Sadhguru delves into the deepest questions of existence—death, the afterlife, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. The conversation begins by exploring how our fear of death often robs us of truly living, and how our identification with thoughts can lead to unnecessary suffering. Sadhguru guides listeners on the pathway to becoming more conscious, challenging us to consider whether we are truly the drivers of our own lives. He discusses the ways we accumulate energy that doesn’t serve us and addresses the problem of a cluttered mind. As the dialogue unfolds, Sadhguru encourages us to face the fragility of time, contemplate the mysteries of the afterlife, and find meaning in both living and dying. Andrés Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________0:00 Intro3:52 Our Fear of Death Robs us Of Life16:04 Identification with Thoughts Lead to Suffering27:30 The Pathway to Becoming Conscious36:46 Are You The Driver of Your Life?46:05 How We Accumulate Energy That’s Not Serving Us52:59 The Problem of the Cluttered Mind57:43 Facing the Fragility of Time1:09:35 The Afterlife & Finding Meaning1:17:55 Mahasamadhi: Living & Dying How You Choose1:24:29 Creating Impact While Preserving Inner Peace1:30:07 Importance of Humor1:36:13 Embracing Life’s Inherent Unknowns 1:47:00 The Death Process & Breaking Free from Ancestral Conditioning2:01:04 Mental Health & Miracle of Mind2:05:53 Conclusion___________Episode Resources: https://isha.sadhguru.org/us/enNew Book: https://a.co/d/421IJEUApp: https://Isha.us/miracleYThttps://www.instagram.com/sadhguru/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.comListen to the show:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4bZMq9lApple: https://apple.co/4iATICX
