Sadhguru undergoes emergency brain surgery after ‘life-threatening bleeding’

[ZenAlex]

He was in such incredible pain that none of his techniques would suffice and he needed the help of science and technology.

He was in such incredible pain that even he couldn't bear it.

This should enlighten everyone as to why it is compassionate to allow assisted suicide at times because there's only so much anyone can bear, regardless of there level of mental discipline.

I'm glad I stopped listening him. I don't envy his followers.

Why did you stop? Just curious. I never followed gurus but sometimes their advice was helpful.

Sadhguru's followers never really annoyed me as much as Teal Swan followers.

The end-goal isn't a materialistic outcome though. It isn't making more of a difference to promote an intellect-oriented focus on Through classical Hatha yoga or any of the yoga that Isha teaches you'd experience something similar, your sleep quota going down is related to how at ease your body is and its connection to the larger body,

 

I can verify this. Nowadays I sleep about 5-5.30 hours, I´m doing about 1h 30 of the teachings, Is been almost 2 years of daily work to get to this level though.

Having said that, I was quite disappointed yesterday when I heard the news, precisely because the doctor said he took painkillers and sedatives, when his whole selling argument for inner engineering is 'Be your own chemical factory'.

By the way, I commented this in my isha whastapp group and everybody stepped on to me. Such a cult-like behaviour again. I thought this people were more conscious than average but no, sheeps as in any other organisation. God damn it what is wrong with humanity 🤓

Never idolise a guru/spiritual teacher. The role attracts narcissists.

I notice that they find subtle ways to make people reliant on them and mess them up so they can "repair" them and say they are responsible.

It wouldn't surprise me if this guy was just another narc cult leader, the most obvious one I ever saw is Teal Swan.

If you can quote me something that you've seen or heard Sadhguru said that he was suffering, I'll retract my statements.

@Princess Arabia If you read the article linked to this post, you would know that Sadhguru was suffering from severe headaches for several days. He then checked himself into a hospital, where massive bleeding in his brain was detected.

That's the trap that we all fall into, and then you start to confuse the guru's promoted spirituality with your lifestyle.

Because he, like others, sells lifestyle but calls it truth, and that can become very delusional, which religions already do.

The solution is so simple. It's making yourself independent of any guru or spiritual teaching or community.

No amount of spiritual practice will make you free from your genetics and chemistry.

You can find lots of his videos that he states you should be in charge of your chemicals and basically whatever you want to experience with your body, he always says all these practices are to free you or distance you from your genetics and elevate your consciousness, 

This was shocking for me too to hear that something like this happened to him and more shocking that he took painkillers and sedatives, 

Plus you can find much more radical claims about his capabilities in his exclusive vids, 

There's something wrong or Sadhguru is not truly what he portrait himself to be, I dont know.

BTW there's no doubt that there are some true genuine super conscious yogis out there, they have been around for thousands of years but most likely you won't find them in youtube or Instagram but in mountains, meditating 24/7.

Working yourself to death is not setting a good example. He has become what he was preaching against, but in a spiritual way. So I guess we are cool. 

Also I don't get why they posted the video of him on the hospital bed. That's setting yourself up for being a meme. They should have seen this coming.

He was working overtime for some hindu rituals despite doctors warning him not to. He should have seen better and could have avoided all this. 

With that said, I don't like people are criticising him not in good faith, but to get back at him in some way or another. This is nothing to get at him so badly. There is no reason to set him upto superhuman standards. He is human afterall. Being hospitalised is fine. Just don't make a huge deal out of it.

However, Sadhguru refused to cancel his commitments including his session at India Today Conclave which he attended under the effect of powerful painkillers and sedation.

I do think he was under severe pain to say the least. His brain was bleeding inside his skull and then they drilled his skull open and made surgery. I'm sure he is under pain and most surely also suffering from it.

Pain vs suffering are two different things. "Most surely suffering" is your thought.

Well that is depressing. Don´t you think If you elevate your consciousness radically you can conscious create inner chemistry?

@Leo Gura For example, I remember some years ago in an LSD trip I became so conscious I was infinite reality that just to see what I was capable of I started snapping my fingers and with each I snap I consciously created inner feelings, from stimulation, to peacefulness, to stillness, it was pretty crazy. That was pure Consciousness, pure Power. 

If one gets to such a level of realization why not? Obviously is debatable Sadhguru has gotten there, seeing the latest news, I´ll give you that.

Yeap, the more I know about him the more incongruent things I catch about him. Probably the more you are engaged in the world the less the things he sells are possible to accomplish.

Yeah, that´s the point, as a striving or goal what sadhguru offers is beautiful. But has himself even accomplish it? Doesn´t look like. He´s too engaged in world activities as Leo said.

This shows the fantasies you guys have about this work.

There should be nothing shocking about this.

@Leo Gura So you think he is full of BS?

I said all that based on studying his materials and videos, not my personal believes.

We're speaking about suffering here not pain. They are two different things.

No.

You have invented various kinds of spiritual fantasies by misinterpreting things he said and making all sorts of assumptions.

And then some fraction of what he says is Hindu BS.

Spiritual essence lives in and through the elemental - elements that perish and are subject to the laws of entropy. 

You can orient the software of your biology towards bliss or despair but you can't reprogram/alter the hardware of it.

Biology is the iron track life runs on - whilst you can switch lanes, God or evolution hasn't yet decided to lay down new tracks - and neither can you.
