Sadhguru - sadhana cleanses the vessel

May 29

Woke up 4.55 am. But feel sleepy. Normally today is off day so 7 am but got to wake up early cos medical check up.
Doze bit.
Did Bhuta Shuddhi followed by Surya Kriya preparatory steps. Try to do Surya Kriya but can't do lying down. In the end decide to drop it as its near to 6 am.
Did Shakti with slow Kapala Bhakti. But right foot hurting. So was just okay.
Did a very quick Shambavi. Forego preparatory steps.
After Shambavi went into deep meditative zone. Difficult to come out.

Sadhguru
Encounter the Enlightened.
Sadhguru urged us to examine not only our actions but our very tot processes. The distortion of the mind - it's delusions and chaos to be examined thoroughly.

Soul
This morning tots of the trafficked immigrants came in. I recently read about them. When it comes in I knew how much our mind capture. I need to be more resilient on what my mind see or read.
I can't prevent mind from recording and churning but I have a choice of what I let my mind record.

Sadhguru
The nature of mind is always to accumulate.
When it is gross, it wants to accumulate things;
when it is a little more evolved, it wants to accumulate knowledge.
When emotion become dominant, it wants to accumulate people.

It does not matter what you accumulate, the need to accumulate means there is an insufficiency.
If one brings sufficient awareness and above all a constant sadhana, a practice into his life, slowly the vessel becomes empty. Awareness empty the vessel. Sadhana cleanses the vessel. When these two aspects are sustained for a sufficiently long period, then ur vessel becomes empty.
Only when emptiness arises, Grace descends upon u. Without Grace, nobody really gets anywhere.
If u become empty enough for Grace to descend then the Ultimate is not far away for the Grace to descend, then the Ultimate Nature is not far away. It is here to be experienced. It is here to be realised. It is going beyond all dimensions of existence into an exalted state. It becomes a living reality.

Soul
I m not sure if I am empty enough. I know Grace has descended on me. All my experience is beyond my sense. It can only happen with Grace.

Sadhguru
If I want to jump, if u want to jump the line and do not want to go through the struggle of being aware, then one must be so innocent that one can simply, absolutely surrender oneself.
Surrendering is not something u do. Surrendering is something that happens when u are not.
When u lose all will, when u have no will of ur own, when u have become absolutely willing that there is nothing in u that u call urself, then Grace descend on u.
But I will always insist stick to the path of awareness and sadhana. If u naturally jump the line, that's is wonderful, but if u try to jump the line, then u will see, u will simply deceive urself because it cannot be done. It can only happen. It is not capability that can be made to happen.

Soul
Mmmm. At first was thinking mine was Jump. Now not sure. Sadhana definitely. Awareness of myself I m cultivating.

Sadhguru
The web of bondage is constantly being created only by the way we think and feel.
Whatever we are calling as awareness is just to start creating a difference between all that u think and feel and yourself.
What we refer to as sadhana is an opportunity to raise ur energies so that u can tide over these limitations or those mechanism through which u have entangled urself to ur tot and mechanism.

Soul
Truly volunteering is a tool, another sadhana. For me the Kriya practices is my sadhana.

Sadhguru
U should learn, should mature and sprout into the possibility within urself where u can simply sit with me, not gathering, simply sitting.

Soul
That's what I love best. Simply siting and let the energy carry me.
I m not so into videos. Books still okay.
My presence is just to sit with Sannidhi.
