Sadhguru-Love is the vehicle for Oneness

good evening everyone and stuff it's really amazing after eight centuries in today's society Rumi's once again popular it's it's really amuse me and amazed me because ruby is such an extremist he's our tribe totally extremists you cannot be a lover unless you're an extra missed a lover who is not an extremist is not at all allow earth if one wants to know love and it's a most intensity one has to be an extremist a moderate person cannot be allowed a lukewarm person cannot be a lover only somebody who is boiling the tension beyond all reason only he can be a true lover so it especially I see in United States everybody is talking about Rumi for whatever reasons really amuses me and amazes me that in today's world people are really talking about Rumi and everything is about give and take and transaction who is getting the best out of it talking about Rumi is it's very beautiful that it's beginning to happen such a thing because Romi means now giving and taking just throwing yourself into it and burning up with the passions this is not unique to ruie anybody who's being a lover was loud carried them beyond certain limitations have always been like this otherwise a lukewarm love with an insipid love it's only a transaction for fulfilling each of each other's needs and desires a game that is played if one wants to use that emotion to reach the ultimate nature it has to be an extra misguided emotion an ordinary emotion will not take people there it's nice that in your belly that is a rowing club when I heard about it I I really liked ID because thinking people people who have agendas for their life cannot do Rumi but it's nice that people are thinking about Rumi at least considering and definitely probably reading his poetry and exchanging being touched by it in some way because an emotion like that is like fire which burns up it is not going to deliver any benefits it's just going to burn us out but it is in burning up the limited that the possibility of the ultimate enters into our lives defining love defining love let's look at the various forms of expression that love is finding first of all first most people in the world love is just a mutual benefit scheme people have different kinds of needs physical psychological emotional social financial so various types of needs to fulfill these needs I love you is always a good month without that mantra many doors will not open for you so that's one level of thing but fundamentally what is this that we calling Islam somewhere the way the human being is right now no matter where he is in his life no matter what he is what he's achieved somewhere there is a sense of insufficiency it's not enough the way he's the way he is right now is not enough he wants to include something else as a part of himself to make himself more complete so love is a huge longing to include the other as a part of yourself if this longing to include the other as a part of oneself when it finds an emotional expression we are calling this love if this longing to include the other as a part of yourself finds a basic physical expression we call this X if this finds a mental expression it gets labeled as greed ambition whatever all these are just efforts to include something else as a part of yourself isn't it that which is not you right now you want it to become you this is a longing of love so it is just an emotional expression of the same longing which is which a human being is constantly longing for to include something else as a himself this starts from gathering simple things around him to seeking spirituality or God the same longing to include something else as a part of himself the fundamental longing to have a larger slice of life than what you have right now that is a longing isn't it somehow the way it is is not enough you want to experience life little more than the way it is right now so this longing to include the other as a part of yourself is love emotionally how much ever you make this effort you get close to that you're almost there many moments but next moment it falls down it doesn't matter how intensely you approach it you will see you're almost there and it falls apart you're almost there it was a part so it gives you a taste of oneness but never establishes you there so love is just a wake-up for oneness what you're longing for is that oneness emotion or love is just one more vehicle to get there but it is a vehicle which takes you close to the other bank and turns you around flows to the other bank and turns you around never lands you there so when you get sufficiently mourned by the process of love you will be ready for grace what is called as grace anything that I say will be misunderstood because what is not logical and physical cannot be put into language if we want to use an analogy gravity is one aspect of life we are sticking to the planet right now because of gravity otherwise we would be floating all over the place we have a body today only because of gravity otherwise we couldn't gather this body itself so gravity is one aspect of life which in a way is related to the fundamental instinct of self-preservation in a human being there are two basic forces within you which are constantly functioning which seem to be in conflict with most people it is not in conflict but most people see it as in conflict one is the instinct of self-preservation which compels you to build walls around yourself to protect yourself another part of you is longing to constantly expand one is trying to build walls another is trying to expand the walls of self-preservation that you build for today are the walls of self imprisonment of tomorrow is it isn't it so many limitations you establish in your life as a protection for yourself tomorrow you feel there imprison in you and you want to break it and build a bigger prison for yourself but day after tomorrow the same big prison feels like a restriction you want to break it and go to the next stage so these two longings one is to preserve yourself another is to continuously expand these two things are not opposing forces these two things are related to different aspects of who you are self-preservation needs to be limited to the physical body it's only a body which needs to be preserved everything else can be mauled and demolished and rebuilt every day every day in the morning you can actually get up and build a whole new personality if you want but right now your instinct of self-preservation in itself to the very way you think feel and understand life isn't it all the time you're trying to protect that but self-preservation should be limited only to the physical body only the body needs preservation everything else can be reshaped and recreated as you wish any moment of your life so these two forces because they're in conflict or they seem to be in conflict there is a whole problem about all these things that we need systems and systems to six big spiritual processes if only if one's instinct of self-preservation one learns to keep it just within the body and not extended to other aspects of life every human being in the planet will be naturally spiritual will naturally get to his ultimate nature only because he is restraining it because his instinctive self present preservation always tells him this is not safe that is not safe only body has to be preserved everything else is open to everything else isn't it that's how it should be but right now the way you think the way you feel your values your models your ideologies your religion all these things need to be preserved now in this there can be no expansion suddenly there seems to be a conflict so if we have to use an analogy gravity and grace let's put them as opposites gravity is trying to hold you down grace is something that is trying to lift you up this is only an analogy because grace cannot be explained that way if you are released from the physical forces of existence then grace bursts forth in your life it is not that grace has to come you know always in your calendars and pictures you saw grace is coming as a few rays of light and reaching a particular person it is not so as gravity is active grace is constantly active it is just that you have to make yourself available to it with gravity you have no choice anyway you are available to it but with grace you have to make yourself receptive and available to the forces of grace so all the work whatever kind of spiritual work you do whether you do prayer or puja or asana pranayama or whatever you do ultimately you are just working towards making yourself available to the force of grace because without grace you won't be lifted up which way you approach it depends upon what you are exposed to what kind of a person you are but whatever you are doing you just making yourself fit enough to be available to grace inner beauty if you have the right kind of ice everything is absolutely beautiful the little thing is a social factor again it's a training it depends on what kind of data has gone into your mind when you're unhappy only certain things are beautiful certain things are ugly when you're very happy you look at anything everything looks absolutely beautiful see the many ways to look at this one simple way is right now you may be identified with many things starting from your physical body to your mind to your education to your religion to your society to various things that you hold in your life but when you simply sit here if you simply sit with me right now you're just a piece of life isn't it a certain amount of life energy that's all you are isn't it so identified with many many things but fundamentally you're just a certain amount of life energy so this life energy which I which you call as myself at this moment this life energy sometimes has been very joyful has it been has it been you say yes the otherwise it's tragedy sometimes it's been utterly miserable sometimes very peaceful sometimes turmoil sometimes agony sometimes ecstasy this has happened to this isn't it so this life energy which you call as myself is capable of all these things so if this life energy is capable of all these things if you were given a choice what kind of expression your life energy should find right now in this moment what would you choose agony or ecstasy definitely ecstasy so if there was a conscious choice about how to keep your life energies right now definitely you would have kept yourself absolutely joyful and ecstatic only because a large part of you is happening unconsciously other things which you do not want are happening within you what you do not want is happening in the world you cannot stop at hundred percent only to some extent we manage these things but within you you are the only ingredient in the world there are a million things see if you want to create a situation the way we want it we need the cooperation of hundred people around us all of them will never cooperate hundred percent they will all play the game that way isn't it in any given situation even if you adjust to people in the family you cannot have the situation 100% the way you want it yes or no this is the reality with the outside but with the inside you are the only reality nobody in the world happens your way at least this one person must happen your way isn't it but right now even this person is not happening your way that's why you're asking what is the way to joy your mind is not happening the way you want it your body is not happening the way you want it your emotion is not happening the way you want it nor your life energies are happening the way you want it we need to do something about it isn't it if all these four are happening the way you want them you would definitely be joyful every moment of your life isn't it irrespective of what's happening around you so we need to explore the technology because it's a subjective technology because the ingredient is you it's about you unless we create a certain atmosphere of commitment and focus to look beyond certain things that you are identified with right now it will not be possible to explore this the reason why the spiritual sciences especially in this country which was so rich in the mystical traditions has become so ridiculous is people try to do it anywhere and everywhere without necessary committed atmospheres so the whole what we refer to as a spiritual process is just this that in your experience you create a distance between you and your physical body between you and your mind these two accumulations you learn to use them well but you don't get identified with them the moment you're not identified with these two you will not be identified with anything you can play your game whichever way you want in the world but you will not get entangled the reason why people are afraid of involvement in life you know always the so called spirituality has been talking about detachment detachment why are they talking about detachment because you're afraid of involvement you think if you get involved you will get entangled people have generally known only entanglement not involvement without involvement there is no life isn't it can you experience anything without involvement can you really experience anything whether the food that you eat are the people around you or the life around your art or music or whatever in your life can you experience it without involvement no involvement no experience isn't it where there is no involvement there is no possibility of any depth of experience in your life but people have been always telling you detachment because they're afraid of entanglement entanglement has come fundamentally because you are identified with these two accumulations which you call as body and mind because of that wherever you put your hand it sticks to you wherever you put your hand it sticks to you so people are telling keep away if you want to keep away from life you just have to follow that it's very simple no it's not my statement this is life isn't it can you know life without involvement from your experience of life you tell me where there is no involvement there is no possibility of life isn't it so if you want to stay away from life why are you trying to be alive and stay away from life just fall dead your objective is fulfilled so this whole detachment nonsense came up because people are afraid of entanglement and this possibility of entanglement has come because you are identified with something fundamental which is not you once you are identified with something that is not you everything sticks to you wherever you put your hand it gets stuck to you so because of this experience people are talking detachment fear of involvement has come but if you avoid involvement you will avoid life itself and you get yourself that is a feel of involvement you try and attach yourself to human love your own siblings or your wife or your children that you know do it with an expectation when you then you get attached with an expectation then there is going to be her involvement is very necessary I agree but yes it's not because for specific purpose to evolve or I escape and get rid of the English word in your life I yes that is the understanding that by being detached you won't get hurt so when I say fear of involvement it's just that if you're involved you could get hurt if you're involved you will not get hurt if you're in tangle you get hurt it's the entanglement which causes pain and suffering not involvement because people cannot distinguish between involvement and entanglement they don't know how to draw a line between what is involvement and what is entanglement a simple blatant solution seems to be detachment but detachment is not a solution for life it's a way of avoiding life isn't it I'm sorry yes now I am telling you what is the basis of entanglement the fundamentals of entanglement is you are identified with things that you are not the moment you are identified with something that you are not entanglement is inevitable wherever you put your hand it will stick to you there is no other way if you sit here now in your experience not in your thought in your experience if it's clear-cut within you your body sits here your mind is out there what is you is away from this if distinct separation is there from this would you get entangled with anything in your life only because you're attached to this body you're entangled with this body you get entangled with everybody if you are not attached and entangled with this body you will not be entangled with anybody you can throw yourself into anybody's life with total involvement without the fear of entanglements if anybody sits with me for two minutes I am absolutely involved with their life because there is no fear of entanglement if I'm afraid if I talk to this person and get involved suppose if this person does something else tomorrow will I be hurt if this possibility is there I would hesitate to involve the symptom if there is an in there is a possibility of entanglement and pain attached to it definitely you would hesitate to involve when there is no fear of entanglement that is when you would throw yourself into everything isn't it now this is very contradictory you're talking about moving forward and always say with a distance of time everything that is all looks nice today we are talking about always if the old ways are brought in today totally into our society into your lives would you be really happy is it true that's what I'm saying why why are we why are we sticking to some values fundamentally because there is no consciousness there is no inner experience yes why why do you see if your humanity is in full flow this moment why would you need values why should I tell you B go to this person if your humanity is a fully active this moment do I have to teach you please be nice to this man don't kill him should I do I have to tell you only because you are identified with something and just suppress the basic Humanity in you now we have to tell you please don't kill this man be good to this man okay he is some other some other Creed but please be good to him this kind of teaching is necessary simply because we have suppressed the basic nature within us if your Humanity is in full flow at that moment nobody has to tell you what is good and what's wrong wrong anyway you will be fine see all values and morality have come into the social sphere only because the inner dimensions have not found full flowering because the interior tear of a human being does not find full expression somehow it is suppressed by various means that is when we have to teach people what is right what is wrong what is okay what is not okay now the whole process of whatever Rumi is about whatever spiritual process is about what we call as yoga is about is just this the word yoga means union union between what and what now this whole idea of the individual and the rest me and the other this fundamental experience of right now me and the other is the basis of all the conflict in the existence isn't it so there is something called as me there is something gone to the other which is the basis of all conflict this me and the other can get extended to groups of people in communities nations and various types but fundamentally me and other is the basis of conflict in the universe is it so so what is me what is not me right now right now what are the things which you call as myself your thoughts your emotions your body your ideas your philosophies this is what you call as me isn't it all these things you accumulated from outside it's not you if your experiences if your experience of life transcended the limited accumulations that you have made in your life in the form of body in the form of thought in the form of emotion and ideologies and philosophies and values then there is no such thing as me and you and there would be no conflict so the whole aspect of yoga or spiritual process or whatever room is outpouring in a very passionate way is is to bring about this experience that if you sit here there is no such thing as you and me it's all being or all you for one moment right now for one moment if you experience all these people who are sitting here really as a part of yourself after that do I have to teach you morals and values be good to this person don't harm this person don't kill this person would it be necessary for you would it be necessary for you come only because you have created a false sense of identity about yourself now we have to teach values and values at no time in the history of humanity all the people have had the same values always one person's values in the person sitting next the values are different never in the history of humanity how all the people had the same values is it so is it so bad now that is fine now easy to reality that never in the history of humanity even within a family of two people two people don't share exactly hundred percent the same values is it true so if I stand by my values and you stand by your values conflict is inevitable this is the basis of conflict say see all this will help as long as you the cool situation doesn't go into your corner you can dialogue as long as it's not gone into your corner when the situation gets really pushed into your corner and your values are really threatened you will become violent when what you believe in is threatened you will become violent isn't it true that we will see first I want you to see this the basis of conflict in the world is your values because you have one kind of value somebody has somebody see right now the conflict in the world is not between good and bad one man's belief versus another man's belief isn't it so so these are the values the values are different and people are constantly fighting so if you want to go beyond this if you want to live here without values then your consciousness has to flower your humanity has to find full expression if you begin to experience even for a single moment in your life if you start experiencing this people how we experience the ten fingers of your hand after that I will I don't have to teach you any values or morality about anybody that which you have known as yourself with that you have no conflict isn't it the conflict is always with the other say you being a good human being or a bad human being is only a social reality for yourself for yourself you just have to know whether you're really human not know because what is it see see what is it that we consider is human if we look at the physical body we are just animal isn't it this is just biology like any other animal form so what is it that makes us human somewhere somewhere within us there is a certain sense of discretion and discrimination which is not there for the animal so are you exercising this discretion in every moment of your life or no this is what makes you 100% human being or a part human being part animal if you look at yourself right now sometimes the outside situations decide what kind of person you are is it someone outside of you right now one person in front of you acts nasty you will act nastier than him some but not necessarily an example okay somebody gets angry with you you get angry with him sometimes your chemistry takes over sometimes you hormone takes over something else takes over so many fortunes are ruling you in a compulsive way these moments you are not really a human being you are many things in human form there are certain moments when you're very conscious when you're fully aware of what you're doing only those moments you function to less human being if you were fully aware and conscious of what you're doing at this moment the way you function in this and within yourself would be very very different is it if you are very consciously creating every process of life within you you would definitely make yourself into your very blissful and ecstatic being whenever you are a very whenever you are in a state where you're very happy and joyful you are a wonderful person for everybody around you isn't it - it's just that when they happen to meet you when you're not so happy that's when they see the other sides of you is it so those moments you're conscious definitely you will not create any kind of unpleasantness within you when you are not unpleasant within you you are incapable of being unpleasant to somebody else when some unpleasantness is happening within you knowingly or unknowingly with good intentions or bad intentions you will rub this unpleasantness on other people so good intentions and your thinking your good is not sufficient to make life beautiful you have to become a truly blissful being only then you will be pleasant to everything around you not otherwise if you are joyful by your own nature not because of what's happening around you then if you really want to tag of a good human being you can take it but I would say it's better you're a joyful human being not a good human being because the moment you say something is good essentially you have to make something else bad isn't it otherwise how no no see the very the very idea of goodness is coming because we consider something else is bad isn't it the more good I think I am the more I will think all these people are not okay please please look at the fundamentals of goodness how does it know it is very relative see someone who thinks he's very good in his mind nobody in the world will be okay if nobody in the world is okay it is not a good question of goodness it's a question of sickness see right now the idea of goodness when you use the word good it has it cannot exist without the opposite of bad it cannot exist it doesn't matter how much you try to play it up how much makeup you apply in the bed and say we will accept the bad also the idea of goodness has come from considering something else is bad the more and more you get identified with what you call as goodness the more and more you will resist what you call as bad in this resistance the moment you say I am good you have divided the world into two the moment you divide the world into two there is no question of inclusion there is a certain exclusion isn't I'm sorry mm-hmm mm-hmm say because you have seen rotten apples too okay if you had never seen a rotten apple II would just say it's an apple you wouldn't say it's a good Apple I am NOT saying that see only because there is a rotten apple which you consider as bad a rotten apple is not a bad apple a rotten apple is feeling other kinds of organisms okay what you call as a good Apple tastes good in your mouth rotten apple is tasting very good for some other organism that's why it is rotten somebody else who this Apple only one human being eats that Apple and million organisms are eating so your idea of a bad apple is a rotten apple simply because somebody else is eating it it's bad for you it is not a bad apple it is just being eaten by somebody else with whom you don't identify who are microorganisms see from where to help you jump yes definitely otherwise how do I tell you what time to come for dinner we all become timeless how to invite you for dinner tell me we don't have to be slaves it's the device that we used for our convenience see if you don't divide this day into 24 hours would you know when to come here for dinner it's a convenience where is a question of enslavement do you make um when you're hungry but then maybe don't know dinner when you come you may not feel hungry till one o'clock in the morning that doesn't mean it's it in a time here see any convenience any convenience that we create for yourself time or money or a car or on a technology that we created for our convenience out of our unawareness out of our unawareness we get enslaved to it there is nothing wrong with the device that we created there's nothing wrong with the car there's nothing wrong with the money there's nothing wrong with the time you got enslaved to it out of your unawareness that's the problem isn't it time is not the problem money is not the problem car is not the problem any other technology is not the problem you got enslaved to it that is the problem enslavement happened because you run away so you're on awareness is the problem so how to become aware what is this awareness awareness is in many different levels one can what you are aware of is all that exists for you this must be understood right now you're sitting here don't turn back and see right now there is a huge dinosaur standing behind you you are not aware of it does it exist for you no so it doesn't matter such a huge animal is standing there you are not aware of it so it doesn't exist for you so only what you are aware of exists for you right now your awareness is limited to small aspect of your life whole aspect of spirituality means to become of aware of everything that you are so that before you go you know life you experience life in its totality to live totally to live and to live totally that spirituality so that you know life in all dimensions you don't go just knowing a little part of your life you want to know all of it so if you want to know all of it how if we have to use an analogy let's let's say we turn down the voltage for the now let's say just one light is there it just lights up only that much only that much we see if you turn up the voltage suddenly you're able to see much more because the light has spread so awareness is just like this right now your energy is your body your emotion your mind everything is functioning a certain limited voltage you crank up the voltage suddenly you start seeing so many things which are not in your experience till that moment so in a way to put it very simply to put it technically you need to turn up your altijd the voltage life voltage within you today as you were saying see who doesn't want to sleep because she wants to live if you don't want to sleep I don't want to sleep will not take away sleep you turn up your voltage suddenly no sleep you can turn up your voltage simply with your enthusiasm but that will not take you all the way there are other kinds of technologies to turn up your old gate in a certain way where all the time your heart see within myself right now I am absolutely drunk not with alcohol okay I never touched it I'm totally drunk within myself am i balanced enough and logical enough to handle any situation yes so all the time I am fully drunk on one level another level I'm perfectly saying if I want to flip any moment I'll flip if you are like this inside you are fully charged outside your control this is what is needed in your life if you want to experience life in its totality you a try to exercise control over your life and you started putting this control over your very process of life so life is happening like a trickle life within you should happen like a huge explosion but outside it is fully controlled you will see initially when you go into your face like this even the outside tends to happen like an explosion for some time but within a limited period of time you will gather control over it outside is control inside in an explosion that's how it should be every moment of your life within you life should be an absolute an explosion outside of you it is properly controlled when it's like this you will get to use your physical body your mind your emotion everything that you have to its fullest extent things that you never thought you are capable of suddenly you start doing simply because your old age is full now once you know the important of the self the other doesn't exist everything itself when everything is self everything is absolutely important there is nothing in the existence which is not important you it's not for you to decide what's important and what's not important because even if you look at a blade of grass whoever created this definitely did not create it without necessary attention whatever attention has gone into this one the same level of attention definitely has gone into even a little insect visited some not being created carelessly so if the Creator whatever is creating this things it is important what's your business to think something is important not important every damn thing in the existence is important because creator thinks it's important he's paid enormous attention to it it must be important isn't it and when you experience everything as you everything is very important because you are important isn't it see the seat of your experience in this world is you it is yourself your very basis of your experience is you so without you there is no life making the other important is not the point it is just making the other as yourself or making yourself as the other that transforms everything now I know it's always been understood or misunderstood that if you walk the spiritual path first thing is leaving your husband or leave your wife yes if it's here spirituality is a good excuse honorable excuse to walk out of your marriage instead of going through a simple diverse if you take sannyas you know it helps socially but what is spiritual is something that you do within yourself not what you do outside of your whether you live in a cave or you live in a palace or you live in marriage or you live as a monk these are arrangements that you make according to your requirement but spiritual process is always the inward not of what you do outside what kind of clothes you wear what kind of life you live is nothing to do with your spirituality the way you are within yourself is your spirituality thank you very much for being here I would like to take this opportunity we have a full-fledged Center about 35 kilometres from Coimbatore in the rainforest it's an extremely beautiful place I didn't make it that way the mountains were there before me the forest was there before me so we have created a very powerful Center powerful when I say is something that you have to experience it's a very powerful space the whole space has been consecrated for once transformation that just entering the space is a different experience for people the way it is done everything is 100% volunteer force the whole Asia activities 100% volunteer every one of them who is working for it there are over quarter million registered volunteers and over 700 full-time volunteers in the foundation who are doing a wonderful miraculous jump I'm not saying wonderful because of the volume of work the volume doesn't mean much to me but the way it's being done but what kind of love and involvement people are doing things on everyday life is so fantastic I don't pass a single day in my life without seeing tears of love and joy around me I don't think I man can have any better fortune I want you to come and experience this fortune some day please
