spot on !

[@thusharitalpahewa5697]

Words aren't sufficient to express the deep respect and love I feel for Sadhguru- the depth of his wisdom is unfathomable to me. I am greatly fascinated and mesmerised listening to him-what a blessing!!!

[@surendrarathore2680]

He is like drug for me ,i can watch his videos over n over ,wish i could meet him atleast once !!

[@helloworld3934]

Thushari Talpahewa Just what did you learn that you didn't already know? Remember, the objective is for you to gain enlightenment. If you are only fascinated and mesmerised, you will never be enlightened.

[@thusharitalpahewa5697]

I am simply expressing my gratitude and admiring Sadhguru's enchanting quality. There is a lot of things I don't know about this existence. As for enlightenment, do not worry, I have good directions and the determination ;)

[@helloworld3934]

Thushari Talpahewa My question was, what did you learn from this video that you didn't already know? Just mention one. And stay determined. You have to be if you are as good looking as your DP.

[@apointonacurve]

Thushari Talpahewa I call you a good person.

[@georgecarlin2879]

Sadhguru rocks ! Attended his talk at CSU Northridge Jan 17th in LA last mth!! Awesome!! :)

[@thinkyourreality1087]

That must have been awesome. I imagine his talks in person are full of a different kind of energy. Listening to motivational speakers like Tony Robbins and Les Brown is empowering, but when I listen to this man, I feel something entirely different. It's like a spiritual energy instead of physical, I guess. Hard to put into words, but it's great

[@georgecarlin2879]

Irrational Living, LLC Yes, very true. I won't mention what happened to me and my friend during his 10 min meditation just before he moved on to the Q&A session. Well, ok.. I shall. Both our 3rd eyes got opened during that time period. For me, he is the only one that has managed to do something 'for real', rather than just intellectual talk. We were in the cheap seats to boot!! :)

[@thinkyourreality1087]

That's so great. There are very few people who resonate with me on that level. I'm sure that's something you'll never forget!

There are billions of us at this point, and we all learn differently because we all have a unique existence and perspective regardless of our oneness, our unity. Understanding this after years of struggle, I'm grateful to have the capacity and willingness to change and to have innumerable and various people to show me new ideas and possibilities. To have different teachers, attempting to share the same spiritually derived meaning of life, has given me a new freedom and acceptance of who I may be and the limitnessness of my life. That it is all supported by the art of science only serves to include even more of us in the conversation. If we only had one teacher, so many of us would be left out in the cold, not connecting with the same patterns of speech, the same nuances and intonations. Reaching out to change has brought me closer to the human race as a whole, while accepting myself on a deeper level as I was born. Bring on the different teachers sharing ancient understanding in new ways with new techniques and voices. Let them rework old wisdom into more modern language allowing people to relate. It makes for a rich tapestry and leaves no one alone. History shows we tend to forget why we're all here and need constant updating anyway. :)

I have taken his online class, I have been following Sadhguru for past year and nothing but good stuff. Having said that there is no evidence on the mystic(a person who seeks by contemplation and self-surrender to obtain unity with or absorption into the Deity or the absolute, or who believes in the spiritual apprehension of truths that are beyond the intellect.). For me the jury is still out. If I say I broke my ankle and by meditation I fixed it, then lets have a demonstration. Or if I say I can become one with everything...etc.

[@indianmilitary]

Johan Flohr since when just energy or matter became "god""? If that is the case - then you should have no problem in worshiping stones or trees blindly like your pagan ancestors (So called pagans were descendants of Hindus of India who migrated to Europe but lost touch with core Hindu/Vedic philosophies before 3500 BC). According to high philosophies of Hinduism - the observed (matter or energy) cannot be perceived without the observer (Consciousness) - Hinduism's high philosophies (Dvaita/Sanhkya/Advaita) have already been validated by Double slit Quantum experiment. Every hindu/vedic ritual and deity (Brahman/Vishnu/Shiva) represent laws of nature and cosmic force. Whether it is breaking coconuts in hindu temples or cremation - all in sync with laws of nature. It is the reason why all quantum physicists from Erwin Schrodinger to Albert Einstein wanted to be cremated like Hindus. All the early German quantum physicists had access to Hindu/vedic philosophies. Hindu vedic high philosophies are nothing but quantum physics or laws of nature discovered by hindu/vedic maharishis in their higher levels of consciousness. Jeffrey Armstrong - hindu/vedic teacher - Vancouver- summarizes beautifully The Abrahamics are followers of a Religion and one book, whereas we in the Vedic culture are practitioners of Sanatana Dharma or Hinduism with a library of knowledge. We are aspiring to cooperate with Mother Nature and achieve Moksha or return to the Transcendental.- Baghavad Gita 7.19

[@stargazer7668]

Im a weird cookie,Ive never owned a cell phone or studied polatics or religion im 37 years old made it to grade 7,I only want to respect all life forms and be good as i can to others and just live and sure maybe oneday i can worship rocks,I guess if i really think to it what i would really want to worship is the earth itself the stars the planets and life itself,I am a tad scared of certain knowledge and how it will effect me,Dont get me wrong when i say i belive in all the different gods jesus,aliens,ghosts,bigfoots...I belive if we can exist anything can be true...

[@amritkaurkhalsa5345]

From Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4, Chapter 26 , Sloka 1 - 3, describes very nicely the Inner Link ; TEXTS 1-3 nārada uvāca sa ekadā maheṣvāso rathaṁ pañcāśvam āśu-gam dvīṣaṁ dvi-cakram ekākṣaṁ tri-veṇuṁ pañca-bandhuram eka-raśmy eka-damanam eka-nīḍaṁ dvi-kūbaram pañca-praharaṇaṁ sapta- varūthaṁ pañca-vikramam haimopaskaram āruhya svarṇa-varmākṣayeṣudhiḥ ekādaśa-camū-nāthaḥ pañca-prastham agād vanam SYNONYMS nāradaḥ uvāca-Nārada said; saḥ-King Purañjana; ekadā-once upon a time; mahā-iṣvāsaḥ-carrying his strong bow and arrows; ratham-chariot; pañca-aśvam-five horses; āśu-gam-going very swiftly; dvi-īṣam-two arrows; dvi-cakram-two wheels; eka-one; akṣam-axle; tri-three; veṇum-flags; pañca-five; bandhuram-obstacles; eka-one; raśmi-rope, rein; eka-one; damanam-chariot driver; eka-one; nīḍam-sitting place; dvi-two; kūbaram-posts to which the harnesses are fixed; pañca-five; praharaṇam-weapons; sapta-seven; varūtham-coverings or ingredients of the body; pañca-five; vikramam-processes; haima-golden; upaskaram-ornaments; āruhya-riding on; svarṇa-golden; varmā-armor; akṣaya-inexhaustible; iṣu-dhiḥ-quiver; ekādaśa-eleven; camū-nāthaḥ-commanders; pañca-five; prastham-destinations, objectives; agāt-went; vanam-to the forest. TRANSLATION The great sage Nārada continued: My dear King, once upon a time King Purañjana took up his great bow, and equipped with golden armor and a quiver of unlimited arrows and accompanied by eleven commanders, he sat on his chariot driven by five swift horses and went to the forest named Pañca-prastha. He took with him in that chariot two explosive arrows. The chariot itself was situated on two wheels and one revolving axle. On the chariot were three flags, one rein, one chariot driver, one sitting place, two poles to which the harness was fixed, five weapons and seven coverings. The chariot moved in five different styles, and five obstacles lay before it. All the decorations of the chariot were made of gold. PURPORT These three verses explain how the material body of the living entity is under the control of the three qualities of the external energy. The body itself is the chariot, and the living entity is the owner of the body, as explained in Bhagavad-gītā (2.13): dehino ’smin yathā dehe. The owner of the body is called the dehī, and he is situated within this body, specifically within the heart. The living entity is driven by one chariot driver. The chariot itself is made of three guṇas, three qualities of material nature, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā (18.61): yantrārūḍhāni māyayā. The word yantra means “carriage.” The body is given by material nature, and the driver of that body is Paramātmā, the Supersoul. The living entity is seated within the chariot. This is the actual position. The living entity is always being influenced by the three qualities-sattva (goodness), rajas (passion) and tamas (ignorance). This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā (7.13). Tribhir guṇamayair bhāvaiḥ: the living entity is bewildered by the three qualities of material nature. These three qualities are described in this verse as three flags. By a flag, one can come to know who the owner of the chariot is; similarly, by the influence of the three qualities of material nature, one can easily know the direction in which the chariot is moving. In other words, one who has eyes to see can understand how the body is being driven, influenced by the particular type of quality of material nature. In these three verses the activity of the living entity is described to prove how the body becomes influenced by the quality of ignorance, even when a person wants to be religious. Nārada Muni wanted to prove to King Prācīnabarhiṣat that the King was being influenced by the tamo-guṇa, the quality of ignorance, even though the King was supposed to be very religious. According to karma-kāṇḍīya, the process of fruitive activities, a person performs various sacrifices directed by the Vedas, and in all those sacrifices animal-killing, or experimenting on the life of animals to test the power of Vedic mantras, is enjoined. Animal-killing is certainly conducted under the influence of the mode of ignorance. Even though one may be religiously inclined, animal sacrifice is recommended in the śāstras, not only in the Vedas but even in the modern scriptures of other sects. These animal sacrifices are recommended in the name of religion, but actually animal sacrifice is meant for persons in the mode of ignorance. When such people kill animals, they can at least do so in the name of religion. However, when the religious system is transcendental, like the Vaiṣṇava religion, there is no place for animal sacrifice. Such a transcendental religious system is recommended by Kṛṣṇa in Bhagavad-gītā (18.66): sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ “Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear.” Because King Prācīnabarhiṣat was engaged in performing various sacrifices in which animals were killed, Nārada Muni pointed out that such sacrifices are influenced by the mode of ignorance. From the very beginning of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (1.1.2) it is said: projjhita-kaitavo ’tra. All kinds of religious systems that are involved in cheating are completely kicked out of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. In the bhagavad-dharma, the religion dealing with one’s relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, animal sacrifice is not recommended. In the performance of saṅkīrtana-yajña-Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare-there is no recommendation for animal sacrifices. In these three verses, King Purañjana’s going to the forest to kill animals is symbolic of the living entity’s being driven by the mode of ignorance and thus engaging in different activities for sense gratification. The material body itself indicates that the living entity is already influenced by the three modes of material nature and that he is driven to enjoy material resources. When the body is influenced by the mode of ignorance, its infection becomes very acute. When it is influenced by the mode of passion, the infection is at the symptomatic stage. However, when the body is influenced by the mode of goodness, the materialistic infection becomes purified. The ritualistic ceremonies recommended in religious systems are certainly on the platform of goodness, but because within this material world even the mode of goodness is sometimes polluted by the other qualities (namely passion and ignorance), a man in goodness is sometimes driven by the influence of ignorance. It is herein described that King Purañjana once went to the forest to kill animals. This means that he, the living entity, came under the influence of the mode of ignorance. The forest in which King Purañjana engaged in hunting was named Pañca-prastha. The word pañca means “five,” and this indicates the objects of the five senses. The body has five working senses, namely the hands, the legs, the tongue, the rectum and the genitals. By taking full advantage of these working senses, the body enjoys material life. The chariot is driven by five horses, which represent the five sense organs-namely the eyes, ears, nose, skin and tongue. These sense organs are very easily attracted by the sense objects. Consequently, the horses are described as moving swiftly. On the chariot King Purañjana kept two explosive weapons, which may be compared to ahaṅkāra, or false ego. This false ego is typified by two attitudes: “I am this body” (ahantā), and “Everything in my bodily relationships belongs to me” (mamatā). The two wheels of the chariot may be compared to the two moving facilities-namely sinful life and religious life. The chariot is decorated with three flags, which represent the three modes of material nature. The five kinds of obstacles, or uneven roads, represent the five kinds of air passing within the body. These are prāṇa, apāna, udāna, samāna and vyāna. The body itself is covered by seven coverings, namely skin, muscle, fat, blood, marrow, bone and semen. The living entity is covered by three subtle material elements and five gross material elements. These are actually obstacles placed before the living entity on the path of liberation from material bondage. The word raśmi (“rope”) in this verse indicates the mind. The word nīḍa is also significant, for nīḍa indicates the nest where a bird takes rest. In this case nīḍa is the heart, where the living entity is situated. The living entity sits in one place only. The causes of his bondage are two: namely lamentation and illusion. In material existence the living entity simply hankers to get something he can never get. Therefore he is in illusion. As a result of being in this illusory situation, the living entity is always lamenting. Thus lamentation and illusion are described herein as dvi-kūbara, the two posts of bondage. The living entity carries out various desires through five different processes, which indicate the working of the five working senses. The golden ornaments and dress indicate that the living entity is influenced by the quality of rajo-guṇa, passion. One who has a good deal of money or riches is especially driven by the mode of passion. Being influenced by the mode of passion, one desires so many things for enjoyment in this material world. The eleven commanders represent the ten senses and the mind. The mind is always making plans with the ten commanders to enjoy the material world. The forest named Pañca-prastha, where the King went to hunt, is the forest of the five sense objects: form, taste, sound, smell and touch. Thus in these three verses Nārada Muni describes the position of the material body and the encagement of the living entity within it. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.. NOW, the question is that is Guru Jaggi preaching the proper knowledge or the Speculative Knowledge ?
