00:00It's not really human beings that are bombing each other.
00:04It's the process of humanization gone wrong.
00:08When nations bomb each other in the name of religion, revenge or self-defense,
00:14as in the case of Iran and Israel,
00:17religion is the process of humanization of the animal,
00:21sublimation of the beast that is born from the womb,
00:24a wound called Israel, that's how the Arabs took it.
00:27You know, these two countries were actually some kind of friends till 1979.
00:32Iran was one of the very few allies that Israel had.
00:37Had both these countries been Muslim, would there be a strife?
00:41Had both these countries been Jewish, again would there be a strife?
00:45But we want to close our eyes to the bare fact
00:48that religion gone wrong is the worst thing possible to human beings.
00:53Sooner than later, Iran will have a nuclear weapon.
00:55And Israel already has 80 to 90 nuclear weapons.
00:58You know what's coming.
00:59Similarly, the India-Pakistan conflict.
01:01You really think it's about Kashmir or any other issue?
01:04No.
01:05My argument is better than your argument.
01:07And my God is better than your God.
01:12Achara Ji,
01:13when nations bomb each other in the name of religion, revenge or self-defense,
01:20as in the case of Iran and Israel.
01:25So,
01:25what does it reveal about our so-called civilizational process or human evolution?
01:35religion exists to civilize the animal.
01:47But the animal can turn religion into its own thing.
02:04It's not really human beings that are bombing each other.
02:14It's the process of humanization gone wrong.
02:21Religion is the process of humanization of the animal.
02:27Sublimation of the beast that is born from the womb.
02:34Religion exists to elevate that beast into a being, a human being.
02:46But,
02:47that beast is very mischievous.
02:53It can turn religion into something of its own.
02:57So,
02:59that's what is happening
03:00in the Israel-Iran case also.
03:06You can,
03:06you can
03:09say it's a geopolitical thing.
03:14You can say it's to do with oil or regional influence.
03:19Huh?
03:20You can say it's a thing
03:22about a contested history.
03:25But the
03:29bleak reality is that
03:32it's mostly
03:34about religion.
03:37It's a,
03:37it's a religious struggle.
03:42You know,
03:43these two countries were actually some kind of friends till 1979.
03:47In fact,
03:50in that entire region,
03:51Iran was one of the very few allies that Israel had.
04:01Very few allies.
04:05There was Iran,
04:06there was,
04:07uh,
04:10Turkey,
04:11not Turkey,
04:12India,
04:13and,
04:14uh,
04:16Ethiopia.
04:19Israel
04:21took birth in 1948.
04:24And immediately, there was war against the Arabs.
04:27Hmm?
04:30And,
04:31they all
04:34took Israel as a,
04:36as a stab,
04:38right in their heart.
04:40In the middle
04:42of their region,
04:44in the middle of Middle East.
04:46Hmm?
04:47A wound called Israel.
04:48That's how the Arabs took it.
04:51There immediately was war.
04:53Then Iran was one of the first regional countries to recognize Israel.
04:58Israel.
05:01Though the recognition was not overt,
05:05but it was covert and proxy recognition.
05:12Because,
05:15Iran is not one of the Arab countries.
05:18Iran comes from
05:21a Persian lineage,
05:23and its history predates that of Islam.
05:26Islam.
05:28So,
05:29Iran too has had,
05:34great differences with the Arabs.
05:38And Iran is Shia.
05:40Whereas,
05:41most of the Arab countries,
05:44excluding Iraq,
05:45are Sunni.
05:49So, even that is a
05:51religious thing.
05:53The Shia-Sunni thing.
05:56So,
05:57till 1979,
05:59Iran was a
06:00monarchy.
06:03And the monarch
06:06was pro-West.
06:10And Iran was a more westernized place
06:15than Darab world.
06:19And Israel had decent
06:22relations with Iran.
06:23Iran.
06:24In fact,
06:25when there was the six-day war,
06:28then it was Iran that provided
06:32fuel, oil, to Israel.
06:35And Israel's Mossad was collaborating closely
06:39with Iran's own secret services.
06:44That was the level of cooperation between these two countries.
06:49not that they were best friends.
06:52But compared to Israel-Arab relations,
06:56Israel-Iran relations were far more cordial.
06:59And then came 1979.
07:05And there was the Islamic revolution.
07:07See, it's religion all over.
07:10Don't say it's human beings fighting.
07:12And then came 1979.
07:18And the monarch was thrown over.
07:22He ran away.
07:23He said he is proceeding on a vacation.
07:25So he ran away.
07:31And then Ayatollah Khomani,
07:34he had been out of Iran for a long while,
07:41almost 15 years.
07:44He was in France or some European country.
07:47He returned from there and it took over the reins.
07:54And Iran got a new Islamic constitution
07:59where the head of the religious board
08:03would also be the head of the government.
08:08So the Ayatollah remains the head of Iran.
08:15And that continues to this day.
08:18And it is in 1979, with the Islamic revolution,
08:23that Israel-Iran relations go topsy-turvy.
08:31Suddenly, Iran declares Israel as the little satin.
08:37Who is the big satin?
08:39US.
08:41The US embassy that was besieged
08:46for around 14-15 months.
08:53And their staff, around 50 people,
08:54were kept hostage.
08:56Such a long siege.
09:00And there was a total deterioration in relations
09:04because of the so-called Islamic revolution.
09:06And why did Israel have to be attacked?
09:16It is such a small country, you see.
09:17Half the size of Kerala.
09:21Half the size of Kerala.
09:22That's how small Israel is in area.
09:24And in population, it's even smaller.
09:26Why did Iran have to be so hostile to Israel
09:32when they were friends till just yesterday?
09:36Because Israel is a Jewish country.
09:41Israel is a Jewish country.
09:45So, Israel had to be attacked.
09:48Attacked to the extent that it had to be said that
09:51Israel is a cancerous tumour in the Arab region.
09:55And it has to be surgically totally removed.
09:58It has to be totally removed.
10:06Goodness.
10:07Look at the extent of hostility.
10:11Why this hostility?
10:13Because your entire nation
10:15is now founded on religion.
10:20So, you must oppose the other religion.
10:23And also because within Islam, there are Shia-Sunni differences.
10:27And Arabs are mostly Sunnis.
10:32And if Iran has to assert itself,
10:36then it has to present itself as more radical than the Sunnis.
10:44You're getting it?
10:45If Iran wants to be the regional leader,
10:47then it has to show itself
10:49as ahead of the Arab countries
10:53in terms of its jingoism,
10:56in terms of its radical approach to Islam.
11:03So, then Iran would fund and weaponize Hezbollah
11:08and Hamas.
11:10Irony is the
11:12Hamas is a Sunni organization.
11:19Hezbollah.
11:21Hezbollah.
11:21Are you getting it?
11:22Because all of you are Sunnis,
11:24so you are anyway not listening to me.
11:27How do I present myself
11:29as a worthy leader of the entire Muslim world?
11:33By finding out an enemy
11:35and attacking it more rapidly than any of the other countries do.
11:41You all are Arab countries, right?
11:44And here is Israel.
11:45You are not attacking Israel in the same way as I do.
11:49And because I oppose and attack Israel in the fiercest way possible,
11:57therefore I qualify to be the leader.
12:04Are you getting it?
12:07Had both these countries
12:09been Muslim, would there be a strife?
12:12Had both these countries been Jewish,
12:15again would there be a strife?
12:18But we want to close our eyes to the bare fact
12:23that religion gone wrong is the worst thing possible to human beings.
12:29Religion can be the most uplifting of forces
12:32and equally the most downgrading of forces.
12:36depends on whether religion
12:39is understood in its pure spirit
12:43or in its distorted externalities.
12:49Israel is constantly bombing Iran.
12:59In the fear that if Iran manages to have a nuclear weapon,
13:05then Israel would be obliterated out of existence.
13:09It's a small country.
13:11Two or three nuclear bombs and the entire country is gone.
13:18So, their doctrine is
13:20no Arab country would ever be allowed to have a nuclear bomb.
13:24They've had the holocaust already.
13:29They don't want another one.
13:38There are barely like what?
13:411.5 million Jews in the world and half of them live in Israel.
13:48It's a very small number, you know, 1.5 million.
13:50They are saying we are all concentrated here.
13:55It's a small number.
13:57And if you bomb this concentration, then everybody is gone.
14:10And they are saying we will bomb it because it's our religious duty.
14:16The Zionist regime must perish.
14:21The little Satan must disappear.
14:32And Israel, in its turn,
14:38approaches Muslims
14:42with the kind of hardness that is rarely seen in history.
14:46You know the human tragedy that Gaza has now become.
14:58You know of the devastation,
15:02the shortages, even the starvation.
15:05You know how even the relief supplies are being blocked by the Israelis.
15:09And you know how they have been condemned by the entire world,
15:13including Europe.
15:17Not just condemned.
15:18They are actually being sanctioned now.
15:21Still, there is a great hardening of Israeli attitude that remains towards the Muslim world.
15:29And that is when both the countries come from the common pedigree of Abraham.
15:48First come the Jews, then the Christians, and then the Muslims.
15:57And they have common prophets as well.
16:00And still look at the fighting.
16:08Even within Islam, look at how the Shias and Sunnis fight.
16:11Are you getting this?
16:20Religion can be the most violent and debasing force.
16:24And we are not talking only of Judaism or Islam here.
16:29We are talking of all religions across the world.
16:36When distorted, they are the worst thing that can happen to mankind.
16:41And then, sane people find it better to drop religion altogether.
16:46They say we have nothing to do with religion.
16:49We are irreligious or atheists or agnostics.
16:55We have nothing to do with this primitive historical thing called religion.
16:59They say religion is a thing of the past.
17:04Religion is a medieval phenomena.
17:08And modernity should have nothing to do with religion.
17:10And one can understand where they are coming from.
17:13They have seen the most rotten aspects of religion.
17:18Therefore, it is understandable that they want to keep their hands off it.
17:23Are you getting it?
17:34Now, Israel is saying, unless the Iranian religious leader, Khamenei, agrees to a total abortion of the
17:47nuclear program, he will be physically removed.
17:54You understand what that means?
17:58We will kill the president himself.
18:02As if that can halt an entire nation.
18:06And nuclear technology and fissile materials are relatively very easily available today.
18:20And there are just too many players willing to sell nuclear secrets and material for a price.
18:29You have Pakistan, you have North Korea, you even have China.
18:35All these are people who can aid Iran's nuclearization.
18:43Sooner than later, Iran will have a nuclear weapon.
18:47And Israel already has 80 to 90 nuclear weapons.
18:53And these two countries are not far from each other.
18:59So, you know what's coming.
19:04Thank you so much religion.
19:11Similarly, India-Pakistan conflict.
19:13You really think, you really think it's about, it's about, it's about Kashmir or any other issue?
19:20No.
19:24Let's face the fact, it's a Hindu-Muslim thing.
19:28Pakistan sees itself as the inheritor of the subcontinent's Muslim legacy.
19:38And the unfinished Muslim agenda.
19:44Now, one can contest whether there was anything called a Muslim agenda at all.
19:49But at least the Pakistani generals think that there was one.
19:53And they say, we exist to take care of the unfinished agenda.
20:05You look at their weapons.
20:07They are all named after invaders.
20:09The inner environment they are operating in.
20:26Somebody asked them, why have you named your missile as Gori?
20:31They said, because India named its missile as Prathvi.
20:35They thought Prathvi means Prathvi Raj Chauhan.
20:41So, if you can call it Prathvi, we'll call it Gori.
20:43That kind of tunnel vision.
20:48Don't understand that Prathvi is not necessarily Prathvi Raj Chauhan.
21:00Again, a religious thing.
21:01I'm not saying all conflicts are religious.
21:03But religion is a major reason whenever there is a conflict.
21:09Be it riots within a country or be it wars between countries.
21:15It's a major thing.
21:18My religion.
21:21The second world war was so much about race.
21:24My race is superior to yours.
21:26Which is again a thing that's allied with religion.
21:35Race.
21:42You're getting it.
21:45Religion dropped is better than religion left unpurified.
21:49But religion dropped would also mean a great elevating force dropped.
22:02A great possibility, a great potential that could have assisted the human being
22:08that has been forsaken.
22:10That's the problem with dropping religion.
22:12That's the reason why your Gita mission is so important.
22:22Because if religion is not purified, it would either be further contaminated,
22:29or it would be dropped.
22:30And both these things are happening.
22:32People are either dropping religion totally,
22:35or they are getting in the thralls of, in the captivity of totally contaminated religion.
22:46Don't you see that happening in India?
22:52Those who are gullible, they are taken in by contaminated religion.
23:00And those who have some sense, they say we have nothing to do with religion.
23:04Keep it aside.
23:05Now both these are imperfect options.
23:10The first one is an outright abominable option.
23:17And the second one too is sub-optimal.
23:22The best option always is to have religion in its pure spirit.
23:28Religion in its pure spirit is a beautiful thing.
23:30It does not engender wars.
23:39Are you getting it?
23:45One is a beast.
23:48One has nothing better in life than to cut open the other's throat.
23:53But one is some kind of a rational beast.
24:01So one seeks to justify cutting open others' throats.
24:06One says, you know, this is to defend my religion.
24:11The thing is, you are misusing religion in the worst possible way.
24:23You are misusing religion to justify.
24:26You are very...
24:36My car is better than your car.
24:40My argument is better than your argument.
24:42And my god is better than your god.
24:44My god is better because he is my god.
24:54And I will spit on your god because he is your god.
24:58My god is is better than your god.
25:01That's right.
25:02I'm not a kid.
25:04I'm a father.
25:04I'm nationale king, let's be a god.
25:09I'm amanalea king.
25:10He may be a woman who is my god.
25:14ured by thellsmanment.
25:15I will be a guru at aion.
25:17He may be a two-player from your bastion.
25:19While she is a39 and a vampire.
25:22Nay forcément the dragon is on a wing.
25:24Therefore the king will be a head.
25:26ears, see why.
