"You don't have to do anything with anybody. Just within yourself."

[ironman]

After hearing this, I tried complete acceptance of my reality, my environment and i was at peace with myself for the next few hours. After close to 12 hours, my mind started spiralling again, and I am here again to remind myself of what is to be done. I think unlearning what we have assumed in life is challenging, but the rewards are surely worth it. I hope I can get better at this! Thanks to anyone reading this <3

Sadhguru is the spiritual enema the 21st century needs

[jamiewilliams]

Acceptance allows you to get on with your life and not dwell or mope over things you simply cannot change.

[DreamBlissYT]

Was instructed tonight, in regards to things stopping me from doing what I wanted to do, that, "... it is not for you to know, it is for you to accept." I was told i must accept the obstacles in my life. That is what brought me here. Thank you Sadhguru, for the clarity this video has given me.

I have been experimenting with what Sadhguru has been saying. Not just listening but truly implementing it daily. And the results are astounding!! My life completely transformed in last 6 months and deeper layers of complex thoughts and emotions are coming into my awareness. Truly bow down Sadhguru. pranams Sadhguru 🙏❤

I just had a mental breakdown last week.
I was horrified about everything and the most that I totally felt disconnected to everyone and everything.
I was afraid of dying, of losing control.
I was damn sure I had personality disorder and I was just about to go to a psychiatric clinic until just today I accepted it the way it is and wrote everything in my mobile phone that I am afraid of and boom it's like magic and feel a huge relief and pleasentness within me.
Accept everything as it is 🙏❤️

[yusufshaha]

I accept everything that I am and everything that has happened in my life! :)

[pragnashah]

Such a great wisdom explained so simply

[theotherside]

The most beautiful message for this Guru Purnima 🙏🙏

[aesonone]

in my experience - if you see even one thing within you, and succeed to accept it (unbind it from your opinion/expectation construct), and you see then that it ceases its hold on you, at least now you know the mechanism of attachment and respectively - a technique, if you will, of liberation

[valluriramadevi]

Yes, what ever god gave to you accept it. If u accept, then only you will get solution. If you woun't accept, you will be in suffering. I practically experianced it. And at any point don't go for ego. It spoils one's life completly. This also I experianced. Because of ego, unchangeable thing happened in my life. And its leading to . And one more thing always follow your inner voice. Be quite and listen your inner voice. It will give you the right path. And don't take any decisions when you are in tension, anxiety or in suffering. The decision taken at that moment is wrong. Be quite and in peaceful environment try to take decision. For knowing these three things my life has been completed at the age of 36.

Few things are more powerful than acceptance. When I think of all the time and energy I still spend trying to change things that I have absolutely no control over (other people, mostly), I am deeply saddened. Yet, I continue to not accept what I cannot change. And each thing I don't accept, I suffer over, needlessly. Why do I do this? Two reasons. Habit and fear. It is scary to let go of my illusion of control. A wise man once said "Fear Is Your Only God." And he was absolutely right. Letting fear run my life is a very, very old habit that is very, very hard to let go of. It happens without me even trying. Whenever I feel fear, rather than simply feel it, I try to control the situation I am in. So, I seek to live my life consciously. On a daily basis, I practice acceptance whenever I can. And when I fall short of this goal, I don't berate myself, I simply get back on the path. And when I am on the path, when I am accepting everything around me, I don't have any problems. But when I have no problems, a new challenge presents itself. My ego doesn't like when there is no problems. It loves problems. So it seeks problems wherever it can find them. This means I have another reason to meditate, to remain conscious, so I can make wise choices for myself and not be influenced by my ego. When I live consiously, I know that I am not my ego. When I live unconsciously, I trully believe I am my ego. If all of this sounds like a lot of work, it is! But the alternative is to live a life with so much more suffering, so much less serenity. So I will take the guru's challenge to live in acceptance for 24 hours. And I hope that something I worte here today helped someone else.
