Question

Sadhguru, as per the karma theory - karma is accumulated impression of past activity, either of thought, emotion, or physical action. During operations, as a professional soldier, I am expected to obey the orders of my superior authority, as also resort to actions which may result in injury or death of another human being. Which karma account will have to enter this transaction – mine, my superior military authority, further senior commanders, and the upward list could go on? Would you please throw some light on it?

The next question Sadhguru. As we grow up in the Armed Forces, sometimes the circumstances around us compel us to take autocratic decisions. Over a period of time, these become rigid habits which some of us unknowingly display in form of arrogant behavior. While professional competence and ambition is necessary to climb up the ladder, one important quality of humility continues to be ignored, as too many leaders think that they can't be humble and ambitious at the same time. Could you please highlight the importance of humility for any leader, and how do we develop this essential skill?

Question

In your book, 'Death - An Inside Story', you mentioned that there is no use abusing a body through medical interventions, when doctors have left no hope. But, what I have been taught as a leader is to constantly struggle even when defeat is inevitable, without bothering about results. So, as a military man, are the principles of Karma Yoga not conflicting with what you have said while dealing with our dear ones?

Sometimes life puts you in a situation where you can't help being a certain way, leave aside being right or wrong. The way I think and perceive is my way of doing things, but it may not be right for others. Who decides then, what is the right way? And if there is one, what is the right way?

Question

Sadhguru, today's children are very smart, aware and extremely competitive. Most of them are self-driven and are a keen to deliver in an extremely competitive world. The only issue I see, is that they are so obsessed to achieve success, that they are not able to accept failure in any situation. Failure, they say is a greater teacher than success. How do we teach our children to accept failure and learn from them?

Question

When I face an adverse situation, whether at work or in a relationship, I realize that I'm aware of what is right or should be done, but I'm not able to do it. At the same time, I am aware of what is wrong, but cannot desist from doing it. How do I overcome this constant challenge, and how do I control my emotions and thoughts?

Question

Back to karma theory, Sadhguru. With the progress in medical sciences, the life expectancy of every individual is increasing, but the pain, diseases and medical sufferings are also increasing day-by-day. Do we call this karma, that we have to suffer in the human life? Why do some small infants suffer from such dreaded diseases, or is it punishment of my past karma? Why should one stay on even after completing one's responsibilities, which usually ends when children find their jobs and settle down?

While we deal with difficult relationships, where one cannot avoid the other person, be it the boss or your wife.

What do you suggest is the way to get back to life in a positive way?
