If You Want to Transform Yourself, This is THE TIME to Do it!

When I spoke to Indian yoga guru and author, Sadhguru, he spoke about societal responsibility and the importance of awakening during a time of crisis. What do you think?!

A very wise man and his answers are very profound - each viewer will receive his answer at the level they can understand. I think the truth is we haven't accepted how powerful we are. As an individual or a collective. We have been fed upon and lied too. From the time we are born boundaries and limits are imposed. It takes most a life time to understand the truth

[@Ljrocks76]

It really makes sense when Sadhguru spoke of the amount of time we are sat with our own intelligence, and before technology where our days were filled with being in accordance with nature. It explains why I personally feel so lost, because there is too many hours in the day where I'm not actually 'being' a 'human being', and am quite stuck as a result. I've felt quite spiritually depleted for a number of years now, and have frequently looked for fulfillment externally, by walking back into, and out of the same bad relationship, only to end up back at square one feeling alone and ultimately stuck as to what I do next, having no work hasn't helped the situation either. I'm having to go through therapy in order to help me rediscover my true identity, because I simply struggle to know myself and what my purpose is in life. All I know is, is that I want to get on with life 'normally' so to speak, and do what nature expects of me, rather than being at odds with it, to be internally better so not to stray back to the path that makes me feel like nothing. At least I can say that i do have an awareness, and I guess that is a good starting point. Just to add that I am most greatful for the guidance I receive from your videos Russell, and i really enjoyed Sadh Gurus truths and spiritual insight here, so thankyou for all you do, it inspires hope for many of us I'm sure.

I wrote to this very question of fear yesterday. Our mind is quick to think of ways we can be judged, then we unfortunately run from the judgement and retreat to silence. In the silence we stop our lives out of fear of what was never said because of something we created that others might judge us for. We can not let ourselves cave to this. We must be free to use our minds to communicate the things we must say.

[@unicornpoop8041]

I agree with everything he said EXCEPT his vision of other animals and humans: not only through scientific studies can we see that other animals experience consciousness and have complex lives that are not based only on instinct and survival, but also by spending time with them, as I do in a sanctuary where goats, pigs, horses, rabbits, sheeps, hens, cows (etc.) live, you can see their incredible resilience and wisdom. They are such amazing teachers, showing us how to really live in the here and now ❤️🙏🏼. I don't see humans as the only beings that experience consciousness, unlike Sadhguru, many studies and ancestral cultures actually show that even plants can experience consciousness. I think all beings on this earth (and beyond) experience it, but in a different way. Ultimately as we're all connected and we're all One, all the different types of consciousness are one.

[@lauriefrancisco1084]

You misunderstood what he said. He was speaking only to our ability to purposely attain to a higher consciousness -- he did not say they are not conscious. In listening to him further, you would learn that a great deal of his time growing up he spent studying other lifeforms (informally), both animate and inanimate, and has a great appreciation and love for them as sentient beings, imbued with their own wisdom. We are ALL one; expressions of the same universal intelligence (my name for "it"). In fact, one of my fav Sadhguru quotes, that IMHO can't be said often enough, is that the universe is "NOT HUMANCENTRIC." I say can't be said often enough because it counters the self-serving Christian (and maybe other religions) belief that we alone are made in God's image and have been granted some sort of dominion over the earth -- interpreted by many to mean we can do with it as we please! An idea with which I vehemently disagree! So I'd caution you not to be so quick to judge based on one brief exposure to a man millions consider --- as do I -- to have attained enlightenment. He can "see" far beyond what most of us can at best imagine. There is no way that you can know what he's about based on a segment of a short interview! Namaste! 💓💓💓

[@alliemott2009]

After going through a spiritual journey over the last year, what I am just starting to realize is that each person's spiritual awakening, practices and being, is entirely individualistic and personalized. When I've felt lulls in my spiritual process, I've found myself frantically trying to take in as much information from the spiritual teachers that I tend to align with, and I become overwhelmed with differing information, with practicing things that simply don't align with me, and it makes me question myself and my process. Literally today I told myself that grasping for the opinion of others is, in and of itself, a resistance to my own path, or at least in a sense that I'm trying to copy people I admire and do everything "by the book" if you will. There are definitely phoneys out there, but if something someone does or says work for you, it inherently can't be BS. I've seen so many people say it and they are absolutely right; "take what resonates, leave what doesn't". If we create our own reality, we create what works for us, right? But that's just my opinion 😉

[@KarinaSkye]

Oh my! This is EXACTLY what I talk about in my book! I go into this “theory” that what we all want is to survive, evolve and thrive. When we feel a bit more stable in the survival side, we start focusing on the other two. We evolve from the challenges (he calls it suffering). The greater the challenges the greater the potential for growth. We all have small personal goals and this desire for achieving keeps us interested on evolving, but the ultimate goal is to thrive in every endeavor and also as species (also the goal of every cell - but cells just intuitively do what they must in order to survive, evolve and thrive). Now you talk about external influences i us and our personal influence in the world… my book is exactly about this: how our existence influences the world. Every action and even just our mood will impact our environment… if we live mindfully, our impact can be huge and support the evolution and progress of humanity. If we live clumsy, reactive, and unaware of the repercussions of our actions, we still are impacting everyone around us. My book talks about how to apply mindfulness into our every day lives so we can live fulfilling lives, understand the nature of the mind, self inflicted suffering and our desires, and how to train our minds to serve our ultimate goal of thriving. I am a kundalini yogi and yoga instructor and mindfulness saved me from self harm. PLEASE, I would LOVE if you could read it… I am “just one” awakening and trying to at least impact just a dozen… perhaps like old school Jesus… but I would LOVE to have someone like you breakdown this philosophy I present in my book!

“The purpose of the student is to surpass the teacher”. Being one who has been from childhood quite critical of self proclaimed gurus or the like, as they can seriously fuck someone up, but so can doctors, therapists, teachers, coaches, parents or anyone else you put your trust into for guidance AND give them your power. I think the theme for most is empowerment and what is true for you, honoring yourself and harmony with others, and unless your totally disconnected from yourself, that’s what human beings want at our core. Regardless, I have found an appreciation of these way seekers (wether I think they are pure or not) as like attracts like (and yes most opposing are usually most similar, if you take away the labels). Bottom line I think it is wonderful it’s out there (and has saved my butt a few times) but each individual needs to honor themselves. As you may like this part of their message but not that, or agree to a point and then another path is more appealing. And Russell, so much gratitude for you, your a fucking genius! Thank you

[@apassagebeyond4403]

I agree with Sadhguru, instead of changing the world, we need to look in the mirror and change ourselves. If we become better individuals, society will become better by default. Of course there will always be certain individuals that have larger reach and abilities that can help a larger mass of people. Of course we can and should be of service to others, but we need to be sure we know and love ourselves in order to truly be effective. But we need to each learn to be our best selves before we can ever even conceive of helping others. Just like on an airplane, you have to put that little mask on yourself before your children or anyone else, because if you don’t you will be useless to anyone if you pass out. Live a life of Krishna/Christ consciousness live a life of love and love will follow. 🕉

Yes, "spirituality" is the answer to all the questions. Simply being aware at any moment to ask the question "does this belief/behavior serve our greater good and/or steer my life in a positive way?"

This is definitely the time to act, in my opinion.

[@Ravenheart_]

Pursue spiritual practices. Whatever else you do each day, pursue meditation, some form of contemplative prayer, and communication with God/Source. That connection is where you get clarity, and guidance. Always talk to God about your problems and ask for help. It's a crucial part of the process. Not enough spiritual people are conveying this to others. It isn't just about meditating for 10 minutes a day. Entering a state of thoughtless stillness is just the beginning of the process. The real aim is opening, and maintaining the connection with God/Source. That is how both the individual and society are transformed. All transformation springs from that divine well.

[@anamkarajoy]

He said so many things that were oddly simplistic sounding, but profoundly meaningful and insightful. I've never heard someone speak quite like he does--especially taking your questions that sound well thought-out and expressed, and replying with "This is what you are asking/saying..." I'd imagine that's somewhat disarming in a conversation, but he also seems to take what feel like deeply complex concepts and make them into seemingly obvious daily observations on a very basic level. It's fascinating; and while he could be considered almost condescending by someone who isn't truly listening, he's got an indescribable type of charm in his self-expression of seeing nearly all world concepts as self-evident. (Also, I can't lie--although I was listening quite sincerely, I burst out laughing at *"Jesus had only 12 people, then also one guy freaked on him, all right?"* 😂 It's accurate enough, but certainly not a phrasing I saw coming.)

Hi! I am a devotee of Sadhguru. His honesty is so generous. It’s delightful to see you engaging in meaningful conversations. Everything Sadhguru utters, I regard as pure wisdom and joy. I wonder what would happen if us humans predominantly and consistently lived in a state of enhanced awareness, grace and devotion. Would consumerism and capitalism collapse? If so, in what kind of environment would we live instead? We can criticise and oppose the unjust system cohabiting us but not even a London homeless person would swap their life with the life of an Indian farmer! So perhaps it’s best to focus on what we all share which matters the most: spirit. To stop identify with our personal individual identity, the body and all material. To use physical codes and information as sacred tools, temples, to unite rather that to fight against. Yoga. I’ll see you in January my friend. Hugs hugs hugs 😅? Sadhguru explains about physical touch and runanubandha. How do you feel about that Russ? Namaste my big little brother.

[@jessicadyer4099]

When he said suffering is at it's highest because most of us are 'taken care of' from a survival pov so we have more time to think, I definitely agree. But then looking at the world today and who's in charge and the fact they have control over basically your whole life is devastating. Our brains are 'too good' really cause we have all this ability but we're in a prison. Then it feels like spirituality would be as much as you can experience in the confines of society.

[@lotuschyldtv9151]

I feel we make these things true an give them meaning through our perception an imagination

[@candice-leeclifton3691]

Everything you said totally resonates with me. I think you have been given an extraordinary gift of expression. I have to say that Sanguru hit the nail on the head. Astonished at his explanation. It just gave me such confirmation on so many different levels. Thx for sharing who you are and I really appreciate your contribution....4.5million people DO ❤

[@rahulghosh7572]

I think the thing he said about wide spaces created through the evolving telecommunication industry in today's world is something that we need to be grateful for as it is something that provides means for wellbeing and growth.

[@piotrsauerbronn]

It’s absolutely fascinating the times we live in. We have never had this level of communication before. We can write here and it be read with in seconds of publishing or it be read tomorrow or in a hundred years. The evolution of knowledge in spoken word, to written, to translated, to availability has never been where it’s at now. We have now unlocked the ability of spoken word in the infinite realms of time. Knowledge no long dies with the wise it’s is held for eternity.

[@stevemartin3442]

I strongly agree with everything in this video! Now is 100% the time to change and I have the idea of how to make it all actually happen!! After having my own spiritual awakening recently I’ve thought of a simple way to take money back off the rich and powerful and put the transfer of wealth and power back to the people!! A real achievable future if we all come together!! Exciting times lie ahead my lovely people ! Watch this space... peace ✌🏻love ❤️ freedom 👊🏻

[@foxopossum]

What an awesomely wonderful man. We are supposed to know how to “be”. Isn’t that the struggle? Really?! We have all of these influences forming and shaping us. We are spiritual beings in a material world. We are at the same time people pleasers and rebels, egomaniacs with inferiority complexes, very smart and oh so dumb, all of us. I am a miracle because I know how to be and who I am. I consider it a tremendous blessing to have been totally broken by addiction because it led me to the Truth. The only real Truth. I am just a normal nobody and I could not be happier knowing that.

[@Sheeesh310]

Thanks that’s beautiful… I too, stumbled upon the “Gift Of Desperation” and am Great-Full for it ✌️

@@PeachesCourage I have let go of everything that I felt was bs and l live the most peaceful life everyday in such tomoltuous time. God's grace has been bestowed upon me.

[@corrynnjoy3334]

I’m in the process of a spiritual awakening, I’ve always known there was something more. I felt trapped in a box since I was very young and just felt as if I was walking through the motions watching many others do the same. It caused others and myself a lot of pain and misunderstanding. I never felt heard and they felt as if I never listened. Society led me to believe there was something wrong with me and I had myself convinced of the same, I now know different. Now that I finally understand, it’s a liberating process. It’s really painful yet breathtakingly beautiful. I feel as if we must allow and guide others to follow through this natural process by not numbing with medications for financial gain. We can’t save everyone, that wouldn’t be following the natural order of life. I’m obviously struggling with the ethics and principals of it all as an ER nurse. I have advocated fiercely for my patients and can no longer reside within the societal constraints of our healthcare system knowing what I know. Can anyone else that works in healthcare help guide me through this mindset? I know I can’t go back, my healing is needed elsewhere.

[@Emilliey]

Russell how did you know!? I only dare deviate from your channel for Sadhguru's sage teachings. So amazing listening to you both I the same session. Love this. Keep up the great work mate and greetings from the land down under x

[@lucidhooded4147]

I don't know what to say that doesn't sound cliche. My gratitude may be matched with the dismay that I can't currently experience all of the beauty like this video and so many others that Russel and his kind are able to scrounge together with such love and inspiration. No lack of things to be grateful for. That would make a good sad song. It would be sad because beauty and sadness go so well together. Some people don't have the circumstances currently to make space to feel the beauty. This is also beautiful in the hearts of some I know.

[@Leslie_Gaddy]

I love what you both have to say. I have chosen to expand my awareness and take full responsibility for my reality, rather than allow life to direct me. It has been a miserable yet the most gratifying journey to date. I am still seeking answers, but my awareness continues to expand. Thank you for publicly addressing this topic. It has been silenced for far too long. 🙏♾

[@caoimheburns577]

I think we all needed to hear this so much given everything that is going on in the world. Thanks Russell 🙏

Spirituality- the path of "BEING" we are human beings learning to just be - free

[@Dweebatheart]

Spirituality is the practice that saved my sanity. I believe that people recognizing and embracing spirituality is the only way to save the world.

[@johnaustin6067]

I love the way he says "Isn't it". Especially in the many other videos I've watched.

[@human-qp1mf]

I ALWAYS feel a transition coming. I warn everyone. I get my self together and watch everyone else fall apart. It does effect me slightly. When you know it's coming and coming hard, you brace yourself. Jiggling along, head flipping back and forth, with a smile on my face! Weeee told ya!!!😆

[@bridgetkorns8174]

I agree with Sadhguru completely. On my own path I've come to the same conclusions. When your stuck in Survival Mode (lower three chakras) you don't have time to cultivate the mind. When everyone has the time to cultivate their mind (in Buddhisim it starts off as a rock, with meditation it becomes a flower 🌼 and blossoms especially when meditating and building a relationship with the Divine). We are aware of our suffering because it's the first time we've had the time to look around and say, "Hey, this system that we've had since the Zodical Age of Taurus when cultivation of food started in the Indus Valley sucks!" But as it says in the Christian tradition if everyone cultiavetes their mind/relationship with the Divine by doing personal work- Boom we will be living in a Garden of Minds (Garden of Eden reborn maybe) and, "Everything will be added to you," by the Divine blossoming beautifully on it's own. Can suffering be removed from the Human Experience? Is that our responsibility? I asked Acuyta Bhava Das, a Bhakti Yoga practioner, on his page and he's supposed to answer a question on this topic.

[@jamesparry1547]

It only takes one person for change. The strength of one makes others stronger.

[@324cmac]

That was a lot of information to ponder. Your questions were excellent, Russell! I was also impressed with the insights Sadhguru gave to such complex questions. I'm not sure if I agreed with all of his conclusions but they made sense. One thing, I think animals are more complex than he described.

[@sageglass4545]

I love what you do, bringing awareness help us decipher what really going on. Biggest lesson for me Be the change

[@shannonnonnahs6943]

Russell you have such a beautiful spirit. ✌💜😊 Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us all.

[@senenick9634]

I agree with Sadghuru… Carl Sagan the astronomer from the United States said: “Just now, there a great many matters that are pressing in on us that compete for the money it takes to send people to other worlds. *Should we solve those problems first, or are they a reason for going?*” I have thought about this question a great deal, but the answer is clear… As Einstein said, “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” To solve the problems we have, we cannot use the same thinking which created the problem in the first place. Carl Jung perhaps puts it best… “Man must after all be changed from within; otherwise he merely assimilates the new material to the old pattern.” Real change comes from within and then *necessarily* emanates outwards. Just as “mastering others is strength but mastering yourself is true power.” -Lao Tzu Thanks for this Russell! 👏

[@hoogykoogy7565]

There is one understanding and he said it so well. Forget society as a thing and express your truth which is the same for all enlightened beings. Bring the light you were born with ;-)

[@rawr4444]

Working on it! Thanks for the reminder, lol!

[@evantochydlowski4787]

Omg he had Sadhguru on the podcast?!? 🤯 I definitely need to go watch that. But I definitely agree with the overall message of the video!! Now is the time for transformation. I myself have personally been in Peru for the past several weeks drinking Ayahuasca to heal and transform myself from the inside out! Edit: I agree with Sadhguru I think that if you can blossom your life from the inside out then positive impact in the world will be a natural consequence of what we have become. In the words of David R Hawkins "We change the world not by what we say or do, but as a consequence of what we have become." For me this hits the nail on the head!

[@sarahmclin2434]

How is it going?

[@evantochydlowski4787]

@@sarahmclin2434 Great! I suffered pretty much my entire life with horrible anxiety and depression. For the first time in my life I feel like I am completely calm and at peace within myself. I still have off days where I feel kind of weird. But nothing crippling like it was in the past. My plant medicine work has been very effective and healing for me.

[@adhimustewartakamindbender8899]

Absolutely yes, he is right and so are you! The cocoon of chaos that the world is engulfed in is necessary to inspire the transformation and dedication required to become the enlightened butterfly paradise we deeply dream the world can become! Let us transform ourselves and speak our hearts to all who might hear the light! :)

[@mollywhite9966]

This is brilliant and exactly the encouragement I need at this time❤️👏👏👏👏❤️

Love your content

[@silkemansholt6283]

I often dream that lots and lots of people hear what I have to say. I believe I could support establishing peace as I have experienced and healed tremendous pain and I love to communicate my ideas. I want to do that from an egoless and fearless place... So, I think my soul waits for the right moment. I try to give this vessel, the flower on the field, into my soul's hands. I am a unique, wonderful flower, but I don't know how I am and will be used.

[@fernandobonicelli7219]

Hey Russell I've only started watching your videos recently. Not only do I admire what you're doing for the rest of us, but it has also given me hope. Please keep informing, sharing and teaching us. And as you always say, lets keep together. Thanks man ✌️
