Sadhguru Tips: The shocking rape and killing of a 31-year-old medical student in Kolkata has shocked the country. Spiritual guru Sadhguru offers insightful insight into the underlying problems that require attention. In a recent speech, Sadhguru explains the underlying reasons of rape and exhorts society to consider alternatives to punishment.
A Deeper Understanding of Rape
Sadhguru highlights that while rape may have a sexual stimulus, it is fundamentally about power and possession. One of the blunders society has made, in his opinion, is to present women as things to be owned. Many people have this dangerous mentality embedded in their psyche, whether consciously or unconsciously. Sadhguru issues a warning, saying that imposing stricter legislation or penalties—like castration—won’t deal with the underlying issue.aa
The Cultural Influence
Drawing from ancient Indian wisdom, Sadhguru reminds us that a man cannot attain heaven without his wife, highlighting the sanctity and respect embedded in the culture. However, with the advent of modern technology, women have found more avenues to participate globally, though societal perceptions of women as mere physical beings remain entrenched.
Addressing the Real Problem
Sadhguru argues that punishment alone cannot transform society. He emphasizes that 96% of rapes happen within homes, we are nurturing a sick world. The core issue lies in the way society raises individuals, where the desire to possess and subjugate another human arises from a sense of inadequacy. This inadequacy drives people to act out in harmful ways, whether through shopping or more horrific actions like rape.
The Urgency for Transformation
It is personal transformation that Sadhguru emphasises is necessary for long-lasting change. He claims that society can only genuinely lessen such horrible deeds by developing inner discretion and moving beyond physical boundaries. Only a few extreme examples may be stopped by laws; real change begins at home and within each person.
