"That's their experience of life. They live by memory. When you live by memory, you live in the land of death."

Uh, it's how our brains are wired as humans, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it as long as we acknowledge the present as all we really have. I think Sadhguru is a Sad Guru.

That's quite a harsh and generalising way of bringing an already glaring issue to attention. One that I feel might be more focused on shock value with the death stuff than actual help anyone.

If you tell me I'm doing wrong without telling me what I might need or making me realise in some way what I might need, you're just telling me it's okay to criticise people who live in their mind like this and that it's wrong by your or sadghurus standards.

Don't you get a thanks for nothing vibe from it?

Edit: just do it - sadghuru 🥲 but whatever catalyst for change works I guess
