How To Overcome Loneliness? | Sadhguru

most people cannot handle freedom they are always trying to bind themselves but only talking mouthing freedom all the time because freedom needs courage freedom needs a certain madness they can capture me they can torture me they can do so many things but they cannot invade me they all the boys must learn songs like this otherwise you can't floor the girls despite being surrounded by so many people we still lack that feeling of belonging to somebody being accepted by somebody being loved by somebody how should we deal with that discontent and loneliness on one level many questions are aimed towards how can i be free from this and that another level you are asking how can i bind myself to something or somebody you must decide what is the highest value in your life freedom or bondage please i would like to hear that word freedom but if you are free you feel lost if some if you go into the mountains and you're totally free that is nobody around nothing around you just in the empty space of the mountains you don't feel free you think you're lost so to handle freedom it needs a certain clarity and strength most people cannot handle freedom they are always trying to bind my bind themselves but only talking mouthing freedom all the time if you really set them free they will suffer immensely so this is a evolutionary issue in the sense human beings are right now like this a caged bird if you keep a bird cage for a long period of time and then one day you took off the door of the cage still the bird won't fly from inside it'll protest that it's not free but it'll not fly human condition is just that for all other creatures nature has drawn two lines within which they have to live and die and that's what they do but only for human beings there's only bottom line there's no top line and that's what they're suffering if their life was also fixed like every other creature's life they wouldn't be stressed they wouldn't be anxious they wouldn't be struggling how to handle their own intelligence and that is what you're seeking unknowingly you may seek it in the form of relationships you may seek it in the form of profession you may seek it in the form of form of nationality ethnicity community god heaven hell all you are trying to do is draw an artificial line which does not exist [Music] because freedom needs courage freedom needs a certain madness if you're very sane you cannot be free because you will go between the two lines of logic to be free it takes a lot of strength that if you first of all what needs to happen if you want to be free is do you understand that all human experience has a chemical basis to it hello [Applause] what you call as joy is one kind of chemistry misery is another kind of chemistry stress is one kind of chemistry anxiety another kind of chemistry agony one kind of chemistry ecstasy another kind of chemistry at least ecstasy you know it's another kind of chemistry i hear so your experience of life has a chemical basis to it this is the most superficial way of looking at it there are other dimensions to it but for your understanding or in other words what you call as myself right now you're a chemical soup the question is only are you a great soup or a lousy soup yes or no right now if you have a chemistry of blissfulness if you close your eyes it's fantastic if you open your eyes it's fantastic if somebody's here it's fantastic nobody's here it's very fantastic yes or no but you have a lousy chemistry if you look at them if they smile at you it's nice not fantastic if they look at you like this suddenly it's a problem if these people are happening just the way you want your chemistry is reasonably balanced if they do something that you don't like boom it goes somewhere else so essentially you have not looked at this mechanism what is the basis of this how it functions how i can make it function at its highest level right now let's say you really blissed out like me do you care who is around who is not around if they're around it's fantastic they're gone fantastic because your experience of life is no more determined by what you have and what you don't have whether it's people or things or food or this or that it is not determined by that once your way of being is not determined by anything outside of you then there is no such thing as loneliness but you will enjoy your aloneness because whether you like it or you don't like it at this young age it's a little uh difficult to understand this whether you like it or you don't like it within this body you're always alone isn't it whether you do interaction or intercourse or whatever whatever whatever still you're alone in this body yes or no hello [Applause] if you don't learn how to handle this aloneness you have not learned anything about life this is the most beautiful thing the most beautiful thing about life is nobody can get here it's just my space i said no isn't this the most beautiful thing nobody can invite me they can capture me they can torture me they can do so many things but they cannot invade me because i have a space which is just my own isn't this the most wonderful aspect of your life don't suffer that that is the most beautiful thing oh but you want to find little romantically and enjoy that what what are those songs popular songs pining for somebody without you i cannot exist most of the songs are that way now sing one song older ones older horrible singing i'm horrible just tell me the words i will sing i think say it on the microphone [Applause] [Music] [Applause] see all the boys must learn songs like this otherwise you can't floor the girls but the girls should understand the guy has a need and he's doing this it's not really true but let's enjoy the game right now because what we do is just a certain it's a certain game life is because it comes to an end but the important thing is how are you within yourself if you are here in such a way that you are only driven by your needs you will live a very meager life but if you can sit here without any need but you will do whatever is needed then you will live a magnificent life it's my wish and my blessing every one of you must have a fantastic life make it happen for yourself [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
