Sadhguru - Devotion vs Addiction

Nov 9 aft

Sadhguru
Devotion and addiction are only connected on the level of experience, nowhere else. You should not even look at them together, but in terms of experience, they have a common ground. Both of them create an extremely pleasant experience. What devotion means is that your emotions have become very sweet. A devotee may look like a mad man to somebody else. For an intellectual person, the ways of the devotee may look utterly foolish. But you tell me, if you can spend 24 hours in utter pleasantness, is that intelligence? Or going through all kinds of turmoil in your mind that has nothing to do with the reality, is that intelligence? You have this choice in your life.

With drugs and addiction, both the body and the mind shrink. The physical capabilities will shrink and the mental capabilities will shrink. As a human being you are not enhanced, you are destroyed. However, devotion makes you hugely enhanced. You can do things that you never thought you could because there is no limitation on you.

Addiction shrinks you, devotion enhances you. Both of them could be pleasant experiences. Addiction can give you moments of pleasantness.
Devotion gives you a constant sense of pleasantness, but the most important thing is that it enhances you, expands you, and makes you all-inclusive.
Addiction pushes you to a corner, makes you totally exclusive to a point where most people become neurotic or broken with anxiety and depression.
So one enhances you, another destroys you. That’s the big difference.

Me now a devotee.
Yesterday just couldn't help but light up Devi and Dhynalinga yantra. Without them, the feel of energy space is different. With them, it is sweeter.
Sadhguru Sannidhi provides the foundation of silence, Dhynalinga and Devi provides the top notes.
Amen.
Best investment in my life.
Amen.
