Inquiry - Waking Up From Beliefs Waking Up To Life - Paperback

by Jijnasu Vasudeva (Author)

You want your experience of life to be mind-blowing. That is what everything finally boils down to. Isn't it? Whatever you may be pursuing in your life, all that you are essentially seeking is to intensify your experience of being Alive; all that you want is to feel high within you. But presently, this pursuit is happening rather haphazardly, and you are randomly chasing all kinds of intensities to jolt yourself with: pleasure, sex, chemical stimulation, relationships, recognition, power, and so on; and after a while, you inadvertently start sticking even to anger, misery, fear, and sometimes even pain. You begin gravitating towards intensities that do not blow you away, but break you up; intensities that do not enthuse you, but abuse your body and mind. And even when you manage to get overwhelmed by certain levels of sweetness, the results are accidental and short-lived. You abruptly catapult yourself to a high, but crash as soon as you take off. You are left smacking your lips much more than you have actually tasted anything.

Why is this happening? What is it that is holding us back? Where are we going wrong? And what are we to do? Hasn't anyone looked into this already? Hasn't there been any orchestrated efforts towards understanding this issue and addressing it?

Indeed there have been. If you want to be blown away by the immanent immensity of Life, there is a Math to it; and more importantly, there is a Melody to it. And that is what Spirituality is about. That is what the science of Yoga is about.
