Namaste,
In your opinion how do you garner the skill of intense engagement (with life or a task) while at the same time being calm and composed.
There is a speech where Sadhguru talks about the beauty of Soccer being in the engagement with the ball. The engagement with life. The intensity of the whole affair.
Even though people usually equate meditative states to calmness, I'm well aware that it is instead seated in intensity. Not necessarily out-of-control intensity. Intensity that is focused.
How would one do both or focus intensity in such a way that it does not hamper the level of equiposition/detachment you have.
For e.g. : If I'm driving a car, I can either be intense, hands-on body language, attentive to every little detail, and so on. However this would mean I'm not calm, relaxed, and I'm probably driving in a rigid or restless fashion.
However, if I'm too laid back, I will likely reduce my attentiveness and observation by a large amount, making me slow and careless.
Where is the balance? How to achieve focused intensity? How to be calm and attentive/intense at once?
