Sadhguru Talks About Importance of Being Alone and Being Silent | Mystics Of India

if one knows if one enjoys being alone it means they are definitely better organized psychologically emotionally far better organized than others one of the important processes of spiritual sadhana we give the tools that we offer is always to go into silence [Music] so [Music] personally i've spent a lot of time by myself in the jungles of southern india in the himalayas now every year i spend time in tibet these days it's very difficult for me to be alone with people all the time and do you like that is that something that you you now seek at that time alone i'm at my best when i'm alone and why is that why do you think that is because i don't mess with myself people sit by themselves and mess with themselves and make a mess out of themselves if they stay alone they'll go crazy a whole lot of people if one knows if one enjoys being alone it means they are definitely better organized psychologically emotionally far better organized than others one of the one of the important processes of uh spiritual sadhana we give the tools that we offer is always to go into silence people go into silence for from three days to three years four years like this people go on silence not saying a word to anybody well in today's world where if they're having breakfast they must take a picture of the breakfast i'm having breakfast if i'm going to the toilet i'm going to the toilet and when this is the world to just shut up and sit in one place takes a lot initially it looks like a struggle but once you really taste what it is you can't be without it you just can't be without it so it's like this if i shut myself up once in a way from everything around me because otherwise i'm seven days of the week 365 days 20 22 hours a day i'm on on on so if i set myself i don't read anything i don't watch television i don't use the phone i don't even look out of the window because there is a phenomena of life within you which is far bigger than all the entertainment you have because most people are only living with their psychological drama of their own thought and emotion they get bored they want to do something else they want interaction but if you engage with the basic phenomena that you are are you are you alive i'm just asking hello no no please look at this please look at this in 24 hours time how many moments are you really life most of the time you're just a bundle of thoughts emotions ideas opinions ideologies prejudices something something other than life if you if i just said that for five days i don't have a single thought in my mind i simply sit they are the best times if i do that once next few years non-stop no vacation no holiday no weekly holiday no nothing we just go on and on and on because once you touch the source of your life the way the surface functions is almost people people around me think i'm superhuman no this is not about being superhuman this is about realizing being human is super it it is not for nothing it is not for nothing that we are the peak of evolution on this planet hello are we we are the peak of evolution on this planet it's to make you the way you are it took millions of years of work nature has worked millions of years to get you to this level but now all must be human beings can do is complain this is a product which is arrived at after phenomenal development over a few million years but now you're complaining about how it is because you not explored the full depth and dimension of what a human being is a human being is not just a bundle of thoughts and emotions like you're not just body there's something more to this body you accumulated what you call as my mind is an accumulation of impressions this is a heap of food that is a heap of impressions between these two heaps where the hell are you yes where are you it's time everybody pays some attention because this life is not for good since you came and sat here you are 45 minutes closer to your grave [Laughter] yes i am not a certain thought i am not wishing this on you this is the nature of our life this is not clock ticking away it's our life ticking away isn't it most people think other people die you know no no you and me will die if you understand if you understand that this is a limited amount of time and energy you would see how to master this in some way do whatever you want you can't stop one minute from rolling isn't it hello whoever you may be can you stop it no it's rolling away for all of us at the same pace well how quickly how rapidly or how slowly simply depends on how joyful or how miserable you are if you are have you noticed this on a specific day you were very happy 24 hours poof went off like a moment another day you were depressed 24 hours feel like a yawn yes or no so only miserable people can have a truly long life if you're really joyful if you're very joyful before you know what's happening it gets over for the possibilities that a human being has come with if you live to be hundred it's really nothing 100 is not a long life 100 is nothing if you're really ecstatic it'll just pass away like this in no time if you're miserable every day feels like 100 years so time is a very relative experience but the only thing that you can master is your energies energetically if you are at a certain level of intensity what somebody does in 10 years you will do in one year because of this the impact and the profoundness of your experience in terms of experience the profoundness of experience in terms of activity and impact in the world it may be like 1000 years though you lived only 100 years simply because you have multiplied yourself but time is limited tamil people you know some tamil words now i'm going to study i'm i'm going to google you with tamil like you chewed fat with me yeah you've got me come on hit me hit me with something in tamil language this is very well said when somebody dies we don't say he died we say kaalamaitang that means his time got over perfect it's a perfect description time got over that's all that happened time is getting over even now isn't it so how young you are how healthy you are how wonderful you are it doesn't matter time is getting over if you're conscious that you're mortal and it's a limited amount of time naturally you would tweak up your energies to such a level that time would be enhanced for you otherwise if you think you're here forever you think you're an eternal being then you have time for all kinds of rubbish that you don't care for if you knew it is very limited you wouldn't do one thing that doesn't matter to you isn't it hello would you have if you really knew see every day nearly quarter million people die on this planet just by natural process and you think those people are all thinking tomorrow morning i will die hello you think so no a lot of people were going to their office somebody was going home somebody had all kinds of dreams young people old people all sorts of people die every day in the world if you knew that it is possible it's not my wish i will bless you with a long life but it's possible tomorrow morning you and me could be dead isn't it hello possible or no is not our wish possible or no if you know it is possible that it is possible tomorrow morning i could be dead would you have time to quarrel with somebody would you have time to bicker with someone else do some nonsense that doesn't matter to you you do only what truly truly matters to you if every moment of your life if you're doing what really really matters to you you will live a wonderful life [Music] beautifully said [Music] [Applause]
