That Deepak Chopra is a well-read man is evident in the way he explains things. His words are more informational than experiential. This is not a bad thing. But Sadhguru is purely experiential in his narration. You can clearly tell that Sadhguru has read very little in his life. Yet he speaks so endearingly and with so much clarity that he completely convinces you that experiencing life is way more magical and phenomenal than reading theories about it. It is experience and intuition that leads to a higher (perhaps the highest) level of consciousness and realization. Books can just open the doorways of realization. But a true mystic can just walk through closed doors right into the blessed room. Mystics are a different breed altogether. They don't have an erudite approach to life and existence. Sadhguru has read almost nothing in life, yet if today he sits to write a book, he will write magical stuff that will totally transform one's outlook of life and existence. Sadhguru himself is like a walking and talking book of ancient wisdom. Seeing and hearing Sadhguru is like getting a glimpse of how Rumi might have lived and spoken in his lifetime.

There was a book published in 1910 by a man named Wallace D Wattles called The Science of Getting Rich. In this book the author make several references to what he calls 'the formless substance' I find it intriguing that the more I learn about 'self' the more the messages are the same, no matter what the nationality or origin of the thought process is, the main message is still the same, and the message is awareness

What Sadhguru said about the ammunition! Blew me away! Straight to the heart. "If u dont invest in conflict, we dont need ur compassion." Yes!

[FrancescoMarelli]

Fabulous Sadhguru, as always. Never-ending source of inspiration...

[Deutschtown]

Sadhguru lives in my truth. I am thankful for his confirmation of who I AM.

. There is no discovery  only  realisation  ! This video has to  be  viewed over and over until we  get it !. Thank  you for sharing .

[marilynmesange]

Thinking is the recycling of the data we have gathered! Wow!

[ooohlaa]

remarkable masters with a very good coordinator/interviewer ... love how they weave together science and beings.
Well worth the watch.

[marilynmesange]

Sadhguru is so inspiring with the simplicity of his teaching

[aruiztech]

What a gift this is! The expression "life changing" is sometimes casually thrown around. This can be life changing if your open to it. Thank you for this.

[abhangura]

It was a treat for the soul. Knowledge versus realization!!!! Thought versus no thought....

[fuldagermany]

Love to listen to both of these men ... I always learn much from the experience

[isabelteresaaponte]

Great conversation. I need to listen to it several times. And I concluded We are not going to be able to know everything but if we know what we have which is ourselves, We will love and have compassion for everything that lives in this planet. That is why I think Yoga will save the world or at least will gives us the tool of understanding each other and live in peace.

[sudhirraj]

Great to see both blissful souls comes together on stage and they both telling the same thing on their own capacities..

[manishachak]

Great discussion. Gratitude to Sadhguru for teaching me meditation.

[Nadd]

These two are great Its great to see them together

[thaskoobz]

Wow! I'm not sure people actually get what just happened here and reading the comments, definitely some don't. That was phenomenal. Quite clinical & masterful and was captivating to watch. I won't say more than that as it could offend as well as unravel the work that was done...

[Lizuthman]

Dear Guru and Dr Chopra, thank you so much for sharing the video. it is such an eye opener. Had to listen at least 3 times to understand. the thirst to have the experience of the of limitless life just kindled further... I am so thankful and blessed to have found a Guru in this life time.

[megajen]

They are both wonderful! I agree with Sadhguru ( in many aspects) with his answer about Merkel - eradicate those who feed the conflict. Only this way one can put an end to this crisis and refugees could be back home, their homeland..

[girishgopinath]

It is an amazing show having two awesome personalities together...!
