Right there. That's good. Like a fist from your face is what I usually tell people.

Well, I'm enjoying your book.

Sadhguru (0:22)

Which one are you reading?

Joe Rogan (0:23)

I'm in the middle of Inner Engineering.

Sadhguru (0:26)

Oh, okay.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

Why is that funny? Is that a funny one?

Sadhguru (0:30)

No, that was the… I mean, after the three books have come, so I was thinking you must have gotten a more recent one.

Joe Rogan (0:36)

Well, I found some of your stuff online and I started watching some of your videos online and they're very interesting and very educational.

And then I said, all right, let me find out what this guy's all about. And so I got into that book.

Sadhguru (0:48)

That's good.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

How did you find out about me? Because your people reached out to be on here.

Sadhguru (0:54)

Well, right now we are on this soil mission. I brought you a little bit of gift. This is an Indian mint. This leaf, an empty stomach, if you just chew two leaves, they're not very pleasant to eat. And then drink some maybe tepid water.

It is a great blood purifier.

Joe Rogan (1:13)

Blood purifier?

Sadhguru (1:14)

Yes.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

Oh, how's it purify your blood? How's that work?

Sadhguru (1:18)

It has the necessary juices in it to do that.

Joe Rogan (1:21)

The necessary juices, save soil.

I always wondered about these things, about pots that plants come in. Do you think plants like that?

Sadhguru (1:33)

Definitely not. They would like to grow wild. This is just a baby. It's in a nursery. You have to take it home and put it in your backyard.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

Okay, that's what I'm here.

Sadhguru (1:42)

Or a much bigger pot.

Joe Rogan (1:44)

Because once I started learning about mycology and how…

Sadhguru (1:47)

This is not where it would like to grow. This is just a baby.

Joe Rogan (1:50)

Just a baby.

Even a big pot, they don't really like that, right? They would like to be in the ground.

Sadhguru (1:55)

These can… Ground is best, there's no question, because there is a ecosystem which has to connect with it. There's nothing like the ground.

But because in Texas or in Austin, it could get too cold for her.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

Oh.

Sadhguru (2:10)

So she may not survive in your garden, then you have to bring her in.

Joe Rogan (2:13)

I don't want her to die.

Sadhguru (2:15)

So, wintertime, maybe you will have to bring it in.

Joe Rogan (2:19)

So, maybe I can pot it outside during the spring and then put it inside.

Sadhguru (2:26)

Winter, you have to bring her in.

Joe Rogan (2:29)

All right. We'll work it out.

Sadhguru (2:30)

Because she's Indian, you know.

Joe Rogan (2:31)

She's Indian. Yeah, I know.

Sadhguru (2:33)

I mean, real Indian, not Native American.

Joe Rogan (2:36)

Right. They have a lot of Indian animals in Texas, believe it or not.

Sadhguru (2:41)

Really?

Joe Rogan (2:41)

Yeah, Axis deer. It's a very common animal out here.

Sadhguru (2:46)

Really?

Joe Rogan (2:47)

Yeah, they imported them here. I don't know when, but they're all over the place. I saw one like six months ago on the side of the road. Yeah.

So some things from India survived. But a lot of them died off. Last year, we had a very big freeze that lasted for a couple of weeks and a lot of exotic animals from other countries that people brought in.

Sadhguru (3:10)

Unless they're from northern part of India, well, it's in the Himalayan region, they may survive. But South Indian animals like me won't make it in winter.

Joe Rogan (3:21)

So you're on this grand tour right now, you were saying. You just got back from… You were in New York, right?

Sadhguru (3:27)

Yes, I was in… I just came from India two days ago.

Then I was in New York, Tennessee, New York and here and today, this night I'm leaving for Caribbean because we are making… signing some memorandum of understanding with the CARICOM nations for the soil… safe soil movement.

So they're all coming on board. We have made a policy document specific for each country depending on their latitude, soil types, economic conditions and agricultural traditions of an individual nation. Based on this hundred-and-ninety-two nations, we've made soil policies.

Joe Rogan (4:04)

So this is something that you're very concerned about and rightly so that there's a problem with the topsoil in America, in particular, that we've been aware of for a long time. There's only like…
