Sadhguru - being joyful releases us from the happenings in the external situation

Dec 25

Woke up with both eyes covered in mucus, throat so painful and nose totally blocked. Had to use salt water to cleanse.
Sang guru pooja and did 3 cycles of Surya kriya. Surprisingly was quite good. Shakti was good and Shambavi very nice. Just savouring the Shrine's energy.

Emotion - The Juice of Life by Sadhguru
A human being is constantly seeking to experience life deeper, whether he is aware of it or not. For most people, unpleasantness is the deepest experience in their life. They have never known their true pleasantness within themselves, it has just been on the surface - it has never really gone deep into their life. That's why people with some intensity, like artists, musician, painters, dancers have always sought pain to give depth to their work. Joy did not give depth to their work because they do not know how to depict joy in its highest form and deepest possibility. They have never known true joy. They have known pain, so they deepen their pain and try to depict that pain in their work so that there is depth to it.

Whatever u do, you want to experience life in a bigger way than u are experiencing it right now.  U are consciously seeking a bigger experience, a bigger slice of life for urself. Yoga or spirituality brings a method and a science to that longing so that u put ur roots into the absolute core of life. Then the outside situation will no longer have an impact on u. If this happens, joy is not even the goal of ur life anymore; it is just a side effect.

Sadhana grounds me to my root. Yesterday I was suddenly so overwhelmed with gratitude. I knew I found my roots. No more searching. I m so blessed to found it. Thanks to Sadhguru.

The juice of life
When you are already joyful, whatever happens or does not happen is not an issue. U r released from the fruit of action before u start the action. This is not because u developed some dispassion or renunciation about it. It is simply because u are joyful. Only if u are joyful u can be free from the fruit of action.

Soul
Amen.
