Description

What does it take to live in well being? To be in an abiding state of health, peace, love? In his first-ever self-help book, Sadhguru, a profound mystic of our times, offers his characteristically pragmatic wisdom for a life of joy and fulfilment. Don t route your joy through heaven, he says. Access happiness for yourself right here, right now. Starting with three basic dimensions of the self Body, Mind and Energy Sadhguru introduces us to simple techniques to realign and transform them into a life of sparkling aliveness. From the ideal approach to food and sleep to the profound secrets of the human spine, from the role of sex and desire to the deepest meaning of love and morality, from the significance of physical postures and psychological attitudes to the notion of authentic spiritual illumination this book guides us on all this and more. Also read The Body and The Energy from 'Three Truths of Well Being'.

MIND
Clown as Gymnast
Once the space between you and the activity of the mind grows, the mind is no more a mess. It is a great symphony; it is a tremendous possibility.
In recent times, much work has gone into studying the activity of the mind, or more specifically, the brain. If you look at the way the neurons are firing in the brain, there is a tremendous cohesiveness in this activity. It is this cohesiveness which translates into the efficient functioning of the body. A billion things are happening in the body right now because of the extremely coordinated dance of neurons.
But the mind, in most people s experience, has unfortunately become a mess - a circus. A circus is actually a very coordinated activity, deliberately made to look like a mess. Even the clown in the circus is a gymnast. He is hugely talented and coordinated in what he does, but he is made to look like a clown.
How we conduct this circus is the whole point. Why has the mind - which is the most miraculous possibility in our lives - also become a misery-manufacturing machine?
Let us look at it this way. When do you feel well? When you are happy and joyful, isn t it? Even if you are medically ill, when you are joyful, you still feel well. So, well being essentially means that you are feeling pleasant within yourself. If your body feels pleasant, we call this health; if it becomes very pleasant, we call this pleasure. If your mind feels pleasant, we call this peace; if it becomes very pleasant, we call this joy. If your emotions feel pleasant, we call this love; if they become very pleasant, we call this compassion. If your life energies become pleasant, we call this bliss; if they become very pleasant, we call this ecstasy. This is all that every human being is seeking, isn t it?
If I meet you when you are feeling very pleasant, you are a wonderful and generous human being. This is true of every person. But if I happen to meet you when you are miserable or frustrated, you are invariably nasty. When you are feeling very pleasant within yourself, you express pleasantness. When you are feeling unpleasant within yourself, you express unpleasantness. What you want for your neighbour may be debatable, but what you want for yourself is the highest level of pleasantness, always!
So, essentially every human being is seeking pleasantness, within and without. When it comes to the outside, there are a million ingredients. Nobody has complete mastery over them. We can manage the outside situations. But we can create them only to some extent. Neither in the family, nor in work, nor in the larger world can you ever have situations hundred per cent the way you want. If it happens your way fifty-one per cent, you are doing great; you have the controlling stake. But when it comes to the inner situation, there is only one ingredient: you . At least you must happen the way you want. The world not happening your way is not the problem. If you were happening the way you wanted, you wouldn t cause misery to yourself, for sure. You would simply envision and create higher states of pleasantness within yourself.
Why is it that I am not the way I want myself to be? Simply because the fundamental faculties within you are not taking instructions from you.
Once this happened. A lady went to sleep. In her sleep she had a dream. In her dream she saw a hunk of a man staring at her. He started coming closer and closer. She could even feel his breath. She trembled not in fear. And then she asked, What will you do to me?
The man replied, Well lady, it s your dream!
What is happening in your mind is your bloody dream, isn t it? Now, the problem is not that life is not happening the way you want it; even your dream is not happening the way you want it!

Every kind of misery that human beings are going through is manufactured in their mind.
Right now the main problem is that your own mind is not working the way you want it. We are hoping the outside situation will fix it for us, but these things have to be fixed from within. Both joy and misery come from within you; they never rain upon you from the outside. It just depends on the way you react to external stimuli. Instead of acting from within, you are reacting to outside situations, and hence unpleasantness wells up within you. Every kind of misery that human beings are going through is manufactured in their mind.
The whole system of yoga is just a technology to create a distinction between you and your mind. Once the space between you and the activity of the mind grows, the mind is no more a mess. It is a great symphony, a tremendous possibility, which can take you to great heights.
Yoga means to move towards an experiential reality where one knows the ultimate nature of existence, the very way that it is made. Yoga refers to union as an experience, not as an idea, philosophy, or concept that you imbibe. As an intellectual idea, if you vouch for the oneness of the universe, it may make you popular at a tea party, or give you a certain social status. You may even get a Nobel Prize.
