always a many-fold way in which people make use of the spiritual processes for
some people in many places so
spirituality and all the spiritual what will you call them what are those talks
called in Hindi religions all that provision
everything is just escaped from the mother-in-law or cooking for some it's
an intellectual entertainment for some they're seeking to learn something they
want to know something you know a few people are wanting to you know bring
about some changes in their life they want to become a little more peaceful
more loving a little more something else some change they want in their life some
people are looking for transformation you know the difference between change
and transformation transformation means nothing of the old food I mean change
means improvement self-improvement our transformation
some people just really wanting to get lasted to it dissolve into it so many
ways and people are approaching the same thing it's which is the best way
I wouldn't say which is the best way because according to each person's needs
that's how they seek you can't prescribe the best way to anybody right now
generally the human nature is such that whatever they don't have that's what
they will seek they don't have health the seeking help as if it's the ultimate
thing if they don't have money they're seeking money as if it's the ultimate
thing they don't have loud the seeking low as if it's the ultimate thing
whatever they don't have that's what they're seeking that remains this
happened when we were in Trichy you know to see there is you know Polly it's so a
medium-sized town in Tamil not in a high school the teacher came and asked the
students 8th and 9th Sumitra children if God appears in front of you and gives
you a boon what will you ask one boy said down those days you know Maruti car
I want to martica somebody he said I want a bicycle somebody said I want you
know 10 lakh rupees like this they went on then the teacher said you idiots what
will you do with all these things ask for intelligence ask for knowledge ask
for Intel why are you asking for all these things
so one boy stood up and said everybody asks for what they don't have
everybody's seeking what they don't have a simple now if you go by this when a
human being goes by this process of asking for what he doesn't have then
it's an endless process because what is it that you have what you have it so
little if you go on asking for what you don't have you need a thousand years and
still you will be nowhere if you start seeking the next thing that you don't
have it's an endless process of self defeating process isn't it it seems to
be taking you somewhere but it doesn't take you anywhere so what is this about
if you don't seek if there is no seeking you don't go anywhere you know why would
you go to any place if there's nothing to seek because that's a very basis of
your activity desiring and going after it isn't the objects of desire may
change and people may think one object is better than the other but it's not so
whether you're seeking money or more intelligence or knowledge of God or this
or that desire is a desire no the object of desire just changes the directions of
your destination but doesn't change the process of life as such and the essence
of life is in its process isn't it where you got in the end is not the point
really in many ways right now the essence of life is how you're
experiencing it right now so once quality of life if we are changing
or if you wanting to experience life in a little better way or in a much better
way whatever
changing the objects of desire is not going to make so much of a difference
it's the way we handle the process which is going to make them difference
but even if life becomes very pleasant and beautiful experience it has to
happen that every human being but even if it happens still you will see there
is something within you which doesn't want to settle for just joyful life
either you're very happy and after some time even that doesn't seem to be enough
because happiness is missing right now the whole life seems to be pursuit of
happiness if you joy then you will see it's not
enough in fact if you're very happy you will do many more things than when
you're unhappy isn't it so because now you're charged and now there's nothing
pulling you back you have all the enthusiasm to go about and do lots of
things so there is something that this life is longing for it's not a desire
it's its destination it is not something a desire that you created or I created
it is just longing to go towards a certain destination the only choice that
we have is either to move towards this destination consciously or unconsciously
anyway we are moving whether to go towards it's consciously or
unconsciously if we are dragged towards something unconsciously even if we are
dragged towards heaven we will suffer the dragging isn't it yes
now we grab you and we'll drag you out you don't know where you're being
dragged you will suffer this we will take you and put you on a beautiful
beach but that's later but right now all along from here to there you are going
to suffer it terribly isn't it so if you walk towards anything or if
life drags you towards a certain direction and you are unconscious about
it you will suffer the process immensely so if you look at it consciously if you
go towards it consciously then the process becomes beautiful that's all the
choice we have really and we once we are conscious we naturally haste in the
process whatever we are unconscious off and that level we suffer you must
understand this say right now you're driving on the street you're completely
unconscious of who is coming behind you who is coming in front of you now you
are going to get into one kind of physical suffering because you are
unaware of the physical reality physical suffering will come something
is going to break isn't it now you are unaware of what is happening
in your body another kind of suffering will come you are unaware of what's
happening in your mind another kind of suffering will come you are unaware of
what's happening in your family another kind of suffering will come
similarly wherever you are unaware that level of suffering will come to you is
it so this is holiday you're getting that series
once a pilot copilot a pilot walked into the bar the bartender knew him from long
ago he's seen him just the previous year and now he has come back after the
expedition's he looked at him and said hey what happened to you you look
terrible the porter said no I'm just feeling just
about fine
mmm the bartender said but what happened to your leg
why the wooden leg oh that we were just having a battle with another rival group
and I saw a cannonball coming straight at me before I could move it hit my
right leg and I'm doing fight quite fine with the wooden leg I'm pretty good then
the bartender said what about the hook nice of left hand you have a hook what
happened to that oh we were just having this world fight for fun and my left
hand got chopped off but I'm doing quite fine with this hawk in fact it's more
useful than the hand then he has what about the eye patch you lost one eye
what happened oh that I was just looking up at the sky and a bird poop fell into
my eyes oh come on who ever heard of anybody losing their eyes for bird poop
how would you lose your eyes for bird poop no that was the first day I had my
hawk on
whatever you are neither unaware of their you suffer this they have that
bring suffering to you so we're talking about awareness awareness awareness
awareness is not something that you do actually in fact the less you do the
more aware you become within yourself the less your activity becomes inside
what you call as me the less that becomes the more your awareness becomes
the less your personality becomes the more your presence becomes always
personality means you have to do a lot to keep it up isn't it yes most of the
activity that you're doing to keep up your person is unconscious but you're
doing enormous activity to maintain a certain personality isn't it if that
activity gets lowered suddenly awareness gets heightened because awareness is not
something that you do the very life is awareness the very basis of life is
awareness you know that you're alive only because you are aware isn't it if
all awareness disappears at least on this level we can call it death
so spirituality is not something that you do if you stop doing all your
nonsense your spiritual unnecessary nonsense if you stop spirituality is you
know it's not something that you have to do and make it happen or create it it's
not so but still why if that is so why am i doing my pranayama in the morning
Oh
even me never thought they made us do it
I'm sorry the result that's because there is no
brakes and your activity what you do within yourself you have no brakes on it
so we are creating a certain physical mental and energy situation where
everything gets diverted from your activity slowly the practice establishes
a situation where the life energies raised to a certain pitch and intensity
that slowly the activity becomes insignificant it's still dead it's still
happening you've seen the same shown your meditation you just sit activity is
still happening but it's insignificant the same activity which was so
significant has become insignificant we have not stopped it we have not done
anything to hold it down but somehow it has become not so important you see this
happening when you just sit and meditate in shown you everything is happening but
it's no more important it's lost its significance it's lost its impact upon
you it's lost its influence upon you it doesn't mouth you anymore
all the activity of the mind stops molding you you are no more being molded
by that activity this this whole distortion that we have done to life in
the form of creating our person see when you create your personality because it's
created mostly unconsciously just a small part of it may be conscious the
rest of it is all unconscious when you create you run your personality
somewhere in one way it means somewhere you thought creator has not done a good
enough job on you if it needs improvement definitely he did not do a
good enough job on you isn't it so so
why would you feel that such a grand creation is not good enough something
that so enormous and fantastic is not good enough why because in this simple
process of self preservation you know there is a simple basic process which is
built into every cell in our body every one insect animal has this we also have
it this simple process of self-preservation we don't know where to
contain it it is just split itself into everything because it split itself into
everything you have to create a small person of yourself will defend himself
all the time as we have been looking at in the program's the only thing that
needs preservation is your physical body your personality we must mall it every
day it should be okay isn't it if every day if we can make mincemeat out of your
personality you could create another one tomorrow morning isn't it isn't it so
we've been trying to do that gently because if I go very hard at it you run
away gently step by step we're trying to make mincemeat out of your personality
so that it becomes a flexible aspect you cannot live without a personality
you need one to exist here to go about in the world do our work manage things
but if it's a flexible thing that in different places as it is necessary for
the situation you can put on the right kind of personality
then it would be fine but right now it is like a rock it's it's on you all the
time anything that doesn't fit into its ambit it makes you suffer isn't it who
drew this caricature that you call as myself definitely yourself but
influenced by so many people around you you know you're 1516 you go and watch
ami Tibetan movie you come home and try to walk like him unconsciously yes isn't
it sometimes maybe consciously but most of the time unconsciously isn't
it so this caricature came into existence because of all kinds of bits
and pieces that I gathered it happens when we were in school there was a boy I
was studying with me who had a excellent hand you know he could just sketch
anybody with whatever kind of distortion he wanted
so there was one very hated geography teacher and when he entered the class
this boy had a horrible caricature of him ready on the blackboard badly
distorted but everybody can clearly recognize her with this in all kinds of
very bad distortions on him then he walked in and as usual he walks into the
class always with the temple whether he is talking about the grasslands in
America or he talks about the deserts in Africa he is always in bad temper he the
moment he saw me just one thing he was angry another thing he was somehow hit
by the whole thing the distortions then who is responsible for this terrible
atrocity as usually know everybody will suddenly interested in geography that is
to DSM then he repeated again who is responsible for this atrocity he thinks
it's an atrocity we thought it was appropriate then somebody made up their
mind and stood up and said we really don't know but it should be his parents
so for this atrocity that you call as myself it's not your parents this is you
only you can commit this atrocity of distorting yourself into such a tiny
possibility when an unbounded possibility was what you were offered
with life you were offered an unbounded possibility
you made a such a bad distortion and made yourself into such a tiny
possibility if you stop creating this caricature because this caricature
cannot exist one day without your support you need to support it all the
time what meditation means means in one way you just withdrawing the support for
your personality that's how suddenly it collapses only
the presence is there the person is no more thanks if you could walk on the
street like this if you could operate with people like this all the time that
you have no personality but looking at this person at this
moment how she is accordingly you put up a personality as it is necessary with
this person now you go to that person you put up a personality that is
necessary for that person then it would be so much fun drawing you know
caricatures every day but once you get stuck to a particular Distortion that
becomes the problem every day if you have a new distortion it's called art if
you're stuck with one distortion then it's called you're called a freak isn't
it isn't it so every day if you are able to create a new distortion that is
artwork isn't it if you have stuck with one distortion you're a cripple so
that's a big difference
Sadhguru when you're talking about personality we have to have different
personalities as a parent as a husband and a work in normal living it becomes
very difficult to change the personality you mean to set people around you won't
let you change it not wrong see right now let's say you're going to your work
Innis will take the work situation because it's less personal favor you're
going to work with a certain attitude and a certain certain person is going to
work which is you right now let's say you goes briskly
like this everything don't mean it good morning to anybody the way people say
good morning is very clear they intend to give you a bad morning so suppose you
are going like this tomorrow morning if you go really say good morning to people
and smile at them and maybe all their hand and ask a personal question talk to
them and going maybe you would waste five ten minutes going into your office
but if people around you are happy you'll have a lot of extra time on your
hands because they run around and do things better isn't it if you have
people who are sitting there with a grouse then you know they will make your
life miserable in so many ways not one way you have to live with them but these
people have the grouse against you they are going to make your life so bad isn't
it now can I change my personality every
day won't it confuse people not at all they would enjoy you most isn't it some
and will it bring down your deficiency of work definitely not it is not because
the compulsion of the situation you've gotten stuck with my personality it is
just that the whole construction of the personality has happened in an awareness
that's why you're stuck with one personality
now you said we have one kind of personality at home another the children
another with you know work and outside if you look at it it may not be true you
may be functioning in different capacities the requirement of how you
function may be different but still the basic personality may be same everywhere
the underlying personality is still the same you can change that also and it
will be so much fun for you to change that it will be absolute fun for you to
change that because you can experience a whole new person all the time after all
it's your creation so why should it be limited to just one way you God had
fixed a personality for you that's all there is but when you have built it like
you change your clothes every day in different ways isn't it but most people
cannot even change that isn't it they've gotten used to certain thing and that's
all it is isn't it so I think we should have done
something today everybody should dress in a completely different way income not
your usual kind of clothes you're wearing pants all the time today you
wear a sari income just loosen yourself up a little bit you know it's important
the reason why what is the very essence of life is missing in people's life is
because it becomes different
and spiritual people are stiffer than anybody else
they're so stiff still doesn't answer your question there can be changes in
the behavior but your personality remains the same it remains the same
that's what I'm saying you have stuck to one personality just the actions are
different because the situations are different but the person is same isn't
it so the person is same because what your personality is has become you you
are completely identified with it there is no distinction between you and your
personality isn't it you have become that the mask has gotten
stuck to your face now you can't take away the mask if this mask has to come
off we need something to loosen the glue which is gotten stuck to this it is
identity so now we are creating various situations where your identity dissolves
in a certain way meditation or any kind of yoga practice whatever it is just to
loosen the identities so that there's a little more flexibility about it maybe
the whole of it has not come off but at least you can adjust it a little bit
it's a mask being totally stuck at least licky you are able to take a breather
that much break it is giving you but if you work a little more with this you can
take it and keep it off now people when they come to advanced programs three
days or seven days there in samyama our boss banana the person that you are you
just simply forget who you are you don't know who you are it'll become like that
because the situation created is so intense and so different everything that
you know as normal is broken after sometime you don't know who is here
after the program is yo go over and you come back you just wonder is it me who
went through all that
most people can't believe that they actually went through samyama and came
simply because it's created like that the whole situation not only the
meditation process the situation also is created in such a way that it doesn't
assist your personality in any way the whole thing is to take off all the
supports because your personality cannot exist for a moment without your support
if you involve yourself in any intense activity it could loosen up a little bit
but that is Happy's art for example let's say you go and play a game those
moments of total involvement you may lose your personality but that is a
habit our way of attempting it now we are looking at how to approach it
scientifically how to dismantle them all the scaffolding that is holding it up if
you have noticed this people who are very very committed and enjoying the
process of working they always have more flexible personalities than people who
are working towards a goal is it so have you noticed this because just the
involvement with the work total involvement those moments the
personality becomes little loose but people who are working towards a goal
that they want this to happen those people have strong personalities
always the fundamental basis for your personality the building blocks for your
personalities likes and dislikes I like this I don't like this a complex system
of likes and dislikes is what your personality is isn't it so what's the
difference between you on the next person your likes and dislikes are
different isn't it now the basis of yoga is just this to help you beyond these
likes and dislikes whether we're talking responsibility or inevitability or
whatever else we are talking fundamentally it is to destroy the
process of like and dislike see existing in the world with likes and
dislikes is a very foolish way to exist but unfortunately the logical mind
thinks I'll do what I like this is my freedom the very basis of your bondage
is in your likes and dislikes but your mind makes you believe doing what you
like is your freedom isn't it all the time everywhere in the world people
believe doing what I like is freedom please look at it carefully the very
fundamental basis of your bondage is in like and dislike to operate sensibly
here even in the physical realm I'm saying even to operate with your work or
family whatever likes and dislikes make you do stupid things I like this person
I don't like this person now I cannot function from what is needed in this
moment isn't it isn't it so now I don't like this person even if this person is
doing something wonderful I cannot see it anymore do you see this happening to
yourself I like this person even if they are doing terrible things I cannot see
it anymore isn't it so because the moment you get
trapped in this like and dislike you have no discretion you lost your
disposition your intelligence is forsaken your awareness is simply
impossible once you try get trapped in likes and dislikes the moment you say I
like this getting identified with it is very normal it's a natural process you
don't have to say I'm going to identify with this lightbulb if you just say I
like this lightbulb you get identified with it the process will just happen see
life is set up in such a way for you so that life happens automatically you just
have to sit here and enjoy the bounty of life but now the problem is we are
setting this forth in a wrong direction so it is creating suffering
suppose if you do all in your hands you have to like it you have to get involved
with it it's everything is yours it would be a terrible effort to live isn't
it now it's all set up well you know the whole software is so well set up if you
just say I like this getting involved in it get dreaming about it this that that
everything just happens by itself isn't it everything that is necessary to take
you in that direction just happens is it it so so this is just life assisting you
but it has no discretion if you like hell it will take you to help it happen
once
mm-hmm what do you call a person who hires people in a corporation or
whatever HR the heads are directed in a corporation died and went to heaven the
Saint Peter said see because you are the first HR person to come to heaven
we will give you a choice if you want you can stay in heaven because you got
the passport but before you go to heaven if you want you can have a view of Hell
if you wish to say that you can also stay there this is a lady hits her purse
and she says no why would I want to go to hell I want to go to heaven he said
why wouldn't you want to have a look at it said okay she got in the elevator
when dreaming down then the elevator doors opened and it opened into your
beautiful garden on the poolside very beautiful people are swimming you know
sunbathing and it's a wonderful golf course and then a nice Clubhouse
the works you know this is great hell
she had a view of that and then Saint Peter said okay you have a view of
heaven then you choose then she got in the elevator apeman's up supposed to be
down and up okay
that's a direction unless you better know now we are down there to open the
doors and then she saw lots of clouds people just floating in the clouds
playing harp and you know she said okay this is also fine but I think I'll go to
hell all my friends have there's this golf I'll go
so they put on in the elevator she just went down
and again the doors open the harsh desert everybody all dried up without
food in terrible condition everything
she said what is this last time when I came there was a garden there was a pool
there was a golf course what happened
so they said that was just the first day you know now your staff
that was the interview now your staff
all your life you did this to people
your personality I don't know if you're working in places at least if your head
job nobody hit you especially if you hit channel maybe you also you're supposed
to size up a person you know somebody new walks into your office
you're supposed to size them up where they will fit into this whole machine of
an organization so if you're willing to look people's personalities are always
hanging out you know they need not say anything they need not do anything if
you just look at them properly the very way they stand sit you don't need any
great yogic intuition simply a simple observation of a person the very way
this time the way they hold their hands this the way they smile the way they do
things their personality is just hanging out of them so it's so obvious to
everybody except yourself
you
