Aura - What You Need To Know | Sadhguru

Transcript

Sadhguru: Auras are of many kinds. Too many fancy things have been told about it by the... particularly by the New Age community today. What you call as 'aura' is even
more superficial than the skin. If you focus on the surface, you will have a miserable aura. Sadhguru: Every substance on the planet has a certain field of energy around it, or, what you see as substance
on the planet is actually energy. It's a scientific fact that the whole existence is energy. One part of the energy has manifested itself into a certain level of reverberation
which makes it a physical form. Another part of the energy does
not manifest itself into a physical form, but it still has a form. So that form which is not yet physical,
or refuses to become physical, but still maintains a form, that’s an aura; or that’s being called an aura. Auras are of many kinds. One can carry from a pitch black aura to a pure white aura; between these two, there are a million shades. Essentially, the physical, mental, emotional, and energy status of who you are right now, in a certain way, is represented by your aura, or it's visible through the aura. Too many fancy things have been told about it by the… particularly by the New Age community today. A lot of it is fiction, but there is some substance to it. I don’t think you should
concern yourself about such things. Don’t try to see people’s aura,
aura is the periphery of the person. I would like you to look little
more at the core of the being, rather than looking at the surface. Surface is for the doctors, because they want to fix some physical part that may be going wrong with somebody. Surface... should not be the interest of a spiritual seeker. This is more surface than the skin. What you call as aura is even
more superficial than the skin, because it's even further out. So, it may have certain… if one has the necessary insight, may have certain, give you certain access to the nature of the person, but
you're only looking at the psychological, emotional, and physical structure of the human being. It is best, people on the spiritual path
ignore the aura, yours and everybody’s, and focus on the core. If you're focused on the core,
you will have a wonderful aura. If you focus on the surface,
you will have a miserable aura. So, don’t keep looking at other people’s aura and your own. (Laughter) It's time you looked at the core of this one, and that one. If you look at the core of this one,
then naturally you’ll see the core of everything, because in core 'this and that' doesn’t exist. In core only this exists. On the surface, 'this and that' exists. So… you know, people said 'beauty is skin deep.' Yes, certain type of beauty is skin deep. You wouldn’t like somebody with their skin peeled off. If you saw somebody’s skin peeled off, you wouldn’t
think they're beautiful even if they're the same people; that way, yes. But aura is not even skin deep,
so it's not worth spending time on it. If you become conscious of the core,
the surface may be just visible to you. But you trying to see and read
people’s aura, this is a stupid thing to do; you'll waste your life trying to do such things. If you're conscious, if your perception is enhanced, you may see things. It's good to see things which are there.
If you start seeing things which are not there, that’s… you're graduating from ashram to asylum. (Few laugh) If lot of you go in that direction, we can
transform the ashram into an asylum. (Laughs) Yes. So it's very important,
we want to keep this as an ashram. You want to make it into an asylum? Hmm? No, we want to keep this as an ashram. So please, if you want to keep this as an
ashram, you must be focused on the core, not on the surface. Too much surface means we’ll make the place into an asylum. All kinds of nut cases who believe they're spiritual,
there are too many like that on the planet, they are the biggest deterrent for
other people to seek any spirituality. Because of too many nutcases like this, right-thinking people who are little more sensible,
don’t want to have anything to do with spirituality. So, please don’t make this into an asylum. If you need to go, we will promote you, but... (Laughs) don’t turn the place into an asylum.
