Why Buddha’s Closest Disciple Didn’t Get Enlightened | Sadhguru - Bilingual Subtitles
Ananda Tita, out of his own device.
and deception.
He devised it in such a way that he will always be in Gautama's physical presence.
Gautama warned him, this is not good to fix a life like this.
You are fixing me up.
Like a wife would fix her husband.
Because Anandathita, being Gautama's elder brother, monk who put a condition on Gautama.
He said, right now I am your elder brother.
I can command you to do whatever I want.
But once I become your disciple, I will have no such power.
So let me exercise this right,
and now I'm telling you, after I become your monk and your disciple, never should you send me away from your physical presence.
I must always be in your physical presence.
Never you should say, go there, do that, do this.
Always you must keep me next to you.
Gautama said, you are trying to fix me up like a wife.
Never should love anybody, never you should do this.
This is not good for you.
This is not at all in the interest of your well-being.
But as an elder brother, you are asking me, and if you insist, I will abide by this.
But I'm telling you, this is not good for you.
Ananda said, it doesn't matter, but I must be in your physical presence.
She stretched it to ridiculous lengths.
This wanting to be in the physical presence of Gautama, he stretched it to ridiculous lengths.
It came to your point where after eight years break, Gautama went back to see him.
who was his wife, at least.
Yes, sure there is a very proud woman.
Gautama being her husband at that time and he assured that I was an infant child.
Gautama left the house without telling her in the middle of the night like a thief.
He did that because he admitted that he did not have the courage to face him.
If he looked her in the eye, his determination to go in search of death.
May falter, if he looks at his child when the child is awake and calls him father, he is longing to know May falter.
So he left in the night.
Now he is going back after eight years,
a fully enlightened being,
but he is sensitive enough to appreciate the emotions of Yeshoda,
how she would have felt and how she is still angry with what happened to her life.
What happened to Gautama's life is fantastic.
What happened to Yeshua, there is not a good thing.
He knows that.
So he is going there to see what he can offer to her now to compensate for what she has lost in his eight years.
So it is a sensitive situation.
So, he told Ananda, this relieved me from the promise that I made you.
This is not for myself.
For me, she is normal my wife, I have grown beyond those things, but for her, I am still her husband.
who deserted her without telling her, without giving a warning about it.
So this is a sensitive emotion for her.
She's a proud woman, it is not good for you to be there.
Ananda said, you must keep your promise.
Gautama bowed down and said,
okay, and he took her, took him there also into that situation when Yeshoda saw that he's come with an assistant monk to face her.
She just flew into your age.
He said, this one's relieved me of this promise that I made.
This is nothing spiritual, that you are going to miss anything.
This is about my wife.
He said, no.
Then towards the end of Gautama's life, I Gautama's work created many enlightened beings, but Ananda was still the same man.
One service he has done for us is he recorded everything, events that happened according to his understanding.
But he recorded everything very diligently.
So people asked, why is he still like this?
So many people just came and met you for a moment and they got enlightened.
They have transformed themselves in so many ways.
But he is always sitting next to you and why is he like this?
Gautama just said, a spoon cannot taste the soup.
What you refer to as the guru is just a certain energy, a possibility.
It's not the person.
So the physical presence is it important?
It is very important.
But the physical need not mean the physical body.
The grace is not a anything.
We can make it very physical.
It's as physical as the breeze that you feel.
It's as physical as the sunlight.
Initially, when a person is just beginning to become receptive, being in the physical presence
of the Guru becomes very essential because your way of perception is only seeing and hearing and five-centers.
Because of this, you want to hold him in your eye, you want to hold him in your ears.
This is the way you know he's there.
Yes, it is a necessity in the beginning, but you need not remain there all the time.
He will be very physically present.
In different ways, it is a light that matters.
You don't have to hug the light bulb.
You don't go and hug the sun, do you?
You enjoy the sunlight.
It's nourishing your life.
You don't even look up at him.
Still you enjoy the sunlight.
Just that way.
Right now, it is a certain person has become a representative of that energy and that space.
The nature of the Guru is not limited to time and space,
so it is not because you sit next to the light bulb, you get the maximum light.
You could be a thousand.
and you may receive more grace than the person who is right now sitting next to that person.
The guru is on all the time.
Speech no speech.
But you pay attention to him only when this willy man is speaking.
If you learn to pay attention to him all the time, you see
