Blossoming As An Individual

Sadhguru relates the story of a Rose plant and how it transforms from a thorn bush to a beautiful flower. Something totally new has come about and though the thorns still remain, the flower is what everyone is looking at. He explains how Yoga is a science and technology to nurture the mind, body, emotions and energy, so that a human being can truly blossom.

Yogi, mystic and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference. An arresting blend of profundity and pragmatism, his life and work serves as a reminder that yoga is a contemporary science, vitally relevant to our times.

We need to understand the difference between transformation and change.

When we say transformation,

The word transformation means that nothing of the old remained,

Something totally new flowered within you.

Now you look at a rose plant full of thorns.

Springtime came and rose flowers burst out.

It is a transformation.

The thorns are still there.

If one flower blossoms,

People are willing to forget all the thorns in you.

So setting yourself right does not mean plucking off all the thorns and straightening yourself out and those people who have strived to straighten themselves out,

They become so straight,

Nobody wants to be with them.

If something in you blossoms,

People are willing to overlook all the thorns that are there in you.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Even though there are so many thorns in the rose flower and just a few roses,

So that's all that needs to happen within you.

You can't blossom.

At least in one single dimension if you blossom,

Then all the other things will be forgotten by people.

That's all that needs to happen.

So if that has to happen,

What we should do?

You can't pull a flower out of a plant,

But every day you nourish the root,

Flower will happen,

Isn't it?

So how to nourish the roots of who you are?

You have a mind,

You have an emotion,

You have a body,

But all these things are functioning only because your life energies are functioning.

If you make your life energies properly balanced and in full vibrance,

Your body,

Mind and emotion will be in its best possible condition.

So there is a whole science and technology as to how to do this.

It is this technology that is referred to as yoga.

I could listen to him all day. I got a wonderful nugget of insight in those two minutes. Thank you 🙏🏼 Namaste

Always great but this was too short and got cut off.

That was beautiful!

Sadhguru's words are always so simple yet so relevant and powerful.

Nourishing🙏🏻💫🦋a bit short though ❤️

Beautiful explanation. Explains seeking wholeness, not perfection. Wholeness incorporates the thorns but the blossoming flowers of the true spirit are three focus while perfection attempts to remove the thorns, which is futile as the plant can not exist without them.

Thank you for this.

The recording was a little thorny but the Rosey message was wonderful as always 🕉️🙏🕉️

A great thought to start the day. Nourish your roots.

Beautiful concept

I am grateful for this message. Simple but powerful. There appears to be some technical issue with the track. Still the message was able to be heard. Namaste
