27. The Yogic Path to Moral Clarity by Sadhguru


Listen Later

Today we're going to dive deep into the fascinating intersection of yoga and morality through the brilliant insights of the renowned mystic and yogi, Sadhguru.

FIND YOUR PASSION AND PURPOSE IN LIFE

Now, I know what some of you might be thinking - yoga is just stretching and breathing exercises, right? How can that possibly relate to something as profound as morality and ethics?

Well, buckle up yogis because Sadhguru is about to blow your mind wide open!

You see, at its core, yoga is so much more than just the physical postures or asanas we see people doing on the mat.

Yoga is a entire philosophy, a way of life that has been passed down through thousands of years of enlightened masters and sages. It's a technological process to experience the highest level of consciousness and bliss.

And within this ancient yogic tradition, there is profound wisdom about how to live an ethical, dharmic life in harmony with the cosmic laws of existence.

Yoga shows us that morality isn't just a set of rigid rules imposed from the outside. True morality emerges from within when we raise our consciousness and experience the unbounded nature of the Divine within ourselves and all beings.

As Sadhguru explains, "Morality is not a set of dos and don'ts that you imbibe from outside. What is moral and what is immoral has to be consciously experienceable from within you.

When this experience becomes a reality for you, telling you what is moral and what is immoral will be as meaningful as telling you that fire burns."

Isn't that fascinating? Morality arises from the clarity of an experienced reality, not from preaching or dogma.

When we live in limited states of consciousness, everything is clouded and morality becomes about controlling behavior through laws and punishment. But in a state of unbounded consciousness and bliss, what is moral and what causes suffering becomes self-evident.

This is where the principles and practices of yoga come in. By turning our energies inward through practices like asana, pranayama, meditation, and self-inquiry, we start peeling away the layers of conditioning, identifications, and compulsions that keep us trapped in a state of suffering and unconsciousness.

The very root of immorality and unethical behavior stems from a person's inability to experience the Divinity within themselves and all other beings.

When you're identified with just this physical body and mind, there's always a sense of lack, insecurity, and fear that causes selfish behavior that harms others.

But as you progress on the yogic path, you start experiencing your own infinite, deathless nature.

You realize you are not just this confined bundle of flesh, but rather a limitless force of consciousness. And in that experience, an automatic commitment to what is ethical and moral becomes crystal clear.

As Sadhguru beautifully puts it, "Only when you touch a dimension beyond the physical body and the materialistic confines of this existence, when something transcendental becomes a living reality for you, only then can morality can be pulled out of the realms of philosophy and become a existential living experience."

So yoga isn't just an exercise for physical fitness or even mental calmness, though those are marvelous side benefits.

Yoga is a tremendous tool, a scientific means to attain the highest peak of consciousness where we are rooted in an experiential morality as vast and boundless as the cosmos itself.

Of course, just doing a few yoga poses isn't going to magically make you a perfectly moral saint!

The journey of yoga takes tremendous work, dedication, and guidance from an authentic spiritual master like Sadhguru.

But even incorporating some simple yogic practices into your daily life can put you on the path of raising your awareness and experiencing life from a higher dimension of truth.
