They can name days and streets after me, canonise and celebrate me. They can make me the queen of their kingdom, the president of their nation.

We want this to be blissful, ecstatic. But, as I said before, even being ecstatic is not goal by itself. If you are blissful by your own nature, then the important thing is that you are no more the issue. There are other issues in this existence; we can look at those. But if you are an issue, what other issue will you take in your hands? You will not touch anything. When I am enough trouble myself, why do I want to take on this one or that one? When I am no more an issue, now I am willing to dig into the whole existence and see what it is all about.","author":"Sadhguru","tags":["bliss","ecstasy","liberation","sainthood"],"id":92053,"author_id":"Sadhguru"},{"text":"I know I'll hold this loss in my heart forever.
