Well Einstein said this already a long time ago: "The true value of a human being is primarily determined by the measure and the sense in which he has achieved liberation from the self."

[BrockLanders]

-No desire to compete or compare yourself with others.
-No desire to “improve” yourself or change other people and their viewpoints.
-Complete acceptance of what is, instead of fighting against reality.
-An enlightened being takes life as it is, instead of trying to impose their will in every situation.

Children are enlightened up to the moment when they start learn how the ego works.

So many of these teachings by Sadhguru seem to strike tears of recognition, joy, relief, to validate perceptions and to dispel mistakes. To become free from oneself, no longer bound by memory, is an end to all depression and trauma, and should be studied by every psychologist.

True intelligence is the realization and acknowledgment that you don't know anything and still have so much to learn.

"Just one book, how come it qualifies U to become a representative of God ?" I really like that !!! He's brilliant !

In truth, some people will not recognize enlightened beings. Enlightened beings look like normal people, but they have a Presence about them that you CAN see. I always liked the idea that someone is your teacher if you feel peace in their presence. Sadhguru hit the nail on the head with this one.

We have to protect this man and his teachings with our heart and soul. He is a precious gift to mankind. I feel so lucky and happy to be able to see and hear this teacher of mankind. Promote and share these videos, they are his gift to us all - without adulteration. Thank you Sadhguru. Love and peace. Gene Gibson Warrington UK.

The irony is he always keeps me guessing! He purposely wants us to explore and experience for ourselves...As he quotes "Everything you hear or see is rubbish until you've experienced yourself". Namaskaram🙏

I went through a intense experience of questioning and practicing awareness over 2020 - about 6 months in isolation I had a bit of a revelation. I am typically very skeptical person and don't consider myself really a spiritual person. But I had a revelation where there was a intense light in my head, I was laughing and crying realizing fully everything is connected. I thought I was having a mental breakdown but perhaps realized something else. It was like taking mushrooms.

When you mistake memory for intelligence, education system happens😂😂

Chandogya Upanishad > Quotes > Quotable Quote
“There is a light that shines beyond all things on earth, beyond us all, beyond the heavens, beyond the highest, the very highest heavens. This is the light that shines in your heart.”

Enlightenment is consciously stepping out of the matrix and really seeing for once.

[johnnybigsticks]

I see an enlightened being as someone who is aware of self and surroundings on the non physical/thought level. Part of this involves being aware of the difference between the past and the present moment. This involves identifying a nature of stillness within you as you observe the consistency of the present moment. Memory is only but one part of you.

"Mistaking Memory For Intellegence"...Thankyou Beloved

[turbonbc]

Only the Enlightened can recognize the Enlightened.

[kelvinkersey]

the unenlightened can never recognise the enlightened, that is what being dull means. but the enlightened can recognise the dull...

[utkarshpandey]

This man always comes up with something good everytime you settle with his talks.

[shiv]

His explanation is simple but it has got real deep meaning in it.

Enlightened person can not be recognized from normal person just by his appearance.

Enlightened person does the right thing always, he is pleasant, he is happy with the things around, he sees himself in EVERYBODY.

Being normal, what we know about ourselves is just by the memory.
But, an enlightened person truly knows what he is, what he was (in terms of soul concept).

Sadguru teaches Jnanayoga, meditation techniques to get God realization/enlightenment. Even Budda taught the same.

But the shortest way for enlightenment/god realization is not Jnanayoga, it's Bhaktiyoga (as per the Vedas)
Devotion brings God's grace and gives enlightenment/God realization. If we don't surrender, if we don't become zero, if we don't get a drop of tears, then enlightenment/god realization is not at all possible. Jnanayoga or Bhaktiyoga, we have to put tears.

Whatever the method is (bhakthiyoga, Jnanayoga), result is same (enlightenment/god realization).

I have compassion and respect you Sadhguru, because you are preaching to try to empower your self to get free from yourself, yourself. You don't need a crowd to follow you to be worthy, brother. You don't need to impress. Just keep being kind and quiet and show people presence, don't talk so much trying to prove you are a somebody. ♥
