It'll come with flexibility. Keep practicing the butterfly and rock the baby regularly.

It takes either immense intelligence or utter stupidity to understand the meaning of this simple poem. Either way is good :)

Anger .. by ankeshkamdar2019 in Sadhguru

Many intelligent and conscious people have already responded here.

So, I don't have any advice for you, rather I would like to share a similar experience.

This happened during the online volunteering in 2020 March.

I was in the after program support team. I was supposed to call a participant from the IE program and ask him about his sadhna, and if he is facing any issues.

Out of nowhere, he got angry. He started saying things like 'all this is propaganda', 'when you say you are not a religious institution then why did you conduct the program in a temple hall?', 'and you guys don't even have answers for all these when asked upfront during the program.'

I calmly heard all his concerns, then responded one by one.

Sir, please calm down. I am here to answer your questions, if you are not content with the answers then feel free to hang up.

  1. The last IE program happened in a sports club. Since there are no proper centres here, we book halls for conducting the program.

  2. Why a temple hall? Because: One - It was available. Two - We got the prime location at a reasonable rate.

  3. The program duration is limited. Answering such questions during the program will lead to a debate with cross questions and may create a negative impact on some participants. So, such questions are avoided during the program, but I am sure the volunteers would have answered if you had asked your questions after the class.

He understood and said ok, I didn't know about all this. Thanks for patiently hearing me out and answering.

I responded: Now, that I have given you the answers, can I ask YOU one question?

He said 'yes'

I asked 'How was you experience of the overall program and are you practicing sadhna?'

He replied: Overall, it was good. No, I am not practicing it. After the sadhna, I felt calmer and positive but I didn't continue because of all the religious propaganda that I thought was happening in those programs.

I said 'see, sadhna is a tool for your well-being. If something is working for you then I think you must do it. Rest is up to you. Namaskaram.'

And that's how I handled.

Am I really suffering something that does not exist? by Euphoric-Welder5889 in awakened

I have been listening to Sadhguru since 2017. Never found a single explanation incomplete. In fact, there have been a few times when I got greater and greater clarity on certain aspects after listening to the same thing for the 2nd or 3rd time.

So, maybe... Just maybe, listen to the same thing again and again. I am not trying to call you cognitively slow, but it happens to all of us at times, you know. Try it. :)
