If I "Let Go", Will Everything Be Okay? | Sadhguru Answers

the popular teachings in the world today I don't know how popular these are in Mumbai but in the west these things have become very popular somebody's telling you'll be in the moment somebody's telling you just let go everything will be okay [Music] that means there must be somebody taking care of your life from behind then you can let go someone telling you just do one thing at a time don't see these are all regressive teachings in the sense just to explore one or two what can you let go tell them they're saying just let go God will do it well life has not really gotten you yet that's why you're talking this language you're living in a fanciful world and life really gets you then you will know you can't let go anything you have to manage you let go your business today and see what will happen or try something more dramatic you're driving today just let go a lot of people seem to have just let go and see either you're dead or somebody else is dead now these popular teachings which have unfortunately become popular as messed up Humanity in a big way I I faced a group of people recently in America where their staunch being the moment people I am asking you can you be somewhere else be somewhere else and show me please can any of you be anywhere else other than this moment I am asking can you be can you be somewhere else then here right now no then why do you need such a teaching what they're trying to tell you is don't think about tomorrow don't think about us today that will happen if you take away half your brain if I pull out half your brain you cannot think about tomorrow you cannot think about yesterday just be in the momentum this is all coming because people do not even know how to sit in one place peacefully okay [Music] so people are coming up with Solutions like this Shankar and pillai opened a pharmacy in United States and one day he had something to attend to some little chore that he has to attend to so he asked his teenage son please take care of the shop just for an hour I'll be back so boy said no problem dad so he went out in an hour's time he came back when he came back in front of the shop there was a man hugging the land Lamppost and his eyeballs were rolling wildly and he was looking totally crazy he looked at the man whether the man is wanting to go into the shop or is he going out of the shop you don't know so he looked at him and then he went inside and he asked his son who is that guy hugging the Lamppost like that is he our customer the boy said yes Dad he's our customer what did you give him oh he had you whooping cough so I gave him a box of laxatives and made him take it right here all of them so what for whooping cough you gave him laxatives why come on dad look at him does he dare to cough now there are solutions and solutions but is it really a solution that's a question so now because you can't sit in one place peacefully somebody says be in the moment don't think about the past don't think about the future tell me can you call yourself a human being if you cannot remember the past and project into the future will you be a full-fledged human being I'm asking you wanting to go back in the evolutionary scale because you don't know how to handle your own intelligence this is the biggest problem with the human being their only problem is this you may call it by thousand different names but the only problem is you do not know how to handle your own intelligence isn't it you will see if we take away half your brain you will be peaceful yes or no but I am asking is that a solution is that a solution taking away half your brain so taking away your ability to look back into the past and look out into the future if you take away this ability maybe you will be peaceful for but towards what purpose I know so many people today are going about talking being peaceful our peace of mind is the ultimate goal of your life even the so-called spiritual teachers and leaders are going about saying peace of mind is the ultimate goal you tell me from your intelligence can you enjoy your dinner tonight if you're not peaceful if not joyful at least peaceful you must be to enjoy the dinner isn't it can you enjoy driving back home if you're not peaceful can you enjoy the people around you if you're not peaceful can you enjoy the work that you do if you are not peaceful I'm asking if you are not able to be joyful or ecstatic at least you must be peaceful isn't it so I'm asking you is it a fundamental requirement of life or is it the ultimate goal of life it's the most fundamental requirement but now people are pushing it to heaven they're saying peace is the ultimate goal of life such people will only rest in peace anything that you are deprived of tends to become Heavenly product today if you say peace people say Divine peace if you say love people say Divine love if you say Bliss people say Divine love divine Bliss these are all things human beings are capable of isn't it to be peaceful to be joyful to be loving to be Blissful these are all human qualities yes or no if you're willing you can be peaceful you can be loving you can be blissful but all these things have been exported to heaven so these simple aspects have become complicated because of all these teachings I'm saying it doesn't matter where the teaching comes from whether it comes from me or somebody else just keep it aside just apply your intelligence you cannot use my intelligence okay you can use my wisdom maybe but you cannot use my intelligence you can only use your intelligence so with your intelligence experiment if it works let's keep it if it doesn't work discard it tomorrow morning no need to continue for one more day but first you must decide are you looking for Solace or are you looking for Solutions if you're looking for Solace just believe something it'll work you understand you believe that the source of life is in this light bulb and every day do this it will work what you're doing is just inexpensive psychiatry yes you're trying to manage your psychological space with something using an anchor outside it's all right I'm not saying it's wrong if if you need that you can do it but if that's not your requirement what you want is an ultimate solution for life then you need something else which will not come with these kind of popular teachings you need a powerful force to move you from one dimension of life to another so when such a need comes if such a longing comes then you must look for spirituality otherwise just just do something go climb a mountain it'll work I'm telling you you'll build your confidence yes climber mountains swim in the ocean all these things will build your confidence or believe something but towards what end what is your requirement is something you have to see do you have a longing for the ultimate or are you just trying to manage your psychological drama that's a first distinction you have to make but your psychological drama can be managed only from within you can believe that you are using outside help but actually you can only manage from within because this is a ghost that you create you can't kill it from outside so let go of all the teachings you'll be fine [Laughter] [Music]
