Anger is not the best motivation for living life .

Go for surya kriya if you want mental balance. It's very powerful way of developing mental balance. You can feel it when you do it. There's no other feeling like that. The feeling is like: "wow, this is the first time in my life that I'm actually doing something for my mental balance". Until I tried surya kriya i had no idea what "mental balance" even means. "If you learn to bend, you won't brake, that's why Yoga (laughs)" #sadhguru

Well i didn't know you like pranks I just had a vague memory that you're still of that age who goes to high school I think you mentioned it somewhere in the forum.

I know. That's why I gave this example with class But it's true on so many levels in life..

Hmmm.. i can try To perform any kind of deviaous, dishonest, low consciousness actions you need a support from others. If you're alone it will not have any impact at all. This appies not just to large scale evil but everyday situations also. Let's say you want to gossip on somebody, you immediatly need a friend who will support you. Only then it will grow. If you are the only one in the entire classroom who wants to say bad things about someone's back. It will not find expression. It needs a companion. "Crime thrives in friendship" friendship is an essential ingridient for any kind of deviaous activity to grow. It can't survive alone. Criminals are actually very petty small insecure beings inside. So for them to feel powerful they need to group up in a big groups. Otherwise they feel powerless to do anything. I can see this in everyday life. For example, a guy wants to prank a teacher and make fun but nobody supports him nobody thinks what he's doing is great then he will feel like a fool. He can't pull it off. Deviaousness dies immediatly. But if the whole class supports him. It grows and depending on how much friendhip and support he has that will be the size of his crime. If only one friend is there to laugh with him. He will be careful, he will only say things to his friend's ear they will make fun of the teacher in their own small circle. If the whole class supports him then he would feel so much more powerful. He could stand up and beat the teacher to the ground. That's why crime thrives in friendship. Worst of criminals have, most loyal and close friends otherwise they're powerless. Goodness on the other hand, doesn't need any support. It can spread and grow without any friendship. If you know what you're doing is good, you can function in the world without any support. It's complete and powerful by itself. Evil is only powerful in groups. Alone it's too petty. So the moral of the story. If you can't be alone, you're not pure hearted enough. (probably :D)

Fear comes when you're not mature enough, not ready to face the truth, when there's no balance and stability in you. Generating random emotions have nothing to do with maturity and stability. If you want to dive deep love is not what is needed, but a stable foundation on all levels. If you have prepared your system on all levels. Diving deep into truth would be a most fantastic experience, not a terrifying one. "Even if the most fantastic thing happens to you, if you're not ready for it, it will be a disaster" #Sadhguru Ego backlash is just that, you pushed yourself more then you can handle, so it backfires.

Well that goes without saying But I don't think that was the message here It was more like: "Crime and friendship is directly connected" kind of thing.

"I must have friends otherwise i can't be happy" "I can only be happy if I'm in a relationship with an opposite sex" "I CANT LIVE WITHOUT YOU" famous most romantic thing you could say to somebody. But... "I can't live without holding onto a stick". "I can't be happy unless I tie myself to a tree" isn't it a big bondage? A huge restrictrion and limitation upon you? Don't you want to be happy no matter what ? Either you're alone or with people it dosn't matter, you're complete life by itself, don't you want that? But no. People are celebrating their bondages. They call it rommance but it's actually a bondage. If you celebrate your bondages, if you think bondages are the best thing in life, you're finished. You won't go very far in life. It's okey, you feel this compulsion overriding you and you can't stay alone or you'll go crazy, it's okey. It is what it is. But don't make phylosophies that being in bondage is good, being in bondage is fantastic, being in bondage is a MUST otherwise you CAN'T be happy. Do what you have to do now, but move towards freedom slowly at your own pace, don't start celebrating your bondages

Maybe try to observe your thoughts and feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety , sensations etc. It's a good practice for mindfulness and raising consciousness also

Mindfulness meditation and monkey mind don't have anything against each other. The idea is to become more and more aware of the activity of the mind. So monkey mind happens you observe monkey mind, if game strategy happens you observe that also, whatever thought comes you observe that also. It's impossible to stop the activity of the mind. Either you'd become brain dead vegetable or an enlightened being but until then i wouldn't bother about the mind. Do you even know why you meditate what are you trying to achieve by doing nothing everyday for 1h? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=311590016192198&id=129557084395493

"Great beings and who are commited to create wellbeing for people are usually friendless" #Sadhguru Be careful not to missunderstand this in some weird way because this a little bit advanced topic here. 4.15min

I think it has more to do with being stuck in a comfort zone. "If I don't get into trouble that's good enough" i think this is your mentality right now It's a different problem then desire.

"Either everything is sacred or everything is utter nonsense. These are the two ways of seeing the world. If you're in between, if you see one thing as sacred and another as filthy, you're finished" #sadhguru https://isha.sadhguru.org/au/en/wisdom/audio/everything-is-sacred-or-everything-is-filthy

As far as understand there are two types of self-acceptence. One is you accept acknowledge who you are with all the negative qualities that you have. Or in other words, you are honest to yourself absolutely. That's one type of self-acceptence. Another type of self-acceptence is when you feel ugly, inferior, weaker etc and you try to feel okey about it. It's impossible. Once you make a judgement that you're inferior you will not be happy about it ever. You can't have an idea in your head that you're inferior and feel good about it. One way is to become superior and change your self-image into a possitive one, go to gym, wearing nice clothes etc. Another way is to stop comparing yourself to others. This is a much better way because it deals with the root cause of suffering. You have to figure out how to stop comparing yourself with others. Comparing yourself with others usually comes from a desire to be better then others. That's the only joy that most people know, to be one step ahead of somebody else. You need escape the rat race in other words. You need to realize what is truly important. Is being one step ahead of somebody is important, or having a profound experience of life is important? You need to fix your values in life about what is important. And realize that what everybody thinks of you or what you think of yourself is social nonsense, it has no existencial significence. Btw, you can also stop comparing yourself with others through absolute self-abandonment. Devotion, volunteering, Yoga is extremely effective if it's authentic, basicly all consciousness work can lead you to that place where you don't matter anymore. "Passion for others, dispassion for yourself: highest way of living" that's your answer basicly P.S. "If you win a rat race, you're still a rat" #funny quote by sadhguru

Just realize that you're just a dust on this planet and reduce your self-importence. Bow down to people you talk to. If not physically then mentally.

Interesting

Nobody said anything like that.

Enlightened being would not react blindly or unconciously to the situation. Every action enlightened being creates is a conscious karma. Not a conditioned blind reaction of craving or aversion. P.S. I'm not disagreeing with you I just found myself typing this for no reason . This is true but there's something that dosn't move, something that dosn't generate action. If you tauch that dimension, you can say he's self-realized if you dissolve all karma, all movement then it's ultimate enlightenment.

There's only one purpose on this planet to evey human being, animal, plant or tree or whatever... - to grow and to blossom.

Wellllllll..... Actually it can. It's possible to induce mystical experiences through words. Like sadhguru sayed, book Yoga sutras by Pantajali is not just empty information. The language is sturctured in such a way that when you read the book you also accuare the key to that aspect of life. But only if you're sensitive and reseptive. Even if you don't know the language, even if you just touch the book it can transform you from within. Sadhguru sayed in one of his books that his books are also like that. Idk if all of them but one book for certain is like that, that if you read it, it's not just an empty dry informacition, it's like a transmission. It becomes like a yantra. It becomes alive in you.
