Sadhguru on relationship

If ur body goes in search of a relationship, we call this sexuality.
If ur mind goes in search of a relationship, we call this companionship.
If ur emotion goes in search of relationships, we call this love.
If ur energies go in search of relationships, we call this yoga.

All these efforts are just to become one with something else, because somehow being who u are right now is not enough.

Yoga means union. Whatever is the longing behind any relationship, u will never really know that oneness.

But if u experience all this life around u as a part of urself, now the way u exist here will be very, very different. Now relationships will only become a way of looking towards the others' need, not about ur own because u have no need of ur own anymore.
Once there are no compulsions within u and everything that u do become conscious, relationships will become a true blessing, no more a longing, no more a struggle.

A reminder that my role now is to give him love and not to seek love.

(Mar 22 - Father, whenever I pass by trees, suddenly I felt such connection. I can go into humming, singing and even dancing. I just feel their presence. I guess this is my energy in search of relationship.)

Sadhguru
Joy is not something u do; joy is something that u become. Joy is not an achievement,
If u r not entangled with the modifications of ur mind, joyfulness is a natural way.

One knows misery in one's life not because of external circumstance. One experiences misery when one loses control over one's own mind, when one's ability to handle the mind is gone. Outside situations can cause physical pain; suffering and misery are always created in the mind.

Outside situations never happen 100% the way u want it. Not one person in this world is exactly the way u want them to be; not ur husband, not ur wife, parents and etc - nobody.

So, when this the reality, at least this one person - you - must be the way u want to be. If u r the way u want urself to be, the very natural choice is joy. If u become in tune with ur own basic existence, joyful is the only way u will be.

This is so familiar. Sound similar to my Osho card for the week.

Sadhguru
Whenever we involve ourselves in what we do, the ugly part is that people get entangled. When they get entangled, they feel ugly within themselves, and they will make sure everybody has a taste of it too.

So, the fundamental of any game is - If u want to play a game, u must have the fire of wanting to win, but also the balance to see that "if I lose, it is okay with me".
You never play a game to lose, u always play a game to win, but if u lose, it is all right with u.

If u maintain this fundamental with every aspect of life, u r a sport. Wherever u r, whatever u r doing, whatever kind of situation u r in, u r still a sport.
"To play is to live, and to live is to play"

Similar to my take away from the Samurai Game.
