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...

Yoga – A Technology for Ultimate Flowering


On the yogic path, Sadhguru explains, God is not seen as the source of life, but as its ultimate flowering.

On the yogic path, God is not seen as the source of life, but as its ultimate flowering. How to achieve this flowering? Sadhguru explains that the whole science of yoga is a process of good gardening.

Sadhguru: The yogic symbolism of the ultimate is a flower because on the path of yoga, God is seen as an ultimate flowering, not as the creator, the source or the seed of life. Yoga is not interested in where you came from. It is only interested in where you are going to go. But we cannot approach what is yet to be without what is. We are trying to make a space for ourselves in what is. Otherwise our interest is not in what is or what has been. Our interest is in what is yet to be.


Nurturing the Seed

We look at life in such a way that what everyone refers to as the Father, we don’t see it as a father. That means we are forsaking our pedigree. We are looking at God as something that you can be pregnant with. If you nurture it, it will be delivered unto you. If you do not nurture it, you will remain with just the seed forever.
The whole science of yoga, the whole process that we are referring to as spirituality is just a question of good gardening – nurturing the seed so that it will become a flower.

We are interested in the seed only because of the beauty and fragrance of the flower and the sweetness and nourishment of the fruit. If that was not there, we would not be interested in the seed at all. The whole science of yoga, the whole process that we are referring to as spirituality is just a question of good gardening – nurturing the seed so that it will become a flower.

That is why the yogis decided to put you upside down! In uncomfortable positions you may see truth much better than in comfortable positions. Yoga is a technology for inner transformation on all levels, but one thing to remember is that doing a certain practice – though it has its innate qualities which can lead to transformation – is not everything.

How you do it is very important.

If a method has to genuinely become a method, first and foremost, you should make up your mind that you are going to make use of it. Only then can it function as a method. It is always best to start a spiritual process with an unconditional commitmentfor a certain period of time – just simply do the practice for six months. No benefit needs to happen to you. Simply do it. After that, evaluate your life and see how peaceful, joyous and calm you are. What is it doing with you?


The Light Within

There was a Spanish painter, El Greco. On a fine spring morning, he was sitting with all his windows shut up. His friend walked in and said, “Why are you sitting with all these windows shut up? Let’s go out. Come. It’s a wonderful day outside, at least open the windows.” He said, “I don’t want to open the windows because the light within is shining, I don’t want it to be disturbed by the outside light.”
So, for the seed to be nurtured into a flower, do we have to switch on the light? No, the light is on. It is just that you have covered it with so much muck that it is not finding its way out. Once this light begins to shine from within, the rest is a natural process. We can do that very easily. We have the necessary inner technology to make it happen very quickly, so we do not even have to go through the natural process because that may take time. Like they have genetic engineering, we have Inner Engineering! A coconut tree which would yield in eight years’ time yields in one and a half years – genetic engineering. The same with Inner Engineering – those who would otherwise make it in ten lifetimes, they can make it in one lifetime!

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...
