Life is a Guided Missile

Sadhguru looks at how all life is longing to get to the ultimate nature. But most human beings are in a “brake” mode. Yoga is just to take the leg off the brake pedal.

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.

Life has no purpose.

Life has a purpose unto itself.

If you don't block it,

If you don't stand as one big barrier,

Life will naturally find its ultimate nature.

This life is designed to find its own ultimate nature.

You don't have to do anything.

You stand aside,

It'll find its purpose.

Life has to reach its peak,

Its ultimate potential.

All life is longing to get there,

But you are brakes.

You are somebody who wants to drive your car with brakes on.

Very hard.

That's why spirituality is so hard,

Because people are driving their cars with brakes on,

Locked.

That's a very hard way to drive,

You know.

So all this yoga is just to take your leg off the brake pedal,

It's so difficult.

Because security,

You know,

When you're driving,

If you feel little insecure,

Which is the pedal you will touch?

Brake.

When your whole life is about security,

Your foot is on the brake pedal,

Total,

And you're trying to go somewhere.

That's a real adventure,

Isn't it?

If you're not bothered,

If you take your leg off the brake pedal and simply sit,

Let it go wherever it goes,

It'll not go anywhere except to its ultimate goal.

It'll go only there,

Nowhere else but there.

Really,

If you don't disturb it,

It just seeks its own nature.

You don't have to do anything about it.

But to not to do anything,

Tch,

You're so concerned about your security,

Will you take your foot off the brake pedal?
