Yogic Relief for PMS Mood Swings Sadhguru looks at the fundamental reason why so many women experience emotional turmoil during the biological process of menstruation. Article Apr 7, 2017 Q: I’m experiencing a lot of premenstrual emotional turmoil, and I’m wondering if there are any yogic remedies or practices that can help. Sadhguru: The menstrual cycles, which are physiological in nature, unfortunately cause many women a lot of psychological disturbances, due to lack of synchronization between these two aspects of who you are. There is also an elemental dimension to it. The five elements, which form the most fundamental geometry of the body, have to be in sync as well. Pancha Bhuta processes can ease these issues because they organize the elements within your system. There is nothing miraculous about it. The weird thing is actually that so many women are going through a normal biological process as if it was some abominable thing – simply because...

Disability Should Not Take Away Joy




Article
Sep 8, 2017



While each one of us has different levels of capability, many people still require support from the society in their daily lives. Sadhguru speaks about removing the hurdles which many disabled people in the society still face, in order to provide an equal opportunity for all.

Sadhguru: Today, we do not refer to people as “handicapped.” We are beginning to call them special children or special people. He is special, which is why you have to attend to him a little more than you attend to others, and it is an opportunity for you to put your humanity into practice and understand that life needs to be handled with sensitivity. That sort of sensitivity has to come naturally to people, rather than looking for some mystical or divine solution.
Diseases, injuries and birth defects—all these are realities of life. It is true we would like to see that everyone has legs, but if it happens that somebody does not, it need not become a great misery for him. People can support him to see that his life is not that difficult. Rather than a personal problem, it is more of a social problem which has to be addressed.
Not Equality, But Equal Opportunity
Different people have different capabilities. Not all of us can run 100 meters in 9 seconds. Does that mean we are physically handicapped? Compared to that man who can do so, we are, isn't it? So, “handicap” is a very relative term. Physical and mental activity are always on different scales for people. But the one thing that society can do is to  as far as possible  create equal opportunities. You cannot make people equal. That would be cruel. If one person does not have a leg, will you cut everybody’s leg? Is that equality? Equality is a foolish idea. But equal opportunity is something that has to happen in every society.
There was a time when so many people would contract polio. Now governments, institutions and people who are aware of public health are taking great efforts to see that every child gets a polio vaccine. But if someone does get polio, the society has to give him the necessary opportunity to live a fulfilled life. Whether it is about getting into public transport or accessing public places, many countries still have not taken enough measures to see that a person who has a little disability can manage in this society. It is almost like everything that we have created is a hurdle for him.
Making the Best of Your Capability
I want you to understand that even people who are not physically disabled in some way are laughed at because of certain inabilities. Not all of us can do everything the same way. Suppose you can sing very well but if you ask me to sing, I’ll do it horribly and you might laugh at me. Society is mentally handicapped. Even if you are born with a funny nose, people will make fun of you. There will always be somebody who thinks they are better than you at something. You should see how to make the best of who you are rather than seeing what someone else is thinking about or laughing at. You can do something else with yourself and become a much bigger source of joy for yourself.




There is a science that deals with how you want to be within yourself, how to be at peace with your body, mind, and emotions no matter what people are saying. That is what we refer to as “yoga.” It is a technique that lets you maintain your identity. “You” are not an issue anymore; the issues are all outside. Outside issues can be handled only to the best of our ability, considering the realities in which we exist. But if you are an issue by yourself, you will not even do what you are capable of doing on the outside. If a human being does not do what he is not capable of, it is fine, but if he does not do what he can do, his life is a tragedy. That should not happen.

Sadhguru: The Tree That Bears Fruit Will Be Stoned

The Tree That Bears Fruit Will Be Stoned A common saying in the Tamil language warns that the tree that bears fruit will be stoned. Sadhguru responds, only when someone sees the value of the fruit and longs to taste its sweetness, will they take the effort to throw a stone. Article Mar 6, 2017 Q: There is a saying that the tree that bears the fruits will be stoned... Sadhguru: Oh, I know that better than anyone! They will keep throwing stones. If somebody has to take a stone and throw it at you, it takes lot of effort. They are throwing it at you because you are of some value. You are a valuable target! Who would throw a stone at someone who is not worth anything? Unknowingly, unconsciously, people know the fruit is valuable. So we have been stoned quite a bit. But over the years, many of those people have turned around. They are standing under the tree waiting for the fruit to fall into their mouth. That is always how it is. It is alright if people thr...

Sadhguru: The Two Ways to Open the Third Eye

The Two Ways to Open the Third Eye Sadhguru discusses the two ways of opening the third eye, and the pitfalls of trying to follow a “middle path”. Article Mar 3, 2017 Sadhguru: The most significant aspect of Shiva is that he opened his third eye. He did many other things – he danced, he meditated, he married twice. All that is fine, but it is only because he opened his third eye that we remember him even today. After thousands of years, we still bow down to him because there is no substitute for knowing. To know is to be free. And there is no way to know unless your perception is enhanced beyond its present limitations. Shiva is significant because he perceived what most human beings failed to perceive. What is unseen for a large segment of humanity became a normal part of his vision. That is what the third eye means. People say when Shiva opened his third eye, fire came out of it. This fire indicates that within himself, he burnt everything that he thoug...

Sadhguru: Samadhi – A Taste of “That Which is Not”.docx

Samadhi – A Taste of “That Which is Not” When one has crossed the boundary and tasted “that which is not,” Sadhguru says, this is called samadhi. Article Apr 3, 2017 Sadhguru: The existence is made of “that which is” and “that which is not”. “That which is” has form, shape, qualities, beauty. “That which is not” has none of these things, but it is free. Here and there, “that which is not” spurts into “that which is”. And as “that which is” becomes more conscious, it will long to become “that which is not”. Though one enjoys the form, qualities, attributes and beauty attached to it, the longing to get to a state of utter freedom of being is unavoidable and inevitable. It is just a question of time, and the bondage of time and space also is only the hallucination of “that which is”. “That which is not” neither perceives time nor space because it is boundless and eternal, not shackled by the limitations of time and space.  When this longing to become liberated...
