This is an artistic creation made of metal that hung on the wall in our Isha cottage in the Velliangiri campus of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.
The Sadhguru has spoken of a reptilian brain located inside the human skull base. This brain deals with our instinct of survival and attack. A fundamental animal instinct of aggression.
I think this structure eminently depicts the action of the reptile in us. It snakes and crosses method and structure, all modern concepts of civic society. The reptile takes short cuts and breaks traffic laws. It bribes to get things done. It cheats and sacrifices trust. It thinks of here and now and profit first.
How many people would vote for India's national creature to be the crocodile! More than the elusive tiger, the fancy flier peacock, the reptile stands for the Indian of today. At least about half of all Indians, who have managed to fight and acquire and protect their wealth.
What do you say?
