Eddie Hearn gets philosophical on his Instagram account. The British boxing promoter makes headlines quite frequently in the boxing world. However, Hearn is not in the news solely for boxing-oriented affairs. In a recent Instagram story, Hearn shared the profound thought process of an Indian mystic, Sadhguru.

Sadhguru, 65, is a globally recognized figure. In addition, the Indian mystic heads ‘The Isha Foundation’s trust that carries out educational and spiritual activities. Hearn was swayed away by the perspective of Sadhguru on life, beyond gains and loss. He could not help himself but re-post the clip for his fans to see.

Eddie Hearn is a successful, confident and well-known figure. However, a recent message from Sadhguru provoked him to share his Instagram story with his 1.3 million fans. In the video, Sadhguru advances an analogy to claim that an individual is born without any promises. The experience of life is itself a blessing and one should not get caught in the highs and lows that one deals with.

He states, “There is nothing to lose and nothing to gain life in this life. You came with nothing. Whatever the h*ll is happening you are on the profit side, Did you come with an investment? You came with nothing.”

In addition, he stresses on the fact that regardless of one’s achievements, an individual will not take possessions with himself after passing away. He adds, “They don’t allow you to take a container in the end, so all you have is how profound, intense and beautiful is your experience.” 

It is safe to say that Hearn agreed with his line of thought and was quite moved by the wise man’s words. It helped him in coping with a vice that he has been grappling with.
