As we go from day to day, working, living and trying to survive in this world, we thought this is what life is all about- till we drop death. At the same time, praying and hoping that God be kind with us, that our life will be smooth, painless. This fear of living has put an end to our spiritual freedom, a sense of trying new and experience total living.
When I first met Sadhguru, my life was going 90 miles per hour, everything was on a fast, faster pace. Judging from outside, I seemed doing pretty good, I owned fancy cars, expensive properties just like every one else does. But something was very wrong within, I was dying quickly inside and full of stress and fear of life. The more I possess, the more empty I became. Is this survival-ship? I think not. It was more than survival, it was out of control, it was sufferings at its best. I was out of sync with life.
Not until I tuned in the dimension of spirituality have I got a chance to step back and see what was happening with my life, I regained the strength and courage to take back the control of my life. This time, with help of my guru and I have never felt alone any more.
Today, I am going even faster speed every day, however, I am at ease, at peace. The same hectic daily schedule which almost broke me before, has become a stepping stone to my freedom. What a beautiful transformation, what a beautiful life, what a beautiful guru that we have.
Yoga means union with the existence, breaking the cycle of compulsion. If it is worked at every day, slowly you can see a certain level of freedom happening within you. -Sadhguru
I love this. So beautifully articulated. I have had a very similar experience on this path with Sadhguru and Isha Yoga.
