Episode notes
Trauma Comes From Your Reaction
- Trauma is not directly caused by others but by how you respond internally to events.
- Sadhguru frames trauma as an avalanche you create from a single pebble thrown by someone else.
Choose Not To Multiply Pain
- Decide not to magnify a single hurt into an all-consuming avalanche and keep the incident as one stone.
- Cultivate balance and consciousness to choose your response rather than multiply suffering internally.
The Hurter May Be The One To Pity
- Your worst self-inflicted harm often eclipses whatever others do to you.
- With inner balance, the one who hurt you becomes the one who needs pity, not you.
