Summary

While playing a game might bring you joy for a while, Sadhguru asks, what if you were trapped in a game you couldn’t stop playing? This scenario reflects the many ways in which we trap ourselves in our own psychological drama of thoughts and emotions. This drama, says Sadhguru, is like a cloud blocking the sun – it prevents us from experiencing life the way it is.

An arresting blend of profundity and pragmatism, his life and work serves as a reminder that yoga is a contemporary science, vitally relevant to our times.

It needs some background, it is a fact that we have the most evolved neural

0:29.9

system compared to a worm, insect, bird, animal, anybody, anybody. But we also have a

0:39.5

psychological process. Whatever your psychological process, your thought and

0:45.7

emotion is only happening because of a certain amount of information that you

0:51.5

gathered, isn't it? Oh, you think she's a wonderful person, so certain kind of

0:55.9

thought. Oh, you think she's not nice, another kind of thought. Oh, you think this

0:59.6

is somebody else. With all this information, whatever you have gathered with

1:04.1

the right or wrong, it doesn't matter. The type of information you've gathered

1:07.5

determines the type of thought and type of emotion that you have, isn't it? This is

1:13.8

one thing if you teach human beings to understand your psychological process is

1:21.0

entirely your drama. It's got nothing to do with reality, is it so? Your

1:27.8

psychological drama has nothing to do with the reality here. Hundred people can

1:33.5

be sitting here and everybody in their own psychological space and they're in

1:38.6

hundred different worlds, they're not in this world. So I have an empty head,

1:45.9

nothing. So I'm in this world. So because I'm only in this world, I'm paying

1:52.0

attention to everything. I have nothing going in my head. If I sit in one

1:57.7

place, you know, once in a way, when I take a break for five days, if I close

2:02.8

myself up, I don't have a single thought in my mind. I don't read, I don't watch

2:08.8

television, I don't write, I don't do anything, I don't even look out of the

2:11.8

window. Not a single thought in my mind. Because psychological process is just a
