Sadhguru has spoken about the importance of raising the next generation with a sense of inclusion after a 19-year-old man was charged in connection with an alleged plan for a mass shooting that may have targeted a Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois, in the United States.

In a post on X, Sadhguru said that when a young person is filled with so much hate that he plans to kill people he considers different, it reflects a failure to nurture the next generation.

When a young life becomes so poisoned by hate that he plans to kill those he sees as different, it reflects our failure in nurturing the next generation. It is most important that we cultivate a sense of inclusion and work toward raising human consciousness. Our deep gratitude to those who acted promptly to prevent the Aurora attack. – Sg
