A
meme of Indian Spiritual leader Sadhguru has gone viral on the social networking site X after being circulated by the official social media account of Israel. The viral post talks about humorous banter regarding “secret of eternal happiness” and caught people’s attention due to the unusual combination of spirituality, humor, and official government account on social media.
In the meme, a person is questioning Sadhguru regarding the secret of eternal happiness. Sadhguru answers him with the saying that one should never argue with fools. When the person disputes him about his point, Sadhguru answers him that he is correct in his saying.
The aforementioned funny meme was posted by official Israeli X account that is run by Israel’s Foreign Ministry. There was even a folding hands emoji in the post. The official Israeli X handle did not mention much regarding the context behind the post.
The post was rather funny than political and conveyed an important lesson of life, sometimes by not indulging in unnecessary arguments we can stay peaceful in our minds.
Sadhguru is well-known worldwide for his many statements about happiness, wellbeing, and the workings of the human mind. Material relating to these subjects is consistently uploaded by his organizations.
The meme is an illustration of how such a message from Sadhguru might get away from spiritual conversation and become popular among common memes.
In addition to its meme status, another reason for the virality was the fact that the meme was posted by the government of an official entity which primarily posts content related to politics and other such matters, thus, making this kind of post even more unusual and surprising.
Everyone has had an argument when continuing to discuss it brings nothing good except increased irritation.
Its popularity also shows how social media has changed the way governments communicate with audiences. Official accounts increasingly use informal language, visual content and humour to make their posts more relatable.
In spite of the fact that the meme is used to create jokes, the idea it gives out to its recipients is very clear – every argument does not have to be taken for a debate; sometimes it would be wiser to just choose not to answer.
It should also be mentioned that the choice of the image is in some way in line with the general theme of Sadhguru which concerns happiness and the general wellbeing.
