🌻Turning Filth into Fragrance🌻
Sadhguru:
"The first thing is you arrange yourself in such a way that you are a beautiful human being. How someone else sees it is their business."
Right now, you have to be there. So many times, not just you – every one of us is trapped with people and situations we definitely do not want to be in.
Where we are is never entirely our choice. But what we make out of it is entirely our choice.
Exercise it.
If you exercise it, the outside will also slowly become a choice.
Over a period of time, you will see that naturally, situations will arrange around yourself in a most beautiful way.
My experience of the world is too fantastic. Wherever I go, people are in tears of love and joy.
What more do I want?
I know that is not the reality for the whole world, but the world arranges itself like that around me.
This is because I have taken time to arrange myself in such a way that no matter where I am, I am like this only.
Slowly, the world is imitating what I am. You also do this.
Do not worry whether the world arranges itself in a certain way or not – it will invariably happen over a period of time.
The first thing is you arrange yourself in such a way that you are a beautiful human being. How someone else sees it is their business.
Right now, they want to walk in the gutter – let them walk for some time,
till they get tired of it.
Live in such a way that when they look at you, even the gutter people see at some point that it is worth being the way you are. It will not elude them.
They are bitter because their experience of life is bitter and unfulfilled, and this bitterness comes out in the form of conflict.
Set an example for them that there is a way to live differently.
In yoga, one of the most enduring symbols has always been that of a lotus flower, because a lotus flower grows best wherever the slush is thick – the filthier, the better.
Such filth transforms into such ethereal beauty and fragrance.
This is spiritual process.
Getting allergic to slush is not spiritual process.
Becoming a part of the slush is not spiritual process.
Transforming the slush into fragrance is spiritual process.
