Life....

"For most people, the day-to-day experience of life is just a bundle of impressions gathered through perceptions. All the time you perceive something. You look at a tree, at the sky, at an animal, at a bird, at the people around you; all of these are certain transactions. All the time these transaction are happening through your five senses, either by seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, or touching. All the time in so many ways you are absorbing impressions of millions of forms of life and other objects around you.

What you normally call 'life' is just the constant happening of this transaction. How you transact or communicate with a certain aspect of life fundamentally depends on how you have done it before. What kind of impressions you gather of somebody who is sitting in front of you right now is simply decided by past impressions you have within you. In other words, in this way of perceiving life there is no sense of freedom. This kind of perception is just a reinforcement of bondage, because you experience things the way your mind is conditioned to experience them all the time.

What perception means is this: right now if you look at me, it's certain energy transaction. Actually, what you call life is just a movement of energy. Energy is always dynamic, constantly in motion in so many ways. So this is constant energy transactions. It goes on all the time between subject and object.

Because this whole transaction happens between object and subject, you need two entities. But if there are two entities, there is no spirituality. If you and other exists, if God and devil exists, if heaven and hell exists, then there is no spirituality. Whether you communicate with a stone or you communicate with God, it is the same. It is the same level of ignorance, because there are still two entities. Duality still exists."

- Sadhguru.
