Sadhguru has led a path of spirituality since his early adulthood and there hasn’t been anything that has stopped him from serving humanity. He is a divine force whose principles are now followed by his hundreds of thousands of disciples. Sadhguru, too, never disappoints his followers and answers their every query related to life and more. Recently, a few questions were asked to Sadhguru by his dear devotees and the yogi answered them along with a reasoning.
Is it wrong to drink?
A person asked if it is not ethical to consume alcohol. Replying to this, Sadhguru said. “Any kind of external intoxicant lowers your aliveness or awareness. You do not drink and drive because it lowers your awareness. If you become fully aware, you can exist here not just as a piece of flesh and blood, but as the master of your own destiny. That is the choice you have. For this, your awareness has to spread. Right now, your depression, unhappiness, confusions, the alcohol, everything is putting your awareness down. So, the question is not about, “Is this wrong or right?” The fundamental question is: Are you for life or against life? If all you are seeking is a little pleasure, I am not against it. But if there was a much bigger pleasure — if you could learn how to be drunk all the time and be fully alert — would you not be interested?

Are arranged marriages better than love marriages?
One person asked the Yogi the quintessential question – are arranged marriages better than alone marriages?
Sadhguru’s reply: “The question is not about how you get married. The question is about how you conduct your marriage and how wonderfully you live with someone. That will not be decided by how or where you get married. You may have been told that marriages were made in heaven because most people created a hell out of their marriage. If you are heaven, everything that you do, including your marriage, will be heaven. If you are hell, everything that you do will be hell. Rather than bothering too much about marriage, one should constantly be concerned as to how to evolve oneself into a beautiful human being, so that he or she can make every situation they are placed in beautiful. We are always focusing on little branches and not on the root of life. We are just trying to inject chemicals into the fruit and make it grow fast. That will not last too long. It may produce one fruit today, but tomorrow it will be barren. But if you nurture the root, it will bear fruits throughout its life.”
How to handle depression?
A person asked Sadhguru that as we grow older, Depression takes a toll on our health; how do we handle this? Replying ti this, the yoga guru said, “Depression means you are unable to maintain the exuberance of life in you. This is happening because you have not done anything to keep your life energies high. A large part of your life energy is happening compulsively, not consciously. It is happening as a reaction to external situations, which are never one hundred percent in your control. Now depression becomes normal, and the more exposed you are to life, the more miserable you will become. People can cause depression to themselves in so many ways. If you take away what they think is precious, they become depressed. Depression means somewhere, a certain hopelessness sets in. If you go to some very poor village in India, they are really impoverished, but you will see joyful faces, because they have hope — it is going to be better tomorrow.
