Is Life Freaking You Out? The Reason People Lose Their Balance

Generally, all of us have about the same sized skull. To a large extent, most human beings have enough brain material in their head. Everybody, except somebody who may be seriously deformed at birth. Almost every average human being has what it takes to do life. Why is it that one person’s brain sparkled with genius, another person’s brain sparkles with pain and suffering and tension and stress and whatever else? He thinks that nobody knows what happens in people’s minds. It’s easy to question of higher intelligence, easy to question off some magical influence from somewhere, or is a question of bringing the necessary balance within yourself so that you become available to the magic of life? A skewed intelligence, however smart it may look on the periphery, cannot make this life happen beautifully. Overall balance is needed. Balance on all levels. Otherwise, our ready body and our ready brain will function against us to a point where the only idea or the only form of relaxation today in the world, either the sleep or drink or drug. All you’re trying to do is be brainless for a period of time because brain has become such a nuisance. If you didn’t have one, you would be at least peaceful. Yes.

What took millions of years of evolution to achieve today has become a nuisance. What is the greatest miracle within this human frame has become a misery manufacturing machine. There are many aspects to it. I don’t want to make it too simplistic, but above all, above all, the most important thing is balance or lack of balance. This human mechanism, which is the most sophisticated instrument on the planet, if you do not pay enough attention to it, if it turns against you, there is nothing here in the world which can save you because nothing is more sophisticated in this one because this is of the highest level of evolution and sophistication. If this turns against you, nobody can save you. I want you to know this. If this should not turn against you, to know the entirety of what this is, it’ll take a certain level of attention. To bring to balance to this doesn’t take too much. It is just that you doing a few fundamental things absolutely wrong. That’s all.

To know the entirety of what this is, that’s a whole lot of attention, time, education, assistance, guidance. So many things are involved. To bring a reasonable sense of balance into you, it doesn’t take much. You’re doing a few things basically wrong with life. When I say basically wrong, one thing is, I want everybody to understand, all human experiences generated from within is valued. All human experiences is generated. At any time, if you feel happy or unhappy, miserable, joyful, excited, in a state of agony, it doesn’t matter what happens, what is your experience? Pleasantness or unpleasantness? Just to know that it’s happening from within and it can only happen from within. You can either take external stimuli or you can create your own stimuli. Essentially, it happens from within.

This one thing, if it is not grasped, when you feel miserable, if you think it’s this one, you’re gone. You’re just, the keyboard is here, but you’re punching the wall. It’s not going to work. This one, basic, fundamental thing is something that almost 90% of the humanity’s always doing it wrong. Whenever they feel miserable, they think it must be this one or that one or that one or that one. No. All human experience is generated from within. If something is feeling unpleasant, first thing is to look at this. What am I doing wrong with this? Am I eating wrong? Am I sleeping wrong? Am I sitting wrong? Am I breathing wrong? Is my heart beating wrong? Something. My body chemistry is wrong. Something is wrong with this, not with that. The moment you think by kicking the wall you can fix this one, then you made a fundamental mistake. The harder you try, the further away from it you go.

This possibility of bringing balance to the system, first of all, is a fundamental nature of yoga. The most basic forms of yoga, whether it is, I know many of you are doing probably the Yoga Namaskar or Suyra Namaskara or Shuddhi Kriya. These are all basic forms of yoga. The first thing is to bring balance. Once there is balance, then you can build a tower on top of this. If there is no balance, whatever you build will only lead to more trouble. The more basic you are, the better it is. This is what a whole lot of humanity’s seeking. Somehow to remain basic, because if you build something, it feels terrible, then there is no fundamental balance. Anything standing up without balance is a big problem. The best thing is to lie down, stay close to the ground. If you grow tall, it’ll be a problem, so remain at the minimum. A whole lot of humanity has reduced themselves to a minimal possible thing in their life. If I don’t get into trouble, that’s good enough. A whole lot of humanity. This is a serious waste of evolutionary work.

What has happened on this planet in the last few million years to evolve life from it’s simplest form to what it is today? Just wasting the entire process. Mother Earth is not going to let you get away with it. You will pay the price if you try to make life go backwards. It will make sure you pay the price. Instead of trying to do this, that, so many things. The first thing is to do something, to bring balance. First step is just this, that everything that I generate from within me in the form of experience sensations: painful, pleasant, wonderful, horrible, whatever I go through is essentially generated from within me and nobody else but me. Others may help, you know? Others help. If you’re miserable, some people will fuel it. If you’re joyful, some people will fuel that and help. There are different types of people around us. They assist you as they know their life, but essentially, it is your making.

This is the fundamental aspect of yoga, the first teaching that came out was that it is your karma. That means it’s your making. Your life and the experience of your life is entirely your making. If this one thing doesn’t sink into you absolutely, you will not make the necessary changes. You still think, yes, sir, I know it’s my karma, but you know, my husband, what he did. You can’t fix this. First, you understand, this is my making. Entirely my making. The moment you see it, you have the ability to change it. I see it, but you know what he did to me yesterday? Now you can’t change it. It doesn’t matter who did what. What is happening within you, your experience of your life is entirely your making. This is your karma. Karma means not something that drops upon you from somewhere, karma means your action, your making, it’s your doing. If you just said this one thing, creating the necessarily balance will happen automatically.

Once there is balance, then you will want to try many things. Otherwise, I’m talking about too many things up there in the sky. You will only be a spectator. You will not be the one who flies. You will only be a spectator, because when there is no balance, you don’t want to go three inches above the ground. This is one fundamental thing. We’ve been talking about this in many forms, but if you want to make the full scope, if you want to make use of the full scope of this body and this brain, of this human possibility, of this consciousness that we refer to as human being, then first thing is this, that you understand and fix it within you absolutely. That the quality of my life is entirely my making and nobody else and nobody else. If you fix this one thing, balance will come. Once balance comes, I am impatient to take you to places where only people with balance can walk. I just cannot.
