Truth is the Authority, not the Authority is Truth!

The main problem with living Guru's (Humans) is that inevitably we will judge them via how we perceive them with our 5 senses, and form a conclusion of sorts, and then we either follow, worship, become obsessed with, or the opposite disengage, hate/dislike, put down and fight against or just ignore, just because of what we perceive from this person, how they look, how they talk, what they are talking about, what actions they perform, etc.. Its almost unavoidable..

Problem is we can be missing allot of help and guidance when this happens, its like a rock can be a Guru of sorts, but we devalue a rock because we think it is basically useless, but they aren't.. What can you learn from a rock, lots of things..

The lesson is too just use the Guru in this case, don't judge too much.. Use discretion of course but don't draw conclusions and go one way or the other, if the information and methods given are useful for You then use it, if not move on..

Bruce Lee said this regarding his Jeet Kune Do philosophy about Martial Arts Training "Accept what is Useful, Disregard what is Useless. Add what is Specifically Your Own!", in the case of Spirituality if Your a newbie then don't add what is Your own, since You don't know what Spirituality is, if You have experience then it applies well! In the end its up too You!

The Key aspect is that Truth cannot be given to You verbally or by reading a book, You have to Experience It.. The Methods offered by many don't give You the Truth, they just take away all of the things that are preventing You from Realizing You are the Truth Embodied!

Mind is fixed, Body is healed and healthy, Emotions are understood, Energy Intensities are increased safely, things of this nature!

@IshangaThe truth is you are dreaming sadhguru and hes not even real. Hes a part of your dream. Hes the dream distracting you.

Once this is done, then Your Free to Explore Life beyond Survival level of living, "What about Me" or Ego lowers in intensity of Experience.. If Ego is very alive in You, then so is Survival level of living and self concern, that is like taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back, You don't go anywhere fast that way, 

With Peace and Ease as a natural Experience then one goes full speed ahead, the Guru is a living example of this that we can actually see and be inspired by!

The Authority in today's world are those that want to be a so called Leader, not to make things go right for the most part, but to enhance their own Ego, it makes them feel good to be above Others.  Only once in awhile we do get a true Leader that is born for it that is not about Ego but about Leading Others to Higher Ground and More Empowerment, in that case Use the Leader/Authority as an Example so You can learn what to do and what not to do in certain areas of Life!!

Sadhguru didn't eat the whole day

May I ask what was the point of posting this? Is it something we should be impressed of? I get the notion, but have you not fasted much yourself? or been around children or busy when eating is not of primary importance but service? Because hunger should not control us at all. This is not something only a highly realized person can do, but everyone can and even does it unconsciously at times, children do it naturally all the time, without ego.

I feel you place him way "too high" that you never actually realize the deeper self or truth. This is often what happens in these dynamics, where people are caught up in the (glow) of the 'savior' which leaves them never realizing that they themselves as just as bright and brilliant.

The lady in the video is a perfect example of this, she is feeding on a temporary light, or a false-high almost, when he is not there or she is not in that environment, how soon that state will fade? because they themselves are borrowing light, not igniting it from within.

Its the same thing with those who use the term "higher self" or relying on "higher guides" ect... they are always left separated and distant from Knowing and embodying their "true self". You have to eventually transcend the guru entirely, that's what a real guru will aim to do, not to create followers, but individuals, wayshowers, self-realized masters. This is why I am always extra cautious and observant of these guru's with many followers.

I only comment because I notice you post a lot of his videos in responses, and I feel there is a danger there that can prevent actual growth and embodiment. Maybe somethings you could simply reflect upon a bit more. Hope this helps.
