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 Mind from 'Three Truths of Well Being'.

ENERGY
And Now, Yoga
Your life energies constantly want to expand and become infinite; they do not know any other goal.
Almost every human being is in a state of insufficiency. No matter who you are, or what you have achieved, you still want to be something more than what you are right now.
This is the process of desiring. Your desire is not about anything in particular; it is about expanding. With any amount of expansion it is not going to settle; it is always seeking to become unbounded. When this longing for expansion finds an unconscious expression, we call this greed, conquest, ambition. When it finds a conscious expression, we call it yoga.
That is why when Patanjali wrote the Yoga Sutras , he started in a strange way. The first chapter of the Yoga Sutras starts with the line, And now, Yoga. Half a sentence. Such a great document on life starts with half a sentence.
If you still believe that if you find a new girlfriend, or if you get a raise, or if you buy a new house or a new car that everything will be okay in your life - then it is not yet time for yoga. Once you have seen all those things and you know it is not enough - now, yoga.
Yoga means you have transcended the differentiating nature of your intellect and experienced the oneness of existence. If you burst into an experience which is beyond the limitations of the physical then what is you and what is not you cannot be differentiated. Right now, you are identified with many things, but what you call myself is a certain amount of energy. Today, as we have said before, modern science is proving beyond doubt that the entire existence is the same energy, manifesting itself in a million different ways. When Einstein says E=mc 2 , he is just telling you everything is one energy. And religions have always been proclaiming that God is everywhere. Whether you say everything is one energy or you say God is everywhere , it is the same, isn t it? So the very purpose of yoga is to help you beyond the experience of physical boundaries established by your body. For one moment if you break the limitations of your physical form and experience the unity of all that is around as yourself, then the very way you exist will be different.
Spirituality is to be in perfect alignment with life. It is not somebody s idea or philosophy. It is to fall in line with the natural longing of life to expand in an unlimited way and give it a conscious expression. Spiritual practices assist this longing on the level of your body, mind and energy.
Your life energies constantly want to expand and become infinite; they do not know any other goal. Your mind may be thinking of money, your body may be longing for food, but your life energies are always longing to break the boundaries set by your physical form, longing to become infinite, boundless. There are so many methods to recognize which way our life energies want to go and consciously move in that direction.

Only if you go in the direction that your life energies want to go will you be in equanimity and harmony.
Slowly, in the process of living, for whatever reason, either out of your ego or your misery, you may stop going the way life energies are moving. And so you start thinking that you are an entity by yourself.
If you go the way your body goes, you should know that it is going straight to the grave. Whatever you know as the mind is a complex mess of all the stuff that has gone into it. The objectives of the mind are all self-created; it may seem to be fine now, but it usually takes you completely away from the process of life.
So yoga means to distinctly experience the mental and physical process, not as the basis of yourself, but as that which is caused by you. If you manage these two instruments of body and mind consciously, then your experience of life is hundred per cent your making. The content of what you refer to as mind and body has come to you from outside. All you need to do is create a distance between you and everything that you accumulated from outside.
Once it happened. Shankaran Pillai was travelling to Madanapalli by train. When he got into the train he had a huge bundle on his head. He found a seat for himself and sat down with the bundle still on his head. The people around him looked at him. They waited for some time, hoping that he would put it down, but he did not.
Then somebody enquired, Why are you carrying this bundle on your head? Why don t you put it down?
He said, No, no, no, it s all right.
They waited for some more time, and then their necks started aching. They could not bear the sight of this man sitting in a train with a huge bundle on his head. They said, See, if there is something really precious in your bundle, put it down and sit on it. That is the safer thing to do.
He said, No, nothing precious. Just clothes.
Then why are you carrying it on your head?
Oh, I don t want to burden the train.
All the garbage that you have gathered in this life comes with you. You cannot get rid of it, but you can at least put it down. The only choice you have is to create some distance from it. Use it, but do not be identified with it. If you cannot maintain this distance, your whole vision of life will be clouded. Life can be tasted, imbibed and transcended only when there is a distinction between the psychological and the existential. All one s thoughts, emotions, ideas, memories and imaginations belong to the psychological realm.
The spiritual process means a return to life. Only if you go in the direction that your life energies want to go will you be in equanimity and harmony. Only in such a stable state would you dare to explore the highest levels of exuberance and venture into the deepest mysteries of life.

Manufacturer versus Mechanic
Most people are choosing to go to the local mechanic simply because they have lost the access to the manufacturer.
If you have any problem with your body, one thing that needs to be understood is the material and the method with which this body was made. When you know the very source of creation or the manufacturer of this body, and if you need to get a repair job done, would you like to go to the manufacturer or to the local mechanic? Most people choose to go to the local mechanic simply because they have lost the access to the manufacturer.
