Find out what you really want by imagining yourself alone on the planet.
from Inner Engineering: A Yogi's Guide to Joy by Sadhguru
If you want something just because others don’t have it, and this brings you joy, isn’t that a kind of sickness? This joy springs from another’s deprivation. So instead, find out what it is that you really want by imagining being alone on the planet. If you do this exercise every day, you will become aligned with your true life longings, not the karma mess that you believe you are.
