See, engagement or involvement, he's precise with his language.

Engagement or involvement doesn't have a particular valence of positive or negative.

I don't know if you all caught that.

Right?

So he says you should be involved.

People aren't involved.

Involved doesn't mean good.

It doesn't mean bad.

There's no valence of positive or negative there.

It is just being there.

In a full way, in a total way.

And that's what creates good relationships, for better or for worse, right?

In illness and in health.

Till death do us part, which is what people who are, you know, get married in North American or European Christian sort of ceremonies will say.

So and I think that's really important.

And I think we have good evidence that that that works.

And the reason we know that is because we have some of these, you know, principles from psychiatry or psychology like radical acceptance.

And if you look at some of these systems like acceptance and commitment therapy, which are rooted in some of the concepts I think Sadhguru talked about today.

If you look at these things, basically we've sort of figured out, even from a scientific evidence standpoint, that when you just accept what comes, as opposed to attach a bunch of conditions and try to make it perfect, if you accept that marriage or life will have problems, then that's totally fine.

Things get better.
