Thousand impressions

Arya just loved what he was doing at the beach. Each time he went into the water and pushed his feet hard on the moist sand, they made a deep impression on the sand. Then he waited for the sea to hit the sand in its flow and just wash away those impressions and be smooth again.

This was a wonderful discovery for him. The sea was just tirelessly wiping out the impressions on the shore without any effort at all.

Sadhguru: As a child you were joyful. You were, there is no question about it. Even when you were a child, certain things, impressions, activities, atmospheres could just suppress you. There is a certain sense of helplessness, even though children are by nature bubbling with life energy that is joyful.

They are also more susceptible to other people’s will, than you are right now as an adult. A physically ill child, unable to bear the pain, unable to bear the suffering, may make himself sad, that’s different. But, there are many healthy children, who are sad. This is happening not because it is the child’s nature but because the early imprints in life are such. So the kind of over-bearing atmosphere that people create around you will accordingly leave an imprint on you.

There are also other kinds of imprints within the human being which could make him sad. It may be just pushing that person to realize this is not it, but irrespective of whether external situations or inner imprints are pushing you, you still have a choice.

If you are conscious enough, you have a choice to be beyond these imprints and still be joyful because all your impressions come from outside, but not your Joy. Impressions can come, impressions can go, but Joy does not come and go. It is the life source within you.

The only thing is whether you allow it to find expression or not. When I say there is no joyless person in the world, maybe there are joyless faces in the world, joyless bodies, joyless minds, but there are no joyless beings in the world. Every being is a joyful being.

If you get entangled in the process of your body, entangled in the process of your mind, entangled in the process of your emotion, there are million reasons and ways to make yourself joyless or miserable right now. You can be joyless by just thinking about something, remembering something that was unpleasant, or even by creating something that may be unpleasant tomorrow.

People are doing this all the time, isn’t it? Right now, nobody needs to poke you with a knife for you to be miserable. Something that somebody said 10 years ago can still make you miserable. Your fear that somebody may say something tomorrow is already making you miserable. Or if somebody did not say something that they were supposed to say, that is making you miserable too.

There are endless ways to make you miserable. It is madness, that’s all. Whether you have been miserable as a child, or an adult is not the point.
