30 years ago I was travelling in Thailand, and at a meditation retreat I spoke with the head monk about this. I asked 'is it possible to reach enlightened state with psychedelics?' He answered 'Of couse! But you cannot hold it. You are too weak. To hold it you need to grow the mental muscles. Meditation will build those muscles.' He smiled and chuckled while he answered, every bit the perfect monk presence :)

Ayahuasca is not the only hallucinogenic on earth, and you can reach higher levels of consciousness without it. He admits that ayahuasca can give you a push in your path, but he also says, correctly imo, that if you havent earned your spiritual knowledge, ayahuasca will just lift you up momentarily and then just bring you down. Ayahuasca, like any other sacred medicine is a tool, not the path, and sadly, for so many lost souls in the world that cling to anything that gives them a momentary sense of relief from their pain, they see it as this end-all-be-all solution that will simply get them to that famous yet so abstract goal: "enlightenment". I think this medicine is amazingly wise and useful, but you reach a point where you dont need to be sitting down purging or shitting ad going through this sometimes terribly hard experience anymore to evolve in your path. If you need it, that is great. But if you feel like you dont need it, that is great too.

DMT saved my life. It brought me from being an atheist to someone highly spiritual. Made me get off hard drugs and completely change the way I carry myself in every aspect towards the positive. I had a lot of trauma since I was a child and it was holding me back and I was able to work through it because of DMT and mushrooms. I realized the powerful potential with them and respected it. It was absolutely not recreational but 100% therapeutic. When I say it saved my life I truly mean that. I’ve never thrown up. I disagree with this video.

[@HoldenMcRoin69]

If you don’t mind me asking what hard drugs did DMT get you off? And did stop cold turkey after your DMT experience? So many people think im crazy when I tell them DMT has the potential to help someone quit drugs if they seriously want to change, and some people only want to change after the experience, if you don’t want to share I understand it’s highly personal and im glad you got your life back! I can’t describe the feeling after a DMT trip other than unconditional love and gratitude to be alive!

[@OgdenM]

Alex, no, they don't break YOU. They SHATTER the reality that you've created over your whole life in an instant. Really, meditation is about slowly taking that reality apart, brick by brick, or with a sledge hammer at times if needed. It's a much more gentle process then a drugs tend to be. Also, people tend to be able to more easily incorporate the lessons learned from meditation vs doing a substance because it's more gradual.

yeah, it just depends how prepared you are for it and if you have a positive subconsious or not, but as someone who has taken them, I agree that you can achieve the same enlightenment and healing through meditiation. we all learn and experience the same thing differently and i think if people wanted to experience psychedelics go them but personally I think deep meditation has done the same for me! :)

Mother Aya showed me what I was looking for for so long. She did not tell me what is right and what is wrong. She smiled at me and asked me to see a movie. The movie was my life played in backwards.

Mother Aya helped me. Like any other spiritual way, mother Aya is also a gift to us mankind.

The biggest problem with people is that they are so lazy and complacent they have zero mystical experience. They do not even know this domain exists. So they have no will to meditate seriously. A psychedelic experience can give you a glimpse that shows you what's possible. It's an immense motivation for many to actually start this journey and to take it seriously.

I’ve done over 50 plant medicine ceremonies (ayahuasca, San Pedro, peyote, Santo daime, psilocybin, Kambo) and very rarely thrown up. I’ve never felt addicted to any of the plants- quite the opposite in fact. I’m forced to feel the emotions and energies in the mind that I had suppressed. Now after all that experience, I have reached a point where my practice is just sitting and not interfering with my mind. It took all that to get to this point of simplicity I suppose. Back then I felt a desperation to get enlightened so I would push myself to the brink with the medicine, thinking I could accelerate the process. But now I realize that just to sit and close my eyes and allow everything to be as it is, is the actual shortcut. Infinite patience leads to immediate results ❤

@Shikhar Choudhary Well of course it's temporary...it's not meant to induce permanent effects. Psychedelics are like having the feast. Meditation is like having your regular dinner. One isn't sustainable, but that's not the goal of it. Psychedelics are quite empty unless you take the experience and integrate it into your life. Also, you described doing psychedelics before meditation...that likely influenced your experiences with meditation following the psychedelics. Psychedelics help point your compass so you know where you're going once you get deeper into meditation. If your experiences didn't lead you anywhere, then unfortunately you weren't consuming them correctly. This isn't either/or...it's both/and.

[@benzenner8826]

True liberation doesn't come through plant medicines. They just 'show you the house of spirituality but they don't truly let you in.' The path of Self-realization and purification is what leads to true spirituality. Drugs just give you some insights, which may be helpful in the beginning processes of self-awareness, but for me and my experience with aya (over 25 times) is that within a week after the ceremonies i was back to not feeling well.

This knowledge along liberated me from needing ANY from of external tool to ease, what I thought was, suffering. I'm not necessarily saying that Brahmah is above LSD, that would make no sense. I am simply saying that LSD Is part of brahmah and does not give as much pleasure as knowing brahmah alone. LSD, psychedelics and drugs are included within Brahmah, but this doesn't make them inherently good things on their own. Rape is included in Brahmah, and nobody can say rape is good, yes? Nor does anybody say that "Brahmah is good" Brahmah is just brahmah, goodness is included within him. I think, most people understood my message but I should have put it across clearer. LSD helped with removing the ignorance that the mind is the self, this task did not require the knowledge of Atma Bodha, but rather experience from WITHOUT the mind. This is dangerous and I donn't recomend people loosing their minds, unless they're ready for it and skilled. I was.

The guru does not need direct experience with Ayahuasca because there is an archive in unconsciousness plane where every human experience is inscribed.

I drank ayahuasca 25 or so times, there were some great insights and sensations, temporary Unity Consciousness and love/bliss, but overall it left me feeling lower within 5-7 days of the ceremonies because I knew i couldn't sustain the feelings that the plants gave me, I unfortunately had no integration therapists to work with, which they offer at some centers in Peru. My ceremonies with Yage/Ayahuasca in Colombia were powerful for clearing my digestive track though, which may have been helpful then on a physical level because my system wasn't healthy, but there's other ways to heal that, like water only fasting, a lifestyle high in non-refined whole plant foods, and regular herbal parasite cleansing. I think for someone whose just starting on the spiritual path some plant medicines can help 'jump-start' the God within, but in the long-term it's not sustainable. True awakening isn't through plant medicines. It comes through self-purification and many yogi guru mystics teach sustainable methods of Santosha/liberation. One yoga teacher who had lived in ashrams in India once said to me that drugs "show you the house of spirituality, but they don't let you in."

[@andrewknox1217]

I look at psychedelic substances through the lens of medicine. They can facilitate healing. But they are not addictive. That said, Sadhguru is right that while these tools are helpful and there's absolutely nothing wrong with using them, they cannot take the place of a genuine spiritual practice. They can be complementary and helpful, but one should not use them as a substitute for putting in the work.

[@AyahuascaRetreat]

Ayahuasca is a teacher in the same way that Sadhguru is one. Thinking that Ayahuasca is THE path is like thinking that Sadhugur is THE path: They are not. They are just beings (one is a plant, the other a human) with a higher consciousness trying to guide and show the way to those who are seeking. But ayahuasca alone (or watching Sadhguru's videos and doing mindless yoga alone) will not take you anywhere. At the end of the day, each of us has to walk our own path. The work is a personal process - regardless of the teacher. Guru's (and plant teachers) are just there to provide a map and a clear light so we can walk without falling so much. That's all. I've done ayahuasca 50+ times, working at a medicine community in the mountains of Colombia and I have seen both cases: People who have drank the medicine 100s of times and are still where they started People who drink it once, do their work, and completely transform their life. (we're talking suicidal people, depressive ones, criminals and more literally turning their life around after a profound experience) I'm sure the same happens at the Isha institute - there's plenty of amazing people who have grown so much from the practices.. And there's the rest who may be doing the practices but aren't really committed about their internal growth. Again, you don't need ayahuasca to grow spiritually... But you also do not need Sadhguru either. The truth is that in these times, a little help does not hurt. :)

I wish he would have Ayahuasca experience - he wouldn't then dismiss it so carelessly. Long time ago I had dismissive attitude as well, but it changed after having actual experience. In my case it took few sessions to tune in and be able to surrender (I think surrender and trust is the key for Ayahuasca; but I guess it is a key to all important things/practices in life). But once I just surrender from beginning - magic happened. I had the deepest, most beautiful spiritual realizations and insights I will never forget. I had my last experience year ago. It was extremely deep and beautiful. I don't want to have another one until I feel that I integrated and understood the lesson from last one, even if it will take 5 or 10 years more. And I integrate it through meditation and contemplative practices. So it's not either this or that - no need to divide, fight, discredit. Just open the heart and mind and see divine in all...

Dearest Sadhguru, I wanted to tell you that I follow you a lot and admire you, you are contributing to the growth of my spirit and that of millions of people. I recently attended a 12 day ayahuasca retreat/diet. Having previously participated in a vipassana meditation retreat, I found many similarities between the two experiences. To the point of considering them complementary. From my humble point of view I believe that traditions so different but both so ancient and wise can find points in common having the aim of healing the spirit and the soul. The Amazonian medicine center that I visited has as its objective the treatment of drug addictions for which a six-month retreat is foreseen. The "vomitive" part of the cleanse involves only two hours of the entire 12-day process. The ayahuasca ceremony itself lasts 4 to 6 hours. I agree that the plant elevates the mind and then everything returns to normal. But the days following the intake of ayahuasca are of meditative isolation and silence in the Amazon forest, and, with the help of psychologists, they are used to analyze and metabolize the intuitions that the plant suggests and amplifies. Each era has a different approach to resources. Today in the field of "Western" medical research we are rediscovering how LSD itself can be used in medicine for research on mental disorders. As well as for ayahuasca and addictions. To date, the ayahuasca ceremonies only partially retain the ritual aspect that dates back to more than 2000 years ago. In the center that I visited in Peru it is mostly used to help with the analysis directed by psychoanalysts to overcome addictions to substances such as alcohol, marijuana, etc., as already mentioned. Therefore I can only draw positive conclusions at the regard. Having known people who after the treatment have overcome this problem. Finally, I believe that, like all things, it is the intention with which one approaches this type of experience that makes the difference. Having said that, I will not stop meditating and following your precious advice. Dear greetings. David

[@balanced-shez8226]

Psychedelics don't leave me flat far from it, actually guide you back if you get off track.

It needs a highly experienced guide and is not to be played with, especially by spiritual tourists. I used Zen meditation and the Medicine Buddha sadhana to do the same. These practices are a lot safer and you don't have to travel to the Amazon etc to do them, although I assume for the tourists this is all part of the adventure.

[@adisuryashakthi5744]

With due respect, I have to disagree with some of the points made in the video. Firstly, Ayahuasca is a naturally occurring, sacred plant herb. Not chemically manufactured or conjured up in laboratories, to be casually abused. Secondly, it's definitely not something to be ingested for your "casual weekend trip". If the Ayahuasca ceremony is done by trained/ordained practitioners or Shamans, it certainly becomes a sacred doorway for you to explore higher dimensions or hidden parts of your consciousness that requires working upon. All trips with chemically manufactured substances or even naturally occurring substances done erratically or without guidance, invariably end with a crash or damaging your energy system, as mentioned in 6:07. Not the case with a genuine Ayahuasca ceremony. That danger is mitigated, with an ordained Shaman performing the ceremony. Another key point is-- you surrender to the spirit or intelligence present in the Ayahuasca herb. Which navigates/handholds you safely during the trip and shows you only that which you can handle intrinsically, without any damage to your system or psyche.

[@firstoneread6633]

🙏When it comes to any kind of physical harm to our body, you're absolutely correct. Modern medical science is saying so. However another thing we have to keep in mind that, if you liked the experience and would like to experience it again, you have to use that catalyst. That makes you dependent on it. After going through it once, the dimension is not open for you permanently. On the other hand, if you are able to make yourself capable, you can experience that anytime without any outside help. Proper meditation can help you with that. It'll require a lot of effort, but the dimension will be forever open. If you try meditation for couple of months consistently, you can get a small taste of it. I would like to invite you watch Ayuhasqa experience story from channel called Beerbiceps. 🙏

Ayahuasca is nothing near sweet like Coca Cola, and is just as likely to drag you into your shadow side than raise you up ecstatically. Point being, they are different modalities with different aims, and sometimes, Ayahuasca can serve a beautiful purpose to help people confront and work through trauma, forgive, and connect with a depth which clears space for working in the everyday with a new ambition towards the spiritual. So I would say, Ayahuasca can be like water in many ways - it can clean, clarify, bring tears of healing, revitalise, help flow and move on, connect and carry.

After my experience with Iboga, I actually experienced (not as a mental concept) that half of my breathing apparatus hangs on a tree, literally like Sadhguru says all the time. My Iboga experience actually motivated me to pursue spirituality further and I enrolled myself in Inner Engineering. I have been doing Shambhavi Mahamudra daily for the last one year since and never had any urge to participate in a Iboga ceremony again. So, in my opinion, plant medication can act as the first step in your spiritual journey but a powerful practice like Shambhavi Maha Mudra is needed for you to make real progress. I say first step because I’m sure most people can’t even comprehend what Sadhguru’s actually talking about because they have never experienced any space between themselves and their psychological drama. So they won’t have the motivation to follow through a spiritual practice like Shambhavi because they have never even had a glimpse of what’s on the other side. For example, once you experience something like accessing Akashik records even temporarily, you will become sufficiently motivated to pursue a spiritual practice diligently. That type of experience will stay with you for life 🙂

I think Sadhguru is a gifted mystic and amazing human. I love his books and his talks - but I also like it when he talks about things he actually knows about and has done. How can he have such a strong opinion about something he has never experienced? He compares it with LSD and other drugs, but those are chemical compounds made in a laboratory. I have never done Ayuhuasa, but I have met many people who have. I don't have an opinion on the experience because I have never done it. All I know is that it is a medicine that has been used for thousands of years and that has helped MILLIONS of people. Not all of us have the pleasure of having a transcendental moment on a hill in our 20's that transforms us into yogis. I think Sadhguru should save his opinion for the the topics he actually knows about, which is thousands of other things that I would rather hear him talk about.

yah, no doubt psychedelics are a marvelous tools for healing/expansion not to be abused as a source of addiction of/c. I suppose what he is trying to reinforce is that we are capable of having such experiences of a psychedelic nature w/o having to turn to something externally. We can produce DMT naturally too. The layers of conditioning can make it ever so difficult though.

I'm from Brazil and I've done ayahuasca. He talks about parasites but we don't use ayahuasca for parasites at all. It's all a spiritual experience in my opinion. Yes, there's a purge and it can be really bad if you use alcohol and processed food regularly. I only eat natural food and my purge wasn't really bad. Ayahuasca is from Mama Gaia. When you consacrate the ayahuasca, Mama Gaia comes to you and take you to where you need to go. It can take you back to your childhood, past lives, future.... whatever you need at that moment. You cannot consacrate just fun curiosity, you need to know what you are trying to find out. If you have a question with no answer, ayahusca will show you exactly what you need to see. It's magical. I was able to draw and write some of my visions. Thank you Mama Gaia. I love you! ❤ Força e Luz! ❤

I have taken ayahuasca for over 7 years now, and I can say: Sadhguru is right. But then, so am I. It's not for everyone and it requires a lot of care and skill on the part of the shaman in order to really being a healing experience. If you ask me, I'll say it's extraordinary and that everybody should try it; but then again it's not wrong not wanting to try; it's a matter of perspective. My opinion on this issue really doesn't matter, neither does Sadhguru's - only your opinion matters. If you wanna try ayahuasca, do it; I only strongly recommend you look for a serious professional, research his background and ensure he's serious and a true healer, and only do it if it's in a proper setting and you feel really comfortable - taking ayahuasca is a ritual. I totally recommend against taking it to get high, it was not made for that and will give you serious trouble.

I disagree. Psychedelics are a great way to open your mind to many aspects of our minds and the world around us. You need to integrate these experiences and not just chase them. It is possible naturally but people who are in dark places or are unable to regularly sit with themselves sometimes need a way to see things from the other side.

[@phoenixj1299]

Truth doesn't care whether you agree or not. DMT creates a delusion of mystical experience with you. From that point onwards you will have trouble differentiating delusions with reality. But it won't be the case if you believe your delusions to be true .DMT makes your spirtual path way harder than a common man.

I've done a heroic dose of PE mushrooms, i was completely thrown away to another dimension of moving fractals where time and space did not exist, everything was just pure energy, i was overwhelmed to meet these fractals full of eyes and radiating with light with a vibration and musical rhythm that was stretched and distorted, hard to explain. It was frightening and intense, i felt so misaligned with these cosmic energies, the only way i began to kind of find an alignment and connection was through a more controlled breathing and posture. After my experience of going through the gates, experiencing an hyper dimension, falling into a dark abyss that felt like an eternity of madness, then reconquering myself and ending my trip with such gratefulness and glory. I knew right there that i needed to start meditating, to find balance, align my chakras (or whatever energies i saw flowing inside of me). I knew that I could only face this hyper-dimension again and meet the gods (my deepest self/conscience?) if i found this balance. The experience is terrifying but life-changing. Thanks to it, i'm able to understand these meditation unlike ever before. I'm very skeptical, scientific, I discard any pseudo science, and this was the last thing i would think I would start caring about. Hard to explain. So thanks to psychedelics, I was able to seek mediation and balance. It is not addictive, it is frightening and I don't dare try it again unless i'm psychologically prepared to face those things again. It's like being thrown into the Colosseum with gladiators and lions unprepared, but if you come out victorious, it's the greatest experience you could ever have.

I want to give a warning to everyone who thinks enlightenment is something you want to experience. I broke through on my first time on changa (DMT) and it changed my whole perspective.

I appreciate your view on these hallucinogens, however, experience with some of these substances can truly change your life from misery to joy. Not that it should be used constantly, but when someone's mind is so full of constant chatter and their body is incredibly out of balance chemically, this can bring them back to a level playing field, where they may be able to heal. It can be an indication of how the body and the self are different.

Sadguru is not deniying anybody's experience here. He himself said people went into transcendetal states when used pyschedelics in some other videos. All he is trying to say is meditation is the ultimate way beacuse how much ever these substances help u they might have an affect on ur body and nervous system. For example caffine gives u a state of high but, eventually u come back to pre caffine stages and become dull. There are many people who changed their life after doing pyschedelics but, there are also people who did this stuff again and again and became addicts. It is very simple ,do u want a long and sustainble solution or a quick fix. Popping a pill or herb always has affects on body. Its fine if u did it once or twice but, once you start doing every now and then eventually u will stare into abyss and nothing else. u would have ruined ur body by then

Peace, health and happiness to Sadhguru and everyone here. I rarely disagree with Sadhguru, but this is one such moment. In my own experience with various entheogenic compounds, Ayahuasca included, there is indeed the potential for profound, deeply meaningful and outright mystical experiences, but this comes with some caveats. Ayahuasca and other entheogenic psychedelics are simply technologies, tools that require certain techniques to use. Take a stiff dose of ayahuasca, and you will indeed have quite the experience, possibly even transformative. Take a weaker dose, and the mind is relaxed, vision can turn inward, a deep introspective experience can be had. It takes diligent effort and understanding to apply these substances in different ways, but they have their uses. My own mystical experiences brought about by psychedelics were deeply moving, reaffirmed my love of life and of all beings in the universe and motivated me to reinforce my meditation and yoga practice. Treating these substances not as magic short cuts to enlightenment, but as tools to help those of us who choose to use them to further our practice opens a world of possibilities.

[@phoenixj1299]

There is nothing spirtual about it . The very fact that you want to take psychedelics is a psychological aspect that contains desire for shortcuts, quick solutions ,intention. So DMT creates a delusion which makes you feel content but in truth you are under the deeper illusion of mind. You lack the comprehension to understand the profoundness of spirituality.

What I grasp from this video is and imo, if there exists a different dimension of consciousness in us, it can be better reached without external stimulation or help, because it can only be reached by being natural and by disconnecting consciously the senses from external world, and slowing down the cycle of emerging thoughts. No ayahuasca can replace the space that we can create by being natural and master of senses.

As I understood from what Sadhguru says in this video, he is not completely discounting the power of psychedelics. At various points in the video he says, "it gives you temporary access", "it can cause extensive damage", "it's a painful process" etc. He's proposing that there is a less painful alternative. So all he's saying is that he wouldn't recommend them. As others have also mentioned in the comments section, he can't straight off say that psychedelics are great because then people will start abusing them .

Ayahuasca showed me enlightenment, it allowed me to experience it. It then spoke through me and told me “You don’t need anything, you don’t need anything... You don’t need to take anything to be here. This is you.” What an incredible gift it is to meet yourself, and to realise he's always been with you. Everyone’s experience is different and maybe it’s not for you, but I’d be lying if I told you that it wasn’t for me a spiritual experience of the highest order. I’ve adopted a sober lifestyle and have never been more in tune with life and myself. Meditation is the key to yourself and therefore to enlightenment, I won’t argue with Sadhguru about that, but it was ayahuasca that thought me to integrate that. This is a medicine for the body, but it is more importantly and specifically a medicine for the mind which is a gateway to the soul. This medicine doesn't fix the mind but it can set you on a path to doing so. As others have pointed out "Psychedelics can give you a peak into the garden… but if you want to stay in the garden, you gotta do the work" This is also for me the true wisdom of this video.
