Question

A significant population in our world identifies as religious, and they do so for a number of reasons, but on the other hand, we have some people whose values are so deeply entrenched in religion, that religion ends up becoming the first priority and humanity ends up becoming the second, and we see examples of this. For example when people oppose inter religion marriages, or religious riots or in extreme cases terrorism. So why not live in a world without religion? Why not teach our children and the future generations, values and principles, without introducing religion?

Sadhguru, my question to you is - it feels like at every point of human history, for society there is always been this one challenge or one reckoning. In my opinion, right now, humanity's or society's issue is climate change or nuclear war. So, it feels like solving this has been society’s or the general consciousnesses main purpose. My question is, suppose humanity makes it past this very tumultuous phase we’re in right now, what would we do if we reach an ideal society where everyone is peaceful and together? What would our endgame be? What would we strive towards ?

Question

Sadhguru, I have a personal question. So, I consider myself very against littering. So, what I do is I take all my trash and I put it in my bag. At the end of the day, I go to the trash can and I dump it there. And, it hurts me when I see someone else littering. In this case, I’m taking a selfless effort to make the world a better place. And that effort is made worthless because of one selfish person. Or on a more personal note, I’ve always placed my friends and their needs in front of my own. And this leads to people trying to take advantage of me or trying to take me for granted. So my question is this, in this world, the way the world is going right now, is it better to be selfish or is it better to be selfless?

Question

So Sadhguru, speaking of Chennai and change. All of us here are undergoing one of the biggest changes in our lives. Because up until now, we haven’t really faced the shortage of a basic necessity, that is like, water, or food, or shelter. But now Chennai is facing one of the biggest water crises, I think in history. Where they predict in 10 years the city’s going to be dry and there won’t be any water left. The water crisis is something that you’ve been tackling with Cauvery Calling. So, as the youth of this generation, and as engineers in particular, how can we fix this problem immediately so that we don’t have to wait 10 years for the city to dry up? What can we do to solve it?

The first question [from social media] is from Vikram from Delhi. Vikram says, well, this is about the Cauvery Calling - Shouldn’t this be the government’s job? Why should I pay 42 rupees when I already pay taxes? I don’t even live near Chennai.

Namaskaram Sadhguru ji. My name is Karthik. I am from Hyderabad. So I had finished my inner engineering program three years back, through Isha. So I felt really blissful, I’ll be very honest. So I just wanted to ask you this question that many decades back, when you were pursuing the path, the philosophical path to find the solution, were you not even a little scared that you might have gone wrong?

Question

Vannakam Sadhguru. You said in one of your speeches that Shiva has entered your life and enslaved you. Why did it happen to you? Why not others? The consciousness of the truth that you have, that is because of the seeking that you did. But this thing, why did it happen?

Question

Hi, I am Sadhana. So, I am interested in, and I learn Carnatic music in my pastime. Around the same time last year, 2018, there was a controversy that broke out about four Carnatic musicians, famous ones, who sang Kriti's, which were not related to Hinduism, on Jesus Christ. The common folk believe that Carnatic music is sacred of Hindu origin and should remain so. My question is twofold. First if Carnatic music is a Hindu art, should it remain so? And second, considering the fact that India, as such, as a country is an amalgamation of multiple, diverse cultures. In fact, you kept mentioning culture when you answered the first question on religion. Considering the fact that India is an amalgamation of cultures, which are invariably related to our fates or religion, where do we draw the line between religion, culture, and art?

Question

Vannakam Sadhguru. I am Katiyayini. My question today is, in the world that we live in today, there exists a multitude of paths to traverse, both, spiritually and religiously. For instance, in Hinduism, there is both, Veda and Vedanta. I can make a conscious choice as to what I would like to take up. But I’m confused. As a millennial I’m really doubting if a ritualistic approach is relevant today. So do you believe that rituals still hold and are relevant today?
