From Personality to Presence Aug 21, 2017

Show notes

Though we often hear advice to “believe in yourself,” Sadhguru explains that by strengthening our personalities, we also cause our energies to become more rigid. This in turn hampers our possibility to transcend into higher dimensions of life. Spirituality, he says, allows one to become malleable by dissolving the personality and enhancing the presence of life within.

Are You Being Taken for a Ride? Aug 13, 2017

Show notes

A seeker wonders about the line between being trustful and being naïve - how to know if one is just being taken for a ride? The guru is constantly taking his disciples or devotees for a ride, Sadhguru explains, because if you really tell them what they are supposed to swallow, they will just say this is impossible and run away.

Getting What You’re Not Ready For Only Brings Trouble Aug 06, 2017

Show notes

Though tradition tells us that, should we find ourselves in the presence of a higher being, it is wise to ask for our heart’s desires without hesitation, Sadhguru cautions us that receiving a gift for which one is not evolved enough to receive will only bring trouble for both giver and receiver. If you give a ton of gold to an ant, he explains, it will not make him rich – it will crush him.

Crossing the Wall Jul 30, 2017

Show notes

While achieving external pleasantness requires a certain capability and cooperation from others, Sadhguru says, when it comes to inner experience, nobody can be denied. While everyone is capable of touching joy, bliss, and ecstasy, sustaining the same requires building the necessary foundation.

The Wonder of a Child Jul 23, 2017

Show notes

Sadhguru and award-winning actor Anupam Kher discuss the sense of wonder that used to be synonymous with childhood, and how this is fast disappearing in today’s youngsters.

Admitting “I Don’t Know” Jul 16, 2017

Show notes

During this conversation, actor Anupam Kher asks Sadhguru, “Do you believe in God?” One believes something, explains Sadhguru, because they are not sincere enough to admit that they do not know. It is time, he says, that we establish a certain level of seeking in a human being rather than just pumping him up with belief.

Handling Needs and Expectations in Relationships Jul 09, 2017

Show notes

Exploring the fundamentals of human relationships, Sadhguru explains that most people form relationships to fulfill a need. If expectations and needs in a relationship are not fulfilled, then the relationship will sour. But why does an individual feel unfilled when each piece of life is complete by itself?
