Make yourself your first business |
 This body is not really yours. It is a hodgepodge of everything that you have eaten, isn't it? It is on loan to you from the earth. Your mind is not yours either. Just sincerely look at your mind and see; you will see your mind is society's garbage bin. Everybody who passed your way has thrown some nonsense into your head.  Now, even if your body and mind are not yours, there is something else which needs to be looked at beyond the dimension of the body and mind. If that dimension is not experienced -once you have come in the human form, if you do not experience yourself beyond the limitations of this body and mind -I would say this human form has been wasted upon you, because. to eat, sleep, reproduce and die, you don't need this kind of a body. You don't need this kind of intelligence. If you eat a little more than what you should, you go straight to the toilet or to the doctor. That is the kind of body you have. So in the eating department, you are no competition. Sleeping also you are no competition because there are birds, insects and animals which can sleep for three to six months at a stretch. Reproduction -to bear one child, how much fuss! There also you are no competition. Dying also you make too much fuss about it. Now you may be thinking, "No, no. I am not just eating, sleeping and reproducing. I am running an industry; I am a member of the Rotary club." That is fine. The day you have to die -do you know you will die one day? I bless you with a long life, but you will die one day. Do you know that? So when the moment of death comes, you will see that all that has happened is eating, sleeping and reproducing. nothing else. Very few individuals rose beyond that. Unless you experience something, unless you know and live with something that is beyond the physical body and mind, human form has gone waste on you. So if mankind is your business, make yourself your first business. - Sadhguru |
