Summary

Sadhguru explains about the nature of stillness as well as movement. All that moves will eventually be brought to a stop, but that which is still is for always. Meditation is a method to move towards this stillness. A man is ill only because he doesn't know how to be still.

0:00.0	All that moves will, anyway, be brought to a stop, but that which is still is for
0:26.5	always, no moment in the existence is perpetual. Certain things may be owned for a long
0:41.9	time, but never perpetual. All that knows is bound to exhaust itself, but that which is still is for
0:58.4	always, what's being propagated and what's being termed as.
1:26.9	Yes, meditation is essentially towards that stillness to become like the core of existence. It is not that you have
1:45.9	described to become like that. If you learn to penetrate, it is like that. It is not something that you do, because doing is moment.
2:13.9	It is something that you fall back into, because it's from that stillness that moment has originated. It is from that stillness that the surface is moment.
2:43.9	On the surface there are many kinds of actions, many kinds of colors, many kinds of reverberance, not against it.
3:04.9	All that you call as life, all that you generally know as life, is the surface reverberance.
3:23.9	But once you have the taste of stillness, if you wish you can play the surface,
3:42.9	otherwise you can just fall back. If you do not know the core, if you have never tasted the still core,
4:00.9	whatever, it's in some kind of compulsive moment. Believe me. It doesn't matter how exciting you find life right now, one day you will tire.
4:24.9	I hope that you don't fall off life because you are tired. You fall off life because you are ripe.
4:39.9	A fruit should fall off the tree because it's ripe, not because it's tired.
4:49.9	Because with ripeness comes witness, with ripeness comes maturity, with ripeness comes new possibility.
5:00.9	If you are tired, then fall off. That's not the right way to fall off from life.
5:11.9	So meditation is not an option.
5:22.9	Meditation is not a fanciful endeavor in one's life. If you do not know how to be still,
5:35.9	you can only be ill, there is no other way. You may have different names for your illness.
5:44.9	Till you know, in 17th century, it was fashionable in England to have tuberculosis.
6:03.9	Really? Similarly, there are many other ailments today which are fashionable.
6:12.9	It doesn't matter how much pain and suffering it causes, but still it's fashionable. But that doesn't make it right.
