How Do You Recognize An Enlightened Being? - Sadhguru

In a way, lighting means that you are an impeccable life, there is no brand. Once you confuse the memory with intelligence, then you are in poor condition. There are only two types of people, mystics and errors. If you see things as they are, people will label it as mystical. Superscript: How do you

recognize

an illuminated person? Sadhguru: People even believed that there will be some signs in the body and burned Trishul on the back, on the forehead. "Look this has just appeared." In the West, people show their hands and there are marks here and say: "Look, I have crucifixion marks.

So Jesus has appeared for me." In India, Sanku will appear on the shoulder. You just burn. It can be marked with Sanku, chakra or crucifixion marks or any nonsense you want. In a way, lighting means that you are an impeccable life, there is no brand. So you marry and you think you are illuminated, I'm very sorry. So, if there are no brands, how do you

recognize

? You can't recognize. You can't recognize. How does anyone know that I am illuminated or not? I never made a statement about it. So how do you know? Do you just assume?

Yes. Look, you go and sit in front of your kindergarten master. Do you know how aware it is? No, but he or she knows ABC. You don't know, so you feel. So right now we are talking about Xyz. You don't know, so you feel. So what does it matter if I have recognition from another place or not? You want to learn Xyz, you feel here. You don't want, you go. So what is known as lighting? You know there is something called as dawn. It is a good word. I like that. It's called dawn. But it's a day of rest.

The day broke. Is? No, it's a night that broke. Hello? Did the day broke or the night broke? Participants: Night in ruins. Sadhguru: Night in ruins. Night means what in our perception? Participants: darkness. Sadhguru: darkness. If you were an owl, it would be different. On his night of perception it means uncomfortable because dark. His visual apparatus does not feel comfortable in the dark. That is why we invent all these lights and this and that. Because? Because we don't feel comfortable when we are dark because we don't know what is what. In light, we see things clearly.

Then, if the night broke, that means that clarity appeared: all this is the dawn that is doing to you. You couldn't see, you were fighting, the sun came out, suddenly, you know where to go, where to go, what to enter, what not to enter. All this is lighting. (Applause) Clarity came where you see everything clearly. You know there was a book that we were publishing, this is a series of talks and something came to give a title. Then, I looked a little at the content and then said: "Of mystics and errors." Our English department said: "Sadhguru, this is too much in the face.

Say something a little more gentle." People always ask me "Sadhguru, say something little more soft." You are able to. Come on! I am capable, but I don't want to say it because people will twist and turn it in many ways. If you say it in a slapped manner, they don't sad. Then, I said: "Of mystics and errors." What it means is that there are only two types of people, mystics and errors. If you see things as they are, people will label it as mystical. So what are they? They are a mistake. They are making mistakes about perceiving basic aspects of life, that's all.

Yes, make mistakes about perception. Why are they making mistakes about perception? His hand always immerses himself in his memory. That's why we say karma. They are confusing memory with intelligence, that is all the mistake they have made. Once you confuse the memory with intelligence, ah, then you are in poor condition. If you have some memory about something that other people do not know, it seems academic. Look, people read ten books and become academics. People have just read a book and become religious. Just a book, how does it qualify you to become a representative of God? If you read more than one book, then you can't be, right?

You just have to read only one book. So, this is confusing memory with intelligence. Our entire educational system is just this garbage: to confuse memory with intelligence. If you confuse your memory with intelligence, we call you a Karma case. You are a case of Karma, because you live outside your memory, not out of your intelligence. If you live outside your intelligence, without mixing your memory and intelligence, then people say: "Oh, it is illuminated." Because whatever you bring in front of him, he will look at him and say this is what he is. Simply because I do not mix memory and intelligence, that's all.

As simple as it seems. Everything you are now is memory. You are a man or a woman, this is a memory. Not memory means only conscious memory in your head. Your body remembers, right? Hello? Participants: Yes. Sadhguru: If you and I ate the same food, I will not become a woman, you will not become a man. The same meal enters me and becomes a man, the same meal enters you and becomes a woman, this is for memory, right? The body remembers. The body remembers, if you and the monkey eat the same food, he will not become you, he will not become him.

Because the body remembers. There is evolutionary memory, genetic memory, elementary memory, atomic memory, conscious levels, unconscious memory, articulated and inarticulate levels of memory, who you are in yourself is memory. So, if your intelligence has to be free by heart, that means you are free from yourself. That's all.
