You know you don’t have to do anything in your life. If you are using it to avoid your life, it's a serious problem, isn't it? And a lot of people are using it to avoid life. I am not against it but I am saying if you are using it to enhance your life, it's okay. Cinema is somebody’s gossip, isn't it? Somebody’s story. Whole lot of people avoid reality just by watching a cinema. (Laughs) Yes, lot of people avoid reality just by gossiping. Gossip is a very fulfilling thing, you know.

If you talk about it, you will satisfy yourself with gossip, the real thing will never happen to you. If you do not talk about these things, a certain longing will appear within you, which will lead you there. You do not talk about soul, you do not talk about heaven, you do not talk about God because it is not yet a reality for you. It's not true for you, you do not talk about it. It may be said in the Gita, it may be written in the Vedas, everybody may be talking about it, it doesn’t matter. Do not talk about anything which is not yet a reality for you. So, this is the first thing you must do, you must stop lying. And if you talk about something which is not yet in your experience, to put it very bluntly, it amounts to lying. Your soul cannot be confused and first of all do not talk about a soul because it's not come into your experience. (Laughs) That’s part of the business, okay? This is not going to be a solution, this is going to be more problems because anyway once you go to him, he has to conduct a surgery (Laughs), upon your liver whether you have liver problem or not. It is not a question of semantics, it is just… not just a question of splitting hair, it's just like this - you have a heart problem but you go to a liver doctor. (Laughs) Isn't it? So it's very important. Why is it so important to correct this? Because if you do not understand the distinction between one thing and the other - suppose you go to a doctor because you have a cardiac problem and you say “Doctor, my liver is giving me trouble,” he will attend to something else, you know. When you say “I am a confused soul,” a soul cannot be confused. Sadhguru: When it comes to these aspects of life, terminology is not a question of semantics. The human mind is constantly receiving information, Sadhguru says, to such a large extent that it can only be confused!
