Developing an Inclusive Consciousness
Jonathan Berent: Thank you so much for joining us today, Sadhguru. I think the audience is very interested, in what you have to say. I guess to start, they define inclusive consciousness.
I'd love to hear your thoughts Sadhguru: They did not define inclusive consciousness They did not. Okay. Jonathan Berent: No. Well, I was just gonna ask you what's missing. So you can, you can start.
Sadhguru: With, all due respect, they spoke about intent, right intent. Mm-hmm. They thought. They spoke about right kind of thoughts, emotions, attitudes, and to some extent actions. Mm. There is no consciousness in this.
Mm. If we are understanding that the way we think, feel, and act is of a consciousness, no. Mm. It is like we're mistaking a plant. We're mistaking the flower for the soil.
Mm. We are mistaking expressions for the source. Mm. This is something that's happening everywhere, not just here. Mm. People think by changing attitudes their consciousness will change.
No. By changing attitudes, certain actions will change. Yes, positive, beneficial, but it is not truly transformative. Mm. Change will happen.
Transformation will not happen. If I have to define a distinction between change and transformation, change means the residue of the past will still remain. A transformation means nothing of the past will remain, which is what is needed today if you want to create a new world.
Mm. If you want a new generation to have a fresh life. Mm-hmm. It's been expressed in so many ways. Being in this part of the world, what they're familiar with generally- Mm-hmm.
Someone said, "Leave the dead to the dead." It's very significant. Mm. This is not coming out of recklessness.
Mm. This is not coming out of unconcern, but this is coming with the concern that you must be a fresh life. Mm-hmm. You can learn many things from the past about how to conduct yourself, but there is nothing to learn from the past about how to be. Mm. Because you are a complete life by yourself.
Mm. You don't have to learn how to be a life from the past. Maybe you have to learn how to be a good engineer. Mm-hmm. Maybe you have to learn how to be something else in the society from the past, but you don't have to learn how to be a life from the past, because past has nothing to do with this.
This is a fresh life, and this is a complete life. Mm. Consciousness is that dimension which is the very source of who we are. Mm. Our intentions, our actions, our thoughts, and our attitudes are a consequence of that.
