The Guru is always ready to impart their knowing. But are we READY to receive it?

Sadhguru : When Adiyogi found that each one of the Sapta Rishis had grasped one aspect of the knowing and he could not find another human being who could grasp all seven dimensions, that is when he decided to deposit his knowing into Mount Kailash so that all seven dimensions of yoga, all seven dimensions of knowing the mechanics of life are preserved in one place and one source. Kailash became the greatest mystical library on the planet – a live library, not just with information, but alive!

This is why in the Hindu way of life, it is said that Kailash is the Abode of Shiva. It does not mean he is still sitting up there dancing or hiding in the snow. It means he deposited his knowing there. When a person realizes himself and his perception goes far beyond what is considered normal perception, what he has perceived cannot always be transmitted to people around him. Only a small part of it may be transmitted.  It is very rare for any master to find people to whom he can transmit all of himself. Most masters go without ever being able to transmit what they really want to. I would say even in my life, what I am doing in terms of imparting is just 2% of what I am. If I can increase it by one percentage point before I fall dead, that’s a great achievement.

So where do you leave all this? You don’t want this to become lost. So for thousands of years, realized beings always traveled to Kailash and deposited their knowledge in a certain energy form, using the mountain as a basis. It is because of this that South Indian mysticism always says that Agastya, who is the basis of this form of mysticism, lives in the Southern face of Kailash. The Buddhists say three of their main Buddhas live in the mountain.  The Jains say Rishabh, the first of the twenty-four Teerthankaras, lives in Kailash. He came to Kailash wanting to grasp all that is there and take it to the world.   Rishabh planned a three-month trip but the three months stretched into seven years. He endlessly gobbled the stream  of knowledge that is there.  He was never satisfied.  He wanted to take it all. He made a phenomenal effort, but when he tried to take all of it, it took him. That is the only way it could happen. You cannot contain it, but it can easily contain you. In my opinion, no individual  human being can ever grasp all of it. It’s too much. We can take quite a substantial amount, but not all of it. The only way to grasp it all is to become one with it.

For a spiritual seeker, Kailash is like touching the ultimate source on this planet. For one who is in pursuit of mysticism, this is the place. There is no other place like this.
