Thank You So Much for uploading this video! I was not doing what I think I have to do so I thought of building Willpower but as Sadhguru says you might get things done with willpower but at the end of the day, you will have a long successful face (which reminds me that this is what happens in the existential crisis, you wonder why are you working so much on something you don't care about, what do you really want in life). Now, I know that I can and should do things with love and devotion in heart. I should do everything in my life that I want to do. Gratitude for the wisdom! 🙏

[@srinivasans9345]

Namaskaram Sadhguru. That one should be responsible about one's life, what we do& how we execute it is in our hands is really eye-opening. Because sometimes we deceive ourselves thinking it's all because of our karma. Full of gratitude, Bhanu Srinivasan. Koti namaskaram Sadhguru

"YOUR LIFE IS YOUR KARMA"

[@mr.c2485]

Shreyas_Urs I have the power to change your karma. Is it still your life....or mine to use as I wish?

[@Siberius-]

Sad when known popular gurus think Libertarian Free Will is a thing that exists. They ditched the concept of the self, and without that, there is of course no LFW. But they just can't do it. It's a logically impossible concept, and it's observable through mindfulness... just like how they ditched the concept of the self. Very strange to see. Certainly not all of them struggle with this, but a lot do. I think they just don't have the philosophical understanding to explore the topic properly. Or something.

[@knowthyselfaum6574]

HOW MUCH OF OUR LIFE IS GOVERNED BY KARMA & HOW MUCH IS OUR FREE WILL? KARMA means work, till now whatever you did, the residual impact of that is definitely there upon your life. Yesterday's karma, you cannot change, but this moment's karma is in your hands. This moment's karma could be a karma of freedom or of bondage. IF YOU HANDLE THIS MOMENT IN A CERTAIN WAY, YOU WILL BE FREE FROM EVERYTHING THAT WAS YESTERDAY. If you do not handle it that way, yesterday will rule you today, this is also your KARMA. DO NOT UNDERSTAND KARMA AS SOME KIND OF PUNISHMENT & REWARD. It is just that EVERYTHING THAT YOU TOUCH WITH YOUR MIND, WITH YOUR EMOTION, WITH YOUR BODY, A BIT OF IT STICKS TO YOU; THE RESIDUAL ACTION IS REMAINING WITH YOU. MEMORY IS NOT JUST MENTAL MEMORY. Memory is on many different levels, it's in your body, it's in your chemistry, in your energy, in many different back-up systems. So, this memory is acting it self out. BUT THIS MOMENT IF YOU WISH TO BE CONSCIOUS, THIS MEMORY YOU CAN USE IT WHICH EVER WAY YOU WANT. (2) WHAT IS COSMIC WILL & WHAT IS FREE WILL? Is FREE WILL SAME AS COSMIC WILL. Is FREE WILL SAME AS COSMIC WILL or IS THERE ANYTHING LIKE COSMIC WHICH IS PREDESTINED? What you call as COSMIC WILL is not WILL AS YOU KNOW IT, IT HAS A CERTAIN PATTERN, HAS A CERTAIN QUALITY. That which rules the COSMOS has a certian CONSCIOUSNESS & A TENDENCY OF IT'S OWN. That is always there, that you & me right now exist is COSMIC WILL, but right now, you decided to come to SATSANG is ofcourse YOURWILL. COSMIC WILL IS NOT LIKE A DECISION. IT IS JUST THERE. It is because of cosmic will we have taken on this form, the planet is going around the sun, this is just quality of nature. Water flows from high place to low place; it is flowing according to LAWS OF GRAVITY. So, COSMIC WILL is like GRAVITATIONAL FORCE & various other aspects. IT IS JUST THERE ALWAYS, IT ONLY ACTS THAT WAY, BECAUSE THE VERY FRAMEWORK OF LIFE IS BASED ON THE COSMIC WILL, but today you decide to do this or that, that is definitely your will. COSMIC WILL HAS NO ROLE IN THIS, BUT YOU CAN USE THE COSMIC FORCE TO MAKE IT, MAKE IT YOUR WILL INTO REALITY. Gravitational force(cosmic will) is working, using that i am sitting here, otherwise i can dance, i can jump down, that is my will BUT ALL THESE THINGS CANNOT HAPPEN WITHOUT GRAVITY. That's the nearest analogy we can get there probably. So, COSMIC WILL IS ALWAYS IN PLAY, WE ARE ENJOYING IT EVERY MOMENT OF OUR LIFE OR WE ARE SUFFERING IT SOMETIMES. Gravity can make you dance, make you fall if you're not in tune with it. So that is WHERE YOUR WILL PLAYS. YOUR WILL DETERMINES & YOUR WILL IS ABLE TO USE THE COSMIC WILL. WITHOUT THAT YOUR WILL WOULDN'T EVEN EXIST. It is COSMICWILL THAT YOU MUST HAVE AS A WILL, BUT DO NOT TRY TO FULFILL YOUR LIFE THROUGH YOUR WILL because your will is empowered by thought & your thought is essentially an accumulated stuff. It is the data that you have gathered that you're reprocessing, recycling in so many different ways. Doing things with WILL POWER is OK if You are aiming for small little things. Today morning you want to get up at 5 o clock, you are doing it with will power or alarm power? If alarm rings also, you still need will power to come out of your bed. IF YOU DO THIS, YOU MAY GET TO DO THINGS, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL HAVE A LONG FACE. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO DO THIS WITH WILL POWER, YOU DO IT WITH DEVOTION, YOU DO IT WITH LOVE. I have something that i really want to do, not that i have to do this there is nothing in my life that I HAVE TO DO. Everything in my life are things THAT I WANT TO DO. So, if alarm is at 5 o clock, i get up at 4.30, because i want to do it. If you conduct your life as i HAVE TO DO IT, because that's WILL POWER 'Oh, no matter what, i must do it, i must do it!' you may get to do it, but your face will become long, miserable face, PURPOUSE IS DEFEATED, is'nt it? Because you did not enjoy it, it does not fulfill you, what is the point? SO THERE IS NO NEED TO DO THINGS TO CONDUCT YOUR LIFE WITH WILL POWER. Here & there small things, sometimes when your body is aching, on that day you need WILL POWER to push yourself a little bit, but DO NOT TRY TO CONDUCT THE LIFE PROCESS ITSELF WITH WILLPOWER because you will become a long successful face, ulcer in your stomach, success in your bag, face so long nobody wants to see it.

KARMA is not about something good or bad that you did. KARMA IS THE MEMORY OF LIFE. The word KARMA evokes different types of understanding in people’s minds. KARMA MEANS ACTION. ACTION IS ON MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS. There is physical, mental, emotional and energy action which we can call KARMA. If the action sinks deeper than these four dimensions, then we call it KRIYA. So both KARMA and KRIYA mean ACTION, but KARMA is that kind of ACTION which leaves a RESIDUAL IMPRINT or impact upon the system. This means the memory and chemistry of that action remains. KRIYA is a type of ACTION which IMPRINTS itself on a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DIMENSION and BEGINS to DISMANTLE the KARMIC RESIDUE that has ACCUMULATED in the system. KARMA is of many kinds, many different layers and many different dimensions. The actions that your father performed are working and kicking up within you in so many different ways, not just in your situation, but in every cell in your body. Many of you may have noticed that when you were eighteen or twenty, you rebelled completely against your father or mother, but by the time you were forty or forty-five, you began to behave just like them. You speak and act like them. That is a hopeless way to live because if life is going to repeat itself, if this generation is going to behave, act, live and experience life in the same way that the previous generation did, this is a wasted generation. This generation should experience life in a way that the previous generation never even imagined. Not by doing something crazy, but the way you experience life should be taken to the next level. MEMORY OF LIFE But KARMA is not just yours or your forefathers’. The first single-celled little piece of life, that bacteria or virus’ KARMA is also acting up within you today. In a normal-sized body you have approximately 10 trillion human cells. But in your body, there are over a hundred trillion bacteria - you are outnumbered one to ten! Just upon your facial skin, there are 18 billion bacteria. Aren't you glad you’re not seeing them? A significant percentage of you is actually bacteria. And the kind of bacteria that you have carries a certain behavioral pattern depending upon what kind of bacteria your forefathers had. The way the bacteria behave in your body and in some other body is very different and depends upon this memory. So you inherit even the bacteria with a certain quality. They also carry a certain karmic content and behave and make the quality of your life in a certain way. So karma is not about something good or bad that you did. Karma is the memory of life. The very way the body is structured is because there is memory of life right from that single-celled animal to every other form. It is a medical fact that within your brain, there is a reptilian brain which is almost the size of a crocodile’s brain. Now do you understand why you go snapping at everybody? All the grand ideas that you had about yourself are very false. This is why we told you, “It IS ALL MAYA,” because the way things are happening within you is such that almost everything that you do is controlled by past information. “Does that mean to say I am hopelessly entangled?” Entangled for sure, but not hopelessly. From being a Pashupata - a composite expression of animal nature - from that single-celled animal to the highest one, there is a possibility of becoming a Pashupati - one can leave all this behind and transcend. Within the human system, the basic skeleton of the system - not the orthopedic skeleton, but the energy skeleton - or the basic blueprint of energy has 112 chakras or junction points where it is held together. All these CHAKRAS FUNCTION according to the INFLUENCE of the KARMIC RESIDUE or the PAST MEMORY within the system which makes this life process happen. But there are two other chakras outside the physical framework of the body which generally remain very minimal or almost dormant in most people. But if you do enough sadhana, they become active. The 114th chakra pulsates in a certain way which has been described right from ancient times as the OUROBOROS ( The OUROBOROS or UROBORUS is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. ) - the symbol of a snake swallowing its own tail. You can see this symbol in almost every ancient culture. In India you can see it all over the temples, you can see it in Greece, Egypt and in Mesopotamian temples - almost everywhere. You can see the Ouroboros in all ancient cultures which were focused more upon the beyond than what is here. Today, modern mathematics uses the OUROBOROS as the sign of INFINITY. So the 114th chakra pulsates in the form of the infinite. And if one’s energies touch this dimension within you, then every action, whatever you do is a process of liberation because action is not yours anymore, it is of infinite nature. If one’s energies are within the 112, every action that you do has a residue, so it is best that you do the right kind of action which leaves a pleasant residue upon you. THE PRIMAL SCREAM Whether activity entangles you or is a process of liberation depends essentially on one’s level of SADHANA and also the ATTITUDE and the VOLITION with which ACTION is DONE. If people try to do SADHANA without performing the needed ACTIVITY in their lives, SADHANA will be a great STRUGGLE. If you try and sit for twelve hours a day and meditate, initially it will look like a great fortune, but within a month you will go nuts. If you cross that madness, you will cross everything, but most people give up when the madness arises within them, because it is not easy. This is a primal cry of your father, your grandfather, your forefathers and the goddamn bacteria. All of them will scream to find expression. They will not keep quiet. You can obliterate all of them, but it is a hard path which needs a lot of sadhana. Or you can distance yourself from them - let them scream but you are not bothered because you don’t hear. These are two different ways, but you cannot ignore them because they throb in every cell in your body. To distance yourself from all that takes a lot of work, or it simply takes devotion. If you have to do it by yourself, it takes work. If you want to ride the grace, there is no work but you will not be in the driver’s seat. So you either learn to drive - which involves many risks - or an expert driver will drive and you can sit and doze off in the back seat. As long as you get there, what does it matter how?

[@knowthyselfaum6574]

@S S S the comment, to which you have commented has the answer, but you are not yet ready to receive, your receptivity is blocked, that's why you aren't getting it, I hope.... So, what you are actually trying to ask is, how to live, live to the fullest... I am really sorry to say this, but this is how it is and this is how it works, you have to submit yourself to a Guru/teacher, to get your answer.... I don't know to what extent you would understand this, but it is just a try to communicate that I know.... And this is what Sadhguru has to say about this... You must live! So what does it need to live? This is what you actually meant... Not live it out, live it in, people think if they want to live they want to live it out, party everyday, party everyday philosophy works for sometime, you know.... If you are 18 then you may last for 5 days, 6th day you will be down; if you are 30 then you will last for 3 days, fourth day you will be down; if you are 50 then 2 days you will be down; if you are 60 in the party you will go down; its not practical that's all and it will become the most monotonous(Tedious) horror after sometime. So what should i do? The KRIYA IS A IMPETUS(ಪ್ರಚೋದನೆ). It's not an end in itself. The KRIYA is trying to enhance your ENERGIES. Now the KRIYA can function in different dimensions. when you get exhaust in certain dimension which will take certain period of time for people, depends some people exhaust Quickly, some people exhaust that over lifetime, the possibilities that it offers just in that dimension. And it is also an inbuilt mechanism that if you hit the full depth and dimension of the KRIYA in a certain period of time and stay there steadily, it will open up a new possibility by itself. It is designed like that, the software is designed like that, step by step it will hold you at a certain place for a certain time, when it feels your physiology and psychology is stable enough, it will move you to next level of intensity. If you are not willing to wait for this process to unfold by itself naturally then I would say once a year or twice a year or thrice a year or a whole year that's your choice you pick your time for Sadhana full time Sadhana may be a week, may be 15 days whatever you can afford in your life. If you invest this kind of time, 24 hours Sadhana for a short time, you can do that unfolding much much faster rather than allowing it to mature at its own natural pace, you can push it. And of course being in state of DEVOTION ( DEVOTION simply means your INVOLVEMENT WITH LIFE IS SO ABSOLUTE THAT EVEN YOU.... DON'T MATTER ANY MORE) is very conducive(making a certain situation). Committed to one day, see that this day could be your last day. Do your KRIYA LIKE, THIS COULD BE YOUR LAST DAY. You will unfold much faster; because now you are thinking next 82 years i am going to do it, so the inner mechanism is thinking ok... she/he has got a lot of time.....

It's rather difficult for me to assume that cosmic will is only limited to the idea of certain concepts, like gravity or the earth encircling the sun. Cosmic will, to me is essentially physics. Physics is all encompassing and is intricately woven into our biological and neurological systems. Absolute free will doesn't exist, unless you believe in mind over matter, which negates the intervention of physics.

[@dab0331]

100% free will to do what you want would make you God. Yes, we are enslaved to the physics of needing to eat, sleep, and defecate and such but everything else isn't as strong as those 3 karmas. Procreation comes in a close 4th but everything else like wanting fame and status are much weaker karmas that are easier to break. Need for sex is easier as well. Many virile men overcome their urge for sex and become celibate monks. At the very least one can take up a wife for regular sex rather than the more animalistic path of chasing any and every girl. Cosmic will is the ocean; free will is the boat. If you refuse to use your free will you will 100% be pushed by the currents of the sea. But if you use free will, your sail and rudder, you can use the cosmic will/physics/breeze to your advantage and get to your destination.

But isn't choice just an illusion? You may feel like you chose to dance or sit or whatever, but aren't you simply responding to outside stimuli based on your particular disposition, something that is itself determined by genetics and outside factors? Even if I became somehow "conscious", it would be by accident, as I didn't chose to will consciousness, this willing simply developed naturally due to my genetics and experiences... Essentially I struggle to see where there is any room for choice, when everything has a cause, stretching far back way before my birth... It's like I'm simply watching experience unfold and have tricked myself into believing that I'm steering the ship.
