Tollywood actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu was recently in conversation with the spiritual Guru Sadhguru and they in fact got into an argument of sorts when Samantha asked him about life’s problems being termed as karma of past. A report on indianexpress.com talked about it and we take reference from that story for our write up here.
She posed a series of questions to him, and seemed to be engaging with his answers. The questions covered topics such as the quest for spirituality being exclusive to the privileged class, to the idea of individuality. But she was quite interested in knowing Sadhguru’s opinion on a question that had been on her mind lately.
She asked, “Another question that has been on my mind lately is that how much of one’s life is a result of their past karma? Are the injustices and unfairness that one faces in one’s life a result of their past karma, and if so, do you accept these injustices and find solace in the fact that the karma is being cleared, even though it might seem detrimental to our lives in so many ways…?”
Sadhguru replied, “Do you still expect the world to be fair to you?” Samantha said with a laugh, “That’s why I’m asking this question! Can I blame it on my past karma is what I’m asking.” Sadhguru responded, “I want the world to be fair to me is a schoolgirl question,” before offering an explanation about how life is inherently unfair. “By now, you should know the world is not fair. It will not be fair,” he said.
She subsequently spoke about being trolled mercilessly online, and often shared motivational messages on social media. “Your emotional investment into a personal crisis has overwhelmed me. Thank you all for showing deep empathy, concern and for defending me against false rumours and stories that are being spread. They say I had affairs, never wanted children, that I am an opportunist and now that I have had abortions. A divorce in itself is an extremely painful process. Let alone allowing me the time to heal. This attack on me personally, has been relentless. But I promise you this, I will never allow this or anything else they say, break me,” Samantha said in a statement.
Well, what is your opinion on this?
