NakedPluto said:We are SS, of course for you it is something extremely basic and vague, but for the masses and the simple, it is spiritual and all they needed to hear.
In contrast to what is there of spirituality, by xians and Islam etc. Sadhguru stands to prepare and make interest into more appropriate spirituality, that maybe at one point will lead someone to us.
I have only positive outlook on this, I think it is perfectly fitting to the mass of the whole planet. His audience is enormous and is composed of genuine people. Of course he doesn't teach the Magnum Opus but he does appropriate notions to the simple people, tell them to do yoga, to meditate. In that meditation, those who really seek will come here.
The normal, the simple, necessitates the very step that he produces. He in this comparison you made, does not teach you how to build a car, but tries to tell you that a car can exist, something these people never seen and knew.
About Jack, aside from my opinion that this is a heartbreak or whatever produced this, the only problem I see about this vague situation, is that he does not clarify for those wondering. I think the questionable situation expressed by the majority of the people here is valid.
Your point about him bringing people to a better spiritual position than before is good.
Personally, I took a cynical stance, based on the assumption that any public figure is likely to have some corruption of some sort. Therefore, I assumed malice on his part.
Of course, I hope for the best outcome because that would be very useful to everyone. I do not know Sadghuru entirely, so hopefully, he has helped people learn some of the basics, such as void or hatha yoga.
However, if Sadghuru had a safe environment to express himself, I would have much higher standards. Because I believe JoS to be a safe place, I have high standards for what long-term members discuss. That is why I am suddenly critical when I see New Age stuff posted.
I understand completely, I am of the same breed regarding high expectations, but I learned to not project my advancement and take in account the context, as in an effort to control myself and better understand the others. It comes with a lot of effort at first, but then it makes it easier to respond, understand.
Saying this as I had extensive problems on this.
Getting to the original post, what made it even more vague is his new picture. People don't know how to take this, as a parody or as serious. That's all, how do we understand this, needs only a reply nothing more.
Feel like this gets to much attention as well. That's why I didn't reply to this, but in regards to the old man Sadhguru.
