Sadhguru's ability to be unbothered is absolutely incredible

[FrankElaridi]

Meditation is being in the moment. I meditate while being present doing the dishes!

[Licht]

Immediately my master knew what to say, his illumination makes me speechless. I bow down to you, my beautiful guru🙏

Yess I meditate about 7 hours daily with my eyes open and mind closed, At my college during teachers teach😂😂😂😂

When someone reaches a real state of happiness I believe that they're experiencing this state of meditation without realizing it and thus the meditation happens naturally without bias towards the environment as the meditator, the meditation, and the environment, are all one in that moment of act that is "being happy together" which in turn brings true inner happiness without a yearning for more.

I think first we have to define what meditation means, to answer his question

Peace and love🌈❤️

I can only actively meditate with my eyes open, Ive naturally done this since a child. I can only "see" if my eyes are open

[Princeuniquelife]

I think meditating with eyes open helps focus.

Unfortunately I have to disagree with Sadhguru. Meditating with your eyes (partially) open is a Soto Zen Buddhism practice called Shikantaza. You don't focus on breath or a mantra or the heart or anything else, you simply sit and experience being.

Well I have attempted to do both. I did my first meditation yesterday, spooked me by the way, felt my crown burning, swift away for a bit..very odd, my eyes were closed and lying in my bed, probably not the best way to do it but taking account it was my first and saw (not literally) blue aura around me I would say.. I would say something woke up. We have to look for what is comfortable and the most relaxing way, I think or wanna think. For me my bed, I love sleeping and that relaxes me, seems like I can actually not fall asleep while I did this meditation. I was aware of me. Today I attempted to do it with eyes opened and sitting down cross legged. But my mind created some type of illusion, as if I was sitting in the middle of a river. I thought that wasn't the point...idk..I'm new I still have to learn and find out things, but I want to do it also discovering it myself without looking into it too much so I know I'm not making things up lol

Sadguru one year today I had seen you in a programme in Lucknow....feeling blessed...thank you

[mayme]

Finally got an answer! Sometimes i get that meditation twitch in the left side of my forehead without having the intention to meditate I'm like huh no not now 😂

The basic thing is using attention on visual or creating thought consumes too much prana, thats why during meditation it is a norm to not think or speak in mind (Thinking involves:- generating audio, Generating visual) By shutting off these prana consuming processes, more prana goes in body and energies Energy channels and different chakras and will also enhance the ability of not creating thought

0:22 The question really opened up Sadhguru's eyes :) Ha ha ha! One could tell a story was coming after that moment. Too funny!

[neilECM]

Is meditated a while looking at the wall a few years ago. I wanted the white wall to turn into blue and it did turned into blue.
Right now I meditated focusing on the door, I saw the door changing shape and colour several times: it moved like it was alive.

[roshikadhakal]

People who scroll comments while learning meditation will never learn meditation
