Sadhguru's Podcast

What separates humans from other animals, Sadhguru explains, is that we can be whichever way we choose. However, today, most people are suffering this freedom.

Though many people turn to substances like cannabis for their “high”, the human system, says Sadhguru, is capable of producing bliss-inducing chemicals all on its own. Activating the pineal gland, he says, is a fundamental part of yogic practices, through which one can be "stoned" by his own nature - without side effects.

Which is more important for a spiritual seeker, effort or grace? Sadhguru explains that, like baking bread, a combination of doing things and allowing things to happen is needed. The sadhana offered as Isha Yoga, he says, is a phenomenal tool to keep one’s system open to new possibilities.

Don’t try to surrender, says Sadhguru, as it is only out of a certain realization that surrender happens. Going beyond striving for confidence and self-worth, when a person transcends his longing for self-preservation, then there is a possibility of surrender.

For one who is seeking peace and blissfulness, Sadhguru explains, when you are able to take charge and determine the nature of your experience, you will naturally create pleasantness for yourself and others. He explains that Grace is like a lubricant for life to happen smoothly.  For more Sadhguru's insights, follow him on twitter and facebook.

Though nearly every individual has the necessary brain power to conduct their life, why does one sparkle with genius while another suffers from stress and anxiety? Sadhguru explains that the most important aspect is balance. Only when balance comes, then anything can be built. To bring this balance, he says, you must understand that your life and the experience of your life are entirely your making. For more Sadhguru's insights, follow him on twitter and facebook.

Sadhguru speaks about how spirituality is a natural process for anyone, as long as they use their mind as a tool of perception rather than a means to become identified with different aspects of life.

Using the example of a mango tree, Sadhguru explains the nature of the spiritual process and the ultimate flowering of a human being, which is known as enlightenment.

The body, says Sadhguru, knows only two things – survival and procreation. While there is nothing wrong with the way of the body, it is limited – it is not the ultimate. He explains that if you try to make the limited into the unlimited, suffering is inevitable.

Sadhguru expounds on the various traps one gets into when using only the intellect to perceive life. He narrates a story from the life of Aristotle which reminds us that our thoughts, logic and intellect are not enough to know life in its immensity.

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. For more Sadhguru's insights, follow him on twitter and facebook.

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.

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. For more Sadhguru's insights, follow him on twitter and facebook.

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. For more Sadhguru's insights, follow him on twitter and facebook.

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. Wonder does not come from innocence, Sadhguru explains, but from paying substantial attention and realizing the nature of the existence.

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. For more Sadhguru's insights, follow him on twitter and facebook.

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?

While today’s education may be broadening the scope of information we know, in terms of our perception and inclusiveness, we are becoming very narrow. Sadhguru explains that the way in which education is offered has created societies of exclusive individuals with unbelievable wants. For more Sadhguru's insights, follow him on twitter and facebook.
