Summary
Who are we? Where are we? What do we want? What can we do?
In one of my favorite podcast experiences of all time, I ask the spiritual guru Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar these foundational questions. I should mention that I’ve been around my share of ‘gurus’ and to be honest, have been disappointed on many of these occasions. But not this time! I’ve always said you can tell a spiritual master by the sound of their laughter, and Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar passed that litmus test with flying colors. His answers to my questions are stunning in their elegant simplicity, but it wasn’t only Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s answers that were extraordinary, it was also the energy with which he delivered them.

| 0:00.0 | I met a lot of spiritual teachers in my life, and there have been very few who have impressed |
| 0:04.8 | me as much as Guru Dev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. |
| 0:08.6 | Now, the idea of the Guru is something that seems to be an idea of the past. |
| 0:15.0 | It seems to be that the ideas are more important than the person who is conveying the ideas, |
| 0:21.5 | but there's also something very special about a person who is conveying the ideas from |
| 0:28.0 | a no-sus from a place of truth within their heart where it's not just the words they are |
| 0:33.4 | expressing, but it's the energy behind the words that make them really land, and this |
| 0:39.2 | podcast is a perfect example of that. |
| 0:42.3 | I ask him the four basic questions to humanity, and his answers are profound in their elegance |
| 0:50.5 | and their simplicity and the energy with which he delivers them. |
| 0:54.4 | I can't wait to share this podcast with legit Guru Dev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. |
| 1:02.6 | Before we get started a word from our sponsor, first up we have True Kava. |
| 1:06.4 | Now the first time I ever had Kava was a trip I took to Fiji, and I was out on the |
| 1:11.4 | beach in Fiji and a Fiji in man. |
| 1:14.0 | He mixed up something in a bowl that looked like dirty water, and he was saying Kava, |
| 1:19.6 | and he gave it to me, and a little coconut of a cup, and I drank it, and I wasn't expecting |
| 1:25.7 | much, but what I felt was amazing. |
| 1:28.2 | I felt this calm, kind of euphoric relaxation, and I got it. |
| 1:33.6 | I understood why this was the traditional drink of Fiji and why this was involved in ceremonial |
| 1:39.5 | use, and also just for enjoyment. |
| 1:42.1 | It feels really good. |
| 1:44.0 | It's one of those herbs that you don't have to guess whether you took it or not. |
