Symptom 1: You Are Consumed By Thoug
Symptom 1: You Are Consumed By Thoug
Sadhguru:Lethargy comes from over consumption of either food or thought. One may think how over consumption would bring lethargy, though everyone can understand over consumption of food definitely brings lethargy. Well, if you become consumed by thought, you will see you would not like to move out of your bed. I did not talk about thinking. I'm talking about over consumption of thought. That means thought is continuously flowing, without your effort, without your focus, without your intent.
Sadhguru (Sadguru): Hydrowsiness comes from overeating or overeating by thoughts. Some people may wonder how over-consuming thoughts can lead to lethargy, although everyone can understand that eating too much can certainly make people drowsy. Well, if you are swallowed by the thoughts, you will find that you are reluctant to leave your bed. What I am talking about is not thinking, what I am talking about is overly consumed by ideas. This means that ideas are constantly flowing without your efforts, your focus, your intentions.
Once it becomes like this, you will see naturally you feel like avoiding physical activity and when it goes beyond a certain point that you get totally possessed by your own thought...Well, there are ugly names to describe that in medical terms. It's important, there is a certain amount of moderation in consumption of food, and endless amount of thought that could happen. Thinking vividly and just consuming or living upon thought or being consumed by thought are very different things. That is an unfortunate reality that for a whole lot of people, this distinction is not apparent. And the price that humanity's paying for that is not a fair price.

Thinking consciously, just being consumed by ideas or living in ideas, swallowed by ideas, these three are very different things. This is an unfortunate reality: for many people, this difference is not obvious, and the price humans pay for it is not fair.

Symptom 3: You use Your Intellect On Every Aspect of Life
Sadhguru:6 If you apply only your intelligence, ignoring other aspects of your intelligence, you will get confused about every little thing in life. Because intelligence is a cutting instrument. It is like a knife. If you want to dissect, it's a good instrument. But if you try to sew with a knife, you will be left in tatters. Well, that is what most human beings are experiencing right now, that they are using a cutting instrument, to stitch, to put things together.

There was a time they divided the world, then they divided more and more. You have seen this, there was a time people could live together. There were families in India where there were four hundred, six hundred people in one family living in one house. Then slowly it became just parents and children and grandchildren. Now, grandparents became a little bit of a problem. So, we send them elsewhere. Now children become a problem, we send them elsewhere. And slowly husband and wife are living in separate houses meeting on weekends. Not just that, within yourself, you've split yourself into many people by cutting yourself into pieces, because this is the process of discipline. If you use only your intelligence for every dimension of life, this is where you will get; one day you will get schizophrenic. Yes.
