching Parliamentary TV, I watched it on the news, um, like the morning show.
And I hear these politicians speak and I do not understand a single thing that they are talking about.
What I care about is my kids and what's in their future and their best interest.
Maybe if they toned it down a little bit and actually spoke a language that I could understand then I would engage more.
I would probably care more.
But I simply, I just don't understand what they're talking about.
Clearly people who are on the margins of society
feel that society is not necessarily geared up to represent their interests
and that's one reason why they lack interest in politics.
The problem is that if they were to become more interested in politics and if they were to vote
then society would potentially pay a little bit more attention to their problems.
I became homeless. I had lived on the streets for seven years.
It's just horrible.
For me being in that situation it was, and I didn't know where to turn and
I had to go to the streets and ask for where do we eat? Where do we get this?
And I didn't even tell them that I had a newborn baby.
Ya know, they thought I lived in a house. They didn't realise that I lived under the bridge where the cable car was.
Up on the hill with my baby.
And then my baby turned one and then we got a house.
So, its, yeah, I would like to see them do anything for the homeless.
And seeing people begging for money.
And that could be your own brother. You know, my own brother's doing it too. Now.
And he's out there hustling and stuff and
he's been waiting for ages for being housed and it's been four years and my brother's still sleeping on the street.
I just can't put him in the house with me, with my child so,
bit heart wrenching and yeah.
It's just not fair.
When somebody says why don't you vote? It's very confronting
and you aren't wanting to say that really deeper thing which is
I don't think I can have any power to affect change.
I don't think that the people around me listen to me.
I don't feel connected here.
We find that it's pointless voting.
I mean, the government has done all these things for the Homeless Trust, the homeless people
We're not seeing anything and our services are now stretched to the lim.
It's not realistic.
So I think there are a number of reasons why Maori might choose not to vote.
One, for many indigenous peoples, they don't see themselves reflected in the kinds of colonial systems that we have.
Another reason is that actually a lot of times Maori rights and interests aren't protected by the political system that we have.
Kia ora.
The third reason is really around whether you can make a difference or not.
And again, research suggests that people who, particularly when they're younger
make some sort of political change then they're going to participate politically.
I think a lot of Maori young people, rangatahi, don't get those kinds of experiences.
My background is performing arts and sports.
I have five children and a lovely partner.
Very family orientated. We still practice our culture, tradition.
I've never been political or understand whatever goes on in the government.
Just recently when Jacinda came in, then I've sort of started engaging because
just recently, obviously, she's gonna give $24 million to our high school.
And big impact right there.
I mean, yeah I can't really say that I've been connected politically.
Cause I really haven't, it's just come recently.
So Pacific community engagement with voting in this country, I think
historically it's been non-responsive or there's been low engagement and
I think a lot of that has to do with, I guess historical mistrust.
For instance, let's use Samoa as an example.
You have a New Zealand system that stripped Samoans of their chiefly titles.
And then of course, in the late 70's, the dawn raids.
So all this imperialist kind of, colonialist activity
that worked negatively against Pacific people are still ingrained in the minds
and so when you have that kind of traumatic historical bad after-taste
you can imagine that there would be a sense of mistrust with our current government.
To get Pacific communities on board, what type of messaging are they portraying in terms of
are they really going to look after the collective?
Are they going to look after me and my family? Not me as an individual, but our families.
My sister ran for the Wainuiomata Committee Council
and then that's when I definitely voted.
Um but previous years, 20 odd years, not once.
My sister, she made me see a whole heap of information that
was important about voting.
Once she's in, then whatever our issues or things that we would like to see done
she can voice that for us.
It is important to engage in voting but I think the question, we need to flip it around.
Because we've had 125 years since women had the right to vote and we are still struggling to make voting relevant
and actually what we should be asking is:
Why is it so difficult for people to actually feel that they have a voice?
Because the moment people think, oh I can have a say
they will.
So when they see a politician that they're interested in,
an issue that they care about
they're given the resources and the opportunity and the support, people will vote.

How Hypnotic Influence Can Backfire: Don't Use "The Stick" - Duration: 4:56.
There are some trainers out there who purposefully choose someone to victimize and kick out just
so everyone else is basically shocked into never arguing or disagreeing with them.
I think that's an awful way of doing things, it's just terrible.
I think it's a sign of a weak trainer, someone who really doesn't have confidence in their
material.
There's no need for it.
There's no need to be disrespectful to people.
If they generally have no value in it and they're in the wrong place, great, just
go home.
That's fine.
If you can't have that attitude, again, you have no business on the stage; otherwise,
you become a bit of a dictator telling people what they should be rather than what they
can be.
It's much more powerful to inspire people than to twist their arms.
I'll give you a story to illustrate this, if I may.
Is that okay with you guys?
Many years ago we did an experiment.
We taught a miniature version of this, it was called Group Conversational Hypnosis,
how you use conversational hypnosis in groups.
As an illustration of frame control, this whole segment here, there's more to this,
of course, we actually looked around to the seminar industry and elected a guy who did
a lot of pitching, a lot of hardcore pitching about a lot of sales and all that sort of
stuff.
Very much sales oriented.
We invited him to come in to pitch to our group and this is the funny part.
I actually told the entire group, this guy is coming in, he's going to try and sell
you stuff and whether you buy it or not is up to you, it doesn't really matter to us.
What I want you to pay attention to, though, is his elaborate use of frame control throughout,
because that's what his whole presentation is made up of.
Go ahead and do that.
Of course he comes in and it was hysterical because he had a very dictatorial approach
to selling.
So he's really dictating like do this and so on, little bit of shame, little bit of
embarrassment thrown in, things that I don't necessarily recommend, which means I won't
be teaching it.
But it was useful for people to see it in action because it shows you different ways
of doing frames, because he was really quite blatant about it.
So long story short, about 150 people in the room, I think he signed up about 50 people
to his course, basically by shaming them into it, but here's the other thing.
Of those 50 or so people, 48 canceled within 24 hours, which kind of shows you the effectiveness.
The problem with using the stick to motivate is that when the stick is no longer present
the motivation goes, which is why I don't recommend it.
Of course the ethical part as well.
When you're using a stick to part someone with their money, that's called mugging.
Whether you're doing it emotionally or physically, you're still mugging someone.
In the U.K. there's actually a term for this.
You know those people who stand on the streets collecting money for charities and they're
trying to sign you up for your $10?
They're called chuggers, because it's basically a short-term for charity muggers.
They're using emotionally manipulative techniques to basically shame people into donating money.
Think about this, think about the bigger picture.
Does the charity get some cash?
Yes, it works.
However, are they actually serving the purpose?
When people are there just because they're shamed, is that going to inspire them to do
more, to build the thing up more to eradicate this problem from the earth and so on?
Not really.
Shame makes people, basically, want to hide from whatever the public eye is so they don't
have to feel that anymore and then go back to the way they were.
A much more powerful way is to inspire people to want that, which is really what we're
looking to do here.
Do you kind of get the idea?
So, once again, the idea with the heckler here, what I'm doing is offering him the
chance to leave, which is fine, but I have to be fine with it, otherwise I am showing,
basically, that I don't really believe in what I'm doing enough to be okay with it.
If you leave and I'm okay with it that's great.
It's your choice.
Everyone is going to go oh, let's just relax.
I'm not going to be pressured into anything.
Then if you make a choice it actually becomes your choice.
If you choose to support a charity it's because you think it's a good idea.
If you choose to attend a seminar, you'll get excited leading up towards it rather than
thinking damn it, I've just really wasted my money here and all the rest of them coming
back with a bad attitude and so on.
You see where I'm going with this?
We haven't left the first five to ten minutes of your training program yet, have we?
We're still in the first five or ten minutes, but there are a lot of important things.
You get the first five or ten minutes right, the rest becomes a breeze.
You mess those up and it's just playing dice.
Your numbers come up.
Your numbers don't come up.

Bullies, haters, toxic people: If you don't like where you are – move. You are not a tree - Duration: 4:19.
If you don't like where you are move, you are not a tree
That was one of my favorite quotes until I met this one person. Let's call her Anna
Hi, my name is Karolina. And this is I am not a tree a platform where we share our teachable expat moments without any sugarcoating
I have told you about Anna in the introduction to the series
She was the main reason why I felt the urge to discuss the topic of haters bullies and toxic people
When I showed you the five categories of people who will try to clip your wings
She was the narcissist now we might ask how is it possible that one person could destroy my perception of such a unique and beautiful
Quote that I also used to name the platform that I'm trying to create in here and I'm very glad that you asked
First of all, I love this quote so much mainly because it's so diverse. It can be read as a direct message
You don't have roots
You can change your location and migrate, but you can also read it in a different way, which is more suitable for my life
Right now I cannot move physically
But I can move on with my life
challenge myself change and grow even though I hate the place where I'm at and this is how the whole story started I am quite
Straightforward with the fact that I don't really like the city where I live now
I'm quite okay with it, but just six months ago if you would ask me
I hated every small bit about being in here and about the city itself in the meantime
I have changed the apartment and found friends and it had made a tremendous difference in the quality of my life in here
But I am still not a fan of being here and if I could I would gladly move to Barcelona or Berlin or Dublin Anna
Like a few other people before her did but not as spectacularly has decided to inform me that I'm absolutely outrageous
I'm a waste of time and space I'm weak ridiculous in her eyes and that if I don't like it, I can move somewhere else
O, really? thank you for your generous advice a**hole
See what Anna and people like her are not getting is how it feels to be geographically not at the place you want to be?
Judging people like me without even trying to find out why is it that you are where you are?
Is not only wrong and hurtful
But it's also absolutely
Mindless and it shows that you are a complete
Ignorant it gets even worse when those people are giving you advice or telling you how they were able to assimilate
When you're quite straightforward about the fact that you can't or even don't want to assimilate or get to know the culture
Sounds ignorant of me? maybe but I am allowed to make that decision
So here's the thing
I moved to France to this specific small town just for six months for the project and
I hated it in here after the first month and I would
happily
Left if it wasn't for my previous boss and for the fact that I promised to help her and I liked her so I didn't
Want to leave her just like that
More or less in the middle of that period I had met my partner fell in love and that's it me moving anywhere without him
Is absolutely not an option. He has a job in here
Therefore we are stuck in here and the details of that decision are nobody else's but mine and his business and yes
I know that no one is forcing me to stay here against my will but it is my will to stay with the person I
Love and he's here. And yes, I still feel entitled to bed grumpy
about the fact that I am here or the things I can't accept in French culture from time to time side not
Somehow when you're complaining about your hometown or your home country while you're there, you're simply being critical
But if you do the same in the country where you're a migrant
Everyone feels entitled to call you ungrateful and tell you to go back home. I find that quite hypocritical
The bottom line is that people might have different reasons in staying in the cities, which they don't really enjoy
It might be their family situation. It might be the job contract. It might be providing better future for their children
And they might still hate it
They might not enjoy the culture that they're in and they might not feel the urge to explore it
But as long as those people are not hurting anyone and they are polite to the locals
None of your business and keep your judgments to yourself. Anna.
No, tell me do you like the place where you currently live? If not, what is your biggest struggle?
And if you like your new home
can you imagine living in a place that you actually don't enjoy?

COURT DAY | DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE | JON SHEPPARD FITNESS - Duration: 6:07.
Hello YouTube and welcome to my channel Jon Sheppard fitness this is
obviously about my court day I'm now just outside court it is like 10:00 a.m.
and it's freezing cold so obviously I can't film it so I'll tell you what the
verdict when I come out
well as you can see I'm still here another simi freaking hold still
panics dog yes wait and see like about six or seven people go in out in out
and I was there before and oh well anyway I got a three year back but I can
take a course which will knock off eight months so that's not too bad so I'm
gonna be driving in a in about two and a half years time and I also can't Hey I
also got a a like course to go on which is fifteen weeks one week and it just
basically tells you about drinking and driving about how to avoid getting in
the car if you've been drinking sort of thing so that's not too bad and
I didn't get community service or unpaid work which is a bonus because one thing
I didn't really want to do and obviously I didn't go to prison which is the best
thing ever um I got fine but he was only like three
hundred and sixty pounds and that was just because of core cuffs because
obviously I've only got one job now and and I get so much money but obviously I
pay out so much money as well so in all fairness it's not a bad day obviously
I've lost my car I've just got the force I hate forces they're so slow they smell
they got weird people on there it's like the Jeremy Kyle Busch and I don't know
how I'm gonna cope going on 40 others after dodging taxes but in all fairness
it was okay so I'm now walking back to my house
a4 just tell the people actually bothered or interested to see what
happens this is also a good insight of what will happen if you drink and drive
you will lose your car well unless you put unless you keep it for there's so
many years you will lose your license and it all depends on how much you drink
and of course what you've done you could get community service you could go to
prison rehabilitation course you're gonna get fined so basically do not
drink and drive that's why I say to leave your car at home do not go out and
then think you can have one or two because when you have one or two in each
a three or four and then you want to drink
do not go out drinking or dying and then get your car the morning after thinking
it's okay you will be over the limit you if you get pulled over you will lose
your license because it will still be in the system always make sure you go if
you're gonna stop drive the date there you've got to drive the day after make
sure it's in the late afternoon because then it will be out your system then
you'll be safe drug depending our Lobster see how much you've drank the
night before people I'm still here to annoy all of you and show you fitness

say how how to put well how's it going how's the court Hey
I'm now gonna go and watch Liverpool pay PSG they need to win because if it don't

DON'T GIVE UP | God is With You - Inspirational & Motivational Video - Duration: 5:32.
The thing to try when all else fails is again
The person who really wants to do something
finds a way. The person who does not finds an excuse
The person who prevails is the person who refuses to give up
The person with the mental toughness is the person who will
triumph. The testing of your faith produces
Perseverance
The man who can get up one more time
Than the time he's knocked down is going to be the winner. Being knocked down is not a problem
But staying down is a problem
Get up because success begins by getting up one more time than you've been knocked down
The Bible declares in proverbs 24:16 listen to this
For though a righteous man falls
seven times
He rises again
For though a righteous man falls seven times
He rises again
Again
You are not a failure for falling down
You're a failure for staying down
You know, it's amazing how many people in the world have done
phenomenal things
After having failed numerous times in there life
And so failure doesn't have to be the end making mistakes doesn't have to be
the end. I think most people if they're going to be successful they have to press through some things
One of the things that we tend to do one of the lies that the enemy tells us is well
There's just no way
There's no way there's no way out
But we have to remember that there's always a way out
And those of us who are believers in Jesus Christ know that he said in John 14:6. I am the way
We may not know the way
And He may not be telling us the way
But he wants us to believe that he is the waymaker
God will make a way for you, but he does require you
To never give up
You may be tired today. You've been dealing with a challenge in your health
A relationship in your finances for years
You used to believe that you would overcome but now you're worn down you don't think it's ever going to happen
Let me encourage you what God promised
He's still going to bring to pass you may have given up but God has not given up
He has your healing, your breakthrough, your promotion, the right people. Now do your part get your passion back
Start taking hold of his strength
Don't allow that weariness in the enemy wouldn't be fighting you so hard unless he knew
You were close to your victory. He couldn't take you out
So he's trying to wear you out get you weary discouraged. Don't fall into that trap all through the day Lord
Thank you that you're renewing my strength. Thank you that I will soar like the eagles
Thank you that I am strong in the Lord. That battle may be taking a long time, but I believe right now
Strength is coming into you. Hope is coming into you God is filling you with fresh courage determination
Vision you will run and not be weary. You will walk and not faint
Don't give up on yourself. Because if you do then what you're saying is God is not big enough to change me
There's nobody
That is beyond change
God can change every single one of us. I don't want you to give up
I don't want you just to throw in the towel and quit if all you can do right now is just get out of that bed
and walk across the room
Do something
And if you'll do what you can do, God will do what you cannot do
The difference between
possibility and the impossible lies in your own personal persistence
Persistence is the path to victory for every champion
Run to win be a champion for Jesus Christ fight the good fight
Endure hardness as a soldier of Jesus Christ, press on in the heat of spiritual warfare
Press on in the darkest night of your sorrow
When you've lost the dearest on earth. Press on when all seems lost and hopeless
Press on when your dreams have been shattered and seem hopelessly outdated
Press on when your friends forsake you when your best friend walks out Jesus Christ your best friend walks in
Press on because the God of heaven will never leave you nor forsake you even to the ends of the earth
Press on, press on, press on, press on
Press on, press on, the victory is yours if you will not quit

Don't Suffer Alone - Hope For the Hurting - Duration: 4:36.
26 out of 100 people
Will suffer and receive a diagnosis of mental illness every single year and many of those are sincere
devoted
believers in the Lord Jesus Christ
but who are
flawed
No one thinks they'll ever get depressed
And until you've been depressed you think they're you know
Something's wrong with them
Let me tell you something's wrong with life and our bodies are
imperfect and you can face so many weights and have so much stuff coming against you that you are stressed so much and the
physiology and the chemistry of your brain shifts
Until you receive help
You're not going to come out of that. Matter of fact, you might take your own life
Jesus said in this world you will have problems
Tribulation whether you're good or bad, none of you are immune from the problems that we face but be of good cheer I have overcome
this world and if you trust me
I will lead you and expand you in living an overcoming life where no diagnosis defines you
But that you live in and above that diagnosis
Jesus came for broken hurting sick people. You know who we admire people who have it all together
Although no one does and we're forever surprised by the person who has the money
who has the position who has the fame and then the bottom drops out and they take their life or they wined up in a
treatment center or whatever else happens and
so Jesus when
People were criticizing him and saying why are you hanging around all these weird needy people?
He says in mark chapter 2 verse 17 on hearing this Jesus said to them
It's not the healthy who need a doctor
But the sick I've not come to call the righteous but sinners
I've come to call imperfect people who have the great revelation that they're in perfect and they need me
We realize this God healed in many ways in the Bible and
He still does today and as many if not more
You know one psychiatrist told me this last week
He said have you ever thought of this then if you had a hip that was out of whack and
Needed a hip replacement
You would live with that suffering unless Jesus happened to come and heal you
But today because of the things that God has given
People to think and do if you need a hip replacement you go get a hip replacement
He said could that be part of the greater things?
Did you know one of the big things that God expresses is healing that we often miss this because it's his desire to heal
Your body heals because you pray your body heals because you go to doctors, you know, I don't believe medication works I don't believe that
transplants work if God isn't the one giving the healing blessing there. I believe all healing comes from God
But here's the thing you have to understand the end he promises the means he uses he varies
So God may use his word people and prayer to heal don't try to figure it out on your own
God wants us to figure these things out together
So God came to give people hope and a reason to live and he wants to give you a reason to live
There's hope when you have suicidal thoughts or your friends or your family does
Suicidal feelings are usually temporary. They're not sinful suicidal feelings or thoughts
But the act is always permanent
It's preventable
You have been plagued with thoughts of
ending your life and all the arguments that come along with that and I'm here to tell you your life matters so much
There is hope and you can receive that hope today

Sadhguru - Don't be in a rush to live ! - Duration: 13:29.
Moderator (Abhijeet): Okay, Sadhguru ji, this is very common in my college and it is true
about me and also my friends.
So I am in love with a girl and...
Sadhguru: Ah (Laughter)!
Moderator (Abhijeet): And what happens is that I don't have the courage to talk to
her and this is like a self-doubt that I have.
I think that I don't deserve her.
So what to do on this regards (Laughter)?
Sadhguru: You are in love with a girl or you've fallen in love with a girl?
Moderator (Abhijeet): Actually I've fall in love (Laughter).
Sadhguru: Oh.
This happened, before he became a drunk, he was at the Shillong University (Laughter),
Shankaran Pillai (Laughter/Applause).
And he was doing his PhD.
So one day he went to his mentor professor and said, "Sir, I need your help on something
very important."
So the professor said, "Yes, that's why I am here, please tell me."
Then he named the college beauty and he said, "Sir, I am completely in love with her,
I need your help on this."
"What do you mean, you need my help?
I am not here to help you on those kind of matters, I am here for academic purposes."
He said, "No sir, I am really fifty percent successful.
You just need to help me with the other fifty percent (Laughter)."
He asked, "What is fifty percent success anyway?"
He said, "I am completely in love with her and she doesn't know (Laughter), the other
fifty percent you must help me (Laughs)."
So, just enjoy the love affair because (Laughter)… because now it's totally in your control.
If you also bring her into the picture, now she will take charge of it (Laughter/Applause).
And (Laughs), I am not saying you should not fall in love with somebody, but don't be
in a rush to live.
At this stage in your life, see how to build yourself up into a worthwhile life, then things
will come to you in a certain way.
If you rush into life too early, then the… ca… the… you know other aspects of growth
will get… it'll get stunted.
Because you got emotionally entangled, now you…
immediately the girl says, "I am going to come with you tomorrow morning."
Then immediately you have to find some job, you have not completed your engineering, you
will find one auto-rickshaw to drive (Laughter).
Arey, all these things will happen.
Love does all these things to you.
So just… you are having a great love affair, just enjoy it, don't tell her (Laughter/Applause).
Moderator (Ria): Sadhguru, I think he also kind of wanted to know about self-doubt that
he has, although the context was that, that he's primarily asking about self-doubt.
Sadhguru: See about… this is not self-doubt, the doubt is about her (Laughter).
How she will respond - that is the doubt.
Somewhere when it comes to yourself, the question of whether I am good enough for something,
not good… good enough for something - you should not worry about that.
You must just see every day how you can be a better human being than the way you are
right now.
And then the world, the way it responds, tells you whether you are good enough or not.
It's not for you to think whether…
See this is why there's an examination at the end of the year.
Why?
Because you may think you are a great engineer, but the examination results tell you poo (Laughter).
So this also is like that, you may think I am a hero but well the girl, she has her opinions
(Few laugh).
So instead of that, see how to make yourself better in how many ways, not just the way
you look.
Because your looks will be ignored after sometime.
You have to make yourself better.
How to make yourself better?
At least you are trying to make yourself into a good engineer, that's a good idea.
Another thing is well, just see…
Better means what?
What is it one thing that always draws people?
What is it that one thing that makes a person look wonderful is, it is not the shape of
your nose or the point of your chin or your hairstyle or something - a joyful face is
always a beautiful face, isn't it so (Applause)?
Your nose can be like this (Gestures), it doesn't matter.
Joyful face is always a beautiful face.
Do that one thing, maybe she will fall in love with you (Laughter).
Just…
Just rise and shine.
If you rise and shine, everybody will look in that direction, isn't it?
Learn to sing, hmm.
Sing a song (Laughter).
We can train you if you want (Laughter).
Just one song that may make her fall in love (Gestures) (Laughter/Applause).
Moderator (Ria): We should soon join the school of Isha for singing courses (Sadhguru laughs).
We feel parents today are becoming liberal with their children in many aspects, however
when it comes to inter-caste and inter-religion marriage, people are still orthodox, and we
draw… people draw a rigid line that children cannot cross.
Is it mainly because of the fear of society?
As the saying goes "सब से बड़ा रोग, क्या कहेंगा
लोग|"
So, as a youth what can we do to convince our parents and bring them out of this social
fear?
Sadhguru: See, the fear may not be about just what somebody says.
We must understand the caste system for what it is.
Well (Laughs), before I say that I want you to understand this, I never ever asked anybody
"what is your caste" because it doesn't even occur to me in my mind.
So, I am against inter-caste marriages because… somebody will take this one sentence and make
me into trouble, but I keep doing this always because it's by intent (Laughs).
I am against inter-caste marriages because first of all, why the hell do you identify
with a caste and then try to do inter, hmm (Applause/Cheers)?
If…
When I was young if I wanted to marry somebody, I won't even bother what the caste is, I
never asked.
Actually this happened to me, my wife I never asked what's her caste?
I just came home one day and told my father "I am marrying this girl."
He asked "Who is she?"
I said her name.
I only knew her pet name, I didn't know her full name (Laughter), because that's
what I called her.
Then he asked "Who is her father?"
I said "I don't know."
He said "What?
You don't know the father's name, you'll marry her?"
I said "I wish to marry only the girl (Applause), I don't wish to marry her father, nor his
property, nor his khandan or anything.
I'm just marrying the girl."
"So, what caste are they?"
I said "I don't know."
"What?
You don't know their caste?"
I said "I don't know.
Because except what people have told me even I don't feel my caste anywhere, I have un-casted
myself completely, I am not cast in anything.
So, I didn't check her caste either."
Then somebody came, you know, once this happens in the family all the uncles and aunts and
others, you know, they are all warriors (Laughter), they all get into the act.
They came and said "We don't even drink water in their house, their caste is like
that!"
I said "Did they invite you (Laughter/Applause/Cheers)?
They have not invited you to come home.
Only after they invite you whether you want to drink coffee or (Laughs) whatever, we'll
see.
Right now, they have not invited you, nor am I planning to take you to their house,
nor am I planning to go to their house.
I am just marrying the girl."
They couldn't believe it.
I said…
"Why…
How…
How can we do this?
Our families can't sit together, their caste!"
I said "I never said you…
I'm inviting you to my wedding either."
So, I just declared to my wife.
I said "You are my wife, that's it."
She said "This is all?
No witness, no… no arrangement, no gran… garland?"
I said "See, no bloody witness can ever hold me to anything.
When I say something, that's it.
I will not go back on it!
I said I'm married to you, this is it!"
So, I just came and announced to everybody "I'm married."
They said "When, where, how (Laughter)?"
"That's not your business, this is my wife.
And that's it!"
So I am saying, first of all why do you caste yourself and then why you inter-caste yourself?
Not necessary.
But there is a social situation that is in this country, why this caste system stuck
on like this is, this was the only means of transmitting skills.
Suppose your father is the goldsmith, now he will marry you only to a goldsmith… another
goldsmith.
Because right from your childhood, you have helped the goldsmith, carrying this and that,
you know how to handle it.
Suppose he puts you…
suddenly marries you to a blacksmith, you will feel lost in that house.
And you know nothing about it.
Because knowledge was transmitted only through the family tree.
Today, we don't know what his father is, but now he has become an engineer.
We don't know what your parents are, now you are becoming a bio thing because we have
institutions which transmit knowledge.
When there were no such institutions, family was the only institution transmitting knowledge,
so we didn't want to corrupt that.
So we maintained that.
Now that is irrelevant.
One part of the caste system has become irrelevant.
Another reason why people are ticking… sticking to the caste is, because there is no social
security in the country.
If tomorrow something goes wrong with your life… okay, you married some strange boy
and if something went wrong with your life, you fell ill or he fell ill, or accident happened,
something happened.
Now the only people you can fall upon, is your clan.
You go and knock on somebody else's door, they won't open their door.
You have to go to your caste.
If you say "I belong to this caste" they will say "come, we will do something for
you."
So, this is the social security you still have.
So, in the… in urban areas it may not matter because you have insurance, and this and that.
But in rural areas if you just break away from your caste completely, you are completely
on your own.
If something goes wrong, there is nobody going to stand up for you.
So, this is the social security system.
Don't try to worry about this destroying caste system by inter-ma… inter-caste, all
this.
If you create a proper universal social security system, caste will die a natural death.
Nobody has to kill it, it will just go (Applause).

Putin Jokes On U.S. Policy: We Don't Move Away From The Dollar, The Dollar Is Moving Away From Us! - Duration: 4:40.
Our goal is not moving away from the dollar – the dollar is moving away from us,
and those who take measures (sanctions) are shooting themselves not just in the foot, but slightly higher,
because such instability in calculations in dollars creates a desire of many global economies to find alternative reserve currencies
and create settlement systems independent of the dollar,
It's not only us, trust me.
We can see what's happening in the world.
Look at how the gold and foreign-exchange reserves of the USA's closest allies and other countries are shrinking.
Dollar assets are shrinking.
Have a look at reports of the biggest holders of dollar assets.
This is the result of the policy of imposing sanctions in relation with using dollars.
I think that sooner or later, awareness about this will come, but nowadays the world is faced with certain economic situation
there will be a search for alternative ways of calculations and reserve savings.
We are also doing it like many other countries.
The market is more complicated for certain products, homogenous products, like oil, for example.
But, anyway, when people think about certain problems they will find a solution to them.
For example, in our trade with Eurasian Economic Union countries, 70% of our export is in rubles, and 30% of import.
Russia is working with key trade partners on setting up payment systems independent from the SWIFT network.
We are working on ensuring the exchange of goods.
I just had a talk with the president of Turkey, with your statesman, half an hour ago.
We discussed some concrete issues but I will mention our deal in the field of Turkey purchasing S-400.
We understand that if we do a transaction in dollars, it will not go through.
We worked an alternative solution and the deal is done anyway.
And this will be the way forward for all products.
I found the example that everyone is talking about but it will be the same for other products.
Therefore, we don't have a goal of abandoning the dollar, we are forced to do it.
And I assure you we will do this. However, this is not because our government wants to do it.
We just don't want to take sudden moves that will harm us.
In order to make the global economy more sustainable and predictable, and to make settlements more efficient and reliable,
we will, of course, have to find alternative paths.
