Main reasons to get support from government

There are many specific reasons to get support from government, and some can be considered better than others (and these reasons may ordered accordingly). This list includes the main reasons to get government support generally:


1) unfortunate circumstance like illness, injury, weakness, disability, natural disasters, bad luck, etc.


2) too difficult to support yourself because the way society is (in terms of what society values (or does not value)), is too divergent from your way (see my rehabilitating to a sustainable way of life document for an example)


3) epidemiological needs such as civilian infrastructure (and in overly fear-based / "real"? (fear-based) world, military might/leverage/action)


4) a belief that basically justifies that the government took from you, therefore you have a right to take from the government


5) opportunistic in a bad way, like a cheater or stealer, and can exploit the system

How involved in isha are you?

5 - I have dedicated/surrendered my life to Sadhguru and isha and mainly focus on moksha, or maximum involvement in isha

4 - I love Sadhguru and isha! and want to give much of my time/energy to isha, participating as much as possible while also having a life outside of Isha (when isha is not fully aligned with what I am aligned with for example)


3 - I cannot be as committed as some are in isha, but want to be part of isha as much as I can because I like/love it so much


2 - I'm not too involved in isha, but from some observation, involvement, or word of mouth, I think it's good and I liked my experiences, and am open to further involvement/opportunities 


1 - I have come across some things about Sadhguru on social media, and it seems interesting, but I don't know too much, and maybe I will get more involved.


note: I'm between the 3 and 4

...with liberty and justice for all

 Reflective pledger to the USA, a less mature culture*
On a daily basis,  at the end of the pledge of allegiance, we pledged for freedom and justice, whether conscious or not1. Many of us became and still are very involved in such efforts, whether conscious or not. We may be missing a few important considerations.

Consideration freedom2, like Sadhguru ji aptly describes, responsibility should come first3.


Consideration justice, do you understand karma really? If one's current situation (like of reaping or not, how good or bad the reap is) is really based on what they did, what they do, or will do (how they sowed), then they are responsible for their own actions. Not that one can't try to help them get out of such a situation, like from good-spirited places such as love, or truth, but do you have a good, complete, transcendent understanding of your self, in your fight against injustice?4, 5
