Turn Your Pain Into Power, Not Poison | Sadhguru

Sadhguru, author of 'Karma' and 'Inner Engineering', joins Lewis Howes to discuss a revolutionary understanding of karma—not as punishment but as memory that can lead to liberation. He introduces the yogic concept of vasana, or subtle impressions that shape behavior, and explains why a limited sense of identity is the root of all crime. The conversation also explores practical tools like the Shambhavi practice and Inner Engineering method, designed to help you experience a separation between your true self and your physical and mental processes. This episode offers both philosophical depth and actionable steps for anyone looking to transform their life.
