Sadhguru

First and foremost thing is to understand where we stand in this existence.

Where we stand is we're a microscopic nothing, all right?

But to this microscopic nothing, creation has given us individual experience.

We're misunderstanding that.

Once you misunderstand that,

Your mind cannot be stopped, it will run.

I call this, I'm sorry for these words, but I generally tell people, you have a mental diarrhea.

Like people have physical diarrhea, you have mental diarrhea.

Why do you get physical diarrhea?

You have eaten something that doesn't agree with the body.

Same thing with the mind, you've consumed something which is not true, not incompatible with your existence, so you're having mental diarrhea.

First and foremost thing is this, that the things that you identified with, the misconceptions that you have about the grandeur of your existence, needs to go down.

Then your thought becomes insignificant.

Once your thought is insignificant, you can consider what is useful, what is not useful.

Once you know you can think what you want, you will naturally think things that work for your well-being and everybody's well-being.

No, you can.

You need to be leaned into because this is not something on the surface.

This is a profound aspect.

If you don't lean into it continuously, you will never touch it.

See, what ahankar means is, today I know it's being interpreted as ego.
