Quote of the day by Sadhguru: "Do Not Think Spirituality Means Having a Nice, Quiet Life. It Means Being On Fire"

Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev is an Indian spiritual Guru, yogi, author and founder of Isha Foundation, who is known for making spirituality accessible through his teachings and presence in the social media. He says ""Do Not Think Spirituality Means Having a Nice, Quiet Life. It Means Being On Fire", now let's understand the core meaning of this quote in detail. According to him, Spirituality is taken as an escape to be detached and become silence, away from chaos towards calmness but its not the reality. We all often think that spiritual person must be calm, very soft spoken and have never suffered anything in life. But this is totally wrong because the life of spiritual people is not easy at all as we think. This is full of challenges and fire. Spirituality does not mean they have not experienced anything and escaped from chaotic life but on the other hand their life is full of intense experiences and heightened awareness. Spiritual is often misunderstood as a quiet life, silence and comfort. Spirituality is all about awakening, becoming more alive, knowing more than others, becoming more sensitive to every dimension of existence, understanding the energies and vibrations of the person. He meant that spirituality is all about knowing every aspect of life, living life with clarity, having high intensity and purpose. The fire inside you transform your life from an unknown to known. Spirituality burns your darkness, ignorance, fear and limitation. It refines you as a person. Here, the fire means the awakening of your Agni tatva or fire element that represents the spiritual growth according to Vedas. It means you always get stuck in fire like situation or have that kind of experiences in life but you come of that with grace. Life tests these people a lot and in many ways. Fire means the transformation of your personality from being unknown to known to everything. You start understand the secrets of this world. You start receiving the messages from divine energies. Spiritual people may look calm from outside but they intense from inside and they become poised. Spirituality makes you a totally different person that demands courage and you become a warrior that does not come from comfort.
