It was said in INNER ENGINEERING class that awareness of This moment is inevitable but I am confused about what

awareness is. Physical actions happen through body and thinking happens in mind. Similarly where does awareness take
place? Sadhguru, please tell how I can be aware of this truth when it is not the mind or body that is to work here? How do I be
aware? Avinash Eswaramangalam

SADHGURU : By trying to be aware youll never be aware. But if you increase the aliveness in you, you will become aware as well,
How do we know we are alive? Its because we are aware that we are alive. Awareness is not mental alertness. It is not the function of
a mind. It is a function of life. So dont confuse the two. All practices including Shambhavi are there just to enhance that aliveness in you.

Can you please give me link to any article where sadhguru has spoken about benefits of rudrakshas having different faces.
There seems to be some confusion when people talk about rare ones like one face etc. So if you could guide me.

SADHGURU : Irrespective of what type of lifestyle you have, the safest rudraksha to wear is the Panchmukhi. Children below the age
of twelve can wear the six faced one. For all others you must go to someone who is learned about the effects, and knows how it will
reverberate with your system, and not someone who wants to sell it to you or look at an article. If you are not geared towards wearing a
certain rudraksha, it will be just like something special coming into your life which you are neither prepared for nor ready for.

What is the surest way to destroy age-old Vasanas. I have been performing spiritual practices for over 13 years now (Gayathri
mantra, Master given mantra, charity as advised by my Guru, built Shiva temple, yoga, seva, chanted sahasaranamas etc).
Nothing seems to have moved my Vasanas (Kama and Krodha) a wee-bit. I am absolutely clueless!!! I even feel that I have
wasted 90 minutes of my time everyday for the past 13 years. Please guide me SadGuruji!

SADHGURU : You can be doing spiritual sadhna for 90 minutes but if for the rest of the 22 and half hours you are not aware then you
are wasting your time. Its not necessary to build or do anything unless you are doing it with spiritual consciousness. You dont have to
change the content of your life-just change the context of your life. Most people become what they have gathered over the years. Your
practice should be to create a distance between what you are and what you have gathered as unnecessary baggage. You dont have to
build a temple or call out to Siva-its not needed. If you just change the context of your life, your intellect will not be changed by all the
baggage you have accumulated and so naturally you will become spiritual-there is no other way to be.
