Good afternoon Sadhguru and Ananya Truly grateful as always for these shared conversations. After a good few years of questioning myself and others things, a lot. I have very recently and finally resigned from my current employer in my role as mental health nurse after some nineteen years. For many of the reasons you point to here. Seeing indeed. Super important to me. Truly grateful for your wisdom over these passing few life changing years. Thank you. 💜

"I think they're not on talking terms with me?" always love his sense of humor 😂 especially for someone with such deep sight and wisdom. All too often I think some of our greatest minds and teachers seem to eventually lose large aspects of their sense of humor and I am of the firm belief that it's essential to our well being to be able to laugh at life and ourselves

[@hudson2861]

Sadhguru does not lose his sense of humor because he knows. He doesn't waste his time getting caught up in conflict and doesn't care if he is convincing anyone. His happiness and fulfillment depends on no one but himself. Why not be joyous. It is our true nature.

[@loanokaharbor8303]

understanding vs. experiencing life (and experiencing life blissfully or regretfully/painfully) 1:09:00 sadhguru's explanation-contrast of thinking vs. 'mental diarrhea' is at the mental level, and analagous to the physical level of poised, calm vs. very loud, actiony actions. the former is how people who are more mature or conscious tend to be, while the latter is how children seem to usually be, immature in their bodily actions, usually running around and moving 1:20:40

Loved the insight and thought process in reducing salary of all staff rather than firing a few which could affect their livelihood

[@josef2012]

Reducing the salary of staff definitely affects their livelihood.

[@hudson2861]

What? Of course reducing anyone's salary affects them. What should have been asked is if the CEO's salary had been substantially reduced. In fact that is the first question that should be asked and the executives of any corporation should be the first to receive a reduction in earnings at least one fiscal year before any workers wages are reduced.

Ananya was curious and Sadhguru was divine ❤

[@kamdeva-m4d]

At the beginning it was said "You must be doing something that you love". Later in an answer to a guy's question, it's said "Don't do that you love, do that is needed, whatever it may be". So, I'm in perplexity. Please clear my confusion, if someone is interested.

[@dreamingacacia]

I don't know...I feels like letting myself living in misery is a good thing. It makes me more aware of the surrounding. It's allowed me to have clarity in life. I can be blissful whenever I wanted, but most of the time I'd just be cautious of everything and if that's what it means to live in misery, then so be it. It's a human's nature where we need to be cautious when we have to navigate the troubled water. If by being joyful make me lost the clarity, then I would rather not joyful. I know I'm not the ideal kind that Sadhguru want to see, but I valued clarity a lot more than happiness in life. I could make mistakes, but I must be aware of them or at least realize the mistakes before it's getting too late. I don't know...maybe I'd been through too much troubled water in life and I feels everywhere is dangerous minefield.

When you were younger, you probably did things, you didn't always like the things you did ( like going to boring teachers in school, carrying out the waste e.c. ) now you decided to do something you love like becoming an actor. With those skills you have gathered by then you will be needed to bring the needed relief, peace, joy and insight to other human beings who are not yet advanced like you. Einstein is quoted: genius is 10% inspiration and 90 % transpiration 😅 Go for it 👍♥️
