Mike Tyson
Former professional boxer and actor Mike Tyson who appeared in
Puri Jagannadh's Liger
intreacted with Sadhguru. During their conversation, Tyson said, "I never thought any good would ever happen to me growing up in my environment, in my neighbourhood. You always feel bad, people died. It was just normal seeing people die, seeing prostitutes, seeing that kind of filthy stuff, it was normal. As a matter of fact, it was even honourable because it became so normal. We normalised it."
Matthew McConaughey
Sadhguru once left the Hollywood actor speechless. The Interstellar star intreacted with the spiritual Guru and asked him abour dreams, karma and spirituality. During their conversation, Sadhguru said, "What can you dream of? Right now I don¡¯t know what you are drinking, suppose it¡¯s coffee. If you have had one cup of coffee, maybe you will dream of a parallel coffee. If you have a million dollars, maybe you will think of a billion dollars. I am saying all your dreams are just exaggerations of what you already know. If you go like this, you are ensuring that nothing new ever happens to you. So my blessing is 'may your dreams not come true', ¡®may things that you could never dream of happening to you¡¯. If you have to be an open possibility like this, it¡¯s very important that we understand, that is why karma is very important. Karma means it¡¯s the bedrock of your memory. It¡¯s the bedrock of memory means who you are right now as a person."
Trever Noah
Sadhguru was once a guest on The Daily Show hosted by comedian Trevor Noah. Trevor gave him a platform to talks about Saving Soil to Grow Better Crops.
