Maybe he was attached to attract more students. To do what? Brainwash them, put them in a uniform and turn them into beings without their own will. Sounds bad to me.

Supposedly if you are enlightened , or even just bit opened to the real nature of reality, you are not hierarchical anymore.

Him and millions of people around the world. The subject of spirituality and enlightenment is very slippery, it is very difficult to even understand what enlightenment means, and there are always opportunists lurking around to make money. Opportunists who themselves may think they are enlightened without even understanding what that means, since enlightenment has the particularity of being impossible to understand. (and I am not saying here that I am), and making the wannabes thinking that they are enlightened from the first moment. Then it's a topic that is not defined nowadays, there is not a consensus about what enlightenment is. Anyway Osho was a genius, very smart, but I think he operated in the level of the mind, just an opinion

Enlightenment is not only to be open to the unlimited, that's just an step, an important one, but enlightenment goes further and I think that sadhguru talks in that sense. Enlightenment means the alignment of your being, when the resistance ceases and you perceive yourself as the perfect flow. Everything fits perfectly and your energy flows without obstacle. It's a difficult process that as sadhguru said could take thousand of lifes

I'd say that the nature of infinity is such that never two things could be equal, because anything that exists, even a subatomic particle, is synchroniced to infinity, is infinite, then the minimum deviation means a infinite difference, equality is absolutely impossible

That is an interesting point. In spirituality it is said a lot: we are consciousness. then: consciousness is creating this experience. How is something going to be created by awareness? That something already existed, and consciousness really is nothing, it is the fact that a certain aspect of reality manifests. Without consciousness there is also reality, the unmanifested reality remains real. Reality is absolute, but consciousness is relative. consciousness is not reality, it is an aspect of reality

Maybe because shows that you are giving value to the symbols of power and success of the society, then that Rolex is a symbolically a chain that enslaves you , then if you are a guru that preach freedom seems incoherent

The point of infinity is that the point A is the same than the point B, then everything is the same, there is not real movement, because there is not place to arrive, not starting point, the only movement is relative to another movement, but those two movement are not really moving. If you place yourself in an infinite perspective, the reality is immutable, nothing is happening. "Happening" is just an idea in infinity, an illusion. But same time, if you put yourself in a relative perspective, there are infinite movement, all of them perfectly synchronized to Infinity power

Agree with sadhguru, the thing is opening a new dimension in you that makes that the old dimensions are in this new dimension that is unlimited. (Well, I think that he means something like that). Then, you could go deeper in that dimension until it's the normal dimensión for you, and your perception changes little by little . The points that I don't like in sadhguru is that attitude of superiority like, a guru has to play with you, because you would be so scared blablabla, but anyone has his own way to express

@Ishanga is there any video where he explains enlightenment? I didn't say he's fake, I just doubt.

Who is enlightened according sadhguru? How many people in the world? Because I don't know anyone. One thing is have some degrees of openess that could be almost total is some moments, but he talks about something that happens and never changes.

I think that There are two levels of ego. The first is the comparative, conceptual, social ego, which tells us who we are in contrast to others, whether we are handsome, lazy, etc. The next level is the ego that separates the physical being from the external. This level is genetic, supported by the fear of disappearing as a physical being. transcending the first is difficult, transcending the second even more so. The temporary egoless state is the total absence of differentiation in which reality perceives itself as total.

Simplifying is a typical error of naive spirituality Eckart Tolle: you are creating your suffering. stop creating it! voila! magic! No more suffering!!!....clowns. The human psyche has emotional springs created by millions of years of evolution that are not overcome that easily. the compulsions of acceptance, reproduction, competition, body preservation, the need for connection/tribe/clan, are real mechanisms, energetic patterns that keep you prisoner. You think you have overcome them with a mental trick because you have been happy for two days after reaching a conclusion, but they are lying in wait to catch you with double force. The opening of the psyche to the absolute is not a game, a truism, an idea or something that all humans should do but don't do because they are stupid. It is a very complex energy readjustment process. simplifying is not understanding, the psyche is not simple

No, it's about real understanding or fake one

Well, seems that he didn't realize that because he was living in his own world, but that own world seemed a world of narcissism and idiocy, not a mystical enlightened one. He was a brilliant philosopher, but ultimately a clown

He seemed a complete idiot, drug addict and bit depressive

I would say that love is a natural consequence of having dissolved the barriers of the ego, but not the end in itself. the true goal is openness, an unobstructed, unlimited mind. This open mind is reality and perceives itself as such, its substance is the substance of reality, creative force, intelligence, abundance. You can call this love, but love seems to imply attachment.

Agree, real freedom is get rid of desire, stop focusing in what do you want of life and perceive what life wants of you. Then you can start flow and be open to what life is without resistance, and seems that synchronicities start to happen.

Reality is permanent, what is impermanent is the form. If you are one with the substance, you are permanent

Well said, so simple and so difficult. the movement that occurs is relative. Relative means not real absolutely, but real in relation to a reference. From a broader vision, so broad that it has no limits, there are no references, and therefore there is no movement. Without movement absolute reality manifests itself. The movement is the door that closes, since it only allows us to see the movement, or form, since both are equivalent, relative. In a moment you acquire the ability to change perspective at will, since you can open your mind by erasing its limits. In a mind without limits there are no references, therefore the absolute manifests itself

more accurate imo is saying that you aren't going to experience nothing except your experience, because you are this experience. If you mean you as absolute, the absolute doesn't experience, is total. The totality doesn't have relative experiences, only the relative has relative experiences, and the relative is real only relatively.

Tell people to be free and original and then set up a sect where everyone has to wear a uniform except you.

Reincarnation intuitively seems very possible, I feel that life is a path to learn, but that's true? Maybe all mystics had this kind of feeling and they accepted that reincarnation is a logical possibility. In other hand many said that they remember past lifes, but is that true? Maybe. I think it's a possibility quite possible

For me enlightenment is being open to the absolute, that's a reality, and it doesn't depends exactly of your level of consciousness. It is rather the rupture of a pattern of perception, the pattern involves perceiving as a "happening", as a chain of events. You can have a very high level of consciousness of what your experience is, but you cannot get out of the experience. the absolute is not experience, this is very difficult to see but it is obvious. What is an experience? something that happens, that goes from point A to B. The absolute is dimensionless, therefore it does not occur, it does not move, it is immutable. Imagine that your experience is always exactly the same, would it be an experience? would it be something? For reality to appear as something must change and any change is relative. Openness to the absolute is not perceiving the absolute because perceiving requires change, you cannot perceive nothingness, or deep sleep, or death, which are simply absence of change, you can be open to it, because you really are that. Everything become nothing, infinity and zero are the same in the sense of absence of "happening", and absolute potential. In infinity nothing happens because it encompass any possibile happening, it already happened infinite times, then, it's the same than no happening. There is not movement, any movement is just apparent, relative to a reference point, but not real, then it's homogeneous and immutable, same than the nothingness. Nothingness is everything, everything is nothingness, and this is the absolute, that is, you.
