"You have to do something about yourself to prove that you are fantastic that they start looking upto you in such a way that they will allow you to influence them"... What a wisdom 🙏🏼
I told this to my parents way before watching this video. All my teenage times they violently objected and tried to prevent me from playing video games. However they did not say what else to do. Okay I stopped playing so what then what? No answer. Most parents do that "TURN IT OFF" That's not how it works. You lead your child and show them an activity that is worthwhile instead of computer games. You lead the way. Not just tell and threaten to stop. After all parents first introduced the video games, so they need to take more responsibility.
The biggest thing about vedio games is, we are confident that we can stop it any time. But that self confidence will lead into becoming the nutrients for games
The problem is not playing video games. The problem lies in over-use and addiction. Back in the day everyone used to say watching tv for students is bad , now the video game took its place. Video game is an art form . Its like a lover of art admiring the painting on the wall. But the problem starts when the viewer stops his daily activities to observe just the paintings. The keyword here is moderation and making right choice to spend ones time.
Also video games have been corporatized like everything else, if you had a community of young people developing their own video games and playing eachother's games it would be more pure of an art form and evoke much creativity
I play about 2 - 4 hours every week, becuase it is a immense world of creativity and human feelings you are invoked in - if you play the right kind of games. I am a writer and i see gaming as a tool to develop my writing skills. As long as you take care of your life, I dont see any problems with it :)
Video games are fine if played consiously, but there are other systems that are very very powerful and soothing for ones growth. Thats the main reason.
@Overclock FX I cant force writing, it come when it comes :) Video games is one thing to "start" the inspiration. And I have written 3 books, in the span of 10 years :)
Well Am 17 n a video game developer I totally agree with Sadhguru Video games are just not about shooting people or playing to pass time or nor playing for whole day For me video games are like one of the best combination of art, science, maths, music, everything I've learnt in my life till date... It's so complex n I love it
As a game developer yes its fine for ones growth. As a player of the game? Not really its not even close. We are talking about a player here not a game developer.
Social media is alot worse for people's well being and mentality.. Bringing people into a constant state of judgement and delusionment.. having a healthy balance of life incorporating whatever you enjoy weather it be gaming or anything with development and growth is the way forward. 🙏
The fatalest thing is that 12 year olds think it's cool to be depressive and to be not sure of ones sexuality and idendity because it's trending everywhere in social media these days.
I used to play video games like that when I was in my early 20s. There are worse hobbies, but if I could go back in time, wish I had spent the time either reading or socializing. It's not so much good or bad as good, better, and best. What is the best use of your time? Your time is for most people the most valuable asset you have -- and once spent, you can never get it back. You can never relive your teen years, your 20s, your 30s, etc. So it's kind of important to think a little bit about how you're spending your time, and make course corrections as needed.
I think it's the overuse of the video games that's the problem. Like with studying you need a break. I see no problem with a couple of hours playing once or twice a week and then the rest of your time is spent reading, socialising, learning, exercising etc. I played a few hours each week in my teens and 20s, had great memories and also achieved exciting things so it's all in a balance. I think watching a TV show is the same. It's not actually making you productive or helping you to develop but it''s a break to then recharge you in achieving your goals.
It is very common for people that have not grown up with video games, to not see a point. Maybe some come out not interested in life, but others like myself use it to further my own intelligence and willpower. Map reading, split tasking, quick thinking and crafting are some of my favorite parts. now that im a adult, im getting more into science because of that. By playing video games, I've lived for what feels like forever, learning of other worlds and my own.
I am 43. Video games would have helped my life between those ages.

Anything, when consumed well within its certain limit, will not cause any problem. It may rather help you in your development. I like computer programming (coding).

My mom emailed me this and she doesn’t like the game that I’ve been playing recently (it’s a first person shooter (Overwatch)(this is the first first person shooter game I’ve ever owned/played)). I got into it not because it was a shooting game. I fell in awe from the cinematics and each characters’ stories and origins, their animation is absolutely beautiful and as an artist, I greatly admire it. The maps are amazingly constructed and very aesthetic and beautiful, just to name a few: Hanamura, Havana, and Route 66. I find it fun to play and it’s not like I play it for hours on end. Some days I don’t feel like playing. Ik some gamers out there get tilted or rly mad easily when they lose, but I just kinda brush it off and think, “maybe next time.” I keep a positive mindset when playing and it makes me enjoy it a lot more rather than getting angry about losing 4 matches in a row. I enjoy playing and know that it’s not good to play for so long, which I don’t, but my mom is so against me playing it. She’s never said it, but she makes comments implying it. This video is insightful and I like that he wasn’t taking one side or the other, very neutral about the whole thing.
Yes many mothers think playing a game is bad but she watch a movie or video for entertainment, that is good. No . Both are time pass. If life dosent seem interesting, You will think of entertainment. If life is happening in full volume, you will have no time to pass. Every moment is bliss. Enjoy life , Experience life.....
As a kid after school gaming with friends are fondest memories I have That's why I sometimes play videogames in remembrance of simpler times when life wasn't so complex and filled with selfishness
The true value of video games reveals itself when you're able to live another life, mini life. It's like reading a good book, but you can make your own choices, and/or the choice hits harder and makes you question things. But there're games/movies/books just for entertainment, and there're people that just want to be entertained.
Video games are fine if played consiously, but there are other systems that are very very powerful and soothing for ones growth. Thats the main reason. Whereas in video games its not really a tool for growth is it? What we are looking for in our growth years is something that enables you not something that MAY enable you. Its a world of difference.
Personally I have to say as long as you keep it sensible it's fine, too many people think they're purely negative but in fact they allow you to express yourself to the fullest without consequence so "bad" people will be bad guys while "good" people will do heroic things.
Glad he addressed this question as it is my field of work and I am always thinking about how we can use this new technology to improve peoples lives rather than worsen it. Many have spoken about video games as an escape during difficult times in their lives, so there is definitely some benefits but it is something that needs to be controlled in peoples lives and handled in a conscious way, both by those who play games and those who make them 🙏
Same for me for special questions i have, suddenly a video about the same topic in my recommendation. I feel like its the universe giving me the answers that way, time to time
This is so true i can relate.......gaming almost took over my life at one point however im working on spending less time gaming and more time developing myself.
What Sadhguru says: parents should be interested in their kids and what they like and teach them one or two things about life and love them. The purpose of kids is not just have kids because society demands. What we gamers hear: video games are bad 😂🤣🙃

@Overclock FX Then Majority of the things in life is a waste of time. Ever teamed up with random players on discord from all across the world? It requires skills to communicate and plan with the entire team. Yes.. everything is bad when done in excess. Most of us only play on weekends for a few hours.
open your mind > play a computer game! > you may find great joy to play an activity together with others > you may find the wisdom of storytellers and experience new perspectives you never knew before > not all is violence > moderation is key > open your heart & mind to connect in many different ways such as games of all different kinds, sports, board games, cards > have fun!
With reference to this video, I have been playing games for almost 2 decades now. I did not like any of the generic sports I played, did not like to fit into uncomfortable social groups. There was no jungle, ocean, mountain within 500 km of my house in India so no I couldn't do any of that. I did have non-digital games but no one to play with after a certain point of time. In practical reality, I never quite played games purely for fun, nah for me it was the level of immersion and quality multisensory experience. Games like MGS Phantom Pain, Assassin's Creed, Tomb Raider have not only taught me life lessons but also developed my interest towards CGI, Animation, and Design. I have absolutely no regrets for the time I spent in videogames as they are fine pieces of art and one of the best mediums of story telling. At present, I am a 3D artist and a videogame designer :) PS. I'm not talking about never ending trash games like PUBG, Fortnite.
(I respect Sadhguru more than anything but I really want to express my opinion too) - Video games are a great way for dealing with excessive stress (which is very common in this generation). They are good for enjoying with your friends for some fun (helps in socialization and communication skills). It's in no way a problem but excessive gaming can cause many problems. Playing games for 6 hours a day with no human interaction is really bad. But gaming is in NO way a bad thing. I too think physical sports are always the better option. Just to clear that up. (And there ARE video game World cups happening in this generation. So we are not far away from a world where video games are NOT considered taboo and bad)
I will say one possible positive offshoot is with AI and AR and VR becoming more and more prevalent and ubiquitous (Metaverse) I'm glad my son at 12 is well versed -pun intended- with Occulus and those realities and abilities. I will add, my son loves playing outside and hiking and paintball with friends. Thank you Sadhguru.
As everything in life, balance is the key. I'm only writing this because I learned English playing. Today I'm a successful computer programmer, and everything begun with games... I'm 33, still playing today (3...4 hours a week, not a day) 5 hours/ day is insane. So... balance...
“Everybody is making choices; even their compulsions are their choices. Choices made in unawareness are compulsions . . . say you get angry right now. It is your choice to be angry . . . you believe that’s the way to handle the situation, but the choice is made in such unawareness that it is a compulsion.”
To conquer addiction sustainability, we have to face the fear of emptiness head on. The nature of being is so empty that it becomes The Fullest thing there is. By practicing meditation we get back in touch with being and begin to find the balance again. :)
In some way you have to make yourself more exciting then the video game. If you tend to it everyday, everyday it will turn to be something - Sadhguru. I'm 20 years old and Ive been writing my lifestory since I was 18 years old and boy sadhguru is right.
Gaming is just another form of entertainment. So just like with other forms of entertainment, keep it in a way where your jobs and chores don't suffer. Just like you don't wanna watch TV all day or read a Novel all day.
I agree! People used to say: don't read so much! Young women retreating to their rooms and reading are bad, they don't engage with social life. Is reading bad? No. Is dreaming bad? No. Is taking in another person's work of a world bad? I don't think so.
Reading is by far something forgotten, you can't be mad at someone reading but it is all time it is the same , too much isn't good. So of course reading doesn't teach you how to live , as the life ask to be experimented.
Facebook's meta verse may can be worst....it may be great but that will also may create many addictions like we never seen before.. sadhguru ji k varose🙏🙏
Saedhguru is a extrovert. Extrovert tends to enjoy going places and experiencing things. Just because one is introvert and play video games of shooting, it shouldn't be implied to violent behavior. Anything of consuming excessively is going to harm. Even consumption excessively vitamins causes hypervitamamosis.
The fact of beeing an introvert is very good for an argument! I'm an introvert myself and highly sensitive and though I don't stay at home all day (I work in a hospital, I like mountain biking, I have a few close friends...), sometimes I really don't want to see another human beeing. Gives me the creeps. These are the times, where I can enjoy a good book or video game. And I think both can be highly sophisticated forms of art. And it really helps me to get my focus back. Also I live in a place, where kids can not walk around and play. It is all restricted or dangerous or else you have to fit in. Who doesn't love their share of freedom. And where better to find it than in a videogame. No one can blame the kids for that...
there is one dimension about video game and movies which can make you feel connected to life more deeper then meditive state. its short term thing, but the feeling can always be accessed like being in meditive state, but im not gonna mention what it is. The way how these peoples are definately are not experiencing that
What is the easiest way to access water? Through a tap in your house or walk 100 kms away to a river? when one choses games to become meditative its like walking 100 kms away to a river to get the water. Not a very smart way of doing things.
@@Ahatcho21 absolutely, i dont defend gaming, please dont get me wrong its limited way of life, but i meant more its possible to experience blissful state through screen also, because what ever you perceive it becomes your reality. The blissful state i mean is what i have experienced, the gamers do not feel it. it goes much more deeper then that. In life there are many layers. if you only play in your adult life, the mind becomes numb. the less time we spend behind screens the better. especially phones
greatly said Sadhguru, but also it is a fact that many people have founded their career in video games and streaming and it is actually being adopted by indian youth also
4:20 "video game world Cup" Yes there are many, Dota TI being the biggest ($ 10M+ prize pool) and China govt. Is heavily invested in training e-Sports players.
Focus on eliminating the need rather than supply. Strategy that always works. That's how you can keep the people from being hooked on/addicted to anything really.
There are very educational video games where you can learn many things. Just like movies. In my case games were very helpful and educational, raised my creativity and wisdom. It all depends on what content you choose to play.
I agree. Video games function as a medium for Art in our time, like movies, literature, music or dance was in earlier time. The most immediate effect would be on most Gamers is to recognize how life is also a Great game...
I've already passed through that development stage without the games and Still messed everything up anyway. I might as well have just played the games and I'd still be here.

Sadhguru should look into a strongly emotionally touching game, one that brings peace and (self-)love to someone's mind. Maybe he will change his opinion. Why do everything with an urge for development? Doesn't yoga and meditation teach us to do something just for the purpose of doing it? That we need to let go of having somewhere we need to "get" to? Games just like books are great works of humanity, although not every game is, just like not every book is. You can connect much more deeply to books and games in this time and age because in the society we live in it is becoming close to impossible to connect deeply to other human beings.

I am trying to be that fantastic mom 🥰..Thank you for everything Guruji. I bow down to you 🙏
Glad he addressed this question as it is my field of work and I am always thinking about how we can use this new technology to improve peoples lives rather than worsen it. Many have spoken about video games as an escape during difficult times in their lives, so there is definitely some benefits but it is something that needs to be controlled in peoples lives and handled in a conscious way, both by those who play games and those who make them 🙏
Sadguru do u read mind??..every time I think about something ur videos pop up with that content♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Same here
Same for me for special questions i have, suddenly a video about the same topic in my recommendation. I feel like its the universe giving me the answers that way, time to time

It is the self realization within us that lets us free from video game addiction
This is so true i can relate.......gaming almost took over my life at one point however im working on spending less time gaming and more time developing myself.
One of the best descriptions of how to parent AND how to live yourself, that I've ever heard.
What Sadhguru says:
parents should be interested in their kids and what they like and teach them one or two things about life and love them. The purpose of kids is not just have kids because society demands.
What we gamers hear:
video games are bad
😂🤣🙃
Exactly, the main and most essential point went all over the heads of so many people. The question was asked by a parent, that's why he replied in certain way and actually criticized the methods of parenting in today's generation, which where all valid points. It went all over people's head, even though was apparent, people really do wanna hear what they want to.
@@subhadramahanta452 exactly 💯
What Sadhguru says: Parents should be interested in their kids and what they like and teach them one or two things about life and love them. The purpose of having kids isn't just to have kids because society demands, give them your time and nurture them the right way.

@Overclock FX Then Majority of the things in life is a waste of time.
Ever teamed up with random players on discord from all across the world? It requires skills to communicate and plan with the entire team.
Yes.. everything is bad when done in excess. Most of us only play on weekends for a few hours.
open your mind > play a computer game! > you may find great joy to play an activity together with others > you may find the wisdom of storytellers and experience new perspectives you never knew before > not all is violence > moderation is key > open your heart & mind to connect in many different ways such as games of all different kinds, sports, board games, cards > have fun!
Namaskaram Sadguru 🙏🙏🙏
Sadhguru leaves me breathless!
Thank you ❤️
With reference to this video, I have been playing games for almost 2 decades now. I did not like any of the generic sports I played, did not like to fit into uncomfortable social groups. There was no jungle, ocean, mountain within 500 km of my house in India so no I couldn't do any of that. I did have non-digital games but no one to play with after a certain point of time.
In practical reality, I never quite played games purely for fun, nah for me it was the level of immersion and quality multisensory experience. Games like MGS Phantom Pain, Assassin's Creed, Tomb Raider have not only taught me life lessons but also developed my interest towards CGI, Animation, and Design.
I have absolutely no regrets for the time I spent in videogames as they are fine pieces of art and one of the best mediums of story telling. At present, I am a 3D artist and a videogame designer :)
PS. I'm not talking about never ending trash games like PUBG, Fortnite.
You are a very awesome person
Wow ! I feel this was a very good method and way for our generatiom to come out of the rut of over stimulation 🙏❤️
Sadhguru is best east or west 🤙😊😊😍
No
Sadhguru is a brilliant man
🙏 Namaskaram Sadhguru gracias 💙💚💜💛🧡💙💚💜🧡💙💚💜🧡💙💚🧡💜
(I respect Sadhguru more than anything but I really want to express my opinion too) - Video games are a great way for dealing with excessive stress (which is very common in this generation). They are good for enjoying with your friends for some fun (helps in socialization and communication skills). It's in no way a problem but excessive gaming can cause many problems. Playing games for 6 hours a day with no human interaction is really bad. But gaming is in NO way a bad thing. I too think physical sports are always the better option. Just to clear that up.
(And there ARE video game World cups happening in this generation. So we are not far away from a world where video games are NOT considered taboo and bad)
Ayo chill I get it 😂
@@adarshnaik1480 haha no I just thought people who play video games would feel guilty. That's not healthy. So 😅
I think you are kid
Play!Play!
When you will grow you will realise
It's just waste of time
Want to release stress?
Play Outdoor games
Yes you are right
It can be good if you know the limit. Everything in excess is bad. Most of people do in excess.
Thank you sadhguru...
I will say one possible positive offshoot is with AI and AR and VR becoming more and more prevalent and ubiquitous (Metaverse) I'm glad my son at 12 is well versed -pun intended- with Occulus and those realities and abilities. I will add, my son loves playing outside and hiking and paintball with friends. Thank you Sadhguru.
Does he know about 5D reality and Ascension period...
As everything in life, balance is the key. I'm only writing this because I learned English playing. Today I'm a successful computer programmer, and everything begun with games... I'm 33, still playing today (3...4 hours a week, not a day)
5 hours/ day is insane. So... balance...
GENIUS!! GENIUS!! GENIUS!!
"This is the consequence of handling a human being, including yourself." Do not try to handle another being if you can't handle yourself.
“Everybody is making choices; even their compulsions are their choices. Choices made in unawareness are compulsions . . . say you get angry right now. It is your choice to be angry . . . you believe that’s the way to handle the situation, but the choice is made in such unawareness that it is a compulsion.”
every choice adds up to the karma
@@nileenabanra8499 yes exactly!
To the greatest Guru bht bht dhanyawad 🙏🏻🙏🏻 magical words
Be fantastic to your version..,
There are more ways than videogame..
I’ve returned myself To nature Outside…More often. 🙏
This type of thing just pushes me further towards left-handed spirituality. Enough peace, love, and discipline. We need chaos, apathy, and freedom.
Could you explain what you mean or elaborate?
@@paulmwoodard904 Elaborate on which part?
Interesting insight.
Jai Jai Bolenath a shambo mahadev shiva shankar!
Happy first October 2023 🎉🎉ji namaste sadguru 🎉🎉ji 👑❤ tq tq
To conquer addiction sustainability, we have to face the fear of emptiness head on. The nature of being is so empty that it becomes The Fullest thing there is.
By practicing meditation we get back in touch with being and begin to find the balance again. :)
The brains respons to blue light stimulation is that it activates dopamine receptors in the brain, so in a way yes addiction
In some way you have to make yourself more exciting then the video game. If you tend to it everyday, everyday it will turn to be something - Sadhguru.
I'm 20 years old and Ive been writing my lifestory since I was 18 years old and boy sadhguru is right.
Sadhguru Dev Today it's my birthday,So kindly bless,guide & heal🙌💥🌹🙏🏻
Not all adults are parents. Having children is 18 years of commitment of a lifetime.
Sadhgrur always explain " moral + daily routine+jokes=improves ur knowledge
Gaming is just another form of entertainment.
So just like with other forms of entertainment, keep it in a way where your jobs and chores don't suffer. Just like you don't wanna watch TV all day or read a Novel all day.
I agree! People used to say: don't read so much! Young women retreating to their rooms and reading are bad, they don't engage with social life. Is reading bad? No. Is dreaming bad? No. Is taking in another person's work of a world bad? I don't think so.
Reading is by far something forgotten, you can't be mad at someone reading but it is all time it is the same , too much isn't good. So of course reading doesn't teach you how to live , as the life ask to be experimented.
I love listening to this man!!! :)
Facebook's meta verse may can be worst....it may be great but that will also may create many addictions like we never seen before.. sadhguru ji k varose🙏🙏
So true!
Well to be honest , Video games taught me a lot about life . (YES, the play should be limited)
And i think they made me more HUMAN .
Best Eye Opening Video ✨🙏
For some video games distract them from real life problems. It takes you to a whole another world.
I used videogames 6 to 8 hours a day as I was in the age of 18 to 25. After that I started selling games and hardware very successful. Passion. 🤷♂️
Basically you started making other people get addicted to the video games. Very Insightful of you.
Saedhguru is a extrovert. Extrovert tends to enjoy going places and experiencing things. Just because one is introvert and play video games of shooting, it shouldn't be implied to violent behavior. Anything of consuming excessively is going to harm. Even consumption excessively vitamins causes hypervitamamosis.
🤧🤧🤧🤧
Wah kya gyaan hain 😅
Looks like u play video game all day.😂
The fact of beeing an introvert is very good for an argument! I'm an introvert myself and highly sensitive and though I don't stay at home all day (I work in a hospital, I like mountain biking, I have a few close friends...), sometimes I really don't want to see another human beeing. Gives me the creeps. These are the times, where I can enjoy a good book or video game. And I think both can be highly sophisticated forms of art. And it really helps me to get my focus back.
Also I live in a place, where kids can not walk around and play. It is all restricted or dangerous or else you have to fit in. Who doesn't love their share of freedom. And where better to find it than in a videogame. No one can blame the kids for that...

A ladybug lands on Sadhguru's head and explores for a few minutes 🐞
It climbed around his arm at 8:44
there is one dimension about video game and movies which can make you feel connected to life more deeper then meditive state. its short term thing, but the feeling can always be accessed like being in meditive state, but im not gonna mention what it is. The way how these peoples are definately are not experiencing that
What is the easiest way to access water? Through a tap in your house or walk 100 kms away to a river? when one choses games to become meditative its like walking 100 kms away to a river to get the water. Not a very smart way of doing things.
@@Ahatcho21 absolutely, i dont defend gaming, please dont get me wrong its limited way of life, but i meant more its possible to experience blissful state through screen also, because what ever you perceive it becomes your reality. The blissful state i mean is what i have experienced, the gamers do not feel it. it goes much more deeper then that. In life there are many layers. if you only play in your adult life, the mind becomes numb. the less time we spend behind screens the better. especially phones
He is such a good speaker
greatly said Sadhguru, but also it is a fact that many people have founded their career in video games and streaming and it is actually being adopted by indian youth also
Namaskar Sadhguru
Love you sadguru
Thanks dad. ❤
listening with ,my 7 year old granson in the uk
4:20 "video game world Cup"
Yes there are many, Dota TI being the biggest ($ 10M+ prize pool) and China govt. Is heavily invested in training e-Sports players.
Seriously! How can you talk about video games when you know nothing about the culture.🤷♂️🤦♂️
Video games help me think faster, it doesn't affect my brain.. U don't have be an addict.. Video games always be the best no matter what anyone says
You are making a conclusion on what you know. But what you don't know might be even better.
Focus on eliminating the need rather than supply. Strategy that always works. That's how you can keep the people from being hooked on/addicted to anything really.
More parents need to see this
Love all your videos thank you so much❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this, thank you.
My Bholenath 😭❤️❤️
I love you Sadhguru 😭🙏
My friend fell into drugs, he just needed to get out be physical and be in nature. I hope he can be healed.
Love respect and gratitude. The children are the future.
Bahut sundar🌸
Not good playing all day long. But this is proved it improves Reaction!!!
There are very educational video games where you can learn many things. Just like movies. In my case games were very helpful and educational, raised my creativity and wisdom. It all depends on what content you choose to play.
I agree. Video games function as a medium for Art in our time, like movies, literature, music or dance was in earlier time. The most immediate effect would be on most Gamers is to recognize how life is also a Great game...
Experience life
I've already passed through that development stage without the games and Still messed everything up anyway. I might as well have just played the games and I'd still be here.
blessed ;ive sad 2 say i jno of a famiy dat put their child 2 sleep literally because they gave her a cellphone wgen she was younger n bt da time she was 14 they cud not reach her humane self n da experts n docters claimed there was nothing they cud do so they put her 2 sleep in dat state me so glad 4 a great works u do n inspire ase
Im in love with u sadhguru 💙 u are so amazing 🌠✨
Well Said !!!
Sadhguru video is addictive for me💋
Such a great video 🙏🎉
Sadhguru should look into a strongly emotionally touching game, one that brings peace and (self-)love to someone's mind. Maybe he will change his opinion.
Why do everything with an urge for development? Doesn't yoga and meditation teach us to do something just for the purpose of doing it? That we need to let go of having somewhere we need to "get" to?
Games just like books are great works of humanity, although not every game is, just like not every book is.
You can connect much more deeply to books and games in this time and age because in the society we live in it is becoming close to impossible to connect deeply to other human beings.
Nice humble gentle wise to listen to this ! 🙃
Thanks SADHGURUJI 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 AND ISHA TEAM

Much needed thought.
