Sadhguru
has said that what we know is what we perceive through
our five senses and that our mind is a collection of garbage
that has accumulated throughout the course of life. But
he says there is another way of knowing. By the time I
left for India, I was walking an amazing three miles a
day – a marked improvement from the limited 150 feet
.
After
a few days, Sadhguru inquired whether I was still on the
respirator at night. I explained that I was and without
it I was tired, confused, and worse had angina. He told
me to go to the Dhyanalinga temple and sleep three nights
there, to do kriyas for one and a half hours, and
to stop using the respirator. Dhyanalinga temple is a
multi-religious, meditation temple located at the ashram.
There is no worship performed; people come and sit inside
in silence and if they are open, they will become meditative.
For the first time in years, I slept so peacefully and
had no problem breathing. I began to feel that the Himalayan
trek would definitely work out.
The
major climb was to Kedarnath. This seemingly endless 14
kms uphill haul was real challenge for me. As I walked,
I saw many people in good health getting on donkeys or
being carried by men due to extreme fatigue. But again,
the mantra and turning the doing over to Sadhguru, along
with a hug and encouragement from him during the climb,
enabled me to reach this height – yet another miracle.
It
was a tough haul but I made the full 14 kms walk to an
altitude of 14,300 feet, a height my doctors said could
be fatal for me without oxygen, even without any exertion.
I could only understand it as an incredible gift and blessing
from my guru.
