"Either everything is sacred or everything is utter nonsense. These are the two ways of seeing the world. If you're in between, if you see one thing as sacred and another as filthy, you're finished" #sadhguru https://isha.sadhguru.org/au/en/wisdom/audio/everything-is-sacred-or-everything-is-filthy

As far as understand there are two types of self-acceptence. One is you accept acknowledge who you are with all the negative qualities that you have. Or in other words, you are honest to yourself absolutely. That's one type of self-acceptence. Another type of self-acceptence is when you feel ugly, inferior, weaker etc and you try to feel okey about it. It's impossible. Once you make a judgement that you're inferior you will not be happy about it ever. You can't have an idea in your head that you're inferior and feel good about it. One way is to become superior and change your self-image into a possitive one, go to gym, wearing nice clothes etc. Another way is to stop comparing yourself to others. This is a much better way because it deals with the root cause of suffering. You have to figure out how to stop comparing yourself with others. Comparing yourself with others usually comes from a desire to be better then others. That's the only joy that most people know, to be one step ahead of somebody else. You need escape the rat race in other words. You need to realize what is truly important. Is being one step ahead of somebody is important, or having a profound experience of life is important? You need to fix your values in life about what is important. And realize that what everybody thinks of you or what you think of yourself is social nonsense, it has no existencial significence. Btw, you can also stop comparing yourself with others through absolute self-abandonment. Devotion, volunteering, Yoga is extremely effective if it's authentic, basicly all consciousness work can lead you to that place where you don't matter anymore. "Passion for others, dispassion for yourself: highest way of living" that's your answer basicly P.S. "If you win a rat race, you're still a rat" #funny quote by sadhguru

Just realize that you're just a dust on this planet and reduce your self-importence. Bow down to people you talk to. If not physically then mentally.

Interesting

Nobody said anything like that.

Enlightened being would not react blindly or unconciously to the situation. Every action enlightened being creates is a conscious karma. Not a conditioned blind reaction of craving or aversion. P.S. I'm not disagreeing with you I just found myself typing this for no reason . This is true but there's something that dosn't move, something that dosn't generate action. If you tauch that dimension, you can say he's self-realized if you dissolve all karma, all movement then it's ultimate enlightenment.

There's only one purpose on this planet to evey human being, animal, plant or tree or whatever... - to grow and to blossom.

Wellllllll..... Actually it can. It's possible to induce mystical experiences through words. Like sadhguru sayed, book Yoga sutras by Pantajali is not just empty information. The language is sturctured in such a way that when you read the book you also accuare the key to that aspect of life. But only if you're sensitive and reseptive. Even if you don't know the language, even if you just touch the book it can transform you from within. Sadhguru sayed in one of his books that his books are also like that. Idk if all of them but one book for certain is like that, that if you read it, it's not just an empty dry informacition, it's like a transmission. It becomes like a yantra. It becomes alive in you.

Karma means action. Your mental activity. Hammond says mental activity gets triggered by outside situations, people etc. Instead of trying to force your mind to stop, hammond says just observe it. As you observe your thoughts, thoughts start to dissolve by itself naturally. Otherwise if you're unconcious, unaware of your thoughts then thoughts run in circles on and on and on forever creating more and more karma. More and more mental activity. Mental activity is always about a craving or aversion. It's a source of suffering also. More karma you have less equanimous and more restless you'll be. Mental activity is also the basis of your ego/personality/identity. Your identity is just a bunch of likes and dislikes, isn't it? So to trancsend your ego one has to trancsend all cravings and aversions, in other words all mental activity, in other words all karma.

Nice i understood "arigatou gozaimasu" and "Sou desuka" but the rest of it is cosmos for me You speak Japan? Or you just a really serious otaku ?

@bejapuskas haha I feel otaku because I understood the meaning of that word You mean that effortless push? I think he feels another persons center. And somehow moves his whole beingness with another person. He was explaining somewhere a little bit. I think this is the same techneque. Read the comments under that video, people who understand this are going crazy with how much greatness is displayed here Looks familiar like that video above

Pretty much the same thing Ralston is teaching in his leading video. Starts at 7min 12.05 pretty much what Mantak chia is teaching in his iron shirt program.

Here's something interesting I managed to find. Mantak chia shows how deep martial arts really go. Watch first few minutes and listen to the story in 32min mark. You'll probably won't understand but it's sill very mind opening. There was a video where this guy is standing relaxed not even holding his hands up and 3guys are trying to push him and he just directs all their force into the earth. Very funny video, but i can't find it now.

This is so pathetic.. It's the same story all over when people think there's no difference between real Yoga and book Yoga. What you see on the surface it's just 1% of what is happening. What Ralston is teaching here is nothing new. This knowledge was there for thousands of years in martial arts and it's just child's play omg... It's mainy lost now but it's still alive in those have a little bit of brain at least. I saw one video where Mantak chia had 3 guys trying to push him full force and he was just standing totally relaxed, arms down, talking with the audience and laughing. Martial arts is so beyond your understanding... If you think you did Muiy Thai and now you think you understand all the ticks and mechanics of human system.... It takes a lifetime of enlightenment work to understand what Ralston is doing. Sadhguru sayed it took him 3lifetimes to understand Yoga completly. So don't compare your meek boxing knowledge with enlightened beings. Your arrogance and ignorance is over the roof

Why do you guys find this so hard to believe. It's just a tip of the iceberg of what is possible lol

@David Hammond so it's like being mindful of your feelings and thoughts and sensations all day without sitting in one place with your eyes closed?

@David Hammond was vippassana your main practice? Do you still practice it? That's pretty cool

Lol sadhguru's quotes always find me when I need them the most. i agree Self-abandonment means dropping attachment to your self-image, meaning you can look like a total fool and still be okey because self-image means nothing to you. That's the only way to truly accept yourself. Then you trully don't care about other people's opinions anymore. All the other methods like love yourself, believe in yourself, respect yourself, is all nonsense that reinforces your attachment to your self-image and causes more anxiety, more stress, more obssesiveness about your self-image. The simple way to put it: self-abandonment leads to freedom from other people's opinions. Could be interpreted that self-abandonment leads to self-acceptence also but it's too misleading so i avoid that word. Actually self-abandonment doesn't lead to self-acceptence, it leads to being okey always no matter how you look. It's a subtle difference. Self-acceptence is more like: "I don't like myself but I've accepted it" Self-abandonment is more like: "who the hell cares how I look" Later is true freedom.

You're suffering from a poor self-image, you're afraid to look like a fool. Rather then trying to create a good self-image, focus on doing great things. Exploring the world. Being happy. Having adventures. Breaking your limitations. Blossoming into your full potential etc. This is exciting by itself. You won't have time to think about how anybody else is doing. All that matters is that you have a profound and intense experience of life. Focus on yourself, focus on growing more and more relentlessly. That's all that matters in life. P.s. if you're afraid of looking like a fool the answer is not self-acceptence but self-abandonment. Please don't fall for this self-esteem crap.

4. "All i care about is to be happy and blossom into my full potential, and I wish the same to others" If you think I can only be happy if I stand on top of everybody, then you're a sick person. It means you're enjoying other people's failure

But that video is very good. It's about you

Everybody who do some kind of energy transmission or reiki or Shakti pat or whatever, they will take on other people's karma. That's why sadhguru says. That's why many yogis descide not to teach anything, they just leave their knowledge on a mountain and leave. Sadhguru says there're huge consiquences if you want to go into the world enlightening people. You don't have to believe it. Even if you're just a dumb psychiatrist, if work long enough, you will gather a lot of negative emotions by being around lots of suicidal depressed people. They will slowly rub off on you. But it's much much stronger when you do this kind of work with energy and spirituality. Then karma is much much bigger. @Mikael89
