Sadhguru: Yoga does not 
mean twisting your body,
standing on your head, holding 
your breath or some other nonsense.
The religions of the world have been screaming
for a long time that “God is everywhere.”
When Einstein said E=MC2, that is not his
living experience.
That is his mathematical deduction.
Questioner: This question is 
not related to Yoga.
Sadhguru, there were question 
that I have come with
and one of those is what was the
reason of creation of this universe?
Sadhguru: Why are you asking me, 
I didn’t do it (Laughter)?
No, you first said it’s not related to Yoga.
There is nothing which is not related to Yoga
because Yoga means union.
Yoga does not mean twisting your body,
standing on your head, 
holding your breath or some other nonsense.
Yoga means union, union 
means all-inclusiveness,
everything has become one in your experience.
Now this is not our idea, 
because that is the way existence is,
that it is all-inclusive.
There is nothing here which 
you can separate from the other.
Today modern science is proving it 
to you beyond any doubt
that the whole existence
is just one energy, yes?
The religions of the world have 
been screaming for a long time
that “God is everywhere.”
Whether you say, “God is everywhere,”
or you say, “Everything is one energy,”
are you talking about different realities
or the same reality?
“God is everywhere,” 
“Everything is one energy,”
are we talking about the 
same thing?
A scientist never experienced this.
He only mathematically deduced it.
When Einstein said E=MC2, that is not his
living experience.
That is his mathematical deduction.
A religious person never experienced it, 
he just believes it,
because somebody that he 
believes in said so.
Now Yoga means you are a hard case.
You are not willing to settle for deductions
or belief systems, you want to know it.
So if you sit here,
if you can experience
the whole existence as yourself,
then you are in Yoga.
So there is no question 
not related to Yoga, okay?
It is very related.
Now what you are asking is 
“Why creation?” isn't it?
When it comes to creation 
you never ask, “Why?”
you ask, “How?” because if 
you ask why creation,
I can tell you, one day you know,
God had nothing to do,
he was playing marbles.
One marble fell this way 
and became planet Earth,
another flew up and became Sun.
Shall I continue?
This is a ridiculous story, 
you don’t like it,
but I can tell you a nice elaborate story
which you would like to believe.
Take little more time, that's all.
If I tell you a more elaborate story, you
will believe, isn't it?
If you believe, you have an interesting story
going, a positive story.
If you disbelieve my story 
you have a negative story going,
but both ways you are not any closer 
to reality than you are right now, isn't it?
Yes or no?
If you believe my story, does 
it get it close to you?
If you disbelieve my story, does it 
get it close to you?
No, you will just have stories.
Maybe what I am telling you 
is a true story.
Even if it is a true story,
still it doesn’t
get you access to reality, isn't it?
Maybe I am telling you a true story,
but even if it is a true story, 
in your experience
it is just a story, isn't it?
Stories will entertain you,
stories will solace you, stories 
will not liberate you,
you must know this.
So you must decide first of all,
are you looking for solace 
or are you looking for a solution.
If you are looking for solace, you 
just came to the wrong place,
because I am not a 
solace to anybody.
I am here to disturb the shit out of you.
If you had not asked questions, 
I will raise those questions for you.
This is not a place to say “Everything will
be okay, everything will be okay,
don’t worry, everything will be all right.”
They have been saying this 
to you for a long time.
That will help you to sleep well tonight.
I am not interested whether 
you sleep well or not,
I am interested that you 
come awake tomorrow morning.
What's your interest?
So people have been focusing 
on how to put you to sleep.
So they told you stories.
I won't tell you a story, 
because if you ask, “Why,”
I can only tell you 
a story, isn't it?
Right now, this question has come… if you
were feeling right now ecstatic,
would you ask, “Why creation?”
You would be glad, 
you are created, isn't it?
Right now, the experience of life has 
become burdensome somehow,
that is when you ask, 
“Why all this creation.”
So first let's change the experience of life,
then the right questions will come.
Right now the question itself is 
coming from a wrong perspective,
because you are not 
asking this question
with the right sense of depth in it.
Very easily you are 
articulating this question.
You are asking “What is the 
basis of my existence?”
You are asking “What is the nature of my
existence?”
But you are asking it too casually,
because you still do not 
know the pain of ignorance.
You are still enjoying your ignorance.
You still believe ignorance is bliss.
You are not being torn apart 
by the pain of ignorance.
If such a thing was happening,
then I would
answer this in a different way.
If you could not ask the question…
if tears came to you if 
you just thought about the question,
t hen I will answer it in a completely
different way which is not verbal.
But now you are so clearly 
articulating the question,
you do not know the depth of the
question that you are asking, yet.
