He also emphasised that suffering will not yield any medal, and he personally does not prefer a life of stress and suffering.

“If you think that at the end of your life, somebody is going to give you a medal for your suffering, all the best. I don’t want that medal, because this is the only thing you have and that’s the most fragile thing. POOF it will go away,” said Sadhguru.

‘Things the way they are…’

In the teaser, Sadhguru also advised people to look at things the way they are and not get themselves entrapped in a mental diarrhea-like situation.

“Stop thinking, learn to look at things the way they are. Thinking means you are recycling your old data, it’s mental diarrhea happening,” said Sadhguru in the video teaser of the episode.
