There have been many yogis in the past, who still are in some ways.
Such people are known as Nirmanakayas who recreate their own body.
Maybe this is hundred years later,
So once you have dropped your physical body now suddenly time is not a issue.
Questioner:
Is time travel possible, particularly when you hear that Babaji has been living for a
thousand years in Himalayas and so on. You hear about all these things, so I'm curious
what you think about all that. Sadhguru: It's become –
somebody said something about Babaji way back, now everybody has started talking about him,
they started making movies about him, everybody started seeing him everywhere.
The reason why I always refrain from speaking of anything that is not yet in people's experience is
because people have no hold or no control over their imagination;
they will become very hallucinatory. Ninety percent of the religion has because hallucinatory
because people have no control over their imagination, isn't it? See, …
talk about something that is not in people's experience – you will always see in any group of
people, the most stupid will see it first. The intelligent will sit there and wonder what the
hell is happening but the most idiotic people will see the angels and Gods and everything instantly.
Yes or no? (Laughs) Yes or no? Is this the reality or no?
Simply because they have no hold over their imagination, it just flies.
Immediately they start seeing – they're not lying, they start seeing
because they have no control over their imagination.
So I don't want to speak about Babaji as such because too much has happened in his
name. (Laughs) But is such a thing possible? There have been many yogis in the past
who still are in some ways,
they retain the subtlest part of their body intact and just let it be.
Whenever they feel it's necessary, they are capable of recreating their old bodies.
This is called as Nirmanakayas. Such people are known as Nirmanakayas who recreate their own body.
Gautama the Buddha is supposed to be one of the Nirmanakayas.
There are many others who recreate their own body as it was then. A youthful body as they liked it.
Maybe this is hundred years later, thousand years later,
whatever number of years because number of years is not at all the issue. What you call as time is…
For this body, one kind of time, for another body another kind of time, isn't it?
See, for your body ten years means this much, twenty years means that much, thirty years means
this much, seventy years means that much, it's like this. Suppose you take a dog, your one year
may be fifteen years for him in his experience, isn't it? If you take an insect,
maybe your one day is fifty years for him because in two days he'll be gone.
So the experience of time and the way life experiences time is very different.
In the life of this planet, hundred years may be just a second, we don't know the calculation
but it is very small, isn't it? So this is not just from human perspective,
it is not about comparing everything to our lifetime and coming to it. Even in the perspective
of that creature's life it is so; maybe not the same way as we calculate but it's different in
its perspective. So once you cross the limitations of the actual physicality and the logical mind,
time is not a issue.,. You will see once you get into a certain state of experience within you,
you sit there – if you sit there for one hour, two hours, it feels like a minute.
Time has always been a relative experience. Even in your life, in normal process of life itself,
on a particular day you're very happy, twenty four hours just passed off like that,
isn't it? Another day you're unhappy, twenty four hours feels like a year, isn't it?
So time is always a relative experience. As your energies get more intense
you will see time just flies faster and faster. If you're in a very intense state,
twenty four hours feels like just a minute, it just goes.
So because when you live intensely within yourself, one year just
goes like a whiz, you know, you don't know what's happening. Before you turn around and see, years
are just gone because you live intensely. As you become more and more intense in your experience
you will see time goes off like this. So once you have dropped your physical body,
the earthy body that you picked up from the planet, now suddenly time is not a issue.
What you think as hundred years later is nothing, it's just a moment later. So maybe just a moment
later he came back but you think he came back five hundred years later. In his experience
he just turned around and came back, but in your experience it's five hundred years later.
So the more I talk about it the more nonsensical it'll become because there is a point beyond which
you cannot speak logically. Today do you know modern science is talking about fuzzy logic?
Fuzzy logic means no logic. But they are unwilling to admit that they are becoming
illogical. (Laughs) It's a shame for a scientist to be illogical, so they are discovering new words
and they are saying it's fuzzy logic. If it's fuzzy it's not logic, isn't it? (Laughs)
So if we speak any more on this we will become fuzzy. (Laughs)
