In this conversation with Sadhguru, Shekhar Kapur wonders how to cross the distance between intellectual understanding and experience. Sadhguru explains that the nature of the intellect is like a trap that one builds for himself, and then longs to escape. Yogi, mystic and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference. An arresting blend of profundity and pragmatism, his life and work serves as a reminder that yoga is a contemporary science, vitally relevant to our times.

Very interesting. Especially in times we tend to think we can analize everything by logical thinking. Maybe we can, but do we understand? Instead itβ€˜s the experience that leads to perception without thinking... Thanks gor remembering! Rapha β˜―οΈπŸ™πŸΌ
