Enlightenment · What It Is (In The Presence of the Master Book 1)

What does it really mean to know yourself? How does it feel to have no more questions about life – its meaning, its purpose, its glaring inequalities? What does it mean to reach, not just a roadblock, not a fueling station, not a cul-de-sac, but the actual end of the journey? What does it mean – really mean – to be enlightened?

In an intimate encounter with Sadhguru, one of the most profound mystics of our time, a group of listeners shared not just their curiosity, but their confusions. It was a unique opportunity to sit face-to-face with a realized being, and the questions flowed thick and fast. In his inimitable style, precise and humorous, logical and compassionate, Sadhguru responded to some age-old questions about what it means to live in the realm of the mystic – and why some get there and some don’t.

Death, by contrast, remains a more democratic destination. Unlike enlightenment, which seems often unfairly (as one questioner put it) to be the preserve of a lucky few, death is the proverbial leveler – unambiguous and inexorable, not to mention invariably inconvenient, if not downright terrifying. Even those who claim to be unafraid would concede that they cannot be indifferent to the fact that they have no clue of what happens when the curtains drop. And drop they always do.

This unique two-in-one volume combines two discussions with Sadhguru, each encompassing a diverse range of themes. What emerges from these stimulating exchanges is the voice of a master – crisp, authoritative and inspirational, offering a refreshingly new take on questions that all seekers

will recognize as their own.
