Why do you wear an anklet? Sadhguru
-
0:36 - 0:43[Sadhguru] When people come to the ashram, when they come full time or they come to do certain sadhanas,
-
0:44 - 0:48we dont tell them why - only now in the last few years, we have started talking about it.
-
0:48 - 0:52Otherwise, all these years, we never spoke about it. Somebody comes,
-
0:52 - 0:58I always give them a copper ring to wear. They cannot remove it.
-
0:58 - 1:03It must always be there on their finger - on their left hand ring finger.
-
1:04 - 1:09Why this is, is when they do very intense sadhanas you know whats a Samadhi?
-
1:10 - 1:12Samadhi means sama and dhi.
-
1:12 - 1:17Sama means equanimous, dhi means buddhi - equanimous state of intellect.
-
1:17 - 1:21When intellect becomes equanimous, there is no duality.
-
1:22 - 1:26When there is no duality - when you dont know which is me and which is you,
-
1:26 - 1:32now your life energies do not know where to be. So, they may go anywhere.
-
1:33 - 1:37So, the point of contact with the body becomes less and less.
-
1:38 - 1:46It can be brought down to a point where your point of contact with the body is just one pointed.
-
1:46 - 1:50When somebody becomes one-pointed contact, we say Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
-
1:51 - 1:57If somebody, if a person is in this state, if I just do this, he will leave the body for good
-
1:58 - 2:04even a pinprick is enough. Just prick him with a pin, he will leave the body.
-
2:04 - 2:08He will be in such a fragile state. His contact with the body is so minimal.
-
2:08 - 2:13He is elsewhere already, but just one point contact with the body.
-
2:13 - 2:15This is known as Samadhi.
-
2:15 - 2:18When people are in such states, we keep them in protected atmospheres
-
2:18 - 2:22very, very tightly protected atmospheres.
-
2:23 - 2:27Nobody is allowed to go there except a few people who are prepared for such situations.
-
2:29 - 2:34But, when we do certain work, one of the thing was the consecration of Dhyanalinga.
-
2:35 - 2:41We were required to be People who are involved were required to be in such states of samadhi,
-
2:41 - 2:46but at the same time they were required to be intensely active, which is very risky.
-
2:48 - 2:50People can very easily leave the body. One moment of unawareness,
-
2:50 - 2:58they can leave the body and they may not be sometimes able to regain the body.
-
2:58 - 3:01So, certain precautions were taken, everything was done,
-
3:01 - 3:06but when it was coming to a close, certain situations happened which we had to face in so many ways
-
3:06 - 3:15and I had always set my life in such a way once the lingam consecration is over, I will leave.
-
3:15 - 3:19I had planned my life that way. Everything was settled that way.
-
3:19 - 3:23You know, all preparations were made for me to leave.
-
3:23 - 3:27But, because of certain situations, certain changes that happened in the situation,
-
3:27 - 3:30we made efforts to recover the body.
-
3:30 - 3:37In the process of consecrating the lingam, I used my body and my energies so blatantly.
-
3:39 - 3:42Those who have seen me before or if you see my pictures,
-
3:42 - 3:48you will see in just about eight to nine months, I aged almost twenty five to thirty years.
-
3:48 - 3:53You will see my pictures. You know, in eight months time, I have aged almost twenty five - thirty years,
-
3:54 - 4:01because we used the system so blatantly because I never planned to live beyond that.
-
4:01 - 4:06I had my body completely ruined by the time I finished the consecration.
-
4:07 - 4:13You should see my medical reports - my blood work and other CAT scans and other things
-
4:13 - 4:19every day doctors were, you know, diagnosing me with some bizarre disease
-
4:19 - 4:23which is no way to recover or something like that. I have not been through any treatment.
-
4:23 - 4:27In the last four years, we have been working on the system.
-
4:27 - 4:29Today its much better.
-
4:29 - 4:33Accordingly, my activity is increasing. I have not been inactive.
-
4:33 - 4:35I have been constantly active these four years,
-
4:35 - 4:42but it was quite something to keep the body going, but now its so much better.
-
4:42 - 4:50Its not hundred percent yet - still on some kind of support system, but it is so much better, its recovered.
-
4:51 - 4:57So, metal - if you have a metal on your body, you will not leave the body accidentally.
-
4:57 - 5:01So, thats why the ring is always put on people who are doing intense sadhanas.
-
5:02 - 5:04Unknowingly, they may leave the body.
-
5:05 - 5:09So, people were afraid that I will leave and they put a shackle on me.
