Questioner: Namaskaram Sadhguru,
I want to experience this life within me to the maximum.
So in addition to my kriyas,
which I do every day without fail,
what else should I do
to take this experience to the maximum?
I want to experience that magic of life you talk about.
Thank you.
Sadhguru: You must live!
So, what does it need to live?
Not live it out,
live it in. (Laughs)
People think if they want to live,
they want to live it out.
Party every day.
Party every day philosophy works for some time, you know.
If you are eighteen
You’re not, okay.
I’m not… I’m not trying to
If you are eighteen, (Turns his face to the other side, covering his face with one hand)
(Laughter)
then you may last five days, sixth day you’ll be down.
If you’re thirty, you’ll last for three days,
fourth day you’ll be down.
If you are fifty - two days you’ll be down.
If you’re sixty, in the party you’ll go down (Laughter).
So nothing
I have nothing against the party,
it’s not very practical, that’s all.
And it’ll become the most
monotonous horror after some time
party every day.
Hmm?
So what should I do?
The kriya is only an impetus.
It is not an end in itself.
The kriya is trying to enhance your energies.
Daily, every day without fail, I heard that
and I’ll remember that and I’ll… (Laughter) Hmm?
Okay.
Now the kriya can function in different dimensions,
when we teach it in the program
we will teach it in such a way it is safe for a beginner.
There’s a safety issue always.
If you’re going to make somebody climb up this tree,
if it is a five-year-old kid
you will make him go that much,
if it’s a ten-year-old kid that much, you know.
There’s a safety issue.
So, it is taught in a certain way.
When you exhaust that dimension,
which will take a certain period of time for people
depends,
some people exhaust that quickly,
some people exhaust that over a lifetime,
the possibility 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 a period of time
and stay there steadily,
it’ll open up a new possibility by itself.
It’s… It’s designed like that,
the software is designed like that,
that step-by-step it’ll hold you at a certain place for a certain time,
when it feels your physiology and psychology is stable enough,
it’ll move you to next level of intensity.
If you’re 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 the whole year, that’s your choice,
you can make it your choice,
you fix a time for sadhana
full time sadhana,
maybe a week,
maybe fifteen days whatever you can afford in your life.
You come, stay here,
one week sadhana,
fifteen days sadhana, whatever
that suits and fits into your life,
you do that.
For you I would say twice a year –
full-time sadhana.
A few days in a year is only for sadhana,
not for anything else.
Not morning sadhana, evening sadhana,
just twenty-four hours sadhana for a short span of time.
If you invest this kind of time,
you can do that unfolding much, much faster,
rather than allowing it to mature at its own natural pace,
you can push it.
You should do that.
And, of course,
being in a state of devotion is very conducive.
You can every day sit like this
and do it like an exercise.
Don’t take such vows,
‘Till the last day of my life, I will do it.’
Do it today,
you’re committed only for one day.
And see this day that this could be your last day.
Possible?
Possible or no?
Possible. We’re not wishing it,
but possible.
So this could be your last day.
Do your kriya like this could be your last day.
Hmm?
You’ll unfold much faster
’cause now you’re thinking next eighty-two years
I’m going to do it,
so the inner mechanism is thinking
okay, she’s got a lot of time (Laughs).
You do it like today is the last day,
then it’ll hurry up a little bit.
Or if we find you’re stable enough,
suitable enough,
we will step in and tweak it up
in a completely different way.
There are many things to do,
but the most important thing is to
do the kriya with a certain sense of devotion and offering
rather than like an exercise.
If you do it like an exercise you’ll get health benefits,
but if you want to explode,
then you must take away your inner structures,
then it’ll burst very easily.
