Jiyoshi Baba. Pushkar. 2014
Once upon a time at the burning ghat in Pushkar I’ve met a Baba. His name was Jyoshi Baba and he was old, and little bit crippled as well. He used to be a bussinesman based in Mumbai, and before he studied philosophy at university. His life as a businessman was very stressful, he also had wife and kids but no time to see them. He travelled to many countries. But one day he decided to ‘leave it all behind’.
I was interested in him as he was so diferent then other babas at that ghat. Almost none of them spoke english, but Jyoshi was diferent and his english was almost perfect.
I was visiting ghat and Jyoshi almost everyday and we became friends, talking about purpose of life while watching dead bodies being brought for cremation on the ghat. We smoked together many chillums, and Jyoshi was convincing me not to return to the West and stay in Himalayas instead. He recommend one place for retreat, but I decided to return to Europe.
He was teaching me to not be bothered with bullshit of desire. He just had his chillum and people were bringing him food. He didnt left burning ghat for many years. He just stayed there under the tree and lived his life in renounciation.
Everything what you can discover in direct experience is psychodelic in its own way. You may thought that only some substances which are called „drugs”, have psychodelic properties. But the truth is that your state of mind is being changed in every second because its in the nature of the mind to be consantly changed through the streams of energy from the environment. So the energy itself is psychodelic, understanding this concept as influential and esential force which push the conciuosness into movement.
When you are very hungry and then you will eat a bowl of cooked rice, your state of mind will move and for sure you will notice thats instant change. Think of anything, like water, air, the ground on which you are standing…- all of this is influencing your mind and thats why Im saying that its psychodelic.
So the bigest question, the Question, is inside of what we are calling as the Mind…
The cells of our body/mind are indeed a white screen on which there are displayed colorful and full of drama films of the Universe.

This sadhu is one which I have met in Rishikesh. When I spotted him on the bank of the holy Ganga river he was looking directly at the sun and energizing his body through doing that. I stayed with him for a while, and later he went to the river to make ritual ablution for purification of karma.
On that day I also went to jump to the Ganga.
