Sacred Seed
"All of us are given a seed that has the possibility of boundlessness. You are very careful and good, so you preserve the seed. I destroy the seed and make it into a tree."
- Sadhguru
In Sacred Seed, Sadhguru deals with moving on from mere survival that all life forms are capable of, to spiritual flowering - the highest possibility offered only to a human being, achieved through the journey inward.
Question: Sadhguru a pupil asked, "Is it best for me master, to walk the straight path or would it be better for me to choose the crooked path, on which my spirit leads me?" The master replied, "He who takes the straight path North sees the North; he who takes the straight path South sees the South; he who takes the straight path East sees the East; he who takes the straight path West sees the West; and he who walks the crooked path, sees all the directions." Please comment.
"If you used your discriminatory mind properly to its fullest extent you would become 'yes and yes'."
- Sadhguru
In 'Saying Yes to Life', Sadhguru lays bare our obsessions with the body and mind, and our limited refrain of 'what's in it for me.' He provides an exit option from our miserly bondage by offering a path to embracing life in its totality.
Question: Sadhguru when you begin to say yes, and when you experience what that yes does to you, and there is this exuberance, like you are melting then around you there is no, what about, then how to go on with that?
