Summary of Chapter 1: Death by Sadhguru

Scan to Download
The Illusion of Death

Death is deemed the ultimate lie; while it seems undeniably

true, it emerges from our ignorance. Our defeats and failures
stem from this ignorance, as true victory is impossible
without knowledge—a light that dispels the darkness of
misconceptions.

Influence of Fear

The fear of death shapes society and personal ambitions,

driving pursuits of wealth and status. This fear even spurs
worship and prayer, yet the greatest truth remains that death
itself is a falsehood. Any life built on the belief in death is
flawed, leaving us incapable of authentic existence as long as
we live in fear.

The Reality of Life

Living in the perpetual shadow of death leads to ignorance of

true life’s essence—beauty and joy remain elusive as long as
we are haunted by death. Collective experiences of death not
only remind us of others' mortality but also hint at our own
inevitable demise.

Running from Shadows

Humans enact a futile escape from their shadows, which

symbolize death. Genuine liberation comes from facing
death—acknowledging it, rather than anxiously running
away, allows us to understand life profoundly.

Understanding Through Experience

Since we fear what we do not know, we avoid death instead

of confronting it. Seeking external validation or finding
solace in the belief of an immortal soul only deepens our
delusion. Experiencing death is essential to understanding
life; thus, we should strive to willingly encounter this truth.

Meditation and Death

Meditation is presented as a voluntary entry into death, a

conscious exploration that separates the self from the body.
Through three essential stages—relaxing the body, calming
the breath, and quieting the mind—one may start this
transformative journey. This process enables better
understanding and gives rise to freedom from the fear of

death, confirming life’s continuity beyond physical
existence.

Conclusion

Realizing that life and death are interconnected aspects of our

existence leads to the profound understanding that death is
not an end, but a continuation. Embracing death through
meditation facilitates a deeper connection to life, providing
insight into our eternal nature and the cycle of existence.

Example
Key Point:Embracing Death to Live Fully
Example:Imagine sitting in a quiet room, eyes closed, as
you meditate. With each breath, you confront the
looming shadow of death. Instead of running from it,
you visualize it as a part of life—a companion that
teaches you to cherish every moment. As you embrace
this awareness, fear transforms into clarity, revealing the
beauty around you that was once obscured. You realize
that by acknowledging death, you unlock a richness in
life, where joy and purpose blossom in the face of
impermanence.

Understanding Life and Death

The author discusses the concept that true understanding of

life is essential to comprehend death. He argues that
ignorance about life breeds fear of death, emphasizing that if
one does not know what life is, one cannot truly understand
or know death.

Death as an Illusion

The text suggests that the term "death" is inherently false, as

it represents a misinterpretation of existence. The author
asserts that for those who understand life deeply, death is an
insignificant concept. Instead, he presents a view of death as
a transition rather than an end, similar to the darkness that
exists only in the absence of light.

Life's Energy

The author draws a distinction between the physical body

and the life force or consciousness within. He illustrates that
life manifests as a vital energy, which persists beyond the
physical form. The text encourages individuals to reconnect
with their inner selves to transcend the fear of death.

Awakening from Ignorance

regarding the deeper aspects of life. The narrative compares
humanity to individuals asleep, unaware of their true nature,
leading to fear and conflict. The author critiques society’s
tendency to cling to material existence while neglecting
spiritual understanding.

Personal Experience with Death

The author recounts personal experiences that illustrate the

interconnectedness of body and soul, sharing instances where
he felt detached from his physical form and perceived a
deeper reality. This insight contributed to his understanding

Critical Thinking
Key Point:Misinterpretation of death leads to fear
and ignorance of life.
Critical Interpretation:Sadhguru's assertion that
understanding life is crucial to comprehending death
invites skepticism. While he frames death as an illusion,
others argue that ignoring death's reality may diminish
the value of life's finite aspects. Critics like philosopher
Martin Heidegger contend that our awareness of death
fundamentally shapes our existence, prompting a more
profound appreciation for life itself, rather than viewing
death as trivial. Therefore, the dialogue on life's
meaning should include perspectives that honor the
gravity of death, prompting readers to critically assess
Sadhguru's views.

Seeing Life as a Dream

Understanding Consciousness and Life Cycles

- Death and birth are two sides of the same phenomenon;

awareness at death ensures awareness at birth.
- Consciousness is key; if we die consciously, we carry that
awareness into our next life.

The Importance of Preparation Before Death

- It is vital to prepare for death while still living, as the

opportunity for awakening must occur before death.
- Relying on a sudden awakening at death is a great mistake;
consistent effort toward awakening is needed throughout life.

Experiences and Awareness

- There are powerful examples of consciousness and
meditation, such as the ruler of Kashi who underwent surgery
without anesthesia by maintaining deep meditation.
- The greatest challenge in life is to see through pain and
pleasure without identifying with them.

Meditation and Awareness

- Deep meditation helps us understand the separation

between the self and physical sensations.
- Experiments with pain—whether voluntary or
involuntary—can expand our consciousness and prepare us
for challenges, including death.

The Cycle of Life

- Life is filled with repeating patterns and mistakes that stem

from a lack of awareness.
- If we don’t remember past lives, we tend to repeat the same
mistakes and remain in a cycle.

UnVverse Vs 0 Tem@le

The Whole Universe is a Temple

Understanding God Within and Without

Sadhguru explores the distinction between realizing the

divine within oneself as opposed to seeking it externally in
everything else. A person who fails to recognize God within
can never truly see God in the greater universe. Recognition
of the divine starts with self-awareness; the doorway into
oneself is also a doorway to universal consciousness.

The Illusion of Separation

As individuals, we perceive ourselves as separate ("I" vs.

"you"), but true understanding dissolves this distinction.
Entering the self leads to a realization of unity, where the
concept of "all" transcends individual identity. This
understanding challenges notions of separate deities that

Scan to Download
different religions have constructed over time.

The Dangers of Imagination in Spirituality

Sadhguru critiques the projection of personal beliefs onto

God, which can create illusions rather than genuine
understanding. He shares an anecdote about a man who
claimed to see God everywhere, indicating that such
experiences can often stem from mental constructs rather
than a true divine experience.

Temples and Their Relevance

Although there are arguments against the necessity of

temples, Sadhguru asserts that while physical structures hold
no exclusive power over divine communion, they signify
humanity's collective aspiration towards spirituality. The
essence of a temple should be its function as a space for
meditation and connection with the divine, rather than being
centers of political or societal conflicts.

The Journey of Souls After Death

Sadhguru explains that souls post-death may face challenges

Scan to Download
in taking on new bodies depending on their spiritual
maturity. Inferior souls may struggle to find suitable wombs
immediately, while superior souls possess higher
expectations and wait for ideal circumstances for rebirth. The
soul's journey is influenced heavily by its past actions and the
consciousness of the parents from whom it seeks rebirth.

The Interplay of Good and Evil Souls

There is a clear distinction between the conditions of superior

and inferior souls, with inferior souls often seeking refuge in
the bodies of currently existing individuals, particularly those
with weaker spirits. The conversation extends to a larger
narrative about how collective histories and actions influence
the spiritual legacies of individuals and generations.

Creating a Unified Spiritual Understanding

Sadhguru suggests that a harmonious society would be one

where temples and places of worship invite the same
reverence and acceptance across all faiths, facilitating a
greater understanding of the divine that transcends individual
construct. The key to accessing this divine understanding lies
in introspection and the dropping of preconceptions about the

Scan to Download
self.
In conclusion, Sadhguru emphasizes the importance of
looking inward to grasp the true essence of divinity rather
than projecting it externally, urging a return to the roots of
spiritual experience as a means to attain unity with the
infinite.

Critical Thinking
Key Point:The Necessity of Introspection in Spiritual
Understanding
Critical Interpretation:Sadhguru emphasizes that true
spiritual realization comes not from external search but
from introspection. Readers should consider the
argument that self-awareness may not yield universal
truths, as numerous philosophical perspectives
underscore the subjective nature of spiritual experiences
(e.g., William James’ 'Varieties of Religious
Experience'). This points to the need for critical
skepticism regarding Sadhguru's assertion that one must
look inward to find unity with the divine.

Chapter 5 Summary: Understanding Life, Death,

and Consciousness

Triumphing Over Death

The text explains that triumphing over death is not about

conquering it but recognizing that death does not truly exist.
True understanding eliminates the fear of death, similar to
recognizing a shadow as an illusion. Meditation helps in
realizing this truth consciously, unlike sleep, where
awareness is lost.

The Nature of Sleep and Awareness

Sleep and meditation both allow individuals to reach a state

of peace and rejuvenation, yet sleep is a state of
unconsciousness while meditation is conscious awareness.
The text emphasizes the importance of deep sleep for

Scan to Download
revitalization but warns that those who struggle with sleep
can suffer greatly due to their disrupted connection to life’s
source.

Sleep as a Connection to the Divine

Deep, restful sleep brings a person closer to a divine

experience, allowing rejuvenation through unconsciousness.
However, the best state is where an individual can maintain
awareness, even while sleeping. The author suggests that
practices like meditation can help in achieving this state of
conscious sleep.

Hypnosis vs. Meditation

Hypnosis is framed as a cultivated state of sleep, induced by

suggestions that relax the body. In contrast, meditation
begins where awareness and witnessing occur. The
distinction lies in being unaware during hypnosis and fully
conscious during meditation, which is crucial for
understanding and experiencing deeper truths.

The Illusion of Separation from God

Scan to Download
The notion of “finding God” is challenged, positing that God
is never actually lost; rather, the perception of separation is a
form of hypnosis. True realization comes from understanding
that divine presence is always with us and does not require a
journey to find. The journey of spiritual practices often leads
individuals back to this awareness, revealing that all paths
are ultimately false or unnecessary as they imply separation:

Liberation from the Cycle of Birth and Death

Liberation carries the meaning of no longer being caught in

the illusion of coming and going, leading to true presence in
the moment. It involves awakening to the understanding that
existence is a unity, where all perceived separations diminish
and the experience of life becomes one of joy without the
need to search externally for fulfillment.
In conclusion, the chapter intricately explores the concepts of
life, death, consciousness, and spirituality, guiding readers
towards a deeper understanding of their existential reality
and connection to the divine.

Summary of Chapter 6: "Find Your Own Way"

Understanding Death and Truth

Sadhguru discusses the nature of death, framing it as one of

the most significant truths in life. He explains that while we
all will die, there is a part of us, the essence, which never
perishes. Recognizing this duality—accepting death as an
inevitability while understanding the enduring nature of the
self—is crucial for a holistic comprehension of existence.

Contradictions in Life

Sadhguru uses the metaphor of darkness and shadows to

illustrate life's contradictions. Just as darkness exists only as
the absence of light, our understanding of truth can also be
conditional. He emphasizes that recognizing the complexities
inherent in life is essential to grasping its truths fully.

Superstition versus Knowledge

The chapter delves into extremes of belief and superstition,

stressing the importance of critical thinking and
investigation. Sadhguru warns against blindly accepting or
rejecting beliefs without understanding them, suggesting that
both believers and skeptics can fall into superstitious
thinking if they lack fundamental inquiry.

Scientific Inquiry and its Limitations

Sadhguru points to the prevalence of scientific superstitions

and argues that many accepted scientific beliefs could also be
seen as unverified claims. He stresses the importance of
humility and curiosity in seeking knowledge, advocating for
a mindset that questions and investigates rather than simply
accepts.

Love is a Dangerous Question

Why Should We Think of Death?

The contemplation of death is a significant aspect of life that

cannot be ignored, despite our attempts to evade it. The
awareness of mortality, while daunting, is an integral part of
living fully in the present. Rather than postponing thoughts
on death, embracing its reality can enrich our understanding
of life.

Perpetual Dying

Death is not just a distant future event; it is a continuous

process that begins at birth. Every moment we are moving
closer to death, signifying that life and death are intertwined
in a cycle. Our existence itself is a gradual approach toward
death, challenging us to live authentically in every moment.

Scan to Download
The Nature of Thinking vs. Seeing

Thinking about death can often distance us from its true

meaning. Instead, direct experience or 'seeing' is the pathway
to genuinely understanding death. The difference between
thinking and seeing is crucial; true insight comes from
experiencing life and accepting the inevitability of death.

The Journey of Love

Understanding death opens the door to love. When we

acknowledge and accept the concept of death, the bonds with
others grow more profound, and we can experience life
without fearful attachments. Love is about connection, while
fear of death often leads to ego-based separations.

The Illusion of Separate Existence

Human beings frequently construct walls around themselves

due to fear, creating a false sense of separation from others
and from life itself. Acceptance and acknowledgment of
death lead to unity with life—the realization that ego and fear
must dissolve for true existence to flourish.

Scan to Download
Death as Transformation

The fear associated with death inhibits our ability to live.

Embracing death transforms our perspective, allowing us to
appreciate life's fleeting moments more fully. Just as waking
and sleeping are necessary parts of life, so are birth and
death, each enriching the quality of existence.

Suicidal Desires and Fear of Life

Individuals who contemplate suicide are often more afraid of

life’s struggles than of death itself. They seek an escape from
pain, demonstrating that the desire for life is intertwined with
the acceptance of death.

The Nature of Belief

Beliefs often shift to accommodate personal convenience

rather than truth. The exploration of life and death must go
beyond mere belief systems; it must engage with the actual
experience of these phenomena to achieve genuine
understanding.

Scan to Download
Conclusion: Embracing Death to Live Fully

To truly live, one must embrace death, recognizing it as an

essential part of the life cycle. By accepting both death and
life within their interconnectedness, we can experience a
transformative awakening that alleviates fear and enhances
our appreciation for existence.

Key Point:Embrace the reality of death to fully

Example:Imagine walking through a vibrant park on a
sunny day, realizing that every moment spent in its
beauty is precious because it is fleeting. As you take a
deep breath, you become aware that, just like the
changing seasons, life and death are intertwined. This
awareness urges you to cherish the laughter of friends,
the warmth of their hugs, and the richness of each
experience, knowing that life’s impermanence adds
value to every shared moment. By embracing the
inevitability of death, you deepen your connections,
letting go of fears that create barriers, allowing love to
flourish without hesitation.

Chapter 8 Summary: The Art of Dying

Teaching Life vs. Death

The chapter opens with a provocative question: Are we

teaching people to die? The author argues that understanding
death is essential for truly living a fulfilling life. Accepting
death allows one to appreciate life more fully.

False Dichotomy Between Life and Death

Sadhguru reflects on the misconceptions that separate life

and death. He explains that they are not opposites but rather
two ends of the same continuum. This misconception has
caused significant harm to humanity, leading to a
psychological schism within individuals.

Experiential Realities

Using analogies, the text discusses the relativity of

Scan to Download
experiences like hot and cold, childhood and old age, and
heaven and hell. The distinctions observed are often
qualitative rather than quantitative. Understanding this
relativity helps dissolve the contradictions we observe in life.

Acceptance of Life's Totality

The author suggests that to overcome insanity, humanity

must embrace life in its entirety, including death. It promotes
an idea that conflicts like anger and forgiveness, or sexuality
and celibacy, are degrees of the same experience rather than
absolute opposites.

The Role of Mediation

Meditation is presented as a means to accept the dual aspects

of existence, helping individuals to float above their mental
struggles rather than swimming against them. It teaches the
importance of surrender—by letting go of one's rigid
attachments, one can find peace.

Living with Death

Sadhguru emphasizes that learning to die means embracing

Scan to Download
life. Acknowledging mortality frees one from fears that limit
living authentically. He advocates that true rejuvenation
comes not from extending life artificially but from
understanding and accepting the inevitable nature of death.

Conclusion

The ultimate message is that learning to die is essential to

enjoying life. Fear of death leads to a frantic existence, while
acceptance allows individuals to live fully. A person who
welcomes death can navigate life's challenges with ease and
grace, ultimately achieving a harmonious existence.
In essence, understanding the art of dying leads to the art of
living, allowing individuals to live richer, more meaningful
lives.

Scan to Download
Critical Thinking
Key Point:Understanding the interconnectedness of
life and death
Critical Interpretation:Sadhguru's assertion that life and
death are part of the same continuum challenges
conventional views by suggesting that society often
neglects discussions about death, which may hinder
individuals from fully appreciating life. However, this
perspective can be seen as overly simplistic, as cultural
and personal beliefs surrounding death vary widely. For
instance, the philosophical works of authors like Martin
Heidegger, who explored being-towards-death as a
fundamental aspect of human existence, offer a deeper
exploration of how mortality informs our experiences.
It's important for readers to critically engage with
Sadhguru's views and consider alternative perspectives
regarding the relationship between life and death.

The Ultimate Freedom

The Nature of the Soul and Bodies

Sadhguru addresses the question of whether there are many

separate souls or one universal soul. He clarifies that while
there is one essence of God and the soul, the human
experience is complex due to two types of bodies: the gross
body, which is physical and visible, and the subtle body,
which consists of thoughts and feelings. Upon death, the
gross body disintegrates while the subtle body continues.
Eventually, ultimate liberation occurs when both bodies
cease to exist, merging the soul with the universe.

Experiences Beyond the Physical

Ordinary people experience the physical body; yogis

perceive the subtle body, while enlightened beings

experience the divine. Although there are numerous physical
and subtle bodies, the essence of consciousness remains
singular. When intimate connections between souls lead to
new births, particularly in a loving, harmonious environment,
superior souls are more likely to be born. Conversely, births
without love can lead to disturbed or inferior souls.

The Impact of Relationships on Souls

The text emphasizes the importance of love in relationships,

noting that marriages devoid of love create souls lacking
kindness and goodness. Sadhguru illustrates this through the
biological differences between men and women, suggesting
that women are more balanced due to their genetic
composition. This imbalance in men leads to restlessness and
discontentment, affecting their pursuits and relationships.

View on Bookey Website

Chapter 1 | N> bVgger lVe th0n de0th| Q&A

1.Question
What is the fundamental lie associated with death
according to Sadhguru's teachings?
Answer:Sadhguru suggests that the biggest lie is the
belief in death itself. He argues that death appears to
be true, yet it serves as a distraction from the real
essence of life, leading us to structure our lives
around the fear of it.

2.Question
How does fear of death shape human behavior and
societal structures?
Answer:The fear of death influences societal norms,
ambitions, and our pursuit for wealth and status. It has
caused individuals to form families and friendships, chase
career advancements, and even construct religious beliefs and
rituals, all rooted in this fundamental fear.

3.Question
In what way does Sadhguru argue that our understanding
of life is incomplete if we keep running away from the
idea of death?
Answer:Sadhguru emphasizes that as long as we live in fear
of death, we cannot live authentically or understand the true
joy and beauty of life. This fear inhibits our capacity to fully
engage with life, hindering us from realizing that perhaps
there is no real death.

4.Question
What does Sadhguru say about experiencing death
consciously?
Answer:Sadhguru posits that if we could consciously
experience death, we would no longer have fear associated
with it. He argues that true understanding comes from
voluntarily exploring the concept of death through
meditation and inner work, allowing us to encounter and
dissolve the fear surrounding it.

5.Question
How does Sadhguru connect meditation with the

Scan to Download
experience of death?
Answer:Sadhguru describes meditation as a voluntary entry
into death, where one can explore the separation of body and
consciousness, ultimately leading to an understanding that
even in death, the self persists. Meditation enables one to
withdraw from physical existence and recognize the eternal
nature of consciousness.

6.Question
What is the essence of the shadow metaphor in relation to
death?
Answer:The metaphor of the shadow represents the
omnipresence of death in our lives. Just as one cannot escape
their shadow, we cannot escape death—it's always lurking.
Attempting to evade this reality only leads to madness and a
hollow existence, whereas facing it can liberate us.

7.Question
What does Sadhguru suggest is the alternative to living in
fear of death?
Answer:The alternative to living in fear of death is to

confront and embrace it, leading to a profound understanding
of life. Only by recognizing the illusion of death can one
truly live fearlessly and authentically, experiencing life in its
fullness.

8.Question
What kind of life does Sadhguru imply we can achieve by
overcoming the fear of death?
Answer:By overcoming the fear of death, Sadhguru implies
that we can attain a life filled with joy, fulfillment, and
authentic connections. It allows for spiritual growth, freeing
oneself from societal constructs and engaging deeply with
the essence of existence.

9.Question
In Sadhguru's view, how does the collective perception of
death affect societal behavior?
Answer:The collective perception of death instills fear,
leading to negative behaviors such as greed, competition, and
destruction. He argues this widespread fear of death not only
distorts personal lives but also fuels conflict and

Scan to Download
disconnection among people.

10.Question
What ultimately leads to true freedom according to
Sadhguru?
Answer:True freedom comes from understanding death not
as an end but as an integral part of existence. When one sees
death clearly and embraces it, they unlock the capacity to live
with joy and purpose, free from the limitations imposed by
fear.
Chapter 2 | gn>r0nAe >f LVfe Vs De0th| Q&A
1.Question
What is the relationship between life and death according
to Sadhguru?
Answer:Sadhguru posits that ignorance of life leads
to the misconception of death. When we do not
comprehend life, we cannot truly understand death.
For those who truly know life, death is an impossible
notion. Essentially, the existence of death is tied to
our lack of familiarity with the essence of life.

Scan to Download
2.Question
Why does Sadhguru believe that the word 'death' is
fundamentally false?
Answer:Sadhguru asserts that the concept of death is a total
fallacy because no event like death ever occurs in the realm
of true existence. He emphasizes that what we perceive as
death happens only because we do not truly understand life;
hence, in an enlightened perspective, death is merely a
transition, not an end.

3.Question
How does Sadhguru illustrate the ignorance of life and
the fear of death?
Answer:He compares the nature of darkness and light to
illustrate this concept. Just as darkness cannot exist in the
presence of light, death cannot persist where life exists. As
long as we remain ignorant of the light of life, we fear the
darkness, which is perceived as death. Our ignorance engulfs
us in fear.

4.Question
What is Sadhguru's view on the true experience of life

Scan to Download
and death?
Answer:Sadhguru believes that to truly understand life, one
must withdraw their energy inwardly, through practices such
as meditation. Only by experiencing this internal awareness
does a person grasp the impermanence of the physical form
and the eternal nature of the soul. Death becomes a mere
transition, while life is an ongoing experience.

5.Question
What does Sadhguru mean by saying that 'man is not
mortal, he is immortal'?
Answer:Sadhguru argues that the essence of humanity is
immortal and that life itself is an eternal phenomenon. The
physical form may perish, but the true self—the
consciousness—remains and transcends beyond the physical
experience.

6.Question
Why is it essential to familiarize oneself with life to dispel
the fear of death?
Answer:Familiarizing oneself with the essence of life

Scan to Download
removes the fear of death because when one realizes their
inner immortality, the phantom anxiety of death dissipates.
This understanding empowers individuals to live fully and
joyously.

7.Question
How does Sadhguru suggest we can recognize the
immortality of the soul?
Answer:Sadhguru insists that the recognition of the soul's
immortality comes through profound inner experiences and
not through intellectual assertions. Engaging in practices that
draw one’s consciousness inward serves as a pathway to this
realization.

8.Question
What does Sadhguru suggest happens during the act of
dying?
Answer:During the dying process, the vital energy retracts
within itself, leading to a perception of sinking and
departing. This contraction can evoke fear and chaos,
blurring one’s awareness of the actual experience of death.

9.Question
What is the significance of the master of the house
analogy in understanding life?
Answer:The master represents the true self or consciousness
within a person, while the house symbolizes the physical
body. Just like one cannot know the masterpiece of a house
while only being familiar with its outer walls, one cannot
know life by merely engaging with the body without
experiencing the essence within.

10.Question
What kind of courage does Sadhguru say is necessary to
understand life and death?
Answer:Sadhguru emphasizes that it takes the courage to
engage in deep inner exploration, to break through the
ignorance of the body, and to understand the nature of one’s
existence, which is crucial for truly understanding the
interconnectedness of life and death.

11.Question
What is the overall message Sadhguru imparts regarding
life and death?

Scan to Download
Answer:The overarching message is an invitation to explore
and awaken to the true nature of life beyond physical
perceptions. It implores individuals to recognize their
immortal essence, to break free from the illusion of death,
and to embrace the vibrant experience of living fully.
Chapter 3 | SeeVng lVfe 0s 0 dre0m| Q&A
1.Question
How can one achieve full consciousness at the time of
birth?
Answer:One can achieve full consciousness at the
moment of birth if they die in a state of full
consciousness. Birth and death are two sides of the
same phenomenon; if one experiences death with full
awareness, the next birth is also in a state of
awareness. Thus, to ensure consciousness at birth,
one must focus on being conscious at the time of
death.

2.Question
What is the significance of being aware during the
processes of life and death?

Scan to Download
Answer:Being aware during life, particularly at the moment
of death, allows for a conscious transition into the next phase
of existence. This awareness helps to break the cycle of
unconscious birth and death, enabling one to remember past
lives and learn from them, thus not repeating the same
mistakes.

3.Question
Why is it suggested to not wait until death to seek
awakening?
Answer:Waiting until the moment of death to seek
awakening is a mistake because, without preparation and
practice during life, one cannot suddenly become aware at
such a critical moment. The journey towards awakening must
begin long before death to cultivate the necessary
consciousness.

4.Question
What does deep meditation have to do with the process of
death and being reborn?
Answer:Deep meditation prepares the individual for death by

helping them to develop an awareness that distinguishes the
self from the body. This practice increases the likelihood of
dying consciously and makes it possible to remember and
experience the subsequent birth in a state of awareness.

5.Question
What is the relationship between meditation and the
recall of past lives (Jti-smrana)?
Answer:Jti-smrana is a specific application of meditation
aimed at recalling past lives. Just as meditation is a broad
practice with many benefits, this method focuses the mind on
dormant memories of previous existences. Through
meditation, one can tap into these memories and gain insights
into their past lives.

6.Question
What precautions should one take when attempting to
remember past lives?
Answer:One should approach the recall of past lives with
great caution and preparation. It is advisable to reach a
significant level of meditation proficiency before attempting

Scan to Download
to remember past lives to avoid overwhelming emotional
reactions and mental distress.

7.Question
How can one differentiate between past lives and present
reality?
Answer:Once one recalls past lives, present reality may begin
to seem less substantial and more like a dream. This new
perspective can alter one’s understanding of existence and
highlight the transient nature of life experiences.

8.Question
Can one regress to lives as an animal after evolving into a
human?
Answer:While one may have existed as an animal in past
lives, it is not possible to regress to that state after evolving
into a human. Evolution is a one-way process, and backward
regression does not occur in terms of consciousness or
existence.

9.Question
How does the awareness of being separate from the
physical experience contribute to spiritual growth?

Scan to Download
Answer:Awareness of the separation between the self and the
physical body allows one to transcend ordinary experiences
and gain a deeper spiritual insight. It facilitates the
understanding that physical experiences are temporary and
that true essence lies beyond the corporeal.

10.Question
What are the implications of remembering past lives on
our current lives?
Answer:Remembering past lives can radically change one’s
outlook on current existence. It highlights the temporary
nature of material success and relationships, prompting one
to seek deeper, more meaningful experiences in life.

11.Question
How does suffering relate to the experience of awareness?
Answer:Experiencing suffering with awareness can
transform it into a spiritual discipline (sadhana). By
remaining aware during pain, individuals can develop
detachment from their suffering, leading to greater
consciousness and spiritual advancement.

12.Question
What role does meditation play in the face of death?
Answer:Meditation serves as a crucial preparation for death,
enabling individuals to cultivate a state of calm, presence,
and awareness that will allow them to face death without fear
and transition to the next stage with consciousness.

1.Question
Is it possible to realize God by seeing Him in everything?
Answer:One cannot truly know God in all unless
they first recognize Him within themselves. True
realization begins from within, and without knowing
the self, the divine in the external world remains
unrecognized.

2.Question
What is the significance of the individual self in realizing
the divine?
Answer:The self is the closest thing to you; understanding it
leads to an understanding of all creation. The journey inward
reveals the infinite connection to everything.

3.Question
Why can fantasizing about seeing God everywhere be
misleading?
Answer:Fantasizing about seeing God is merely a projection
of one’s imagination. True perception requires entering a
state where the individual ego dissolves and all that remains

is the divine.

4.Question
What does true meditation represent in relation to
temples?
Answer:Meditation is the ultimate temple where one can
experience the divine without walls or boundaries. It's not
about physically visiting a place but immersing oneself in the
unbounded consciousness.

5.Question
What happens to souls after they leave the body?
Answer:Souls are categorized, and those of lower
consciousness may struggle to find new bodies right away,
often becoming restless or seeking to enter others' bodies if
they cannot find suitable wombs.

6.Question
Can inferior souls harass people after death?
Answer:Yes, inferior souls may enter the bodies of fearful or
weak individuals, exacerbating their turmoil. They seek to
satisfy their cravings through engaging with living humans.

7.Question

What defines the significance of temples in modern
spirituality?
Answer:Temples should symbolize the divine and facilitate
meditation, making the sacred accessible everywhere.
However, when they become centers of politics or division,
they lose their spiritual significance.

8.Question
How do superior souls differ from inferior souls in
regards to reincarnation?
Answer:Superior souls wait for the right conditions to be
born into a suitable womb, whereas inferior souls may
quickly seek to reincarnate as they are tethered to physical
desires.

9.Question
What is a fundamental issue with current religious
practices related to temples?
Answer:The current practices have turned temples into
hotbeds of politics and conflict rather than places of spiritual
retreat and introspection, moving away from their intended

purpose.

10.Question
How should we perceive the presence of God in relation to
physical spaces?
Answer:We should recognize that God exists in all aspects of
reality, and that true temples are everywhere; our physical
spaces should be reflections of this universal divine presence.
Chapter 5 | ReturnVng t> the S>urAe| Q&A
1.Question
How can one triumph over death through meditation or
sadhana?
Answer:Triumphing over death means realizing that
death does not truly exist. It is about transcending
the fear and illusion of death through deeper
understanding. In meditation, one becomes fully
conscious, whereas in sleep, even though one reaches
a similar place, they remain unconscious. Awareness
is key in conquering the concept of death.

2.Question
Why can’t death be conquered through sleep, if we reach

Scan to Download
the same state in meditation?
Answer:In sleep, we are unconscious and cannot truly
experience or know that we have transcended death. True
triumph over death arises from awareness and consciousness
achieved through meditation, not merely from the
unconscious state of sleep.

3.Question
Is there a difference between meditation and
self-hypnosis?
Answer:Yes, the key difference lies in consciousness.
Meditation is a conscious awareness of the present, whereas
self-hypnosis involves inducing a state of relaxation and
sleep, which can lead to unconscious suggestions but lacks
the awareness and mindfulness integral to true meditation.

4.Question
What is the significance of sleep in our lives according to
the teachings?
Answer:Sleep is a vital connection to our source of life. It
rejuvenates and brings peace, but when sleep quality

deteriorates, it leads to chaos in life. Thus, the state of one's
sleep reflects their relationship with their inner self and the
divine.

5.Question
How does one achieve liberation from the cycle of birth
and death?
Answer:Liberation from the cycle of birth and death is not
about physically leaving this world but achieving a state of
non-attachment to all forms. This means becoming aware and
rooted in the present, free from illusions. It is realizing our
eternal nature rather than being caught in the cycles of
existence.

6.Question
What is the meaning behind seeking God and the idea of
finding versus losing God?
Answer:Seeking God implies an assumption of having lost
Him, which is not the case. God is always present and it is
merely our illusions and state of unconsciousness that make
us feel lost. Attaining God involves realizing that we have

Scan to Download
never truly been separated from Him, and awakening to this
truth lacks the need for searching among external symbols.

7.Question
What does the journey towards God involve according to
the text?
Answer:The journey to God is a return from illusion to truth.
It is about breaking free from the false narratives and
recognizing that we are already within the divine presence.
This transformation requires a shift from external pursuits to
internal awareness.

8.Question
Why is it important to be conscious during meditation,
rather than just drifting into sleep?
Answer:Being conscious during meditation allows one to
experience deeper states of awareness and connection to the
divine, whereas drifting into sleep leads to an unconscious
state where this realization cannot occur. Consciousness acts
as a bridge to understanding one's true self and the nature of
existence.

1.Question
What is the greatest truth according to Sadhguru?
Answer:The greatest truth is death, as it is an
inevitable reality that we all face. It serves as a
reminder of the temporary nature of life and the
importance of understanding this truth to live more
fully.

2.Question
How can death be considered both true and false?
Answer:Death is seen as true because our physical existence
will ultimately end, but it is false in the sense that there is a
deeper aspect of existence within us that transcends the
physical body, which never dies.

3.Question
What is the relationship between consciousness and
superstition?
Answer:Superstition arises from a lack of awareness and
understanding. As consciousness expands, it reduces the hold
of superstitions, encouraging individuals to base beliefs on

4.Question
What does Sadhguru suggest is necessary to break the
chains of superstition?
Answer:To truly break the chains of superstition, we need to
cultivate a scientific and rational mindset. This involves
understanding and questioning our beliefs and the reasoning
behind them, rather than simply rejecting them outright.

5.Question
What does being 'cognitive' mean in the context of this
chapter?
Answer:Being cognitive means to think critically, seek
knowledge, and maintain an inquisitive nature. It emphasizes
the importance of personal experience in understanding the
deeper aspects of existence.

beliefs and fear.

ghosts, what does Sadhguru recommend?
Answer:He suggests taking a balanced approach—neither
wholly accepting nor outright denying such beliefs without
investigation, emphasizing the need for personal experience
and understanding.

8.Question
What is the core problem in humanity according to
Sadhguru?
Answer:The core problem lies in thoughtlessness and a
tendency to accept beliefs and superstitions without
questioning them. This thoughtless acceptance leads to a lack
of genuine understanding and awareness.

Why is it important to pursue knowledge rather than
accept pre-packaged answers?
Answer:Pursuing knowledge through personal experience

Accepting pre-packaged answers may provide temporary
relief but lacks depth and true wisdom.

10.Question
What does Sadhguru indicate is essential for personal
transformation?
Answer:Personal transformation requires diligent effort,
self-inquiry, and a commitment to the pursuit of knowledge
and understanding rather than relying on established beliefs
or superstitions.

11.Question
How can one attain a genuine experience of truth?
Answer:A genuine experience of truth comes from engaging
deeply with one's own life experiences, learning through
them, and maintaining an open and inquisitive attitude
towards the world.
