Sadhguru - when you are blissful, only then you can be mystical

Jun 11
Woke up at 3.45 am. Body is fine despite sleeping about 11 pm. Nose is truly blocked and throat a bit painful from dry cough.
Did Bhuta Shuddi and sang guru pooja. Angarmadhana was okay not as good as yesterday. Surya kriya's feet alignment is good. Breathing is good. Shakti is abridged due to menses. Shambavi is good and I spent a long time sitting watching my breathe. By the time I was done it was 7.16 am, 15 minutes more than my alarm. Forgot to put alarm.

Earlier today suddenly had tots of Z. Wanted to make amends. Not sure why. This week card on The Dream is true.
I checked our relationship card and it seems okay, asking me to proceed. But I don't want. I think just compulsion. I am fine on Y as we never got together but not on Z. Besides I replied to him cordially on his message of condolence.
Then I did the Symbolo tarot card and it also said about me wanting my partner so I can have love. But do I have love to give in return? Why am I looking for outside love? 
With that I stopped my compulsion.

Of Mystic and Mistakes
Spiritual process is about removing the foundations of the physical so that a dimension beyond the physical becomes the main force in ur life.
Being peaceful, being loving, being compassionate, being gentle, being kind, being pleasant to each other is just a civility.  Anybody with a little sense understand that if u don't maintain a pleasant demeanour in the world, everybody else will give u double unpleasantness for the unpleasantness that u shared with them.
Unfortunately, most of the time in spiritual processes is wasted in inculcating these qualities because most people have not even learned that it is a sensible thing to do.

In terms of experience, we want to make this (referring to the self) very pleasant. We want this to be blissful, ecstatic. But as I said before, even being ecstatic is not a goal by itself. If u are blissful by ur own nature, then the important thing is that u are no more the issue. There are other issue in this existence, we can look at those.
But if u are an issue, what other issue will u take in ur hands? U will not touch anything. When I am enough trouble myself, why do I want to take this one or that one? When I am no more an issue, now I am willing to dig into the whole existence and see what it is all about.

So mysticism evolved only in those places where people learned the technology of being ecstatic by their own nature.

Keeping urself pleasant itself is a great challenge, and it is a full time job. Isn't it so? The pursuit of happiness has become a goal of life itself. Happiness is not the Z of life. It is the A of life. It is not the end-product of life. It is not something that u achieve. It is something that u start with. That is the square one of life. As children we all started joyful.

Only if you are blissful u will truly explore all aspects of life. Otherwise u will not dare too. If maintaining a little bit of pleasantness within u is such a big challenge, where is the question of taking bigger challenge.

Soul
Now I understand why Sadhguru like joyful people. Cos then there is hope for them to explore more. Then his work can go to another level.
