Most people embrace change when it concerns the latest tech gadget, a better paying job, or finding that special someone after the last relationship went sour. These types of changes are sought after, based on the belief that changing our external situation will bring long-lasting happiness. But is this really the case?
How many times have you, or others you know, found that a new gadget, job, or relationship did not solve all your problems?

What, then, is the solution?
In response to a question about karma and the mind, Sadhguru reminds us that spiritual process should not be an academic exercise but an experiential longing to know. Drop any preconceived ideas of karma, he says, as karma, or memory, is not the problem.
