Are you happy with how this whole progress has come in terms of you being able to spread happiness around the world, the meditation?

Yes and no.

See, for 45 years we have been doing this and, uh, and it has, uh, reached millions, almost a billion people around the world.

No, in the sense still there are seven billion people more out there who would need meditation.

We have to reach out to them, too.

So, uh, yes, it has impacted people's life.

I'm happy about that, but there are so many more wars, so many more unhappiness.

That's U-P-W-O-R-K.com, upwork.com

So we're walking around sometimes with hurt that's maybe something we shouldn't have seen, but at least now we are aware, so it's kind of-

That, that shows, you know, the rage in s- in the minds and hearts of people, the rage.

See, neither at home nor at school, no one teaches you how to get rid of your negative, uh, feelings.

You get into rage.

Nobody tells you how to calm you down, how to take care of this stuff here.

That's where it's very, very, uh, pertinent now today to teach children how to manage their moods.

You know, our young people are swinging on one side from depression and suicidal tendencies and the other side, uh, rage and violence.

Buddha was teaching meditation.

There were 10,000 people in his congregation.

And then one elderly man came and he was so angry because his sons, instead of helping him in the business, they came, they were trying to do meditation there.

Yeah.

So he came and he was so upset and he stood in front of Buddha and got angry and you have spoiled my son's life and my life and he spat on Buddha's face.

Buddha didn't react.

Because they have everything.

Yeah, you have.

[laughs] We have been doing with the veterans, war veterans, 27 veterans are taking their life here in this country.

That's so sad.

We have already taught about 8,000 veterans, and their lives are totally changed, 180 degrees change in their life.

And similarly, the students in college campus, we do the SKY campus in colleges, universities.

That has made a difference.

But still, I find what we are doing is just drop in the ocean.

And that's why you stay in the joyful state.

No.

You know, when, when I went to school and college, we never heard about bipolar or schizophrenia.

Today, people take pride in taking the antidepressant.

That is so surprising.

People think, oh, say, "I'm taking Prozac." Um, I mean, that shows the m- mental health issue is a very big issue in the world.

Now, these practices will help you to get out of those mental health challenges, and you don't need to take these medications.

Even to sleep well, you need today...

How does it come to be? And is there a resistance initially to doing it?

Thank you for that.

Very good.

Very good.

Because you said that how many good after that [echoing]

I think we could say Manjari is a good...

That would be a nice-
