“Individual transformation is the way to global transformation.”–Sadhguru

For those of you who may not recognize this icon, it was popularized by Obama during his campaign for ‘change’ in America. Sadhguru has said, though, that change is temporary whereas transformation is permanent.

“If I show you a seed and say, this will become a great tree, if you don’t know the connection between a seed and a tree you will only see it as an insignificant little seed that can never transform into a huge and strong tree. Disbelief is all you will feel. But if you nurture it, you will see the seed transform itself into a strong tree.”

From a Q&A session posted on Kavita Chhibber’s site.

Check out the below video, “Sacred Seed”:

All of us are given a seed that has the possibility of boundlessness. You are very careful and good, so you preserve the seed. I destroy the seed and make it into a tree.–Sadhguru

If you want a sacred seed to sprout and prosper you have to weed the place, cultivate the land, manure it, and you have to make sure enough water and sunlight finds its way. If you are afraid of the harshness of the sunlight and avoid it, you will also avoid the life-nourishing warmth of the sunlight. In your enslavement to the instinct of self-preservation you would like to avoid the sunlight; go stand in the shade. But you will miss the warmth of the life-nourishing light, too. That which is the basis of life is also that which ends life. That which burns also bakes. If you’re a good cook, you bake. If you’re a bad one, you burn.–Sadhguru
