Sadhguru "Don't talk Bhakti now, you'll just deceive yourself."

  • 0:25 - 0:27
    Somebody who has so many questions
  • 0:27 - 0:31
    should never talk about Bhakti. [All laugh]
  • 0:31 - 0:35
    Because Bhaktaas (those who have Bhakti) have no questions.
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    That's why I'm telling you.
  • 0:38 - 0:41
    For you people, I'm keeping the Bhakti out.
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    Because, you are incapable of devotion.
  • 0:46 - 0:50
    If we talk devotion, you will end up deception.
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    So, better just slice everything and look what is inside.
  • 0:53 - 0:58
    Because, your mind is made like this-
  • 0:59 - 1:01
    If I give you this and say,
  • 1:01 - 1:04
    "You should never open this."
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    "You should never open this, just keep this with you.
  • 1:10 - 1:12
    This will take you to heaven."
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    [Laughs]
  • 1:17 - 1:22
    In your sleep, you will sleepwalk, and go and open it. [All laugh]
  • 1:22 - 1:23
    Isn't it so?
  • 1:23 - 1:25
    So, that's the kind of mind you have.
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    So don't talk Bhakti now.
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    We will see, when those things change,
  • 1:29 - 1:30
    we'll talk Bhakti.
  • 1:30 - 1:35
    Because, I'm not here to propound Philosophies for you.
  • 1:35 - 1:39
    I'm here, just to give you a method that works
  • 1:39 - 1:43
    for you, not for somebody else.
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    There were some great Bhaktaas somewhere,
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    where he was dripping with ecstasy. It doesn't matter.
  • 1:50 - 1:52
    That's not for you.
  • 1:52 - 1:56
    I'm not saying, "You'll never be capable of that."
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    But, right now, with a thinking mind,
  • 1:59 - 2:03
    a mind which likes logic more than anything else,
  • 2:03 - 2:05
    with this mind don't talk Bhakti.
  • 2:05 - 2:08
    You'll just deceive yourself.
  • 2:08 - 2:11
    When such a thing comes, that your mind
  • 2:11 - 2:15
    and what your mind says is no more significant to you,
  • 2:15 - 2:16
    then Bhakti will naturally come.
  • 2:16 - 2:19
    You don't have to do anything about it.
  • 2:19 - 2:20
    But right now, what your mind says
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    is very important for you. Isn't it?
  • 2:23 - 2:24
    Yes or no? [Crowd] Yes.
  • 2:24 - 2:27
    Where what your mind says is important for you,
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    do not talk Bhakti.
  • 2:29 - 2:32
    It'll be a waste of time and life.
