Sadhguru on Life, Death, and the Pursuit of What Matters Most

Sadhguru delves into the deepest questions of existence—death, the afterlife, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. The conversation begins by exploring how our fear of death often robs us of truly living, and how our identification with thoughts can lead to unnecessary suffering. Sadhguru guides listeners on the pathway to becoming more conscious, challenging us to consider whether we are truly the drivers of our own lives. He discusses the ways we accumulate energy that doesn’t serve us and addresses the problem of a cluttered mind. As the dialogue unfolds, Sadhguru encourages us to face the fragility of time, contemplate the mysteries of the afterlife, and find meaning in both living and dying.
