Becoming A Source of Energy

Sadhguru looks at how if we pay much more attention to everything, and above all if we
heighten our ability to be attentive, that could be used in miraculous ways.

Q: Sadhguru, you spoke about touching the spinal thread and about the
sushumna nadi becoming alive. Can you elaborate on this?

Sadhguru: There is a very beautiful ad that I saw for a CFL light bulb in
India. A little Tibetan boy is sitting with a book on a pedestal with a halo
behind him. An old woman sees this and starts saying Rinpoche,
Rinpoche [An honorific title in Tibetan Buddhism conferred upon respected
teachers]. People in the town hear her, and soon, the whole town comes
and starts saying Rinpoche, Rinpoche, in front of the boy. Then the
boy sees all these people and he also gets down and starts saying the
same thing. The halo is actually a CFL light glowing.

my own.
You may not yet be able to glow like that but something is glowing. If
nothing was glowing, the very atmosphere we have set here at the Isha
Yoga Center is not one where you can have some kind of psychological or
social comfort. It is not an atmosphere that gives you any kind of Sadhguru
authority or grip. Todays Mystic Quote

rolls you down pretty well and in that moment of a little bit of openness
in the psychological process, we did touch your spine. The moment
openness happens, your spinal thread will not be spared, have no hope of
that. It will immediately be touched. Whether you let it glow or you resist
and create more heat than light is up to you. It is in your hands. It has
been touched and the power is on. If you resist, you create more heat and
less light. If you do not resist, you will create a lot of light and very little
heat.

Becoming a Source of Energy

If you want to cultivate this further, so that your glow is not just for your
transformation, if you want to become an alternative source of energy
on this planet, you have to pay a lot of attention to it. A lot means a lot.
But you cannot pay a lot of attention to anything because you can only
pay what you have. But in what you have also you save thats not okay.
Whatever attention level you have right now is not all that is possible.
There is more but that is still in an un-manifest state where you do not
have access to it. But at least you must pay what you have. If you hold
back in that, the chances of evolving or improving upon what has been
touched is very remote.

Even with your mental attention, all of

part of it. Suppose I leave you without a torch in
the middle of the forest at night, when
it is pitch dark, you will see that your
level of attention will be different. When
you face danger and hear wild animals
but you cannot see anything, you will be in a different level of attention.
If it is a question of life and death, you will become attentive in a
completely different way.

A few years ago, I took a small group of people on a trek on a railway

track between Subramanya and Mangalore in Karnataka. This stretch has
over 300 bridges and 100 tunnels. You are practically either on a bridge or
in a tunnel most of the time, and it is an absolutely wonderful mountain.
Some of the tunnels are over a kilometer long. Even in the day it is pitch
dark if you go in. You cannot see your own hand in front of you. After
some time you do not know whether your eyes are open or closed, it is
that dark. Probably, most people have never been in a place like that
even starlight gives you some sense of vision. In the tunnels, there is
absolutely no vision; it is pitch black. After some time you start
wondering whether your eyes are closed or open because it does not
make any difference.

I made them walk in those tunnels without any torches. There could be a
ditch, there could be an opening, there could be anything. And bats are
flying all over they do not see anything either but they are damn sure
about where they are going. They are flying really close to you all over
the place. Initially, people were scared but after some time, slowly they
started walking and enjoying the whole experience. If you are in a place
like that, your attention becomes really heightened. If you can keep your
attention like this every moment of your life, then you will glow.

Pay Attention

Why I constantly push people in the ashram to notice even little things in
the ashram is not just to maintain cleanliness. It is not just about the
aesthetics of the place but to be absolutely attentive to every little thing.
If a pebble has turned over, you must notice it. It is not a question of the
pebble, it is just that you are attentive. If you bring this attention to a
peak, then your spinal thread will really glow. It has been touched, no
question about that. If you have to make it glow, you have to pay
attention. If you learn to have a heightened sense of attention, then we
can teach you methods as to what you must and what you should not
attend to within yourself.

If you become very attentive, we can
