Sadhguru had a simple answer to his complicated queries.
“People keep coming to me and say, ‘Sadhguru, please bless me this should
happen that should happen’. I tell them see, my blessing is may all your dreams
not come true. They get shocked (laughs),” he told Matthew McConaughey.
He further said, “What can you dream of? Right now I
don’t know what you are drinking, suppose it’s coffee. If you have had one cup
of coffee, maybe you will dream of a parallel coffee. If you have a million
dollars, maybe you will think of a billion dollars. I am saying all your dreams
are just exaggerations of what you already know. If you go like this, you are
ensuring that nothing new ever happens to you.

“So my blessing is ‘may your dreams not come true’,
‘may things that you could never dream of happening to you’. If you have to be
an open possibility like this, we must understand, that is why karma is very
important. Karma means it’s the bedrock of your memory. It’s the bedrock of
memory means who you are right now as a person.”
