Sadhguru's parenting tip on creating balance without withdrawing from life

“In a world that's filled with stress, ambition, and constant distractions, people are looking for a way to avoid burnout,” Sadhguru explains, but he brings a welcome voice to this conversation that ends in balance and finding a way to live in a way that brings joy without being bombarded by failure and success.

” Many people believe that in order to achieve peace, they have to forgo life and shed their responsibilities, but Sadhguru disagrees and teaches that balance in life comes from participation in life itself.Balance begins from within, not from circumstancesSadhguru emphasizes repeatedly that balance can never be created by regulating the external environment. Life itself will always bring about challenges and unpredictability.

Inner balance, according to Sadhguru, can only be created by regulating responses and not the external environment. If emotions and thoughts are managed properly, then the external environment ceases to become a disturbing factor.

Being involved without being entangledOne of the most important teachings of Sadhguru is that one should learn to be involved in life without being psychologically entangled with the results. Sadhguru emphasizes that being involved in life adds passion and aliveness, but being entangled with results leads to painful and troubled experiences.

When people find happiness in results, approvals, and identities, then imbalance happens. One should be involved but not entangled.Balance does not mean reducing ambitionDespite popular opinion, Sadhguru does not urge people to reduce their ambitions if they wish to experience peace in their lives. The guru encourages people to be ambitious in a conscious way. The truth is a person can work towards achieving their goals without stress if the actions are inspired by awareness rather than compulsion.

When people act out of awareness, the result of their efforts becomes joyful activity, rather than an exhausting one.Inner discipline over external withdrawalSadhguru points out the fact that withdrawal from society is not the answer to imbalance. "True discipline is not about a location. One can live in the forest and still feel agitated, or live in the city and feel peaceful." Techniques of mindfulness, yoga, and breathing techniques will bring the body and the mind into balance.

Techniques of bringing balance within will create balance outside, and one will feel capable of handling responsibilities without feeling drained.Living life fully with awareness As per Sadhguru, balance means that one can live life to the fullest without losing oneself. Sadhana, happiness, success, and failure are some experiences that one necessarily undergoes throughout one's life. Awareness helps one to live through such experiences without becoming one with them. This conscious life does not numb emotions but increases their intensity. Hence, balance becomes the key to living life to the fullest.
