Spirituality Is Extraordinary Greed: Monsoon Feature

1) Sadhguru discusses how human beings constantly seek expansion through whatever means they know best, whether that be money, knowledge, love, or pleasure. However, people ultimately seek boundless, infinite expansion which cannot be achieved through physical or finite means. 2) He explains that while people try to find the infinite through physical or worldly pursuits, the physical world is limited and finite, so this will only lead to frustration. True infinite expansion can only be found through connecting with the infinite Creator rather than finite creation. 3) Sadhguru founded Isha Foundation to help change people's context of life from one of unwilling collaboration to joyful collaboration, in order to live life interdependently and collaboratively
