Why are youngsters taking to spirituality<br />
these days?<br />
SADHGURU: The interest in yoga is<br />
not new. Young people have always<br />
gone for it but today it gets media<br />
attention. At the same time, because of<br />
the media coverage, maybe more people<br />
are going into it.<br />
Youth is that segment of humanity<br />
which is still in the making. They are<br />
more life than anyone else. Spirituality<br />
is life, pure life. It is about awakening<br />
you. So youth will naturally be the first<br />
to go for it. Spirituality is about<br />
liberating you from your limitations.<br />
Young people value freedom more than<br />
anyone.<br />
What does freedom mean? Freedom<br />
means there is nothing compulsive in<br />
your life. One who aspires and<br />
What can<br />
spirituality give<br />
youngsters?<br />
SADHGURU:<br />
Youth means lots of<br />
energy. In terms of<br />
energy, at no other<br />
stage in life can one<br />
do what they could<br />
as a youth. But<br />
unbridled energy<br />
without stability<br />
and direction is<br />
dangerous and<br />
destructive.<br />
When one is young, how stable one<br />
is, is how well one can use the body and<br />
intelligence to make a life. Only those<br />
who are stable can use whatever quality<br />
and talent they have to the fullest<br />
extent. So, the most important thing<br />
that needs to happen to youth is they<br />
need to become meditative. Then, this<br />
energy that you call as youth could be<br />
put to better use for their own and<br />
everyone’s wellbeing.<br />
Yoga is the science of inner<br />
management. You create an inner<br />
possibility where being blissful, joyful<br />
and peaceful is of your own nature – not<br />
because of something that happens<br />
around you. Once you are like this,<br />
your life is no longer in pursuit of<br />
happiness. Your life is an expression<br />
of your happiness.<br />
