Getting What You’re Not Ready For Only Brings Trouble

Though tradition tells us that, should we find ourselves in the presence of a higher being, it is wise to ask for our heart’s desires without hesitation, Sadhguru cautions us that receiving a gift for which one is not evolved enough to receive will only bring trouble for both giver and receiver. If you give a ton of gold to an ant, he explains, it will not make him rich – it will crush him.

Yogi, mystic and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference. An arresting blend of profundity and pragmatism, his life and work serves as a reminder that yoga is a contemporary science, vitally relevant to our times.

Inspiring wisdom. I was just thinking about a situation in my life that I’ve been wrestling with for some time. This wisdom from Sadhguru gave me the clarity I needed. Many thanks. 🙏

This talk makes sense of something I’ve been struggling with: why areas of my life seem to be lacking, while there is a beautiful abundance in other areas. It’s helping me deepen the realization that life is giving me exactly what I need, by going through seemingly unpleasant experiences, as I’m being prepared to receive what’s needed next. It’s all a perfect process when we sit and accept it. 🙏🏼💗✨

Thank you for this!!!
I struggle with how much to give at times... this really helps put it into perspective by showing what over giving can create.
Blessed to have these wonderful words of wisdom 🙏♥️💫

Fabulous wisdom of Shiva, translated and role modeled by Sadhguru, honoring the feminine, honoring ALL of LIFE (Living Integrated, Fully Embodied, www.living-compassion.org)! In gratitude, ahimsa 🙏🏽

Wow!! Thanks for that. ❤️
