An Unexpected Tale: The Donkey Who Outsmarted Everyone

Through a story about an old farmer and his donkey, Sadhguru conveys an important reminder for all those on the spiritual path.

Through an ancient story of a king and a brilliant chess player, Sadhguru explains the miraculous nature of the human mind. He shares how our minds can either multiply misery or manifest miracles, and how exploring the Miracle of Mind can help one unlock one’s full potential.

Renowned cosmologist Prof. Bernard Carr explores the mystery of parallel universes with Sadhguru in a discussion facilitated by Dr. Bala Subramaniam, Professor of Anesthesiology at Harvard Medical School. The event was hosted by the Sadhguru Center for a Conscious Planet at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

Sadhguru explains the significance of Kalabhairava, a fearsome aspect of Shiva, and speaks of the terrible Bhairavi Yatana in Kashi, an intense process of obliterating lifetimes of karma in a moment. He explains how the process creates such unimaginable suffering, but just for one moment right before death, after which nothing of the past remains in you. Sadhguru says, "Kalabhairava is a deadly form of Shiva. It was guaranteed if you come to Kashi, you will attain to mukti, it doesn't matter what kind of a lousy creature you have been all your life."
