Avadhanis: Accessing the Mind’s Incredible Capabilities

Sadhguru speaks about the phenomenal capabilities of the mind, and how in Indian culture, people have learnt to nurture these capabilities.

During a panel conversation at MIT, Sadhguru responds to a question on the brain and consciousness, and he gives a yogic perspective on the 4 layers of mind.

Sadhguru looks at the various stages of one’s spiritual growth, and how one aspect – the divya manas – confers seemingly miraculous powers.

Sadhguru looks at how in the yogic system, the mind is seen as having 16 parts. He looks at four fundamental parts - the buddhi or intellect, the ahankara or identity, the manas or memory and chitta, which is pure intelligence.
