All the religious beliefs have been instructing you to eliminate versus nature. Whatsoever is all-natural, is condemned. Faiths state that you need to take care of to do something unnatural, just then can you obtain out of the jail time of biology, physiology, psychology, as well as all the wall surfaces that surround you. But if you go on in consistency with your body, with your mind, with your heart, then the faiths claim you will never have the ability to exceed you. That’s where I oppose all the faiths. They have actually put a dangerous seed in your being, so you stay in your body, yet you do not like your body.
The body serves you for 70, 80, 90, also 100 years, and also there is no various other system that science has actually been able to developed which can be compared with the body. Its intricacies, its miracles that it takes place doing for you … as well as you don’t also thank. You treat your body as your enemy, although your body is your friend.
It cares for you in every feasible way, while you are awake, while you are asleep. Also in sleep it takes place caring for you. When you are sleeping and also a crawler starts going on your leg, your leg tosses it away without troubling you. The leg has a tiny brain of its very own. For little issues there is no need to go to the central system, to go to the mind– that a lot the leg could do. An insect is biting you, your hands relocate or kill it, as well as your sleep is not disturbed. The hand is not expected to have a brain, but definitely it has something which could just be called a very little brain. Also while you are asleep your body is continually shielding you, and also doing things which it is not typically meant to. Possibly every cell of your body has a little brain in it. And there are millions of cells in your body, numerous small brains, walking around, continually caring for you.
You go on consuming all kinds of things without troubling exactly what takes place when you swallow them. You don’t ask the body whether its system, its chemistry, will certainly have the ability to digest exactly what you are eating. Yet somehow your internal chemistry goes on benefiting almost a century. It has an automatic system of replacing components which have failed. It takes place tossing them out, producing repairs, and you need to do nothing about it, takes place occurring by itself. The body has a certain wisdom of its own.
And the faiths say that the body is your enemy, you have to deprive it, you have to hit it hard, because unless you deprive it, abuse it, how are you mosting likely to be without it? They state the only method to be cost-free of it is to reduce all attachments to it. They educate you disgust for your body, and also this is something so unsafe. The very idea transforms your biggest close friend into your best enemy.
These faiths go on claiming to you, “You have to be always fighting, you have to removal versus the existing. Do not hear the body– whatever it says, do just the opposite. The body is hungry, let it be starving. You starve it, it needs that therapy.” It simply serves you without any settlement from your side, no income, no facilities, and religions says go against it. When it wishes to drop off to sleep, try to remain awake.
Gurdjieff was doing the very same thing in the twentieth century. It certainly gives you a fantastic ego power. When the body wants food, you claim no. ‘No’ has world power in it. You are the master. You reduce the body to a slave – not just to a slave, you force the body to keep its mouth shut: “Whatsoever I determine is going to be done, you are not to interfere.” Gurdjieff used to do just the reverse of exactly what Jainism does. Jainism starves you– however the approach coincides and the result is the exact same, Gurdjieff used to compel his devotees to go on eating. When the body was stating no, he would certainly state, “Go on …” Every night, that was the peak point for Gurdjieff’s disciples.
He was an excellent cook, and as much as unique foods are concerned he was unparalleled, yet that does not make him a spiritual male. He used to cook odd foods which you would have never ever consumed, your body is absolutely strange with the best ways to absorb them, what kind of components he was putting in those foods! And afterwards he used to stand there, compeling everybody, no one could state no to the master. The body remained in revolt but he would certainly take place forcing them to eat, and afterwards the alcohol consumption would certainly start. He would certainly require you to consume. The routine utilized to continue from 3 to 6 hours, it was not a tiny affair. In the center of the evening, because whole area only Gurdjieff was awake. All the others were subconscious, throwing up, everyone dropping, in every type of pose. It was a dead location, ugly.
What was the purpose? The function coincided: to show you the best ways to fight the body. The old adherents would slowly begin getting familiar with it. They would certainly not throw up, although they had actually eaten so a lot that it was involving their throats, yet they would not throw up. Now they had regulated it enough. The disciples that had followed him from Russia were the earliest team. They would drink as much wine as he desired and they would certainly not drop subconscious. That offered world power– that you are not a slave of the body, you are a master of the body. It is the exact same power that the Jain monks obtain from fasting for months together. The very same ego is satisfied.
My demand to you is: Do not combat with your body.
It is not your foe, it is your buddy. It is a gift of nature to you. It belongs to nature. It is joined with nature in every feasible way. You are connected not just with breathing, with sunrays you are linked, with the scent of blossoms you are connected, with the moonlight you are connected. You are connected from almost everywhere, you are not a separate island. Drop that concept. You belong to this entire continent, as well as yet … it has given you an individuality. This is what I call a miracle.
You are component and also parcel of existence, yet you have an individuality. Presence has actually done a wonder, has actually made feasible something impossible.
So agreeing with your body, you will certainly be in harmony with nature, with existence. Rather of going versus the present, go with the existing. Remain in a ‘release.’ Enable life to occur. Do not require anything, in any great name. For some holy book, for the benefit of some holy perfect, do not interrupt your harmony.
Nothing is much more valuable than to be harmonious, in accord with the whole.
