 The Elixir of Life

Sadhguru: Today, w hen you use the w ord temple, it is

a hugely contaminated w ord. When you say, Temple,
people think, Which religion? It is human beings w ho
need temples, not Gods, isnt it? So w hat kind of temples
do human beings need? Whatever nurtures them and
takes them to their peak, that is the kind of temple they
need. The temple is not about God, it is about taking the
human animal and allow ing him the possibility of
becoming a divine possibility.

This is horribly misunderstood in the

world: in India, people are allowed to

create their own gods because it is the

only culture where people hav e
understood that God is their making.
We hav e thirty-three million gods and
goddesses. And this happened when
our population was thirty-three
million. We know the technology of
god-making.
If you convert or transform mud into food, w e call this
agriculture. If you make food into flesh and bone, you call
this digestion. If you make this flesh and bone into mud
again, w e call this cremation. These are all different
technologies. Similarly, if you can make any substance or
space into a divine reverberation, this is called
consecration. There is a w hole science of consecration. You
can energize any object. Let us say you hold a flow er, if
you are sensitive, if you hold this flow er in your hand,
see how it feels and give it to me for just ten, tw enty

seconds, I w ill hold it and give it back to you. I w ill make

it feel completely different in your hands. But after some
time, once again it w ill be just a flow er. But if you
energize certain forms created out of certain material, in a
certain w ay, they w ill become eternal forms. One
important material like this is mercury.

When we energize a substance, we

want the densest possible material that
we can find. Mercury is one of the
densest possible substances and it is in
liquid form it is the only liquid
metal. Once you energize this, it will
remain the same way for ten, fifteen
thousand years. If the right kind of
situation is maintained, it may remain
that way for a hundred thousand years.

The idea and the science and technology behind this is

that you create an energy form w hich w ill do something
that you w ant to do for a long period of time. It is because
of this that most of the lingas are mercury-based. The
mercury lingas in the Theerthakunds are solidified
mercury 99.2% pure mercury that 0.8% impurity is
because laboratories are not capable of removing it.
According to modern chemistry, you cannot solidify
mercury at room temperature; you can solidify mercury
only if you take it to -38 degrees Centigrade. But I w ill
take it in my hand and solidify and liquefy it at room
temperature. This is Indian alchemy and this is a w ay to
energize any space. We have seen how for people w ho
have taken solidified mercury forms into their homes,
their health situation, their mental situations, even their
economic situations, have changed phenomenally.

Indian systems of medicine like

Ayurv eda and Siddha Vaidya use
mercury on a daily basis. Siddha Vaidya

cannot operate without mercury.

Normally, the thing about idols w hich are consecrated
w ith mantras and chants and things like that is that if you
do not take care of it for a certain period of time, it w ill
become a receding force. This is the reason w hy if any
idol is even slightly damaged, they w ill take it and throw
it into a w ell or a river because if you are in the presence
of a form w hich is in a state of receding energy, it w ill
cause harm to you. So it is instantly taken and put in a
place w here no human beings w ill approach it. Thats the
idea. But once a form is created with solidified mercury, it
w ill never be a receding force even if nobody takes care of
it. That is the safety.
This w hole science of solidifying and energizing mercury
is called Rasa Vaidya. It is a subjective science, because if
you have to change one thing into something else, you
need some kind of addition, subtraction, change in
temperature you have to do something, otherw ise it
cannot happen. But now at room temperature, mercury is

solidified w ithout any addition. That cannot be physical,

objective science. It has to be subjective science.
Indian systems of medicine like Ayurveda and Siddha
Vaidya use mercury on a daily basis. Siddha Vaidya
cannot operate w ithout mercury. Mercury is the most
essential ingredient in Siddha Vaidya and also in some
Ayurvedic products. This practice has been on for
thousands of years. Consumption of mercury is very
much a part of yogic practice. We know w hat it does to the
system. In India, you w ill see people w earing mercury
balls around their neck. There are any number of people
w ho have come out of very serious immunological
diseases just by having a piece of solidified mercury on
their body.
Everything on this planet, if you know how to use it, it
w ill be for your w ellbeing. If you do not know how to use
it, it w ill be your poison. Today, I am alive and healthy
only because of mercury. After I finished the Dhyanalinga
consecration, my body w as in such a broken condition.

tests, they diagnosed me w ith all kinds of bizarre

diseases. They said, You are a Blue Light Emergency.
You should not get onto an airplane because you could die
anytime. But here I am, I have been flying and I am much
more healthy than most people can imagine. I put in much
more activity than a lot of people can ever do in a day.

Mercury has been my sav ing grace.

Without it, my body would not be what
it is today.
Mercury is not poison. Especially in the w estern part of
the w orld, people are terrified of mercury poisoning. The
poisoning happened only because industries used
mercury and let out mercury compounds into rivers. It is
the mercury compounds w hich poison. Mercury has
alw ays been on this planet. It has not poisoned the earth,
has it? It is part of the earth. If you misuse it, it poisons
you. Even the oxygen that you breathe can poison you. If
you take in excess oxygen, you can become comatose.

it, it w ill be your poison.
Shiva has alw ays been know n as the Neelakantha. That
means a poisoned throat. If you have a cobra hanging
around your throat, if you w ear a cobra as an ornament,
you are bound to have your throat bitten often enough to
turn blue. But there has never been another man w ith the
capabilities and the knowing that this man had. So w hat is
poison and w hat is the elixir of life simply depends on
w ho you are.

In the South, we hav e temples where

the idol is made of nine deadly poisons.
They are called nav apashanas. A
cocktail of poisons together become

a cocktail of poisons, which would

instantly kill you, but instead it
nourishes you.
People consume the water that runs off these idols and it
is very healing. But slow ly the deity w ears out. Generally
their lifespan could be anyw here betw een hundred and
fifty to tw o hundred years depending upon the size.
Slow ly they lose their shape and form because every day
as w ater falls on it, it w ears out and people are drinking it
up, taking the Divine in. Unfortunately, these deities are
not being replaced today.
Right now in the w orld, people w ho think logically are
trying to handle human w ellbeing by changing only
attitudes. That is the only solution people have in the
modern w orld, isnt it? Be calm, take care of yourself,
dont w orry, be happy all this stuff. You w ill never
achieve w ellbeing that w ay. By changing attitudes you
can manage to a certain extent, yes, but it w ill never
happen to its fullest extent because there are other

dimensions and forces w orking upon you. Without
handling those, you w ill never be free from certain
things. It does not matter how much you try to change
your attitude, you can just go bonkers in your mind
simply because there are other forces both w ithin you and
outside of you. If they are not dealt w ith, one w ill not
know a true sense of w ellbeing.
