Don’t Overdo Criticism
Sadhguru: When reason is immature it finds expression in the form of denying. Criticism and denial always tend to look more intelligent than acceptance and creating something. Always, the opposition sounds more intelligent because they only criticize, they are not doing anything. Those who are creating do not look intelligent because when you are creating something, you will make many mistakes – some things go right, some things go wrong. But one who just criticizes suddenly sounds so intelligent. This is how many people in the world – especially in the media – are going on unfortunately. Very few of them are really creating anything. Most of them just criticize everything. They get into this mode of trying to be one up on everyone else.
Criticism is a way of knocking someone or something down.
To question is fine. If you criticize someone, you must have the intention of correcting them. But to blatantly criticize and throw darts at everything is not the way forward. This has become a serious problem everywhere in the world. Criticism always sounds more intelligent. Demolishing something always seems more powerful than constructing something. If I nurture something and make it grow, there is nothing dramatic about it. But if I come and knock something down in front of ten people, that is quite dramatic. That is why knocking down is always dramatized in movies. Without knocking somebody down, there is no movie! There is something dramatic and impactful about it.

Criticism is a way of knocking someone or something down. When you take a negative stand, it somehow seems to appear more intelligent than the positive stand. That is immature reasoning because it takes a lot of intelligence to keep your own opinions aside and just create what needs to be created. When your reasoning is immature, you can deny everything. When your reasoning matures, you learn to accept everything because you understand the process of life. You are not just going by logic. You are going by the reasoning of life. You have more life sense in you, not just logical sense.

11 个月Awesome pointers. The trio dimensional being that humans are created in the CREATOR's likeness & image is definitely a good starting point. The soulical man, the natural man & the spiritual man combined is how every one is created beautifully as. There is a fine dividing line and tje rishis cut away from the planet earth dimension, whereby they engage their spirit man to influence the soulical being. This is when the natural man is disengaged and given few options. Now what about humans who love to exist on planet earth realm, yet stay immune to the natural man's splurges. Natural man can never be free of FALL that has affected human beings from time definable, this period when the Adamic race was created. Yes there was a non-Adamic race who lived viz a viz time immemorial. They are superior creatures who splendidly engage as with LIGHT & as with darkness. The Creator parks them (the LIGHTED beings and darkened beings) in DWELLINGS HE so smartly has and will always be in control. And between such engagements, is the humans given a choice of accessing a spirit realm, coexisting on planet earth dimension to stay connected to an UNENDING SUPPLY of a SUBSTANCE, that nurtures the spiritual being. Accessing this dimension is the key.
