Why Good People Won’t Get Anywhere | Sadhguru

Are you really as good as you think? The more good you imagine you are, says Sadhguru, the more that nobody else seems ok for you, because your goodness is only in comparison with others.

[@whereisarmonat1983]

Seeing the ways of the world for what they are is not true suffering it is wakening to the true reality and for those who fear reality must always find security and comfort in blissful ignorance as if reality is non existent . The way of the world is separate from the way of mankind and mankind lacks the power to intimidate the goodness of a heart such as mine . Thinking you are not good would imply you are bad correct ? You see a flaw in all things for you have no idea what blessing it is to be aware so you fear awareness and you fear the benevolence of the good and noble people such as my self .you lack consciousnesses and you display great prejudice in your judgment .

[@recordsden7735]

how the f to know whether you're good. What if you are just afraid of doing bad things because of the punishment they lead to? Fear of being bad and to be good I think are different things. May be harsh and critical conditions will show how bad you can be and all illusions will fall apart. That's what happens with soldiers on the war. Then PTSD happens because of the psychological denial of all you've done and are capable of truly with given conditions.

@@sunithamusicsunitha5544 generally people who try to be good walks with morals, ethics and many other things but actually such people are damaging more this planet because such people always support such things which they think that these are good things to do. For example you must observe in the society that good people always support some rituals which are not really relevant in today's time and those rituals have brought suffering to many lives. If someone is unwilling to go through such rituals, good people will always say to him that no you do this, we are good people, what other people think if you don't do this, but a sensible person will think before uttering any word or before taking any action that how the same ritual is relevant in today's time or not, if it's relevant they will not interfere but of it's not really relevant than they will make the efforts and do the necessary changes and I'd required they will very easily doing Stop that ritual and replace that thing with more better and stable alternative.

Well I was told that by everyone around me the entire time growing up. No one wanted to be around me because I was too good. I didn't drink, I didn't smoke, I didn't like lying, etc.... And you are right that no one wanted to be around me.... But I was just being my natural self. I wasn't trying. I wasn't forcing myself on others. I was just being me. I had to be taught by others what ego was, and then labeled with that ego just because I wanted to live a certain way, and have spent my entire life getting back to who I was as a child, when everyone else labeled me good. The good people suffer more because they care about everything so deeply. Their suffering is no more than anyone else's in the world, which is a lot of suffering, but it is self-inflicted, uncontrollably though, by the devotion to do better in this world. So who told me I was good before I thought it? Probably about 10 to 20,000 people, along the way, adults I don't know or even remember, kids in my school that wouldn't hang around with me, etc... I was too young to even know what ego was.

Definitely thought provoking. Appreciate this for making me question my assumptions

[@sachacohen4135]

Discernment is important. I love all people but it makes me sad or takes up too much energy. So I live alone, support myself and have a small group of close friends. Everyone is on their own path. I had a friend who kept telling me what a "good and kind hearted" person she was meanwhile finding fault in all her relationships, it's true she could be a kind person and she could also be the opposite as we all can be. It's important to see that and be humbled by it. But we are harsh judges for the mistakes of others and excellent lawyers for our own. I really liked this video. ☺️

[@dellchica2373]

I get it. He means what is the point in being good for goodness itself. When you keep yourself in your insulated bubble of self righteous goodness as a feel good policy where humanity or compassion may be lacking, or that good people keep themselves "safe" from the Others or bad ones, who realy live and may have more heart and open themselves more to be authentic. And in this way, by this safety, good people get nowhere by this formula. However, He is not saying it is a bad thing. It is just a lesson in perspective.

[@57-shaiqueahmad58]

Thanks for writing this comment

[@manas142]

True and its also that stories told by sadhus act as a moral compass to chose to survive during hard times. Because , no matter how hard you try to control things, they are way out of your hands, don't mean you leave them.

[@sonnyrue6100]

Yes Thank you as well for this comment

[@zomanzombie5049]

Awesome!

[@stormhowlz]

Man that hunger analogy at the end was great! The whole video brings to mind the sensory experiment of 3 bowls of water (1 hot, 1 room temp., and 1 cold), where you hold one hand in the hot bowl, one in the cold bowl, and then after some time plunge them both into the room temp. bowl to see how each senses the room temp water differently after their exposure to the more extreme bowls; at least it's something to think about.

[@leylal7355]

Good is a choice. Not a comparison. To be good is not to be perfect of better, rather, it's an endless path of growth.

I think what he's saying can be taken in many ways. Its open ended. How I related to it might be different than yours. So I used to say all the time that I am good person, I do this I do that ..and that was probably just something to make me feel good about myself, better than others. And that was a period when I lost a lot of important people in my life. I was insecure so I said stuff like that ..and I kind of ended up alienating myself. And everything went downhill from there. But not until recently did it dawn on me that I was so not better than the others. Where did I even get that idea!? I am still working on being a better person to myself and to the people who are close to me..so...yeah hope it works out Just how I related to it""

He talked about those people who thinks they are good and from this image, they try to only do good thing. Their good behaviour come from their ego, because ego comparing itself to other people. This image ego created seperate you from people, you either thinks you are better than them, or you are different. Those who labled themselves as bad, or normal, wont go around criticized others or comparing them to others. So they are happy and easier to make friends.
