Establishing True Wellbeing

A FEW GOOD THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF IN THE WORDS OF SADHGURU

In pursuit of human wellbeing, much has been done on this planet; especially in the last hundred years with the use of science and technology, we have done so much to create human well-being. With this, definitely much comfort and convenience has come our way. But at the same time we cannot claim we are the most joyful generation on the planet; we cannot claim we are the most peaceful generation on the planet nor can we claim we are most loving generation on the planet. Never before another generation could even dream of these kinds of conveniences and comforts; but has humanity really achieved true wellness?

For this I think, looking at India would be little unfair because it has a large population where even the basic needs have not been met. But if you look at the western societies, for example today United States which is standing as an example of ultimate success in terms of economics and whatever, over 40% of the people are on some kind of psychological medication to keep themselves balanced. Anti-depressants are consumed by over 40% of the people. The outside has been sufficiently fixed, but human beings are not well because we took care of the outside, we never bothered to take care of the inside.
