Take the responsibility of your life
A spiritual discourse on self-responsibility, awareness, and living in the present.
"If you are yogīs, you know that bhajan, constellation of the planet, trauma from childhood, your favorite football team losing—no problem. Weather changing—no problem. Because you are above all this."
"Utilize this moment now, because who knows what will be next moment. Try to do everything that you want to do now."
The teacher leads a satsang, challenging the audience to abandon excuses for weakness—blaming trauma, astrology, or external circumstances—and to take full responsibility for their lives. He emphasizes that true yoga means cultivating awareness to observe inner impulses before they manifest, thereby gaining control. The talk advocates for decisive action in the present moment, finding a balanced middle path, and the transformative role of the guru in bringing subconscious patterns to light.
