I don’t answer the question, I always answer the questioner.
Over the years, skeptics, seekers, disciples, and devotees, have asked Sadhguru burning questions about life, death – and everything in between! Sadhguru’s replies have been answers as well as questions – answers that question our misplaced assumptions and conclusions, and questions that trigger answers from the innate intelligence within. While his words may seem to be a marriage of opposites – confusing yet bringing clarity, heartening yet candid – they have always been crafted to the benefit of the people and situations around him.
Sadhguru’s ability to shape language into a tool towards self-realization has unveiled the deeper intricacies of both the human and the larger cosmos. His books and poems offer life-altering perspectives and a taste of existence the way it is.
Sadhguru often says that whichever way you use language, it cannot say anything about the oneness of existence; it can never describe something that is all encompassing. But using words, Sadhguru crafts a path that takes one to the very edge of the realm where duality ends, and Truth is.
Empty
How shall I tell you
my predicament!
Would thinking minds
ever know the brilliance in me
that would put the poor sun to shame,
And it is not me
Would curious minds
ever know the ecstasy
that this grave visage masks,
And it is not me
Would objective minds
ever know that these stern eyes could exude
love that could turn stones into beating hearts,
And it is not me
Oh, how shall I tell you
my predicament!
I am empty but full
Isha
Ocean
An ocean refuses no river
In the ocean of my love
There is space for you,
for him, for her, for this and that
If you have touched the ocean
No point thinking of rivulets
and streams that brought you
In only becoming the salt of its salt
Can one know the ocean.
