Waching daily Sep 9 2018

'There are four facts.'

'One, it's indestructible.'

'What or who is indestructible...

...is something you won't understand.'

'That is because you need to experience indestructibility.'

'Two, you are there.'

'You are alive.'

'You are breathing in and out.'

'The third thing is knowledge.'

'The fourth is the one who provides this knowledge.'

'I will discuss about these four things.'

You go to an astrologer...

...to find about your future...

...and what lies for you in future.

I'll tell you what lies in your future.

Some people in this world...

...worships God...

...go to temples. I was thinking last night...

...do you know...

...all thanks to God, how many holy places have I visited?

Because of His blessings...

...when I acquired the knowledge...

...then wherever I went was a holy place for me.

You don't even have so many days left.

If I tell you the place where...

...you're sitting is a holy place.

Not this place.

Wherever you go is holy and people go...

...to place where God had arrived. Had!

God had rested here.

While there...

...in all these temples...

...God, Himself is sitting.

He's resting.

This is the temple.

This is the temple.

He resides in here.

And the only difference is even if you understand or not...

...He still resides within you.

'The fact of the matter is that there's a hole in your pocket.'

'Everything is falling out because of the hole in the pocket.'

'And the God is a tailor.'

'He has a knowledgeable thread and needle.'

A true saint possess...

...the knowledgeable thread and needle.

He says, come here.

Give me your pocket.

A person is like, what is this?

And he uses the needle and thread to stitch his pocket.

And once it's stitched...

...what happened? The things that were falling out...

...will not fall anymore.

Whatever you put, stays there. It doesn't fall out.

Everyone is busy looking for Him in temples or holy shrines.

Or they follow saints.

When God lives within yourself...

...you look for Him all around.

He's sitting there.

There's a hole in your pocket...

...while He's giving you the gift of breathing.

What will you tell him?

What can you say? After all, it's a gift. So it's free.

He's giving it for free so you don't need to do anything.

Hey!

If you've been poverty stricken your entire life...

...you never had any money.

And if you walk and find...

...a pot of gold...

...which is filled with diamonds and jewels...

...the pot is made of gold...

...then will you leave it there?

Will you tell yourself, you want to live in poverty all your life?

The priest said the same thing.

The priest said that my horoscope says...

...that my entire life...

If you buy a lottery ticket...

...and if you see in the paper that you have won.

And only you have won, you don't need to share it with anyone.

You are the only winner.

And the ticket is with you.

But the priest said...

...that you will be poverty stricken your entire life...

...which is why I will...

...tear this ticket.

Lottery tickets are sold near...

...betel leaf vendors.

So, no rich person comes there to buy a lottery ticket.

Only the poor people go to...

...buy lottery tickets.

Why do they go? Why do they buy it?

They hope that if they win...

...their luck will shine on them.

But you're already lucky since the day...

...you took your first breath.

Your luck was changed that very day.

And nobody told you that luck shone on you.

People told you...

...to keep on trying your luck.

Like a cow that plough the field.

Like that cow, you just keep rotating. Keep trying.

Keep doing the same thing.

You thought...

...we're cows. Let's continue.

The son will do as his father did.

When his son becomes a father, his son will do the same.

His son will do the same.

His father also did the same.

But forefathers did it...

...and their father did that.

He'll do the same too. But what will he do?

If you do something...

...that makes one proud, then it is different.

But what will he do? He'll become a cow.

His father struggled all his life.

So is he.

You take that to be your destiny.

That's the whole point, I am here to talk about your good.

Because you will not get this human body time and again.

You are alive now.

When a husband dies, the wife says...

...that she will meet him in heaven when she dies.

How are you so sure?

Will you meet?

I was saying it in a spiritual preaching...

...that when you get married you want to be together for 7 lives.

You cannot deal with each other for even 2 months.

You cannot handle 2 months and you talk about 7 lives.

Right? Seven lives!

If people start living for 100 years.

...then will you spend 700 years with that same person?

When someone is in prison...

...and does something wrong...

...then they are put in a place where they're isolated.

It is called solitary confinement.

A person cannot spend two days with himself.

How will he spend 700 years with someone else?

No.

The swan that is within you...

...try to bond with it.

Learn to live with it.

Befriend it.

You want friends.

But be friends with it.

The day you become friends with it...

...then you have nothing to worry.

No matter what...

...happens in your life.

No matter how worse things get...

...it will be there to help you.

That is its compassion.

This is the blessing.

No matter what you are going though...

...your friends, relatives...

...will be there when time is going good.

If you have money...

...then they are with you.

And the day you are left with no money...

...they go...

...their way.

This is what happens.

When you have money...

...everyone is with you.

They will always be...

...around you. The day you are left with nothing...

...they don't have time.

That is when the reality strikes.

Then he starts looking...

...for who his real friend is.

Your true friend is in you.

They are always in you.

That is special about you.

You are lucky.

You hit a jackpot.

You are fortunate.

The indestructible, inevitable God resides within you.

It is not something ordinary.

It is a big deal.

Let's talk about indestructible.

What is that?

It means...

...God cannot be described just by what you have heard.

Those who know say it not...

...and those who say know it not.

The one who knows nothing about it is ready to talk about it.

They have a lot to say.

And the one who knows for real...

...what to say?

God is undefinable.

It cannot be defined or described in words.

There is no definition to it.

It is not in the books, or temples.

He resides in everyone.

He cannot be found on a mountain or on earth...

...in sea, but will be found deep within yourself.

That is indestructible.

You are alive because of His mercy.

This is mercy and compassion.

You are living because of this.

There are billions of names.

None of those can liberate your soul.

One name!

Just one name.

Chant that one name and you shall be liberated.

What name is it?

Should I tell you?

People must be wondering...

...that it must be a big time name. This is what people say.

This is only for the wealthy.

If I tell you that without...

...by hearting this name, it is going on within you.

With you doing...

...or learning...

...it is in you.

You cannot pronounce it.

But it is on with every breath you take.

It's working without any effort.

But if you don't know about this...

...it means you don't focus on this.

If you don't focus on this...

...like, when your pocket gets torn whatever you put in it...

...will keep falling down.

Where will you spend the money?

If you spend it for yourself.

If you spend it to know about yourself...

...it means you are having that money in your pocket.

And if you spend the money just like that...

...then you are in a huge trouble.

A huge trouble.

You are alive with the blessings of the indestructible.

You need to know about that indestructible.

What is this?

Human body has something called as hormones.

And it gives the enthusiasm.

And out of that enthusiasm...

I saw it when I was returning from the airport.

A young guy was driving a...

...car so recklessly.

I laughed watching that.

Because, even I used to drive like that in my days.

I started driving a car when...

...my legs didn't even used to reach the paddle.

I was a kid then.

I used to sit on the seat.

I used to steer and my driver used to handle...

...the accelerator, brake and clutch.

We used to divide our work.

One fine day I went to the park.

And I learnt to drive when...

...legs started reaching the paddle.

What I mean to say is...

...all these is the enthusiasm of youth.

What's the ocean of the worldly existence?

When you experience it, you'll know about it.

About the ocean of the worldly existence.

What?

When...

...you go up and down in the waves.

In your nose and mouth...

...when the salty water will enter...

...you will then cry for help.

Then you'll only have one word in your mind. Save me.

Save me. Now it's just the enthusiasm of youth.

Even this gets expired.

Even this gets expired.

Just observe any old person.

The one who's not able to walk properly. Wearing big glasses.

Having Grey hair. Displaced teeth.

Don't laugh.

Don't laugh.

Don't laugh.

Even he was young once upon a time.

This has to happen with everyone.

The creator daily puts your future...

...in front of you about the things that will happen...

...to you. Don't laugh when you see a kid.

Even you were a kid once upon a time.

Don't laugh when you see a young person. Even you were young once.

And don't laugh when you see an old person.

Because, even you will be growing old.

And when you see a dead body...

...then don't be very sad.

Even you will be dead one day.

One should always remember this...

...that who is the owner of the house and who is its tenant.

One should always remember this...

...that who is the owner of the house and who is its tenant.

The tenant has to pay the rent.

Owner never has to pay the rent.

Because, he's the owner of the house.

Leaser needs to pay the rent.

And the day when he doesn't pay the rent...

...the same day he is out of the house.

So, are you the owner or a leaser?

No!

You said too early that you are a leaser.

Does anyone understand that they are the leaser?

You consider yourself to be the house owner.

You have never paid the rent.

And whenever the original owner visits, you just hide.

Few hide beneath the bed.

Few hide by saying they are busy.

Few hide with an excuse of their family.

Few hide with an excuse of their religion.

You don't pay the rent. You are leaser.

You pretend to be the owner.

And whoever comes to you, you say you are the house owner.

But you aren't. You are just a tenant.

People question...

...that there are so many criminals in this world...

...there are so many crimes.

Why do crimes take place?

And who all are doing the crime?

Even the superiors are attempting crime.

You can read in the newspaper...

...about the scams...

...worth billions.

And the scams are happening upfront.

The criminal attempts crime upfront.

And the people are sitting idle.

When you encounter a crime in your home...

...then what will you do that day?

Because, if you let the criminal do crime...

...then he'll attempt crime everywhere.

This is the intentions of a thief.

This is his nature.

Wherever he gets a chance and the time...

...he will run to steal.

That's why we go to different places.

We want to make the humans understand about humanity.

I hold lot of programs.

I hold programs in jail too.

Lot of people ask me why do you go to jail? They aren't good people.

No. Even God resides in them.

Till they are alive...

...they have a chance...

...to reform their lives.

The way you can reform.

You are not behind the bars. You can reform your life.

Both of them should be reformed.

It's the duty of the judge to imprison them.

To put them behind the bars. It is not our duty.

We aren't judge. We aren't cops either.

It's their job, they did their duty. Today they are in jail.

Do they deserve mercy or not?

I say they deserve mercy. For they are humans.

They will be set free some day.

Will they be set free or not?

The day they are free...

...and if they don't understand.

They will seek revenge from you.

This is what happens.

Mend your ways, understand.

Save your life.

Now let's talk about the last person.

The one who imparts the knowledge.

The issue of knowledge is very simple.

When you get curious...

...you will get it.

When you will understand, when you will practice...

...you will understand what knowledge means.

It is very easy.

If you don't have knowledge... What's that saying...

Human without knowledge...

...is like food without salt.

It looks good but when you eat it, it has a pungent taste.

This is the title given by Him.

Now let's talk about the one who gives.

There's no need to talk about him.

What?

The swords which rests in a sheath are worthless.

Not from any other things.

For example me, when I was a kid.

Everyone had a doubt that how will he make us understand.

How can he make us understand?

Right? Now slowly...

...you hair is turning Grey.

Not much.

Not much.

You know what people think about me?

He must be using hair color.

I never used color in my life.

Not in my wildest dream.

Most of my hair is black.

But slowly it will turn Grey.

Slowly... it will turn Grey.

Now I don't need glasses too. I have a good eyesight.

My teeth too are fine.

My bones are fine.

Everything is fine.

But slowly, because...

...we have to die.

But...

Prior to your death...

...whatever I can do.

For you, I'm ready to do it.

I have to make you remember that...

...your life is so extinct.

I can do this for you.

And I have been doing it.

Since I was a kid, I was doing it.

Until I live I will keep doing it.

As far as the bowing your...

...head is concerned.

You will have to bow down some day.

It will bow down some day.

It will be good...

...if we fall at...

...the feet of the indestructible.

You shouldn't fall at the feet of the entire world.

You shouldn't fall at the feet of the entire world.

Fall at the feet of the indestructible.

This is what I think is...

...blessings in the real sense.

This is what blessings means. This is what salvation means.

This is salvation.

You should attain salvation in this life.

Don't talk about next life.

You should attain it in this birth.

You should find heaven in this birth.

If at all...

...you want to save yourself from ominous things.

The biggest ominous thing in your life is...

...your ignorance.

Being rich or poor isn't related to ominous things.

This is the earth.

The greatest thing is, you are alive.

The one who was indestructible already existed.

He still exists.

And He will exist forever.

The fact is, you have to depart someday.

Review and comparison of Navy Custom pants from CP, TMC, Semapo in AOR1 - Duration: 8:16.

Hello everyone with you Fox :) And in this video

I wanted to tell you about the pants Navy Custom by Crye Precision

and make a little comparison.

Well, for starters I wanted to tell you a little about the company itself

Crye Presision

This company was established in 2000

and created their pants not only on their preferences,

but also on the preferences of war veterans.

That's why she got it

such cool and comfortable pants.

Now let's look at these pants closer.

They are fastened on velcro and buttons.

There are five fasteners for the belt

and a lot of pockets for different tasks.

This is side pockets, back pockets on velcro,

hip pockets on Velcro and buttons,

front pockets on velcro

and pockets on the shins.

Almost in all pockets there is a possibility

expand the volume, except for side pockets and back pockets.

There are also three types of adjustment

this is in the side pockets knee height adjustment,

knee girth adjustment

and ankle adjustment.

Also installed

stretched inserts in the knee area

and in the lumbar region.

Now let's

let's talk about the materials. These pants

are made by 50 percent of nylon and

50 percent cotton

and the pull-up inserts are made of

100 percent nylon.

Now let's look at the replica of Navy Custom pants from Semapo gear.

They are also fastened with Velcro and buttons.

There are five fasteners for the belt, there are also many

pockets for any of the tasks, these are lateral,

rear on velcro,

hip pockets on velcro and buttons

front pockets on velcro,

and pockets on the shins.

Also almost all pockets

can be increased in volume, except for side and back pockets.

There are three adjustments,

this knee adjustment, it is located

knee height adjustment, is in

side pocket

Adjustment of knee circumference and

ankle adjustment.

Now the materials. These pants are on

50 percent of nylon and 50 percent of cotton.

Pulling inserts are in the knee area and in the

the lower back. They consist of

91 percent of nylon and 9 percent of Lycra.

And so now we have

a replica of Navy Custom pants from TMC.

It is also fastened on velcro

and buttons, there are 5 wide fasteners

for the belt, the pockets are located in the same places.

These are side pockets, rear pockets on velco,

hip pockets on Velcro and buttons

front pockets on Velcro and pockets on the shins.

Also almost all pockets can

expand,

except for the side and back pockets.

Also there are three adjustments. Adjustment

height of the knee, it is in the side pocket,

Adjustment of knee circumference and

ankle adjustment.

Also fitted are pull-in inserts

in the region of the knee and in the lumbar region.

They stretch a little worse than the original.

Now the materials. These pants

made of rippop cotton and nylon fabric.

So let's now compare the tailoring,

quality and color of replica pattern at TMC, Semapo gear

with original pants by Crye Precision.

tailoring of these replicas

identical with the original pants.

As to the quality of the questions I have to these replicas were not.

Threads nowhere stuck out, the only thing

I would like to reiterate, that at TMS

Single-color inserts are slightly thinner than the original and

I do not know how long they will serve you.

And so let's now consider the color of the pattern.

Closer to the color of the pattern to the original fit

replica from TMS, she also has

the same pink shade as the original,

But it's a bit brighter, maybe through

a few washings this problem will go away.

Replica from Semapo gear is less suitable for

color of the pattern to the original, see

it is slightly lighter and brighter.

The color of the single-color inserts of TMS color conveyed better.

Now you can clearly see how the color of the pattern is different.

And so let's sum up now.

Original trousers by Crye Precision

they turned out to be very convenient and universal,

In this they were helped by the experience of war veterans.

What can I say to you about the replicas?

Replica from TMC I did not really like the quality

single-toned inserts, they are thinner than

the original and almost do not stretch, how much they serve I do not know.

Replica from Semapo gear

I did not like the color

single-tone inserts, because it does not look like

for that, on the color that you

can see the original pants from Crye Precision.

Well, what to choose you decide,

the original or a replica. That was all.

If you have any questions left,

then ask them in the comments. Good bay :)

Why Sperm Whale Poop Is Worth More Than Gold - Duration: 10:34.

Hi there.

What is ounce for ounce more valueable than gold?

Since you probably read the title you should already know the answer.

Todays video is about spermwhale poop.

More specifically about ambergris - which isnt regular whale dung but a very special

kind of substance that is the result of an astonishing decade-long journey.

The journey of this piece started a long time ago in the deepest parts of our oceans, thousands

of feed below the surface in the mouth of an animal that is about as mysterious as the

habitat it lives in.

The Giant Squid.

As swift as an arrow, up to 10m(32ft) long and armed with 8 arms and 2 additional feeding

tentacles, each of which riddled with hundrets of serrated sucker rings these giants are

without a doubt one of the most successfull predators of the deep.

They process their food with a razor-sharp parrot-like beak at the center of their tentacles,

capable of cutting even the toughest catch into bite-sized pieces.

But even all of this cant protect them from the biggest toothed predator on the planet

- the sperm whale.

These whales have specialized in hunting these and other deep sea squids - but how exactly

they do this is still mostly a mystery.

It was once hypothesised that they used their powerful ultrasound clicks to stun their prey.

After all, at up to 235 decibels these clicks are the most powerful biological sounds in

the animal kingdom and would be intense enough to cause permant hearing loss and even potentiall

deadly lung ruptures if they were at a frequency humans could hear.

Experiments, however, have shown that these clicks not only not stun squids, squids seem

to not even be able to detect them.

Instead spermwhales seems to only use them to locate their pray when hunting.

First with broad loud long-range clicks to scan their sourrounds and then after identifying

a target with a more focussed beam of clicks.

The closer they get to their prey the faster and quiter these clicks become.

The significantly increased click rate during the last few meters of their appraoch, also

called the buzz, likey enhances the resolution and allows for nearly realtime updates of

the prey location.

how the sperm whale can keep track of the squid when it drops below the sonar beam and

until it reaches the mouth is however, still a mystery.

once in reach of the mouth the whales likely use suction feeding to catch the prey, similarly

to dolphins and beaked whales.

All these animals can create a powerful suction through rapid movements in head, neck muscles

and mouth regions also called jerks which they use to quite litearlly vacuum in their

pray.

Still, given that these battles take place thousands of meters beneath the ocean surface

is really difficult for scientists to shed a light on them.

how exactly these giants hunt the immensense amounts of squid they need is depite the progess

of recent years still poorly understood.

Weighing up to 60 metric tons(63 tons) an adult spermwhale roughly needs one metric

ton (1.1 tons) of food per day.

This is about as much as one african elephant bull a week.

So its not surprising that at any given time you can find the remains of one thousand and

more squids in the 4 stomachs of a sperm whales which consequently also means thousands of

indegestable beaks as well as the pens and eyelenses of the squids which are also indigestable.

These items are normally vomited into the ocean when they fill up the stomach to a certain

point.

This happens in intervals of about 7-10 days and is similarly to cats vomiting hair balls,

completely normal.

In rare cases, however - scientists belief it only occurs in 1 out of 100 spermwhales

- this progress doesnt work like its supposed to.

Instead, large amounts of these materials accumulate in the last stomach where they

congregate into a large undigestible mass of squid beaks, squid pens and parasitic worms,

which are found in just about all whale stomachs.

Eventually parts of this mass - which cant be vomitted anymore - will leak into the intestine.

What exactly happens to the lump there is still debated.

The best theory is that while mass is slowly carried through the intestine it gets together

with feces engulfed by a wax-like substance secreted to protect the whales digestive systems

from the sharp objects.

Smaller chunks are probably excreted and find their way into the ocean that way but if the

mass is too large already it builds up infront of the rectum and cannot be passed.

Because the intestines of sperm whales arent meant for solid feces the sphincter muscle

simply cant relax sufficiently enough.

At the beginning however this isnt a severe problem.

thorugh a local increase in tension and water-absorbing capacity the lump get compressed and shaped

into a smooth round clump that hampers defecation but doesnt completely prevent it.

Scientists believe sperm whales can live years maybe even decades with such a boulder before

it becomes life-threateing.

But because over time the lump grows larger and larger as layer by layer more fecal matter

and more of the waxy substance are added to it eventually the walls of the rectum become

so distended that they rupture, which inevitably kills the whale.

In this case sharks and other scavangers will release the ambergris into the sea.

But this is only the beginning of its journey.

for the the fresh lump to transform from the soft, brown, fecal-smelling rough diamond

into one for the most valueble natural substances in the world it takes years sometimes even

decades in the ocean, during which the boulder ages like a fine wine.

Over time sunlight salt and water as well as bacteria and enzymes on the inside of the

lump change its molecular structure, clean and dry it.

The endresult is a much smaller and lighter lump with a pale grey or yellowish color that

could easily be mistaken for a stone when held in hand and posseses only a slight yet

distinctive scent.

Ambergris is usually found washed up on the beach either by lucky walkers or by professional

ambergris hunters.

But fishermen too find these strange lumps in their nets from time to time.

Of course its usually quite the surprise when people find out just how valuebale the find

really is.

But what exactly is it that makes Ambergris so valueable?

The main reason is of course its rarity - after years in the intestines of just a few sperm

whales and possibly decades on the open ocean the chances to find even one lump are understandebly

small.

This, together with its high demand, particularly by high end perfume makers, explains why its

still on of the most expensive and sought after materials.

Ambergris has been prized for over a thousand years because of its distinctive smell and

taste and its alleged medicinal properties The Greek supposedly added it to their wine

and the aztec to their tobacco.

During the middle ages in Europe it was used as as medication for headaches, colds, epilepsy.

It was even believed sniffing amberergris would protect you from the plague.

King Charles II reportatly loved eating it on eggs and in Aegypt it was added to coffee

as an aphrodisiac.

In Asia Ambergris was traded like spices, burned in religious ceremonies and used in

traditional medicine.

But most notably it was, and still is, prized by perfume makers all over the world for its

marine, animalistic and sweet scent but espeically for its ability to make scents last longer,

which is probably the most important criterium of a good perfume.

Today, however, because of its incredibly rarity and the legal problems it presents

most perfume makers have switched to synthetic alternatives but a few high-end perfume brands

like chanel still use it to this day.

What makes Ambergris problematic legally is that when commercial whaling was outlawed

in many parts of the world, the possession and trade of whale products, which sometimes

included ambergris, was simililarly outlawed.

For example in the United States.

This is despite the fact that that ambergris cant really be harvested from dead whales,

for the reasons mentioned earlier.

Despite these restrictions, the demand is still high for the floading gold which means

that the few pieces found each year continue to be traded for rediculous amounts.

Depending on the quality and the age of the lump gram prices usually range between $20

to $50 which means Sperm whale poop is still one of the most valueable substances on the

planet.

In 2006, a couple walking on the beach in Australia found a chunk of ambergris weighing

over 14kg(30lbs), which netted them $300.000.

In 2013, a dog walker found a 2.7kg(6lbs) lump washed up on a British beach that was

valued by experts at up to $200.000 But the most astonishing find of recent times

made three Omani fishermen when they scooped an 80kg(180lbs) piece of ambergris out of

the ocean that was values at $2.5 million - $3 million.

Given the sums involved these stories usally get picked up by local news outlets.

Sadly however, most of the resulting articles continue to spread the popular misconception

that ambergris is whale vomit - an early hypothesis for the origins of these lumps that can be

ruled out almost entirely today.

Before commercial whaling revealed the true origins of ambergris, people had many explanations

for where it came from or what it was.

Originally It was believed ambergris and amber both came from tree sap, hence the similar

names.

Other early explanations included bird droppings, dried sea foam or sea mushrooms, beehives

that had fallen into the ocean and crocodile droppings

So, if you ever walk across the beach and stumble across a stone that has no earthly

business being there - a stone that feels slighty too light for its size and has a strange

scent you've never smeller before.

Remember to take it home with you.

Thanks for watching
