Sadhguru discusses the contributions of Agastya Muni and Adiyogi, explaining the present need to invest towards raising human consciousness, as we are empowered today like never before to make the world either horrible or wonderful.

The human body, as well as the entire cosmos, is essentially made of just five elements, says Sadhguru. He explains that every yogic practice finds its roots in Bhuta Shuddhi, the cleansing of these elements. If we succeed at this cleansing, he says, we can move towards Bhuta Siddhi, or mastery of the elements. Editor's Note: Connect with Sadhguru!

When we ask what is the nature of life and death, Sadhguru says, essentially we are wondering “Who am I?” If these questions are genuine and not just for entertainment or solace, then spirituality can provide a path towards a solution. He discusses sanyas and the hormonal “hijack”, explaining that suppression is not a solution, but transcendence is a solution that goes far beyond the problem. Editor's Note: Connect with Sadhguru!

Though many people turn to substances like cannabis for their “high”, the human system, says Sadhguru, is capable of producing bliss-inducing chemicals all on its own. Activating the pineal gland, he says, is a fundamental part of yogic practices, through which one can be "stoned" by his own nature - without side effects.

Don’t try to surrender, says Sadhguru, as it is only out of a certain realization that surrender happens.

Though we often hear advice to “believe in yourself,” Sadhguru explains that by strengthening our personalities, we also cause our energies to become more rigid. This in turn hampers our possibility to transcend into higher dimensions of life.

A seeker wonders about the line between being trustful and being naïve - how to know if one is just being taken for a ride?

Though tradition tells us that, should we find ourselves in the presence of a higher being, it is wise to ask for our heart’s desires without hesitation, Sadhguru cautions us that receiving a gift for which one is not evolved enough to receive will only bring trouble for both giver and receiver.

Sadhguru speaks about compassion being the highest virtue, and how one can be truly compassionate only when they have gone beyond all identifications of thought, opinion and emotion. When you are not identified with anything you will be absolutely virtuous.When you are not identified with anything, only then you are truly capable of compassion. When you are identified you can only be biased. When you are compassionate you are always virtuous.People being sympathetic to certain causes or certain people is not compassion. When you are passionate about everything, when your passion has become all encompassing, then you are compassionate. Compassion is not little pity or sympathy for something. When your passion encompasses everything, you are compassionate.Compassion is the highest virtue in a way and compassion is not possible if you are identified with this or that. Only when you are able to just look at life as life, only then you can be compassionate. If you look at it as my life or your life – no compassion. When life is just life, there is compassion.Virtue is for all human beings and compassion is always the highest virtue. Compassion means including everything in your passion. When the whole existence is involved in your passion, you are compassionate.Conscious Planet: https://www.consciousplanet.org Sadhguru App (Download): http://onelink.to/sadhguru__app Official Sadhguru Website: http://isha.sadhguru.org Sadhguru Exclusive: https://isha.sadhguru.org/in/en/sadhguru-exclusive See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As each human being is fundamentally comprised of body, mind, emotion and energy, accordingly there are four basic paths of yoga which address these aspects. Finding out which combination of these four paths is right for you is an important role of a Guru in one's life. For more on Sadhguru visit Isha Foundation or our Blog.
