Listening to him was the start of a spiritual process, videos to accompany my meal times, my understanding was nil but the longing was immense. The longing does not arise from a thinking mind, it comes from the being longing to evolve beyond what the person knows.

Once the spiritual journey had started the longing was stilled with a certain patience that came from trusting the Guru, from understanding that he knows something more and that he is someone whom I wish to listen to more than anyone else.

When I was very little maybe 5, I remember a very strong experience where my mother and my sister were talking and I was thinking “what are these people talking? These people are crazy…” In this environment I grew up to be a rebel of a kid never listening to what’s being told to me as my inner sense always guided me better and I did what felt right to me. This works to a certain extent but of course the society and the adults around you do take over and enforce things verbally and physically whether you like it or not. This is also something that happened with me. 

Now I hear a man once (referring to Sadhguru) and all I want to do is listen to him and follow him wholeheartedly. Very quickly I saw myself as a disciple taking whatever message that I’m able to understand from the little understanding I had at this early stage of my path in Yoga.

So here I am listening and longing for everything that he has to offer. I had many questions but my belief was stronger than my questions, I believed in him to the extent that I knew that if not today I would for sure understand him one day. And with this I started my journey with him and not only am I coming to understand but also all of my questions are getting answered from my own inner experience through Yoga.

I had no need to go seeking answers to my questions from people, I got my answers from my higher inner self. This journey has been the best I’ve ever been on and it brings me closer and closer to a higher possibility everyday and every moment. 

I feel extremely fortunate and very glad that in this life I found my Guru and instantly with no resistance whatsoever I stepped onto the path that he lit up for me.

I am a teacher now myself and I show this path of the Guru to others, just being able to do something of this nature has given a very profound meaning to my life and a satisfaction or a quench of thirst. Nothing at this point in life matters as much, the feeling of fulfilment is enormous. 

When he says to take the ashram with you wherever you go, or that the Dhyanalinga is with you always is finally something I am able to experience with the grace of my Guru.
