Look beyond compulsions

By SADHGURU JAGGI VASUDEV

When we are physically born, it is the birth of a possibility. Only you can make yourself from a human being to a divine possibility. A possibility that does not become possible is a tragedy, like a seed that does not sprout and a flower that does not bloom.

Brahmacharya means to walk the divine path. They are people who are striving to go beyond their compulsive nature and move into a conscious process of life. The very effort is sacred. Will they rise beyond their limitations today or tomorrow, in 10 years? That’s not the point. The fact that someone is striving to go beyond his compulsive nature, to become a conscious being, is what is significant.

It is said that Gautama had over 40,000 monks around him. Among these monks, there were kings and emperors, and today, the world is enjoying the fruits of his effort. Brahmacharya does not mean just change of clothes and names, it’s a much deeper process. The fruit of that seed, the fruit of that effort, one may not be able to see immediately, because a simple weed outside will flower in three days; but if you want the coconut tree to flower, it takes six years.

If you want to produce something worthwhile, it takes time. But if the seed is right, and the way we nurture it is good, the fruit is bound to happen, there is no doubt about it. If we can function consciously, take away all compulsiveness within us and make every aspect of our life into a conscious process, then we don’t have to worry about ultimate liberation. Brahmacharya is about becoming an instrument of the Divine.

Quote from the true Charm and Power of Vedanta

The power of right thinking must be awakened; that is the first step. We all think, but thought is of two kinds-one kind is constructive it uplifts man to great heights; the other is destructive, it degrades and instead of helping proves a great drawback. Yet the same mind is used for both. It is said in one of the Upanishads. This mind is the cause of bondage and of liberation for all human begins. If attached to the world it becomes bound; if freed from the world that is liberty . How is it that the same mind can play such a double part? Because the mind can either go down ward or it can go upward whichever way we choose to direct it. It is ready to serve us and lead us on war; and if we neglect it. It will bind us and draw us back to the brute plane. Therefore we canot afford to disregarded this important factor; for right thought is the fly wheel of this great machine of human life and unless it revolves properly the machine can do nothing it may even be destroyed if we are not discriminative, we may make mistakes which will prove our ruin.

But, if He exists?

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
