#315 Sadhguru - Stop Letting Your Mind DESTROY You

**Shawn Ryan** (0:00)
Hi Diva, it's Rachel.

**Sadhguru** (0:01)
And Jordan, yeah, hi.

**Shawn Ryan** (0:02)
Quick question. Why are you not spending your Venmo balance?

**Sadhguru** (0:05)
Yeah, we're concerned.

**Shawn Ryan** (0:06)
You can like buy stuff with it. Ugh, you love buying stuff. And earn cash back on eligible purchases. You love purchasing eligible things. So the money your friend sent you yesterday, that's today's ramen, or ride share, or eye patches. The skincare kind, not the pyro kind. Spend with Venmo, and you can earn cash back with Venmo Stash. Venmo Stash bundle terms and exclusions apply.

**Sadhguru** (0:25)
Max $100 cash back per month.

**Shawn Ryan** (0:26)
See terms at venmo.me slash stash terms. See verification required to use a Venmo Balance.

Saad Guru.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:06)
Namaskaram. Good morning to you, Saad.

**Sadhguru** (1:09)
Morning. Welcome to the show.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:12)
Thank you very much.

**Sadhguru** (1:13)
I've been really looking forward to this one. We actually tried to get you two or three years ago.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:17)
Oh, really?

**Sadhguru** (1:18)
And so it took a minute, but I just wanna say I'm honored to have you here. I'm very thankful that you're here.
And I'm very excited to talk to you about a slew of different things. So, you seem like a person that has mastered being in the moment.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:40)
What does it mean? Let me address this properly. See, what is being in the moment? I know in America, this has gone on like this.
Everybody is talking about being in the moment. But one moment, Shawn, be somewhere else and show me.

**Sadhguru** (2:02)
I mean, be present, be present with what's going on around.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:06)
No, no, be somewhere else and show me, no? Is it possible?

**Sadhguru** (2:11)
It is.
Not in my mind. In my mind, it's possible to be somewhere else.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:18)
See, if you sit here and think of New York, you're thinking of New York, you're not there, right?

**Sadhguru** (2:26)
Correct.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:26)
If you think of yesterday or a tomorrow, you're only thinking about it. So essentially, when people say, be in the moment, they're telling you, do not think about the past, do not think about the future. If you do not think about the past and future, you will be a dodo, yes or no?

**Sadhguru** (2:47)
Yes.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:47)
It took millions of years to develop this brain to this level of capacity from a single-celled animal to here. And now they're telling you, don't think about the past, don't think about the future, because they don't know how to handle the damn thing.
These kind of philosophies will destroy humanity.
You are anyway in the moment. Why should I tell you, be in the moment? I'm telling you, think of a thousand things. What is the problem? The more you wish to do in this world, the more you have to think, isn't it?

**Sadhguru** (3:23)
Correct.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:25)
So, don't think about anything except what is here. It's a silly way to live. I have at least twelve to fourteen tracks in my mind, all the time running.
Otherwise, how do you do everything?

**Sadhguru** (3:36)
How do you balance that?

**SPEAKER_3** (3:39)
Why are you off balance, I'm asking?
You ask a child, a toddler, look, this is walking because he's yet to know how to balance on two legs. Do I ask you, how are you… Shawn, you came walking down the stairs, how are you balancing? You will think I'm stupid or no?
So, I'm saying, when it comes to the use of the mind, unfortunately our education systems have left humanity largely crippled. They never taught you how to use this, they taught you how to use every other gadget in the world. Except this, this is the most sophisticated technology, human mechanism, isn't it? It is. And human mechanism is not just body, it's a combination of body, mind, energy, emotion, everything together. Only when you handle all these things well, in some way you can do something significant and you also be well. Otherwise, if you do something significant, you are broken. Otherwise, you do nothing, you dope and sit in the corner. Is that the way human being should live?
