"Science should never conclude what we do not know can not exist." Thank you SO MUCH for saying this.🙏
Science never said that sadguru said that 😅
@@sujith5920science constantly asserts that. They will treat what they cannot prove as if it doesn’t exist.
haha! Yeah, science overflows with hubris like that...@@sujith5920
Steve answer was perfectly punch out sadguru s' attack with no doubt, "nor spirituality should believe of something exist without reasons".
Science (which is a process not a person) doesn't conclude that. Sadhguru is attacking a strawman. Name one scientist in history that has ever said that
Mr Pinker's skepticism showcases the boundaries of western logic!
This debate demonstrated how "science" can block one' mind to conclude reality without knowing and self-awareness, while how "spirituality" can open one's mind for generative dialogues that expands one's knowing and consciousness. Namaste Sadhguru ! 🙏
Professor Pinker's explanation of what consciousness is is similar to that of a physicist telling us that Beethoven's Ninth is a series of superposed acoustic waves 😅
in realty , it actually is ...every sound is combination of series of acoustic waves ..which you can write through Fourier series
I like your comment, very deep :-)
@@souravdeb283 in reality, it actually is more than that.
@@souravdeb283 representation vs real thing
'This'! 💯%!
Sadhguru is ahead of the crowd...Always. Many in the crowd have zero understanding of how broad his train of thought is.
@ the same time everyone does ;)
Sadhguru has no thoughts. You should watch his more videos.
He is not even in the crowd
yup
Lol
The clarity of Sadhguru never fails 🙏🙇♀️❤️ He is truly a miracle 🙏🔥🌻
Clarity. The one "consumable" you can't overdose on.
@AtoZandbaI never feel so... Pinker is too educated as he miss the education..
Here's some clarity then: all he did was re-purpose the meaning of the word "miracle" from super-natural to natural. Pinker answered the question with 'miracle' meaning super natural. Sadhguru answered the question with 'miracle' meaning amazing natural event. A play on words.
@@RavisidharthanHe “missed the education” ? Sounds like another person who fears science or the scientific method, and seeks comfort in mythology.
@@readynowforever3676I think it's said in another context , I think it's about "continuous unlearning process" , Which can help to avoid biases and pre built conclusions which dont let us think freely or from a different perspective. It is one of the important principal of critical thinking. And I think sometimes we as humans are afraid of free thinking and we find comfirt in facts said by someone. So we dont have to think out of the box , bcoz it scares us.
I can only learn from you Sadhguru.....untouched, unconditional, loving ILLUMINED!!!
The oratory skill of Sadguru is unparalleled...even though english is probably his 2nd or 3rd language
If you think he is unparalleled, then you need to watch more English debates .
At 24 mins in and I'm amazed at the extraordinary fluency, smooth, and easy flow of wisdom from Sadguru. Not trying to prove anything but leaving room for one to think, not conclude and for wonder and curiosity to flow like the ganges. Wisdom arises out of right perception.
❤
But Sadhguru also said "man can not think beyond the content of his memory". So, even if one is given the room to think, one can not think exceptionally due to limited data. No?
@@madhukiranattivilli2321 thinking is limited to our experience, but when u stop mind (thought field), your buddhi(intelligence) directly attached to supreme consciousness. and from there intuition comes. that is how 'Mantras' are flowed from Brahaman to Human via Rishi.
@@user-gp1zy3up7y Yes, all that is right However it is not feasible to stop mind. With practice, mind may stop the thought stream No?
@@user-gp1zy3up7ywhat can you do with that flow. Did anyone achieve anything. Please join school 🏫 you need to wash this jargon away
Man... How much patience does sadhguru have to endure people like steven !! That itself demands respect 🙏🙏
Hahaha
The shoes say it all
@@asv8104 have you tried thinking? It helps sometimes.
Correct.. Sadhguru at one point had to stop using the word Miracle and replace it with Magical experience😂 because the scientist was sticking to miracle in the western world meaning.
@@alexkreyn315again, thinking is a limited process that you are enduring 🤷♂️
I am shocked to see the Harvard Prof. couldn't even come to the same page of discussion in the first place, that too after given the direct explanation the umpteenth time!!
What a beautiful line said by sadghuru 'Science should never conclude what we do not know cannot exist' ❤❤❤
Well said
Just because we can think of it doesn't mean it's likely it exists.
True
@@Ometecuhtli duh
neither should people conclude something exists without evidence.
The balance and calmness that Sadhguru brings to a heated conversation is impeccable. ❤
I wondered if Sadhguru's wife was equally impressed when he murdered her.
@@mangatinanda I like how Pinker questions Sadhguru,
That's why he is sadhguru
Yes, but this was not a heated conversation. Pinker is quite chill too.
Even dead people will bring calmness to any grave. What’s the point of bringing calmness when he doesn’t have anything valuable to offer in this debate.

"This video came to me at the right time. Buddha's words have a way of providing solace and guidance. Grateful for this virtual refuge of wisdom."
Sadhguru didn't offer wisdom; he offered feel-good ignorance.

This is nice video thank you @peaceHow
It’s unbelievable how Sadhguru using simple words makes so much sense and gets right to the point but this other guy is talking in circles using elaborating words and just talks making no sense. But hey , they are trying. Sadhguru doesn’t have to make it complicated because he just speaks the truth. Sadhguru is the best.
Absolutely 💯 !
It's all wonderful! But I know one thing! In my personal experience, the teachings of Sadhguru transformed me in the physical, mental and spiritual aspect. I remember myself 3 years ago, and I know myself today, and that's a big difference. I am grateful to you Sadhguru , and I will continue to work on myself, because I see real results. Your teaching has a healing effect. Namaste 🙏🏻 ❤
Same here❤❤❤
Sadhguru would say he just provided tools, it was you who transformed yourself.
Can you explain in detail how you got transformed?
Have you taken inner eingineering?
@@rahulsanku1803 just simply followed his advice and teaching. Meditations, yoga and healthy choices of food and supplements.
Being here in the US the one speaker that just based on my "Vibes" the shouts truth in every cell of my body is Sadhguru!
@PeaceHow
Thanks Mr Steven Pinker for showing us the light.
I felt anxious while listening to Prof. Steven explain about consciousness, and I calmed down immediately when Sadhguru started speaking. :)
Yeah thats true
😂
Oh
Truth might not always be calming, it's not a fantasy, reality can be joyful & painful aswell..
@@gametests Agreed.. however, as Einstein said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough".
Whenever I'm down, confused, or distracted, I get back to a full talk of Sadhguru with David Eagleman. I consider it one of the most intelligent conversation in the internet history that's available, but after this talk with Mr. Pinker I would consider this talk too to keep repeating almost every once in a while I need! 🙏🏼
Search "Memory, Consciousness and Coma Harvard by Sadhguru" You'll love it 🙏🏽
Yes!!🎉
I am one of those also who always refer back to Sadhguru’s discussion with David Eagleman. I believe also this is a landmark discussion and will be referred back to for 100s of years, to enhance human understanding of Life.
Mr Eagleman is so direct and has the highest regard for Sadguru ( not the variety that the so called devotees show...) I feel that's exactly the way in which exchange of views should happen....
Alan Watts lectures are good for that too.
1:04 Sadhguru is RIGHT ON here from my perspective. It agrees with my own understanding and personal experience.
@PeaceHow
I love that they put these two brilliant minds together and gave us two separate perspectives fr❤❤❤
I find Sadhguru the opposite of brilliant.
I find your comment the opposite of brilliant. 😛@@Vlasko60
Thank you Mr. Sadhguru for having patience and compassion with Mr. Pinker. You are a wonderful teacher.
Mr pinker is ignorant
I have no words ! When he said 'even animals are striving to be better than anyone, we as human beings should strive for more " all i needed to hear.All the love to Sadhguru ❤❤❤❤
♥
❤
And why do you think that just because Sadhguru said " 'even animals are striving to be better than anyone", that is true? How does Sadhguru have any info about this? Why would anyone believe such extraordinary claims just because they are uttered by someone they like w/o being presented evidentiary proof of it or w/o their own experential evidence?
The mentalist lior suchard can read and influence the mind. Pinker doesn't know about it or he doesn't like to accept the existence of people like that.
evolution
1:16 plus ... LOVE the content and expression by Sadhguru. The inner, the subjective move me the most ... they always have. Western perspective focus on WHAT. It ismore important to know WHY and what MEANING there is in our experience.
This is nice video thank you @PeaceHow
Such a profound debate between the intellectuals!Worth listening and provoking the self towards awe and enigma of existence and life .
Two Great doctors sitting on the stage. One has the grace to sit gracefully bending forward and the other has the ignorance to sit with one leg over other. To most people, the one with a long face seems more intellectual but he is in no way experiencing the life as the other enjoys with grace. Not a single smile from Mr.steven in this whole conversation. Anyways the questions that he is having were the same that I used to have in the past and that is the moment when Guru entered my life and gave me the answers in whichever way I could understand. Mr. Steven needs to be initiated into kriya yoga😅
“Truth comes from life not from labs” 🙏
VERY Nice statement. 👍
Your phones and tech you own came from lab. Electricity, Internet, knowledge of space came from a lab. Truth does come from science. Others are just assumptions.
@@mayankpal6519 Good luck to your 5 senses! I embrace Sprituality as much I embrace Science. But it’s your choice. However because you do not understand this it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I can only term this as ignorance
@@anishnagaraj we say the moon exists because we have actual evidence for it and based on that evidence we can verify the claim, also note that the moon has a very clear definition, everyone experiences the moon objectively the same, whereas whenever someone brings up spirituality - everyone suddenly has their personal definitions for it. every person defines spirituality differently according to their biases, also none of the spiritual experiences claimed by spiritual people are testifiable nor verifiable and not a single one of them has evidence for their experience to be "real". if while meditating I see a giant cat wearing a cape, with two wings, flying across the sky - that is my experience, "my life", but is it actually the truth? We will have to first verify the claim with proper testing and searching for the evidence, and guess who does it? - the labs. So no, the truth doesn't come from our subjective experiences but from the objective reality! hope you'll try to understand :)
@@mayankpal6519lol as if there was no life before this instruments.
What a wonderful conversation. Such conversation must organise by time to time to churn our thoughts. 🙏 Naman Sadguru
This is an amazing and inspiring talk that anyone who considers themselves an intelligent being should hear. Signs of sanity that are so rare these days. Thank you
חד משמעית
It’s so nice to see people debate like adults for a change.
Dont see this as a debate ... these are two sides of a page ... if you look at it wisely
I use to be like Steven. His ideology brought me to extreme suffering. It wasn't until devotion came into my life that things became beautiful once again.
I’m glad you healed! 🕉🙏💜
how did it bring suffering?
Too much mind brings suffering. You need to know when to mind when not to.
Science is the baby
This is ridiculous, pinker doesnt even have an ideology.
Truth comes from life ❤
what is life
God did it
What is love
Incredible conversation, thanks for sharing, wonderful insights from the two distinct knowledge faculties. 👍
There is no controlled boundary in how many ways you can enjoy Sadhguru’s words. What a truly wonderful mystic.
pisstic
As long as people's fascination and attachment with their brain doesnt go away, they will never understand Sadhguru.
I think you got it backwards
@@amirkassem1367👏👏👏👏😅😅😅
Beautifully said Sadhguru 🙏🏾
This could have been such a great conversation! Hats off to Sadhguru articulating it so nicely and making it easy to understand...❤
What you understood?
We can understand his arguements. We can also understand he’s wrong and Pinker is right and has the proof.
You have two ears? Should have used both and it would have been all the greater a conversation for you.
@PeaceHow
@@karagi101 what exactly did Sadhguru say that was wrong? I can tell you right now that Pinker started off on the wrong foot with a very faulty definition of consciousness. There are organisms without actual brains that exhibit consciousness.
Seriously, having separate mic for each is miracle !
It is to ensure only one person is talking at a time. And that, there is enough civility to pass it to each other.
How do you explain something real that can't be measured by tools? I appreciate Sadguru for sitting patiently and explaining the way the schools of Dharma teach kids... Most sages, rishis, saints have given up trying to explain and went their way... away from mankind...
Loved this, I respect both Dr Pinker and Sadguru.. What a treat for me.
A discussion with Dr. Pinker and Dr. Joseph Dispenza would be an excellent discussion. Dr. Dispenza provides a bridge between the brain, thoughts, consciousness and “miracles”.
I know this was not a competition but... Sadhguru won.
Absolutely 😊
Hands down!

When I look at the world; I despair. When I hear the words of wisdom from this mighty Sage Sadhguru; I feel hope.
I have recently started to see tremendous hope for all.
Same here as well.
I love how a man who only understands about .0001% of the universe is so confident in his knowledge.
Confidently disussing the topic does not mean that they assume of 100% knowledge. So, don't overread it.
Which one are you talking about ?
A miracle to have these two people together in conversation! ;) Really appreciate it.
both of them are saying very intelligently, but only Sadhguru words make my eye watering and touch deep to the heart.
Steven is a teacher for college students, and Sadguru is a guide for advance seekers.
Who can hug a person who totally contradicted you for 2 hours straight...🙏 Such Grace
@meisterhouse9747 opposed to bitterness within
We all must get to that place, that's the lesson.
Union or yoga or Sadhguru
Yea I almost stopped the video 🙏 but I just 🙏😁
Yes. Isn't it though? So beautiful.
Pinker is sure a high caliber science. His talk is pure substance. Articulate and always precise!
It is important, especially now, for there to be open discourse about this life without needing to be right. This is what I experienced here. It is then up to the listener to go inward and feel the truth and trust it.
This discussion is a grand feast for my intellect. Despite being a scientist by profession, I resonate more with Sadhguru's ideas because I can feel the energies beyond the physical realm that he discusses. Experiencing his presence was a blessing, and that encounter has influenced my perspective on science since. Thank you Sadhguru🙏🙏🙏.
❤
Fantastic conversation. In college I read Steven Pinker's books as part of my psychology & neuroscience classes. I also learned so much from Sadhguru, especially when it comes to using the tools of yoga & meditation to live a vibrant, fulfilling life. To see a world-renowned cognitive scientist and profound mystic interact, what a fortune! 🔥
Well the scientist is stuck in his intellect unfortunately. Continuosly misenterpreting the word Miracle and saying Sadhguru is making up jargon. But, it's his life and he can believe whatever he wants.
But you, or Steven, don't know what's Meditation. Define it if you know. Every definition you'll come up with will be WRONG. So if you want to learn, may be Sadguru, or a TRUE Spiritual guru, can help.
@@dhirajgupta7435 How could you know if we know how to meditate or not. You are very pressumptious and i doubt you even meditate to come up with a comment like that.
This is nice video thank you @PeaceHow

Sadguru’s save the soil campaign is very important & impressive!
Sadhguru is on a completely different (deeper) level of understanding.
What level that may be ?
@@SB-by5mt*deeper*
Indeed he is. But it's not a better or worse level, it is just different
Sadhguru means the assumed personal working name ...His inner status is the Vedic Satguru or One of Five Perfect Masters of the present Now...
When you put a person on a pedestal you will not see the mistakes they make
Here is proof that the intellect is a major obstacle as we can’t hear others when we are busy thinking. Skip class and go for a walk in nature!😂❤
Yup!! “If I have not witnessed it, it can’t happen” is the most non-intellectual stance to have.
he stills one of the best scientist in the world even if he is 100% rational. Science base on physicality is made that way. We didn't hold 1% of his knowledge.
@@Phil2535935 His foolishness is deterring and if science is based on his level of consciousness, ppl need to wake up and question science way more.
I know 😂at one point all I heard was blah blah blah.
@@numerologicatarot3333well in this case, it's an experience
Great conversation from great human minds
The whole us is more then a miracle & consciousness being a part of it ! Thankyou 🤍 ☝️🙏
I think is crazy how Sadhguru can just destroy this scientist arguments with such an ease and love.... From being a medical student and a passionate for neurosciences I can understand how we can get disconnected from our core. Thinking consciousness is a brain thing sounds right but it just show us how we are looking for answers outside when the truth is so so close. Thank you so much for existing sadhguru and giving us such a broad perspective available for everyone
I can bet on the fact that you aren’t a medical student. If you were , you wouldn’t have stated that Sadhguru destroyed Steven Pinker’s argument. Lol. Being in the medical field, I believe both of them kept their arguments from each other’s side and nobody superseded the other.
@@deepanshinegi4963 this scientist obviously haven’t explored meditation. This scientist is sooooo caught up in the fact that science is all there is. I was like that too. He didn’t even know the meaning of consciousness. He miss understood consciousness for awareness because he hasn’t done any inner work. Once you go there this become so clear that you have to drop all your academy stuff.

So true
Seems like this comment is written bi CHAT GPT 😂
Lol he made no sense
thank you so much honorable sadhguru and your guest.
Some people only see things in black and white and claim to acknowledge the gray areas, and there are the few that see, consider, and regard all aspects of existence. I love Sadhguru's take...

It shows ur brain couldnt process anything that the prof said....
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Who is arrogant and ignorant?
@@lancerag1437who do u think
@lancerag1437 the white bafoon in this case.
Sadhguru always says " SIMPLY SIT". You will experience why he says this when you simply sit.😊
To discuss anything we need to agree on the definition. If not, this conversation can go on forever. To me life itself is a miracle!
As Sadhguru has already said in his previous speeches, you turn a bread into a human being. Isn't it a miracle?
Amazing ❤❤ One of the best discussions 🙏 🙏
A guy who has no experience with meditation, who "believes" that brain activity is everything, writes a book called "Enlightenment now “ which is described as the greatest book in the world by one of the richest man who has access and influence over a vast amount of “our" resources. Really tells us where our collective consciousness lies and the amount of work we all have ahead of us
😂
Only in america a guy who knows nothing of meditation and only just physical body can write a book on Enlightnment Now and also become famous. Hahahhahaha. Hilarious.😂😂😂😂
Maybe you should read the book and find out that there are two meanings of the word "enlightenment".
This conversation in itself is a great contribution to today's world. This what we need. This what should be there in our textbooks.
True we need these kinds of talks/debates a lot in today's world.
This video is a perfect example of take what resignates and what doesn't. Of being in perfect harmony verses in your mind or should I say OUT of your mind. I almost shut this off half way through because I just couldn't listen to the guy in the middle anymore, but I love Sadhguru and his gentle voice and his state of BE-ING...❤ This is a perfect debate to show what is going on in our 🌎 today. We have to all learn our true souls existence and LIVE it..💫💖
resonates
Spirituality keeps things simple. Science is making everything complicated😊
If a dentist gives me an anesthetic to numb a tooth, I am still conscious, I am conscious of the lack of pain. A lack of pain does not equate to a lack of consciousness, it equates to a different experience for consciousness to experience. It alters the way consciousness interprets it's surroundings and experiences through the medium of the brain. The brain is like the universal translator that allows consciousness to experience it's existence, it is not the source of consciousness, nor does putting electrodes on someones synapses prove that consciousness is formed in the brain, it merely alters the experience that consciousness has, like switching the translation device to a different language.
When we say consciousness in the east we are not talking about mental alertness..we are talking about a dimension without memory,no-thing,non physical that can't be measured but experienced not understood intellectually
Aware not conscious
@@rapgodsaint2171 Chit .... Pure, unmodified, limitless, attributeless, ever-present, all-pervasive, non-dual awareness

doesnt want people to worship what u mean by that?
What a delight to hear two fine minds coming from different perspectives engaging in respectful and intelligent dialogue! Thank you. A lot can be learned about decency in discourse by watching this video.
I was disappointed in Pinkerton, it seemed to me he was quite condescending.
I’m a fan of them both and I feel like they are both correct, just looking at the subject from different angles.
I feel sorry as well as a sense of gratitude to Sadhguru for taking the pains to bring higher wisdom out into a world which is a victim of and is blinded by its own limited progress, success and imagination. This is some service He is performing.
♥
Because he did the best of what he could u r able to see what u can see today, he is continuing what he does best.. Bringing conciousness into the world ❤
you will see improvements in the coming times! 😅
An observer is a detector like any detector, but the mind continues the observations repeatedly from mind-moment (Chittakhana) to mind-moment. Also, the mind can see the small light waves. Therefore, the mind is a very fast continuation of a process.

The scientist is very true and the access to information and its proper utilisation is the best way to live.
Everything naturally occurring is nothing but miraculous.
When I listen to Sadguru I feel instantly enlightened. His wisdom blows my mind away. I appreciate both guests.
the delusion of enlightment
The feeling of enlightenment is not enlightenment. That's called solace.
It’s not his wisdom. He copies.
He gave reasons, and you still think we should not believe something without reasons, don’t believe, but also don’t conclude. As I said before, he is a hard-headed scientists as most scientist are, very invested in the ways of thinking, ignoring all other life‘s aspects and dimensions, this is why I left the scientific community and looking for something else to do and serve.

@@harleydavidsonstreetbob1322they refuse to look beyond what conclusion they have over things. Sadhguru has said the same thing more than once in this conversation but.. no offence or criticism... The other person refused to look beyond their own conclusions. That is ignorance. Not taking sides but if you looked deeper then Sadhguru never ignored what the other party or any party said. He simply said everything from his experience not from books or knowledge. Well in short he explores or rather already explored. In short If you have a complete conclusion about things from 5 senses then you are ignorant.
universities were created to build a work force NOT to educate … thank God for spiritual teachers like Sadguru
What an amazing talk by both
Sadhgurus Logical argument that we can go beyond or genetics and science can be summed up in the last 4 minutes of this Conversation! Not complicated not dismissing science! Just FACTS. Thank You Sadhguru.
In the end, Sadhguru embracing Prof Steven brings so much Joy !!!
Sadhguru ❤ I feel sorry for this professor that he has experienced nothing outside of his own intellect. I have and am better for it ❤
I don’t think the professor even understood what the topic really was
I beg to differ. Professor Pinker performed well in the discussion.
lol
Beautifully said Sadhguru 🙏🏾. You make me proud to belong to the Indian culture and its intelligence and humanity.
