(Sadhguru): So when we talk
when you use words of the
of whose meaning we do not know,
that’s called rubbish, isn't it?
But, maybe socially very valuable rubbish
because it confuses somebody.
If you can confuse a few people,
they may believe you’re intelligent.
Really!
If you want to be perceived as intellectual,
you just have to confuse a few people.
You don’t have to bring clarity to anybody.
The work
The spirituality or the spiritual work is about bringing clarity,
not confusion.
Confusion we do only when people have deep conclusions.
When people have conclusions in their mind
which they believe is everything,
then we confuse them a bit
so that their conclusions get loosened up.
Once Shankaran Pillai won the Meghalaya state lottery.
Is that still on?
Is it still on or gone?
Tch. No lottery?
Okay at that time, 1984.
We change the date, what’s the problem?
After all we made up the dates,
we can use it the way we want it, isn't it?
Not now,
1984
he won a lottery
and people gathered,
press gathered and everybody said,
‘Wow, you won a lottery!
Fifty six crores!’
You heard those days, isn't it?
‘So, how did you get this lucky number?’
So ShankaranPillai said,
‘I had
Three consecutive nights I had a dream.
In the dream it said,
‘Number eight, number eight, number eight three times.’
Three times it appeared
eight, eight eight. Then I thought
three times eight is thirty two and
I went for the thirty-two ticket and I got it!’
Then people said,
‘Well,three times eight is not thirty-two, it is twenty-four.’
He said, ‘What does it matter, I won the lottery!’
So I’m telling you,
Existence does not fit into your logic.
It’s not logically correct.
It’s not logically correct,
but it’s fantastic.
That means what’s wrong?
That means your logic is too limited, isn't it?
‘No, Existence is not correct,
why is it not fitting into my logic?’
This is the argument of a madman, isn't it?
This is the way it is.
If your logic doesn’t fit into it
there’s a problem with your head,
not with the Existence.
