Once you know that life is meaningless either you become a little enlightened or angry about it.

[@rachelconradie8480]

You are missing the point.I dont agree, because that would mean you are just living in a material physical sense. You are more than that.You can experience deep joy and connection in the simple act of survival.and kind compassionate interaction to your fellow humans animals and mother earth. In fact its this connection in gratitude that allows us to survive in a constant state of enlightenment and honouring and caring for all things. Not this anxiety driven mode of survival that the corporate giants are exerting on us which is all about lack and needing more. Rather live in soul spirit connection to God, knowing your purpose is to love and live in gratitude even in the simplest of tasks.Even if you are sweeping floors for a living.

[@Subha95]

its not meaningless its purposeless but you do your necessary duties to make it meaningful

[@koolashok88]

This video is the medicine for my Existential crisis. Thanks a lot, Guruji

[@cosmickate4947]

Been stressed out thinking I don't know what I want or what my purpose is and he sums it all up in such a simple way it makes me feel silly. Thank god for Sadhguru and teachers like him.

[@charleswilson8038]

Purpose of life is to REALISE the creator within u. So near but so far. Only through the grace and love can one achieve this quest.

[@qasimqamar4996]

Iam fortunate enough to have listened to this greatest genius in my lifetime; thank you Sadhguru for showing me what life is all about.

[@anshukhurana6672]

Sadguru always help me whenever I am unwell or very negative

[@vishaltarika2540]

I think there is a purpose of life that why we are here in this human form with such level of intellectual. The purpose is to end this cycle of life and end where we trap ourselves in this life. We should look for a way out of this trap to reach salvation and end miseries we are facing in this world.

[@Dil.Careem]

Why should I live? Why can't I do anything? What is the purpose of my life? Have you ever felt the same? Friends, do remember that life is a question and how we live adds an answer to it. Being the author of your life, write it an interesting enjoyable pattern.

[@mdashekerabbi8308]

ever read the Quran entirely? you will find the answers inshallah (if Allah wills)

[@wondonprincessberty9315]

Please your comment got me. Can we be friends if you don't mind

[@di8797]

It is a honor to listen to someone like yourself helping me understand my spiritual self.

[@greenvalley7892]

There r people who lives only to give happiness to their loved ones.Thats there sole purpose.They dont care about themselves.Because they find happiness just doing it.

[@workwithnature]

The purpose of life is to be...

[@user-gt1rk3wu9t]

freedom without balance is destruction and this is what has been happening with me all these years thanks for this video

[@seemaojha1287]

I have to hear again and again to understand it completely

[@balbhatt]

The quote "Beware of those who try to sell you simple answers to complex questions" is a warning against oversimplification and the dangers of reducing complex issues to simplistic solutions. It is a call for critical thinking, skepticism, and a willingness to embrace nuance and uncertainty in our understanding of the world. In today's society, we are often bombarded with quick-fix solutions to complex problems. Politicians, pundits, and self-help gurus all promise simple answers to complex problems. For example, a politician might promise to solve a country's economic woes with a three-point plan or a self-help guru might offer a ten-step process to achieving personal happiness and success. However, such solutions are rarely effective and typically only address the symptoms rather than the root causes of the problem. The reality is that complex problems cannot be reduced to a single issue or solution. They are influenced by a wide range of factors, including social, economic, and political forces, and require a multifaceted approach to address them. Reducing complex issues to simplistic solutions ignores the complexity of reality and can even create new problems in the process. Moreover, the search for simple answers can also lead us to ignore or dismiss alternative perspectives and information that challenge our worldviews. This can lead to a dangerous and damaging polarization of society, where people become entrenched in their beliefs and refuse to consider other ideas. Therefore, it is essential to approach complex questions with an open mind and a willingness to embrace nuance and complexity. This means engaging with diverse perspectives and being willing to challenge our own assumptions. It also means being comfortable with ambiguity and uncertainty and recognizing that there are often no simple answers to complex questions. In conclusion, the quote "Beware of those who try to sell you simple answers to complex questions" is a powerful reminder of the importance of critical thinking and the dangers of oversimplification. By embracing nuance and complexity, we can foster a deeper understanding of the world and find more effective solutions to the complex problems we face.

[@Quranic]

When Sadguru talks it is like raining wisdom, who is agree with me?

[@neiljolley4201]

the purpose of life, is know the Truth!

[@edgardobaldomar8825]

When we're born we looking for food not purpose, I think living with or without purpose is the same , purpose is being yourself and do what you want to do in your life , you only live once experience thing that you never experienced before , purpose is like an accomplished or mission if you want to make you happy etc. Or maybe do your best or greatest that when you died the world will cry happy and world will remember you because the great things you did

[@shivadahiya647]

"Living life totally does not mean Partying every Night" LOL

[@ainslie187]

Especially when "partying" to most people means getting drunk and high and acting a fool.

[@ashokprajapati98]

If anybody watching only one video of sadhguru it is enough to change your life pattern or thinking process of your thought.

[@johnchristodoulou4177]

this was in my mind and you expanded it. thank you.

[@sarahvasquez6494]

if you have no purpose you can just live. WOW

[@chaithanya4356]

We are blessed to have you Sadhguru

[@frankr649]

I Love listening to short stories like this and begening to listen every morning , I also like to listen to long conversations but not always have the time

[@michaeldixon3234]

Thats what i needed to hear, thx

[@biocrete]

yes, me too!!!!

[@boohoo1337]

asking about purpose of life isn't always so personal. i always wonder what is the purpose of life of a child who has been abused and starved to death from early childhood. a poor, uneducated child who will never leave some desert to know anything about the world, music, art, literature... or millions of those who came before us who lived in a sense a pathetic life and never could even ponder on these questions. worked themselves to death and never got to even know about the world and science..

[@thomasalundago6332]

You don't look for the purpose of life it will find you

[@frankenscience3553]

round and round in circles, the meaning of life is to enjoy. The goal of life is to improve one's character.

[@tiredmdntblggr]

Those who believe the purpose of life is a struggle want to destroy the whole world. My favorite part

[@aevin_io]

“If you look for a purpose you’re seeking madness, if you found one, you’re sure mad”

[@pauljamesmcintosh5766]

Very true words, if only we stood back and looked at our lives with true meaning!! May our great architect shine on you and all your loved ones. ❤️

[@raphaelcure8387]

I want to fall in some kind of satisfied state of mind. Everything should be unimportant, everything should be unspecial. I should not want a purpose. Not a special one either. It so hard for me to accept that I'm not special in anyway at all. As a kid I always felt different from others... Special. In the end... I'm just disappointed ... Sad about my egotistical thinking... That I would be better than others. My heart is broken and I feel like I will never truly accept this way of thinking. So the best I can do is suffer forever🖤

[@raphaelcure8387]

Btw M20

[@ashrayiinavarathnaram4099]

Simply and beautifully explained, you put me at peace Gurudev

[@matarapatrick6694]

This is a good piece of advice. It have enlightened to me more about is the purpose of living without expectations from any anyone

[@joyjeetpaul2218]

Purpose is .... God Realization

[@dees8546]

What a great way to sum this up. Thank you Sadhguru for your teachings and enlightenment.

[@Dounjikootsvet]

To make a difference in something or someone...or maybe for yourself. :)

[@mulustore]

The purpose of life is I’m here and also the Universe around me. The only Things I don’t know where’s the Source of everything. No one answer for you how everything started.

[@indraramwahengbam9]

Eureka! I've found it, the secret to life's purpose. "The body" is you but you are being controlled by someone else that is the "mind" or "soul" and when you die, it will have your memories but you (the body) will forget everything, you only live once so it is the "soul" or the "mind" that will have your memories and live on while you are gone for existence forever. So it is all for your "soul" or "mind" the life you live will be it's memories and it can share your life's story to other "souls" or "minds" so live your life in a way where it can be remembered and shared. 😁

[@glimpseofhappiness2448]

Watch m3gan, you will relate to what you just said.

[@Ammmericanpie]

I love this man.

[@sgtflashback5442]

This line of thinking is so different from what we were raised to believe here in the west. It is almost alien. Yet it is intriguing to try and look at it from a different kind of view.

[@davidpeckham8275]

Imagine if you were born immortal..would you appreciate it as you should? Humans were meant to be immortal on this earth, that life was taken for granted in the garden. We are alive now to experience love, joy and the sorrow of life. We learn to forgive, we learn to love, and most of all in our short time on this earth we see our loved ones get sick, grow old and die. From that we learn OUR PURPOSE that is TO APPRECIATE THE GIFT OF LIFE!! Only until we experience sickness and death can we truly appreciate everlasting life on this earth, that will soon come to be.

[@jessezaragosa1182]

Live the life as we are given we all have one life in a lifetime

[@behnamaazami4065]

If we collect all understanding of human regarding life , it is not as bigger than a tiniest star in the universe ! All the poetic words that we may say to convince ourself and others are bubbles of trapped air which has short life to make us think how knowledgeably we can manipulate our never ending curious mind !

[@sugitamade895]

Thank you sad guru..you had open my mind to become a good human being.

[@nigelgoodwin5094]

Reading Inner Engineering. Great book. Go buy it! Namaste.

[@Elsa-qy9hr]

To know this life in its entirety.

[@sanjoykumar5984]

The only useful purpose of the present birth is to turn within and realize the Self.

[@niranjantirumala3301]

God blesses you Sadhguru.

[@cesarurena7288]

Coming out of abstract to an spiritual form where your soul is home... 💓... Beautiful words and senses...

[@thefactsoflife-cf7hg]

there are signs around us but only for those who want to know and explore

[@alphinphilip7501]

Thought provoking

[@jashwanthmatthew4308]

A journey with no destination is also called a purposeless life. He that seeded shall create a path and the water flows the pathway and yeh shall bloom. - that's called life. He the alpha knoweth yeh by name and by choice, 100th billion galaxies on the other side and the Omega is on your side just to render yeh. ❤

If we could understand karma completely than we could understand everything completely

Note to sound person. Next time try attenuating 2 KHz to 2.5 KHz by 6db or more. And 1 KHz by 4db.

[@SuperVerotube]

I feel blessed that i encountered Sadguru creation and nature is everything ...learning to live with respect for nature is the most important thing ...unfortunately religion and money and power is ruining everything . Love life ...that's the perpose . Thank you for your wisdom and your god given ability to put it into words . ❤

[@srisantoshirupa]

Very well said. Thankyou sadhguruji

[@enyewanmaw849]

Thank you very much sir!

[@shajipk8676]

Balance !

[@HimanshuS-YT]

Stay grounded = stay within and up-close with body Generate balance = the necessary bodily requirements, the synergy of body energies, physical body and mind. Rise high = to slowly dismantle the psychological structures and rise above. This is what I deciphered. I may he wrong. And regrading the people trying to dismantle their psychological structures (drugs, alcohol, irresponsible yogic practices, tantric practices, occultism etc) are bound to damage themselves. Thays why he said its better to remain "grounded" and work towards finding/generating balance before any "adventure" 😅.

[@milansubedi7244]

Sadhguru always have a convincing answers to whatever question runs into my head 🤔 Feeling Blessed to have him in my lifetime 😊Namaskaram Sadhguru 🙏🙏🙏

[@Mitunjiva]

Superb words to wake up from inner sights ....Sadhuguruji awesome and clear explanations

[@balbhatt]

The purpose of life is a profound and complex question that has been pondered by humans for centuries. It is a question that has no single, definitive answer as it depends on an individual's beliefs, values, and worldview. Here are a few perspectives that address the purpose of life: 1. Religious Beliefs: Many religions believe that the purpose of life is to serve a higher power or to fulfill a divine purpose. For example, Hinduism believes that one's purpose in life is to achieve enlightenment and reunite with the divine, while Christianity believes that one's purpose is to serve God and follow his teachings. 2. Personal Fulfillment: Another perspective is that the purpose of life is to find personal fulfillment and happiness through one's passions, relationships, and experiences. This could mean fulfilling one's career goals, traveling to new places, or building strong connections with loved ones. 3. Helping Others: For some people, the purpose of life is to help others. This may involve dedicating one's life to a career in healthcare or social services, volunteering, or simply being kind to those around us. Ultimately, the purpose of life is a deeply personal and subjective question that only each individual can answer for themselves. It may involve multiple aspects such as spirituality, relationships, and personal growth.

[@pa1poni]

Truly amazing.

[@zombah69]

So what is the purpose of life What if I am paralyzed or have a lot of difficulties in life, I still didn't get the answer. How I can explore life?and what does it mean? If you went to sleep in your bed, then woke up in a moving bus, the first thing you should do, is to know why are you here? and where we are going? Specially when you see a lot if people getting of the bus everyday! Before you start exploring the bus !!!

[@ktridente101]

Im sorry but sometimes I get immensely distracted because I noticed the Guru has not one wrinkle on his face, if he were to shave it would be difficult to even know his age, and his hands are wrinkle free almost like a childs hand? Interesting

[@codyjamessingleton5098]

The state of being that you are in is powerful Sadhguru. It is the state that Gutama Sidhartha described as Bodhi. It is a state all mankind has been trying to find. It is a state that Scientology is making today and i obtained it through a few different lifetimes and with Scientology. We sure are in a mess in this universe aren't we? Haha what are we doing here!?!?! But any game is better than no game i suppose. It's real nice knowing what your talking about... In everything you say. One day we will be free from this universe. And we can build a better game.
