- World renown and trailblazing historian and author (Sapiens, Homo Deus, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century) Yuval Noah Harari was a speaker at the India Today Conclave (March 9, 2018). This is a small clip where he discusses his experience with Vipassana and also some discussion on Reality, Suffering, and Consciousness.

SIDE-NOTES:
I attended my first Vipassana 10-day course in Jan 2018, in Kaufmann TX.
* I agree with Harari's statement "It is the least dogmatic thing I ever encountered in life."
* Like Harari I want to continue with "practicing Vipassana meditation to see reality more clearly."

Vipassana practice core = Continuous awareness of physical sensations, without reacting
Every sound, vision, taste, smell, everything, that contacts the body instantly produces some sensation.
The technique focuses on natural physical sensations as the crucial link between mind and body, the key to understanding human behavior.
* Through Vipassana one realizes that one’s own attitudes and addictions, suffering and happiness, are not caused by the outside world.
* It is the reactions to pleasant or unpleasant sensations the world evokes within the body, that dictate one’s actions, and conditions the mind.
* By watching the physical sensations accompanying these emotions, and by understanding their impermanent nature, one can actually start changing the habit of blind reaction.
* Between the two poles of expression and suppression, lies a third option, mere observation.
Reminds me of the quote: “Between Stimulus and Response There Is a Space. In That Space Is Our Power To Choose Our Response” Perhaps Vipassana meditation can give me more-quantity & quality-access to this space.
Brief Description of Vipassana:
* Vipassana is an ancient meditation techniques. The word Vipassana means seeing things as they really are.
* It is the process of self- purification by self-observation.
* One begins by observing the natural breath to concentrate the mind.
* With a sharpened awareness one proceeds to observe the changing nature of body and mind and experiences the universal truths of impermanence, suffering and egolessness.
* This truth-realization by direct experience is the process of purification.
* It can be freely practiced by everyone, at any time, in any place, and will prove beneficial to one and all.
What Vipassana is not:
* It is not a rite or ritual based on blind faith.
* It is neither an intellectual nor a philosophical entertainment.
* It is not a rest cure, a holiday, or an opportunity for socializing.
* It is not an escape from the trials and tribulations of everyday life.
What Vipassana is:
* It is a technique that will eradicate suffering.
* It is a method of mental purification which allows one to face life's tensions and problems in a calm, balanced way.
* It is an art of living that one can use to make positive contributions to society.
I decided to keep a video-log of my Vipassana voyage, one video every 3 - 6 months:

I'm was born in a secular muslim family in Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷 and was always cynical about religions and all similar stuff untill I found the great jewels of Buddha's teachings and Vipassana, it changed my perspective towards life and it means a lot.
Namo Buddhaya ☸
Well said!
The triple gem (Buddha-Dhamma-Sangha, Teacher-Teachings-University) has revealed a perspective and a path that is priceless and timeless. May the practice and teachings continue to spread and continue to eradicate suffering everywhere.
भवतू सब्ब मंगलम!!
The interviewer must attend a 10 Day course, She would become much wiser
We all should
Agreed
Amen Kasnia agreed
That 10 days can be hypnotic as well. Better be in tune with our own nature
How wouldi t have make any difference..
Very perceptive meditator : " We get extremely upset when reality does'nt conform to our favourite fantasy ".
Buddha 2500 years ago.
Correct
What shame it is, in our land of the Buddha and Vivekananda, Yogananda and Ramana Maharishi, we have such people.
Buddha and Epictetus, two of my favourite mentors. ❤
All comes from one source - no mind.

This is called taking interview without homework😁😁😁😁
I am grateful to find out that my favorite historian practices vipassana, too.
There is a complete chapter on his Vipassana experience and practice in his most recent book, "21 Lessons for the 21st Century". It is the last Chapter. Superb book! Good Luck
@@RashidKapadia I have it. Will read it this week. Namaste
@@RashidKapadia thank you rashid. I read two of his books sapiens and homo deus. Need to read the one you mentioned.
I have read above hundred books most of all world renowned nonfiction but not single made me such a crazy like did noval's all 3 great books.He is a too genius and clear sighted thinker.
@@RashidKapadia He also mentioned this in the acknowledgement in Homo Deus. From there I came here. I've been meditating for 6 months and truly I'm recovery my existentialism.
Vipassana changed my life ✋🙏
Mine too.
Metta from Central Andes in Perú
Same dear here as well
How it changed? I will start pleas let me know. How your life changed?
@@gitu_tg absolutely. Please don't listen to these introductory explanations. Just enroll and do it and know your really yourself.
Read my comment above.:-) :-) :-)
"Animals suffer" thank you dr Harari for speaking out for the most disinherited
lucy diamonds Do you want him to talk for all the dumb creatures on the planet?
voiceless doesn t mean dumb
lucy diamonds Ah, you got me there. Smart.
I Call Bulla Sadly you're one of the dumb creatures.
@GO all killing of animals is wrong
As a fellow vipassana meditator I do very much understand what he is talking about. Well said!
Well said. Me too. As a fellow Vipassana meditator too, we are fortunate to have such a famous and respected person-voice delivering such a clear message.
He's one of the reasons I went to my first 10- Day course
lord Buddha taught Vipassana 2600 years ago and still it remains relevant to todays world.
Thanks #devadatta.
Additionally, the teachings and techniques are being increasingly investigated and validated by scientific inquiry and method.
I believe that in the next 50-years, training facilities for these teachings & techniques will be as ubiquitous as schools, sports fields, and medical facilities are today. In every village, in every town, in every city.
True. The buddha is a present to the universe from India.
The Indian interviewver get a lots of criticisms but Yuval Harari is so articulate and adaptable that the interview keep it's pertinence . I love his description of the Vipassana meditation and the process of suffering.
Laurent Messier He is very knowledgeable and as you said, increasingly adaptable and empathetic.
An Indian interviewer with no expertise of something which is taught in her neighborhood learns a lesson from an Israeli writer with an experience of her neighborhood. Actually the point is if one wants to learn something distance or boundaries whether material or immaterial doesn't matters. As he says in his book 'Sapiens' the concept of nation is an imagination so as to make people Cooperative and therefore it's TRUE to the some extent. There is a long roads beyond vipasna as well. Let me also throw some light on lifes purpose as the interviewer asked him about the same, the purpose of life for each individual depends upon his own external or internal and material or spiritual life learnings and experiences. Therefore every individuals purpose of life is totally unique but still one thing is common that lifes purpose has to have something which brings peace of mind and satisfaction or contentment along with such a level of acceptance of life that makes ones life something which can't be explained but can only be experienced by an individual him/her self. 🙏
You should know, Hatari is a trusted advisor to Klauss Schwab. In an interview he said, "Humans are hackable now, and The days of free will are over!" I am not trolling, friend.
India has way better interviewers and extremely enlightened people.. The questions asked could have been better I agree but that doesn't have anything to do with her being an Indian.
@@scottlee9373 I practised vipassana meditation for some time with a teacher who was an ordained Buddhist monk, who was very experienced in this type of meditation. It was all going well (I even started to believe I had no soul) until he said in a talk 'bill gates is a really wholesome guy', then in another talk promoting the great reset, then one of his pictures showing the one eyed symbol and I knew this was the worst path I could possibly be on...
I listen to the interviewer and get angry and then I listen to Yuval and feel blissful. This goes on a loop.
I love his authenticity. He embellished nothing; just told it like it is. Being Mindfully Aware is a constant struggle, but we all can do it with Vipassana Meditation.
Yusef Endure, well said. I too admire Professor Harari's clear thinking, clear explanations, and his resulting authenticity. Vipassana meditation is indeed a treasure, a gem, hiding in plain sight. Hope the acceptance and practice of the Vipassana technique continues to spread world wide. Increased societal and global peace and harmony is bound to follow.
Vipassana changing my life completely.
Vipassana has been transformative for hundreds of thousands of people. Starting with his first course in 1969, Mr. SN Goenka, along with his teachers and assistant teachers have done an incredible job in spreading and sharing this gem of a technique.
Sabaka mangal ho🙏
The interviewer has not prepared at all or is unaware about a lot ... Vipassana & visions of the Matrix code ... Very difficult to watch this level of question
She is doing this due to most of the audience is not aqauinted with this practice as well as having a little fun with it. If you notice it's received with some giggles. The Matrix part is not meant to be taken seriously.
Shub99 Very difficult to understand your comment too. Go to grammar school and spare us of your piss poor language.
I Call Bulla Fuck off .. was that clear enough for you. Twat
Shub99 nepotism rocks!
You are right. Unfortunately in India, most of the English speaking 'intellectuals' are of this quality.
He was my vipassana teacher once, such an inspiring person.
Oh. He’s an assistant teacher? Nice!
@@RadhikaMig yes it is! At least until 5 years ago, since I attended my last vipassana course.
😲😲😲😲😲😲
Could you elaborate what they teach ? I am working professional getting leave for 10 days is difficult to be and i trying since 1 year but i didn't get leave during course time .so i want to know what exactly about it
@@phanikatam4048 they teach the art of living the present moment. This technique, help to healing traumas of the past and every kind of craving and addictions
Sabka Mangal ho
🙏
5:22 "when reality doesn't confirm to our favourite fantasy"
wow. mind blown
The questions of the interviewer are so bad :( She lost a huge opportunity :(
Unfortunately, it's not just happened in India. It happens in many countries in Asia :-(
I found them to be sincere questions that many people might have about meditation, e.g. the Bollywood view.
Hollywood's view too
I'm sure the interview brought to her an opportunity to deeply reflect on her personal "fantasies" that Yuval talks about!
This author is far too qualified for her questions
You do not know what is happening to you inside, but you always try to know what is happening outside, thank you, Harari.
I never knew that one of my favourite authors practices Vipassana! I practiced 10 days in Goa.
Harari's dedication in his book Homo Deus *To my teacher, S. N. Goenka (1924-2013), who lovingly taught me important things* is what triggered my Vipassana Voyage.
Harari should write an entire book on this topic. He has stated that he believes understanding and taming the mind and humanity's inner demons is the key to avoiding the grim future he otherwise foresees awaiting humanity.
The questions are neither good or bad, they are questions and his answers open up and bring enlightenment to those who are patient enough and with love in their hearts not blame. Observing is an interesting experience. It is ongoing for all of us.
Thank you Jennifer Lynch for your wholesome and gracious comment--and for your equanimity.
From the documentary "Doing Time, Doing Vipassana" (th-cam.com/video/WkxSyv5R1sg/w-d-xo.html):
Between the poles of "reaction" and "suppression", lies a third observation, "mere observation".
This is right. Asked to witness, but people are reacting. We react all the time. Vipassana is the meditation discovered, practiced and taught by the Buddha. Just observe the present reality as it is. Then it leads to liberation...
Thank you so much for reminding me to remain equanimous, I was about to voice my criticism towards the interviewer. I really learnt alot from Yuval's responses.
Thank you , you're right!
Before Vipassana: bad questions. After Vipassana: Still bad questions, but we are not angry about it.
Brilliant and Beautiful
10 seconds... That is so comforting. I thought it was just with me.
For my first four days there, I felt proud if I could reach 5 seconds... sheesh
This guy is brilliant. He explains and tackles complex and complicated issues with such an ease. Doing it Sapiens way!
Bharat is land of knowledge, land of seeker, land of spirituality
Thank you *Yuval Noah Harari* for giving very clear vision about *Vipassana*
I am doing daily Vipassana meditation since 2013
100% pure process of ध्यान
🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
and yet, he doesnt achieve the oriented objective for Vipassana, see what he's doing now for the new world order
@@dnmgch What is he doing?
I love this interviewer. She helps me develop my practice of Vipassana. :-)
Let's accept d reality as it's that's d AWARENESS N EQUANIMITY power of Vippassana what I learnt since 27yrs with lots metta to d interviewer, d interviewed n all as well💐🙏
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great...☸️
vipassana changed my life
Millions feel the same way : ). METTA
Vipassana is the most useful technic for Liberation.
I am thankful to Vipasana it transformed my emotions.... Peace and harmony in my feelings...
sapiens is probably the best book of this century...
Agree that it is an outstanding book. Made me appreciate history in a way I'd never done before.
Bro u must have read only one book in your lifetime.. to call it a book of a century
Ya for me too even better than my previous favourits by steven pinker and jared diamond's epics.
@@kuldeeplakhawat365 bro can you recommend list of better books if you have idea.it's my request don't get me wrong.
@@VikramSingh-vg7gv I will not tell you the best book of century but rather best in entire human history..
(These are from amongst the ones I have read)
- Mandukya Upnishad
-Kena Upnishad
- Aproksha Anubhuti by Shankaracharya
-Vivekchudami by Shankaracharya
-Ashtavakra Gita
-Yoga sutras by Patanjali
-Gita as it is: commentary by Prabhupada
-Shrimad Bhagavad:commentary by Prabhupada
-Gospel of ShriRamakrishna
- Imitation of Christ by Thomas Kempis
- I am that by Nisargadatta
- Who am I by Ramana Maharshi
Just to name a few. You might read some of these or similar works. Why don't we glorify and advertise these books. Does sapiens provide any solace to our soul or answers the ultimate queries of man.
I have read sapiens, it's a good book. Explains well this transitory world and body. Engages one in vain queries and dilemmas, answers to which are of no purpose.
Let me know what you think.
Just wow! This was really amazing especially when he talked about pain test on entities! Temples and religion!
This is absolutely Brilliant
Salute to your humbleness and clear point of view sir ! 😎👍🙏💯
Incredibly well said. Love and respect.
[ @4:58 ] "...The deep source of so much of our personal and collective problems is in the FANTASIES that we create. And then we mistake them for reality and THEN we try to IMPOSE them on reality and we get extremely upset when it doesn't work, when reality doesn't conform to our favorite fantasy..." So true...
Vipassana Change My Life🙏🙏🙏🙏 I know Who I am?
He speaks very nicely and in a very simple way ......
Thanks, uncle for sharing this wonderful video. We need more such videos on TH-cam to help so many of us who are looking for real inner-peace.
Salute to you man.

One of the best minds in the world ❤️
I have attended 10 days vipassana at sarnath. Also practice regular basis. He telling right. Very less people will understand vipassana. I even failed to convince my family.
No words to say thank you ... Be happy
Thank u. This is great and prcisly what we need to learn and know to live in a wonderful world. Our own world, not a world created by who knows who....Namaste
welldone welldone welldone. the dhamma works. reality as it is. may many more people be able to walk on this path.
Thank you for uploading ❤️✊
Yuval is so very inspiring. Thank you for your wisdom.
I really love this
“There is no key to happiness, the door is always open” - Mother Teresa
Hope Indians can learn and Yuval can mention it more that vipassana type practice has nothing to do with spirituality or some force. Before one wants to learn or understand anything complex, the ability to meditate is the first enabler. Without the ability to be content with boredom , stress snd misery will dominate the mind.
When you are in perspective, everything changes. This is really insighful. It's not about a record of observation or the best 'reality check', but the immediate awareness raised from that perception.
"... if I can't observe the reality of my own breath for 10 seconds,
how can I hope to observe the reality of the global political system
or the global economy system...?"
Great video!! found you through suggested videos. I just started a TH-cam Channel not long ago and very interested in the human evolution and spirituality topic. Keep following your passion and creating great content. Sending you good vibes and lots of love 💖
This interview showcases the importance of the interviewer!
As an interviewer, I believe you have to read the books of the interviewee multiple times to familiarize yourself with his thoughts. I feel like the interviewer has not even bothered reading Noah's books. She seems to be unfamiliar with his way of thinking, and there have been a few misunderstandings in such a short interview.
Exactly she is very annoying
Bhavatu Sabba Mangalam
Sadu
Sadu Sadu Sadu
Interviewer is so under prepared,immature and its seen in the quality of the questions/counter questions
Problems don't exist. People do.
Craig Castanet, D.C. wooooow, is it right? I don't think so.....
L'enfer c'est les autres as Jean-Paul Sartre puts it :-)
@B Peperkorn I think you're right. But Tony Robbins said it too.
Ego
And, of course, the stoics would say, "Memento mori", and "Amor fati".
Having 'struggled' for years and ' failing ' billions of times...I came across this discussion . Amazing. Authentic. Beautiful. Insightful. Liberating. What a lot of selfmade stories we cling to, and keep suffering.!
What a great mind.
"The deep purpose of a place like a temple is to bring peace and harmony to the world. Now if a temple brings violence and disharmony to the world, it's a broken temple. What do you need it for?"
Genius. As a compatriot of Mr. Harari I wish everyone in my country and in neighbouring Palestine listened to these words of wisdom, imagine how many lives would be saved.
you presume the deep purpose of a temple is to bring peace and harmony to the world. I've never heard that before so it cannot be the universal definition. Best he had started by saying "IF" when he set up his STRAW MAN ARGUMENT but he's too arrogant for that. No one will even know this man's name in 50 years. He's so shallow and trendy. He and Steven Pinker should have babies: They would be the most ordinary offspring in the world. Hahahahahaha.
@@garypuckettmuseDon't exhaust yourself trying to understand what you clearly can't.
I think Harari got many things wrong this time.Probably he will realize it if he meditates further.It is obvious to many that when we say the country is suffering it means the people in that region.
A nation is just a human creation. ❤
Brilliant.
Lets be humans.
vipassana is theWonderful gift for me...
Same here Madhav Mishra.
Well said. I agree. Sadhu.
With METTA: "Sab-ka mangal hoye re"
I wish Harari would devote a whole book to these topics. Understanding the mind is probably the only thing that could potentially avert the grim fate that may await our civilization and our species in the 21st Century.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Like you, I sure wish that Harari would devote an entire book to this topic. And I won't be surprised if he eventually does.
Meanwhile, in his latest book, "21 Lessons for the 21st Century", he superbly spells put what we should all be concerned and focused about in this century. The last chapter is about meditation. It is very good.
Another book which I think addresses this topic (understanding the mind in the light of emerging science) very well is "Why Buddhism is True" by Robert Wright. Highly recommended.
This knowledge and approach to world peace and problem solving is spreading surely and slowly.
I've written a fairly long article where I have expressed hope that with the return & spread of the Vipassana meditation technique around the globe, we are entering a 2,500 year era of suffering reduction and suffering elimination on a scale never seen before. The article is titled: "50 Years Ago, in 1969, Vipassana-an Ancient Meditation Technique, Returned to India, the Land of its Origin." If you would like to read it, here's a link: necessarybridges.com/2019/05/50-years-ago-in-1969-vipassana-an-ancient-meditation-technique-returned-to-india-the-land-of-its-origin/
And here is the idea expressed in a 1-minute (unlisted) video. th-cam.com/video/dcl-Y6zV8bY/w-d-xo.html
With Best Wishes & METTA for ALL.
@@RashidKapadia It has been a few years, but thank you kindly. A book you might be interested in is "Spirit Tech: The Brave New World of Consciousness Hacking", where the authors describe the incredible finds in neuroscience and technological tools we are developing to rapidly accelerate the spiritual path.
mindandculture.org/projects/engaging-virtual-environments/spirit-tech/
I know this from experience. I struggled terribly with meditation for many years and made no progress. I had addiction and kundalini syndrome issues and it all overpowered my ability to meditate. A few years ago, I used a powerful molecule called NAD+ (which also has age-reversal and slowing properties, and is fantastic for sore backs and joints) to partly repair my abused brain, and eight months ago I discovered neurofeedback, which is settling my constant fight-or-flight nervous system down after 25 years.
Also, the resurgence of psychedelic research after it was killed off for 50 years is a very good sign.
The reality is, meditation alone will *never* succeed in reaching the masses at the scale and with the power required to change civilization in time to avoid disaster.
It's Simple and so deep! It's amazing really!
Yuval has done a stellar job of not judging the ignorance (moha) and simply put, delusional grandeur of the interviewer, instead, with compassion he tries to encourage her through his words and personal experience to observe herself. It's so obvious she has never sat in silence to observe her mind for even half a second, let alone 10. What fascinates me is how Vipassana, which originated in India, is so distant from Indian culture today. They are overrun with consumerism, a fake reality. Yuval eloquently explained that all of that mental fiction is man-made, not lasting. The deep satisfaction he describes gained by Vipassana meditation is not an intellectual understanding it's an experiential one - experiencing reality as it is, not how you project or imagine it to be. You can't ask a question and expect to know his level of insight.
Well said Derek Kaye. Mr. Yuval's default compassion is a shining testimonial to the efficacy of the Vipassana teachings, technique, and practice.
Excellent way to explain Vipassana meditation!
Excellent analogy
Be Happy 😒
Thanks for sharing this video,
be happy!
Love this guy.
gstrummer g Damn.
Most intelligent words
Full of wisdom
Great Topic and Great Meditation.
She treated it like a political interview with cross questions and a bit of condescending tone. But as always amazed by Mr Harari’s ability to keep it relevant anyway.
Very good observation.
Condescending she is.
A wise human being
People are criticizing the interviewer. I think she did a very honest interview, and Harari answered the questions very well too. Don't judge her because she had genuine questions.
sabka mangal ho !!
Let's accept d reality as it's that's d AWARENESS N EQUANIMITY power of Vippassana what I learnt since 27yrs with lots metta to d interviewer, d interviewed n all as well💐🙏
Yes I agree to your presentation what a great realities you have spoken grateful to you
Thank you
Approach is reminiscent of Phenomenology, a method of experiential inquiry by Edmund Husserl and adopted and adapted most notably by Sartre and Heidegger.
Powerful. I like it a lot.
Vipassana. Must for us.
Excellent
If you live in the present moment - you are sure to be purposeful and happy person. Through meditation one can attain peace, health and wealth.
Great thoughts from the heart! Thank you
Thanks ❤️💫
True explanation on Vipassana meditation
Yuval is an idol
Vipassana changed my life🙏
See the reality as it is. Very good.
Wow ❤
Very useful thing is your description below the video. For a person like me who like to explore about the topics they were mentioning in talks. You made it more easier for me reach the right sources to know more. Thank you Rashid 😊
You're welcome Gowtham Ravichandran.
If you decide to pursue a Vipassana voyage--good luck!
Metta.
@@RashidKapadia 😄 Got the meaning. A new word to me.
Metta 🙏
Happy sir,no words
Amazing!!! Exactly is correct. This man speaks the truth. Bravo!! Great video!! Meditation is not going somewhere else and imagining pleasant things and going to another planets. Observing the reality is real meditation. No changing of what is. As it us. No trying to change reality. Leave the things on their own way and be the observer.
Thanks to the Buddha, we can learn. Vipassana. This technique comes from the Buddha. As he was searching many years the “truth” with different teachers, he mastered the concentration meditation, but then he realized that this is not the final point. And he did practice alone and he became the Enlightened one, the Buddha. Thanks to him, we know Vipassana nowadays and we can get rid of our disorders. We can use the technique to uproot our disorders. Not only calm our mind through concentration, but also change our thinking and reactions . Uproot those defilements in us. Through Vipassana.
It is a technique that i experienced and that changed my life totally. It is the technique that made me turn to be a Buddhist. Thank you.
Namo Buddhaya!🙏🙏🙏🌺
Namo buddha🙏
Bt i m trying since 2 months bt still can't concentrate on my own breaths...what i have to do now??..do i need some changes in my practicing method??
@Rashid Kapadia Thank you for this informative side-note!
