What is the Real Meaning of Love – Juhi Chawla with Sadhguru

Juhi Chawla and Sadhguru look at the fundamental nature of love and how to bring it into our daily lives. Sadhguru explains that instead of trying to love a thousand people on Facebook, there is a possibility to become loving by our own nature. The interaction was a part of the “In Conversation with the Mystic”, an exclusive series of interactive episodes where eminent personalities from various walks of life explore a range of subjects with Sadhguru, who, amidst engaging stories and witty jokes, bridges the gap between the modern and the mystical, opening the door to deeper dimensions of life. From Shekhar Kapur – Oscar award winning director – joining Sadhguru in a dialogue about love, life, and longing, to KV Kamath – Chairman of ICICI – discussing corporate greed and ethics, to Virender Sehwag – the swashbuckling opener – looking to handle the pressures of international cricket, the series has been a riveting adventure.

We have one question from the social media the facebook (Laughter). AmitAmity MadanMadam wants to know in this materialistic age the real feeling of love is disappearing from our life, most of the love we receive from others and express to others is superficial. How can we reinforce the real feeling of love in our own life and in others? Sadhguru: Forget about others. iIf you… if you learn to be loving by your own nature not because of somebody else or something else. I know the question is coming from Facebook face book there’s an enormous possibility (Laughter). You can even love those people who don’t even exist (Laughter). So, I’m saying it’s a tremendous possibility., soSo (Laughs) if you just become love, not love somebody then you will know the nature of love. If you love somebody it’s a fickle happening because no human being will happen a hundred percent the way you want them. Every human being on this planet is going to disappoint you believe me not because they’ll do something wrong because nobody can fulfill the unr… unrealic… unrealistic expectation you have of them. It’s simply not possible., haveHave you been able to fulfill anybody’s expectation I’m asking you entirely? Partially but never entirely, isn’t it? So nobody else will be able to do it unless you’re a still such a hopeless romantic you’re still waiting that ideal person is going to come from somewhere – No!

How to Become Silent? – Sadhguru

Sadhguru explains, in the process of becoming silent, shutting one’s mouth is only half the job. Those too enamored with their own thought process will only catch themselves in a loop of recycled memories. Sadhguru Talks @ In the Lap of the Master, Isha Yoga Center, Apr 2009 To watch this video in Gujarati – https://youtu.be/RtoC0MlnwyQ **************************************** Transcript: http://isha.sadhguru.org/blog/video/becoming-silent/ So the process of what you call as spiritual is not a psychological process. Your memory has nothing to do with it. It’s a life process; it’s an existential process. This can only happen if you allow yourself to be just a piece of life that you are. To do this, we do many things here and, you know, you might have seen people in the ashram walking around with those orange tags. If you have seen the silence tags people are wearing – just shut up. Because, shutting your mouth is only half the job; to become silent is possible only when you do not think much of yourself. If you think something about yourself, if you think ‘I am smart’ how can you shut up? -You tell me. If you think ‘I am smart’ how can you shut up? If you realize that you are actually stupid, you don’t know anything in this existence then… (Gestures) isn’t it? Then you can simply look at life with great sense of wonder, without a thought appearing in your mind. If you think you are smart about everything, you got explanations and calculations and nonsense going on in your head. If you see one thing, a thousand thoughts will go off, isn’t it? You are not sitting here in this sathsang totally silent; you are agreeing with me, disagreeing with me, making comments within yourself, making comments about the clothes that somebody is wearing next to you, appreciating it, depreciating it, everything is happening. Am I wrong? Because the moment you think there is some value to what you think then you can’t stop it; no way to stop it. It’ll just go on and on and on. When you see there is absolutely no life value to your thought process; it is just memory recycling itself, it is just the same old nonsense recycling itself… but if you are exited, if you are enamored by this recycle, if you think it’s great you cannot stop it. If you see the patterns of what it is, if you see the stupidity of what it is, then slowly you will distance yourself and it’ll collapse because without attention it cannot go on.

How Do You Stop the Mind’s Chatter? – Sadhguru

Sadhguru answers a question on why the mind seems to have a mind of its own! He looks at how terms such as “no-mind” and “stop the mind” have been used over the years, and asks why one would want to stop the mind – the product of millions of years of evolution. The problem, he reminds us, is not the mind, but that the mind is “telling its own story.” He describes how the powerful kriya, Shambhavi Mahamudra, is one big step towards changing this. Sadhguru Talks @ Volunteers Meet, Mysore, Apr 2011 कैसे रोकें मन की बक-बक को? सद्गुरु एक सवाल का जवाब देते हुए बताते हैं कि मन लगातार चलता क्यों रहता है। “विचारशून्यता” और “विचारहीनता” जैसे शब्दों, जिनका एक लंबे अरसे से प्रयोग किया जाता रहा है, का ज़िक्र करते हुए सद्गुरु पूछते हैं कि लाखों सालों के विकास के बाद मिले इस शानदार मन को कोई रोकना क्यों चाहेगा। वे याद दिलाते हैं कि मन समस्या नहीं है, समस्या बस इतनी है कि मन “अपनी खुद की कहानियां” बताते रहता है। सद्गुरु बताते हैं कि कैसे शांभवी महामुद्रा क्रिया इस स्थिति को बदलने का एक सोपान हो सकता है। To watch this video in other languages: Tamil – https://youtu.be/e2TxUm6P4pg Gujarati – https://youtu.be/fv4yO3WC0ao *************************** Transcript: http://isha.sadhguru.org/blog/video/stop-minds-chatter/ Questioner: Sadhguru, I wanted to know that when we are silent still we feel that mind chattering which always bothers us and our thought always shifts back to past and future imaginations which will not be any of output. How to get rid of it? Sadhguru: You want to stop your mind? There are whole lot of thought about this thoughtlessness. There are many places people… where people are… (Talking Aside – What are the little babies doing here, how old are these kids? How old are you? Fourteen? I am sure you added two years. (Laughter) Okay. (Laughs) You want to be here? Hmm? You don’t want to? Somebody is forcing you to stay? I’m saying you want to participate in the class? No?

How Do You Get To Know Yourself Fully? – Sadhguru answers at Entreprenuers Organization Meet

Sadhguru looks at how unfortunately, most people do not pay enough attention to what lies within. He explains how the human system is the most sensitive and sophisticated machine on the planet. When we have such a wonderful gadget in our hands, we can’t afford to operate like a “blacksmith”! Sadhguru Talks @ Entreprenuers Organization Meet, Chennai, Feb 2013 ***************************** Full Transcript: Sadhguru: Just got to be introduced, that’s all. (Laughter) You’re paying too much attention to everything around you, not enough attention to this one. (Gestures) But the quality of your life is essentially determined by how you carry this one. Yes or no? This moment, what kind of clothes you’re wearing, what kind of car you parked outside, what kind of home you live in – does not determine the quality of your life. This moment how joyful are you feeling within yourself, determines the quality of your life; isn’t it so? Nothing has been done about it. You think it will happen in consequence and you’re setting impossible goals for your happiness. ‘If I have to be happy, my wife should be like this, my hus… husband should be like that, my children should be like this, the world should become some other way.’ Well, these are impossible conditions you’re setting for your happiness and peacefulness.

Troubled by Fear? Just Change Your Channel! – Sadhguru

Sadhguru looks at the nature of fear and answers a question on how to overcome fear. He explains how fear arises because of excessive imagination. Instead of producing “horror movies” in our mind, produce a comedy, a love story or a suspense thriller, he says. Full Transcript: Questioner: Many times in my daily life fear stops me from doing small things and bigger things – fear from failure, fear from… maybe from rejection sometimes. How to overcome this fear? Sadhguru: You cannot overcome something which does not exist. Right now, are you in fear? Right now, that I may say something damaging? Is that the fear? (Laughs) Every moment of your life, you are in fear? No. So, when you are not in fear, just stay like that because to create fear, you have to use excessive imagination. To not be in fear, you don’t have to do anything. Fear is happening because of excessive imagination – things that have not happened, you are creating. What may happen in your mind happens in thousand different formats and most probably it never happens. The things that you have feared… Take hundred things that you have feared. Probably ninety nine of them never happened, isn’t it? Yes? So, your hear… your fear is always about that which does not exist. You cannot fight or you cannot overcome that which does not exist. We can overcome something which… that exists. You cannot overcome that which does not exist. We just have to give up that effort. Enjoy the fear. After all, it’s your making. You like horror movies?

How to Overcome Fear? – Sadhguru

In this short clip taken from “One: The movie” – a documentary about the meaning of life; Sadhguru talks about fear. Why do we feel fear and what is it’s basis? Sadhguru explains the root cause of fear, the source of fear, and how to become free from fear. Full Transcript: Sadhguru: The fear is simply because you are not living with life, you are living in your mind. Your fear is always about what’s going to happen next. That means your fear is always about that which does not exist. If your fear is about the nonexistent, your fear is hundred percent imaginary. If you are suffering the non-existential we call that insanity. So people may be in just socially accepted levels of insanity, but if you’re afraid or if you’re suffering anything which does not exist, it amounts to insanity, isn’t it? People are always suffering either what happened yesterday or what may happen from tomorrow. So your suffering is always about that which does not exist, simply because you’re not rooted in reality, you’re always rooted in your mind. Mind is – one part of it is memory, another part of… is imagination. Both of them are in one way imagination, because both of them don’t exist right now. You’re lost in your imagination, that’s the basis of your fear. If you were rooted in reality, there would be no fear.
