This video finds Sadhguru sitting down for an interview with media and health entrepreneur Tom Bilyeu for an episode of his popular YouTube show, Impact Theory. While Impact Theory generally focuses on entrepreneurs, other business professionals, motivational speakers, and similar types of guests, it’s evident from the start that Bilyeu has been impacted by Sadhguru’s work and is eager to share it with his audience. In this context, a conversation unfolds that demonstrates the applicability of spiritual wisdom even within secular contexts and even with audiences who may not even think of themselves as spiritually minded.
Drawing frequently from Sadhguru’s bestselling book Inner Engineering: A Yogi’s Guide to Joy, Bilyeu probes into key ideas about human potential, happiness, suffering, and numerous topics. For instance, early in the conversation, Sadhguru explains the nature of human compulsion and why we should neither fear nor simply succumb to it. He also discusses the two human faculties most commonly connected with human suffering, and to illustrate the distinction between pain and suffering, he briefly touches on a wince-inducing story about a motorcycle injury being sewn up without anesthesia.
For a little fun, see if you can answer these questions after watching the video: When are children like race horses? What are the advantages and disadvantages of tying your boat to the dock before you start rowing? Does joy lead to growth or does growth lead to joy? And finally, for all the points, what is the one thing that Sadhguru really wants people to understand (Tom asks him this question quite directly)?
