A Buddhist asks Sadhguru a Puzzling Question

A vipassana practitioner approaches Sadhguru with a question that he has been unable to find an answer for anywhere else. In his own inimitable style, Sadhguru demolishes the questioner, beseeching him to make an authentic effort to grow. #Vipassana
#Sadhguru
Yogi, mystic and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference. An arresting blend of profundity and pragmatism, his life and work serves as a reminder that yoga is a contemporary science, vitally relevant to our times.

He asked a question which was an indecent way which is he said the Gurus at Vipassana Meditation could not answer. If Sadhguru answered, it will be looked up as a competition of Intellectual nature between the teachings in Vipasana and the methods of Sadhguru. Sadhguru has more experience than all of us and he answered it wisely. SOmeone who seeks such question genuinely, he overtime understands that the answers to such questions are not factual knowlege, but experiential knowledge.

For me... time is only part of the 3rd dimension that is limited by time and space, which are both part of the same. In the material/3D dimension we can perceive things little by little, second y second... But 4th dimensional things can be perceived by our mind from the future or past, they are seen at once in the 4th dimension where time doesn't exist and space doesn't make sense. When you say "the beginning" That's only part of 3rd dimension which have time. The beginning is the start of only the 3rd dimension, and is hard for our material brains to comprehend a dimension with no time.

Existence itself is timeless i think. Time was just implemented to measure and keep track. Existence is a constant timeless happening where there is no beginning or end; because there was something , or the void, happening “before” the beginning.

Being straight and blunt makes you the greatest guru alive to begin with. Perhaps one of the greatest ever! Your honesty is awesome, your wisdom and knowledge are awesome and your willingness, no joy in sharing it, is awesome! People feel connected, you speak to each and every one in a hall of hundreds and no one feels left out or neglected. Whenever you sense the slightest barrier while teaching, you effortlessly (so it seems) find a different approach to make sure your words are clear and confuse no one. Your audiences are in awe of you, but it is joyful awe if that makes sense. You give people joy in their own existence; they matter.... and they leave with hope! Thank you, Sadhguru!

[@chris432t6]

Great answer! Thank you.🌞

[@meiralfasi]

One of the best question 🙏🙏🙏

[@SydMountaineer]

Yes, yes!!! Just Do It!!! (I doubt Nike understood it on this level!) When thinking about things I have done that I did not understand previous to doing it, without any instruction, I realize that the act of doing it gave me an understanding that questions and answers could never have explained, and that could not possibly match the level of understanding I attained from "just doing it". Instructions given in words and pictures are not enough to give a proper understanding. This is why the ancient Egyptians used hieroglyphs - they are NOT a primitive form of language, but a "language" that represents what words and sentences cannot, and the great thing about hieroglyphs is that each time a person "reads" them, the MORE they get from them. Back in ancient times, a person learned more and more from the same hieroglyphs the older they got. Giving instruction to someone who thinks they know everything takes many more hours to get them to the place where people who don't assume they know everything are already at.

So honest that Sadhguru doesn't waste nobody's time. Thank you.

There is no begining point where you can say here i didnt exist and came to exist later since ignorance is not eliminated you are being born again and again no matter how far you go into past you will always be existing only when ignorance is eliminated you cease to exist and will nor appear anywhere again. this is what buddha in pali suttas

[@SBCBears]

If you are an "eternal" being, why would you have a beginning? The question asked by the young Buddhist indicates he knows little about his path. This point is covered in the suttas. Any knowledgeable teacher would know the answer. However, dwelling on this question is an impediment to awakening. Contrary to Sadhguru, vipassana IS asking questions, but the right questions. Those are questions about your beliefs and comparing them to the Dhamma. Vipassana must be balanced by samatha. It is normal to ask, "What was my origin?" But, it is not a helpful question if your intent is to awaken.

[@yaaallah2448]

If the answer is in Suttas please answer. If u can't tell how many times I'm reborn in earth with facts,just don't keep on saying that bcz in the garb of your so called knowledge u tell us to first reach that astute and then we will understand. I think where u want us to reach is a state of manipulation so I can start bobbling my head and agree on each and every point. I think everyone should be able to understand answers to any questions in this world which are related to your life. Don't bring me Maths and tell me do u know the basis of Pythagoras theorem,that would be diverting from your question. Tell me how many times have I taken Rebirth? Just because someone has spend almost all of life into something which in appreciated In India and easily to mend Indian Crowd, doesn't mean he is right. At the End he might have realized that there is nothing in God,but now that I have put lot of efforts and practices and voracious readings,I should use this to drive people and manipulate them and get the Feel of the King.

[@kirandeshmne6165]

It was a great question....so profound that the audience went quiet for a moment and then started applauding. I think the answer can be found in a video by Mr. Hans Wilhem called "Spirit, soul and human being". Here he explains that we were all pure, selflessly loving spirit beings residing in heaven world but due to our desire or karma, for e.g. thinking of being equal to God or selfishness, we fell to a lower realm and were called fallen souls. The tendency of any being is to return to home, so to expedite our return to heaven world the fallen souls are given opportunity to reduce their karmic burden through human body. The soul cant suffer so can't get rid of karmic burden. But if it enters human body, then it can reduce karmic burden through suffering so that its return to heaven world is expedited. It makes sense too, because when one himself suffers he easily empathizes with sufferings of others and tries to help them. Many of the NGOs or individuals who strive to help the society have themselves, or their loved one, suffered. So by helping others they can reduce their karmic burden.
