Difference Between Devotion and Addiction

In this talk, Sadhguru responds to a seeker asking about the difference between devotion and addiction: "Addiction is usually to substances. Devotion is towards something that you hold -- you can only be devout towards something that you hold way above yourself."

Brilliant and inspiring, and with such gentle humor.

Very helpful 🙏🏼

Devotion instead of addiction. I am thankful I am in devotion instead of living with so many addictive choices i chose earlier in my life. Grateful to be alive to hear this🌷

Wise words on a difficult subject. Thanks a lot!

Very interesting and insightful comparison. 🙏🏻

I will be listening to this gentle man every night. I've been seeking these messages, the voice and topics. Love. Powerful. Thank you. 💖

Perfectly stated

I was an addict from age 11-30. I found out I had several anxiety disorders and severe depression.
I chose meditation over medication and I'm so happy I did. I've been sober 27 months and counting. I'm no longer a prisoner in my own mind. I'm free! I've never felt such peace and bliss. Love is the answer. :)

Excellent information.

Amazing talk that helps define addiction/devotion. I'm transitioning from the spiritual awakening into daily practice after struggling with addiction. This is really helpful and I have more confidence on the spiritual path 💖

Top words from the top man himself.

Always SO great! Thank you 🙏🏼🌟❤️

Enhancing versus destroying, so wise.

Devotion enhances you and addictive makes you smaller and smaller

As always, he is profound. His perspective is so fantastic!
