Questioner: Namaskaram, Sadhguru. Lately, the more I look at it, I feel I really do not know what to do or how to do it. I do not even know why I do certain things, and why I do not do certain other things. Perhaps you could say earlier I wanted to be a Yogi in the marketplace. But if you ask me now, I do not even know if that is the case. What should I do?
Sadhguru: At certain moments, everyone becomes a bit honest. But if I tell you to do a few things, by tomorrow morning, you will come up with reasons why you cannot do them.
“I really do not know,” should mature a little more and become a culture within you. It should enter every cell in your body. Then, if you come to me, I have a solution for you. Because all those who think they must become a doctor because someone told them so at the age of 5 are bloody idiots. It is a very good thing that you do not know what to do. Your family may not think so. But if you are a genuine human being, no one knows what to do.
Only when you realize that you do not know what to do with this life, do you become a real seeker. But you stopped seeking what this life is about. By the time you were 12 or 13, you knew what you wanted to do. “I want to become an astronaut. I want to become this. I want to become that.” This is just social rubbish. If you were a caveman, what would you be thinking? “I want to kill this. I want to kill that.” You do not know what to do because you do not know what you are. If you do not know the nature of your existence, how can you know what the nature of your action should be? When you become a seeker, it is because you genuinely do not know.
