1
How much of one's life is a result of their past karma?
2
Are the injustices and unfairnesses that one faces in one's life a result of their past karma?
3
If so, do you accept these injustices and find solace in the fact that, okay, the karma is being cleared,
4
even though it might seem detrimental to our lives in so many ways?
5
Samantha, you're old enough for this.
6
I'm not saying you're old, I said you're old enough that, do you still expect the world to be fair to you?
7
That's why I'm asking this question .
8
Can I blame it on my past karma is what I'm asking.
9
I want the world to be fair to me is a school girl question.
10
By now you should know the world is not fair, it will not be fair to you.
11
But if you dig deep into yourself and have a taste of life,
12
not a taste of your thought and emotion, the taste of life that you are, then you will see life is not just fair, it's It's just fantastic.
13
So do you want fair life or fantastic life?
14
You must decide.
15
I've noticed this, that beyond the material ego, there is now suddenly a widespread… Who's this ego guy, your friend?
16
It's all around me .
17
And in my industry, the heights of it.
18
So beyond the material ego, I've noticed there's now widespread spiritual ego.
19
I've come across a lot of people who are now on a spiritual path.
20
Not you Sadhguru.
21
Who consider themselves superior to people who are not on a spiritual path.
22
How would you advise such people to ensure that they don't fall a prey to this new spiritual ego?
23
We'll… first we'll address this ego guy, okay?
24
If you show me where it is, I'll fix it right now.
25
I wish I knew where it was, it just keeps coming suddenly.
26
No, you don't know where it is.
27
The thing is just this, see at certain moments, as a person,
28
as a woman, you are a beautiful person, wonderful person I mean.
29
I'm sorry, I didn't say only at certain times you're beautiful, you're always beautiful but certain times you're wonderful, all right?
30
Certain moments maybe you're nasty, possible.
31
So whenever you're nasty, you say, it's my ego.
32
Why don't you say, it's me, I'm sometimes wonderful, sometimes nasty.
33
If you see this, naturally nastiness will go down.
34
But if you say, whenever your nasty Mr. Ego does this, and you don't know where he is, you don't know his address or ID, nor do you know his phone number,
35
so how do you fix this guy?
36
So everybody has this going in their life, because this is spiritual jargon without being spiritual,
37
is all over the place, particularly in India.
38
Because we have, you know, fifteen, twenty thousand years of spiritual history, so we We know all the words, we know what atma, paramatma,
39
this one, that one, ahankara, everything we know, words only.
40
Words only, noted.
41
So we can just throw words like this and confuse the western population quite a bit.
42
Because if you come here they'll say mukti, shakti, this one, that one, all kinds of things.
43
I know a lot of people who've gone and set up spiritual centers in the west,
44
particularly in America because they just know one chant, just one chant.
45
Okay, asatoma sadgamaya, with this they run the whole thing .
46
So unfortunately, spirituality in some ways it's come there.
47
It's come there because there is need in the society, there is not enough source.
48
Because of that, people are manufacturing this here and there.
49
This happened, you know, a few years ago, fifteen, sixteen years ago.
50
And I was in United States and then somebody in the office, our office told me, Sadhguru,
51
did you know every day, hundred thousand people are typing out the word spiritual?
52
I said, is that so?
53
Type it out and see what comes out.
54
Are we even there in the picture?
55
They typed out spirituality.
56
First thing that comes up is a spa in Mexico.
57
You've been there.
58
And the next thing that comes out is a call girl in Northern California.
59
She has learnt all that SEO.
60
For everything she says spiritual, spiritual, spiritual, hundred and eight times she uses the word spiritual on our website.
61
You say spiritual, she comes up, number two.
62
I thought this is a shame.
63
For thousands of years, anything spiritual means people looked East.
64
East means India, that's what it meant.
65
So I said we must start something, a spiritual gateway, that if people say if they seek spirituality,
66
they must look towards India.
67
Because this This is one culture which has spent maximum amount of time
68
maximum amount of time exploring human consciousness and the mechanics of what a human being is,
69
how this functions on the surface and its very core.
70
How does this function?
71
What can we do about it?
72
This has been explored.
73
I'm not saying this out of my Indian origin, I'm saying this after looking at the world closely,
74
that nowhere else has it been looked at like this.
75
So, I said we must start a spiritual gateway, India the spiritual gateway, I must tell you this.
76
Till about fifteen years ago, I had not met a single guru in this country.
77
I just did not meet, I was just busy doing my own work.
78
I never thought I had to go and look for somebody, I had never been to any other ashram anywhere.
79
And then I thought, okay, let me make an attempt, then I started making phone calls.
80
They all received my call pretty well and then I started visiting some people and started putting together.
81
We had one meeting with 125 gurus.
82
We made this thing that nobody talks about their philosophy.
83
You keep your philosophy, this is just a meeting.
84
This is just about how to enhance your ashram or your yoga center, whatever you have, how to enhance the quality.
85
We will teach you management, we will teach you branding, we will teach you how to make a website, we will teach you how to present yourself to international community.
86
Your philosophy, we don't… we don't touch… you don't touch mine, I don't touch yours, you do your own thing.
87
Because that is the beauty of this culture, that it can exist in hundreds of forms, thousands of forms, and it's okay with us.
88
So when I went about doing this, well I met many wonderful people, but at the same time, at least sixty to sixty-five percent,
89
I… it hurts me to say this, I found that if I walk into an airport or a golf course,
90
I meet better men than in the so-called spiritual centers.
91
Because it's full of jargon, no heart, no depth, no profoundness, Simply one one chant, one one nonsense,
92
one philosophy that they read somewhere, it's going on like this, this needs to change.
93
So to bring this profoundness to people, as people get closer to me, I get harder and harder and harder.
94
Those who are very close to me, I am bloody cruel.
95
Yes, because just to bring integrity into spirituality is so hard.
96
Because the moment they get spirituality, little like you said you're calling it spiritual ego, I call it spiritual airs.
97
They get spiritual airs, air bubbles get in their head.
98
Suddenly they start acting funny, they start saying things that don't exist, they start talking about nonsense that nobody understands.
99
If you speak something, whatever nonsense you speak, people in front of you must understand.
100
Otherwise, why the hell are you speaking?
101
Because the purpose of speech is to make somebody understand what you're saying.
102
No, if I say something that you don't understand, I become big, you become small.
103
This is rubbish.
104
This is going on for too long.
105
So this whole spirituality as a thing, unfortunately has fallen on bad times,
106
but slowly it is rising because people's longing is increasing.
107
I must tell you this, forty years ago when I first started the programs, in our engineering programs in various different forms,
108
eighty-five percent of the people used to come to the programs only for health problems.
109
Only twelve, fifteen percent came to know something.
110
Today over 90% of the people come because they want to know something, experience something.
111
Only eight to ten percent.
112
Only eight to ten percent are coming for health issues, which is a significant change in human consciousness.
113
About this ego business, this is one thing we must settle.
114
See within you, is there only one person or two?
115
I think one.
116
You think one?
117
I'm going to go with one.
118
One.
119
That means you're an individual.
120
An individual means, the word individual comes from indivisible.
121
You're not further divisible, that's good.
122
You're an individual.
123
If you are two, then you either schizophrenic or possessed, Psychiatrist or exorcist?
124
I can't answer.
125
Either a psychiatrist or an exorcist has to come.
126
So this is very important, everybody settle this, that don't talk about atma, paramatma, ego, this one, that one.
127
You are an individual.
128
What kind are you?
129
Are you a wonderful one or a nasty one?
130
Fix the damn thing.
131
I'm sorry.

Warum mit diesem Video sprechen üben?

Das Video mit Samantha Ruth Prabhu und Sadhguru bietet eine einzigartige Gelegenheit, das Sprechen in einem realen Kontext zu üben. Durch die Diskussion über Themen wie Karma und das Verständnis von Ungerechtigkeit im Leben können Lernende nicht nur ihre Englischkenntnisse verbessern, sondern auch tiefere Gedanken und Emotionen in einer Diskussion ausdrücken. Diese Art von Diskussion fördert das Englisch Shadowing, bei dem Benutzer den Redefluss nachahmen und ihre eigenen Sprachfähigkeiten dabei stärken können. Das aktive Mitsprechen hilft dabei, die Fähigkeiten zu verfeinern und das Selbstbewusstsein im Sprechen zu steigern.

Grammatik & Ausdrücke im Kontext

  • Fragen formulieren: Sadhguru stellt Fragen wie „Do you accept these injustices?“ oder „Do you want a fair life or a fantastic life?“. Diese Struktur ist wichtig, um die eigene Meinung auszudrücken und Gespräche zu initiieren.
  • Kontraste herstellen: Die Gegenüberstellung von „fair“ und „fantastic“ ist ein effektives Mittel, um Gedanken zu differenzieren und Nuancen in Diskussionen hervorzuheben.
  • Selbstreflexion anregen: Formulierungen wie „If you dig deep into yourself“ fördern das Nachdenken und helfen, komplexe Themen in das Gespräch einzubringen. Diese Ausdrücke sind hilfreich für das shadow speak, da Lernende lernen, persönliche Erfahrungen zu teilen.

Häufige Aussprachefallen

Bei der Aussprache gibt es einige Herausforderungen, die aus dem Video hervorgehen. Viele Lernende können Schwierigkeiten mit Wörtern wie „karma“ und „injustices“ haben, da sie nicht nur in der Phonetik komplex sind, sondern auch bestimmte Betonung erfordern. Eine klare Englische Aussprache verbessern Methode ist das langsame Nachsprechen nach dem Video, während man sich auf die entsprechenden Silben konzentriert. Achten Sie darauf, dass Wörter wie „fantastic“ klar artikuliert werden, um typische Missverständnisse zu vermeiden. Neben den Worten ist es wichtig, den Akzent und die Intonation zu beobachten, die Sadhguru in seiner Rede nutzt. Das Üben von shadowspeaks ermutigt das Gehör für diese Nuancen zu schärfen und zu einem natürlicheren Sprechen beizutragen.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
