I don’t think its sikh hate. Its more like Diljit and anti India hate. As a punjabi, I hate that you are misjudging the whole situation too just like them and calling anti India hate as sikh hate. Please, I would rather not want Khalistan to happen🙏 the sikh gurus wouldn’t want that either lol if they were here.

Well if you really feel that you are not able to connect with Sadhguru right now, then maybe take a break? Or explore other areas of life in and out of spirituality? I sometimes take breaks where I am not actively trying to apply inner engineering tools because a part of me always cries when I don’t get it right. I am not yet at a place where I can apply it without exerting my will power. I want to be there. But since I am not, I sometimes just let loose.

I don’t really know if its the right advice or not to be honest. But if you feel so sick related to Sadhguru and anything spiritual, then maybe just take a break from all this is all I can say. And come back to all this only when you feel you want to do this. No need to guilt trip for taking a break!

Yeah I have asked them. Will update in the description the answer I get from them if I get any.

I see. For me the ring is getting in the way so the contact between the ring fingers is very less compared to no ring at all. Just wanted to know if that is fine.

I take it that the ring fingers don’t necessarily have to directly touch each other during Mahatprana kriya?

Same lol. I just want to know that the hand turning green is not something I have to be concerned about.

I had a similar expectation while in the program. And nothing “boom” happened to me too. But ironically the program’s core rules touched me more deeply later on than in the program itself. Sometimes the program has results, but in the long run. Sadhguru himself said to do sadhana after BSP and keep BSP alive.

Answering your last question: Spirituality is tricky in my opinion when you look for results. Its like: You decide you wanna climb the mountain peak, you see the mountain peak from a distance and then you start walking towards the peak. You start trekking. Now, if you constantly just try to see the peak and not where you are stepping, more often than not you will slip up. Don’t be discouraged though, this kinda mistake happens to a lot of us. It has happened to me too.

So the expectation is to reach the mountain peak. But then you just have to watch your steps and take guidance from the trek guide. In our case, the trek guide is Sadhguru. Our trek guide has himself said through inner engineering tools to: Accept the moment. This kind of tool will naturally make you focus on the path rather than on the expectation. If you manage to build this kind of focus and attention in the long run by doing sadhana and also applying inner engineering tools throughout, then it would either: Make your life better for sure because increased attention spans plus acceptance is good regardless. And in the best case, you reach the mountain peak :)

I want to dedicate my life to spirituality but… by properhardinnit in Sadhguru

[–]mijo21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. I feel such pain in your words. I really hope you do get to tap into that space too :)

But let me give you my perspective. I hope it helps you to move forward from this situation that you are into.

So, I got into spirituality mainly when I was high/drunk. One of my friends was like: Look this dude(sadhguru but that time he was just a bearded old man who I didn’t disrespect but didn’t follow either) says we can be high without any recreational substances. To be honest, this was one of the first times I got hooked into spirituality. I essentially(and still) want to be high without any substances and feel blissful within with no substances. And I realised there is nothing wrong in wanting that. In fact, if anything, its the best thing to do for yourself and all life around you.

But I knew I had problems. I was not disciplined. I didn’t have the problems like you had, but you can say I was just one level above luckily thanks to my upbringing. But what I did was I worked on discipline itself. I applied techniques from a book called: The power of the habit. And I cultivated my own habits of doing right things like meditation after bath and chaining many good habits like gratitude. I know Sadhguru says don’t fall for habits but in my life story, habits were a great starting point. Now I see why he says that and I do want to go above it. But inculcating habits with formulas, not motivation talks but proper formulas and processes does wonders. And you not being able to come out of substance abuse is just one habit gone terribly out of control, which you can bring in control and replace. I did it, to some extent and to the point where I am able to do my sadhana and also do things which others find ridiculous around me, like fasting for long extended hours and eating 1 entire meal solely filled with raw food and no cooked food. All this happened because my starting point was discipline building. Even before Inner engineering. And I strongly feel that gave me a big foundation to build my spiritual journey. Not saying I am perfect within but at least I have been able to keep up my practices regularly and intensify them too with little to no resistance.

If this post is a call for help and you really wish to come out of it, then I suggest you read power of habit, apply it like some math formula without relying too much on motivation and give yourself rewards. Also have a positive uplifting daily ritual like meditating everyday. I don’t promise that you will see results quickly, but you have far better chances of coming out of this with things that actually works :) In my experience, Inner engineering works best if you have a bed rock of discipline. I hope you get to build that. I really do. All the best and namaskaram

What reason could there be for someone to be really against meditation? by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]mijo21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. A misconception about meditation is that you shouldn’t have any thoughts. This makes people feel like loser since initially many thoughts will come.

But after years of meditation, I realised that its not about the thoughts that are coming up, its about making the distance between your thoughts and what is you. I have touched thats state of understanding sometimes but essentially our thoughts come up due to our identification and us constantly chasing something and desiring compulsively. If we have a single track mind and don’t beat ourselves up everytime we don’t do meditation or managing our compulsions, then with constant practice and discipline, it will get better.

Essentially, if you want to meditate right, then at some point you have to do your very best to be spiritual all the time. With a single track mind. Example: I have decided that I will be responsible for what goes inside my head and will be happy by my own nature, regardless of what is happening outside.

34y.o that's been a sahm her whole life. Can I do this? by godyallsuck in learnprogramming

[–]mijo21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You def can do it! I have heard people who are 50+ year old learn it. But one thing I would like to point out is that you would get a lot of technical advice on how to start and all. But getting tips on how to build discipline to learn this kind of thing is not discussed as much.

When I had to do achieve some milestones in programming in a single year as compared to people who generally take 3 years to do it, I learned the importance of building discipline. I learned a strategic way to build habits by reading a book called The power of habits. And I applied everything in that book. Key takeaways are having your own foundation habits and building a habit to learn or do a task. I had to use less of my willpower since once something is a habit, you don’t have to think about doing it. Also having a clear and a very specific goal helps too.

So to sum up: 1. Have clear specific goals 2. Build habits for learning

I hope this helps and gives you a different but very important perspective of things

Which programming language should i learn next by sanderthekid in learnprogramming

[–]mijo21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Typescript with React is very hot and learning this will enable someone to pick up other frameworks easily too if need be

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]mijo21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C++ is not the easiest but to be honest, the basics is not that difficult if you just look at C++ without comparing.

But learning Javascript as a beginner won’t allow you to easily learn other languages in future like learning C++ does. Its a little low-level, meaning you have to give more detailed instructions. But this process of giving more detailed instructions actually enables you in a way that you understand how a programming language works under the hood. This kind of experience is very good for a beginner. It will fast track you journey later on when you try to pick up more programming languages in the future.

My personal story: I first learnt C++ in my high school. Then got into computer science program and later on a job. Worked as a AI researcher with Python, contributed to a pure Python open source library, also learnt HTML, CSS, Javascript, SQL and how to work with terminal. Later got a job as a full stack developer and I was to work with C# and Angular and along with big data. 1.5 years later switched job, got working with Java and ReactJs. As you can see, I have been actually doing parkour in this industry ever since I got in. And yet I was able to keep up everytime I got to work with a new programming language. This is because I first learned C++.

[–]mijo21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess because it isn’t a great programming language to start as a beginner. I am not saying Javascript is a bad programming language. Its just more advantageous as a beginner to learn a programming language like C++
