Sadhguru on the Basic Energy of the World
The basic energy in the world is just that – fire. So using fire as a way of keeping ourselves well is very much a part of the Yogic system. Lighting a lamp every night can make a world of difference to your well being.
Sadhguru
Akasha, Space, is one of The Five Elements manifesting in the creation of our body
Akasha (space) offers the space and freedom for each cell and organism to exist. Without space, there is no possibility for communiucation among the cells. Akasa predominates in all spaces and cavities of the body including cranial space, sinus space, joints, pores, tubes, arteries and veins. It is the suble element of sound that gives birth to space.
Sankhya Philosophy, Vasant Lad
Akasha, Space, is one of The Five Elements manifesting in the creation of our body
Akasha offers the space and freedom for each cell and organism to exist. Without space there is no possibility of communication among the cells. Akasha predominates in all spaces and cavities of the body including channels, joints, tunes, pores, arteries and veins. All the open systems in the body, the respiratory and gastrointestinal system are defined spaces created in etheric space, akasha.
Sadhguru speaks about the significance of the Akash element in enhancing one’s ability to perceive the mystical and as an important aspect in one’s spiritual journey. He also talks about how one can enhance the proportion of Akash in one’s body.
To nourish the human being into a greater possibility, it is very important how the water, the air, the earth, the fire and the fifth dimension – which is the largest one, the space or akash – behave.
AGNI – our digestive fire and more
The basic energy in the world is just that – fire. So using fire as a way of keeping ourselves well is very much a part of the Yogic system. Lighting a lamp every night can make a world of difference to your well being.
Sadhguru
The Sanskrit word for “fire,” agni is viewed as the very source of life, governing not only the digestion of food but also the digestion process of thoughts, emotions, and life experience. Ayurveda teaches that impaired agni is at the root of every imbalance, and that tending this fire in the digestive system is the first step in restoring balance.

Eckhart Tolle on Love and Peace
Glimpses of love and joy or brief moments of deep peace are possible whenever a gap occurs in the stream of thought. For most people, such gaps happen rarely and only accidentally, in moments when the mind is rendered “speechless,” sometimes triggered by great beauty, extreme physical exertion, or even great danger. Suddenly, there is inner stillness.
And within that stillness there is a subtle but intense joy,
there is love, there is peace.
— Eckhart Tolle

Heartfulness Meditation
Single handedly, what is the root cause, the infectious thing that creates a disease of the soiling of the environment, water, soil, air? To my understanding, one fundamental thing if we can tackle, will solve these problems. that is, regulate your thought pollution. How can you regulate your mind? Embrace spirituality. Meditate.
Daaji, Heartfulness Meditation
Dr. Lad shares his space as he connects with every client, every relationship in his life essentially – remaining established in the “gap” as a physician, as a father, as a husband, as a teacher:
SOHUM – Glory of choiceless passive awareness. Awareness is expansive – there is no difference between me and them. And out of that awareness, unconditional love takes place. He says: I truly love my clients – they also fall in love – this is the glory of unconditional love – not Dr. Lad’s glory – All of us have this glory. When listening – listen to the inner person from the inner person. Clinical work is meditation, even teaching is meditation.
Ayurveda’s Secrets for a Peaceful Mind
He discusses our relationship to silence and how to practice living in awareness without judgement or desire. Once we are able to live moment to moment without the afflictions of noise in our minds, then we have a peaceful mind.
“No no no. There is no difference between the peace and sound.
Sound is peace and peace is sound, There is a great deal of peace
when you listen to the call of a bird, the cry of a child or a bell of a church.
That peace is your awareness.You walk with peace, you eat with peace and you talk with peace.”
We pondered over the difference between sensation and perception.
