That's all I know basicly That's what Sadhguru says. What takes lifetimes of heart breaking sadhana of holding your breath, twisting your body, doing this and that. A devotee can do the same thing with ease and joy without any struggling. https://youtu.be/pfqXRwxIu84 -

It has nothing to do with enjoyable or not. Maybe in this quote was said to a certain audiance. Like a adviata audience. Usually if you do self-enquiry and you're feeling very comfortable then you're not putting attention on the hot spot. You're avoiding something. Also devotion is the quickest way to enlightenment and it's the most enjoyable. So that statement probably works only under a certain context. -
That's a perfect amount for becoming an Isha Hatha Yoga teacher

It's painful to watch but 90% of things that are said here are totally pointless. Somebody said something irrelevent and all the attention got diverted there. Just to avaid questioning the real benefit of psychedelics. They started questioning who's the devil... What was suppossed to be an joyful insight and perspective and new ways of looking into psychedelics turned into pointless anger about something. Nobody even understands what they're fighting about We're all on the same page here ? -

I had the same feeling -

For them there is no problem. They cross the border and they come back. What he means is that someone who's a on a path of kriya when they reach the peak of enlightenment they are still very physcially capable. It's not the same with others. Others have huge trouble to remain in body and to keep it healthy. but For them there is no problem. This is really interesting video about how saints who reach the peak of enlightenment struggle with their body. You will have a better understanding what he means by that. You can skip to 4.15min. -

This thread is loosing it's main goal and message. It's perfectly reasonable to assume that psychedelics are dengerous no matter how responsibly you use them. It's just too forceful and random. Martin Ball fits very well into example of this here. Unless you become liberated, then paying the price with your body would be alright. But now it seems you don't even get enlightened. All you get is crazy shit experiences and suffering. Sadhguru ofter says that it's a huge trap for spiritual seekers to be trapped in fancy experiences. They spend all their lives living in their own universe but they are just as far as everyone else from liberation. Bhuddha experienced all 8 samadhis and discarded them. He said that's not it. That's not the liberation. it's just a fancy experience. So psychedelics could be just like that. You can go into different states and realities but still be not liberated. It could be heavily entangling actually because you don't want to come out of it. I think I went off topic myself but it's an interesting perspective nonetheless. -

But he died in absolute bliss and exstacy. You will never hear him complaining about omg I'm so sad. God please remove this cancer. No his body was infested with worms - he didn't care. He got cancer - he sat still in blissfulness. He could be burning on fire and still be at ultimate wellbeing inside because he had no identity with his body. In his experience it was not even happening to him. That's what I consider an enlightened Being. Martin is nowhere near such experience. He calls himself the god of the universe but he's complaining about mosquito bites. Edit: sorry i mixed the Maharshi with another indian advaita master who also had cancer. -

Omg i just read it. It's a sorry state to be for him. -

Is this some kind of latest news? Where is this information you're talking about ? I'm interested. Balance people. No balance + strong awakening = going crazy. Balance + strong awakening = fantastic. The stronger awakening the better. the stronger the awakening when there's no balance, the more you will suffer. -
Being selfless doesnt mean you do everything that people ask you to do for them. It means you want other people to be happy that's all. And in your capacity you do what you can to give them happyness. If someone says give me all your money and you give him all your money, that's not selfless activity. punching him in the face would be a greater service to him then giving him all your money. See... Btw. Look at saints and gurus who give their whole life to others. Is anyone taking advantage of them? No but you can use them for your wellbeing and liberation whenever you want. They want to you to use them

Salvijus replied to Leo Gura's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
There are things that you can do without initiation. But there are things witch you can never do without transmission. Transmission is a gift from your guru basicly. It's not your meditation anymore. It's only a seed that your guru gives you and you only have to nurture it and care of it. Then seed will sprout and bear fruits. If you're not initiated nothing will sprout because there's no seed. Maybe your lung capasity will increase only. Maybe some new sensations will arise in you. But your life will not change. Your behavior will not change. Your paterns will not change. Sadhguru says Improvement can be made without any initiation. But if you want to transform yourself then you need initiation. Transformation means nothing of the old remains For example when I was doing self-enquiry and mindfulness meditation for 3years I got some benefits like my mental clarity was better, I was becoming smarter, I would get insights about stuff. Something was improving but my life was not changing. My relationships were all the same. My anxiety problems were still the same. My depression didn't go away. I still couldn't open up to people. I was afraid of social interactions. My life was exacly how it was except I was more spiritualy educated and with a better mindfulness over my mind. But when I was initiated into shambhavi my life just flipped upside down in a moment. Even on the very first day I was already a different person. I could see that I'm doing things I never even imagined doing it. Totally crazy things that were totally unlike me. I could dance, I could sing, i could finally express myself with people so effortlessly. These things were impossible for me. Such transformation was definitely not my doing. It was all sadhguru's doing and his grace that made this happen. It's totally beyond my understanding... Also don't get me wrong. I still see value in doing self-reflection and other things. It's just that there're things that initiation can do to you beyond your personal effors. -

You think climbing Mount Everest is suffering? Yes there could be pain but it's not suffering, it's an adventure. Those who are not prepared for them it is suffering. Those who prepared themselfs, for them it's a devine pilgrimage. -
I'm not saying that these videos are true. But I heard sadhguru say changing your DNA is possible. You can change your genetics, DNA, and everything that you want actually. Sadhguru says if you go to his advanced programs the initiations are so strong that the face features change over 24h. And these programs are available for everyone who has gone deep enough into Isha.

No no no This is a state where he stops thinking and only impulse is there. In other words, no ego is left only universal force. Read carefully what Whis is says in 2.22min "All hesitation and doubt are gone, all He can feel is himself, an oponent, and a fight but even such perception is growing dim and fades" meaning he no longer feels any bounderies, his perception of everything became one. That's enlightenment alright. Btw, flow state is in many ways same as enlightenment because flow state means no thought, no thought means ego death, ego death means enlightenment -

When I started doing Yoga my first realization was "this is the first time in my life that I'm doing something to bring balance" i realized i never invested a single sec to become more balanced in life until that point -
