Love Sadhguru’s way with words! Gentle yet inspiring

I always get so much out of Sudguru’s wisdom, thank you!

Always lays out the facts in a stimulating and thought provoking manner.

Excellent advice

I always feel a bit wiser after listening to you speak. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom

So inspiring and real. Such simple concepts to guide me. Love “do what ever you want in life, but focus on something ”.

Can I give 10 stars? This was a gut-wrenching wake up call. I’m in tears of truth. Wow. A mere Thank You is not enough gratitude for your “timely” words

A special message that can help explain how the experience of trauma, hardship, and/or negativity lives in the mind of the past but the body and mind of the present. A beautiful reminder of our capacity to influence our own story if we remember that we can.

Sensible and sane! I love it! www.gratefulness.org, ahimsa

Very motivating! Grateful to have it to start my day😊

Like the man who asked the question, I too feel I have lost my spark, &, my only motivation to keep going has become: to avoid causing more pain to those I love. The answer given to the questioner in this talk, “to find, & do, something worthwhile”, is a good answer & definitely a solution to this lack of motivation (or, as I have put it many times: the complete loss of a conscious WILL to live). My difficulty with that answer, the reason I find it frustrating, & why it has yet to work for me, despite already knowing it, is that I do not know HOW to find that worthwhile something to do. Something that is possible for me to do, something I am capable of, & something that- even though it is of beneficial- truly ignites that flame within me.
The more difficult question to answer, in my experience, is: ‘without motivation, how do I even begin, let alone continue, to search for that worthwhile thing to put my energy towards?’ How does one find something they need, when they are lacking, & in need of the exact thing necessary for them to search for it?
(& yes, my own brain has obviously become my enemy, too.)
Thank you to both the audience member who had the courage to ask that question; & a great thank you for the sincere- albeit personally frustrating- answer to it, & the helpful wisdom in his many other talks.

Inspiring reminders, thank you 🙏🏻

What can be said about this guru? He speaks truth from the heart. Just what I needed to start My Monday. 🙏❤️

This has me really reflecting ... thank you

Practical and heartwarming

Essential wisdom!

Excellent......truth......awakening

Simple reminder and a great lesson to refocus and start a day. Thank you

Having a purpose and a sense of duty is vital to keeping the spark; that is what I heard.
