“Be PASSIONATE About EVERYTHING!” – Sadhguru (@SadhguruJV) – Top 10 Rules


there is no best thing to do in life

anything that you take up and if you put

your heart and soul into it it becomes a

great thing if you want to be in a

competitive situation the thing is you

have to work on your competence what

worked for one person we try to make it

work for another person and destroy the

person completely unfortunately this is

labeled as education need motivation

watch atop tenant believe nation what’s

up at seven my one word is believe and I

believe in you I believe you have an

amazing gift inside you that I want to

see explode out onto the world so let’s

get your motivation to attend and get

you believing in you grab a snack on

chewing today’s lessons from a man who

went from moving around a lot as a kid

and having a passion for motorcycles and

travel to then having a spiritual

experience then he decided to dedicate

his life to spirituality and starting

the Isha Foundation he sadguru and

here’s my take on his top ten girls a

alright let’s kick things off with rule

number one be passionate about

everything there are no right things to

do in life if you choose something and

put everything that you have into it

it’ll become a great thing is it the

right thing is it the best thing when

you say is it the right thing what

you’re asking is is it the best thing to

do in life there is no best thing to do

in life anything that you take up and if

you put your heart and soul into it it

becomes a great thing this is the best

thing No

then what is the best thing there is no

such thing don’t look at yourself as a

delhi 8 or an idiot whatever you want to

call yourself if you’re just a piece of

life hmm hello and today you’re here one

day you’ll be poop dong you are a brief

life I want you to just imagine you’ve

seen those insects which come when it

rains you know and switch fly

suppose you are that you just came alive

dong that’s what you are just compared

to the span of your life the insects

life is looking so meaningless and poop

and gone that’s what the rivers are

thinking about you poopoo cupen gone yes

or no

compared to their lifespan you are just

like that insect or less than an insect

isn’t it so I am NOT somebody who ever

debated he is this the right thing to do

in my life what was needed I jumped into

it because if you are a constipated life

you will always be thinking about what

to do what not to do what to do what not

to do what is my passion what is not my

passion why the hell are you not

hello why are you not passionate about

everything in the existence you’re only

passionate about one thing means what

idiots do things that they don’t like to

do suffer for their whole life because

they think it’s needed or they think

it’s their duty intelligent people do

what they love to do they enjoy their

life to some extent but a genius learns

to do what is needed joyfully that’s

when your genius flowers because it’s no

more about you now there’s a limitless

way of looking at life rule number two

be well managed if you try to control

the variety of situations that may pop

up in your face tomorrow morning all

that will happen is you will become a

very limited life you would step out

into the world and do whatever that

needs to be done only if you have an

assurance no matter what you walk into

you will not lose yourself you will walk

full stride otherwise you’ll only be a

half a step most human beings are half

steps because the fear of suffering if

this happens what will happen to me if

that happens what will happen to me if

you’re well managed within yourself you

know how to manage your thought you know

how to manage your emotion you know how

to manage your body your chemistry your

energy if you know how to manage all

this what does it matter if you walk

into hell I’m asking if you are well

managed if you are a heaven within you

what does it matter where you go hell

also will be an interesting place to go

but if you are ill managed then you want

to be in a nice place all the time you

will not step out into anything I am NOT

saying this is wrong

this is against nature because in nature

every life is aspiring to a B as much as

it can be

isn’t it every life is naturally

aspiring this is not a philosophy this

is not an ideology but you must do this

or that it is natural and intrinsic for

every life that you will do as much as

it can from an earthworm from a worm to

an insect to a bird to an animal to a

tree every one of them are trying to be

full-fledged life if you go against this

simply because of the fear of suffering

then all possibilities of exploring the

nature of being human the tremendous

immensity of being human

is just lost upon humanity today you

will see this everywhere when people say

I am only human they are talking about

the limitations of being human they are

not talking about the possibilities of

being human isn’t it when if we are the

most intelligent species on the planet

if we are the most capable species on

the planet should we be talking about

our possibilities or should we be

talking about our limitations whenever

anybody writes or says oh we are human

they are always referring to their

limitations never to the possibilities

of being human this is because the the

most fundamental things have not been

taught in our education systems how to

handle your thought and your emotion

your psychological drama has gone out of

control it’s a badly directed drama

believe me if we choose a well-directed

drama you would take it to the

conclusion that you want isn’t it

because it’s a badly directed drama just

about anybody can take charge of it who

is the director of your psychological

drama just about anybody isn’t it

anybody can make it into your tragedy

rule number three build your competence

competition is a good thing

if you are incompetent and you’re in

if you want to be in a competitive

situation the thing is you have to work

on your competence right now the problem

is you’re tweaking your desire you’re

not tweaking your competence this is

what has to happen that we must teach

children to tweak their competence not

their desire we are calling this

ambition we calling this goal oriented

Ness ambition means what you tweaked up

your desire you will suffer invariably

if you tweak up your competence you will

see wherever you go you are doing better

than what people expect you to so

naturally

things will go well for you competition

is not the bad thing lack of competence

is the bad thing so instead of

competence we have big desires

if you focus enough on enhancing your

competence you will see there is such

joy in breaking limitations every day

and becoming something better you don’t

care a damn how somebody else is doing

rule number four prioritize suppose

let’s say you have to cook something

that’s a you have to bake a cake or you

want to cook some rice you turn on this

Tao

turn off this tau 10 understand turn off

and of course they know won’t happen so

this is the story of majority of the

spiritual seekers there off and on and

off and on and off and on Oh does it

mean to say I must be only here there

that’s not it

the priority should not shift the

priority is set slowly everything with

the new will slowly organize itself in

that direction because the priority is

shifting this life does not know which

way to go

it is confused every two minutes if you

change the destination on the GPS for

sure it does not know where to go

isn’t it so this is what is happening

and for in most people this is why a

spiritual path seems to be order is long

impossible unattainable all these things

simply because people are shifting

priorities all the time rule number five

my personal favorite ride the wave of

life is it true that every other

creature on this planet a worm an insect

a bird and animal with a millionth of

our brain they’re conducting their life

process quite well hello

okay when I say live process we are born

they’re born just like that we grew up

they grow up we make a living they make

a living we may reproduce they reproduce

we do all this with enormous fuss they

simply do it yes or no every simple

thing we’re doing it enormous fuss they

are simply doing it different various

processes of life and death they are

doing it without fuss we are doing

everything with great fuss is this a

sign of highest level of intelligence

I’m asking we are supposed to be the

most intelligent and there is no

question that we have the most evolved

neurological process on the planet yes

we have the most evolved neurological

system that we must be able to sense and

feel and experience and perceive

understand and express things in the

highest possible way but no other

creature on the planet is struggling

like the human creature right now this

is simply because you have been given a

super supercomputer do you agree with me

that this is the most sophisticated

gadget on the planet not the iPhone the

but now the question is have you read

the user’s manual that’s all people have

not read the user’s manual for the most

complex machine on the planet and

somehow blundering through somehow

trying to use it everything is a problem

tell me one thing that human beings are

not suffering if they’re poor they

suffer their poverty you make them rich

they suffer the taxes if they’re not

educated they suffer that put them to

school lot of suffering not married they

suffer that get them married I didn’t

say anything I didn’t say a thing

okay no children some people suffer that

children daily suffering so you seem to

be suffering every aspect of life so if

you offer death will you go do I fully

know you will suffer that so tell me one

thing that we are not suffering now

people we vilasa fees life is suffering

no no life is not suffering nor is it a

joy it’s simply there it’s a phenomena

if you write it it feels fantastic if

you’re crushed by it it feels terrible

so are you riding the wave of life or

are you being crushed by it that’s all

the question is rule number six be

interested in people I say this just a

couple of weeks ago I was in

conversation with someone who is

considered some kind of an expert on

Internet affairs and social media and

all this so he’s been looking at our

material in the YouTube and various

other platforms and I said me easily I

can give you 50 times more than what is

there you know just people work on all

the thousands of hours of audio and

video that’s there in the archive 50

times more in a year’s time we can

multiplied by 50 that much material is

there he said Satguru already what is

there here you’re throwing it all over

the place it’s worth a billion dollars

I said see what will I do with the

billion dollars my interest is seven

billion people I have no interest in

billion dollars what do I do with it

my interest is people rule number seven

strive for a better life as a generation

if you create a huge amount of positives

a negative will become small if you

create huge amount of negatives they

will become big and positive will become

small this whole life is there has never

been a point any time and there never

will be where everything is perfect okay

there’s no such thing because life is a

possibility because it’s a possibility

it cannot be perfect doesn’t matter what

we do is still something more to do

always that is why it’s an endless

possibility striving does not mean I

want to be a good man I want to be a

good man she being morally good he’s

only good for the society not good for

the human being yes if you are morally

correct it’s good for people around you

because you contained but it’s not good

for this life

so this life needs a little different

kind of nurture in that context how many

people in this world are going to stop

before you and may fall dead how many

people in how many people will be set

the seed that they will be striving to

be a better life than the way they are

right now

a little higher expression of life this

is all your focus should be rule number

eight don’t pass on bad things the

Japanese people eat much less fat than

the Americans and the British because of

this people believe they have

much less incidence of cardiac arrests

less people in Japan die of heart

failures and heart attacks than they do

in UK and in United States but the

French eat a lot more fat but still they

have much less incidence of cardiac

problems compared to the British and the

Americans the Japanese people don’t

drink much wine so they have much less

cardiac problems but the Italians drink

only wine and they also have much less

cardiac problems than the English and

Americans so the deduction is it is the

thing was speaking which is the problem

so this has been a problem everywhere

that we try to transplant what is

happening in one place simply as it is

in another place not just geographically

and culturally even from individual to

individual that what worked for one

person we try to make it work for

another person and destroy the person

completely and fortunately this is

labeled as education mass producing

people though we are a mass of people on

this planet a huge number over 7 billion

people stealing you were produced

individually not mass-produced are you

right from my childhood I’ve been

noticing this that most adults want to

teach something when they see children

all those damn things which have not

worked in their life this is one wow you

have to take with me

that is from this moment onwards in your

life

you will not pass on anything that is

even if you cannot pass on the best

things to other people at least what is

not worked for you you don’t give it to

anybody will you do this does anger work

for you so don’t give it to anybody

does misery work for you this depression

work for you so if you are angry if

you’re depressed you’re miserable just

shut up okay and sit in one place and

handle it

rule number nine don’t try to be

intuitive people start developing these

things for everything when their logic

fails they will think that you know you

want to do something you don’t know how

to do it you’re not sure whether to do

it or not do it then the simple solution

they’re taking is okay this finger is

this this finger is this yes no give it

to the child if he holds this yes if he

holds this not this is not into your

laugh Allah no I will come to you I am

NOT I am going more basic the answer is

not just about you I’m just using it now

this is just that your logic has become

you know incapable its collapsed unable

to come to your logical decision so you

are succumbing to this simple way if

some child holds your hand like this or

like this yes or no anyway when there

are two options 50% of the time you

could be right yes being 50% of the time

right is not good enough isn’t it yes

isn’t it so I was you know some time ago

I was visiting a a homeopathic doctor

there in his clinic they put up an ad

some homeopathic medicine which will

work for all kinds of snakebites you’re

living in Bombay proverb probably it’s

not easy for you where I come from

snakes are everywhere on a daily basis

so I looked at this and then I asked him

how come this medicine you are

advertising that it works for all kinds

of snake bites because if you are not

already aware of this snake bites are

fundamentally

two kinds one type of venom attacks your

cardiovascular system another kind of

venom attacks your nervous system the

two completely different kind of

chemicals and it works upon your system

in a different way

generally for both you have different

types of antidotes but for everything

this particular medicine is supposed to

work how is that possible so the doctor

said see in India 90% of the Indian

snakes have non poisonous so 90% of the

time it works that’s not good enough

isn’t it if the remaining 10% which is

crucial isn’t it so

intuition don’t get into this thing

about you trying to be intuitive

never try to intuitive logic is

dependable isn’t it there are moments

when there is certain clarity which has

no logical explanation at that time it’s

okay but you’ll never try to be

intuitive if you try to be intuitive

your logical mind will become deceptive

and come to all kinds of stupid

decisions you’ll get certainly guidance

voices from the heaven you know all

kinds of voices people are hearing logic

is dependable go by it at least you

won’t make a fool of yourself and rule

number 10 the last one before a very

special bonus clip is get into nature if

you can find a place where there are no

sounds of machines and your cell phone

will not think think quietly if you can

listen to the sound of the trace the

breeze the water just the natural sounds

if you pay enough attention tremendous

things will happen to you

many times have been in the south engine

you know they’re kind of tropical

rainforest the longest I’ve been there

through the jungle for about 23 days

alone no any kind of support no

cellphone for sure those days then not

even a torchlight and fourth day I ran

out of the food that I was carrying so I

lived off the forest man Bob ate today I

lost my jacket and one half of my shirt

because I was chased by some animals in

by that whole thing I had half a shirt

and pants and I walked through ice this

is elephant country tiger country iso

tigers panthers elephants all kinds of

the wild buffalo various kinds of

animals very close quarters but

at the end of it when you look back what

is the biggest impact on you

it’s the insects it’s in the nights the

orchestra that goes on in the rainforest

it’s unbelievable and the timing every

day not 2:15 means one group will stop

and another group will start really the

sense of time every day exactly by the

second one group will start another

group will start you don’t know what

they’re talking about they’re definitely

talking something that you don’t know

for sure they’re not just making dumb

noises so if you just sit there and

listen and listen and listen and listen

Roli you start noticing there is a

pattern and an organization to this

which is far bigger than any human

symphonies that you can achieve far more

complex and far more intense I think

it’s very important for every human

being particularly if you have children

vacation need not be Disneyland I’m not

against it but one trip is enough all

vacation should be into nature if you

can take your children walk in a jungle

not in a result just live in a mountain

expose them to nature I will tell you

you will bring up your children not only

physically healthy mentally healthy far

more sensible and accepting and

wonderful kind of human beings if they

know how to because once you go into

nature whose son you are whose daughter

you are what are you in the city doesn’t

matter okay it’s very important that

everybody experiences that otherwise you

start creating your own illusions as to

who you are and you start believing it

now I’ve got a very special sadguru

bonus clip on how to stop raising the

bar of survival but before that I want

to know what did you learn from this

clip what did you learn from these video

hoes

what did you learn from Sadhguru today

that you’re going to somehow apply to

your life or to your business please

leave it down the comments below I’m

really curious to find out thank you so

much for watching I believe in you I

hope we continue to believe in yourself

and whatever you’re one where it is much

loved see you soon and enjoy the bonus

let’s say taking United States as an

example this is not going to be the

problem of only United States United

States has come first in the race okay

others will get it because they’re all

going the same way right now u.s. is a

stop example one thing is we go on

raising the bar for survival we must

define this is survival this means

you’re good enough after this it must be

exploration of what you really wish to

do but we keep on raising the bar of

survival in such a way now even after

becoming the most affluent nation a

whole lot of people are just struggling

for survival this is senseless an

affluence affluence means your survival

is done thing isn’t it but like you just

mentioned there is working three jobs to

survive this is not affluence this is

horrible poverty at least in India we

see the way we have structured the

society right now is people have a 35

year house mortgage I mean if you have a

35 year economic commitment to something

tomorrow even if God popped up here you

can’t change the direction of your life

because the bank is here what will you

do because largely you’re all from

Christian community so I am saying if

Jesus popped up tomorrow and he says

come follow me

you’re not going because we got monthly

payment you got bills to pay

insurance to pay you can’t change this

is a silly way of organizing our lives

the question the very reason why we want

to become affluent is so that depending

upon what Life offers us we can change

the direction of our life whenever we

want isn’t it

isn’t it very important this is one

thing that has to sink into the American

people being the most affluent nation

means you are not battling for survival

this is happening because you are

raising the bar of survival endlessly no

matter what you do you’re still only

fighting for survival if this one thing

we change then we can do lot of things

about health and well-being and beyond

that raise your standard Apple at the

core is core value is that that people

passion
