When unpleasant things happen, do you become wise or do you become wounded?

How do I live clean?

**Sadhguru** (2:05)
How do I live happy? You don't have to eliminate the waste. Waste is very valuable. Right now in this garden, they buy waste at a very exorbitant price.

So whether you turn your filth into a fertilizer or you smear it on your face and walk around, that's your choice.

You like this like a knife. If you want to dissect something, it's very good. You want to stitch your clothes.
If you stitch your clothes with the knife, what will happen? You will be in tatters, right? This is what is happening to people's lives. They are trying to fix everything with their intellect. The harder they try, the more tatters they have become.

For the people watching or listening who might be saying, you know what, I don't have financial abundance, I'm struggling financially, struggling in my health and wellness. How can they start to think differently to apply these principles?

Simply this.

From the Midwest in Ohio, I grew up hearing the word karma, saying that if you do something bad, then bad things are coming for you. And you talk about in the book that it… not necessarily that case, can you define karma for the uneducated person like myself, on what karma truly is?

**Sadhguru** (3:35)
I thought that was my title.
You're stealing that from me.
Uneducated guru is what people say and now you're saying you're uneducated interviewer. Anyway, about if you do bad things, bad things will come for you. This has been the way of the world. You don't need the word karma for that, because people have been trying to control people either with fear or guilt. This has been the basis of a whole lot of things happening in the world. If you do this, you will go to hell, if you do that, you will go to heaven, otherwise here itself it will happen to you, whatever. Or there is somebody up there with a stick waiting and they will whack you, all these kind of things. Essentially, you're trying to manage humanity, control humanity with fear or guilt. Yeah. Fear and guilt, I see particularly in the Western world is like enormous. It is in the psyche of people in such a big way. Well, karma is not about fear, karma is not about guilt, karma is about liberation. It is about freedom. Because you are a composite as you sit here, you are composite of various memories within you. Yes.
