The Power of Meditation for creating the life you want.

When a human being is in a certain state of experience, the human being produces certain chemicals for which it is waiting.  So, millions of receptors are waiting for you to create the very chemicals which will help you to relax.  In the ancient yogic system there has been tremendous focus on the pineal gland.  It is said that if the pineal gland is active, then one will not suffer from mood swings. There is a whole system of yoga that activates the pineal gland, and if it is activated you will be ecstatic all the time.  When one is in this state, it does not matter to you whether you eat, do not eat, drink, or do not drink, it is a state where people need to be watched,  as they are so so blissed out that everything to that person seems to be effortless.  One can only explore the full potential of who you are when you are in a sustained level of pleasantness within yourself.

I have been studying a certain kind of breathing for about 20 years now, and have found that when you are able to lower the number of breaths in a minute, that I feel more relaxed and happier in my life.

Isn't it true with humanity, everyone wants more, and personally I think this is showing what people lack today is going within themselves.  The creator lives within you, as is in the bible: The Kingdom of God is within you.  You have to look no further than within yourself.

Breath is not just about exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.  If I asked you to watch your breath, which is a very common thing these days, you don't get to watch it, you think you are but you can only notice the sensations made by the movement of the air.

For example if a person touched you you would think you know the touch of the other person, however you only know the sensations in your body, you do not know how the other person feels you only know the sensation that you felt in your body.  So now you do not know the breath, you only know the sensations caused by the breath, so when we talk about the breath itself, it is like a string, an unbroken string, it is going on and this is the string which ties you with this body of yours.  If you did not have your breath, you and your body would fall apart.  We do not want it to fall apart, but if your consciousness travels with the breath, if your awareness travels with the passage of the breath, keenly enough, then you will see, and distinctly see these two are not one, what is you and what is your body will stand apart.  What you are and what is your mind will stand apart.  If you and your body mind combination stand away from each other, then suddenly you will find your ability to use your body and your mind goes into a phenomenal scale.  If right now you have to count from one to ten, the highest is ten, if  that is so, if you are attached or if you are involved with this body you are less than one, if these two things come apart, suddenly you can rev it up all the way to ten, your ability to use the mind and the body is so greatly enhanced that you almost look superhuman to somebody else, but I am telling you this is human, this is not about being super human, this is about realising, being human is super.  Not a simple thing to be human.

Yogic meditation involves this.  Your thought is playing a very important roll in your life right now, so let us employ that.  Your breath is vital, so let us employ that.  Without  your awareness you would not know you were even here right now, if you are not aware you do not even know if you are alive or exist or not.  So these three things, your breath, your thought and your awareness in the right combination, if you use them in the right combination you will see that very slowly a small distance arrives between your body.

Whether you go to a pub, want to go to heaven, whatever, the effort, people always want something more than they have now, than what they have or what is happening to them.  They want something more to happen.  Something more will happen only if your perception is enhanced, not otherwise.  So the whole system of meditation is focused to enhancing your perception.  You need to handle it, as your life will change, as every cell in your body becomes more alive.


Everything that we as human beings have created on this planet was essentially first created in our minds.  All that you see, which is human work on this planet, first found expression in the mind, then it got manifested in the outside world.  So one thing we need to understand is that the wonderful things that we have done on this planet, and the awful things that have occurred on this planet, both have come from within the human mind.  So if we are concerned as to what we create in this world, it is extremely important that first of all we learn to create the right things in our mind, how we keep our minds. If we do not have the power to keep our minds the way we want it, what we create in the world is also going to be very accidental and haphazard.  So learning to create our minds the way we want is the basis of creating a world the way we want.

There is a story that on a certain day a man went for a long walk and accidentally walked into a place of paradise.  After this long walk, he felt a little tired, so he thought "oh i am tired, I wish I could rest somewhere".  He looked around, there was a nice tree, underneath which there was very beautiful soft grass, so it was very invited and he put his head down there and slept.  After a few hours he woke up.  He was well rested and he thought oh i am well rested, that was great.  However, I am feeling hungry, I wish I had something to eat and he was thinking about all the lovely things he wanted to eat and instantly all those things appeared on a plate in front of him.  That is what happens in paradise. :)  Hungry people do not usually ask questions, so the food came and he ate.  He became full and then he thought I wish I had something to drink.  All the nice things he ever wanted to drink, he thought about it and all of them just appeared in front of him.  Drinking people also do not usually ask questions, so he drank.

With a little bit of alcohol inside him (Charles Darwin told you all of you are monkeys and your tail fell away and then you became human) yes definitely the tail fell away but the monkey..... in Yoga an unestablished mind is referred to as a monkey.  Why that is done is what are the qualities of a monkey?  One thing about a monkey is it is a necessary moment, and another thing is if I say you are monkeying somebody what does that mean, imitation.  Monkey and imitation have become synonymous, so these two essential qualities of a monkey are very much the qualities of an unestablished mind an unnecessary moment, you do not have to learn it from the monkey you can teach it to the monkey and imitation is a full-time job of the mind.  So when these two qualities are on a mind is referred to as a monkey.  So this monkey becomes active within him.  He just looked around and thought that the hell is happening here, I asked for food food came, I asked for drink ad drink came.  There must be ghosts around here.  and ghosts came.  All the ghosts have come they are going to surround me and torture me, he thought.  Immediately the ghosts surrounded him and started torturing him.

Then he started screaming in pain and though oh they are going to kill me and he died  Just now he said he was a fortunate being.  The problem was he was sitting under a wishing tree.  He asked for food, food came, he asked for drink, drink came, he asked for ghosts, ghosts came he asked for torture torture came he asked for death and death happened.

Now do not go looking for the wishing tree, you can barely find a tree nowadays.  A well established mind, a mind which is in a state of self realisation.  If you organise your mind to a certain level of organisation it in turn organises the whole system your body, your energies your mind, once all four dimension of you, your physical body, your mind, your emotions and the fundamental life energies are organised in one direction, once you are like this anything that you wish happens without even lifting a little finger actually.  It would help to assists it with activity but even without doing any activity you can still manifest what you want if you organise these four dimensions in one direction and keep it unwavering in that direction for a certain period of time.  Right now the problem with your mind is every moment it is changing its direction, it is like you want to travel somewhere and every two steps if you keep changing your direction, the question of you reaching the destination is very remote unless it happens by chance.  So, organising our minds and internally organising the whole system and these four basic dimensions of who you are right now, in one direction, if you do this you are self realised yourself.  Anything that you wish will happen.  But right now if you look at your lives everything that you have wished for until now if it happens that would be the end of you.  Everything and everybody that you have desired for if all that landed up in your house today, could you live with that?

So if you want to become empowered, it is also important that you become responsible as to what you ask for and what you don't.   Right now the world situation is just this, we are hugely empowered with technology.  Today it does not take six billion to destroy this planet, one person by pressing the wrong button can destroy the whole planet.  When we are empowered like this, it is very important that our physical action, emotional action, mental action and energy actions are controlled and properly directed.  If it is not then we become destructive, self destructive.  Right now that is our problem the technology with is supposed to make our life beautiful and easy has become the source of all the problem that we are destroying the very basis of our life, which is the planet.  So what should have been a boom, we are making a curse out of it.  What has brought incredible levels of comfort ad convenience to us in the last 100 years or so has also become a threat to our life, simply because we are not taking conscious action, we are in a compulsive state of action.  So organising our minds fundamentally means moving from a compulsive state of activity to a conscious state of activity.

You might have heard of people for whom they ask for something and beyond all expectations it came true for them.  Generally this will happen to people who are in faith.  Let us say you want to build a house, if you start thinking oh i want to build a house, to build a house i need 500,000 but i don't have that it isn't possible it isn't possible, the moment you say it is not possible, you are also saying I do not want it, so on one level you are creating a desire that you want something and on another level you are saying I do not want it.  So in this conflict it may not happen.  Someone who has some faith in a God or in a temple or whatever, who is simple minded.  Faith works only for simple minded.  Thinking people, for them it never works.

A childlike person, who has a simple faith in his Temple or God he goes to the temple and says Shiva i want a house, i don't know how, you must make it for me.  Now in his mind there are no negative thoughts, will it happen, will it to happen, is it possible or not.  These things are completely removed by this simple act of faith. Now he believes Shiva will do it for him and it will happen.  So is Shiva going to come and build your house, no i want you to understand God would not lift his little finger for you, what you refer to as God is the source of creation.  As a creator, he has done a phenomenal job, could you think of a better creation than this.  Is it in anybody's imagination to think of anything better than what is there right now.  So as a creator he has done his job wonderfully well, but if you want life to happen the way you want it, because right now the very crux of your happiness or unhappiness is this.  If your unhappy, the only reason is life is not happening the way you think it should happen.  That is the crux of it.

So if life is not happening the way you think it should happen, you are unhappy.  If life happens the way you think it should happen you are happy, it is as simple as that.  If life has to happen the way you think it should happen, first of all, how do you think, with how much focus do you think, how much stability is there in your thought and how much reverberant is there in the thought process will determine whether your thought will become a reality or is it just an empty thought?  How do you not create any impediments for your thoughts, is by not creating negativity.


Is something possible or not possible is destroying humanity.  What is possible or not possible is none of your business, it is natures business, your business is just to strive for what you want.  Right now you are sitting here.  If I ask you two simple questions, i want you to just look at this and answer this, right now from where you are sitting can you just fly off?  You say no.  Right now from where you are sitting can you get up and walk.  You will say yes.  What is the basis of this?  Why you are saying no to flying and yes to walking, because from past experience of life many times you have got up and walked but you have never flown off.

In other words, you are using the past experience of life as a basis for deciding whether something is possible or not possible.  Or in other words, you have decided that what is not happened until now cannot happen in your life in the future.  This is a disgrace to humanity and the human spirit.  What has not happened until now on this planet can happen tomorrow, human beings are capable of making it happen tomorrow so what is possible and not possible is not your business.  That is natures business, nature Will decide that.  You just see what it is that you really want and strive for that and if your thought is created in a powerful way, without any negativity, without any negative thoughts, bringing down the intensity of the thought process it will definitely manifest.  The whole existence today, modern science is proving is just a reverberation of energy, it is a vibration.

Similarly, your thought is also a vibration, if you generate a powerful thought and let it out, it will always manifest itself, so generally people are using faith as a means to remove the negative thought.  Today, once you have become thinking human beings, your faith is not too deep, it does not matter how much faith you think you have, somewhere doubts always crop up.  Right now the way your minds are made, this moment if God appeared right with you now, you will not surrender to God, you would want an investigation whether God is really God or not.  With this kind of mind you should not waste your time on faith, so there is an alternative, which is commitment.  If you simply commit yourself to creating what you really care for,  now once again your thought gets organised in such a way that there is no such thing as to whether it is possible or not possible, there are no hurdles in your thought process, your thought flows freely towards what you want, once this happens, making it happen will also naturally follow.

So to create what you really care for, the first and foremost thing is that what you want must be well manifested in your mind, that this is what I want.  Is that what you really want, you should look at it, because any number of fittings in your life you have thought this is it and the moment you reach it you say that is not it and it is the next one and the next one and the next one  What is it one really wants is one thing, first of all we must explore, once this is clear and we are committed to creating it, now there is a continuous process of thought in that direction.  Once you can maintain a steady stream of thought without changing direction, definitely this is going to happen in your life or it will def. manifest as a reality in your life.

So either you make this human form into a culparutia or you make it into one big mess, which is happening all over the world.  One reason why we have not created the kind of world that all of us would want to live in is, too many people are busy looking up.  Too many people are interested in other planet,s they are not interested in this planet, and further too many people are in service of heaven, they are not in service of this earth that we live on.  I think right now we need more people who are in service of this earth, not heaven.  i would have thought that heaven would not need our help, if it is closer to divine than we are, then heaven would be more sorted than we are and would need help from us, so why are we not thinking of the planet.  The highest aspects of human life have been exported to heaven, for example if you say Love, people say God is loving, we do not know that.  Human beings are capable of love, but love is an emotion.  It is important that people understand that human beings are capable of love and compassion.  Human beings are capable of joy and blissfulness.  All the good things that are possible for a human being have unfortunately been exported to heaven.

If we want to create the kind of world that we want to we need to understand, I would have thought, whatever you refer to as God, the idea of God has entered our mind only because we have seen creation around us.  Because there is creation we have assumed a creator.  God is a great creator.  What you refer to as God is the source of creation, that source of creation has not failed us, has done an absolutely great job, but now the question is about management.  If you want to leave the management in the hands of the creator he will manage it in his own way according to his agenda, but that is not what you want.  You want live to happen the way you want it.  Now for example let us say all of your here are the  .......

So intellect is not the problem the sharper it is the better it is.  The unsteady platform, then it tarts cutting you up it either cuts other people or you up.  The next dimension of intelligence ... the intellect is still in tact but it is no use, because there is no memory.  The fourth dimension is called a chitta, chitta is a dimension of intelligence within you unsullied by memory, there is no iota of memory in this.  What memory means is memory is the way you are setting up your boundaries.  With memory you will recognise this is my friend, I don't know who that is, that is my relative, Oh i don't know who that is, you are establishing a boundary, everything you remember sets a boundary for you.  You remember this is my country, now it sets a boundary for you, you remember this is my father, sets a boundary for you.

There is a dimension of intelligence within you which is unsullied by memory.  If you touch your chita, in the yogic law in a very mysterious way it is said if you touch your chita, God becomes your slave.  Because, the dimension of intelligence which is capable of making a banana into a human being, if it became a conscious process you would definitely live magically.  Other people will think you are super human, but I am telling you this is what it means to be human, to eat, sleep, reproduce and die, you do not have to come with such a complex mechanism, an earth worm?  If peace is the highest goal you must come as an earth worm.  It is very echo friendly.  All its aspirations are 100 per cent echologically sensitive, are they not?   Taken from:  Sadhguru- These Tools Will Totally Transform Your Health, Business and Relationships....
