    I love this. Thank you. Its not the story of someone becoming a billionaire, its not the story of some guy becoming a motivational speaker. Nobody is wearing trendy hats (😜) nobody is selling anything. This is a normal human sharing his beautiful journey. Its inspiring and it is filled with pearls of wisdom.
  • You can feel that this guy is very calm and has a relaxed energy. Also looks very healthy. I hope to reach this state one day.

    For those who made it to the last 2 minutes of the video, third eye practice will make things seem very serious which is primarily what Sadhguru teaches publicly. Sadhguru teaches third eye energizing practices in general which are very beneficial for us western people who are overly emotional. But the catch 22 with third eye energizing practices is that emotions will be de-energized which entails the “seriousness” that this video ended on & my comment began with. So energizing one’s own emotions as opposed to one’s third eye is the remedy to being overly serious & un-emotional. Emotions help one enjoy life, whereas the third eye helps one see extremely clear. Thus, our conscious discretion is required as to when we should employ one or the other as we see fit. Failing to consciously employ one or the other as we see fit not only disregards sadhguru but also disrespects ourselves

    Great interview. Sadguru came into my life 6yrs ago. I have never been in his physical presence but he is my Guru. He is no joke. He is formidable. Quite the task master and he can really push you hard, harder than you want, if you want to go all the way. The spiritual path gets harder the further you go, but the alternative is too painful for me. I have tried everything before I met him and feel very blessed that we have someone like him alive today.
  • Anyone else sense a strong Sadguru energy emanating from Joshua? Some moments felt like it was Sadhguru staring at me. 😮

    Spent time with Sadhguru for 14 years!! That’s what caught my attention. Thanks for sharing your experiences. It was very good listening to your podcast.
  • Great video. Right in the city where Sadhguru lives there is another mystic less known living like a commoner with whom my quest for spiritual knowledge ended - the real deal. He liberated me. He has no ashrams no followers works for his living just like me and you lives with his family and nothing exceptional about him but the moment you shoot questions and the answers he gives you will be sure they are not read or borrowed from reading but coming from a much deeper place. You should get him on your channel and let the world meet and listen to him. He doesn't charge a penny and infact is a great host to some wonderful Indian food at his home, when you meet him😊
  • Devotion its about you and you become so sweet!!! Gratitude is so powerful practice it...every single cell of your body will vibrate!!! Thank you Josh for coming out and sharing! I stay away from the ashram because of the seriousness of people! With my stability within and seeing so serious people doesn't jive!

    This only made Sadhguru look even more formidable than I thought, because even being involved in all these problems and mistakes that could have been avoided he's still blissed out, and Im over here getting mad when not even involved, that is really really formidable.
  • NAMASKARAM 🙏🏾 l went to India last year for 5 months and took IE, BSP and Soonya. I volunteered for 2 different groups of Samayama and Marzali sadana. Master of yoga and maha sivarathiri. No words to describe my experience. NAMASKARAM 🙏🏾
  • Kailash experience pleeeeeease. This guy is direct, clear mind, very generous and great speech. We want every bit of his experiences to inspire us. Thanks Stefan for your support to the practitioners throught your videos. Namaskaram.
  • Thank you Stefan for this wonderful podcast. Will definitely like to see and hear more from Joshua. You really asked the right questions, did not interrupt and let him finish his talk. Most of the time I see interviewers interrupting the guest when they're speaking and that just breaks the flow. Thank you🙏
  • I really liked the part where Joshua and Stevan discuss that..when we are committed to the family and also committed to the sadhana..We need to manage both.❤
  • Please bring him back I would love to hear more about his experiences with Sadhguru 💛🙏💜🕊💕

    Absolutely amazing! "You cant forget your humanity when chasing divinity" Love it! Josh has been my inspiration and close friend over a decade, I'm so glad that his story is being told. His words have always had the power to help me through my tough journey. Cant wait for more!
  • @moehead8257
    broo this is the best thing I could ever ask for, tysm to that guy
  • @sihamknajm
    " You can't forget your humanity in chasing Divinity."🙏
  • "Humanity over Divinity" is one of the amazing podcasts worth listening to.
  • You can’t get on the spiritual path, if you don’t have questions about this existence! I am so blessed that I have done the programs at Isha🙏 thank you Sadhguru🙏🙏
