Questioner You spoke about becoming a salt doll
and plunging into the ocean but what is that state like when you are a salt doll
but you have not yet plunged, what is… like can you describe that state what it is?
Sadhguru: Aah, can somebody run to the kitchen and get a spoon-full of salt,
put it in his mouth, he will know how it feels.
Salt is good only if in a small quantity it mixes with something, only if it mixes.
If you found this big ball of salt in your sambar… if it mixes then only it's good.
It's merged, if not with the samundar [Ocean] at least with sambar;
only when it merges with something, it is good.
If it sticks out, salt is bad, you know.
So that's how life will feel, if you stick out, that's how it feels.
Most people on this planet do not know a moment of absolute ease,
forget about blissfulness, forget about ecstasy, forget about anything else, they do not know
what is ease.
It's the most basic thing; lot of other creatures know this.
You see, a dog has eaten well, okay totally at ease.
Human beings do not know what is ease; most people do not know what is ease.
That's why they have so much disease.
Yes.
To simply be able to sit here, just to simply sit –
no, it's going on all the time.
So that's how life will be because you're too full of salt.
You know these terms are used in so many different ways.
When we say salt, it's the essence in a way.
If you say 'salt of the earth' it means the essence of it you've taken.
So when we say you are a salt doll or if you become one, it is the essence.
The essence of your personality right now is just
your ideas, your emotions, your opinions, a bundle of prejudices that you carry;
this is what the essence of your personality and this may be hugely fired by the karmic
influence.
Memory, this is what makes you who you are.
So this is your salt.
The essence of your personality is just what you remember of yesterday or the previous
moment.
We just wipe out your memory, from all levels, not just from your mind,
including your body, if you wipe out all memory, there will be no such thing as a person anywhere.
If there is no person there is just life.
If there is just life, if you sit here, just as a piece of life, you will throb as
life.
If you throb as life, you will instantly experience that life is
happening in tandem with the whole Existence, never separately because it cannot exist separately
and never ever has it happened separately, always one with everything.
It is only your personality which is happening separately.
That is the salt - your ideas, your opinions, your philosophies, your ideologies –
when you complicate your ideas it becomes an ideology,
your emotions, which are just another expression of the same thing,
your prejudices – another expression of the same thing.
Essentially you are investing in your memory or essentially you invest in that which is
dead.
You are an undertaker.
Your business is with the dead.
All the time your life is about what is over.
Everything that you are is about what is already over.
So because you are an undertaker, you will live in a certain jumpy condition.
Sadhguru: It once happened, Shankaran Pillai went to New York City,
got into a taxi and the taxi driver was driving to a certain
destination.
Being an Indian who has just landed in America, he wants to talk to everybody;
after all we are Indians.
So taxi driver he started talking, talking, talking
and then taxi driver also opened up.
And then, when the destination came nearby, he wanted him to stop.
So he put his hand in that small opening and touched him on the shoulder,
'I want to stop here.'
The taxi driver jumped out of his skin and lost control over the car
and went and hit a tree and went up the tree and stopped like this.
(Gestures) And Shankaran Pillai had a bleeding nose
and he said, 'What?
What did I do?
Why did you just jump like this?
I just wanted you to stop.'
He said, 'You don't understand,
last thirty two years I've been driving a hearse; (Few laugh)
never ever, my customers ever (Laughter) did this.'
(Laughs) that is you know he's been working for an
undertaker.
So his customers are always dead and today when the customer touches him on
the shoulder, phoo
he lost it.
And most human beings are living like this, they are jumpy about everything;
they are jumpy about everything because they are living with the dead.
If you live with yesterday, you are living with the dead.
Please understand, look at this carefully.
Everything that you are, your personality is crafted
from that which is dead.
Your eyes are colored with that which is dead; from what happened yesterday, you look at
everybody.
So you are living with the dead and in case something alive happens, you will
be jumpy, you'll jump out of your skin.
(Laughs) You will see (Laughs) ..
when we initiate people, something comes alive little bit,
people are jumpy what's happening.
You are coming alive (Laughs), you've been dead for a long time.
This is called raising the dead.
(Laughter) See, how to address the larger issues of my
life.
There are no large issues in
your life.(Laughter) What is the large issue that you're talking about?
It is just about what job to take?
Which girl to marry?
Where to go for vacation?
Where the whether to get married or not get married?
You know these are the things, isn't it?
These are not large issues, these are little things in your life, yes
or is it just a small thing whom I get married to?
I'm not saying it's a small thing but as an issue it's a small issue.
Little issue.
As a consequence to your life, yes it has many things but this is
something that human beings have done for millions of years.
We have enough experience on these things, isn't it?
(Laughs) We know that whatever job we take, whoever we marry, it is just the way we make
out of it.
Every experience of life you can make it an enriching experience, every
experience in your life you can make a curse out of it.
See there is nothing wrong in your job whatever job
you're doing.
There's nothing wrong getting this job, there's nothing
wrong in losing this job, there is nothing wrong in getting married, there's
nothing wrong in getting divorced, there is nothing wrong in not getting married,
there is nothing wrong in anything, there is nothing wrong in this or that, but it
is just that you make misery out of it that's wrong.
You do this you make misery out of it, if you do that you make misery
out of it.
That's what is wrong with you.
So you got married, is it wrong?
That's not the point.
There's nothing wrong with it.
You did not get married is it wrong?
No there's nothing wrong with it.
That's wonderful too.
You got divorced, is it wrong?
No, that's also wonderful.
It is just that you make misery out of everything that's what is wrong.
You just address that one issue everything will be settled.
That's what we are looking at.
How not to make misery out of everything?
If this one thing is settled everything is settled, isn't it?
Yes?
If you know how to walk through this world joyfully through marriage and
divorce and celibacy and everything, if you know how to walk through this
joyfully, what is the problem?
Whatever you do is beautiful, isn't it?
(Laughs) That comes next.
(Laughter) If you don't even know how to be happy, don't have such goals as a realization.
They are very far away from you.
See, you are just dismissing something very fundamental to your life with a stupid definition.
Happiness is not just a state of mind, it is just the basis of the quality
of life that you live here, isn't it?
Is it such a small thing happiness?
Oh it's just a state of mind, is it a small thing?
So biggest issue, isn't it?
[Questioner :] In your book you have written, this is the minimum thing to do in life, is
to be happy.
[Sadhguru:] Yes.
Yes.
[Questioner:] And if I do that the entire life, will I be fulfilling my life?
[Sadhguru:] No.
No, I didn't say that.
I said, if that is not possible forget realization and all that nonsense.
It's not even in your sphere, if you are capable of going through this world joyfully
then you could talk about going beyond.
If you are not even capable of going through this joyfully, talking
about beyond is no good.
There is no way.
I'm telling you.
There is simply no way.
For a person who is constantly creating in your battles
all the time, how will he deal with the bondages of life and how will he transcend
that?
There's no question, it doesn't arise in your life.
So first thing is working towards to be a blissful human being,
if that happens the rest becomes very simple because a blissful human being
once your happiness is not at stake anything that's needed you will do,
isn't it?
Right now you cannot do what's needed because always your happiness is at
stake.
You are thinking what which is the right thing to do, which is the right
thing to do.
There is no right thing to do in your life.
There is no wrong thing to do in your life.
If you know how not to make misery out of everything that you do,
whatever you are doing is the right thing.
If you are making misery out of everything that you do, everything that you
do is the wrong thing.
So that's the only issue you have to look it.
(Laughs) Others are all petty things, what does it matter which
way you do it.
