Sadhguru: if you look into your own mind,

if you look into your own persona

of what you consider yourself to be,

normally what you call as a personality

is essentially different levels of constipation (Few laugh).

I don’t like this,

I can't stand this,

I can't do this,

I can't do that,

I only like this,

I cannot like that-

different levels of constipation.

What causes this constipation?

Constipation in its physiological sense

means constriction of a tract.

Here, it’s constriction of one’s mind and consciousness

that it’s held,

there is no free flow of life,

its restricted because

your ability to experience your life

is only through the instruments of your body and your mind.

Either your body or your mind in some way constricted means

your ability to experience life also gets constipated.

This happens in many ways (Laughs),

you will be surprised,

many of you think you grown out of those things

but when you are ten years of age

your mama tch,

your uncle I mean (Few laugh).

Your mama said something,

he called you an idiot.

Now, you are fifty

but still forty years ago he called you an idiot,

it still bothers you,

when you see his face, he called me an idiot!

Like this it goes on.

The more concretized your persona is

or your personality is,

the more nicks and wounds you carry upon yourself.

And these are not physiological wounds to heal

because they are self-inflicted wounds

these are being carried as badges of life’s experience,

so they don’t go.

Because of this-

I like this guy,

I don’t like this guy,

I love this person, I hate this person,

I can't stand this person,

all this has happened.

Next twenty-four hours you must do this -

all these mamas’, friends, enemies, nonsense…

you don’t have to tell them, I love you,

not necessary.

Within yourself you must come to a total sense of acceptance of everything.

So, somebody said something,

somebody did something,

somebody stepped on your foot,

somebody stepped on your head,

twenty-four hours tch, just small prescription

only for twenty-four hours come to an absolute acceptance of everything -

your mental things,

your emotional things,

your bodily things,

every damn thing and the social things,

just simply accepting it as it is.

You don’t have to do anything with anybody,

just within yourself.

If you just do this

life will happen on a larger scale.
