The Need for Survival vs. The Need to Expand - Sadhguru | After Skool
Summary
This episode explores the tension between the instinct for self-preservation and the innate desire for boundless expansion. The speaker argues that focusing solely on survival creates self-imprisonment, while true liberation requires transcending physical and mental boundaries. By establishing a distance between the self and the body or mind, one can end suffering and overcome the fear that limits human potential.
