The Pain of Ignorance - Sadhguru

(Sadhguru): So when,

if the longing has risen within you

that you want to know,

you really want to know.

I know this wanting to know sometimes bubbles up

and again gets lost in the daily rig-rang-roll.

Its,

you know the nature of the mind and the body is such,

even the simplest processes of life

could be greatly entangling.

Simple things,

getting up in the morning,

turning up the blinds,

brushing your teeth,

using the toilet,

breakfast,

if you work, work,

whatever these little things

can be highly entangling.

From the moment they wake up,

to the time theyre finishing their breakfast

which is usually just a question of hour or two;

many people are at the peak of agitation.

Isnt it so? (Laughs)

Yes?

Nothing has happened yet,

no calamities have struck yet,

you havent met your boss yet, you know, (All Laugh)

nothing has happened.

You just saw your wife, and your husband or maybe your children;

you know all their tricks, isnt it?

Youve been with them for a few years;

you know all their tricks, nothing to surprise you.

Isnt it so?

Within a few months or in a years time,

you should know all their tricks that they can play.

So, but before reaching the breakfast table

or before you get up from the table,

people are in a peak of agitation.

This is not because there is something wrong with your life,

because nothing has gone wrong yet in the day.

It is simply because

thats the nature of the mind,

if you allow it to rule you thats how you go,

theres no other way.

It doesnt matter whether the life situations are going well

or not going well.

So if this is the nature of your mind,

and this is the way life is going on,

definitely its time.

Definitely it is an urgent need in everybody

that they must look,

they must look at the very nature of their life with a much deeper perspective,

with a much deeper penetration into it. Isnt it so?

The time has come, isnt it?

Most people dont realize that the time has come;

they think they can do it next year.

They think they can do it after two years,

theres no such thing.

If you value your life the time has come;

only if you dont value your life then time hasnt come, isnt it?

If you have any value for this life and this creation,

then the time has definitely come

that we must look at life with its ultimate perspective.

Otherwise maybe there is time,

of course theres a whole eternity ahead of you,

theres really no hurry.

If the longing arises,

the longing genuinely arises in you,

really when your heart cries wanting to know;

when you know the pain of ignorance,

when you really know the pain of ignorance,

then a Master arises.

You dont have to look for him

because if your longing to know has

really picked up a certain intensity within you,

if the pain of ignorance has really,

you know really gone deep into you,

then He will anyway happen.
