Sadhguru and Lewis Howes discuss how to manifest what you want through emotional independence and conscious love. They explore karma, fulfillment, and practical spiritual approaches to creating abundance and well-being in relationships and life.
Do not think in terms of abundance. Think in terms of a fulfillment of life. If you are a fulfilled life according to your competence, according to your capability, according to the times in which you live, nothing makes you better. The only thing is.
When people are in a relationship and there seems to be a wave of joy and love and acceptance and then Other days, maybe it's anger or resentment or frustration. How do we move out of that and more into acceptance and conscious love as opposed to control or manipulation or, well, you need to do this to make me happy. How do we expand beyond that?
See, first of all, you must decide, is your life in pursuit of happiness or is it an expression of joy?
Is it in the pursuit of happiness or expression of joy?
Tell me in your life, when you are expressing your joy, was that the best moment? Or when you are pursuing happiness, was that the best moment?
The joy.
Yes. So why is it that you have not done that? Because you still believe there is joy in this tree and you can squeeze it out. There is joy in this man or woman that you can squeeze it out. You bring them. and then you expect relationship to be great. It will not be. You're bringing them out so that juice of joy will come to you or love will come to you. No, love is not something that you do. Love is something that you can become. It's your quality. If your mind is in a certain way, it's joyful. If your emotions are in a certain way, it's loving. This is the quality of sweetness of body. If your body becomes sweet, and pleasant, it's called health and pleasure. If your mind becomes very pleasant, it's called peacefulness and joyfulness. If your emotions become pleasant, it's called love and compassion. If your very life energy becomes pleasant, it is called blissfulness and ecstasy. Only if your surroundings become pleasant, it's called success. Only to achieve success, you need competence, you need Cooperation, you need help from other people. All right. Because without all of them cooperating, there will be no success. Right now, these guys must cooperate. Otherwise, this shoot is not going to happen.
We can't record it.
All right. But even if these guys don't shoot well, we can still be joyful. They cannot stop us.
No, we can be joyful, yeah.
Yes, they cannot stop us. But for the shoot to go well, they need to cooperate. If they don't cooperate, the situation will not go well. For the success of this situation, You need the cooperation of all these people. But for my body, for my mind, for my emotion and my energies to feel pleasant, I don't need anybody's cooperation. This is one hundred percent my business. So right now to experience love within you, you're asking somebody to be in a certain way. Oh, all the best. You're going to have a trip.
Is that why you think most marriages go through divorce? Because it's more of needing the other person to support you in feeling a certain way?
See. Suppose you cannot walk without a crutch. Without a crutch, you cannot walk. Then next moment you go and say to somebody, Woman, I cannot live without you. Between the crutch and her, what is the difference I am asking? One is a physical crutch, another is an emotional and psychological crutch, isn't it?
Yeah.
So essentially you have crippled yourself. This life is a complete life by itself. If this is a complete life, it's joyful, loving, wonderful by its own nature. Now, when it's feeling so wonderful, it may want to share this wonderfulness with people around. You can share this with thousands of people, but you also want a more intimate sharing to happen. For that you need one person. So if it's about you expressing your joy and love to somebody and you find that person, you think that person is going to run away from you? No. No, you want to squeeze them for love and joy. Initially, they drip. Afterwards, sometime they dry.
Yeah.
You squeeze them too much. Yeah.
For the people watching or listening who might be saying, you know what, I've struggled in my relationships, I don't have financial abundance, I'm struggling financially, out of shape, struggling in my health and wellness, and they're wondering how they can use karma in a sense to support them to create more abundance, financial abundance, spiritual abundance, relationship abundance, health and well-being. Or maybe they've been thinking, well, maybe karma's been against me in that way of thinking. How can they start to think differently to apply These principles.
You are setting up all the wrong goals.
What should the goals be?
Simply this. See right now, if you instead of philosophizing, reading scriptures, reading self-help books, all this, just pay attention to the trees around here.
