Of Mystics and Mistakes: Time to break the shell

“Once survival has been taken care of, this is the time to break the shell and know life in its larger possibility.”

—Sadhguru

Right now, though you have a carpet and a little bit of concrete between you and the earth, Mother Earth sees you as just an outcrop of herself. When she decides, she will suck you back. Don’t have any illusions about it. Whatever you may think of yourself, she will suck you back because she experiences you as a part of herself.

Even now, if you lose connection with everything that she is, she is just water, air, earth, fire, and space. And this is what you are, but you think you are different. Thought is not unique to you either. If you could build a body, it is because the earth has a body. If you can have blood circulation, the earth has its own circulations. If you have thoughts, so do the planet, the universe, and the creation. It is just that when you are too full of your own stuff, you don’t get to perceive the larger thought of the creation and the Creator. If there was no thought in the creation, how would you get it? You are just a small manifestation in this creation. It is this thought which, when used compulsively or recklessly, separates you from the existence. It is this thought, when employed irresponsibly, that makes you think you are a separate creation by yourself.
