Transcript: http://isha.sadhguru.org/blog/video/h...
Questioner: Good evening, sir. I happened to listen to a lecture of yours that talked about joy and happiness. You talked that joy depends on oneself, whereas happiness depends on others. I tried a little while to practice it but what I found was that I was not able to sustain those small moments of joy. I could experience joy when I was completely into it, very passionate about what to do, but somehow when an external person or say, some external entity recognizes what I do, the joy is just out of my life. So how do you sustain those moments of joy and not succumb to these pleasures of happiness? If you could… it would be nice if you can share the difference between joy and happiness to this crowd too.
Sadhguru: See, right now if I tell you... or if you're… not me, let’s say your Dean tells you, from tomorrow, all of you, what kind of clothes you should wear, immediately there’ll be protests in the college. If your Dean goes further and says, ‘Everybody must eat only four idlis in the morning.’ If your Dean tells you, ‘Everybody should get up at five o’clock in the morning.’ Let’s say he put ten different rules like this, physical things to do, you will think he's trying to convert you into slaves and you will shout and scream for your freedom, isn't it? But look at yourself and see. Right now somebody else, if they determine what should happen around you, you feel like a slave, but right now somebody else is determining what should happen within you. Is this not slavery? Somebody can decide whether you're happy or unhappy, is this not slavery? Somebody can decide whether you will be a pleasant human being or an unpleasant human being, is this not slavery
What happens within you, somebody else determines – this is the worst form of slavery, isn't it? Isn't it so? It is just that because everybody is like that it seems to be normal; it is not. It is not normal. Just because everybody is like that, it does not become normal. This human being, life around you will not happen… will never happen hundred percent the way you want it, and it should not happen; because if everything happens the way you want it, where do I go? I'm very happy it's not happening your way. And now that you're a student? You're still a student? I believe about sixty, seventy percent is happening your way. When you get married, the percentage will get reversed. We don’t know. We don’t know whether which way it'll go. So if… life around you will never happen hundred percent the way you want it and it should not. Unless you're living with machines, life will not happen and even those machines will freak on you, isn't it? Aren’t the machines troubling you every day for something or the other? They do. So outside will never happen hundred percent the way you want it and if your happiness or your joyfulness or let’s not use all these so many words – essentially it is pleasantness versus unpleasantness. For pleasantness we have many names, we call it peace, happiness, joy, bliss, ecstasy..

Beautiful .. His life is a school and his words are experience and wisdom
You did well for these pictures
Thanks for sharing..
While I love listening to Sadghuru and his teachings of viewing life and how to overcome hardships.
Sadghuru, if you haven't heard of him by now, you should really look him up, is a well known Guru and in my opinion one of the wisest, "woke" people on earth. There are a lot of things he mentioned, where I have had been thinking about it to myself and wasn't really sure if I'm the only one with such opinions, but it also hangs together with me being more of a "spiritual" person than others I guess.
The problem I find are, while he teaches and astonishes us (if I may include other viewers and listeners), that there always is a hard truth to his words and that it hits you like a stone to your forehead.
Truth hurts, and especially being where he is, and we want to be someday, I for my part have figured that it is the most toughest part of what a human can do. To let things go, to not take and claim something as it doesn't belong to you, and especially to get independent by not being dependent.
In theory it all seems so simple, but we humans just get too quickly attached to things, the next thing you know you are right there where you didn't want things to be.
That is why, I am yet a pupil, and I know how far I have come, but in the end, I still have a long way to go to get where i want to be.
Thank you for this post.
Sincerely,
beta
Truth doesn't hurt.
I remember watching this a few years ago and it still empowers me today as it did back then!
Yes that wonder
बाहरी परिस्थितियां चाहे जैसे भी हों, खुश और आनंदित कैसे रहा जाए,
अगर आप को ये पता चल जाये जो की किसी भी मनुष्य के लिए जानना जरुरी हैं ,
मनुष्य को कभी कोई समस्या हो ही नही सकती.
लेकिन ये जानने के लिए मनुष्य को एकाग्र मन से चिंतन की जरुरत हैं ,आज के मानव को जरा सी समाया होती हैं तो लगता हैं पहाड़ टूट गया हैं ,इतना भयभीत हो जाता हैं की अपनी समस्या को और ज्यादा कर लेता हैं .
पहले मनुष्य को अपने पर काबू करने का गुण सीखना चाहिए, इससे कितनी भी बड़ी समस्या हो इससे निपटने के लिए एक अन्दर से आवाज आएगी और आप सफल हो जायेंगे .
Bilkul sahi baat kahi hai apne.

Mahatwa ye nahi k aapk pas kitna samay hai, mahatwa ye hai k aap is samay ka karte kya hai......
Happiness is a choice and it comes from within ourselves, it is not an achievement. It all depends how you let day to day issues affect you.
thank you, your blog is such an awesome

@sadhguru-isha but i need to know that if i want to live happy without any tension in my mind or i want to fell fresh so is there any thing to do must reply,,,,
Sadhguru motivates us...thanks
What is happiness This is not seen, it can not be caught, it can not be touched. It is a matter of full expression. A happy and optimistic man, in any situation, is capable of moving forward in front of himself. In any case, positive aspect concentrates much bigger role in moving forward to success. But maintaining happiness within yourself is also a big challenge. A happy and optimistic person can be brave in any situation and be able to move ahead in front of himself. In any case, positive aspect concentrates much bigger role in moving forward to success. But holding yourself happiness is always a great challenge.
welcome and its not my pleasure but your qualitative work pulling me to post a good comment. really i have to say. very much impressive work. Thanks Sir
@sadhguru-isha Happiness is the only thing that I can see is missing nowadays. Everyone are busy in their daily works but are they happy ? I hope, not. So, great and important blog described @sadhguru-isha. Everyone have to read it.
Congratulations @sadhguru-isha!
Your post was mentioned in the Steemit Hit Parade in the following category:
@sadhguru-isha Good Presentaion You are doing good
Awesome...awesome...I read it the 3rd time and every time I read. It leaves me with a different experience.
I once saw his reply on a website :
"I only hope all predictions go wrong for you. Then it means your life is happening wonderfully."
A great answer to annoying skeptics and also a great way to navigate your life after studying astrology.
I think the only to be happy is to understand the law of karma
Sadhguru is a gift to our world. His insights into life are like nothing i've ever seen!

Beautiful words, thanks for sharing your experience
Excellent fact of real life ... When can you differentiate happiness from joy? Reality in very difficult, make a difference and even more put into practice all the advice given by Sadhguru. First, to understand that joy is for oneself, is not easy. Are things that make you ask deeper questions such as slavery, which makes reference to whether you follow a serious rules a slave? Personal advice, every day tries to tell you that you should not wait for anyone or anything to be happy just be happy to live the life that touches you smiling.

in Sadhguru speech have different type of energy.......
with hope and happiness
" life around you will never happen hundred percent the way you want it and it should not. Unless you're living with machines [...]" <--- that is some WISDOM right there and also scary because that is the path we are going down. Since it is similar fields, what do you think about Osho and his Tantra: The Supreme Understanding?
Here is my home, He is my master.
Thank You
