the karate kid

Wax on and wax off, do you remember the movie? I watched the movie one more time yesterday, however, I got a very different feeling this time, thanks to my own ever changing life experience.

In order to take the training to another level in such a short time, Mr. Miyagi has to use the familiar environmental setting to train young Daniel LaRusso, the karate kid, which happened to be paint the fence and wash the car, etc. Not seeing any immediate  training progress after many weeks, Daniel complained and doubted the training, until the show down of course and he was surprised to see the result first hand. All this was happening because of Mr. Miyigi.  As he has been there himself, he knows the road map.

When I first met Sadhguru, I had asked Him to help me with my spiritual growth, to be happy and peaceful. Years after practicing yoga and meditation, it seemed like not much of spiritual progress was happening, on top of that, my physical world was falling apart. Wait, what happened to my peace and happiness that I was looking for many years ago?

This is why Sadhguru is so good at being a guru. He knows my shortcomings, until many of my karma were dealt with properly, then, unexpectedly during several Sathsangs, He took me for ride, a ride of life time, a dimension I have never been to nor experienced before. Yes, Daniel LaRusso was lucky to have Mr. Miyagi as Karate teacher, I am lucky to have Sadhguru in this life time as my guru.

"The job of a guru is not to interpret the scriptures but to take you to another dimension of life"- Sadhguru
