What are your opinions of some of these mystics/philosophers/gurus like sadguru, osho, J krishnamurti. Lots of people around me are quite impressed with them. In my opinion some of their talks makes sense and can be useful but most of them sounds like mind games and people are getting interested and curious about them.
Don’t know about others, but I don’t have good opinion on Sadguru. Watch video about him on “science is dope” YouTube channel.

Low life scums. most of them. Of the ones you mentioned the first two belong to that category. No idea who the third one is.

I was about to write this.
J Krishnamurti I personally have read a lot of and love his videos on YT. I think he makes a lot of sense.
It's true also for Osho and Sadhguru. I think all of them say philosophical things that are really nice.
Just not becoming a crazy follower is the main goal.
In many words, I have said what @Gigabyte anyway said :)

None of them actually know much. They constantly misrepresent facts and use vague mystical thoughts to instruct people on how to live. They know neither science or philosophy but make it seem like they're combining both to give us all new insights. People who think they are being 'philosophical' haven't actually read any philosophy. Philosophy requires vigorous doubt and questioning of claims, as does science. They don't allow any of that.
Philosophy & mysticism is either for rich people looking for something exotic or for poor people looking for salvation.
For the regular Joe it's just a bunch of bullshit. Any success or progress is made with blood & sweat.
If listening to these scammers keeps your mind at peace and gives you hope then be my guest and keep watching them.
