Transcript

I think it's a good thing.

Being… trying to be morally good.

See you're… Let's say you're children.

You're good to them as far as you know how to be.

Are you good to them because of morality?

Because somebody has told you,

You should not kill your children.

Is that the reason why you're not killing them?

Are you being good to your children and not killing them because somebody has told you that you must be good to your children?

That is good morals?

Is it so?

So why are you so good to them?

Why do you love them?

Why not somebody else?

Why are they your children?

Because in some way you see them as a part of yourself,

Isn't it?

In some way you see them as a part of yourself.

Though they grow up and turn your enemies sometimes,

Still somewhere as far as you are concerned,

You see them as a part of yourself that you're able to look beyond all their nonsense,

All their problems,

All their everything and still reach out to them,

Isn't it?

Simply because you see them as a part of yourself.

Yes,

That's all the thing is,

Isn't it?

So anything that you experience as a part of yourself,

With that you don't need morality,

Obviously.

Isn't it so?

Yes?

Are you understanding what I'm saying?

Because you just leave out one step and when we go there again,

You go back to the number one step.

So anything that you experience as a part of yourself,

With that you do not need any morality.

Is it so?

Yes.

You don't have to try to be good.

Morality means you're trying to be good,

Isn't it?

So yoga means to experience everything as a part of yourself.

Right now,

Let's say you gave birth to a child.

It could have happened to many of you,

You don't know.

And in the hospital,

They interchange your children with somebody else.

You bring this child,

This was born biologically to somebody else,

But you believe this is yours and you love this child any less?

Your involvement with the child any less?

Your DNA not there,

But still you love it?

So it is just your willingness to include somebody who you're capable.

It is not that it has to come from your body.

It is just that if you're willing,

It's possible,

Isn't it?

If you're little more sensible,

Maybe you adopted a child and love this child as much as anybody.

Why you did not bear your wife or your husband,

Do you?

They were born by somebody else and generally your husbands were born by that horrible woman called mother-in-law,

But you love that man,

Isn't it?

Isn't it so?

So it is just a question of your willingness.

If you're willing,

You can experience everything as a part of yourself.

When you experience everything as a part of yourself,

You do not need morality.

When you know the vulgarity of what is you and what is not you,

Only then you need morality.

Otherwise,

No morality.

When there's a person who experiences everybody as himself,

Need morality.

In morals,

You're only trying to be good,

You will never become good,

Please see this.

You can hold back your hands,

But you can't hold back your mind,

Isn't it?

Can you?

You can hold back your physical body,

Can you hold back your mind?

It goes everywhere and does everything,

Isn't it?

Thank you🙏🏽 Sadhguru for this awesome meditation🧘🏽‍♀️. It was very well received. What a concept!🥰 When you experience everything as a part of yourself, you don’t need morality, because morality becomes a part of you ... morality IS you. For example: Why do you NOT kill your children👶🏽? You don’t kill them, because they are a part of you ... they come from you ... you love❤️ them.😘 If you love❤️ yourself, you don’t want to hurt😞 yourself. If you don’t love❤️ yourself, remember that there is always someone in your midst that loves💕 you unconditionally.🥰 Anytime you feel that no one loves💕 you, remember that person who does love❤️ you, who stands in the gap for you, who thinks🤔 about you, even when you’re not thinking🤔 about them. Remember that person is me!😘 I embody all the love❤️ and positive healing energy vibrations that the Universe💫 gives me, and I send those beautiful love💕 vibrations your way each and every day that I breathe. When I AM no longer breathing, I will still send those positive healing energy vibrations your way, because I AM always living, even when others believe that I AM not. This was the message I received today from my mom, who transitioned to the spiritual realm a little over a year ago. So today, 5/1/2020, I can officially proclaim that the long bout of depression that I’ve been carrying for over 14 months, is officially OVER!🙌🏽🎉🙏🏽🥰🤲🏽🌙⭐️ I know that we walk as One☝🏽... I AM a part of you, and you are a part of me, because we embody each other as One☝🏽 in this Universe💫. I AM that I AM ... and today “that” is beyond morality AND mortality. Namasté🙏🏽🥰🤲🏽🌙⭐️ #healthyveyebsmeditations #healthyveyebsonly #ramadan #ramadanmubarak #happyramadan #ramadankareem #numbingsoulution #depression #depressionofchronicillness #nomoredepression #happiness
