An Untold Story of Sadhguru Sri Brahma’s Extraordinary Mastery | Sadhguru

The transcript explores the concept of Siddhi and Siddhasana in yoga, explaining that achieving Siddhi involves reducing interdependency with the external world and becoming self-sufficient. It further clarifies that Siddhasana is a journey towards becoming a creator, not merely a part of creation, and involves a detachment from transactions with the outside world, emphasizing the importance of serving one master (the source of creation) and not engaging in duality.

Siddhi and Siddhasana

• 00:01:10 Siddhi is a state of complete integration and independence, achieved through yoga practice. It involves lessening dependence on external factors like food, air, and even breathing. Siddhasana is the process of reaching this state and reduces interdependency with the external world to a point where the individual becomes self-sufficient.

Journey to Creator

• 00:02:48 Becoming a Siddha is a journey towards becoming a creator rather than a part of creation. It involves disconnecting from external transactions and interactions. Reaching this level of mastery grants a profound independence where one's existence is rooted in the source of creation within.

Challenges of Siddhi

• 00:05:06 While Siddhi offers independence and the ability to become a creator, it presents challenges. Individuals pursuing Siddhi must maintain integrity in their actions, eating habits, and living conditions, as stability beyond a certain level requires vigilance. This path necessitates a level of conscious control that is difficult for most to sustain.

Detachment from Transactions

• 00:07:26 The core understanding of spirituality is to detach from transactions with the outside world. A Siddha does not engage in give-and-take with the world, rendering them 'incapable' of worldly transactions. It's about becoming solely connected to the source of creation, mirroring the concept of serving only one master as mentioned by Jesus.

Withdrawal from Society

• 00:08:11 Individuals on the spiritual path may withdraw from society to avoid transactional relationships. Transactions, in this context, are not limited to monetary exchanges but encompass all interactions that bind individuals to the external world. This withdrawal is necessary to focus on the inner source of creation and cultivate a state of being independent of external sustenance.
