You can make the body so pleasurable that just sitting here and breathing is a million times more than any-
thing that you have known - just to sit here and breathe. And breathing is on twenty-four hours a day. If
breath can become such a pleasure, why should you go for anything else?

WHAT IS MY MISSION IN LIFE?
Question: When searching for
the purpose, passion or life’s
mission, what are signs or
feelings that we can experience
to let us know we are on the
correct path?
Sadhguru: This has become
a modern fad, that everybody
is looking for his or her life’s
mission. People who are on a
mission are quite a handful; they
are fired up with the belief that
they are fulfilling some mission
and are most often dangerous
people.
Most tyrants had missions, you
know. The moment you have
a mission of your own, you will
become a tyrant. I want you to
know that the man who single-
handedly inflicted probably the
maximum amount of pain and
suffering on humanity. Adolf
Hitler, had a great mission. He
wanted to create a super-world,
and many decades later, the
result of this ‘mission’ is still all
too apparent!
From where do you get this
idea that you need to have a
mission of your own? Life is a
mission by itself — your merging
with and serving it is the only
requirement. If you are in tune
with the mission called life, it
will take you to its ultimate. If
you are out of sync, you will get
crushed and rejected on the
way.
No individual has any right to
seek out his own mission, for
there is no mission. It is just

that life is in a certain way. Our
business, our sense and our
enlightenment lie only in being
perfectly attuned to it. When I
say life, it is not just about the
physicality of life, for that’s just a
small part of it.
The deeper life, to be in touch
with it, to be in tune with it
— that is important. You have
no business to have your own
individual mission. About the
purpose and passion — yes, if
you don’t have any passion for
anything, you won’t have any
reason to get up from bed in the
morning. Your bed will become
your grave.
On what basis do you choose
what aspect of life deserves
your attention and passion and
another aspect of life does not
deserve this? When everything
in existence has come form the
same source, when everything
in existence has been created
by the same divine, who are you
to decide that the flower needs
more attention than the pond?
Such decisions are strictly out of
your purview.
Your business is to be
passionate with everything that
you are in touch with right now.
If you are like this, you will
naturally, very easily, without
any effort, discover what you are
good at. It’s better that you do
what you’re good at instead of
working at locating a ‘mission’—
you may not be any good at it.

Sathsang
Sathsang is a vital support
system to help one flower into
one’s inner nature. During
this meeting, we’ll do our
practices together and get
them corrected from trained
teachers.
This is also the time to catch
up with the latest happenings
at Isha, and share our
experiences with other
meditators.
Date: Saturday, 4 September 2010
Time:
6:00 pm for those who practice

A Recipe for an Unforgettable Night of Theatre
AUGUST 2010
On 28th July, Isha Home School Stu-
dents, Staff and Ashram residents
came together for a fun-filled night of
theatre. The junior students performed
a rendition of the Pied Piper of Hamelin,
the middle school students performed a
Tamil drama entitled Kandaen Seethai-
yai, and the senior students performed
an adaptation of Shakespeare’s play
As You Like It. The performances were
a culmination of a 5-Day workshop with
eminent children’s theatre artist Dr Velu
Saravanan.

Kailash Yatra
AUGUST 2010

”The whole reason why you make a pil-

grimage like this is to understand and
experience that there is something be-
yond what you logically know in this
world as ‘real’. Either you remain within
the limitations of your logic or you taste
the magic.”
