Sadhguru: If you walk into a very pristine forest where hardly any human beings have moved, if you just close your eyes and sit, it is like you are sitting in an energized space. You can feel this distinctly. There is a phenomenal amount of energy which is supporting you because the whole life process – from a microbe to a worm, to an insect, to a bird, to an animal, to a tree, every one of them is with this intention – they want to be something more than what they are right now. That intention creates a kind of consecration and sacredness of its own.
The beginning of human realization probably happened in this way. People walked into some space and sat there and they suddenly realized that everything is longing to grow beyond its limitations. Then, it suddenly occurred to them, “What am I doing going against this?” If you allow the planet to be just the way it was, and if you simply sit here or sleep, you will find the whole place will become like a consecrated space.
The effort to create consecrated forms or spaces such as temples is because human societies create such a cacophony of intentions. A husband’s intention and a wife’s intention in the same house are different. Both of them are partners and there may be one common intention, but all the other intentions are different – it is a cacophony. Because of this, there is no appropriate space for one to experience that enhanced energy. A consecrated space is essentially a cultured situation that brings forth the natural longing of life.
As you get more exposed to this and stay there completely in the womb of nature, the way you feel things is very different from the way you understand it in a movie or in pictures. This is the reason why yogis always withdrew into forests and mountain caves. Because just sitting there, the intention of nature is crystal clear to you. The main thing is to grow beyond all limitations which are restricting you right now. That intention is being expressed by every grain of soil out there; so don’t miss it. If you become without intention, you will feel the intention of the Existence. When you become one with that, you travel so much more easily in that direction.
