THE TECHNOLOGY OF THOUGHT

Sadhguru (sod-guru) is one of the wisest teachers I know. And yes, he’s a real live guru from India. He even looks and sounds the part. Relatively few of us westerners are familiar with his tradition because historically Christianity has kept its theological distance from such “non-Christian” eastern influences.

It’s time for that to change.

Sadhguru teaches classical hatha yoga. It focuses on what I would call “practical spirituality” and presents an extremely logical approach to life and God--as did Jesus. No threat. Rather, it invites us to think about how we think via refreshing-yet-ancient wisdom. 

Here’s an example:

The kind of yoga he teaches is not a religion, not a philosophy, not an ideology. It’s not even what most people think of as spirituality. Instead, he calls it a “technology of thought”--something that doesn’t require a system of beliefs, years of practice, the mastering of some expertise or the amassing of educational degrees. But, like any technology, simply includes certain things that anyone can do--like prayer or meditation--so it’s available to everyone. Right now.

Like all good spiritual teachers, Sadhguru invites us to grow and mature, to experience and express genuine love and to know real inner peace. His approach is intriguing, enlightening and freeing. Check him out on YouTube or at his website (isha.sadhguru.org).  

In the meantime, let’s consider: How practical is our spirituality? After all, isn’t that the purpose of all religion?
