Letting Go Of The Past | Sadhguru

when i lost all that was me when i lost all that i had the very basis of my life all thought i had found and they gathered around to relish in my loss to listen to my emptiness bereft of a soul or self just an equal welcome to sync mind all you have to do is close your eyes and listen for a better experience please use headphones [Music] this is going on everywhere in the world be in the moment [Music] i'll ask you a simple question be somewhere else and show me hello can you be somewhere else [Music] but that's the reason why you have a mind you can sit here and think about mumbai you can think about us today you can think about tomorrow you can think about what was 10 years ago you can think about what is 10 years later but you still live in the moment isn't it so essentially what is being said is do not think about us today do not think about tomorrow just be with what is here right now see it took millions of years of evolution to get this much cerebral capability that we can vividly remember every experience of our life and we have a fabulous sense of imagination that we can project and create a tomorrow in our mind and make efforts to manifest that now the reason why somebody's telling you be in the moment is [Music] because for many people these two faculties of memory and imagination which set us apart from every other creature on this planet no other creature in this planet has as vivid a sense of memory and imagination as we have it's taken millions of years of evolution to get us here but now because people don't know how to handle it they're saying get rid of it don't remember yesterday do not think about tomorrow just be with what is here right now [Music] in a way we're talking about how to become an earthworm once again i have great regard and respect for the earthworm it's very very eco-friendly creature but with enormous effort this life has evolved from there to here isn't it is it important to learn [Music] how we can put this memory and imagination to the highest possible usage or is it best to erase it so that you can simply be here with little peace maybe peaceful it's very easy to do this if we take away half your brain you will be very peaceful and always in the now yes is that what we are seeking is a question this has happened because people have become capable of suffering something that happened 10 years ago yes you can suffer something that happened 10 years ago and you can suffer what may happen day after tomorrow already [Music] so you are not suffering life you're just suffering your memory and imagination because it's gone berserk [Music] because you did not take charge of it or in other words the greatest faculty of what makes us human has become the problem the best thing we have here for ourselves as human beings is this cerebral capability otherwise as a body you're not nothing nothing much you really nothing much compared to a tiger or an elephant or a so many other creatures yes or no as a physical body you are nothing much compared to many creatures isn't its own but because we got this we can remember our experience of life from that we can create an imagination from that we can create or manage to plan and manifest what we want in our lives now such a great faculty has become a problem for a lot of people because the only thing the only and only thing that they are suffering is life is not happening the way i think it should happen is there any other suffering is there any other suffering for a human being it's not happening the way i think it should happen that's all there is isn't it [Music] today morning sun came up on time hello now you're looking okay so what you're not understanding what i'm saying if the sun disappears right now in 18 hours time almost everything that you know as life will be gone except a few micro microbial life which is deep down in the earth except that almost everything that you know as life human animal plant life will be totally gone 18 hours time so i just now gave you a very great news but you just ignored and just stared at me i said sun came up on time you okay what about it everything in the universe is going perfectly well today entire cosmos not a single accident but one nasty little thought is crawling in your head and it's a bad day yes just one silly thought is going on in your head and it's a bad day everything is perfect in the cosmos so what this means is your psychological reality has become larger than the existential reality what's happening in your head has become bigger than the cosmos this is a loss of perspective then you will make up all kinds of philosophies nobody has to tell you be in the moment because you cannot be anywhere else yes you just cannot be anywhere else can you be if you live you live in this moment if you die you die in this moment isn't it so so there is no danger that you may slip away from this moment that i have to teach you please be in this moment don't go away there is no way to go there is no way to go try no no mentally i'm going mentally you're not going anywhere mentally you can create images of anything your mind is a drawing board on which you can write anything you're in pune you can write mumbai in your mind should i take away this capability from you should i take this is the most beautiful aspect of being human isn't it that we can be here but we can imagine that that and that and even things that we have not seen yes or no so we are always weaving philosophies as to how to ourselves because a whole lot of people understand they think spirituality is a a certain kind of disability yes because if you say i'm spiritual the first thing they'll ask you is what are all the things you don't do or cannot do spiritual process if it's a disability [Music] oh we must banish it isn't it if spiritual process is a disability we must ban it in this country or not if it's an empowerment then everybody must have it if it's a disability we must get rid of it but unfortunately it's been seen as a disability for a long time to such an extent all kinds of things so we have these ideas that if you're spiritual [Music] you must be incapable of living in this world you must just talk about that lala land that you have not seen it's most impractical and idiotic things have passed off a spiritual process spirituality or spiritual process is the highest level of empowerment that a human being can have because if it is not so you have no business with it nobody should have any business with it so you never try to live in the moment it's just that your problem is this you have been given a super super computer do you agree with me this is the most sophisticated machine on the planet i'm asking you have you read the user's manual no that's all the problem is that is all the problem is you don't know how to manage this if your mind took instructions from you if you can sit here and have the thought that you want to have have the emotion that you want to have is your mind a problem no the damn thing is doing all kinds of things except what you want so this is the case with anything if you do not know how to manage something just about everything is a problem isn't [Music] it [Music] [Music] you
