EXCITING INFORMATIVE AND ENTERTAINING MantrasMy mother had only one eye. When I was growing up, I hated her for it. I hated the uninvited attention it got me at school. I hated how the other children stared at her and looked away in disgust. My mother worked two jobs to provide for the family, but I was just embarrassed by her and didn’t want to be seen with her.
Every time my mother came to visit me at school, I wanted her to disappear. I felt a surge of hatred towards the woman who made me the laughing stock of the school. In a moment of extreme anger, I even once told my mother I wanted her to die. I was completely unconcerned about her feelings.
As I grew up, I did whatever was in my power to distance myself from my mother. I stud-ied hard and got a job overseas so I wouldn’t have to meet her. I got married and start-ed raising a family of my own. I got busy with my job and family and with providing a comfortable life for my beloved children. I didn’t even think about my mother anymore.
Out of the blue, my mother came to vis-it one day. Her one-eyed face scared my young children and they started crying. I was angry at my mother for showing up unan-nounced and I forbid her to ever return to my home and new family life. I yelled and screamed, but my mother quietly apolo-gized and left without saying another word.
An invitation to a high school reunion took me back to my hometown after de-cades. I could not resist driving past my childhood home and stopping by the old shack. My neighbors told me my mother had passed away and left a letter for me.
“My dear child:
I must begin by apologizing for visiting your home unannounced and frightening your beautiful children. I am also deeply sorry that I was such an embarrassment and source of humiliation to you when you were growing up.
I have learned that you may be coming back to town for your reunion. I may no longer be there when you come, and I think it is time to tell you an incident that happened when you were a young child. You see, my dear child, you were involved in an accident and lost one eye. I was devastated at the thought of my beloved child growing up with only one eye. I wanted you to see the beautiful world in all its glory, so I gave you my eye.
My dear child, I always have and always will love you from the bottom of my heart. I have never regretted my decision to give you my eye, and I am at peace that I was able to give you the ability to enjoy a complete life.
HDBaseT, promoted and advanced by the HDBaseT Alliance, is a consumer electronic (CE) and commercial connectivity standard for transmission of uncompressed high-definition video (HD), audio, power, home network-ing, Ethernet, USB, and some control signals, over a common category (Cat5e or above) cable with a standard connector (8P8C, often “RJ45”).[2]
The HDBaseT Alliance, incorporated on June 14, 2010 by Samsung Elec-tronics, Sony Pictures Entertainment, LG Electronics and Valens, was developed to promote the HDBaseT standard originally created by Val-ens.[3] The HDBaseT 1.0 specification was also finalized in June 2010.[4] External accessories, such as dongles, were on the market in 2010 for devices not yet embedded with HDBaseT.[5] Products were demon-strated at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show.[6] In mid-2013, the HDBaseT Alliance issued Spec 2.0, an update to the original specifica-tion, which enriches the HDBaseT offering to the pro-AV market, and enables a multimedia home connectivity solution. Spec 2.0 specifies the HDBaseT network protocol, defining the required adaptations across all layers of the Generic OSI model, to provide the optimized services for time sensitive applications, such as high throughput video and audio. Spec 2.0 maintains all the features of Spec 1.0, but also adds network-ing, switching, and control-point capabilities such as flexible and fully utilized mesh topology, distributed routing, and end-to-end error han-dling, enabling multipoint-to-multipoint connectivity and multistreaming.
Spec 2.0 also embeds USB 2.0, enabling touch-screen function-ality and keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) for no-latency trans-mission of ultra-high-definition audio and video. It also speci-fies either category cable or fiber as the transmission medium.
The IEEE has announced that HDBas-eT has been accepted as the IEEE 1911 standard.
HDBaseT is transmitted over category 6a cables or above up to 100 m (328 ft) long, with 8P8C modular connectors of the type com-monly used for Ethernet local area network connections.[7][8]
HDBaseT transmits uncompressed ultra-high-definition vid-eo (up to 4K), audio, power over HDBaseT (PoH - up to 100W), Ethernet, USB, and a series of controls such as RS and IR.
HDBaseT is complementary to standards such as HDMI, and it is an alternative to radio frequency, coaxial cable, compos-ite video, S-Video, SCART, component video, D-Terminal, or VGA.
Sadhguru looks at how whether it is an-ger, joy or love, if we can keep it steady and on, it can be a means to realization.
Q: When I am truly joyful and clear, there is an exuberance inside; it is like I am melting. But people around me are pulling me down, even though I try not to let them. And if I keep to myself, I feel lonely. What should I do?
Sadhguru: The more lonely and depressed you feel, the more the need for company. The more joyful and exuberant you become, the less you will need company. So if you feel lonely when you are alone, that means you are obviously in bad company! If you were with a good person, why would you feel lone-ly? You would feel great. People’s idea of exu-berance is “Let’s talk, let’s dance, let’s listen to music, let’s do this, let’s do that!” But you can just sit quietly and be absolutely exuberant.
If your exuberance is manufactured, then you need company. If you are exuberant by your own nature, if life has become exuber-ant, activity is just a consequence. If your life is not exuberant, and you are trying to crank it up with activity, then activity is the means.
This is the big difference. Either you dance and arrive at a certain state of exuberance, or because you are exuberant and you cannot contain it, you dance. These are two differ-ent things. Either because you are happy you burst out into laughter, or someone told you, “Every day in the morning if you laugh and laugh, one day you will become happy.” These are two different ways. Look at everything around you; tell me, which way does life work?
Is it because there are flowers that the plant and root came up like a support to the flow-er? No. Because the exuberance in the stem could not be contained, it flowered. This is the way life should happen. If you try to live the other way, it is going to be a very hard life.
Constantly putting yourself out into the world like you are joyful, when you are actually not, is the hardest life in the world. When you are not happy, to show everyone that you are happy, it costs a phenomenal amount of life. Have you noticed this? There are some people who, when they are happy, they are happy; when they are not happy, they are not happy. They just show it to everyone, the whole world knows their act of life. Some people manage to pretend all the time, but it takes a phenomenal amount of energy to keep it up like that. People end up with lumps and tumors in their body constantly trying to put on an act. If you make your mind in a certain way, you will do that to yourself.
The only saving grace for people is they never do anything steadily. Their joy is off and on, their misery is off and on. It is never fully on. If you become utterly miserable, you will see the consequence of it. If you become utterly joy-ful, you will see the consequence of it. If you become utterly angry, you will see the conse-quence of it. You do not see the consequence of anything because you are always off and on.
People ask me, “Sadhguru, what kind of at-titude and emotion should I have?” I say, “Any damn thing is okay.” If you want to be angry, be angry for 24 hours, non-stop; you will get enlightened. If you like love, be loving 24 hours. You will get enlight-ened. Just keep it on, and you will come to a certain realization. That is all it takes.
Everything – every cell, every atom – in the existence can be a doorway to the beyond if you go steadily at it. The problem is, people keep shifting. This is happening in the world today like never before. People think it is a virtue that their attention spans are very short. If you keep shifting, nothing happens. Go wherever you want to go, but steadily.
