Think and grow rich is not even a comprehensive book to teach you about life philosophy. Even Napoleon Hill himself has many other books that talks about life.
There's just so many things to read about life. You can also read psychological, marketing and sales books. You can also do meditation.

There are two types of pain: physical pain and mental pain.
For physical, we can only do something to reduce or prolong our existence. But we will all die eventually.
For mental, the pain is created in the mind. We can choose to focus on some other things. Mental suffering is not compulsory.

Sadhguru likes to exaggerate stuff sometimes. Like for example he will say 'Nobody believes in heaven now'
Oh really? Zero person?
And sometimes he says factually wrong stuff.
"70% are depending on pharamaceutical drugs while the other 30% turn to the streets for drugs" meant as a joke but factually wrong.

China is too busy building infrastructure.
No time for warfare. And not stupid like the Russians.
Personally I don't think China will attack. The people there are concerned mostly with money making. The Chinese don't hate the Taiwanese and vice versa.

@Ramanujan The easy way out is to find an easy job and sustain yourself. The higher difficulty is to find a quality job or to start your own business.

Everything has opportunity costs. By indulging in porn or paid sex, you are losing the chance to have quality time with your spouse and building a family. Also, you can spend the time working on your business, health or spirituality etc.

You simply need to be assertive with others and yourself.
So if you find yourself beating yourself up, you need to asserting that your other self to shut up or embrace self whatever the shadow.

4 hours ago, Nilsi said:Let's use a concrete example to make this more tangible. Imagine you are seeing a girl and you really like her. You are happy, perhaps even in love, and your life is going well in other areas as well. Now one day, she comes to you and tells you she is running off to the other side of the world to pursue spirituality and suggests you should join her, assuring that money and other practical matters will be taken care of. You like her a lot, and the idea is somewhat appealing, but you also have goals and plans that require you to maintain your current living situation. THIS IS CONFLICT.
Now, what do you do? Do you double down on your current life trajectory, or on her; or perhaps do you seek some kind of compromise where you can have "the best of both worlds"?
This is perhaps a bit of a dramatic example, but such conflicts arise all the time. It was on this basis that I was constructing my argument.
There will always be conflict unless you can make a decision and transcend yourself to another level.
For example, you may have a goal to earn let's say 10 million. However, a girl you like came along said she wants to travel widely or do spirituality. Or you have another goal which is to build more schools and help more people etc. Then you have to decide whether you want to do your first goal or second goal or to continue things with her or continue your own path.
Suppose you have already 4 million to date, you may made the decision that this is enough. You can enjoy the world with her. But even after making the decision, you may find yourself having inner conflicts again so you have to ask yourself again and again. Is it about caring less for self and caring more for her or others?
There's no right or wrong. It's your personal choice in the end.

To change your karma and maybe your personality, you have to break out of old habits and you should try out something new and even things you supposedly do not like to do.
-
Why would you seek the end of seeking?
Like what Razard86 said, you will still seek regardless.
That's the end of what I want to say.

But you grow older faster if you expends out too much energy.

Depends on how good you are at the skills of being mindful.
If you are poor at being mindful or being aware, you think you can get yourself to work?

Sadhguru said several times that he will die just like other people.

Everyone wants to be identified with something. They need a sense of belonging and a place where they can have control and where they can exercise some leadership. So it's not surprising religious leaders becoming more and more religious.
However, one point of self actualization is to break away from identities and rise to a higher level of consciousness.

Haha at least they treat the Chinese guy as a friend.
Anyway, they are disqualified already.

The fatality rate of 52% is extremely high. This also does not mean that the remaining people who survived may be doing well. Most of them may still have other nagging injuries like headache, extreme pain, being bedridden or they may die from other illness like heart attack but it's not recorded.
I have an ex colleague who got covid, seemingly recovered but was in extreme pain that he went to commit suicide few months later by jumping off a building.
And given that bird flu has spread widely before, the potential of spreading is still pretty damn high. I would stock up on masks at the very least.

Hope this clears things up giving everyone of us clarity.

Haha when you grow more materially, you may grow less in terms of spirit.

Some sufferings are created in your own mind. You need to go through many experiences or understand about life more!
I struggle at work through the minor and major stuff. Well, sometimes you have to look at the positives, sometimes you just have to do the work.
