Know Thyself E1 - Sadhguru Solves Life’s Most Challenging Questions
Sadhguru's Enlightenment
- At 25, Sadhguru had a transformative experience on Chamundi Hill.
- He felt overwhelming ecstasy and a flood of memories, leading him to question reality.
True Transformation
- True transformation is not about improving but changing your form.
- Decorations and improvements are societal games, not true inner work.
Control Your Inner World
- Separate life (internal) from external situations (society, economy).
- Focus on controlling your internal experience, not the external world.
Sadhguru is a mystic, yogi, visionary & NY Times best-selling author. He started one of the largest volunteer run non-profit organizations in the world called The Isha Foundation. Sadhguru's teachings have drastically improved my life for the better and I wish for his wisdom to impact the lives of as many people as possible.
I find that his explanations on various life’s topics are not only refreshing but revealing. You can feel the resonance of his words to be describing reality the way it is - not just by his opinion or belief.
What does true liberation and self-realization feel like? How do we escape the cycle of Samsara & realize our true nature - therefore ending suffering?
We discuss these topics and more:
- How to gain true clarity in life
- What is real self-transformation
- How your beliefs keep you blind
- Where to begin on the spiritual path
- Various meditation practices
- Psychedelics - do they help or hinder?
- The privilege of voting
- The impact of pornography
