"The Drunken Act"- Sadhguru

[ad627]

The world is illusion

Brahman alone is real

The world is Brahman

[Zatoichi444]

This guy is great......we have some identical views about "reality"

Thank you, Guru.

I should say your retarding, haha so true and yet funny

"Why do you think ppl drink? People drink alcohol because they have a hope they will know an absolute sense of abandonment. People who can't sing in their bathrooms will start singing and dancing on the street with a few drops of alcohol because only the act is left - the actor has receded - not gone..."

This drunken state is induced, temporary and ultimately painful.

How many seekers end up alcoholics?

Can "perfect possession," describe the potential we have to be full state of self-awareness?

What Love? lol...it's nice to see a smile these days. One thing about this man is his sense of humor.

During once particular BSP, we "did" a death meditation. The next day I asked him if he would do it again and he replied "why, anyway....you're going to die."

That was 12 yrs ago.

To me, he's more human than 99.9% of those I encounter...lol, that's why I stay secluded. I can't bear the stench of the BS coming out as "chatter."

It smells worse than what comes from the other end

@Yoetah I was smiling because what you quoted was my favorite part. I love his sense of humour. Usually when he laughs, I laugh. It is a very infectious laugh, and that is because it is a very honest laugh. I understand why you stay secluded, however there is much to learn from everyone, even if it is teaching us what we do not want to become. Just remember compassion for other people will help you see (or smell) beyond....the stench :)

[Yoetah]

Have you heard his discourse on compassion? It's beautiful

[DemetraLove]

@Yoetah no I have not, I think I will though.

I am amazed at the wealth of real knowldge I receive when I listen to you. You explain everything scientifically disregarding super natural powers which allows me to coonect to what u r saying instantly , instead of having to go throgh bearoicracy and attain sertain level of grade in org and Unlike other so called gurus who only confuses with supernatural reasoning and demand to follow them. Thank you.

[Salocin27]

fantastic!

[pathikd]

By act he means the ''you'' the person who is acting. So when sadhguru says that being drunk is also an act he means that the drunkard is also ''you'' its just a different set of chemical reactions that take place. He used this anecdote to explain the question which was asked about who is the one that actually experiences.This is only a small portion of the entire video hence you might be confused.

Awesome video and amazing man!

But, I'm a little confused on what he's saying. Is he trying to say that being drunk is just an act? That people who get drunk can act just like an actor - which is any way they want?
