Turn Your Pain Into Power, Not Poison | Sadhguru

from The School of Greatness · host Lewis Howes, Sadhguru

When something painful happens, you get to make one quiet choice that decides everything after it. Do you become wise, or do you become wounded. That single choice is what Sadhguru, the New York Times bestselling author of Karma: A Yogi's Guide to Crafting Your Destiny, calls the real meaning of karma. Not reward. Not punishment. A platform you can either dance on or sink into like quicksand. He explains why the same waste that smells like filth is also the fertilizer everything beautiful grows from. Why your intelligence becomes a curse the moment your identity stays small. Why the people who hurt the world most are not the worst people, just the most empowered ones. This is a conversation about memory, freedom, and the difference between chasing happiness and expressing joy.
