“If you resist change, you resist life.” Sadhguru

“If your body, if your mind, if your emotions, if your energies are not functioning the way you want them to, then this is the worst kind of slavery, because somebody else decides what should happen within you. If somebody else decides what should happen around you, that itself you call as slavery. But if someone decides what should happen within you, is it not a more horrible way of being a slave? But please see, the whole world is in this slavery. The only consolation is everybody is like this.”

Sounds to me like gurus don't work.dunno
The saying goes " you're not the boss of Me '.dancing
It is about the fact that outside world has power on the humans inside world. It is about that humans negative emotions may be triggered by the outside events. And people accept this state with pasivity, instead of learning how to disable the triggers and keep their positive emotions in any circumstances.
That is how strong people like Mandela survived so many years in prison

They had his body, but not his mind and soul.
Cognitive therapy works better long term on most mental illnesses, so yes is the answer to that.

The difference between animals and humans is that animals live unconsciously. Humans are very proud that they are superior to animals. That they are intelligent. The top of creation. But intelligence means to act consciously. So long humas act unconsciously they do not reached the level to be named humans. They are just animals with one more quality. Their intelect which is nothing without the past memories.

Intelect use the memories in a copy-paste way and do what one have seen somewhere and sometime in the past. Seen in a book, at TV, in the family or job, Is just repeating unconsciously what onw saw and kept in one memory. So humans are conditioned by the past, ba their intelect and memories. Like the dog who knows that he have to bahve in a particular manner to get food from the master.

Intelligence is more than iusing the intelect, is about being conscious.
Swami... hence my blog about cetaceans being more intelligent than we are! They have consciousness and breathe consciously.
They are playful and live in peace and harmony with each other.
We have a lot to learn from them!
