The most dominant factor of my life has been my Guru, and nothing else. Even today, in my mind, or rather literally in every crevice of my body, in every pulsation of my system, and in my very energy, it is his presence that is the most dominant within me. To keep it this way has been easy for me because I do not have a mind of my own. Probably because of this, just about everything in me reverberates in a way that is far beyond me, far bigger than me.
I did not see my Guru as a man who touched me, though his touch brought me to the highest level of experience, and a revelation of life and beyond. The old mental structure within me somewhere would not accept a human being as a Guru, because it was said that unless it comes from Adiyogi, unless it comes from Shiva himself, it is not real. So the compassion of my Master made him turn himself into the form of Shiva.
I do not know if this was his act that he turned himself into this form, or if that is how he really was at that time. But this experience has left me in a place where ever since, I do not have to make any attempt to know anything. Whatever I need to know, He [Guru] and He [Shiva] are there, all the time.

In 2014, Sam Altman gave a 1-hour masterclass on turning ideas into billion-dollar companies.
His frameworks:
• Best ideas look terrible at first
• Small markets that grow fast
• Users who love, not like
10 timeless lessons:
1. The idea matters more than you think
🔥𝗦𝗮𝗱𝗵𝗴𝘂𝗿𝘂🔥: Gautama Buddha never sat for twelve years in one place. He never sat in meditation for long, hours either. He never went into that state where he could not come back. Many of his disciples, many Buddhist monks, went into very long meditations and never came out for years. Gautama himself never went because he saw it was not necessary for him. He practiced all the eight, he experienced all the eight kinds of Samadhis before his Enlightenment and discarded them. He said "This is not it." This is not going to take you any closer to Realization. It is just moving into a higher level of experience and probably you will get more caught up, because it is more beautiful than the current reality.
Here, in meditation, at least there is pain in your legs to remind you of the present reality. There, there is no pain to remind you, which is in one way or the other, more dangerous. Many yogis have been trapped in realities like this. They have created their own worlds.
Now I'm going into an area which is a twilight zone. There are many yogis who have created their own world around themselves. A yogi goes into his cave and he actually creates his own universe and lives there. This is not a joke. He creates everything that he wants. His own kind of planets, his own kind of earth, his own kind of everything, and he lives there happily. A universe is contained inside the cave.
In an atom's space, you can create a whole universe, because there is no 'this much' or 'that much'. That is all the creation of the mind. There are many yogis like this, but they are no closer to Realization than you are. He lives in a different world, that's all. He is probably more caught up than you, because he is the creator also; he has learned the art of creation. Do you understand?
So this does not become an ultimate release. This just becomes a different kind of action, a different way of doing things. An artist is just drawing a new world on a canvas; a yogi is actually creating it. The artist's creation is two dimensional, whereas the yogi's is three dimensional. This is more deceptive.
An artist gets so involved in the world that he is creating that he starts believing it is true, and it is true for him. A poet believes that whatever he writes is the truth. Similarly, a man who is painting, if he's deeply involved, believes that what he is painting is the truth. When two dimensional things are like this, if you create three dimensional things around yourself, definitely you're going to be more caught up with them. So, going off either into this state or that state is not the thing. This will not lead you to liberation.
There is sufficient energy here to take a lot of people into Samadhi states. If you want to go away like that for three or six months, it is possible, but what is the purpose? If a karmic situation arises and there is a need to go off, to hide you from the external world for a while, then with that purpose, it is done. That's different. That's the best Samadhi you can have.
You can live in heaven. You can do what you want, but this does not lead to dissolution. It doesn't lead to a blissful state. Maybe it creates happiness, maybe It creates peace to some extent, but it does not release you from everything. It's just another kind of karma.
Okay, right now, either fortunately or unfortunately, you've had certain glimpses of another dimension of life. What difference has it made? In terms of Realization, has it gotten you any closer? No.
If the goal is set, if you have made Realization the top priority in your life, then whatever you do, if it does not take you a step closer, is meaningless. A man who wants to go up Mount Everest, for instance, will not take one step sideways unless it's absolutely necessary. Every ounce of his energy is spent only on reaching the summit. When you want to transcend your own consciousness, you need every ounce of what you have, still it is not enough.
