THE SAINT OF THE SILENT REVOLUTION
WORDS OF WISDOM - III
I have already placed on this blog, some great words of wisdom from Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. The reader can find them in the following TWO Posts.
There is always an appetite for the great words of wisdom from this saint of silent revolution.
I place before the readers – a few more of these pearls of wisdom in this third Post.
We do need to ponder over them, contemplate on them, and make them a part of our life.
1. ONCE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE SOURCE OF CREATION WITHIN YOU, HEALTH AND WELL BEING WILL BE NATURAL; NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO ASTRIVE FOR.
2. IF ONLY YOU CAN GO THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES WITH AN INNER GRACE, YOU COULD SEE THAT EVERY SITUATION WE FACE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENHANCE OUR LIVES.
3. ONLY THAT PERSON WHO HAS LOST THE NEED FOR SECURITY IS REALLY SECURE.
4. GRATITUDE IS NOT AN ATTITUDE.GRATITUDE IS SOMETHING THAT FLOWSOUT OF YOU WHEN YOU ARE OVERWHELMED BY WHAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU.
5. ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE FOUND SOMETHING SO VALUABLE WITHIN YOUR SELF THAT EVERYTHING ELSE DOES NOT MEAN SO MUCH TO YOU ANY MORE, YOU CAN GIVE JOYFULLY.
6. IF YOU WANT THE DIVINE TO BECOME ALIVE WITHIN YOU, FIRST OF ALL, YOU AS A HUMAN BEING, HAVE TO BECOME ABSOLUTELY ALIVE.
7. IF YOU WANT EVERYBODY TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU, THE FIRST THING IS, YOU MUST FALL IN LOVE WITH ALL OF THEM.
8. IF YOU BECOME THE SOURCE OF JOY BY YOURSELF, YOU WILL HAVE WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIPS.
9. HARMONY IN THE WORLD WILL HAPPEN ONLY WHEN MAN IS TRULY HARMONIOUS WITHIN HIMSELF.
10. WITHOUT RAISING YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS, WHATEVER YOU DO IN THE WORLD, WILL ONLY LEAD TO MORE AND MORE SUFFERING.
11. ONLY IF YOU ARE JOYFUL, YOU CAN BE FREE FROM THE FRUIT OF ACTION.
12. INCLUSIVENSS IS NOT JUST THE FUNDAMENTAL NATURE OF THE SPIRITUAL PROCESS, BUT THE VERY BASIS AND GOAL OF LIFE ITSELF.
13. ANY METHOD YOU EMPLOY TO HEIGHTEN THE PRESENCE OF THAT WHICH IS THE SOURCE OF CREATION WITHIN YOU, IS YOGA.
14. LIFE IS AT EASE. ONLY THE MIND IS AT SOME TENSION.
15. ONE WHO IS CONSTANTLY RESTING WITHIN HIMSELF, IS CAPABLE OF ENDLESS ACTIVITY.
16. WHEN YOU LIVE FOR EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY TAKES CARE OF YOU.
17. TO LIVE IS TO GIVE AND TO GIVE IS TO LIVE.
18. BEING A YOGI MEANS THAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ONENESS OF THE EXISTENCE.
19. DHYANA IS TO TRANSCEND THE LIMITATIONS OF BODY AND MIND, TO BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE YOURSELF IN A MUCH DEEPER DIMENSION.
20. THE VERY PURPOSE OF LIFE IS TO REACH THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE FLOWERING. DHYANA OR MEDITATION IS THE PATH TO FLOWERING.

Sri VijayamohanGaru,
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for this great service. Please kindly shed some light on Sadhguru's words of wisdom specifically on the " Source of Creation ". Does he identify or indicate the Source of Creation " as the " Pragnanam " of the Upanishads, directly or indirectly. Sadhguru talks of Body, Mind, Emotions and Energy. Is the " Energy " the " Source of Creation " ? Also, Deergha.... doesnot open.
How do this body and mind go about getting acsess to the Source of Creation ? Where does Sadhguru describes this celestial journey? Please kindly give me some reference Sri VijayamohanGaru. Thank you.

Thanks for your nice comments.So far, I have refrained from INTERPRETING Sadhguru -but am just presenting what he said/did. Sadhguru's words are simple and direct. Yet, a Sadhaka or Meditator does get into doubts.It is natural.If doubt exists, search exists and answer will come.
ReplyDeleteThe search within is an extraordinary search - in the ashtanga marga of Patanjali. I am running a series on that in this Blog. The most important portion of the Yoga sutras is already over. The rest will be finished within a short time. This Yoga is one way of knowing SELF.
The Vedantic method -of Upanishads requires constant listening to an accomplished Guru, remembering his Vedantic teachings often and performing what is called Nidhidhyasanam, which is almost the same as Meditation.
If we link the Mahavakyas of Upanishads like "aham Brahmasmi", "prajnanam brahma", "thath thvam asi", and "ayam atma brahma" - they tell us the whole truth in simplest terms.This again is intellectual understanding - which is not enough. YOU ARE THAT- you must know,experience and be that-You do not become that - because you are already that.
Kindly find time to read Atma Bodha series - explained earlier in this Blog. Any way, I will cover this subject (of knowing self) again shortly from many angles - including that of Sadhguru.
