How Good Times Go Bad #DailyWisdom

Oct 13, 2025
Sadhguru challenges the notion that spiritual growth stems from tragedy, suggesting instead that good times can hinder inner exploration. He argues that prosperity often leads to complacency, making it harder to ask essential questions about life. Instead of becoming passive during joyful moments, Sadhguru encourages listeners to seize the opportunity for self-inquiry. Embrace the potential of every experience and remain sensible, for good times can be the perfect backdrop for personal growth.
