-
Namaskar.
-
Today I would like
to talk about the
-
positive use of
Artificial Intelligence.
-
Many people are wondering
-
as more and more
intelligent machines
-
are replacing humans...
-
How their work
will be guaranteed?
-
What type of jobs will
be available for them
-
in the coming years?
-
Actually, you know
in the last 100 years,
-
human evolution has
accelerated greatly.
-
And in fact in the
last 20 years,
-
the evolution of
technology and sciences
-
has gone accelerated,
acceleration.
-
I remember my first
hand phone in 2003 -
-
it was a big Ericson,
it didn't even fit
-
into my pocket back then.
-
And nowadays,
-
if we're away
from our cell-phone
-
for more than 1 hour,
-
we feel somehow... or
during our working hours
-
we feel very insecure
and disoriented.
-
So, there is a reason
for concern
-
for the use of artificial
intelligence.
-
In a socioeconomic
order like today
-
there is a lot
of imbalance.
-
So, that’s my there is
so much of a search
-
for a new
socioeconomic system.
-
That would provide
employment for all,
-
enhance opportunity to buy,
to have whatever we need
-
in terms of food, drinking
water, clothing, shelter,
-
education and
medical care.
-
So, under such a system
where these things are...
-
a system where production
is for consumption,
-
not for profit.
-
Then we wouldn’t have
to worry about our jobs.
-
as it would be
guaranteed.
-
And rather that
extra time
-
that artificial intelligence
would give us,
-
we can use it
for a meditation
-
and developing
our higher nature.
-
So,...
-
the advancement fo science
doesn't have to be at all
-
an impediment, rather
it can be a great aid.
-
You know, I think,
in the coming years,
-
we've already
seen the trend,
-
meditation will become
a very common practice.
-
Something, like
what we do
-
after going to the toilet,
wash our hands,
-
when we wake up in the
morning we brush our teeth.
-
So, meditation will
become like that.
-
We just to connect
to our higher purpose
-
every day through
the daily practice.
-
And that’s why here in
Meditation Steps channel
-
We are teaching our
scientific methodology
-
of meditation,
intuitional practice
-
to develop our
higher conciseness.
-
So, you know,
as human beings
-
we are the most evolved
organisms on this planet.
-
We’ve been here since
the first living organisms,
-
4.5 billion years we have
evolved, and evolved,
-
and so we are
the most complex
-
organisms on this planet.
-
So, as science
continues to develop,
-
unlocking the mysteries
of our bodies and minds,
-
or also giving a chance
through meditation
-
to unlock the mysteries
of our mind.
-
You know, scientists say
-
we use maybe 5% of our
mental potentialities.
-
So, this is a new
and the latest frontier,
-
that is opened to us
as we explore
-
the higher realms
of our own being.
-
You know, human
beings should be,
-
not necessarily doing.
-
Sometimes our "doings"
-
are not very helpful for
our planet, for our species
-
and for, you know...
-
for the other fellow-humans
with which we live.
-
So, we should learn to be,
-
and that is
what is meditation.
-
Its essence is to be,
to experience
-
beingness or awareness
in its universal aspect.
-
So, you know... the
-
if we look forward into
the future, more and more
-
science will advance and
technology will advance.
-
It should be used
for the common good.
-
Not necessarily as
something which
-
somebody can
make a profit from,
-
but it is used
for the common good.
-
But of course we have
to provide incentives
-
for those genious who can
create these great things,
-
these inventors, we call
them in Sanskrit "Rishis",
-
or great sages.
-
And we're benefiting from
those inventions today,
-
and we will continue.
-
But when civilization
lags behind
-
the development
of science,
-
that signals a very risky
time for that civilisation.
-
Example is the Roman
civilisation - it declined.
-
One of the reasons of
its decline was the lack of
-
parallelism between
the development of science -
-
it had provided
so much comforts
-
and material pleasures,
-
that people lost their
moral and spiritual values,
-
and that lead...
especially its leaders,
-
that lead to the decline
of the Roman civilisation.
-
So, they have to
go hand in hand -
-
the development
of civilization
-
and the development
of our culture,
-
civilization of our mind.
-
And that's
where meditation
-
plays a very
important role.
-
You know, going forward,
-
my Master has written,
way back 60 years ago,
-
that, you know,
"One tablet will suffice
-
for all the nutritional
needs every day."
-
And instead of
communicating
-
by cell phone or
by chat messages,
-
we will be communicating
telepathically.
-
And instead of moving
with a car or rocket
-
from country to country
or from planet to planet,
-
we will be moving with
our subtle bodies,
-
and already we're
seeing test tube babies.
-
The more we develop
this science
-
of reproduction
in test tubes,
-
then the human capacity,
-
that physical
creative capacity
-
will transform into
mental creativity -
-
to art, to music, and
subtle esthetic pursuits,
-
and finally the
spiritual creativity.
-
That realm where we know
the secrets of creation.
-
So, I would like
to encourage you
-
to continue your
meditation.
-
It’s hard.
-
It’s not an easy practice.
-
When we are developing
that intuition level of mind,
-
and we are unlocking
-
the mysteries of our
higher conciseness,
-
but rest assured
this is the first,
-
we are the first of
a new generation
-
of humans that
will populate
-
everywhere on this
tiny planet Earth.
-
as it moves towards its
next evolutionary leap.
-
So, please,
continue and join,
-
and increase
this movement
-
towards greater and
greater consciousness.
-
Thank you.
Namaskar.
