There is a video where a student asks sadguru this question.
She is more motivated to study when her friends do better. Is it wrong?
Sadguru says it is like a donkey running because firecracker was attached to a donkey tail
Millions applauded his answer
The applause is all idolism or hero worshipping
I was not impressed. A donkey that runs because of firecrackers attached to tail is running from fear. Not from jealousy. A bad comparison
But millions will follow! That’s all they can do. Hero worship. Not think
My answer is very different. But who will listen
