Karma, Consciousness, and Freedom | A Discussion with Sadhguru, Tony, and Sage Robbins

The Tony Robbins Podcast

Sadhguru, a beloved friend of Tony and Sage, sits down to discuss identity, consciousness, inner freedom, human evolution, and his book Karma, A Yogi's Guide to Crafting Your Destiny.

Watch the discussion HERE.

Sadhguru is a true luminary of our time and offers in this interview a fresh understanding of Karma and its common misperceptions. Removing the stigma of "good Karma" or "bad Karma," Sadhguru explains that our karma actually has the ability to enhance our lives if only we choose to use our past, and our memories of it, in ways that serve our perception of life, personal evolution, and spiritual growth.
