I can listen to him for hours together and still pay at most attention. Never happened before ever simply subtle.

[SanctuaryHut]

When you have a problem just listen to Sadhguru speak.

[elizabethramos]

What I find so revealing and meaningful are his eyes. I see his joy; I see his need to explain to people like me. Pleasantness would help.

[iojasviverma]

Hey Sadhguru! Thanks for your lecture. I shared the video with my parents. And also understood what you want to deliver, so that I can be a better sister to my younger brother.

My mom taught me responsibility just like this.. This is amazing... My mom is gone now😔. And I as a mom have been bossy.. Thank you for teaching me this🙂.. Great wisdom😃

Another life does not belong to you. If another life has choosen to be with you--cherish that...

[MikeyJules]

I've really become such a fan of him. With my son, raising him was a give and take. Sometimes he led me, but most of the time I led him. I let him know I was the parent, but I was always going to be there for him.

this is the greatest person i have ever seen

[blahhh_who]

Me being a teenager watching this instead of my parents😁

[nextari]

Masterful, phenomenal, and hilarious. It's like he had eternity to prepare answers for each spontaneous question. And the patience and sincerity he expresses when explaining not to coddle children, but to trust them and give them responsibilities is poignant. He is literally curating the fabric of culture and of humanity. Well done!

[asankam]

Wow, never thought about teenagers this way. Thank you so much. I know why i had issues with my parents and will defeneatly will pass it along to my kids the proper way. Thanks Sadhguru.

[winnienailantei]

The problem is they don't listen.... At all

[renusharma]

sadhguru you explain it in so easy manner.. great

[kaarthikavi]

as a teenager, i needed sadhguru's advice when I'm in a hard condition of taking my own decision that is because I'm not able to share everything with my mom... The very important thing happening to all the family is parents scare that their child will get into a trouble if they think on their own just because their younger than them. As sadhguru said " listen to their ideas as well and let them experience WHAT IS LIFE". I'm not gonna said im a perfect teenage girl, its just i also make mistake when i experience LIFE for the first time...which is very normal in everyone's life, even our PARENTS life. Parents healing their child's freedom and brilliance by saying "im care for you and im worried about you" and making them live in a small world and not letting them live the ACTUAL life. Teen age is the time when a person realize he have a life and he have to move on themselves.... If you are a child's dad or mom, let your children understand you and please listen to their conditions and decisions. thank you so much Sadhguru for making me have a happy tears and make my mind peace :>

Jai Sadbguru Ji . I really liked your speech.Your Sense of Humor is so good and I could listen to you all time of my day .

[marianamunoz]

So.... how do I make my 16year old son be responsible for his grades? & his room? How can I help him see it’s important? He’s not giving it his all & his scraping by!!
Help!!!

[rahulmahbubani]

I have seen so many of Sadhguru's video but this one is special. The way he is assertive and yet so subtle with so much wisdom.

[ritaraymond]
