Intro

Dr. K sits down with Sadhguru for a rare meeting between science and spirituality to explore the roots of the modern mental-health crisis. Together they discuss how rapid sociological change, poor nutrition, and disconnection from nature are weakening our “human software,” and why inner engineering like learning to manage our chemistry and consciousness may be the antidote.

Sadhguru challenges the Western split between “mind” and “body,” explaining how thought, emotion, and physiology form one system. He argues that most psychological suffering stems from compulsiveness, not illness—when the mind runs without conscious control. Dr. K probes how that idea fits clinical psychiatry, sparking a thoughtful exchange on chemistry, choice, and the limits of scientific frameworks.

They move from philosophy into practice: what it means to take charge of your inner experience, how attachment and ego (“ahankara”) shape identity, and why love, relationships, and even stress are reflections of how well we manage our internal state. The episode closes with reflections on modern dating, dopamine vs oxytocin, and practical tools for returning to conscious, intentional living.

Topics include:

• Why society’s pace and environment are breaking our mental “software”
• The chemical basis of emotion, and learning to manage your inner factory
• Consciousness vs compulsiveness: the true axis of mental health
• The body as mind - why nutrition, breath, and movement matter
• Ahankara (ego) and the illusion of self-identity
• Suffering, stress, and the art of engineering your interiority
• Dr. K’s reflections on dopamine addiction, relationships, and meaning
• This conversation bridges psychiatry and yogic science, offering both insight and practical philosophy for anyone seeking peace in an overstimulated world.
