Sadhguru: Like never before, distortions are also happening to yoga. Serious distortions.
Most ridiculous distortions are happening.
So, at a time like this, going out in the world and offering; mark my words I am saying offering,
offering classical Hatha Yoga is a very significant and an important thing to do
because the populations on the planet are showing interest, but to provide the genuine thing is a tremendous responsibility.
Yoga means in a way you’re trying to marry the cosmos – union with the cosmos.
You should not take yourself seriously but because of what you offer other people should take you seriously,
hmm? You take yourself seriously, then you are a… (Laughs). Your partner (Laughter), cosmos.
You’re a ridiculous fool when you have a partner like that. No matter how smart you are, isn’t it?
So that’s what yoga means. You’re trying union with, so don’t ever think you’re too smart.
You’re stupid, but that’s what is good about you - because you know.
Most of the idiots do not know. That’s a big thing.
The difference between being intelligent and stupid is just this;
an intelligent person knows that he is stupid, an idiot does not know that he is an idiot.
That’s the whole problem.
Yoga means, you constantly realizing because you’re constantly enhancing your perception.
As your perception becomes keener and keener, you’re constantly enhancing.
If you have to constantly enhance, you must clearly understand that you don’t know a damned thing.
Otherwise, the moment you think I know, you will stop. That means no yoga.
The day we have produced let’s say ten thousand classical Hatha Yoga teachers who are actively on in the world,
after that this will become the standard. That’s all we need to do.
So, you must live and offer this in such an inspiring way.
Anybody who sees you, should want to do it this way.
They must understand the reason why we are taking so much care.
For future generations on this planet, it is very important that
this science is preserved in its pristine form not in some crazy ways of doing things.
