A Man Who Learnt a Magical Secret Mantra – Sadhguru

Sadhguru tells us a story of a south Indian man who wanted magical powers, his travels to Tibet, and what happened when he met an old monk who gave him a secret mantra.

Goraknath’s fierce love for his guru, Matsyendranath, drove him beyond all discipline on many occasions. Seeing that his disciple had the capability to change the world if only he could channelize his intensity, Matsyendranath constantly tempered it. Here is one such incident.

Sadhguru looks at the various stages of one’s spiritual growth, and how one aspect – the divya manas – confers seemingly miraculous powers.

Gautama Buddha’s intense seeking led him on an extreme path which nearly destroyed his physical body.
