It’s almost like a role reversal for spiritual guru Sadhuguru on ‘Duologue with Barun Das’ as the session draws out the spiritual guru like never before on complexity of spirituality, religion and the youth dividend.

The dialogue dwells at length on the India advantage in the global arena, driving home the untapped soft power.

Sadhguru talks about ‘Inner Engineering’ as the SOP for spirituality, but does it convince Barun Das?

Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, known for his contributions in the field of yoga, spirituality and environmentalism, is faced with a line of questioning from an IIT-IIM bred business leader where new theories come to light. The exchange on spirituality being a ‘concept’ or a way of life draws out an animated conversation, a media statement from TV9 Network said.

“Being in conversation with Sadhguru has been partly educational, and completely riveting. I admire his capability to indulge me on most occasions when my point of view is contrarian. His ability to assimilate and reflect on new thought processes is particularly impressive,” said Barun Das, MD & CEO, TV9 Network, and the ‘Duologue’ host.

‘Duologue with Barun Das’ is a cerebral conversation with a legend or a legend in the making. As the title suggests, it is a two-way interaction to enable exchange of ideas in a free-flowing manner. ‘Duologue’ is not provoked by headline management but to evolve emancipated influencer conversations.

The insights shared by Sadhguru on India’s role in the global arena and the importance of guiding the youth in the right direction added a new dimension to their Duologue, making it an unforgettable deliberation.

In response to Das’ assertion that “spirituality is born out of human minds”, Sadhguru said, “Concepts are made in human minds… it is not a product of your mind. If you keep your mind aside, you will become spiritual.”

Das shared three levers he manages his interfaces and life with. The first one is ‘being true to his duty and himself’, the second, ‘his belief of living and letting live’ and the third being ‘consciously not harming anyone’.

Sadhguru promptly called the definition of his ‘interfaces’ as ‘transactions of life’ and said, “Essentially, when you say interface, you’re trying to define your transactions with the world around you. It is important to separate the life of existence and life of transactions. Transactions are not your life; you are a life.”

Sadhguru, with his vast knowledge and experience, shed light on various aspects of life and highlighted the four dimensions of Intelligence – ‘Buddhi, Ahankara, Manas & Chitta.’

Seeking clarity amid the complexity, Barun demanded an SOP for spirituality that can be followed in daily life. Sadhguru joked about his ashram being a ‘Factory of Spirituality.’ However, he gave out the SOP with the help of a 20-second exercise and called the method ‘Inner Engineering’.

The enigma of Sadhguru’s spiritual discourse gets decoded through a logical point by point counter in the six-part series streaming now on News9 Plus.

The six episodes break up as EP1: Complexity to Clarity; EP2: Spiritual Factory S.O.P; EP3: Intoxicated; EP4: The Math of Happiness; EP5: India’s Tryst and EP6: Yonder of Youth.
