Adiyogi: The Source of Yoga

by Sadhguru

‘You’ve said before that the experience of enlightenment is like an endless free fall through an abyss, and that sounds alarming,’ I add. ‘The terror is only about hitting the bottom, not about falling. If the consequence is taken away, what’s the problem? Ever tried skydiving?’

If you think the body is all you have, the prospect of losing it is terrifying. There are people who will fight to death for five rupees, because that’s all they have. But if someone comes and fights with you for five rupees, you’ll just give it away. Why? Because you have a bank balance. It’s the same for the yogi. There is no more fear because you know you are not your body or your mind; you are in constant touch with the truth. You have your bank balance. You are one with life.’
