A blessing is not a thought.
A blessing is not an emotion.
A blessing is a piece of energy.
Blessing is not a good thing, nor is it a bad thing.
So blessing is like gas in the tank.
Just now, one of the participants came up to me and...
when I was just blessing the rudraksh,
she came and asked me, "What is the blessing? What are the thoughts you have?"
So...
see... me saying, or anybody saying, "All the best for you,"
is not a blessing, it's just a wish.
Wish is just a hope;
it's not substantiated by anything.
You wish something good for yourself, or you wish something good for somebody,
it is just a nice thought.
A blessing is not a thought.
A blessing is not an emotion.
A blessing is a piece of energy.
If you...
if you made yourself fluid enough that you're not a burnt pot,
you're just loose,
then... you can take a little bit of that and give.
If you're a properly burnt pot,
you can't take anything out of it, because it's crystallized.
So...
blessing is not a good thing, nor is it a bad thing.
It's just something that hastens you.
It's like gas. (Laughter)
Gas in the car. (Laughter)
Oh, not you! (Laughter)
I meant gasoline. (Laughter)
You put gasoline into the tank, you can move.
If you're pushing your car and going,
you know how far is your home? (Chuckles)
A long, long way, isn't it?
You got gas in the tank, you're there in no time, isn't it?
Whatever the distance, is no big deal.
So blessing is like gas in the tank.
It's not a wish, it's not a thought, it's not an emotion.
It's not good, it's not bad,
it's just gasoline if you want a moving car.
But if you're somebody who enjoys a parked car... (laughter)
because moving car is dangerous, it could crash.
Moving car can be dangerous, isn't it?
Parked car is definitely far more safe?
Yes or no? Meditators: Yes.
Sadhguru: So lot of people have chosen to live in a parked car.
Morning of course becomes afternoon, and afternoon of course becomes evening,
and evening of course becomes night.
Fall becomes winter, winter becomes spring, spring becomes summer, and autumn again.
It looks like you're going somewhere - so much change of scenery! (Laughter)
It's exciting enough!
But... if you're a little loony
that to go a certain distance you're willing to risk your life,
then you drive a car: you want a driving car, a moving car, isn't it?
Parked car is a damn safe car.
It's good, you could very well live there, no problem.
It's just that you don't go anywhere, that's all.
You have no intention of going anywhere.
You want just a safe place to live, a parked car is a good place, isn't it?
But now you want to go somewhere.
There are drunken drivers on the street (Laughter)
but still you want to go somewhere.
Now you need gas.
So, blessing is gasoline.
It's a piece of energy.
It's not good wishes.
