Part 5: Rapid fire questions by Karan Johar

Transcript: I know you haven't seen any of my films, but do you have a favourite film? Oh. I've seen many good movies. At one time I saw a lot of them. I've not seen much of Indian cinema. But I saw lot of, you know, English cinema. But one movie that I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed at that time because on that day the way things happened. Many life situations fell together and everything. It was 'Roman Holiday'....

... Oh. Well, I have to say, that that's the first film I've ever seen in my life. My mother took me to the cinema. Here we are. It is true. 'Roman Holiday' is the first film I ever saw, it was my introduction to the big screen. I'm glad I have something in common with you. That image of Audrey and Gregory Peck somehow just stayed with me. Wonderful. It was probably my age. Must've been. Something you enjoy doing and wish you had more time for. I wish I had more time. Because I made myself like this that there is nothing that I enjoy or do not enjoy. I make sure I enjoy everything that I do, including simply sitting quietly, or talking to somebody, or doing whatever because my activity is not limited to one area. There are so many things. If you did not enjoy everything that you do and do not do, you will go insane trying to manage so many things. But I'll not go insane because I enjoy being alive. Activities, anything is okay. Everything I do, I enjoy. Small things, big things, every kind of thing. Most profound things and silly things, I enjoy thoroughly. As with us all. Lastly, in a biopic made on you, who would play you? But who would make a biopic first of all? No, there will be lots of interested people. Maybe you should animate.

Part 4: Rapid fire questions by Karan Johar

Transcript: One thing the world doesn't know about you. They don't know a thing about me. That's a fact. And the one thing you wish you could change about yourself. Oh, I never looked at that. I could speak Hindi. No, I'm sorry, Marathi. The one thing you wish you could change about the world. Oh, a lot of things. One. Human beings. Desperately in need of. So, what would you consider to be your greatest achievement?...

... I don't think there's any. Because I always fall awfully short of my own expectation of what I could do. So I never feel anything is an acheivement. Is there a song you love, and can listen to all the time? I, somehow. Alai, alai, alai, alai, alai, alai. No. Probably because this came to me at a certain time when I was in my early teens maybe. So this one song kind of comes back to me more often than anything else. It's not that I even sing it, but somehow one way or the other the song keeps coming back to me. It's 'How many times'.

Part 2: Rapid fire questions by Karan Johar

Transcript: In an imaginary, completely hypothetical situation, if you had a day off with no commitments, no responsibilities, what would you spend the day doing? Oh. A lot of things. This can't be one word. No, it's not one word. See, I have an indiscriminate sense of passion towards everything. There were lots and lots of things I did at one time, but these days time is not allowing me to do that. So, generally...

... if I have little time all I do is play golf. Because that's safe and within the city and I can get back in time for something else to be done. But if an entire day is left to me, which they have not done for a long time, they have not left it to me. If that happens, I will close my eyes and sit because that is my, the best, the best. I am at my best when I truly have nothing to do. What is one thing you'd like people to remember about you at the end of your life? They must live so wonderfully that they don't even remember me. If you found a way to travel through time, where would you go? I'm kind of done with all those things. Your universe visited already, you have visas for every part of this ecosystem. If we can do some slow fire. Yeah. Because that's a question with many ramifications. This, for example, traveling in the world. We jetted around and now we want to travel to the Mars, we want to travel to another place. And now that's not enough, we want to travel to the past and future. All this longing is again, exploratory in nature. Whether you go on vacation to Maldives or you want to go to Mars, it is fundamentally exploratory. Maybe you're also thinking of relaxation and pleasure and whatever, but essentially it's exploratory. Otherwise why can't you do it here? Something that you want to do, you want to touch another place. This longing is there in the human being only as long as the life that you are remains in a seed form. That is, it did not sprout and blossom. Because your ideas of time and space are essentially, because you're living within the framework of your intellect. If you cross that dimension, then there is no such thing as time and space. Everything is here and now. So, traveling through time, space, no, it means nothing to me.

Part 3: Rapid fire questions by Karan Johar

Transcript: What is the first thing you notice when you meet a person? Just everything. Everything? Everything. Past, present, and future. Is it more important to do what you love, or love what you're doing? One word or more? The choice is entirely yours. See, if you're an intelligent person, you will try to do what you love most. But if you're a genius, you will do just what is needed. If you could be invisible...

... for a day, what would you do? You wouldn't know. With due respect, what is your biggest weakness? Biggest...? What is your biggest weakness? See, what normally people treat as weakness in their lives. Okay, let me give a normal answer. Why am I going into all this? Already you said I'm, what? What's the word? Cached. My biggest weakness is, I love danger. Without danger, I cannot live. I need to do something which keeps me on the edge of being mortal, being alive and dead. I want to walk that line all the time. Everyday I'm stepping on it one way or the other. Is it a weakness? I don't think so. But people think, "Sadhguru, you shouldn't risk your life like this." But if there's no risk, I feel I'm not being, because most of the time in my life, for whatever I'm doing, I don't feel tested. It's only in moments of danger that I feel little tested. So my weakness is I like to be stretched, you know. For all the time when I was a riding across India, later on I started driving. My only wish was that to find a machine which will test my skills. Always found the damn things broke down if I took it to my limits. These days recently I'm beginning to get to do a few machines which are testing me. Whether I can push it all the way or not. Maybe that's because of my age. If I had met them much younger, I think I would've managed to work around them.

Part 1: Rapid fire questions by Karan Johar

Transcript: Alright. Very simply, what is the one thing that is essential to living a balanced life? Sense. What is the one thing we must absolutely do away with in order to lead a balanced life? Senselessness. Alright. I thought that was coming. First thing that comes to your mind when I say the following, the first thing. Organized religion. Madness. Marriage. Cohabitation. Competition. Stupid. Money. Useful....

... Love. Can I say a sentence? Yes. I will allow that. Most beautiful, but unfortunately crippling for most people. If I can little elaborate that. See if something unpleasant cripples you, something nasty cripples you, it's acceptable. When something beautiful cripples you, it's a true disaster. If you could ask one person, alive or dead, one question, who would you ask and what would that be? I really sorted out all my questions because I did not spend time educating myself or doing anything. I spent my entire life sorting out every damn question I had. I kind of ran out of questions. And you certainly have not run out of any answers and you never will. Best advice you have ever received? Nothing. Never? No. I never sought nor did I receive. I made myself in such a way I'm incapable either of seeking advice or giving advice.

Yoga is Geometry

Raghu Rai, celebrated and renowned Indian photographer and photojournalist made one of the biggest coffee-table photo books, “Sadhguru”. In this article, Sadhguru tells us the significance of aligning one's own geometry with the cosmic geometry. The nature of a yogi is that he becomes geometrically conscious. Raghu was able to capture this aspect in some of the photographs, making these still pictures exhibiting a video effect - movement in stillness!
