Sri Sri -- When somebody is anxious, they are unaware of time, of every moment passing, isn’t it? This is because the whole focus is on the event, on the happening, rather than just on the time. When someone is waiting for the train to come, they are waiting. So the whole focus is on that object rather than on the time. Just a little shift in this, a little tilt in this, is when you are waiting for the doctor or waiting for something else, then you are just waiting for the moment. Are you getting what I am saying? Each moment is in the time. That is yoga. Mind is in the moment, waiting for nothing, but it is waiting. Are you getting this? It adds a different quality to the consciousness. This aspect sharpens the mind, the intellect, and the heart. This is yoga of action.
What is Kriya yoga? It comprises three parts. He says tapaha. Tapas is endurance, acceptance. Say, you are travelling in a plane; it is a long-distance flight. You are sitting and your legs are getting numb. You are tired but you keep sitting. You feel heavy but still you keep sitting. You cannot say, “Oh! I cannot sit now. I am going to get out of the plane”. No way! If the plane is delayed, held up in the air, you have to be there. There is no choice. Now, if you had a choice, then you would not sit for eight hours. Like that in one place. No way. But in a plane, you sit, accepting it willingly, without grumbling. That is tapaha.
If your are unhappy you better check if one or all of these are lacking: Tapa (penance), Vairagya (dispassion), Sharanagati (surrender).
- Tapas is agreeing with the moment, total acceptance of pleasant or unpleasant situations.
- Vairagya means I want nothing and I am nothing.
- Sharanagati is "I am here for You, for Your joy."
If you are grumbling then these are lacking, because when you accept the situation you cannot grumble; when you take it as Tapa you will not grumble; when you come from a state dispassion ("I don't want anything") you don't grumble; and if you are surrendered you will have no complaints.
All these three (Tapas, Vairagya and surrender) purify your mind and uplift you in joy.
If you don? do it willingly you will do it in desperation. First you say, "Nothing can be done." Then in anger and desperation you say, "I give up, I want nothing, I have no choice, to hell with it!"
"yogi and mystic, sadhguru, looks at what kriya yoga means, and
what it takes to walk this path and explore the very mechanics of the life
process"
Sadhguru: fundamentally, kriya means internal action. When you do inner
action, it does not involve the body and the mind because both the body and the
mind are still external to you. When you have a certain mastery to do action
with your energy, then it is a kriya.
The self-controlled person, moving among objects, with his senses free
from attachment and malevolence and brought under his own control, attains
tranquility.

"once we start working with the energy in a
certain way, it has a different kind of depth to life"
"if we want the kriya to be imprinted into
your system in a certain way, then it needs discipline and dedication"
first process to yoga " disciplined and dedication"
"with the path of kriya you are not only seeking realization, you also want to know the mechanics of life-making"
next time i will talk about susharsan kriya which i am practicing, and my experience with it..
its really really powerful, but thing first is needed is dedication and discipline.
