We are remarkably good at running other people's lives. We know exactly what the Prime Minister should do, how the Finance Minister is mismanaging the economy, and which adjustments Virat Kohli needs to make to his batting stance. Sadhguru captures this habit through a sharp, everyday image: the Indian tea stall, where the man behind the counter will confidently diagnose everything wrong with the government and the national cricket squad, while failing to make a decent cup of tea.

The underlying problem is structural. When we spend our attention on commentary and criticism, we neglect the one domain where our effort actually produces results: our own work. A healthy society, a strong economy, and even a successful family business all begin with personal excellence. If each person did their job with sincerity and genuine care, the collective outcome shifts as a natural consequence, no grand intervention required. Neglecting that and redirecting energy toward judging others is what Sadhguru calls a feudal mindset: expecting someone else to fix the problems while you stand on the sidelines and point fingers.

Three questions cut through this pattern before any criticism gets directed outward: Am I doing my job well? Am I improving myself? Am I contributing something through my own actions? Evaluating a Prime Minister's decisions costs nothing and risks nothing. Evaluating your own performance is harder, and the answers carry consequences. Mastery of your own craft is the only leverage point you actually control.
