Shekhar: yesterday,
I went through this amazing experience with you
it was a collective experience
and then I saw your relationship
with the meditators who were the volunteers in this incredible course that we did
and
there was something that connected you...now
I've heard stories about this. I've heard that as Jesus walked in, he spread his love
and we always wondered,
how could you just spread love. I saw that yesterday,
but I saw
tears in their eyes
we could explain that
but I saw tears in your eyes
because I saw a two-way relationship
so let's just keep with this idea of a Guru and tell me, what is this two-way because
I saw you
like a devotee, you know you were like them
when you were talking...when you went to them
it was not just their emotion, it was yours
Sadhguru: See,
here...
you're using the word devotee
I don't know whether they are devoted or not
my life is devoted to them
Okay. That's for sure.
my whole life is devoted to every human being on this planet, every creature on this planet
so
devotion is just a deeper love affair
when I say a deeper love affair
generally
these days atleast, people are understanding a love affair is some kind of a transaction of
give and take
devotion is a deeper love affair of just absolutely giving
whether take is there or not just doesn't matter and it doesn't occur in your mind
so for me my love affair
is just with everything that I set my eyes upon
whether it's a man, woman, child, animate, inanimate, it doesn't matter
whatever I set my eyes upon
I'm in a
deep embrace with that
so for me to come to tears, I don't even have to look at a human being, if I look at a cloud
I'll come to tears, if I look at a tree I come to tears.
If I close my eyes, I'll come to tears
so tears
is not even about love
if you tell me I'm in love with people
I wouldn't feel
that's a great thing. I feel you're lowering the whole thing. I'm not in love
because love is still a kind of a transaction
this is a certain dimension of inclusiveness
actually in my experience
there is
nobody else in this planet
nobody else in this existence. It's just me.
In my experience
I don't see myself and somebody else. I just see myself
so
this is not even devotion, this is not even love
this is just inclusiveness
and this is not my idea
this is not my philosophy, this is the way existence is
if you do not constipate your consciousness
by being identified with limited things
like your own body, your own mind, your own culture, your own religion,
your own family, your own whatever, your own species for that matter,
if you do not constipate your consciousness with that kind of limitations
the existence is all inclusive
well science can prove it to you today, isn't it?
Shekar: the moment people see you even from a distance
there's a sudden outpouring of love
complete outpouring of love
so let's talk about love. This is one kind of a love.
Is there...
what happens...is there something, is it a release, that could be one thing because they see you
and
their own stresses and emotions release. On the other hand
is there some kind of energy that you're transmitting to them
is that energy possible only in a loving relationship
even between you and the people or between people themselves
what is that energy called love?
and then let's relate it to man and woman because that's the love most of us know
love or hate whichever way you like it but let's talk about love
Sadhguru: There is no such thing as
an energy that is love
life is a certain energy
you are a certain life energy
the are many parts of...
this life energy
is finding expression as thought,
as body, physical action
emotion
and there are other dimensions of course, energy action.
if you can perform
only physical activity in your life
the span and the scope of that activity is very limited
Because you empower your physical activity with your mental activity
depending upon the keeness and the intensity of your mental activity, your physical activity takes
on a different level of...
as if it moves into a different dimension, because
of the mental activity.
if you make a movie
if it's all physical
it's one way.
There is a certain intellect involved in it, it's another way
There's a certain emotion involved in it, it's another way, isn't it so?
so that's so with life also
so these are different levels of intensity. Physical is at one level of intensity
intellectual is another level of intensity, emotion is a different level of intensity
generally people are looking down upon emotion as something less than intellect
which is a very wrong thing they are doing
which I think, slowly people are realizing, they're talking about
emotional intelligence now.
because
emotion is capable of being of a higher intensity
than intellect in many ways.
intellect has a certain coolness
intellect has a certain penetration
but emotion
can just embrace everything
intellect can know pieces of life
emotion can know the wholeness of life
so, this is the reason why, spiritual traditions always, have made devotion the biggest thing
because a devotee looks like a fool to an intellectual person
but what a devotee knows
in terms of life's experience
and what he knows in terms of perception
of life
in its totality
an intellectual person will never touch that.
so a devotee looks like a fool
but the real fool is elsewhere.
So right now what's happening here when people are around me
is neither intellect nor emotion nor body.
It's another dimension
which is just pure
reverberation of energy.
If I reverberate in a certain way
some people will roll their eyeballs upward and simply sit there
some people will cry
some people will laugh
some people feel
that they realized so many things being there in that space.
This is their expression of it. This is like
if I give you electric connection
somebody makes light out of it
somebody makes sound out of it
somebody makes coolness out of it, somebody makes heat out of it
Different gadgets are making different things out of the same electricity
so my thing is just to exude
that energy
somebody makes love out of it, somebody makes
alertness out of it, somebody makes awareness out of it
somebody makes meditativeness out of it
that's left to that individual depending upon
his level of evolution and his receptivity as to how he is.
So am I creating a love energy.
There's no such thing as love energy, there's just life energy.
There is only life energy.
you can...
love is just one expression of life
intellect is another expression of life
physical action another expression of life; awareness another expression of life
so life can find
million forms of expression
but
people eulogising one over the other
is a huge mistake
all of them are needed
love
without the needed awareness and balance is going to be
horribly burdensome
isn't it?
so what you're referring to as love
is basically
the sweetness of your emotion
you sit here
and you could feel about love
you could feel love about somebody who is not even here
so it's got nothing to do with anybody
once a human being becomes more and more aware of his own nature
he understands
to experience love
to experience blissfulness
to experience ecstasy, even to experience orgasmic ways of life
you don't need anybody actually
if you just sit here
you can make it happen within yourself
because after all it's your body
it's your mind, it's your emotion, it's your chemistry
and you are the one
who is creating all the experiences of your life
because people are not conscious of this
that you are the maker of your life
you are the one who is doing your life the way you want it
most people still believe that their experiences are being shaped by people and situations
around them
but that's not true
human experiences are
one hundred percent
self created. One hundred percent.
