Sadhguru's Advice to Youth on Pornography and Masturbation
Sadhguru gave advice to young people about pornography and masturbation.
He said that these things are part of life, but they shouldn't be the most important part.
He compared it to a temple's art, which shows these things but is not the main focus.
He explained that relying too much on biology can hold you back, as intelligence and awareness should be more important.
He advises to understand your biology without letting it control you.
Sadhguru offered advice to youth regarding pornography and masturbation on International Youth Day.
He stated that repeated exposure to pornography is linked to depression, anxiety, and distorted views of intimacy.
Sadhguru suggests that the focus should be on intelligence and consciousness, not biology.
He explains that biology is a part of life but should not be the front end, referencing temple art as an example.
Sadhguru said that one should not glorify biology, nor be in denial of it, and should judge what's needed for themselves.
