The most fundamental practice in the yogic system, which is the basis of everything else that we are doing, is called as bhuta shuddhi. Bhuta shuddhi means, you know, bhuta means pancha bhutas or the five elements. Shuddhi means to cleanse that. If you learn to cleanse the five elements in the system, that's all there is. All other yogic practices are an extract from the five… from the pancha bhuta system of yoga. If you do a certain level of cleansing for the elements then you attain to what's called as bhuta siddhi, that means you have mastery over the elements. If you have mastery over the elements you not only have mastery over the body, over the mind, over the very creation Seventy-two percent of your body is water. If this 72% of water in your body becomes sweet, it would be… you would be quite a wonderful person, isn't it? Yes? Another 12% is earth. If you make that sweet, 84%, very good percentage, isn't it? Another 6% is air. That’s easy because we can control the air and create various situations. Yogic practices are there to make the air behave in a sensible way within you; 90%. Another 4% is fire – you can keep the fire as it is because after all you live in a society, hmm? You need to burn somebody a little bit, isn't it? And you’re married, so you need… sometimes you need some firefighting, isn't it? Another 6% is akash or the space. Today once again phenomenal amount of research has gone into what is akash. They’re talking about what's called as akashic intelligence. your ability to sit here is simply because the akashic energy, the space is holding you in place. So the highest intelligence in creation is being… has been recognized as the space. It is doing things which you cannot imagine. It is throwing up creation just like that. So there is a way to treat it within you and outside of you. So knowing this, the five elements, we produced a system through which you can take charge of the five elements within you. If these five elements are in your control, just whole life process is in your control. The very process of birth, living and death is 100% in your control if you take these five elements into your charge. A simple process like this can change the fundamentals of one’s life, if you give yourself totally to it. ..... Sadhguru: It's just Body is a play of five elements, so is the world, so is the universe. Everything is a play of five elements. In these five unless you want to explore mystical dimensions you don’t have to bother about the space. So there’re only four. Among the four seventy two percent of your body is just water. Another twelve percent is earth, you know only twelve percent of your body is actually earth, largely it is water. So it's eighty-four percent. Another six percent is air; air is the easiest thing to manage and take charge of because there is breath and you can take charge of it in a certain way. Another four percent is fire. Taking mastery over fire could do many things to you but because you are house-holders living in family situation, you don’t have to take charge of fire. You can keep it as it is; sometimes you can burn somebody a bit. You need it right? You’re married (Laughs). Once in a way if you don’t burn them a bit, it may not work. Yes or no? The remaining six percent is space; you don’t have to bother about that unless you want to explore mystical dimensions of the existence. To live well four elements is enough, fifth one is not relevant for people who just want to live well. It's very important because every substance, all the four elements have memory; particularly earth and water have a very strong sense of memory. Today modern science has explored this in a big way and they are proving to you that water has tremendous memory. Particularly about water, much research has happened. If I go to a new place something sensitive, something important if I go, I don’t go and talk to the local guide; I’ll just look for an unbroken rock, something that’s not been touched and broken; I just go and sit. I know everything about the place because there is a phenomenal memory out there. So with water. When water behaves in a certain way, depending upon what type of memory it carries; it's from this, people are going to consecrated spaces or temples and dying for a few drops of water because the water has the memory of the divine. They want that water to get into them,. that’s what theerth means. Threerth means water which has the memory of the divine. You want that water which has a good memory to go into you. So always your grandmothers were aware of this. Tthey told you ‘if somebody gives you water, first you must look at their face not what they’re giving you. Ssomebody gives you something to eat don’t look at the food, look at the person, how are they giving it?.’ They need not chemically poisoned this, just with the emotion and thought things can go bad. So this is no more a grandmother story; this is scientifically proven now that this happens that water has memory. You can either turn this sweet or make it bitter with your rubbish. If you can cause sweetness and bitterness for the water which is in this tumbler, can't you do this to the water that is here? So if you just make the waters within you sweet, you’ll become seventy two percent okay. Okay? (Laughs) Another twelve percent of earth if you do, eighty-four percent, you are doing great. Air, if you maintain it, ninety percent you’re doing great. Fire, if you want to purify, it's much more work, it's much …it takes much more to purify the fires in you. Fire is in different ways. We call this There are various aspects of fire, there is reproductive fire, there is digestive fire, there is mental fire, there is heart fire and there is inner fire. There’re five dimensions of fire. These five are difficult to work for ordinary people. It takes lot of discipline but the three can be worked out. The reproductive fire, the digestive fire and the mental fire can be worked out very easily – very easily means; with little effort one can do that. Tthe other two will take much more to work with. If you just purify these fires then you are no more an ordinary person. You’re not just a healthy, happy person you are much more because once you have mastery over the fire element in you then you’re touching the space. You’re just one step away; suddenly you are not just an ordinary human being, you are not just happy and healthy human being; something else is burning with you which is not Most people in the world will never know that or till now they have not. Our objective is everybody should know it. If you took charge of the fire in your groin, the fire in your belly and the fire in your mind how many miraculous things you could do with this life? How much mastery you would have and how…how well you could live, how consciously and how much by choice you could live rather than be a slave of compulsiveness, isn't it? Yes? This is not about denying yourself this or that. Tthis is just about everything happens by choice for you not by compulsion. So taking charge of the elements is the most fundamental form of yoga and all yoga, whatever kind of yoga everything is an offshoot of bootha suddhi, either, it is in…it is on the track or it's gotten distorted but everything is an offshoot of this. ................ Shyama: Pranam Sadhguru. I have a question about Bhuta Shuddhi. We speak about cleansing of the five elements. Cleansing them of what, why do they become impure and what is the difference between Pancha Bhuta Aradhana which happens on Shivaratri and the Bhuta Shuddhi process which we learn as a part of Hata Yoga? Sadhguru: The five elements, just five, if they have to play so much mischief it’s not one or two manifestations, trillions of manifestations if all this has to happen, if it does not acquire other qualities or possibilities, there is no way with five you can create so many. They are naturally receptive in nature. The air that you breathe, the food that you eat, the water that you drink we will leave the other two because you don’t have much experience of those two. Today, we know we can influence them just with thought, emotion, intension or energy we can change the quality of the water, we can change the quality of the air and the food that we eat, just with our intention or emotion or thought process. So the five elements within you which makes this body are deeply, deeply influenced a certain layer of information, which generally referred to as the Karmic substance gathers; without it the elements would not behave in a particular way within you. It would be same every human being would have been same if there was no specific information. see, if you eat a banana you become a woman the banana becomes a woman. Somebody here eats, it becomes a man, if a cow eats it becomes a cow - same banana. Banana is not so intelligent to make itself into a man, woman, cow, whichever animal consumes. It is a certain amount of information within you, which transforms a banana into a woman or a man or a cow or an elephant or whatever for that matter. What you call as myself, individual self is essentially a certain volume of information and the fundamental way that it is stuck on to you is through the elements because there is nothing here apart from the elements. So, cleansing it is also about cleansing it and making it free of the accumulated information or the karmic substance. If this is not done then you will be a strong individual but you will never know how to breach this boundary that you have set for yourself. This is not some boundary set by the existence; this is a boundary that you’ve set for yourself. If you cannot cross the boundary that you set up, that’s a foolish way to live, isn’t it? You set up a boundary without knowing why and you can’t cross it after sometime and you start claiming “This is how I am!” This is… you know this is a common statement you hear everywhere, you ask them to cross some limitation “No! This is how I am.” This is not how you are this is what you made yourself to be. Now, cleansing becomes relevant when you want to extend yourself beyond these boundaries when freedom and liberation becomes the goal of your life. If you want to be a concrete ball there is no need to cleanse, there’s no need to cleanse at all. So concretization of karmic processes will make you rigid. Rigidity will bring enormous amount of suffering, enormous. You don’t need a calamity to happen; you are a calamity by yourself. You do not need any external assistance, this is called self-help. Most people when it comes to their suffering they are all on self-help. You know Nobody need to poke them. When was it last time that somebody physically poked you? Hmm? When was it last time? Maybe when you were in school somebody did this to you. After that nobody is bothered about doing anything like that. Most of you, almost all of you have never been poked with a dagger or a sword at the most a pin or a finger nothing more. But for most of you in the last ten, fifteen or twenty-five years nobody has ever even poked you with a finger because everybody is weary of you. Who’s So how much if you look at the volume of suffering that you go through - anger, fear, hatred, jealousy, whatever else you go through, misery whatever- how much has been caused from external agencies, how much is caused by you if you look at it, it is a miniscule percentage which has been caused from external agencies. “No, no, no my mother-in-law said this, my boss said that” - they are saying what they’re saying but they are not poking you. Physical suffering has not been caused to you from outside unless you’re from Middle-East For most of you such things have not happened but rest is all your own making. This is simply because the imprint is so deep that you behave in predetermined compulsive ways. A thousand times the same situation has happened but still the next time it happens you almost react the same way - it takes a certain amount of awareness, certain amounts of shaking you up to respond in a different way. So, what’s called Bhuta Shuddhi is to do it in the most fundamental level. If we cleanse your mind if we clean it in the morning, by afternoon you will have a whole new world again It’s really waste. This is why no… no significance or no importance is given in the yogic system towards your psychological structure what you think, what you feel they don’t care because if you change it today again within few hours you will change it back into something else. We are only interested in the body; this is why yoga calls everything as body physical body, mental body, energy body like this but no mind because the psychological activity that’s happening towards which you have given enormous importance is of no consequence or significance. Depending upon the type of information imprinted within you. Whatever is your karma, whatever is your sanskara, that is how you think, that’s how you feel, that’s how your emotions happen, everything happens that way. So we are interested in handling the root. If you prune the tree it will sprout back with vengeance no point pruning it. If you handle the root it’ll be gone. So the very root of karmic imprint is in the elements, that is the most fundamental space. It takes much more than handling other aspects. So, generally …because most people are not interested in absolute transformation. They just want a little change, they don’t want to lose themselves. Bhuta Shuddhi means you want to lose yourself whether it’s good, bad, ugly, beautiful, it doesn’t matter you want to lose everything that you have built, so that the Creator’s creation will stand up and shine within you. It’ll take a certain amount of work the Bhuta Shuddhi that’s been taught to you is very basic. If you want to do more serious forms of Bhuta Shuddhi it will mean it becomes your entire life, it’s not something that you do on the side. So even if you do a very minor version of Bhuta Shuddhi, you will see the change that happens in you is permanent there is no tendency to fall back and that’s important. Otherwise everybody changes for three days and again they fall back into the rut. After sometime that will not happen when you assist whatever else you’re doing with the Bhuta Shuddhi practice. Nadha Aradhana… I mean the Pancha Bhuta Aradhana is another matter, that’s a ritual. For those who are not willing to do sadhana just to give them some benefit, that’s the beauty of a ritual, that’s a limitation of a ritual. Somebody else can conduct a ritual for you – you don’t have to do any sadhana, just sit there and benefit from that but then only if they conduct, you have it otherwise you don’t have it. Suppose we don’t do Pancha Bhuta Aradhana, you don’t have it. So, the ritual is always like this, it is beautiful because people who do not know anything about it they can still benefit from it. At the same time if those who conduct, do not conduct it properly it will not happen to you. If they do not conduct it at all, it will never be available to you. But if you do Bhuta Shuddhi practice by yourself if you’re willing you can keep it up and you will see as time progresses its impact is undeniable. Above all, whatever it does, however small the practice is, whatever it does, there is no turning back. That’s a very aspect of Bhuta Shuddhi. If you if you let’s say six months you do asana, another one year you give it up, everything will back will be back as it was. Six months you did pranayam if it’s a powerful process like Shakti Chalana Kriya, if you did, its impact will be there but of… at a certain period of time if you don’t do it for a certain period of time, again it’ll turn back. You meditate, you do Shoonya meditation for some time - if you don’t do it for a certain period of time slowly it’ll turn back. But that is not the nature of Bhuta Shuddhi. Bhuta Shuddhi if you do nothing seems to be happening because it’s very fundamental and it’s slow but whatever happens, it will not turn back. It stays with you, as long as you hold this body it stays with you it will not go because it’s on a very fundamental level. That’s the significance of Bhuta Shuddhi.
