Summary

Sadhguru narrates a story of poet-saint Kabir and King Ibraheem of Bukhara in present-day Iran and Iraq. He explains how Kabir made the king recognize that, despite his deep longing to have a taste of the beyond, his mental clutter had become a hindrance in his spiritual growth. Sadhguru reminds us that just as Kabir transformed the king’s perspective and, in turn, his life, one can transform one’s filth into manure for one’s inner growth. Set the context for a joyful, exuberant day with a short, powerful message from Sadhguru. Explore a range of subjects with Sadhguru, discover how every aspect of life can be a stepping stone, and learn to make the most of the potential that a human being embodies.
