Life is a choice not a gift

yesterday's Sathsang, Sadhguru talked about life is a choice not a gift, we should not take life for granted. He went on talking about if you are conscious enough about existence, you will notice existence. Existence will let you know if you are likable or not. When it does, you are going through life lightly. If not, whatever you do, your work, family, people around you seemed giving you a lot of resistance.

I first noticed this last winter beginning of the spring this year, as I was making friends with this tree or two in the park, then this rock, I was deeply in conversation with them sometimes and they in turn answered my questions about life, also giving me smiles every time we met. Since then, birds will come near to say hi, every thing around me showed me life except some human beings, they looked at me strangely if you know what I mean.

Every moment we are making choices, what to eat, to do, whether go to work or doing practice. To love or to hate, to get even or run away. Consciousness is a choice and we need to make this consciousness part of our daily life, otherwise life goes on with you or without you, it is our choice.

"life is a choice, not a gift"- Sadhguru

  1. Dear Tai, I loved reading every word of your expression. I can connect and associate so much of your feelings and "relationship" with the nature around you! I have noticed this in my own backyard, the fruit trees are giving us abundant fruits since we have moved in, and have been visiting them often. This truth of nature is so subtle that most people are not able to notice. Best wishes- Dave

  3. Life is a process of peeling away layers to uncover our true nature... we are ONE with nature and the Universe. I appreciate your sharing your experience with us, Tai... very beautiful.
    On the path...
