Don’t Polish Your Ignorance …It May Shine

by Sadhguru

Right now you are in this kind of childish behavior that if situations around you are unpleasant, you will also become unpleasant. Tell me, is there any intelligence in this? Especially if the situations around you are unpleasant, is it not all the more important that you be very pleasant within yourself? But right now you are in this childish mode that if outside situations turn unpleasant, you will make your inside also terribly unpleasant. There is no intelligence in this. Somewhere when it comes to ourselves, we refuse to employ our intelligence. I am not telling you, do not get angry. It is up to you. If it is a pleasant experience, get angry all the time; but generally whenever you get angry, you suffer more than your victim, yes? What is the point? Why would you create unpleasantness to yourself? There is enough unpleasantness in the world however or wherever you walk in the world, you will step into something unpleasant here or there. However you try to avoid it, somewhere you will step into some unpleasantness. Is it a necessity that you have to manufacture your own private unpleasantness? No. So why are you creating things that you do not want? You just do not know what you are doing with yourself; that is the only reason.
